Super Invincible Immortal Doctor - Capítulo 1739

Capítulo 1739: Chapter 1740: General

“What do you mean?”

Watching the Ancient Clan elders beside him who seemed to have realized something, and looking at Su Chengyu who already appeared assured.

Han Xiaotian, who had realized that the situation was no longer under his control, was visibly uneasy and his questioning became uneasy.

But Su Chengyu, whose mind had grown increasingly clear, found his thoughts gradually stabilizing.

“Literal meaning. Even if the Han Secret Envoy doesn’t know, you should have heard, some secret techniques of aristocratic families are passed down without leaving any books or Yu Jian, only orally transmitted by the core members within the clan, imprinted in the Sea of Consciousness. This method is favored by the Ancient Clans to ensure the secrets don’t fall into outsiders’ hands.”

Hearing this unexpected piece of information, Han Xiaotian turned to Jiang Mo and Xiao Ting, who understood they couldn’t avoid it and had to speak.

“Indeed, however, these memories are deeply buried in the depths of our Sea of Consciousness. Unless we are turned into puppets with consciousness, even the strongest Soul Searching Technique cannot forcibly extract the secret techniques.”

The art of puppetry is but a minor branch, and puppets with intellect are extraordinarily rare in history.

Moreover, those who could obtain the Ancient Clan’s core secrets would have high realms; meeting these conditions is nearly impossible.

Han Xiaotian understood what Su Chengyu was saying, which he simply couldn’t achieve. But at this point, how could he easily let go of the opportunity?

He looked at Su Chengyu and continued to ask, “What makes you guarantee that you can extract those Luo Clan secret techniques? Just relying on that Luo Changping? How much of the Luo Clan’s treasures can he learn?”

“He cannot, but Nan Zhi can.”

Su Chengyu made a decisive statement, then continued without hesitation.

“To accelerate Nan Zhi’s promotion to the Hollow Void Realm, the Luo Clan has instilled almost all of their secret techniques into Nan Zhi’s mind. The Luo Clan, already in dire straits, could only choose this path; even if the secret techniques Nan Zhi can truly use are less than a tenth.”

“Ridiculous! Who would believe such a claim! Do you really think His Majesty would, because of your few words, give the Luo Clan a chance to survive?”

“Without those secret techniques, even if the bloodline isn’t completely severed, the Luo Clan is already nominally extinct. Furthermore, isn’t what His Majesty wants precisely those Ancient Clan secret techniques? From establishing the Imperial Academy to appointing Lord National Master to lead it, you should know better than me why the position of the Dean remains vacant, only to be led by the National Master. It’s because His Majesty wants to control these things personally.”

“Su Chengyu! You’ve said too much!”

Han Xiaotian spoke loudly. These matters he could know, Su Chengyu could know, but how could other Ancient Clan members present hear it?

Su Chengyu smiled, “His Majesty may trust you, but it seems you truly don’t understand him at all. Our Majesty has always operated in plain sight. Does the Luo Clan not know he wants to deal with them? Do the Ancient Clans not know he intends to target them? His Majesty doesn’t mind me revealing these things; in fact, he would rather they all know. With the Luo Clan as an example, it only embellishes subsequent actions, providing other Ancient Clans with an additional choice.”

Han Xiaotian’s face darkened at this moment. He could understand what Su Chengyu was saying, but he couldn’t accept it.

He couldn’t accept that the chance to corner Su Chengyu was slipping from his control, and he clenched his fists, finally questioning Su Chengyu again.

“What makes you think His Majesty will believe you can turn over all the Luo Clan’s secrets and then offer them a way out?”

Han Xiaotian’s question, admittedly, was very critical, as Su Chengyu had almost no way to prove this matter.

After all, the heart of the Saint Envoy is difficult to predict, especially this one, who reformed Xia Country so extensively.

You might say today’s His Majesty has less courage than the Late Emperor, but no one dares deny his ambition, nor claim to fully understand what goes on in his heart.

But…

“Han Secret Envoy seems to have misunderstood a problem. For this matter, I only need to report to His Majesty, not to you. If I fail, it is His Majesty who will deal with me, not you. Don’t forget, the Heaven Punishment Department has never been above my Demon Slayer Department! And my Demon Slayer Department always enjoys more autonomy than Heaven Punishment!”

This time, Su Chengyu lied.

The Dragon Soul governs the internal, while the Demon Slayer governs the external, with Heaven Punishment overseeing both.

So the reality is, internally and externally, both the Demon Slayer Department and Dragon Soul, along with the Heaven Punishment Department, hold the higher authority to directly decide the other’s actions.

However, this power was completely abolished more than a decade ago after the massive upheaval in the Capital City.

After the disappearance of Qiu Tianlin, the reshuffled Heaven Punishment Department had long lost the power to oversee the world’s punishment, and the responsibility of supervising the Heavenly Son.

Yet Su Chengyu was certain that Han Xiaotian couldn’t know this.

Because accompanying this power’s abolition, he believed no matter how much His Majesty trusted Han Xiaotian, he would never tell him this fact.

“Han Secret Envoy, you have been checkmated.”

“You…”

Han Xiaotian stared at Su Chengyu, unable to utter another word. He knew his last setup for Su Chengyu had been completely unraveled by the latter.

He just couldn’t understand where Su Chengyu’s confidence came from, that he could convince His Majesty to spare the Luo Clan.

It’s impossible, he couldn’t.

His Majesty’s desire to eliminate the Ancient Clans wasn’t a day’s or two’s intention; Su Chengyu was merely deluding himself.

“Alright, then you’ll take responsibility for this matter. If His Majesty reproaches you afterward, I hope the Heavenly Balance Saint Envoy won’t shirk it!”

“Rest assured, Han Secret Envoy.”

With those words, Su Chengyu finally disregarded the clown in front of him and turned back to Bai Qiu and the others.

Bai Qiu quickly stepped forward, whispering, “Are you okay? Just now, your aura seemed a bit unstable.”

Su Chengyu shook his head, “After all, I just recovered. In that moment when I wanted to make a move, I realized I couldn’t really act right now.”

“So you calmed down because of it?”

Ling Xiao on the side chimed in sarcastically.

Su Chengyu chuckled, “Not entirely, even without this injury, I think I would’ve kept my cool.”

Long Ao Tian, hearing this, seemed disappointed, “What a pity; I really wanted to give that cheap grandson a good beating.”

Su Chengyu glanced at Long Ao Tian calmly, “Do not underestimate the enemy. Though Han Xiaotian’s realm seems to be only at the early Hollow Void, without surprise, this guy surely has special trump cards, and even his realm might be faked.”

“Being cautious is indeed wise. If we really fight that bunch, we may not have much chance. Among those Ancient Clan Martial Gods, there’s one almost certainly in the half-step Hollow Void Realm.”

Bai Qiu agreed from the side.
