Chapter 977 The Mother of Su Ning
The servants of the Provincial Capital Su family were ordinary people and naturally could not withstand the immense pressure. Thus, Jiang Biyun and the others left the villa and moved out of the old residence.
"Miss Su, you should also move to the old residence. We'll watch over this place," said Master Bai, looking at the pale-faced Su Yunxi.
Su Yunxi was merely a frail woman, and her perseverance under such immense pressure was truly commendable.
Su Yunxi insisted, shaking her head, "I want to wait for Chen Xuan to come out."
"Alright..." Master Bai had no choice but to nod, but he exuded a powerful aura, helping Su Yunxi reduce the pressure.
On the seventh day, the powerful aura grew exponentially. Any martial artist below the fifth-rank Inner Strength Grandmaster cultivation, upon approaching the Provincial Capital Su family villa, would spit blood!
Helpless, the Bai family, Murong family, and Gao family conferred and decided to withdraw all martial artists below the fifth-rank Inner Strength Grandmaster cultivation a kilometer away, standing by in full battle array.
Meanwhile, Su Yunxi continued to persevere. However, with the assistance of Bai Wushen, Gui Lao, Gao Guoqing, and others taking turns to alleviate the pressure on Su Yunxi, she could still hold on. Yet, Su Yunxi was also bearing immense pressure.
In the morning, she went to wash up, her face turning pale, and she couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
She quickly wiped her mouth with her hand, cleaning the bloodstains thoroughly to prevent anyone from discovering it.
"Seven days have passed. Mr. Chen should be coming out of seclusion soon!"
Today, it was the Murong family's turn on duty. Old Master Murong, Xue Lao, and Gu Lao stood in the courtyard, gazing at the room in the middle of the second floor, sighing deeply.
In their eyes, there was admiration, exclamation, and a deep sense of anticipation.
To refine a furnace of pills could emit such a powerful force. How much pressure must Chen Xuan, who was at the core of the pill furnace, be enduring?
How powerful must Chen Xuan be?
It was important to note that they had never even set foot on the second floor from beginning to end.
On one hand, they were afraid of disturbing Chen Xuan. On the other hand, the pressure on the second floor had become monstrously strong by the seventh day. Even Old Master Murong, a seasoned Inner Strength Grandmaster, dared not approach easily.
Early in the morning, an armored vehicle with a Kyoto license plate slowly drove into the provincial capital, traveling on the ring road.
"Madam, it's just a small matter. Can't I personally come to Jiangnan Province to deal with that brat? Why must you make the trip yourself? It's quite a distance from Kyoto to Jiangnan Province, and it's a tiring journey."
In the co-pilot's seat sat a middle-aged man with a square face. His black hair was shiny, but his sword-like eyebrows were as white as snowflakes.
His name was Wu Daozi, an old servant of the Kyoto Su family, and a genuine Martial Dao Venerable!
Despite being a Martial Dao Venerable, he looked at the back seat with great reverence.
In the back seat sat a charming woman.
Although this woman was approaching fifty, she looked no older than thirty.
She wore an elegant long dress, her hair was styled high, her neck was snow-white, and she exuded a powerful aura of a superior without even needing to be angry.
She spoke with a thick Kyoto accent:
"That live-in son-in-law of the Provincial Capital Su family has become something. He's arrogant and has no respect for elders. If I don't go myself, how can he be willing to submit? You could easily kill him, but if word got out, Ning'er's reputation would be ruined. How would he have the face to return to Kyoto?"
"In the Kyoto Su family, where reputation is highly valued, how could he still inherit the position?"
"Madam's teachings are correct!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Daozi quickly replied.
Indeed, in a noble family like the Kyoto Su family, reputation was paramount. If their reputation were lost, how could they possibly inherit the position?
Therefore, Su Ning's mother coming in person with her entourage was the most reliable method.
Mentioning the live-in son-in-law of the Provincial Capital Su family, Wu Daozi showed a hint of interest.
How could a peer who lived in the countryside make this charming woman condescend to appear personally?
The car sped on, the scenery on both sides blurring past...
Provincial Capital Su Family Villa.
"The aura is gone! Quickly, look, the aura is gone!"
Suddenly, Gu Lao exclaimed in surprise.
Master Murong and Xue Lao beside him also couldn't help but shrink their pupils. A moment later, "The aura is indeed gone!"
Master Murong nodded, "It seems Mr. Chen is about to come out of seclusion!"
Everyone was slightly stunned, then became excited.
Gu Lao stepped forward, but was stopped by Master Murong, "This might be Mr. Chen's most critical moment. Do not approach!"
Their guess was correct. At this moment, Chen Xuan was at the most crucial stage of refining pills!
"Ah—"
Just then, a scream rang out!
Everyone turned their heads and saw a man and a woman walking in from outside.
The man's aura was contained, while the woman, dressed in extraordinary attire, was charming and elegant. Her every move indicated that she was no ordinary person.
This man and woman were Wu Daozi and Su Ning's mother, Tian Haidan!
And at their feet lay a ground full of subordinates. It should be noted that these were all elites among the elites of the Murong family, all of them Grandmaster level Inner Strength experts, yet they were all defeated and lying on the ground.
Moreover, their limbs were all broken, and the methods used were extremely brutal.
In an instant, Old Master Murong, Xue Lao, and Gu Lao became vigilant.
These two were probably not simple!
"Are these trash perhaps the servants of the Provincial Capital Su family? They're too pathetic," Wu Daozi sneered, his face full of disdain.
Tian Haidan's lips curved into a faint smile, she said nothing.
"Who are you?"
Gu Lao's pupils contracted, and he asked coldly.
"Half-step Inner Strength Grandmaster?"
Wu Daozi glanced at Gu Lao and chuckled contemptuously, "Just this kind of garbage!"
"Hmph! You're courting death!"
Seeing that the other party did not answer and even insulted him, Gu Lao rushed forward and threw a punch!
But Wu Daozi seemed not to have seen it. He stood with his hands behind his back, a cold smile on his lips, as if he didn't take Gu Lao seriously at all.
"Stop!"
Master Murong's vision was sharp.
This fellow, who could subdue so many Inner Strength Grandmasters without them realizing it, was definitely not someone a half-step Inner Strength Grandmaster could deal with.
However, Gu Lao was enraged and had already made his move, making it impossible to retract.
"Bang!"
With a muffled thud, before Gu Lao could even react, he was sent flying by a punch, crashing heavily onto the ground with a thud.
Gu Lao spat out a mouthful of blood.
At this moment, Wu Daozi appeared before Gu Lao in the blink of an eye and kicked towards Gu Lao...
"Stop!"
Master Murong shouted.
But Wu Daozi remained unmoved, his methods still extremely brutal.
Master Murong threw a punch, and Xue Lao also delivered a kick.
The sharp attacks fully displayed their strength as Inner Strength Grandmasters!
"Inner Strength Grandmasters?"
Wu Daozi did not dare to be careless. His body flickered, and he quickly dodged their attacks.
Seeing Wu Daozi retreat, Master Murong and Xue Lao did not pursue. They quickly helped Gu Lao up and asked with concern, "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine, just a minor injury!"
Gu Lao shook his head, a trace of lingering fear still on his face.
The two breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that you're alright!"
"So there are two Inner Strength Grandmasters. I thought the Provincial Capital Su family was so pathetic. It turns out there are still people propping it up," Wu Daozi said sarcastically.
"Who gave you the guts to force your way into the Provincial Capital Su family? Get out immediately, or don't blame me for being impolite!"
Master Murong said coldly.
