"What's wrong?"
"The alarm bell has been sounded. Could it be that some lawless lunatics dare to attack the Su Mansion?"
"What happened?"
As the alarm bells echoed throughout the Su Mansion, the expressions of the young masters and young ladies who were still having dinner in the Longsu Pavilion changed one after another, and they all became a little panicked.
The Su family hasn't sounded the alarm for decades.
Pah.
Xu Xianxian dropped the chopsticks she was using to pick up food, and her eyelids twitched. The powerful spirit condensed from practicing martial arts made her feel an ominous premonition.
"The Su family's alarm bells only ring when a powerful enemy invades. Does this mean the Su family is in danger?" She put down her bowl and chopsticks, and the eyeballs in her eye sockets began to dissipate into gas, her original eyes becoming two swirling cyclones. "No...no, if it was just the Su family in trouble, my sense of foreboding wouldn't be so strong."
Xu Xianxian only felt that her whole body was a little tense, as if there was some horrible monster about to break out from under the ground.
She no longer cared about the young men and women nearby. Her body vaporized into a black-gray elixir, which blew up gusts of bloody wind and swept directly out of the window.
Su Changyun's residence.
The Supreme Elder had just received a secret report from the Supervisory Elder and was sorting out a large pile of talisman paper scrolls at home. He arranged the secret treasures one by one and then hid them in his sleeves in batches.
"Elder."
The slightly gentle female voice behind him startled him and he turned around quickly.
I saw a girl wearing a green tulle long dress with a black ribbon tied around her waist, standing at the door with a curious expression on her face.
"Yuechen, why are you here?"
Seeing that the person coming was Su Yuechen, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued to organize the things in his hands.
"Deer Flower Jade, Night Glow Water, Dragon Dark Crow, these seem to be high-level secret medicines for saving lives, right? And there are so many magic scrolls, all of which are high-level magic from different factions. Elder, are you going to attack other cities?"
Xu Xianxian glanced at the pile of things containing powerful magic and could barely distinguish part of them.
The secret medicine for treatment is still okay, but dozens of high-level magic scrolls are enough to destroy a city.
A magic scroll is a powerful object that can cast magic instantly. Although it is only one-time use, its power is not reduced at all and it saves a long time of casting. Therefore, the production conditions of a magic scroll are extremely harsh. The higher the rank of the magic scroll, the more precious and rare the materials required for its production.
For a high-level scroll like this, even an ordinary nine-ring wizard would spend a lot of resources to make two or three of them, which would be enough to use as a trump card.
Dozens of...
If all of them were released, it would be enough to raze Wuliu City to the ground. It was a real strategic-level scroll, and even Xu Xianxian had to treat it seriously.
If Su Changyun goes crazy and activates all the scrolls at once, she can only run as far away as possible.
"It's more dangerous than attacking a city." Su Changyun sighed, thinking that with Su Yuechen's strength, this matter would not be concealed for long. "Yuechen, have you heard of the Lilong Sect?"
He paused, then spoke to himself, "Although you are powerful, you are still young and don't know much about the major forces on the Gravity Continent. But I can tell you that the Lilong Cult inherits the ancient magical tradition. Its followers worship the ancient Lilong as their totem of faith, and their influence is spread throughout the Gravity Continent. Although the Lilong Cult is only a church and has not established a country, its strength and number of believers are even as strong as our Yuehua Kingdom."
"Can a totem-worshipping church be compared with the entire Yuehua Kingdom?" Xu Xianxian muttered a few words, nodded, and continued to ask: "Since the Lilong Cult is so powerful, how can the Su family be qualified to be associated with it?"
Even though the Su family was wealthy and powerful, it was limited to Wuliu City. At most, it was a decent family in Fengwu Province, but it wasn't ranked high. In the entire Yuehua Kingdom, it was completely insignificant.
Not to mention the high and mighty royal family in the kingdom, even the dukes, marquises, and nobles are far beyond the reach of local lords like the Su family.
If the Lilong Sect is really as Su Changyun said, then the Su family should not be involved in it.
"The Lilong Cult has gone crazy this time!" Su Changyun put the last magic scroll into his sleeve, then straightened his robes and looked at Xu Xianxian calmly. "All countries have agreements. They won't easily break up, let alone openly interfere in other countries' internal affairs. But this time, the Lilong Cult sent its members to slaughter the people of the kingdom and attacked your father, Su Shiheng, the lord of Wuliu City, sixty kilometers outside the city."
"As the Su family's Grand Elder, I've been receiving the family's tribute for so many years, so naturally I have to fulfill my responsibilities. In this critical moment, regardless of whether Xiaoheng lives or dies, I will bring him back."
Xu Xianxian frowned. "Since the elders said that the Lilong Sect is comparable to a country, then even if the Grand Master goes there, it will undoubtedly be like an egg hitting a rock. It is better to report this to the higher-ups of the kingdom. They will not sit idly by."
The state is not entirely a private organization, and interests are above all else most of the time, but sovereignty and the safety of the people are more important than interests.
If the Lilong Cult only killed ordinary people, it would be a simple crime within the kingdom, but openly attacking the city's chief executive is a slap in the face of the kingdom and tramples on the national sovereignty and dignity of the Yuehua Kingdom.
If one lord and hundreds of people are killed today, one hundred lords and people from dozens of cities may be killed tomorrow. If this is left unchecked, the kingdom will be destroyed.
"I've already sent someone to report it, but it's too late to wait for the results." Su Changyun shook his head and instructed Xu Xianxian, "Yuechen, you wait in the mansion. If anything happens to me, if the Lilong Sect makes any unusual moves, or if they directly attack Wuliu City, the elders will activate the emergency mechanism and get you out through a safe passage."
"In that case, I'll go with you."
Xu Xianxian grinned, her lips were red and her teeth were white, looking a bit youthful like a girl.
"No! You are the future hope of the Su family. Anyone can go, but you can't go!"
Su Changyun understood what such a young wizard represented. As long as he had enough time, Su Yuechen would grow up to be a big figure who would dominate the kingdom.
"The Li family is still in the mansion. I think they will not only stand by and watch, but will also take advantage of my misfortune and take advantage of the situation to attack me. The elders in the mansion alone may not be able to handle it." Xu Xianxian shook her head. "Rather than that, why don't I work with the elders to get Su Shiheng out? If he's alive, that's good, but if he's dead, then as the heir to the daughter of the Lord of Wuliu City, I will immediately take over the entire Su family."
She could feel that this matter was not as simple as the elder said. Hiding in the mansion might not help her escape the disaster. Now she was in the dark and had to go and see the situation in person.
What's more, she now needs to plunder powerful souls.
