Chapter 123: Chapter 123
Su Chensha, standing to the side, was also dumbfounded.
The moment he sensed that the little monk carried a fragment of Destiny, he had prepared to strike.
But he hadn’t expected…
Just a single glance from his family patriarch would terrify that seemingly arrogant and overbearing little monk into fleeing in panic.
He had actually used a Buddhist secret art to discard even his physical body, annihilate it entirely, and flee with only his soul intact.
For a moment, the scene was a bit awkward.
At this moment, Su Zheng ordered all the officials of Great Qin to withdraw and return to court.
“Your Majesty, that little monk is no simple character… he possesses an incredibly terrifying fate.”
Yu Fu’s expression was solemn.
He knew the strength of his own techniques. As a Traveler of the Daoist Sect, disciple of the Book-Reader, he had reached the third level of the Moon Grasping Realm and mastered three Dao Rhythms of the Daoist path.
Even a cultivator at the fifth Moon Grasping stage could hardly take his full-powered strike lightly.
Yet that seemingly ordinary little monk had shown astonishing “luck”— as if something in the dark was shielding him.
“Ah, that little monk carries the merit fragment of Luotian’s Destiny. Once the destiny awakens, no ordinary cultivator in the world can harm him…”
Su Chensha spoke from the side.
“So that’s it—Destiny… wait—what?! Destiny!?”
“Wasn’t Luotian’s Destiny already shattered back in the Mythical Era? And now it’s awakening again??”
“How do you know about this?!”
Yu Fu finally reacted, looking at Su Chensha with astonishment.
He saw that besides Su Zhou, the other Su Family members were also staring at this newly appointed titled member of the family with interest.
“Oh, because I am the Eye of Luotian. As for Luotian’s sins…”
Su Chensha’s tone was casual, as if just chatting with friends.
But the moment this sentence came out, Yu Fu’s expression changed dramatically.
Luotian’s Destiny—a mandate shattered in the Mythical Era, bathed in endless suffering and countless reincarnations!
By rights, it should be hated by the heavens and despised by the Dao, doomed to sink into endless cycles of death.
Yet now it had awakened. And more than that—so casually revealed?!
Shouldn’t such a secret be tightly hidden!?
At that moment, Yu Fu’s Dao heart rippled wildly.
The Daoist sect seeks transformation, yes—but not !
Luotian’s Destiny involved terrifying taboos, more ancient than the ancient, darker than the dark.
This era had no visible Emperors, no signs of the Ancients.
And Luotian’s mandate was shattered in that brilliant, resplendent Mythical Age.
If revealed, even old monsters near the end of their lifespan might make a desperate move to seize it.
It was a giant vortex of danger.
A thousand schemes rose in Yu Fu’s heart.
When he looked up again, he found that the Su family’s titled elites were still completely at ease, chatting casually. Get full chapters from nοvelfire.net
“So Brother Chensha is Destiny incarnate, huh?”
“Hahaha! All those folk tales saying ‘Destiny lies with me,’ and now it’s real—Destiny actually lies with the Su Family!”
“Brother, all of you carry fragments of Destiny—then surely you’re destined to clash with each other.”
“That little monk came from the Western Buddhist Kingdom. Someday I shall flatten their land. You and I are aligned in this.”
“Destiny… sounds dangerous.”
Someone quietly stepped behind the group and began forming multiple hand seals.
Seeing the relaxed looks of the Su Family’s elites, Yu Fu felt a little dazed.
Every single one of these youths gave him a sense of overwhelming threat.
They walked beside the Dao, reopened the Emperor’s path, bore Destiny, were natural-born Swordmasters, untouched by time…
Each of them carried a fortune enough to shake the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
He didn’t believe for a moment that they didn’t understand how terrifying the word “Destiny” truly was.
Then why were they so indifferent—even lighthearted about it?
Yu Fu did not understand. But as his eyes swept over a towering figure— he froze.
At that moment, he suddenly recalled: That little monk who claimed “only Destiny can harm me” had been terrified into fleeing his body—just by a single look from that man.
Who is this person really!?
Su Zhou wore the Su family’s robes, his face like carved jade, long black hair dancing behind him.
His phoenix eyes seemed to contain the fall of all beings.
Numerous Daos and Laws were manifesting on his body.
Even just looking at him, Yu Fu felt his own soul start to tremble.
“Just what kind of existence is the Su Family Patriarch…?”
As a Daoist, Yu Fu’s instincts kicked in.
When uncertain—cast a divination!
He didn’t hesitate. Using his heart-bound copper coin, he cast the hexagram within.
And then—Yu Fu’s pupils shrank sharply.
When he looked again at Su Zhou, his eyes were filled with dread.
And when he saw the faint, teasing smile on Su Zhou’s lips, he shuddered, bowing deeply again and again in terror.
“This humble Daoist was out of line—may the Patriarch not take offense!”
This proud Daoist emissary—one of the most exalted identities in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths—now appeared utterly flustered.
Even the others looked over in surprise.
“No matter.” Su Zhou said indifferently.
“Young Daoist, I’ll tell you only once: Curiosity killed the cat.”
“And it could also send a Daoist Traveler like you… into eternal damnation.”
Yu Fu couldn’t stop the shiver that ran through his body.
“I shall remember your words.”
“The family has much to handle. I’ll take my leave.”
Su Zhou gave Yu Fu a meaningful glance—one filled with mischief.
Then his figure faded and disappeared.
Leaving only the Su Family’s other titled members behind.
“Respectfully sending off the Patriarch!”
“Respectfully sending off the Patriarch!”
Everyone bowed respectfully. Afterward, they began chatting again.
Only now did Yu Fu ask: “Your Majesty, what plans do you have for the future?”
“War to feed war,” Su Zheng’s voice rang with steely resolve.
“I’ve lingered in the Tiandu Domain long enough. Now it’s time for all the heavens to hear the thunder of Great Qin’s iron cavalry!”
“If it’s conquest you seek, I suggest targeting Luochen, Tianhuo, and Nandou—these three domains.”
“They’re resource-rich and highly advantageous to the empire’s expansion.”
Yu Fu waved his hand, conjuring a map in midair, highlighting the three territories.
Su Yan exclaimed lightly at the name.
“Oh? What is it, Cousin Su Yan? You have history with the Tianhuo Domain?”
Su Zheng looked over.
Su Yan finally replied, “Not history—enmity… In that case…”
He proceeded to recount the matter regarding the Wang family of Tianhuo.
After listening, everyone fell silent for a few breaths.
Then, one by one, their eyes turned cold and murderous.
The Su Family was fiercely protective of their own—this trait had been passed down since Su Zhou’s time.
The blood of the Su Family was nobler than that of others.
Even the Su Family’s dogs were fit to stand shoulder to shoulder with the holy sons of other families!
Having heard what the Tianhuo Wang family had done—how could they not be furious!?
“What does the Patriarch say!?”
Su Yang stepped forward, a three-foot longsword already unsheathed in his hand.
“I ask that the Patriarch not act—he nurtured us so we could share his burdens! How can we ask him to do everything personally?”
“Well said! The Tianhuo Wang Family… heh. Since we were titled as the Sequence, we’ve yet to accomplish anything grand…”
“Perhaps it’s time the heavens knew just what the Su Family’s Titled Sequence is capable of…”
The few of them exchanged glances.
In each other’s eyes, they saw the same resolve.
In the Su Family, when one prospers—all prosper. When one suffers—all suffer!
At that moment, all eyes fell on the long-silent Su Changsheng.
“Brother Changsheng, you’re not going to just ignore me, right?”
Su Yan looked at him with a bright smile.
The others also kept their gaze fixed on him.
“Don’t look at me like that! Risking my life? No way!”
“But… I can contribute a thousand or so puppets…”
At that, everyone’s lips twitched uncontrollably.
Heh—other people’s puppets were just puppets.
But Su Changsheng’s puppets? Were they really just puppets?
Who else could deploy a thousand puppet soldiers, each matching the power of his own body?!
This silent first-ranked Su Family sequence member… is clearly the deadliest one of all!
“Good! Then it’s decided!”
“We march on Tianhuo!”
“I want the banners of Great Qin to cover all of Tianhuo within three years!”
“I want to see what kind of thing this so-called Wang Family, ruler of two domains, really is—how dare they touch someone from my Su Family!!”
