Lady Su's Revenge Chapter 419

Chapter 419 Valuable livestock

It was night, and Su Li walked overtly on the path near the herb garden at the back hill of Su Family.

The residence of the Head Branch was equipped with tactical matrices everywhere. Without a route map, even Su Family's own members were not sure of a secured exit, so Su Li didn't encounter many patrolling disciples on her way.

People of the Su Family would never believe that Su Yuanhai, the head of the Seventh Branch, would be manipulated and leak the security route.

With Su Li's knowledge to tactical matrix, it was not difficult to get through the matrices, but she didn't have that time.

She had to take part in the so-called trial, and she got only one night.

A moment later, the path came to its end.

Sensing two practitioners of Yuanying Realm ahead, Su Li made herself invisible and approached covertly. A cave brightly lit came into view.

Two elders of Yuanying Realm sat quietly at the cave entrance and spread out their divine awareness guarding. Even a mosquito would not be let in, not to mention a human being.

“It is well guarded.”

Su Li narrowed her eyes and fell back for a distance, taking out a cloak from the universe ring.

Cloak of Earth!

With the Cloak of Earth driven by the soul power, one could travel freely in soils and rocks. It was fantastic.

There was nothing more to talk about its origin. Su Li borrowed it from Su Yousheng after Su Yuanhai told her that they would go to the Head Branch. She got familiar with it soon because her soul was much stronger than Su Yousheng's.

“What can these two watchdogs of Yuanying Realm do to me?”

With a smile, she put on the cloak and got herself underground, which was similar to what Su Yousheng did when she stole in the treasury.

However, one piece of treasure in the cave alone was much valuable than the whole treasury of the Seventh Branch.

Three meters down the ground, Su Li walked toward the cave and could hear the footsteps above occasionally.

“Patrols even in the passage…”

In the darkness, Su Li smiled coldly, “It's time to return things to their original owner after one thousand years.”

She then pulled together her minds and put more soul power into the cloak, and sped up to drill deeper to the cave.

Leaving a section of the passage behind, Su Li began to slope down, and the mud became moister. However, Su Li didn't care or slowed down, for she was wrapped in the cloak. A few moments later, she suddenly stopped right before a purple root, which was crystal clear. At this time came a sound of conversation from above.

Here it was.

Su Li applied the All Spirits Tactics to its extreme with a flash of cold light in her eyes, and even the cloak was wrapped in. As she kept her body still like a stone, the conversation became clear.

“Tianyou Lotus was about to ripen. Su Huanzhi, are you sure that you have nothing in your mind?”

“Haha, Forth Brother, you're talking bullshit. Who dares to steal from Su Huanli? He doesn't care about whose heir the thief is. The elders would turn a blind eye if he killed us.”

“Inform him when Tianyou Lotus is ripe and don't make a wrong decision.”

The so-called Forth Brother became silent at the words. After a long while, he snorted unwillingly and their conversation finished.

Su Li heard their conversation and was immersed in thought.

Though young, they had strong cultivation, at least at the middle stage of Yuanying Realm after she observed roughly. No wonder that Tianyou Lotus had aroused their interests. However, Su Huanli was half a step away from Huashen Realm, and Tianyou Lotus was more useful to him. It might help him break through directly to become another Grand Elder in the Su Family.

“Huh? Mingjing Lotus?”

A voice of surprise sounded in Su Li's awareness sea suddenly. She blinked, “Done with the absorption of the soul stones?”

As she sent out her mind, she sensed that the Black Lotus Ring re-emerged on her finger with darker color.

“Of course. Otherwise, I would not have the energy to talk with you. I saw Mingjing Lotus the moment I opened my eyes. Huh… Your cloak is also very precious. You seem to be lucky in the last two years. Did you get more soul stones for me?”

Black Lotus partly recovering from his injury seemed to be much more arrogant.

Su Li didn't bother to give him a lesson and asked directly, “You're meaning that this thing was called Mingjing Lotus in ancient times? It is called Tianyou Lotus now and can help people into an empty but clear state or possibly help those half a step away from Huashen Realm break through to enter the genuine Huashen Realm, the top in Jiuzhou Region.

Black Lotus sneered, “Exactly. It does help breakthrough to Huashen Realm, but it would be a reckless waste to use it for that purpose!”

“Then how to use it properly?”

Su Li frowned slightly, because she was also going to use it likewise.

“Dear Su Li, you are not so smart!”

After his dormancy, Black Lotus seemed to have forgotten the fear when he was threatened by Su Li and continued looking for trouble, “You are still practicing the Cuixing Swordsmanship I granted to you, right? Which move are you practicing now? You should be practicing the third move after two years.”

Su Li nodded, “I finished the ninth move. What's your point?”

“Huh… Huh?”

Black Lotus was gratified, nodding. Suddenly, he realized something was wrong and doubted if he had misheard. He couldn't stand to ask, “Wait! Which move did you say?”

Su Li replied plainly, “You heard correctly, the NINTH move.”

Crack!

The Black Lotus Ring stopped rotating. He disappeared from Su Li's finger with a swoosh and hid into her body, trembling.

“No one has even learned three moves in two years in ancient times. Good heavens… nine moves in two years!!”

“Did I sleep only two years rather than two hundred years? Or two thousand years?”

“How could it be possible?!”

Black Lotus fell into a serious self-doubt, grieving, “Does this mean that I am destined to bet set back by her?”

Su Li didn't mind seeing Black Lotus Ring hide. She concentrated and waited for the chance.

Not before long, a hint of fluctuation emerged in her eyes.

The two above began to talk again.

“Third Brother, I cannot just let it go. Why did Su Huanli always practice faster than us? We all ate the valuable livestock back then! Why!”

“Shut up, Su Huanyi! Did you know what you are talking about?!”

“Third Brother, please. There is nobody else here, and my talk will not harm. Besides, the valuable livestock didn't have much meat. We five shared equally the twenty chunks and we should have practiced at a similar speed!”

“But Su Huanli was always faster than us. Didn't you ever have any doubts, Third Brother?”

The elder one didn't speak anymore but breathed much heavily. There was obviously a storm in his heart.

“Only bones were left after we ate it, but the flesh regenerated a few months later. If we were bold enough to get some more… Su Huanli must have done it!”

“Talk does no good now. The livestock has been dead for a thousand years and you still can't forget it.”

“I just can't let it go! The valuable livestock belongs to our Su Family. Why should we let those bastards of Yuxu Sect benefit from it? Damn it!”

“It was a taboo that the Su Family occupied secretly the flesh and blood of the valuable livestock. Had it not been dead, we would have been in big trouble if the Mighty from the holy sects found out. So, never talk about it again.”

“I know the red line.”

“And you don't need to envy Su Huanli. He had been targeted for his unusual speed of cultivation like an evildoer. We can have much less pressure behind him.”

“Well, you are pretty positive.”

That man snorted and became silent.

Under the ground, Su Li's pupils shrank slightly, and a ferocious expression could be seen on her face. She had been intended to fetch back her belongings, but now… she changed her mind.

As Su Li shook her shoulders, a hunched black cat fell off and opened its eyes, looking at her confusedly.

In front of the pond where Tianyou Lotus grew, two men seeming to be in middle age were sitting absent-minded and didn't realize the oddity around them.

The elder practitioner seemed to feel something wrong and checked the vault with his psychic awareness but found nothing. He thought he might be overstressed and was about to retrieve his psychic awareness.

Suddenly, a jolt from the ground came up, just like something heavy fell.

The two brothers of the Su Family were surprised and stood up. The middle-aged man with triangular eyes in dark purple robe asked seriously, “Forth Brother, did you feel it?”

Another one with a square face nodded unnoticeably and looked around cautiously, “The vibration… was definitely no illusion.”

“Should it be the Grand Elder practicing above the cave at night?”

The man with three-triangular eyes still thought nothing was wrong in the cave. As he was about to check around, a shadow appeared in front of him with no sign.

They were surprised and stepped back fast immediately, during which they found a lovely black cat only.

Su Huanyi was confused.

What was that?

A cat appeared in the midnight? How could it be here? What about those outside?

“Guards!”

Su Huanzhi was elder and was going to call guards. He took the situation seriously, even though the cat seemed not harmful.

However, they had missed their best chances as they were in a daze.

“Guards…”

The sound echoed vacantly in the cave. Su Huanzhi waited for a long time, but no one came in.

At this moment, the two finally changed their countenance and rushed outward together. However, the scene in front of them changed on their halfway and they returned to the original place.

“It's a tactical matrix, at least above the ninth-grade!”

Su Huanzhi's face became paler, “When was it made? As the black cat distracted us?”

“Third Brother!”

Su Huanyi called out. Su Huanzhi raised his head and saw an indistinct figure of a young girl approaching, on whose shoulder a black cat was yawning with a despising look.

“I have my master, you two scumbags!”

“She comes with ill intents!”

Su Huanzhi was shocked but pretended to be calm. He did a fist and palm salute, “What's your purpose? Here is the secluded place of the Su Family. If you leave now, we…”

“I have only one question for you.”

Su Li opened her mouth, “What is the valuable livestock? Or… who is it?”
