Chapter 98 Shut Up

  Yin Wind Gorge underground fire pulse, Su Che temporarily abandoned all negative emotions, wholeheartedly closed to cultivate.

  This time in seclusion, the amount of elixirs should be relatively sufficient, including more than 300 pills of the five-grade elixir, including Dilin Dan, and more than 60 pills of the six-grade elixir, including Zihuo Dan and Tenglong Dan.

  In the cave at the bottom of Hei Shi, Su Che either took two 5th-grade elixirs a day or one 6th-grade elixir a day. With the special effects of Xian Lian Warm Current and Hei Shi Clear Current added on top, even though he was already in the later stage of Qi Refining, his cultivation speed was still incredibly fast.

  Time passed day by day, and another half-year period had gone by. When Su Zhen returned to the Tian Xuan Sect once again, he had undergone a shocking transformation, reaching the 9th layer of Qi Refining.

  Because of a bad premonition about something that happened half a year ago, Su Che used a fake face and identity when returning to Xuanji Peak, until he entered the Spiritual Herb Garden, where he changed back to his true self.

  As soon as Linglong saw Su Che, her face changed greatly, but this time's shock was not because his cultivation and strength had surpassed hers, but because he was in great danger.

  "Su Che, how dare you come back?"

  Linglong came bounding over from several zhang away, grasped Su Che's arm and pressed her voice low with anxiety: "Didn't you escape? Why did you come back? Quick, quick, let's go, I'll pretend I didn't see you!"

  "Run away?" Su Che furrowed his brow and said, "What's there to run from? Why would I want to run? For the past half year, I've just been in closed-door training again. Eldest Sister, look, I'm now at the 9th layer of Qi Refining. It's precisely because I've encountered the bottleneck of the Great Circle of Qi Refining that I returned to the sect, wanting to get pointers from Elder Yu Qing."

  "Go to hell!" Linglong said with hatred: "Do you know that disaster is approaching? Think about how to die a more dignified death."

  Hate returning hate, still with a burst of energy to push him: "Go quickly, go quickly, you fool, disguise yourself and slip away quietly, it's still possible now."

  But it's too late now.

  Outside the elegant residence, a voice came from the Medicine Garden's Chen Zongguan: "Linglong Shimei, Su Che has returned, right? I've already informed Master. Master immediately replied and asked me to bring him to the Xuanji Golden Hall for questioning."

  Su Che returned, swaggering and unguarded, passing through the first layer of the medicine garden when he was spotted by Chen Zongguan. Chen Zongguan had been holding a grudge against his own nephew for falling out of favor due to Su Che's actions, how could he let go of this rare opportunity for revenge today?

  In the room, Su Che nodded and said: "Alright, go see Master, I haven't done anything wrong, what's there to be afraid of?"

  "Are you really innocent?" Linglong asked with a tilted head: "Zhenzhen Shifu of Tianwu Peak has been missing for half a year, and this matter has nothing to do with you?"

  Su Che's heart skipped a beat, thinking to himself that he had indeed been right about it, but his mouth remained calm and confident: "She's gone missing, what does it have to do with me? She's a true disciple of the Foundation Building Middle Period, what ability do I have to interfere with her whereabouts?"

  "All right, if you're not even a little bit fake in your heart, then find Master to preside over it for you." Linglong reminded at the end: "Su Che, I can tell you that Master is a person of that level, and his magical skills are profound and unpredictable. If you have any tricks in your mind, you won't be able to hide them at all."

  "No big deal, just telling the truth, no need to hide anything." Su Che's attitude was still very tough.

  "Alright then." Linglong felt slightly reassured.

  After that, Su Che followed Chen Zongguan's side, and was taken out of the Lingcao Medicine Garden, heading towards the top of Xuanyi Peak.

  Not far from walking, General Chen had not yet had time to humiliate Su Che coldly, and Yu Qing, who had just received the news, chased up behind him.

  "Su Shi-di."

  Yu Qing's tone was heavy: "I'm only asking you, do you need me to go find your uncle and plead on your behalf?"

  "No need, thank you, senior brother." Su Che's response was equally concise.

  "Alright then, I'll wait for your good news." Yu Qing turned and left.

  Su Che and General Chen continued along the mountain path, after a while, General Chen chuckled: "Brother Su, your Tao is very deep! First, you made my nephew disappear without a trace, and then, you also... Haha, impressive, impressive, I admire you!"

  "Is it awesome?" Su Che coldly smiled and replied through voice transmission: "It will soon be your turn."

  So as to keep his voice from being recorded and used against him.

  Director Chen's face changed, and he stared at Su Che, saying: "Su Che, if you have the guts, say it out loud!"

  "What did I say?" Su Che pretended to be confused, spreading his hands and saying: "Director Chen, Zhenzhen Shifu's junior sister I naturally know, but your nephew, I haven't seen before, nor do I know that someone with such a narrow mind like you can have a nephew. I thought all your relatives had been killed by you."

  Up until now, Su Che had long since stopped caring about his position as the general manager.

  "You..."

  Director Chen was so angry that his hair was disheveled and trembling, pointing at Su Che and saying: "Don't be stubborn, you know you're going to die soon?"

  Su Che's face revealed a cold smile, and he stopped speaking, as if too lazy to continue arguing with him. In reality, he transmitted his voice, saying: "Director Chen, stop wasting your breath here. If you have the ability, go to our master and accuse me of causing your nephew's disappearance... I ask you, do you have the guts? Are you clear about yourself?"

  Director Chen's face turned ugly and he was suddenly speechless.

  At first, he was motivated by greed and conspired with his nephew to intercept Su Che on the road, intending to obtain Su Che's spiritual grass for healing and rapid cultivation. If this matter were to be exposed, the crime of 'attempted harm to a fellow disciple' would also be unforgivable.

  As for falsely accusing Su Che, not acknowledging his own evil intentions, Chen Zongguan did not have the confidence and courage to play tricks in front of Xuanji Zunzhe. Once things started, all the ugly things he had done in this life would be exposed.

  So Su Che's guess was spot on, he really didn't dare!

  "How dare you?" Su Che transmitted his voice coldly: "If you don't have the guts, then shut your mouth! You're a shameful thing, if I were to die, I would definitely expose you."

  Director Chen was about to burst with rage, but could only shut his mouth obediently. At this moment, he really regretted it: You say, why did you provoke such a madman, even the true disciple of Tianwu Peak dared to take action, and as a small manager, what does he count for in his eyes?

  At this point, Director Chen also began to be frightened and uneasy, fearing that Su Che's evidence would be conclusive and he would be sentenced to death. At that time, he would really go mad and bite and chew randomly, exposing people like himself. Anyway, he was going to die, what else could he care about...

  It's too late for regrets, General Chen is now in a precarious situation, unable to turn back, and can only follow Su Che with trepidation, slowly making his way up the mountain.

  The momentum between the two had completely reversed, and it seemed as if Su Che was escorting Chen Zongguan to the Xuanji Golden Hall for questioning.

  Mysterious Golden Temple.

  After entering, Su Che casually chose a futon to kneel down and sit, while Chen Zongguan left with a worried look on his face. His task was considered complete after bringing Su Che here, and he didn't have the qualifications to stay and listen to the outcome.

  This time, after just over a dozen breaths, the mysterious and venerable being arrived in front of Su Che.

  Still as silent and invisible as last time, he appeared in the same position, standing with his back to him, without even a glance at Su Che.

  "I have seen Master."

  Su Che bowed respectfully.

  "You've reached the 9th layer of Qi refinement, and it's been half a year since we last met. Your cultivation speed is quite impressive." As a Golden Elixir late-stage cultivator, the range of Xuanji's divine sense could cover at least 500 zhang. The observation of his divine sense was much more accurate than ordinary visual perception.

  Su Che replied in a low voice: "The last time, from Yu Qing Shixiong's understanding of the situation in Xiao Mi Xianjing, I closed my doors again and devoted myself to cultivation, hoping to reach the Dacheng realm as soon as possible, so that I can enter Xiao Mi Xianjing and retrieve treasures for Master."

  "Oh?"

  Xuanji's expression changed slightly as he immediately turned around: "So, you're willing to enter the Xiaomixian realm?"

  "Yes." Su Che replied: "My disciple is a man with deep good fortune, he will definitely be able to find the treasure and come out unscathed."

  Half a year ago, Su Che had a very bad premonition, but after all, it was just speculation and not necessarily accurate. He couldn't just flee in disarray because of one guess, becoming a fugitive for the rest of his life, without even having the courage to return to the sect and investigate. This way of handling things was absolutely not Su Che's style.

  What's more important is that Su Che has a certain degree of stubbornness in his character, and he cannot bear to become a wanted disciple of the Tian Xuan Sect because of Zhen Zhen's sake, carrying an undeserved crime on his back. His past life as a catcher made him unable to accept the outcome of carrying a crime and escaping in fear, which is even more unbearable than being killed.

  So Su Che chose to voluntarily enter the Xiao Mi Xian Jing two years later, in order to make a deal with the mysterious and powerful being, asking him to help clear his name and protect himself.

  Su Che learned from Yu Qing that the opening of the small Miao Xian Jing every 50 years was a major event in the entire Xiuzhen world, and Tianxuan Sect could only occupy ten disciples' quotas, meaning that Xuanyi Peak could only allocate one quota for entering the boundary. However, this seemingly precious quota made Xuanyi Zun extremely headache.

  The reason is that the disciples are not fools, they all know that entering the Xiaomixian realm is no different from being sentenced to death. With a survival rate of one percent, who dares to gamble with their lives?

  Inside the sect, originally only Yu Qing had reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining Realm. However, to avoid the calamity of Xiao Mi Xian, he rashly entered closed-door training without sufficient preparation and prematurely laid his foundation. The other dozen or so inner sect disciples who were at the 9th layer of Qi Refining, in order to avoid the disaster of Xiao Mi Xian, all tried their best to suppress their cultivation and absolutely did not dare to advance to the Great Perfection Realm at this critical juncture.

  For the mysterious and respected one, being the orthodox sect of the Immortal Path, he couldn't force his disciples to go to their deaths like the demonic path sects did. So, for this quota, he was also racked his brains, but still hadn't found a suitable candidate.

  So Su Che thought that this gamble he had put out would be extremely enticing to Xuan Zhen Zun.

  So, in fact, was Xuanji Zun really as easy to deal with as Su Che thought?
