Tianhai Immortal Martial Academy
Accommodation Area for Gifted Students
Luxurious villas are situated here.
Su Wu is one of the top three geniuses at Tianhai Immortal Martial Academy.
Currently, in the hall of his villa, a young man paced nervously. He was Hornan, the eldest son of Su Quan, a member of the Su family. His talent for cultivating immortals far surpassed that of his brother, Su Cheng. Hornan had been sent to practice at the Tianhai Su family since childhood and only returned to Linzhou during holidays.
In Tianhai Immortal Martial Academy, Hornan served as Su Wu's follower, dealing with those who interfered with Su Wu's plans.
At present, Su Wu was in seclusion in the villa's training room, attempting a breakthrough.
Hornan had just received a call from Su Quan. Learning that his brother, Su Cheng, had been killed by Horn, Hornan's anger surged uncontrollably.
"An abandoned son! How dare Horn kill my brother in public! Damn it!"
"Stay calm. Don't rush things. We'll address everything once the young master emerges from seclusion."
A stooped old man suddenly appeared in the hall. Hornan immediately exclaimed, "Mr. Meng!"
This old man, from Su Wu's mother's family, had been secretly protecting Su Wu since his birth. Mr. Meng was also responsible for the unique method of extracting and transplanting immortal bones from Horn to Su Wu.
Hornan ceased his pacing and stood still, waiting quietly.
Tianhai Immortal Martial Academy is one of the five renowned schools in Xia Kingdom, renowned for its rich spiritual energy.
As time passed, more than five hours later, the ground suddenly trembled. Hornan was startled, while Mr. Meng's cloudy eyes glinted with a smile.
Soon, the tremors grew more intense, causing decorative vases to shatter. The spiritual energy in the villa surged wildly, forming a terrifying tornado above it.
Talented students from surrounding villas emerged, watching the phenomenon with curiosity.
"Is Mr. Su about to break through?"
"I remember he was at half-step Sky Control. After this, he'll become a true master in the Sky Control Realm!"
"The Immortal Bones are indeed powerful! Mr. Su, who possesses them, will advance significantly in the Immortal Cultivation World of Earth."
Various discussions ensued.
Suddenly, a young man with a short haircut whispered, "I heard the immortal bones in Su Wu's body came from dubious sources. You—"
Before he could finish, a sharp energy severed his head, blood spraying.
"If you dare slander my young master behind his back, you will be punished!" Mr. Meng's cold voice echoed from the villa.
The students, terrified, retreated to their villas. Though there were many geniuses in the area, Su Wu stood at the top of the academy's hierarchy, and the Su family wielded significant power. The academy wouldn't pursue the matter further, favoring Su Wu and his family.
In the villa's lobby, Mr. Meng scoffed, "An insignificant ant thinks living among geniuses elevates him instantly. Such people will die sooner or later. I'm just speeding up the process."
Hornan nodded vigorously. "Mr. Meng, you are absolutely right. It's no loss for such a person to die."
Just then, an authoritative voice cut in, "Hornan, what are you and Mr. Meng discussing?"
Su Wu entered the hall, dressed in luxurious training clothes, exuding an air of supreme authority.
"Master," Hornan greeted respectfully, swallowing nervously. "Congratulations on your successful breakthrough to the Sky Control Realm!"
Su Wu, in good spirits, smiled. "Hornan, as long as you remain loyal to me, I promise you will reach the Sky Control Realm in the future!"
Hornan bowed deeply. "Thank you, young master, for your guidance!"
He then recounted the phone call from his father, Su Quan. Su Wu listened intently, frowning slightly. He picked up the mobile phone from the coffee table and dialed Su Quan's number.
Su Wu learned of the recent events in Linzhou: the destruction of the Sun family, Su Cheng's death at Horn's hands, the annihilation of Zhang Hongshun's family, and the deaths of Yan Chuan and Yan Jie from the Imperial Capital Immortal Martial Academy.
So much death and turmoil in such a short time was indeed peculiar.
After ending the call, Su Wu muttered, "My dear cousin Horn is still alive! Not only that, but he's miraculously reached the Innate Realm and climbed to the seventh floor of the Seven-Colored Immortal Tower in the Imperial Martial Academy!"
"Could it be that he has awakened some extraordinary talent?"
Given that Su Wu's immortal bones and Qin Tiance's infinite purple pupils were taken from Horn, Su Wu was not surprised by Horn's potential awakening of rare talents.
"I've been bored lately. My cousin's return will add some excitement."
A sneer appeared on Su Wu's lips. "Mr. Meng, make a trip to Linzhou. Have Horn kneel before Su Cheng's coffin and repent, then let him kowtow ten thousand times to show his remorse. Afterward, bring him back to Tianhai."
"I haven't seen him in so long. I want to catch up."
Su Wu's eyes gleamed with coldness. Mr. Meng nodded. "Master, I will handle it properly."
Hornan asked respectfully, "Master, may I accompany Mr. Meng to Linzhou?"
Su Wu waved his hand dismissively. "Su Cheng is your biological brother. You should go back. Remember to control your anger. Once General Meng captures Horn, do not kill him. I want him alive."
"If you accidentally kill Horn, I will ensure your entire family suffers."
Su Wu was eager to discover the secrets Horn might hold. If Horn had indeed awakened a terrifying talent, Su Wu would find a way to obtain it.
Hornan, trembling with fear, repeatedly bowed to Su Wu. "Master, I would never defy your orders. I will make sure Horn suffers but remains alive."
Su Wu dismissed them with a wave. After Hornan and Mr. Meng exited the villa hall, Su Wu gazed at the falling leaves outside the window, pondering, "Cousin, what kind of surprise will you bring me this time? I'm looking forward to it!"
