Capítulo 16: Chapter 16: Chu Nan
Su Xing'er was focused on the account book when Shen Wansan knocked on the door and entered.
"Mr. Shen, how's it going?" Su Xing'er's gaze remained on the account book. She spoke without lifting her head.
"Miss Xing'er, we've established connections with two Kingdoms: Kun'an and Qiuning."
"Then let's start reaping the rewards from these two places!" Su Xing'er wasn't overly concerned.
"These two kingdoms hope that we will invest more effort. As for manpower, I'll request assistance from the family."
"That's only natural."
During this period, the major trading companies of the Azure Cloud Kingdom had stabilized and were developing smoothly. It was time to expand into other areas. She had learned much during this time, but certain measures, like membership and information dissemination, were still beyond her reach. Nevertheless, she believed these would be realized someday.
In the southwestern part of the Northwest Region, a procession advanced grandly on a spiritual boat. It was a gathering of people from the Su family and Qianqiu Sect.
Upon hearing the news, Qianqiu Sect had wasted no time. The seven elders were present, five of them, along with two Peak True Martial realm Elders. In addition, there were a number of deacons, totaling more than a hundred, all of whom were at least experts in the Heavenly Martial realm.
As for the spiritual boat, it belonged to the Su family. It was obtained when Su Xun signed in and was then placed in the Su family treasury. Its quality was Earth Grade Peak. The Su family only possessed two boats of this level.
Seeing the spiritual boat, Qianqiu Ancestor became even more enthusiastic. This was no ordinary asset; not many forces could claim to have such a vessel. He had never heard of any power in the southwestern part of the Northwest Region possessing such a thing.
He was familiar with Pingnan Academy, aware that it had greater strength than Qianqiu Sect in terms of high-level combatants. However, this was solely in terms of high-end battle power. Moreover, many of Pingnan Academy's teachers were external hires, without a true sense of belonging to the academy.
With the Su family involved this time, he couldn't be sure why the leader of the Su family was only at the late Heavenly Martial Realm. Nevertheless, it was this uncertainty that made Qianqiu Ancestor go all-in. This group was loyal to the Su family, and the Su family's formidable strength had won them over.
The Fifth Elder was oblivious to the rich inner thoughts of Qianqiu Ancestor. His attention was fixed on the distance; they were almost at Pingnan City.
"Little Nanzi, looks like we're in for quite the spectacle," a voice echoed in Chu Nan's mind.
Chu Nan, the young man named, looked up at the sky boat above him. He figured the "great show" his master spoke of must have something to do with it.
However… wasn't he told not to call him "Little Nanzi" anymore? It felt weird, but he kept his complaints to himself. Otherwise, he'd be mocked with a pun on his name. Chu Nan, when spoken quickly, sounded like "Virgin" in their dialect.
"Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and follow."
In Chu Nan's mind resided a remnant soul, while before him stood a mighty Yin-Yang realm expert. Regrettably, he fell victim to a conspiracy and perished, leaving behind only a remnant soul.
Normally, one cannot reincarnate without reaching the Reincarnation realm. However, he was a remnant soul, and he was also an alchemist. His situation differed from reincarnation. He could regain a considerable amount of strength by paying a price, even tapping into his previous life's power. But he estimated he wouldn't last long, even using everything he had.
When Chu Nan had encountered him earlier, he sensed Chu Nan had exceptional luck. He had coaxed Chu Nan into becoming his disciple.
"Judging by their demeanor, they are from a major power. Can an old man like you manage?" Chu Nan remained skeptical, well aware that a spiritual boat of this caliber wasn't something a minor power could possess.
"Merely a Profound Origin Realm cultivator, but I can suppress them easily." Xuan Qingzi spoke nonchalantly. He could suppress them, but it would likely lead to him entering a deep sleep, and that slumber could last for a hundred years.
The spiritual boat continued forward, flying directly over Pingnan City.
Pingnan Academy was situated deep within Pingnan City, backed by a mountain. Though it didn't appear grand, it exuded an air of antiquity.
However, today, it was destined to become a ruin.
Su Zijie paid no heed and directly utilized the spiritual cannon on the spiritual boat, bombarding the largest palace of Pingnan Academy, causing half of it to crumble.
By now, Pingnan Academy's personnel realized they were under attack. One of the vice masters employed his spiritual consciousness to scan the area, but he encountered an even stronger counterattack. He even sustained injuries.
He had assumed it was a powerful individual passing by and hadn't expected they were targeting the academy.
The damaged palace was where disciples attended morning classes. Normally, many students gathered there. The losses were likely severe. Among these disciples, many were affiliated with forces even Pingnan Academy couldn't afford to offend. If they died here, the academy wouldn't be able to withstand the fury of these numerous factions. The vice master's heart brimmed with anger at this thought.
Flying into the sky, attempting to match the spiritual boat's altitude, proved more challenging than anticipated.
Black and White Duo hadn't made a move, yet the Qianqiu Sect's leader was already on his way up.
Both individuals were at the Perfect True Martial realm. In a fight, they were evenly matched. However, the vice master's injuries were more pronounced.
Even if he had merely grasped the basics of the Earth Grade Peak technique, the Youthful Dragon Step, it granted him an advantage in speed. This disparity soon attracted the attention of the higher echelons of Pingnan Academy.
Pingnan's Head Master cast his gaze toward the combatants and then to those aboard the spiritual boat. His cultivation allowed him to easily identify the individuals on the deck.
"Gentlemen, you attack Pingnan Academy without provocation. Do you think we're easy prey?" The Headmaster of Pingnan Academy roared, unsheathing a sharp sword, ready to engage in a showdown if demands weren't met.
"Today, I'm only here to eradicate the upper echelons of Pingnan Academy. If the rest of you don't leave, don't blame us for being merciless," Su Zijie paid no heed to Pingnan's Headmaster and addressed those around him.
The Headmaster of Pingnan was unaccustomed to such humiliation. The antagonist was a mere Late Stage Heavenly Martial Realm ant. He immediately charged, his sword in hand.
Seeing that no one intended to withdraw, Su Zijie didn't waste words and ordered his team to attack.
The two Qianqiu Sect's elders stepped forward, one selecting a Peak True Martial realm expert while the others joined the fray one by one.
The Black and White Duo didn't take action, nor did Pingnan's former head. Their strength was sufficient to handle an Early Profound Origin Realm opponent.
At a glance, the battle seemed evenly matched, yet upon closer inspection, it was clear the Su family had the upper hand. The engagement took place in midair, beyond the reach of the students' abilities, who were unable to fly and had to dodge the residual waves. The thought of dying from the aftershocks made them shudder.
