Chapter 131: Su Wuhui Is Shocked
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
At the same time.
In a secret chamber engraved with various formations in the Su family’s residence.
Mist swirled around.
A holy aura filled the secret chamber, within which divine radiance flickered, exuding a sense of sanct.i.ty that surged and flowed.
In the center of the secret chamber stood a bronze cauldron that was three meters tall.
The milky white liquid flowed out of the bronze cauldron, crystal clear and exuding dense spiritual energy.
A small figure was lying inside the cauldron.
He looked like he was about three or four years old, lying quietly in the cauldron without moving. His small face was ghastly pale, seemingly having already lost his life, without a hint of vitality in his body.
At this moment, a palm rested on each of his slender white arms.
These two were none other than Su Chen’s parents!
They had been in this posture for more than a month. Every day, they kept sending spiritual power into the child’s body to sustain his life.
If either one of them were to let go, this child would definitely die in less than a minute.
“Alas…”
A soft sigh sounded.
Su Wuhui opened his eyes. His originally bright and lively eyes had now dimmed. A few strands of white hair had grown out at his temples.
He looked at his wife gently. After a moment of silence, he said, “It’s already been over a month. There’s no way to turn things around even if we keep dragging this out…”
As the head of the Su family, Su Wuhui valued promises.
But at the same time, he knew to act within his capabilities.
Things had reached this point – they’d done all they could, and even what they shouldn’t have done.
However, that couple was still nowhere to be seen.
They couldn’t possibly sacrifice their own lives for this child who bore no blood relation to them.
Hearing this, Qin Wanrong gritted her teeth and said, “Three more days! If they don’t come in three days, then we’ll give up!”
She was originally a member of the Qin family.
However, the Qin family she hailed from had already declined.
She liked this child of the same family very much from the bottom of her heart.
If it wasn’t the final moment, she truly didn’t want to give up.
Besides, she didn’t think that that couple was lying to them.
As a mother, she could clearly feel the love that the couple had for their child.
“Alright.”
When Su Wuhui heard this, he helplessly nodded. He looked at the small body in the bronze cauldron and said, “The marrow in this child’s body has already been sucked dry. The blood in his body can’t circulate at all, and he is unable to regenerate new blood… If we want to save him, we need at least a hundred-thousand-year-old saint-level spiritual herb or the blood of a Great Emperor Realm expert. These two items are both extremely precious and not something that ordinary people can find. You have to be mentally prepared.”
“Hmm, 1 understand.”
Qin Wanrong nodded gently when hearing this. She looked lovingly at the child in the bronze cauldron, her eyes filled with gentleness.
“Master, Eldest Young Master has returned. He said that he wanted to see you…”
Just as Qin Wanrong finished speaking, Uncle Fu’s voice sounded outside the secret chamber.
“Hmm? Chen’er is back?”
Su Wuhui’s eyes lit up upon hearing this.
However, he soon revealed a puzzled expression.
Why would Su Chen come back at this time?
However, this wasn’t something that could be figured out in a short while.
Su Wuhui pondered for a moment, then looked at the child in the bronze cauldron and said, “Let him in.”
“Yes, Master!”
Outside the secret chamber, Uncle Fu replied respectfully.
Rumble…
Not long after, the door of the secret chamber was pushed open, and Su Chen, who was dressed in a purple robe, stepped in.
He first glanced at his parents inside, then looked deeply at the small body in the bronze cauldron. He slightly composed himself and respectfully cupped his hands.
“Greetings, Father and Mother!”
“Chen’er…”
Qin Wanrong’s face was pale. She looked at Su Chen lovingly and said softly, “1 haven’t seen you for a few months. Chen’er has grown quite a bit… You didn’t suffer any hardships at the Great Mystery Sect, did you? No one bullied you, right?”
“Mother, I’m doing very well in the Great Mystery Sect. I didn’t suffer, and no one dares to bully me!”
Su Chen replied with a smile.
Although he was answering Qin Wanrong’s question, his eyes were fixed on the small body in the bronze cauldron.
“As expected, my son. In just a few months, you have actually become a core disciple of the Great Mystery Sect… Hiss…”
Su Wuhui looked at Su Chen proudly and sent out his divine sense.
In the next moment, his expression suddenly changed. He looked at Su Chen in shock and gasped.
“The late stage of the G.o.d Altar Realm? Chen’er, you’ve already broken through to the late stage of the G.o.d Altar Realm?”
As the head of the Su family, Su Wuhui was very clear about the strength of the core disciples of the Great Mystery Sect.
Most of them were in the initial stage of the G.o.d Altar Realm.
When he saw Su Chen wearing the purple robe earlier, he thought that Su Chen had just broken through to the initial stage of the G.o.d Altar Realm by coincidence.
However, after taking a closer look, he realized that things were not what he had thought.
Su Chen’s cultivation had already reached the late stage of the G.o.d Altar Realm!
He was too shocked that even his palm which he was using to transmit spiritual power could not help but tremble slightly.
It was precisely this tremble that caused a ripple to spread through the entire bronze cauldron.
The child who had been lying quietly in the bronze cauldron suddenly let out a m.u.f.fled groan.
Given his fragile body, his pale face became paler at a speed visible to the naked eye, like a candle flame swaying in a strong wind that could be extinguished at any time.
When Qin Wanrong saw this scene, she looked at Su Wuhui accusingly.
Su Wuhui knew that he had lost his composure. He waved his hand at Su Chen and said, “Chen’er, as you can see, your mother and I still have things to do. You should go back to your room and rest.”
“This child’s injuries are extremely severe. If you continue like this, you will only consume your spiritual power and foundation for no reason. You can’t save him at all!”
However…
Su Chen did not leave. He came to the bronze cauldron and carefully sized up the child in front of him.
This child was quite young, maybe three to four years old, lying in the spirit liquid like a porcelain doll.
Strangely, Su Chen did not see any wounds on his body.
“His bones weren’t dug out?”
Su Chen muttered to himself in bewilderment.
“Alas.”
When Su Wuhui heard this, he couldn’t help but sigh. He looked at Qin Wanrong and said, “How could we not know this? But a few days ago, that couple said that they would be back in two months at most. Since we’ve promised them, we’ll naturally do our best during this period of time.”
“Haha… According to the usual script, that couple probably won’t be able to come back. They are probably practicing their side profession somewhere at the moment.”
Su Chen sneered inwardly and complained.
But outwardly, his expression was calm. He took a deep breath and said, “Father, Mother, let me try!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he cut his finger and forced out a drop of his blood essence, letting it drop into the mouth of the child lying in the spirit liquid.
“Chen’er, stop!”
When Su Wuhui saw this scene, his expression suddenly changed.
This child’s body was too fragile. He absolutely could not withstand the stimulation of masculine energy right now.
Even the slightest strand of masculine energy would be enough to kill this child!
Let alone the blood essence of an elite at the late stage of the G.o.d Altar Realm!
However…
What happened next stunned him on the spot..
