Chapter 140 - 140: Thief Duo
Simply put, it was a scapegoat.
Su Mingli expressed that his Su family’s “Heavenly Secrets Technique” was said to be mastered. It could look down on the river of fate and observe for 500 years before understanding the heavenly secrets.
However, his Heavenly Secrets Technique had yet to be cultivated to the Large Success realm. In addition, the Great Desolate World’s Heavenly Dao was still around, and Empress Yin was guarding it. It could be used, but the effect was slightly reduced.
Zhu Cong, on the other hand, expressed that his Thief Sect’s Heaven Mending Scripture was even more domineering and unparalleled. The transfer of karma within it was even more exquisite. When one cultivated it to great completion, one would not be affected by any tribulations and would not fear karma.
However, the Heaven Mending Scripture in his hands was actually incomplete. Only the cultivation manuals of the other eight heterodox sects that had been split back then were the true original Heaven Mending Scripture.
Back then, he had also slightly exaggerated the effect of his cultivation technique.
“It’s all your fault, old man. If you can’t watch for five hundred years and can only watch for five years, you should have said so earlier. Why didn’t you say so at that time? For your pride?”
“Hmph, aren’t you the same? Why are you bragging about karma? But in the end, you f*cking transferred karma to Zuo Lei. Why didn’t you say so earlier?”
“Nonsense. I was injured at that time. How could I have the time to tell you? If I didn’t escape earlier, I would probably have stayed in the vast Great Desolate World.”
“It’s your fault.”
“It’s your fault.”
Su Mingli and Zhu Cong looked at each other and tried to push the blame to each other at the same time. When their eyes met, they snorted at each other and turned their heads to the side.
Su Ruyu and Su Bancheng, who were sitting at the side and could not interrupt at all, looked at each other. Their mouths were slightly agape as if they wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, they suppressed their impulses. After a while.
Su Bancheng coughed and attracted the gazes of the two old fellows who were pushing the blame to each other. Only then did he say, “Father, Sect Master
Zhu, now that the matter has already happened, there’s news from the Yin World of the vast Great Desolate World. That Yin World Empress already knows about this matter. However, apart from the four of us here, no one knows Mengmeng’s background. How does that Empress know?”
Su Ruyu asked worriedly, “Dad, could it be because I told Zuo Lei?”
Su Mingli shook his head and sighed. “I don’t think so. Zuo Lei has already willingly chosen the path of death for Mengmeng.”
The image of how Zuo Lei had chosen to destroy her for Mengmeng’s sake after finding out the truth appeared in her mind. A hint of heartache and guilt flashed across her eyes, but she quickly calmed herself down and said in confusion, “But if it wasn’t for Zuo Lei, how could this matter have been leaked?”
Zhu Cong, who was sitting at the side, rolled his eyes.
Su Bancheng noticed. “Sect Master Zhu, you know?”
“Huh.”
Zhu Cong sneered and looked at Su Bancheng. “Now that the heavenly secrets are in chaos, how powerful can your heavenly secrets technique be?”
When Su Bancheng heard this question that did not seem to be related to the current situation, he was stunned for a moment before saying honestly, “At the beginning of the chaos of the heavenly secrets, I could not see any river of time, but now, if I activate it with all my might, I can see some of it.”
Now that the Great Desolate World’s Heavenly Dao was trying to enter the ownerless Heavenly Dao of the Federation, it was in chaos with the heavenly secrets.
However, such a situation would not last until the Heavenly Dao of the vast Great Desolate World completely took over.
It was like eating.
Even a person who had been starved for ten days and ten nights might eat heartily at first when they saw a sumptuous dinner, but as time passed, he would inevitably have the illusion that he was full. He would stop, drink some water, or rest.
The chaos of the heavenly secrets was like this.
Even if things were chaotic, they would still disappear for a short period of time. This pattern seemed to be fickle, but to the Su family, who specialized in the Heavenly Secrets Technique, as time passed, they would still discover a certain pattern and think of a way to grasp this gap.
Even so, Su Bancheng, who was known as the divine master of the Heavenly Secrets Technique, was only able to activate the third level of the Heavenly
Secrets Technique. The effect was severely reduced.
“But Su Meng doesn’t seem to be affected at all.”
After Su Bancheng finished speaking, Zhu Cong said as such. Then, he looked at Su Bancheng and said, “This morning, when we first met, your niece, who had just entered the Dao for less than a day, saw my identity.”
When Su Ruyu heard this, she hurriedly looked at Su Bancheng.
“Big Brother?”
“Yes, it is.”
Su Bancheng was stunned for a moment before he nodded. “I discovered this problem this morning after Mengmeng entered the Dao. An Ya was there too.”
Su Mingli frowned. “Team Leader An is here too?”
Su Bancheng looked at his father. “Team Leader An didn’t know about this. However, she did suspect that Su Meng would ignore the heavenly secrets because she wasn’t from this world. I brushed her off.’
Su Ruyu hurriedly said, “So, it’s because Mengmeng is not from this world and ignores the chaos of the heavenly secrets?”
Su Mingli lowered his head and pondered. “In that case…”
At this moment.
Zhu Cong spoke once more. “Old fellow, have you forgotten that we stole that Vitality Paramita Flower from somewhere in the Yin World?”
Su Mingli came back to his senses and looked at Zhu Cong.
Zhu Cong shook his head and said, “From the empress’s study, that Vitality Flower Flower is the reason why Mengmeng can ignore the chaos of the heavenly secrets.”
With that,
Zhu Cong shook his head again and looked at Su Mingli speechlessly. “At that time, I told you to find any flower of vitality. In the end, you stole the flower in the empress’s study. How could that spider lily be an ordinary spider lily in the empress’s study? Now, I finally understand why the dao injury I suffered at that time was so serious.’
Su Mingli frowned and did not speak.
Su Bancheng and Su Ruyu looked at each other again with confused expressions.
In fact, the siblings could not be considered to be involved in that incident back then. At most, they could only be considered half a party. After all, only Su Mingli and Zhu Cong were in the underworld back then.
They did not know what the two of them had discovered in the Yin World back then. They only knew that after the two of them returned from the Yin World, they looked flustered and kept urging them to leave.
“Father…”
Su Bancheng’s thoughts spun as he looked at Su Mingli and asked in confusion, “Back then, what did the two of you do in the Yin World?”
Su Mingli raised her head and looked at her son.
Zhu Cong waved his hand.
“Actually, it’s nothing much. It’s just that after we entered the underworld, we originally wanted to pick a spider lily that bloomed in the River Styx. However, on the way to the River Styx, your father saw the spider lily in the empress’s study that was ten thousand times better looking than the outside, so he took that spider lily. When the ghost general Xiong Jian, who had accepted our bribe, saw this, his expression changed drastically. He asked your father to put it down, but your father grabbed it and ran.”
“I had no choice but to run along. After all, I’m timid.”
“Ghost General Xiong Jian saw us run away and completely panicked. He chased after us.
“He said that we can’t take this spider lily. This was spent by the right guard captain who was beaten up by the Holy Maiden of the Holy Sect in order to protect the Yin World back then. We can’t take it.”
“It would have been better if Xiong Jian hadn’t said anything. I originally asked your father to return the flowers, but when your father heard this, he ran even more happily.” “And the time had come.”
“Can’t be helped.”
“Your father’s in charge of stopping the male Jane. I’ll start casting the spell.”
“You know the rest of the story.”
“Your father’s Realm decrease was caused by Xiong Jian.”
“I, on the other hand, suffered a Dao injury and had no choice but to persevere and commit a theft every day to barely maintain my life force.”
Zhu Cong’s tone was very casual. When he told this story, it was as if he and Su Mingli had gone shopping somewhere and met someone.
His tone was as calm as water.
However, Su Bancheng was shocked when he heard this. Then, even the way he looked at Su Mingli became more and more strange.
“Fatner.’
“Shoot.”
“When I get married in the future, can you also go to the empress’s study to help me get a bouquet of spider lilies?”
“Piss off!”
Su Mingli said bluntly. Then, he looked at Zhu Cong’s small eyes and took a deep breath. He shook his head and sighed. “At that time, I was also in a daze. However, you can’t blame me. Old Zhu, have you forgotten what that guy said when we bribed that ghost general Xiong Jian?”
Zhu Cong suddenly rolled his eyes, “He was just being polite. He said that the spider lily you like can be taken as you please. After all, we’re customers. This guy has been taking advantage of the fact that the empress is not at home to do such a transaction with the transcendent world of the Great Desolate World. He’s particular about making the guests feel at home. You’re good, you even took it seriously. Moreover, he said the spider lily beside the River Styx, but he didn’t say the one in the empress’s study.”
Su Mingli shook his head and said, “At that time, we might as well have taken the spider lilies beside the River Styx. The one in the empress’s study felt inferior to those. Otherwise, Mengmeng wouldn’t have been born with an incomplete innate foundation.”
Zhu Cong shook his head speechlessly. “Didn’t you hear what Xiong Jian said? That spider lily belonged to the right guard captain of the empress. It was damaged by the Ming Cult’s Holy Maiden who caused a ruckus in the underworld. The empress probably placed it in her study to recuperate, but you snatched it away.”
As he spoke.
Zhu Cong then looked at Su Bancheng. “Alright, I roughly know why the Yin World Empress knows about this. However, don’t worry. Even if that empress finds out, she probably won’t be able to find us.”
Su Ruyu’s eyes lit up. “Really, Sect Head Zhu?”
Zhu Cong nodded and said, “Back then, I did something and let the karma thread wrap around Zuo Lei’s body. With Zuo Lei’s death, that empress can’t find any clues about us at all. As long as we don’t say anything, there won’t be a problem.”
Su Ruyu heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s great.”
Su Mingli, who was at the side, also nodded. “It’s indeed as Sect Master Zhu said. Back then, the few of us and that Ghost General Xiong Jian knew about it. However, it’s even more impossible for that guy to say it. Therefore, it shouldn’t be a big problem.”
‘Yep.’
‘We won’t say.’
Xiong Jian did not say anything.
It was not a big problem.
