Half a month later.
Su Zhi sent news that Family Head Su Peng, attempting to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, failed due to the onset of covert injuries, severely damaging his vital energy. Conversely, Fourth Elder Su Jingbang successfully broke through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.
This failure to break through virtually extinguishes any hope of another attempt in the future.
Hence, while Su Peng was still recuperating in the core area's cave mansion, mending his severely damaged vital energy, Su Jingbang was in secluded cultivation there. Su Zhi had been arranged by Su Peng to return to the alley courtyard and persuade Su Yu to take over as the clan leader.
Su Yu said, "Sis, my character just isn't suited for being a clan leader. Besides, I need to focus on my cultivation so that I can break through to the Foundation Establishment as soon as possible."
