Su Wuchen ran to the lake. He saw Nangong Qingyun's body sinking deeper and deeper into the clear water.
Should I save her? A flicker of hesitation arose in Su Wuchen's heart.
But then he thought of what had just happened. Nangong Qingyun had helped him drive away the Golden Horn Black Wolves during her fight with that man. It was indirectly saving his life.
Therefore, whether out of compassion or a sense of gratitude, he felt he should save Nangong Qingyun.
So, he plunged headfirst into the lake.
Splash!
A spray of water erupted on the lake's surface.
Half an hour passed.
Splash!
A splash broke the surface of the lake, and a head emerged. It was Su Wuchen.
Su Wuchen was holding a woman in his arms, and it was Nangong Qingyun.
After carrying Nangong Qingyun to the shore, he finally got a clear look at her face.
She was a woman with skin as white as snow, a graceful figure, and a peerlessly beautiful face.
Besides Empress Feng Yao, this was the second time he had seen such a stunning woman.
But he couldn't stay here for long.
This woman was a Heavenly Martial Realm expert!
If she woke up and misunderstood him, thinking he was a pervert and killed him, he'd be in serious trouble.
Thinking this, he felt a moment of fear and immediately turned to leave without hesitation.
"Stop!"
But before Su Wuchen could take a few steps, a cold voice suddenly came from behind him.
When he turned around, his body stiffened.
Because at that moment, the blade of a sword was pressed against his neck, with only an inch of space between his neck and the blade.
And the person holding the sword was none other than Nangong Qingyun.
Cold sweat poured down Su Wuchen's back. He hadn't expected this woman to wake up!
Nangong Qingyun stared at Su Wuchen, her tone icy. "Who are you? What did you just do to me?"
Su Wuchen gave a sheepish smile. "Beautiful lady, I was just passing by. I saw you fall into the lake, so I pulled you out. Besides, don't misunderstand, I didn't do anything to you. Now that you're alright... I'll just be going!"
"Stop. If you move again, I'll kill you!"
Su Wuchen, about to retreat, was threatened by Nangong Qingyun's cold voice.
Su Wuchen was instantly furious. "You're a unreasonable woman! I saved you, and you're repaying me with the threat of death? Are you even human?"
Nangong Qingyun was taken aback, her voice softening slightly. "You... saved me?"
Su Wuchen looked aggrieved. "Do you see anyone else here?"
Nangong Qingyun paused, then she dropped the sword in her hand and gestured to stop him.
Boom!
A terrifying pressure erupted from her, instantly slamming Su Wuchen to the ground.
In an instant!
Su Wuchen was forced to lie on the ground, legs in the air, unable to move.
Su Wuchen looked at Nangong Qingyun with a nervous expression, "You... what do you want?"
Nangong Qingyun's mouth was dry, and her breathing became more and more rapid. She leaned down, her gaze fixed on Su Wuchen, and said, "Since you saved me, then be a good person to the end, save me one more time!"
Su Wuchen was a bit dumbfounded, "You... what do you mean?"
"Don't speak!"
Nangong Qingyun raised her right hand and slapped Su Wuchen unconscious.
After an unknown amount of time, Su Wuchen finally opened his eyes, emerging from his dazed state.
Once his consciousness was completely clear, he jumped to his feet.
He then discovered that Nangong Qingyun was gone, and he was also practically naked!
This made everything clear to him.
However, a spatial ring and a letter were left on the ground beside him.
He unfolded the letter and read Nangong Qingyun's message:
"I'm leaving. Thank you for saving me. There's a Grade 3 Blood Breaking Pill in the spatial ring. When your cultivation reaches the tenth level of the Blood Condensation Realm, it will help you easily break through to the Mortal Martial Realm. Additionally, there's a token in the spatial ring. This token is my symbol. If you're interested, you can take it to the Wind and Thunder Sword Sect and show it to them. You'll then be able to become a disciple of the Wind and Thunder Sword Sect. I'm giving you these two things as a token of my gratitude. My name is Nangong Qingyun. Farewell!"
Su Wuchen was startled after reading the message on the note.
Nangong Qingyun's cultivation was so high that she naturally saw through his.
What a woman, leaving without even saying goodbye...
Su Wuchen sighed softly.
After putting away the note, he curiously opened the spatial ring. Inside, there was indeed a Grade 3 Blood Breaking Pill and a brownish-red token. The words "Qingyun" were engraved on the token.
"The Wind and Thunder Sword Sect, one of the five strongest sects in the Tianhe Dynasty!"
Holding the token in his hand, Su Wuchen fell into thought. "That woman wants me to use this token to become a disciple of the Wind and Thunder Sword Sect. Her status within the sect must be significant! However, for now, the Wind and Thunder Sword Sect might be a good place for me to go."
Having left the Su family, he no longer had any cultivation resources.
If he wanted to reach the Heavenly Martial Realm within a year, he needed to acquire more resources.
Joining the Wind and Thunder Sword Sect seemed like a good option for gaining those resources.
However, for the time being, he needed to rapidly increase his cultivation. Only then could he be confident in killing Lu Shan!
The Grade 3 Blood Breaking Pill in his possession was perfect for helping him quickly improve his cultivation.
So, after getting dressed, he decided to find a secluded place to cultivate.
But after he left, a stunningly beautiful woman suddenly emerged from behind a large tree by the lake.
It was Nangong Qingyun!
"I never expected that after all these years of preserving my maidenhood, I'd just give my first time to a young man in such a muddle!"
Looking at Su Wuchen's departing figure, Nangong Qingyun felt inexplicably annoyed. "You brat! If it weren't for the fact that you're handsome, this Saintess would rather die than let you have your way, hmph!"
After leaving the lake, Su Wuchen found a hidden cave and began to absorb the Grade 3 Blood Breaking Pill.
An hour later.
Boom!
A surge of powerful energy erupted within his body, shaking the entire cave.
"I've finally broken through to the tenth level of the Blood Condensation Realm!" Su Wuchen stood up, his face filled with joy.
If he didn't have the Chaos Overlord Body, after breaking through to the tenth level of the Blood Condensation Realm, that Grade 3 Blood Breaking Pill could indeed help him break through to the Mortal Martial Realm.
But unfortunately, after he possessed the Chaos Overlord Body, he needed more cultivation resources than others to break through his cultivation.
So, that Grade 3 Blood Breaking Pill could only help him advance from the eighth level of the Blood Condensation Realm to the tenth level.
However.
With his current strength, he was already more than capable of dealing with Lu Shan!
"It's time to leave here," Su Wuchen said, walking out of the cave.
At this moment, night had fallen. Relying on his memory, he began to retrace his steps.
Along the way, he carefully avoided many demonic beasts, but he didn't encounter Lu Shan.
Until he walked out of the Black幽 Forest, he finally saw two familiar figures.
Lu Shan and Su Fangfang!
At this moment, the two were in tattered clothes, covered in blood, and both were injured.
Furthermore, Lu Shan had a terrifying wound on his left leg and could only walk normally with Su Fangfang's support.
The reason for this was that the two had encountered two Grade 3 demonic beasts in the Black幽 Forest.
After a fight, fortunately, the two ran fast, or they would have already lost their lives.
"Senior Brother Lu Shan, I'm sorry. If it weren't for saving me, you wouldn't have been so badly injured!" Su Fangfang pretended to be tearful.
Lu Shan looked touched and said, "Junior Sister, I'm fine. I'm willing to do anything for you!"
"Thank you, Senior Brother Lu Shan!"
Su Fangfang also pretended to be moved, then changed the subject. "Senior Brother Lu Shan, we've been searching the forest for two days and haven't seen Su Wuchen. Do you think he might have been killed by a demon beast?"
Lu Shan frowned. "I don't know, but I hope he's not dead, because I really want to kill him with my own hands! Humph!"
Su Fangfang's expression turned icy. "He killed my father and brother, and he killed so many of our Su Family experts. I want to torture him to death, grind his bones to ash!"
Lu Shan clenched his fists, then relaxed them. "However...the demon beasts in this Black幽 Forest are too powerful; we can't go any further!"
Su Fangfang fell silent. Although she hadn't seen Su Wuchen die with her own eyes, she was very unwilling. But the Black幽 Forest was indeed too dangerous.
So, she could only temporarily give up on pursuing Su Wuchen. "Alright, then let's follow Senior Brother Lu Shan's suggestion and temporarily let that damned Su Wuchen go! Let's go back to the Su Family first, and then set off for the sect tomorrow."
Lu Shan nodded slightly, then his gaze turned cold. "That kid is lucky. If he's dead, then it's a bargain for him. But if he's not dead, then when we meet again, I will definitely kill him with my own hands, humph!"
Su Fangfang also nodded slightly.
"I don't think we need to wait to meet again!"
A familiar voice suddenly rang out, causing both of them to change their expressions!
Lu Shan and Su Fangfang looked in the direction of the voice, and they saw a tall figure standing on a huge rock behind them.
"Su Wuchen!"
The two of them spoke in unison, as if they had seen the most impossible person, and their eyes immediately flashed with raging anger.
"I didn't expect you weren't dead yet!"
Su Fangfang narrowed her eyes.
Su Wuchen sneered, "Sorry to disappoint you!"
