"Look! The clan master is out!" A voice cried with excitement.
At once, all the nervous soldiers turned their gaze and saw a young handsome man come out of the forest.
His hair was disheveled with his clothes were torn in many places, but that didn't stop his otherworldly look.
"C-Clan master," a captain came forward and cupped his hand in respect.
"Everything has been settled… Continue to guard this place." With that, Su Yen turned and left calmly.

Looking at the series of notifications, Su Yen didn't change his expression.
God knows how many times he was killed by the ape. He even thought he wouldn't recover when he reached a certain extent.
The massive gap between a Qi Refinement stage warrior and a Foundation Building beast was so massive that it made him helpless.
Nevertheless, he got his advantage. When the Ape found him unkillable, it was stupefied.
Is there anyone that can't be killed?
Left with no choice, he had to deal with Su Yen and made a deal with him.
Arriving in the clan, he found the atmosphere a bit strange. The men had a look of yearning and admiration on their faces, whispering to each other.
"C-Clan master…" Elder Su Jie welcomed with a bright smile.
"What's going on?" Su Yen asked with a slight frown on his face.
"The Barren Land Goddess is waiting for you in the main hall?"
"The Barren Land Goddess?" He squinted his brow with puzzlement written all over his face.
Seeing that Su Yen didn't know who the goddess of the barren land was, Elder Jie clapped his forehead in exasperation.
Is there someone who doesn't know the Goddess?!
After briefly introducing who the Barren Land Goddess was, Su Yen raised his brow and looked at the old man in his late sixties with a knowing smile.
'So that's why this old man is smiling like a fool.'
Sitting on his throne, Su Yen looked calmly at the woman below without any expression on his face.
He had to say, she was the prettiest woman he had ever seen. Her beauty was beyond measure.
Looking at her sumptuous, curvaceous breasts, he sucked in a cold breath.
Meanwhile, Huang Yan was also checking Su Yen out. She had seen many handsome and influential men.
But she had to give it to him, the way Su Yen carried himself and the aura around him was something she had never seen before.
"Miss Huang, can I know the reason why you grace our lowly sacred clan with your esteemed self?" Su Yen asked, going directly straight to the point.
Although he appreciated her looks, that wouldn't mean he would lose his common sense and fawn on her.
Huang Yan had long expected Su Yen to fawn at her or say some rather flowery words. Unfortunately, she guessed wrong.
She raised her brow, looking a bit shocked for a moment before she quickly regained her serene expression.
"C-Clan Master, I'd like to buy the secret technique of creating the Metal Bone Construct." Huang Yan went straight to the point, looking directly into Su Yen's face.
"No," Su Yen responded without thinking about it.
"What!" Huang Yan was surprised.
"I said no," His expression was calm as he stared at her dumbfounded face.
How could this be?
Huang Yan didn't believe Su Yen would reject her without consulting with the clan elders or giving it a thought.
It was no secret that the Mist Jade harbor, which belonged to the Huang family, made an annual revenue worth one million gold coins.
This made them the richest sacred clan in the whole of the barren land.
Most clans wanted to have a partnership with the Huang clan but never had a chance.
But now, she extended the olive branch to the Su sacred clan, the weakest and poorest of the four sacred clans, but they refused.
For a couple of seconds, the main hall descended into an abrupt silence as the two of them were looking at each other's faces.
"Are you not going to think about it?" Huang Yan asked, still in disbelief.
"No," Su Yen shook his head.
Sighed.
Huang Yan had met a lot of men, but this was the first time she encountered an unreasonable young man who lost such a golden opportunity.
"You should know the situation of our ships with the pirates. We need this construct to protect the ship…" She said, lowering her voice a bit filled with melancholy.
"I know about it. But I won't sell the secret of the Metal Bone Construct to anyone…" He paused for a moment and the corner of his mouth curled upward a bit.
If his elder brother and sister were to see his face, they would know Su Yen was plotting something nasty.
"But there may be a way for us to cooperate," He added.
"Really?" Huang Yan's depressive face brightened up a bit and she raised her face, staring at his face.
"Shall we go for a walk?" Su Yen asked but was already on his feet.
