“You want me to take action to rescue the ancient ancestors of the Su Clan?”
Su Yun explained her purpose, and Lu Changsheng fell into hesitation.
The predicament of the ancient ancestors of the Su Clan trapped in the depths of the Void was something Lu Changsheng had already been made aware of.
However, the situation of the Su Clan ancestors was something Lu Changsheng alone could not resolve.
Even with the cultivation of the Su Clan ancestors, they were unable to free themselves. How could Lu Changsheng, at the Divine King Realm, possibly rescue them?
“I would like to invite the two Great Sacred Lands, Mount Taihua and Guanghan Palace, to take action to rescue our Su Clan ancestors. For this, our Su Clan is willing to exhaust the entire fortune of the clan.”
“Is that so…”
If Su Yun were willing to offer the Su Clan’s treasured artifacts in exchange for the assistance of Mount Taihua and Guanghan Palace, the two Sacred Lands might indeed agree. After all, such a perilous journey would come with substantial risk on their part.
“I will discuss with the experts from both Sacred Lands to see if they are willing to take action.”
Lu Changsheng knew that with his own strength, rescuing the ancient ancestors of the Su Clan was certainly beyond his capabilities. If the ancestors of Mount Taihua and Guanghan Palace were willing to offer their aid, there might still be a glimmer of hope.
Of course, Mount Taihua and Guanghan Palace might also refuse, as they too risk the possibility of becoming trapped in the same manner as the ancient ancestors of the Su Clan. The journey is fraught with danger.
Lu Changsheng brought Su Yun along to meet the ancestors of Guanghan Palace and Mount Taihua Sacred Land.
“Heading into the Void is excessively dangerous. Beyond the Void Behemoths, there are countless other perils…”
The Jiang Family Ancestor, known for his fiery temperament, couldn’t help but feel apprehensive upon learning of the proposed journey to the depths of the Void.
The Void lies beyond the Three Realms, filled with endless hazards where even Great Experts may fall.
“I deeply sympathize with the plight of the ancient Su Clan, but relying solely on the strength of our Mount Taihua Sacred Land, I fear it is impossible to rescue your Su Clan ancestors.”
Lin Xuantong also believed the dangers were too great.
For ordinary requests, he might have been persuaded to help, but the task Su Yun proposed this time was far from simple.
“Unless…”
Lin Xuantong’s gaze turned towards the ancestors of Guanghan Palace.
If the ancestors of Guanghan Palace were willing to take action, then perhaps the situation would change.
The ancestors of Guanghan Palace, seasoned and experienced individuals, naturally understood the implication of Lin Xuantong’s words.
Dozens of ancestors maintained expressionless faces, showing no outward reaction, clearly engaged in clandestine voice transmissions among themselves to deliberate whether they should intervene and help the Su Clan.
If they were to rescue the Su Clan, the benefits could include receiving the Su Clan’s gratitude, and even acquiring the Su Clan’s treasured artifacts. Yet, the endeavor might also result in tremendous costs.
“Our Su Clan is willing to offer two of our Clan’s Treasures as compensation.”
Su Yun waited anxiously for the decision of the ancestors from Guanghan Palace.
Only the ancestors of Guanghan Palace held a sliver of hope to rescue the ancestors of the Su Clan.
Two Clan Treasures.
Lu Changsheng himself had obtained the Ancient Han Family’s Clan Treasure, the “Mountain and Rivers Chart,” which had repeatedly saved him from dire situations.
The Ancient Han Family was merely a second-tier clan within the Immortal Realm. If their Clan Treasure was so formidable, the treasures of the ancient Su Clan, superior to the “Mountain and Rivers Chart,” could only be more outstanding.
The Ancient Helian Clan and Ancient Huangfu Clan had been targeting Su Yun, all in hopes of seizing the treasures of the Han Family.
Su Yun thought to herself that she would rather let Guanghan Palace and Mount Taihua Sacred Land benefit than let the Ancient Helian Clan and Ancient Huangfu Clan take possession of the artifacts.
Besides, even if the Ancient Helian Clan and Ancient Huangfu Clan managed to obtain the Su Clan’s treasures, it was uncertain whether they would genuinely take action to rescue the ancestors of the Su Clan.
One of the leading ancestors from Guanghan Palace spoke: “Venturing into the Void requires an essential treasure, the Void Boat. Without it, True Qi will quickly deplete upon entering the Void. Since you are determined to venture into the depths of the Void, I presume you have the Void Boat?”
Su Yun nodded. “Our Su Clan possesses four Void Boats. My parents took the first Void Boat into the depths of the Void to explore and became trapped in one location. Later, the ancestors took the second Void Boat to attempt a rescue, but they too became trapped. Subsequently, the ancient ancestors took the third Void Boat to rescue them but also ended up trapped. I have the fourth and final Void Boat with me. Last time, I sought out a group of strong experts indebted to the Su Clan, and we ventured into the depths of the Void together aboard the Void Boat. Unfortunately, our efforts fell short of success.”
The ancestors of Guanghan Palace and Mount Taihua Sacred Land exchanged glances with one another.
The Su Clan ancestors were certainly reckless—like a tale of the Calabash Brothers rescuing their grandfather, one after another sacrificing themselves.
“So you do have a way to avoid getting trapped yourself?”
The ancestors of Guanghan Palace and Mount Taihua Sacred Land finally relaxed slightly.
Since Su Yun had returned unscathed last time, it meant that as long as they didn’t act recklessly, the risks might be less severe.
“Yes, I’ve learned from the lessons of last time. If I can gain your esteemed assistance this time, we should be able to rescue the ancestors. I will accompany you all, and if anything goes wrong, I will not survive alone.”
Eventually, one of the ancestors spoke up: “Your Su Clan’s treasures are secondary in importance. Though the treasures are indeed unparalleled within the Three Realms, the foundations of Guanghan Palace are no less formidable. The calamity is approaching—the Demon Lord schemes relentlessly, and the Demon Clan Tribes such as the Kui Phoenix Clan are stirring below the surface. Guanghan Palace must accumulate our strength. If rescuing the Su Clan ancestors would enhance our combined power within the Immortal Realm, it holds great value.”
“We at Guanghan Palace have decided to dispatch eighteen ancestors to accompany you to the depths of the Void to rescue the Su Clan ancestors.”
“However, let it be clear—we reserve the choice to abort the mission should the dangers prove insurmountable along the way.”
Despite the conditional assistance from the Guanghan ancestors, Su Yun could not conceal her elation.
After all these years, she had finally found someone willing to help.
“As for us at Mount Taihua, we will need to return and consult with the ancestral elders.”
