CHAPTER 383
Irreconcilable
============================================================
Ye Qinghan pondered briefly. It seemed inappropriate to disturb Lord Gu Ai, and Amber appeared to be swamped with work…
"Are Master Gu Ai and Amber busy?"
"Hmm… Master Gu Ai and Amber's work involves highly classified matters. Even Hua Gou isn't entirely clear on the details…"
"Ah~ I was thinking of bringing two junior sisters to visit the mansion. Would that disturb Master's Wife and Amber?"
Hua Gou had a delicate, clean-cut appearance—not exactly stunning, but certainly not unattractive!
But upon hearing the word "play," she was startled, her face filled with confusion. What could possibly be fun about the mansion?
"Of course not! I'll go inform Lady Amber right away. The young mistress bringing two young ladies to visit will surely delight both Lady Gu'ai and Lady Amber."
"Hmm… Then we'll trouble Sister Hua."
While the Ye Qinghan sisters planned their outing, over at the Four Waters Pavilion, the atmosphere resembled that of Mount Liang during the Water Margin era. The original owner had fired an arrow piercing the clouds, summoning a band of heroes from who knows where, now preparing to jointly attack Su City.
"Master Cheng, no offense, but I hear that bastard nearly wiped out your entire Heavenly Dao Pavilion. And judging by your demeanor, you don't seem too upset about it?"
Cheng Liang slammed his fist on the table, grinding his teeth in fury. "If it were nothing, I wouldn't be sitting here!"
The assembled sect masters and clan heads began discussing strategies to deal with Su Cheng.
"But Master Cheng, I hear the head of Lingxian Hall knows how to handle the Dead Ground. Have you truly seen it with your own eyes?"
Faced with the assembled crowd, Cheng Liang had no choice but to speak truthfully.
"Yes, I did clear a Dead Ground with him once. His cultivation far surpasses mine. I mean no disrespect to those present, but dealing with him requires utmost caution."
"Even if we all attack together, our chances of success would be no higher than fifty percent."
Cheng Liang spoke without malice, merely hoping everyone understood this was no ordinary foe that could be intimidated by sheer numbers. This was a fight where lives would be lost!
But upon hearing this, displeasure flashed across every face!
"Master Cheng, do you truly hold us in such low regard? If so, why bother coming here to consult us at all?"
"Indeed. If that Immortal Su truly possessed such power, would he be so timid and hesitant?"
Cheng Liang only gave a cold laugh. Master Su's power likely far exceeded the comprehension of these people, completely beyond their understanding.
He regretted speaking at all—he should have simply watched these fools march to their deaths!
Now that he'd revealed the truth, he'd become the target of everyone's criticism!
But this time, unexpectedly, the original owner—who had always been at odds with him—spoke up to rescue Cheng Liang.
"Brother Cheng is correct. He hasn't exaggerated. Even with my current Spirit Transformation cultivation, I couldn't withstand a single strike from that impostor!"
"With a single sword strike, he shattered my pride and joy, the Heaven-Shattering Thunder Summoning Technique. Had it not been for my protective artifact, I fear I would have perished in the Northern Realm."
Hearing this, everyone's faces betrayed utter astonishment!
The heads of the immortal sects and clan leaders exchanged glances, for they all knew Cheng Liang had dealings with that Su Immortal. They couldn't tell if his words were true or false!
But the enmity between Su Cheng and that impostor was likely irreconcilable. His words carried considerable weight!
But if that were the case, how could they deal with that Immortal Su?
If Immortal Su truly possessed such formidable powers, and if defeated, faced with reckoning, given his methods, annihilating an entire clan would be the least of their worries!
Though the Immortal Su remained shrouded in mystery, the Lingxian Hall's notorious reputation had long spread far and wide! Everyone knew of it!
Lingxian Hall？
They're notorious for being a den of villains!
They desecrate graves and plunder even the possessions of the dead!
"But you needn't panic. I have a clever plan to kill him!"
Su Cheng had already devised a countermeasure against that impostor—using his own methods against him!
From Chu Youwei's account, Su Cheng learned this glass spear was called the Positioning Anchor Point. It possessed the power to suppress space and subdue everything within it!
Moreover, crucially, Chu Youwei had stated this spear could kill Su Cheng!
This was crucial. After all, this was the cultivation world. If the imposter truly possessed the cultivation level of an Immortal Sovereign, ordinary weapons would likely be ineffective against him.
But if this spear could suppress or kill the imposter, all that was needed was a plan.
Chu Youwei had been sent away by Su Cheng at this moment. After all, she was someone sent by that impostor. Since it was a plan, there was no need for irrelevant people to know. If Chu Youwei were to tell that impostor, the plan would likely fail.
"Besides Su Cheng himself, he has three direct disciples whose strength is conservatively estimated to be on par with yours, Masters. Coupled with the countless immortal artifacts that fake master wields, victory would be nearly impossible."
"However, this spear can neutralize the vast majority of their magical treasures. At that time, all you sect leaders and clan heads need only target those three direct disciples. Capture one alive at all costs!"
"Thus, Su Cheng, mindful of his disciples' safety, will surely hesitate to act rashly!"
Of course, Chu Youwei had already disclosed every detail about the three direct disciples of Lingxian Hall.
Su Cheng assigned different individuals to each of the three disciples, dividing the responsibilities.
As for the other plans, Su Cheng needed to discuss them in detail with Cheng Liang. After all, among these people, only Cheng Liang and Su Cheng possessed cultivation levels significantly higher than the others. The rest likely wouldn't stand a chance in battle.
Only after everyone had departed did Su Cheng slowly speak up, intending to discuss with Cheng Liang their plan to deal with Su Cheng.
In warfare, brothers are the closest allies. In his mind, confronting Su Cheng required the combined efforts of himself and Cheng Liang.
But…
"Senior Brother, don't you think this is a bit too careless?"
Su Cheng was speechless! He hadn't even revealed his plan yet!
"I haven't even said anything yet!"
Cheng Liang slammed his hand on the table. "Senior Brother, they don't know what that imposter is capable of, but you and I? We know him inside out!"
"Just you and me—can we really stand a chance against him?"
Cheng Liang conceded that quantity could indeed overcome quality. With enough numbers, they might just be able to take down that Su Immortal.
But then again!
With just the two of us, what the hell could we possibly trigger?
"Follow me. I'll show you something."
"What is it? Why all the secrecy?"
Without another word, Su Cheng mounted his sword and flew northward. Soon, he led Cheng Liang to a secluded valley.
Cheng Liang wondered inwardly, Could this guy be planning to take me out?
Just as this thought crossed his mind, Su Cheng spoke.
"Brother Cheng, no need to be nervous. If I wanted to make a move, I wouldn't need to find a place like this. Besides, we have a common enemy now, don't we?"
As he spoke, Su Cheng waved his hand, dispelling the barrier around the area. A cave emerged.
"Heh, you're right, Senior Brother."
Despite his words, Cheng Liang remained on high alert, guarding against a possible ambush from Su Cheng!
Entering the cave, Cheng Liang soon came upon something astonishing!
Numerous weapons lay stored within the cave—swords, spears, halberds, bows, crossbows, armor—seemingly complete and well-stocked.
This was not particularly surprising. For cultivators, weapons were merely external tools; only one's own cultivation represented the true inner strength.
However, these were no ordinary weapons. Among them, Cheng Liang recognized the very same Broken Void Blade that had nearly killed Ye Qinghan.
"Where did you get it?"
