Super Invincible Immortal Doctor - Capítulo 1740

Capítulo 1740: Chapter 1741: The Undertow Continues

“Yes, so everyone must remain vigilant. I have a feeling that there might be another fierce battle coming.”

After Su Chengyu spoke, his gaze swept over everyone, while Bai Qiu continued to ask.

“Is it difficult to deal with?”

Su Chengyu shook his head and didn’t speak. It was just a feeling, and he didn’t know what he would have to face next. Moreover, what troubled him the most was that he currently had almost no fighting power.

Understanding this, Bai Qiu turned her head to look at Long Ao Tian beside her.

Long Ao Tian, looking bewildered, said, “Why is everyone looking at me? In that battle outside, I exerted the most effort and consumed the most. If it’s someone’s turn, it should be you two now.”

Indeed, as Long Ao Tian said, he had broken through to become a Demon Emperor, using the power of heaven and earth to break through the Elder of the Luo Clan’s great formation, and had indeed consumed the most.

However, Bai Qiu’s eyes clearly did not mean this; she only wanted to know how much vital force Long Ao Tian had left at that moment.

“The three of us working together can hold them off for a while.”

Ling Xiao bluntly pointed out Bai Qiu’s intention.

It was only then that Long Ao Tian reacted, patting his chest and saying, “Of course, that won’t be a problem, after all, I’m a man; how could I fall before you two.”

Ling Xiao rolled her eyes at Long Ao Tian, whose attitude had changed completely, but she knew that even if Long Ao Tian currently had no consumption, he couldn’t hold Jiang Mo back alone.

“That’s good, Luo Changping still has fighting strength, and they won’t act recklessly in a short time. With these Ancient Exotic Beasts you’ve allied with, if a fight breaks out, we have a thirty percent chance of winning.”

“Only thirty percent?”

Long Ao Tian couldn’t help but exclaim, then was immediately silenced by a look from Bai Qiu.

But with the Five-Color Divine Light from the Heaven-Mending Stone creating a barrier, Su Chengyu was certain that they couldn’t detect exactly what they were discussing and didn’t mind continuing.

“This is already the best outcome. Since we haven’t considered what hidden cards Han Xiaotian might have, nor considered any additional complications that might arise. However, there’s one thing I really can’t turn a blind eye to.”

“What’s the matter?”

Bai Qiu asked in confusion, not understanding what Su Chengyu was worried about at that moment due to her lack of intelligence information.

“Luo Tiansheng left very decisively, even leaving me sidelined. The method I thought of to break the Blood Covenant, he must also be aware of, and it seems unlikely that Xu Nanzhi can forcefully interrupt the great formation.”

“You mean Xu Nanzhi can’t do it.”

“Yes, earlier I had no choice and could only take this risky move in that situation, but now that I think it through calmly, I’m afraid the likelihood of this result is high.”

Even if he didn’t want to accept this harsh reality, Su Chengyu had to admit that what Luo Tiansheng left him was likely a dead end.

“But it’s okay. If one person can’t do it, aren’t we out here? If things go wrong, I’ll find a way to coordinate with Nanzhi from inside and outside, trying my best to create the best opportunity. If worst comes to worst…”

Su Chengyu didn’t continue speaking. If it really came to that, he could only risk Xu Nanzhi’s life to break through the great formation first.

He knew that only by taking action himself would there be any chance of preserving Xu Nanzhi’s life.

“What a mess! Clearly, it was the people you brought who held back that Earth Immortal of the Luo Clan. Why are these people acting as if they own the place? What bad luck!”

Long Ao Tian spoke up for Su Chengyu, disgruntled.

Su Chengyu glanced at him and said, “After all, our goals are different. What they want is the demise of the Luo Clan. Achieving this goal might not require an Earth Immortal to act. Even if they fail, significantly weakening the Luo Clan’s vitality would still be a good thing for Xia Country. Apart from Han Xiaori, the other people here are probably regarded as disposable pawns, even… even Han Xiaori himself.”

Ling Xiao, surprised by this, said, “Aren’t your mortal emperors a bit too ruthless?”

“Ruthless? He could discard an Earth Immortal who established founding merits for Xia Country at will. What wouldn’t he do?”

Su Chengyu sneered, for now he was certain that even if Zhao Xuanzhen didn’t personally intervene in the murder of his grandfather back then, he must have known everything and chose to stand by.

“Well, that’s not necessarily true. This guy has a special aura on him, hidden very deeply. Although I’m not sure what it is, if the effect corresponds, in the worst case scenario, it might be possible to escape alive from the hands of an Earth Immortal.”

The voice of the Heaven-Mending Stone appeared in Su Chengyu’s Sea of Consciousness, clearly weak, showing that the Heaven-Mending Stone’s current condition wasn’t much better than Su Chengyu’s.

“Alright, Little Shi, you rest first. Leave the rest to me. I won’t wake you unless absolutely necessary.”

“Stop it. Is there even a scenario where you’re not in an absolute emergency right now? But I really need to rest for a while. Don’t bother me for small things. That situation outside consumed quite a bit, and I can’t offer you much help at the moment.”

“Outside? Yan’er?”

Hearing the mention of the situation outside from the Heaven-Mending Stone, Su Chengyu immediately understood that it referred to the efficacy of the trace left on Yu Yanshu.

To reassure Su Chengyu, the Heaven-Mending Stone said one last thing before descending into slumber.

“Rest assured, this girl hasn’t disappointed you. She isn’t in danger and seems to plan on leaving the Luo Clan’s Blessed Realm ahead of time.”

Hearing this, part of the weight in Su Chengyu’s heart eased.

With Yu Yanshu leaving earlier, he still felt some worry, but the situation in the Luo Clan’s Blessed Realm was too complicated at the moment.

An unusually-identified Yu Yanshu indeed shouldn’t be kept there to avoid further complications.

“This is the best outcome.”

The unexpected words drew everyone’s attention to Su Chengyu.

But Su Chengyu just shook his head, signaling that he was fine, and the others didn’t ask further questions.

“Ao Tian’s protection matters will still trouble you, Miss Ling Xiao…”

“Don’t worry, I may not be able to help much, but guiding you in using the Phoenix Nirvana in the Phoenix Divine Art is possible. However, how much you recover will depend on yourself.”

Ling Xiao, guessing what Su Chengyu was about to say, directly picked up the conversation. After finishing, she looked seriously at Su Chengyu.

“Though I haven’t recognized you like these two do, at this moment, we really are grasshoppers tied to the same rope, comrades. So don’t be so polite to me.”

“Th… okay.”

Su Chengyu, instinctively wanting to express his gratitude, changed his words at the last moment.

He could tell that someone like Ling Xiao, who had a straightforward nature, would only become more distant with too much circumlocution.

Finally, Su Chengyu gave a few instructions to Luo Changping, asking him to gather those former members of the Luo Clan who chose to follow Xu Nanzhi. Afterward, Su Chengyu sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began using the Phoenix Nirvana Technique to meditate and adjust.

All these actions occurred under Han Xiaotian’s watchful eye, yet he could do nothing but watch Su Chengyu complete it all methodically.

“Secret Envoy, do you need me to intervene for you?”
