Chapter 154 Li Huahun vs. Xiang Shun [Fourth Update]
```
Ancient Celestial Emperor's treasure?
Su Yi narrowed his eyes as he couldn't help but think of Immortal Emperor Peak.
The map of Immortal Emperor Peak contributed by Xiahou Jinxuan also pointed to the resting place of an Immortal Emperor, and according to ancient texts, after becoming immortal, one would be undying and indestructible. Perhaps these Immortal Emperors hadn't died but rather ascended to a higher world.
The Void Shattered Technique was not just legend in the Ancient Wilderness.
Whether one could become immortal depended on the Void Shattered Technique.
"If it's an Immortal Emperor's treasure, why don't you go get it?"
Han Yuan asked casually, which also calmed Ren Wokuang down.
Could they obtain the Immortal Emperor's treasure that even the Overlord of Western Chu couldn't acquire?
Xiang Shun took a big drink from his cup and then smiled, "Indeed, it's difficult. At the bottom of the Mandong River lies a cave, a grotto left by one of the Ancient Celestial Emperors. But inside there are powerful restrictions that not even I can break through, however..."
He halted, his gaze falling on the Xiao Bai perched on Su Yi's shoulder.
Feeling his stare, Xiao Bai shivered with an inexplicable chill and turned over, leaning against Su Yi's shoulder to continue sleeping.
"Could it be that Immortal Emperor had a connection with the Dragon Clan?"
Han Yuan wondered aloud, in this world there's no such thing as unfounded favoritism. It seems the Overlord of Western Chu had taken an interest in Xiao Bai.
If Xiang Shun knew what he was thinking, he surely would have cried foul.
He saved Su Yi, merely wishing to forge a relationship, and had the impromptu idea after seeing Xiao Bai.
"According to treasures retrieved from the grotto by the Chu people, they bear records of that Immortal Emperor's deeds. He was an Immortal Emperor of the Dragon Clan, who could be called the Dragon Emperor, with boundless divine skills and mana. Tens of thousands of years ago, he shattered the void and left the Ancient Wilderness," Xiang Shun explained, enlightening Su Yi and the others.
But...
Even if the grotto's master was the Dragon Emperor, did it necessarily mean his restriction arrays wouldn't limit descendants of the Dragon Clan?
Su Yi didn't want to risk Xiao Bai, so he asked, "How confident are you?"
"About thirty percent," Xiang Shun hesitated. Seeing that Su Yi was somewhat troubled, he smiled and added, "No worries, you can think it over. This king won't force you. Come on, let's drink!"
The civil and military officials all raised their cups, clinking glasses, and soon the matter of the Immortal Emperor's grotto was cast to the back of their minds.
But the issue had made Su Yi and the others quietly vigilant. Xiang Shun initially mentioned it was a matter of great importance, and such matters couldn't just be dropped.
After the banquet ended, Su Yi returned to his mansion with Xiao Bai to continue cultivating.
Han Yuan returned to heal his wounds, while Fang Tian Divine Fist and Ren Wokuang were invited by Xiang Shun for a hunting trip. With nothing else to do, they agreed.
The rumors about the Bailing Demon Lord were just beginning.
The Chu Empire was also mainly comprised of the Human Clan. Even though many nobles kept demons as pets, the presence of a Great Demon like the Bailing Demon Lord within the empire still worried the citizens.
They feared the troubles caused by the Bailing Demon Lord might affect the Chu Empire.
Two days later.
While Su Yi was cultivating inside his mansion, he suddenly heard footsteps behind him. His eyes snapped open, and the Zhou Wu Sword appeared in his hand as he spun around and thrust.
Clang—
The Zhou Wu Sword was caught between two fingers, and Su Yi couldn't pull it back.
Looking closely, he revealed a smile.
The visitor was none other than Li Huahun!
He was still dressed in his signature white robe, with black hair against white clothing. He looked very much like Su Yi. Since he appeared youthful, standing alongside Su Yi, they looked like brothers.
"Not bad at all, your sword speed and strength have improved considerably," Li Huahun complimented. Xiao Bai at Su Yi's waist couldn't help but glare viciously at Li Huahun, baring teeth in a low growl.
As the words fell, Li Huahun withdrew his hand and asked, "All well?"
"As destined by heaven, why would there be a problem?" Su Yi snorted. Unknowingly, he had come to regard Li Huahun as a friend.
He rarely bragged to others. It was only in the presence of those close to him that he would reveal his true nature.
Li Huahun, eyeing Xiao Bai with interest, remarked, "Such a little female dragon clinging to you like this, seems you're quite fortunate."
```
Little mother dragon?
Su Yie's expression instantly froze, and he immediately wanted to pull Xiao Bai off his waist, but Xiao Bai refused to let go at all. If Su Yie used any more force, he would inevitably hurt it.
"I don't want to!"
Xiao Bai hummed, the voice brimming with grievance, causing Li Huahun to reveal a sly smile.
Su Yie was extremely embarrassed and quickly changed the subject, "What have you been busy with recently?"
"Nothing much, just went back to cultivate for a bit, my father has been paying attention to you."
Li Huahun replied, his gaze toward Su Yie filled with peculiarity when he said this.
"Your father? Who exactly is he?"
Su Yie was stunned and asked out of curiosity.
Li Huahun's father, who was also Ren Wokuang's adoptive father, Han Yuandao, had suffered a backlash just from attempting to divine his whereabouts. It was hard to imagine just how powerful he actually was.
Li Huahun walked to a stone bench nearby, sat down, and then leisurely said, "I can't tell you who he is, but I can say one thing, he is very much looking forward to your growth and has instructed me to protect you more."
He had originally befriended Su Yie merely because of Su Yie's aura, but he hadn't expected that his father would arrange things this way.
What did this imply?
It meant that he had underestimated Su Yie's potential.
"How much stronger is he compared to the Five Emperors of the Demon Race?"
Su Yie persisted, thinking that the father who sired Li Huahun must indeed be a being of immense power in the world.
Perhaps he could even be comparable to Yue Qinglong!
"Can a grain of rice shine as brightly as the full moon?"
Li Huahun scornfully said, not wanting to dwell more on his father. Thus, he changed the subject and asked, "When are we leaving?"
Su Yie pondered and replied, "Let's wait a little longer, wait for Han Yuandao to recover from his injuries before we set off. I'll take the chance to practice and become stronger."
"Is he that weak?"
Li Huahun scoffed, his words filled with disdain.
If he knew Han Yuandao was injured because of divining his father's whereabouts, what would his reaction be?
Su Yie couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation, but he did not voice it.
The two chatted idly with each other, not going into depth.
After a while, the laughter of Xiang Shun, Ren Wokuang, and Fang Tian Divine Fist could be heard not far from the mansion.
Soon, the three arrived at the courtyard where Su Yie was.
"Big... big... big brother..."
Upon seeing Li Huahun, Ren Wokuang's body trembled with fear, stammering out a greeting with legs shaking uncontrollably.
Xiang Shun and Fang Tian Divine Fist exchanged glances, then both set their eyes on Li Huahun.
Fang Tian Divine Fist often heard Ren Wokuang mention his big brother and was surprised that his big brother was a young man.
No, that's not right!
It must be an old monster disguised as a young man!
Xiang Shun, on the other hand, had heard of Li Huahun's deeds within Emperor Su's Sect; this fellow dared to invade the Sword Sect and was not to be underestimated in terms of strength.
Li Huahun ignored Ren Wokuang and turned his gaze toward Xiang Shun, his eyes as calm as they were cold.
Feeling the gaze of Li Huahun, Xiang Shun also reined in his smile.
Within Emperor Su's Sect, Li Huahun had a title, Frenzied Warrior!
He specifically targeted those who were too arrogant!
Su Yie narrowed his eyes but did not speak.
Fang Tian Divine Fist and Xiao Bai, however, grew tense. They could both sense the tense atmosphere between Li Huahun and Xiang Shun.
"These two... I can't see through them..."
Fang Tian Divine Fist clenched his fists tightly, his complexion growing grim.
Ren Wokuang was shivering on the side, too afraid to speak.
