Chapter 46: Jealousy Changes a Person’s Appearance

"I'm not a descendant of the Vajra Sect. I just happened to obtain some of their techniques."

Li Changsheng shook his head.

He had no intention of telling Su Qingyu about the secret realm. Given the strength of the Su family in the Southern Domain, they were no match for Elder Su or the mysterious young man.

After all, that young man had managed to save Elder Su from the hands of the Medicine King Sect's experts over a hundred years later.

"Regardless of whether you are a descendant of the Vajra Sect, you must not show any traces of their techniques in front of these two factions." Su Qingyu shook her head, frowning.

"Later, I'll take you to the Scripture Pavilion to choose a new cultivation technique."

"Don't worry. My Su family is a prominent family in the outside world. We have techniques that can take you all the way to the Mahayana stage. They won't be much worse than the Vajra Sect's techniques."

Lu He looked at Su Qingyu in disbelief.

As Su Qingyu's personal maid, she was privy to many of the Su family's internal affairs. The Su family only had two techniques that could cultivate to the Mahayana stage. How could they possibly allow an outsider to learn them?

Unless he became the Su family's son-in-law!

"Miss!"

Lu He softly reminded her, only to be glared at by Su Qingyu.

Lu He pouted in grievance, thinking:

"It's over. Miss must have been completely bewitched by this guy!"

"If it's troublesome, I can switch to another technique as well!"

Li Changsheng naturally sensed Su Qingyu's dilemma. Elder Su, who wanted to use him as a decoy, had only been willing to part with the first three transformations of the Divine Demon Nine Transformations technique and the Star Sword Technique, which could only take him to the Soul Transformation stage. This showed just how precious Mahayana-stage techniques were.

Moreover, now that he was wary of Elder Su, he naturally wouldn't go back to them for further techniques. If he could obtain a Mahayana-stage technique from the Su family, it would be the best outcome.

Half a month later, they finally arrived at the Su family's ancestral land in Nan Zhao State.

"The young miss is back!"

"The young miss is back!"

As soon as Su Qingyu's carriage entered the ancestral land, the Su family's servants began shouting. Soon, a group of young cultivators came out to greet them.

Su Qingyu stepped down from the carriage with Li Changsheng.

Many of the young cultivators were stunned to see Li Changsheng alighting from Su Qingyu's carriage.

Su Qingyu was the object of admiration for most of the young men in the family, but her exceptional talent had always made them hesitant to approach her.

This was the first time they had seen her bring back someone of her own age.

Never before had Su Qingyu been seen getting so close to another man.

"Qingyu, who is this prodigy from?"

A young man at the peak of Foundation Establishment stepped forward, his gaze intense as he looked at Li Changsheng.

The others wore expressions of anticipation, eager to see what would unfold. Su Zhe was the grandson of the third elder and was considered the second most talented of his generation after Su Qingyu. He had always regarded Su Qingyu as his own, and anyone who dared to get too close, even within the family, would inevitably get beaten up.

Now that Su Qingyu had brought back a young man of similar age, things were about to get interesting.

Li Changsheng remained calm and indifferent, ignoring the attention.

Su Qingyu frowned slightly and said softly, "He's a guest I've recruited. Do I need to report this to you?"

"Qingyu, don't be like that." Seeing Su Qingyu slightly angered, Su Zhe didn't take offense but instead coldly stared at Li Changsheng. "The threshold for our Su family isn't that low. Not just any stray cat or dog has the right to become a guest of the Su family."

"Oh?"

Li Changsheng smiled faintly. "What level of strength is required to qualify as a guest of the Su family?"

He could sense that three Golden Core cultivators had locked their divine senses onto him. The Su family, having been established for tens of thousands of years, was indeed formidable. They had several Golden Core cultivators at their disposal, far surpassing sects like the Sunset Sect.

"You'd have to at least be able to defeat me!"

Su Zhe sneered, unleashing the full force of his peak Foundation Establishment aura. He shot forward like a bolt of lightning, his clawed hand aiming straight for Li Changsheng's head.

"Crack!"

Powerful true essence gathered in Su Zhe's hand. If an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator were hit by this strike, they would either die or be severely injured.

"Teach him a lesson, but don't kill him."

Li Changsheng heard Su Qingyu's voice in his ear:

"His grandfather is the third elder. Killing him outright would be troublesome."

Li Changsheng nodded slightly and, without dodging, extended his fair hand to meet the incoming strike.

Boom!

Their hands collided.

Su Zhe's expression changed drastically. Upon contact, he felt an immense force that nearly dislocated his wrist.

'I must cripple this guy!'

Su Zhe's heart tightened with determination.

He slapped his storage bag, and a crimson-gold sword talisman appeared in his hand. Instantly, it transformed into a golden sword beam several dozen feet long, slashing toward Li Changsheng.

"Screech!"

The golden sword beam emitted a piercing sound as it sliced through the air, carrying an unstoppable momentum toward Li Changsheng.

"Disaster!"

"Stop him!"

"Hold it!"

Several urgent cries came from the shadows.

"Li Changsheng, dodge!"

Su Qingyu also cried out in alarm. This sword talisman had been crafted by the third elder using countless precious materials. It could unleash an attack equivalent to a full-powered strike from a late-stage Golden Core cultivator.

Even Golden Core cultivators would avoid facing it head-on.

Such sword talismans were extremely difficult to refine and required incredibly rare materials. The third elder had only crafted three, one of which he had given to his grandson, Su Zhe.

No one had expected Su Zhe to use it in this situation.

"You're seeking death!"

Li Changsheng frowned slightly. Initially, he hadn't wanted to cause trouble for Su Qingyu and had only intended to make Su Zhe back off. But he wasn't someone who would let others trample all over him!

This sword talisman could kill even a Golden Core cultivator with a single strike!

Li Changsheng flicked his finger, and a white sword beam shot into the sky.

Boom!

The white sword beam collided with the golden sword talisman.

The golden sword talisman shattered into pieces, and the white sword beam also disappeared.

Su Zhe was momentarily stunned, but then he saw Li Changsheng's right hand make a grasping motion from a distance.

He felt an invisible force pull him uncontrollably toward Li Changsheng!

"Break free!"

Su Zhe's true essence surged wildly as he tried to resist the pulling force, but it was futile. He could only watch helplessly as he drew closer to Li Changsheng's right hand.

"Stop!"

"Release my grandson, or I'll kill you!"

A furious roar echoed from the Su family's ancestral land.

Li Changsheng ignored it completely, waving his right hand as if swatting a fly.

Boom!

Su Zhe's body, which had been flying toward Li Changsheng, was sent flying like a stone, crashing into a massive boulder over three thousand meters away and shattering it into pieces.

"Beast, die!!"

An elderly man with white hair and a furious expression charged out from the Su family's ancestral land. A hundred-foot-long sword beam instantly formed, slashing toward Li Changsheng!
