Chapter 825: Chapter 278: Path of the Dao!_3
“We should go to the Sun Family, clarify the stakes, and have them persuade their own children.”
Li Xiangshang slapped his thigh: “Wonderful, this method won’t offend anyone and is very convenient. The master asked me to handle this, indeed everything in the world is a learning experience. I’ve learned something today, thank you, Brother Zheng.”
Dean Zheng, though only at Foundation Establishment cultivation, quickly clasped his hands: “I wouldn’t dare.”
The two agreed on their plan and immediately arranged a banquet, inviting the Sun Family Clan Leader to join.
The Sun Family Clan Leader, upon seeing Dean Zheng and Li Xiangshang, who is at Golden Core Level, gladly accepted the invitation.
During the banquet, after understanding the situation, he immediately, fueled by alcohol, pounded his chest and promised the two: “I will definitely order Sun Tiesheng to accept this matter!”
“He’s just an illegitimate child, and to come this far, it’s all because our family has cultivated him without holding grudges!”
“If he refuses, he won’t be listed in the family genealogy and will have no memorial tablet in the ancestral hall after he dies!”
The Sun Family Clan Leader shouted at the banquet.
Upon returning to the family, he’s immediately sought out Sun Tiesheng’s father.
Sun Tiesheng’s father immediately called Sun Tiesheng back to the family land to confess his sins.
However, Sun Tiesheng stood before the clan leader and his father, displaying a demeanor unlike his usual reserved self, his face resolute, rejecting them outright.
His attitude was firm: “That’s impossible!”
“Utilizing Demon Seed for quick gains. It might indeed benefit the family, contribute to the greater good of White Paper Immortal City, but not me.”
“It would reduce my future potential. I would rather give up this opportunity!”
The Sun Family Clan Leader and Sun’s father were both stunned by such a rejection for the first time, feeling both angry and humiliated.
Sun’s father scolded him.
In response, Sun Tiesheng stood straight, hands behind his back, and coldly laughed: “This is a dispute over the path of cultivation, I will never compromise!”
Seeing his son’s imposing presence, Sun’s father’s scolding ceased, a bit taken aback.
The Sun Family Clan Leader, as if witnessing Sun Tiesheng for the first time, felt a bit embarrassed, and had to wave him away to leave.
Leaving him and Sun’s father in silence.
After a long while, he finally spoke: “I didn’t expect my Sun Family to produce such a gifted child!”
Blushing, he folded his hands and apologized to Sun’s father: “I was wrong about this matter, acted hastily, I hope for forgiveness.”
Sun’s father quickly waved it off: “To be honest, it’s the first time I’ve seen that child’s true nature.”
The Sun Family Clan Leader praised: “His true nature is excellent!”
“In this generation of the Sun Family, only he has such resolve.”
“In the future, the pivotal figure of the Sun Family will be none other than him.”
Sun’s father humbly claimed that the clan leader overvalued his son.
The Sun Family Clan Leader strategized: “According to the current trend, with Chen Sui and Shen Bing both dead, Tiesheng has no rivals at the Yang Enhancement Institute.”
“Even if Li Xiangshang wants to give it to someone else, who can receive the Golden Nest Demon Seed?”
“There’s no one else.”
“This gives us room for strategy and negotiation.”
“Honestly, I also don’t want my Sun Family’s future key figure to be half-human half-demon!”
Netherworld.
Water Burial Valley.
Sun Lingtong and a team of Cow Cavalry arrived nearby, suddenly surrounded by an ambush.
“Capture these suspicious people!” the ambush leader ordered loudly.
Sun Lingtong was shocked; these people had entrenched themselves so deeply he hadn’t noticed. By the time he realized, it was too late.
In his urgent situation, Sun Lingtong shouted in question: “Who are you? How dare you ambush me!?”
The ambush leader coldly laughed: “Asking us? The answer will scare you to death! We are the personal soldiers of Lord of Wangchuan. Our master has issued strict orders, no one is allowed near Water Burial Valley!”
“Anyone who dares approach Grey Bone Elder will be captured!!”
Wangchuan Immortal City.
The Lord of Wangchuan sat cross-legged, staring at the Heavenly Ghost’s skull before him, with a deep gaze.
A hundred-year plan reaches fruition today.
All unfavorable changes must be eliminated at the embryonic stage.
Sending troops to surround Water Burial Valley and isolate Grey Bone Elder is part of these preparations.
Because Grey Bone Elder knows the inside story.
Even if this move offends the Divination Cultivator, the Lord of Wangchuan will not hesitate.
“After all, this is the path of my cultivation.”
