Super Invincible Immortal Doctor - Capítulo 1756

Capítulo 1756: Chapter 1757: Life-Saving Contract

Even as a former Demon God, the Qingqiu Empress knew very well that in front of the Heaven-Mending Stone, she was nothing more than a mere junior.

Therefore, she felt quite comforted by Su Chengyu’s ability to maintain such a relationship with the Heaven-Mending Stone.

When facing the Heaven-Mending Stone herself, the Qingqiu Empress changed her usual behavior, leveling her demeanor as much as possible to converse with it.

Of course, though she lowered her stance, it wasn’t as if the Qingqiu Empress asked for an audience as she said.

In fact, to make the Heaven-Mending Stone appear, the Qingqiu Empress used the power of the Heavenly Fox Orb, which was closely linked to her.

Under the influence of the Power of the Heavenly Dao, the Qingqiu Empress was certain that even the Heaven-Mending Stone in seclusion would be affected by this power and clearly hear her voice.

Unfortunately, even so, the Heaven-Mending Stone showed no response, still revolving around Su Chengyu’s Nascent Soul, as if it didn’t want to pay any attention to the Qingqiu Empress.

The Qingqiu Empress took a deep breath. She hadn’t wanted to go this far, but the other’s indifferent attitude left her no choice.

“Senior, you may not owe me any face, but the current situation is indeed crucial for Yu Er. This favor could well ease the tense relationship between you and Yu Er.”

As the Qingqiu Empress finished speaking, the Heaven-Mending Stone, which was circling Su Chengyu’s Nascent Soul, finally stopped, but the voice that sounded the next moment was still somewhat annoyed.

“Oh? Are you threatening me?”

Even knowing the other was once the Demon God of this realm, and a blood-related relative of Su Chengyu, the Heaven-Mending Stone still showed no cordiality towards the Qingqiu Empress.

However, the Qingqiu Empress was not surprised, and simply spoke calmly.

“It’s not a threat, it’s a transaction.”

“Nice words, but isn’t it still about using me?”

“I wouldn’t call it ‘using,’ Senior. You should know, I just wish to learn about some of Yu Er’s experiences from you. And a few words from you could greatly ease your relationship with Yu Er.”

The Qingqiu Empress spoke bluntly, knowing that in front of such a high existence, excess schemes were meaningless.

If not for the Qingqiu Empress being very sure that the Heaven-Mending Stone had already taken an interest in Su Chengyu, she wouldn’t dare speak such words.

“What do you want to know? Speak.”

In the end, the Heaven-Mending Stone relented.

It knew clearly that despite the position issues, Su Chengyu had already eased the conflict with it.

But those trivial helps were not enough to offset the Heaven-Mending Stone’s encouragement of Yu Yanshu to act as a near-death scapegoat, and some things it couldn’t directly say to Su Chengyu—so it could only compromise by accepting the Qingqiu Empress’s proposal.

“Senior, I wish to know if Yu Er currently still holds any people of the Luo Clan.”

“People of the Luo Clan?”

The Heaven-Mending Stone thought for a moment, then said to itself, “He did capture a few along the way, but that Luo Nanping was released not long ago, other people of the Luo Clan… Hmm? Seems there really is one.”

“As expected.”

A sharp light flashed in the Qingqiu Empress’s eyes, instantly connecting all the clues.

Xu Nanzhi, beside her, was utterly surprised and looked at the Qingqiu Empress, saying, “How did you know?”

“Although Yu Er didn’t say it just now, his hesitant expression clearly indicated he’d thought of something. When asked if someone else could substitute, I guessed Yu Er might have someone for exchange, though that person is probably innocent.”

“Yes, a child born in Luoshui Village, indeed some Luo Clan blood in him. Speaking of that fellow, it should be the girl from that side who saved him.”

Xu Nanzhi froze upon hearing this, memories surfacing in her mind, quickly recalling something.

“That child named Luo An.”

“Yes, that’s him. If I remember correctly. After Su Chengyu met him, he took him into the Dragon Slayer Sword’s space, intending to leave with him.”

Xu Nanzhi instantly realized upon hearing this, quietly saying, “It’s because of me.”

Back then, Xu Nanzhi, on an impulse of kindness, saved Luo An, a boy meant for sacrifice, advising He Yao, who guarded Luoshui Village, to take good care of him.

Of course, this stemmed from Xu Nanzhi’s guilt, knowing that during her ignorance, the Luo Clan had evidently used countless lives to purify the Divine Soul and Divine Bone within her.

All this, though rejected by means once her memory returned, left an indelible guilt within her.

And all that guilt was pinned on Luo An.

“For my sake, Chengyu took the boy, intending to remove him from that Luo Clan breeding ground in Luoshui Village.”

The Qingqiu Empress quickly understood the connection, calmly saying, “No wonder Yu Er was so conflicted, unwilling to use this child as a sacrifice even in the current situation.”

“I don’t want that either!”

Xu Nanzhi spoke firmly, “I’ve already wronged those common people of Luoshui Village. Now to exchange a child’s life for mine, Su Chengyu cannot do it, and I even less so…”

“Shut up, do you have the luxury to choose here?”

The Qingqiu Empress directly interrupted Xu Nanzhi’s decision with a word.

Just as Xu Nanzhi wanted to speak again, the Qingqiu Empress continued, “If you truly don’t want that child to sacrifice for you, then pull yourself out of the Great Formation!”

“I…”

Xu Nanzhi was at a loss for words, having longed to do so.

Upon sensing changes in the Great Formation and realizing Su Chengyu had arrived outside to buy her time, Xu Nanzhi tried her utmost to break free from it.

But even expending all her strength, Xu Nanzhi failed to achieve this; now she had no way of just leaving the Great Formation.

“If it comes to that, I’d rather die here!”

Xu Nanzhi spoke decisively, standing with resolve, but just as she rose, an immense power instantly bound her in place.

Creamy white specks of light formed new shackles, layering over Xu Nanzhi’s original chains, preventing her from ending her Divine Soul and further restricting her movements entirely.

The Heaven-Mending Stone watched this unfold with interest, saying, “Oh? The power of the Hongmeng Heavenly Book, interesting. You infused your entire Divine Soul into that Hongmeng Heavenly Book?”

The Qingqiu Empress calmly replied, “It wasn’t my power alone. It was the work of successive generations of my Qingqiu Fox Clan ancestors that allowed me to do this.”

“How it was done doesn’t matter, only that it was done. To touch the Heavenly Book with mortal strength—those who achieved this invariably became Supreme Immortal Emperors. Alas, the position of Supreme Immortal Emperor is now filled, leaving you without a chance.”
