Chapter 579: Chapter 253: Profound Nether Copper Ship

Suhe Zhen took a ragged breath and spoke slowly,

"That is what my predecessors at Tingtiao Pavilion described as... the Cangsheng Tribulation.

"When that day comes, the world will inevitably be washed in blood..."

"Who would come to wash the world in blood?"

Fang Shuwen frowned. ’It’s feeling more and more like the description on the Tingtiao Pavilion murals might be related to ’that day’ Dragon Abyss mentioned.’

"Or rather, what kind of person would even have the ability to wash the world in blood?"

"I don’t know..."

Suhe Zhen looked at Fang Shuwen, a hint of a smile suddenly appearing in his eyes.

"Perhaps... someone like you?"

After speaking, he continued to watch Fang Shuwen’s expression. Seeing no change, he shook his head.

"How dull...

"However, Hero Fang, this Cangsheng Tribulation is inevitable.

"Across the four seas and Five Domains, there must be others who know of this great calamity’s existence.

"It’s just a pity that Tingtiao Pavilion’s legacy is incomplete. It’s been said through word of mouth that this tribulation is fate!

"For thousands of years, there has been an inevitable final battle!

"And that is why I must obtain the Profound Celestial Iron Mirror.

"The great calamity is approaching. No matter what, I must make a desperate gamble..."

"The great calamity is approaching?"

Luo Shuqing’s brow furrowed.

"Is what you’re saying true?"

"Whether it’s true or not no longer has anything to do with you.

"It can only be verified after the fact... As for the matter of the Profound Celestial Iron Mirror, it will only be settled after you, Luo Shuqing, are dead..."

At this point, Suhe Zhen suddenly looked at Fang Shuwen and laughed wildly.

"You... you can’t protect her... You can’t protect her!!"

Luo Shuqing seemed to be in a slight daze, and she subconsciously took a step back.

Fang Shuwen glanced at her, then said to Suhe Lan,

"I’m about to kill him. Is there anything else you want to ask?"

Suhe Lan hesitated for a moment before looking at Suhe Zhen.

"Is there anything you want to say to me?"

Suhe Zhen roared with laughter.

"What do you want to hear from your father? ’I’m sorry’?

"No, I won’t say it... The Suhe Family has been this way for generations.

"It was so for you, and for your sister as well.

"Your aunt was the same!

"This is the secret of Tingtiao Pavilion’s lineage. It has always been this way... But who has ever heard a single apology?

"Lan’er... That should have been your fate!

"But now, your fate... seems to have changed."

Suhe Lan scoffed.

"If it’s my fate, then why should I let you control it?"

"I have a question."

Luo Shuqing suddenly took a step forward.

"Why did it have to be Suhe Jing and Suhe Lan who died, and not Suhe Chen!?"

Suhe Chen had died too, but that was an act of self-preservation by Suhe Zhen under the immense pressure from Fang Shuwen.

If Fang Shuwen hadn’t appeared, Suhe Chen wouldn’t have died; he would have become the next Suhe Zhen.

Fang Shuwen glanced at Luo Shuqing but didn’t say anything more.

Suhe Zhen was silent for a moment, then glanced at Luo Shuqing.

"What does it have to do with you."

Luo Shuqing’s fists clenched with a CRACK, but Suhe Lan had already shaken her head and said to Fang Shuwen,

"There’s nothing more to say between him and me."

"Alright."

As soon as the word was spoken, Fang Shuwen abruptly struck out with his palm.

BAM!!

With a sickening thud, Suhe Zhen’s head was instantly shattered to pieces.

Fang Shuwen’s gaze shifted, landing on the other surviving Tingtiao Pavilion disciples in the plaza, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Seeing this, Suhe Lan immediately knew what he intended to do and spoke softly,

"Young Master Fang."

"You want to plead for the Tingtiao Pavilion disciples?"

Fang Shuwen’s gaze fell upon Suhe Lan.

Suhe Lan shook her head, but then quickly nodded.

"I’m not asking for Young Master Fang to spare all of them...

"Although they were only following orders, Suhe Zhen’s influence on them is too great.

"You killed Suhe Zhen. They will inevitably harbor resentment toward you in their hearts, and that resentment will turn into a blood feud.

"Even if you have no fear of this, Young Master Fang, it will still bring you endless trouble.

"Rather than passively dealing with countless unforeseen incidents later, it would be better to kill them all cleanly right now..."

Fang Shuwen was somewhat surprised to hear this.

"Then what is it you want to say?"

"Can you spare some of them?"

Suhe Lan said,

"I can’t control all of them, but a portion of them are loyal to me.

"This group, they won’t cause you any trouble.

"I can lead them..."

Fang Shuwen didn’t speak, just quietly watched Suhe Lan.

Suhe Lan met his gaze openly.

After a long moment, Fang Shuwen finally spoke softly,

"As far as I can tell, Tingtiao Pavilion was only able to become one of the Eight Forbidden Areas of the East Sea because of that Secret Technique your father used.

"Devouring one’s own kin to enhance one’s Talent and Power.

"Back when Suhe Jing ’disappeared,’ Suhe Chen suddenly displayed a level of Talent he had never shown before. The reason for the change must lie there.

"Now that Suhe Zhen is dead, I’m afraid that Secret Technique is lost.

"Even if you become Tingtiao Pavilion’s Pavilion Master, I doubt it would be possible to maintain its status as one of the Eight Forbidden Areas of the East Sea.

"Under these circumstances, even if you save that group of people, what good will it do?"

"Keep the essence and discard the dregs. That Secret Technique was the dregs of Tingtiao Pavilion’s Martial Arts."

Suhe Lan slowly let out a breath.

"Tingtiao Pavilion’s Martial Arts aren’t all based on such bloody methods.

"All the Martial Arts I have learned are from the Righteous Dao lineage.

"I don’t want to let this lineage die out...

"Even if my descendants lack outstanding Talent, then at worst, they can abdicate their position to someone more worthy.
