After thinking for a moment, Su Yu said, "Let's fight for it tomorrow. If we can't convince the Shangguan Family's Master, we will settle for the next best thing, which is to enter the Soul Seizing Palace."
With Elder Liao's help, it wouldn't be difficult for Su Yu and Yuan Yingying to join the outer sanctum.
The only regret was that all of the Soul Seizing Palace's inner sanctum elders knew what Su Yu looked like, and they knew that he was extremely dangerous.
It seemed that he needed to change his appearance and disguise himself.
After preparing his escape route, Su Yu's mind was calm.
The next morning.
They had already been invited by the maidservants to the reception hall, where only the head of the Shangguan family and his son and daughter were present.
"Everyone, what do you think?" The Shangguan Family Master looked at the four of them and calmly swept his gaze across them. He only felt slightly apologetic towards Zhang Fan.
He was the one who was affected the most.
The rest of the people looked at each other helplessly. Seventeen of them were willing to stay in the Shangguan Clan. Of course, there were only ten slots. After they left, they would definitely be tested by the Shangguan Clan.
Zhang Fan's eyes shone brightly. "Shangguan Clan Head, if you can give me a chance, I will serve the Shangguan Clan for ten years if I am successful in the future. I will swear an oath to prove it."
The Shangguan Family Head was startled. He didn't expect Zhang Fan to not give up yet, but he couldn't do anything about it.
"You only have two choices, leave, or join the Shangguan Clan." The Shangguan Clan Chief rejected the suggestion.
Zhang Fan's eyes darkened and a bitter smile appeared on his face. "Alright, I'll stay."
His future was severed just like that.
"What about you?" the Shangguan Family's Master asked as he looked at Su Yu and Yuan Yingying.
Shangguan Yunque sighed. He was too ashamed to look at Su Yu's eyes.
Su Yu felt helpless. Even Zhang Fan's promise couldn't change the Shangguan Family's Master's mind, let alone them.
"Shangguan Family's Master, many thanks for your good intentions. We have troubled you for coming here, so we will take our leave now." Su Yu's words were concise and comprehensive. If he contacted Elder Liao now, he might still be able to enter the Soul Seizing Palace.
Choose to leave? The Shangguan Clan Master said, "Wait, my son is indebted to you. If you are willing to stay, there will be an important position for you."
Su Yu cupped his fists at her, then pulled Yuan Yingying along as he turned around and left the hall.
The Shangguan Family's Master felt that it was a pity, as his son had already told him that Su Yu possessed a mysterious technique that could kill even a Level Six Fairy in a single night. As for that lassie, she was a talented person who could refine fourth-grade spirit elixirs. If she had stayed with the Shangguan Family, she would have been a great help to them.
A group of brightly dressed young men and women stood outside the guest hall. They were well-dressed and had an extraordinary temperament.
Many of them had good cultivations, and there was even a Level Three Fairy Realm youngster among them. He was only eighteen years old, and he was probably one of the Shangguan family's outstanding people.
They were waiting leisurely outside, and when they saw that Su Yu and Yuan Yingying were the first to come out, they heaved sighs of relief.
It turned out that they were worried that the Shangguan Clan Master would return the recommendation quota to them out of benevolence.
"Phew! It seems like there isn't any problem. Family Master, you are truly a righteous person." A Three Crystals Half Fairy Realm young girl curled up the corners of her mouth, while delight appeared on her face.
The Level Three Fairy Realm youth, who was the leader of the group, looked at Su Yu and Shangguan Yue arrogantly and said, "Only the one with the surname Zhang is passable. As for the others, they will just be wasting their time. Why don't we let our Shangguan family's younger generation have a try? We don't owe them anything."
Su Yu and Xue Ying were only at the Three Crystals Half Fairy Realm, so he didn't care about them at all.
Su Yu looked straight ahead and turned a deaf ear to them. He didn't pay any attention to them at all.
His attitude seemed to agitate the boys and girls.
"Look at that old man. It seems like he isn't willing to accept it." A young girl stared at Su Yu with displeasure.
"It's only human nature. If I were in his place, I would also be unwilling to accept it. Even if I understood that participating in the test would be a waste."
"Oh? Is he the strange examinee whose lifespan was greatly reduced? Even though he was only eighteen years old, he looked like he was eighty years old. Tsk, tsk. Even if he participated in the test, he still wouldn't welcome him. "
Swoosh!
All of a sudden, a cool breeze blew over from the guest hall, and three slaps echoed out.
Slap! Slap!
Slap! A red palm print was left on the faces of the three boys and girls, who had just spoken harshly.
Before they could get angry, a man clad in a white robe appeared in front of them with his hands clasped behind his back. His cold eyes were filled with disappointment.
"Ignorant people are fearless!" Shangguan Yunque scolded them in a deep voice. "You took their quota without any qualms, yet you don't know how to apologize? My Shangguan family's reputation has already been ruined by you. "
The Level Three Fairy Realm youth said, "Big brother, he was the one who looked down on us first. My three brothers and sisters were displeased, so they used harsh words. Please forgive them."
Shangguan Yunque glanced at him and said calmly, "I know brother Su's character better than you do. Moreover, even if he looks down on you, he still has the right to look down on you. You should regret that you lost a powerful helper who could help you in this test."
He was clearly aware that Su Yu had many unimaginable tricks up his sleeves, as he had personally witnessed the Elixir Production Alliance's destruction in a single night.
Shangguan Fei's expression froze as he wondered … Does a trifling Half Fairy really have the right to look down on us?
"Big brother, you must be joking. As long as I'm here, I will surely be able to protect our family's brothers and sisters and get through the test. Even if I'm not here, our family has still invited many helpers, and they will help us when the time comes.
Shangguan Yunque glanced at them and shook his head calmly. Summer insects can't talk about ice.
As he brushed past them, Shangguan Yunque went over to Su Yu and cupped his fists at him. His face was filled with shame as he said, "Brother Su, I'm sorry, but the family's will is firm, and I wasn't able to persuade my father. You have come here in vain."
Su Yu revealed a faint smile. "Brother Shangguan, you don't need to blame yourself, as I understand your intentions."
Shangguan Yunque's character was still worthy of praise.
"It's all thanks to you that I'm still alive, and I can't repay you for your kindness. So, I'll give you the Blue Water Nine Heaven Wings to protect yourself." Shangguan Yunque was quite forthright as he gave Su Yu a pair of exquisite wings that were a foot long.
They were snow-white and lifelike, as if they were really living creatures.
Yuan Yingying's eyes widened in shock. Such a single-use spiritual artifact was worth more than 100,000 spirit crystals, and even Shangguan Yunque wouldn't be willing to use it!
Yet, he was now giving it to Su Yu!
Shock appeared on the faces of the Shangguan juniors, who were standing in the distance. They all wondered … How could he give such a precious item to Su Yu so easily?
Su Yu was startled by this, and he hesitated for a moment.
Shangguan Yunque then stuffed it into Su Yu's hands and said, "Brother Su, the recent situation is quite strange, and your journey back home won't be peaceful. So, you must accept this spiritual artifact, which can help you escape. Only then can I feel at ease."
When Su Yu felt Shangguan Yunque's sincerity, he accepted it and took a look at him, while inwardly remembering his kindness.
"We will meet again in the future."
"Take care of yourself."

After Su Yu left the giant island, he looked in the direction of the Blue Mountain Range and prepared to go back.
Suddenly, he raised his brows and opened his spatial ring in surprise.
A purple badge fell into his palm.
He had gotten the Severed Fairy Cliff's purple badge from Xiao Tao.
At this moment, the badge was trembling slightly and emitting a purple halo.
All of a sudden, a light flickered on the badge, while a line of small words appeared on it.
"The previous host has already died. The new host, please accept the test mission."
This badge would only become a true Severed Fairy Cliff's identity badge after it passed a test. At that time, its owner's name would be engraved on it.
Xiao Tao had been hiding in the Yuan family for many years in order to carry out the test mission.
However, it was a pity that her efforts were in vain, as Su Yu had discovered her and killed her.
It seemed like Xiao Tao's death had already been discovered by the Severed Fairy Cliff, which was why they had issued a new test mission to the badge.
"A test mission to become a member of the Severed Fairy Cliff?" Su Yu was speechless. He had never thought about becoming a member of the Severed Fairy Cliff.
At this moment, the purple light flickered once again and two lines of small words appeared on it.
"Test mission: Protect the Situ family's juniors and pass the Red Blood Palace's test. If you succeed in protecting one person, the mission will be considered completed. Mission requirements: You must be below twenty years old and qualified to participate in the test. You must be at least a Grade Three Fairy. You are allowed to bring at most three people to help you. If you meet the requirements, please hurry to the Sky Castle within three days. "
Su Yu was stunned. A mission from the Severed Fairy Cliff?
Moreover, it seemed like it was being issued to many people at the same time.
Yuan Yingying was surprised. "The Severed Fairy Cliff's badge? Brother Su, why do you have it? "
Su Yu explained the situation to her briefly, and only then did she understand. Her eyes became filled with curiosity as she said, "I've heard about the badge's miraculous effects. This mission seems to be an urgent one. Brother Su, why don't we participate in it?"
Su Yu's eyes lit up as he looked at the mission. "There's always a way. I think we still have a chance to enter the Red Blood Palace."

A day later, the Shangguan family's envoy left with the people who were going to participate in the test. However, a small incident occurred.
Zhang Fan was accidentally discovered by the envoy, who then took him away to participate in the test.
Because of this, the Shangguan family had to bear the brunt of the envoy's anger.
It was said that after the envoy left, everyone in the Shangguan family, including the Family Master and the maidservants, suffered from diarrhea for an entire day.
—
On the same day …
Outside the giant island, a group of martial artists, which shone with a golden light, descended.
"They have already left. We will surely catch up to them within two days," the leader of the group said calmly.
All of a sudden, the five people disappeared into thin air.
The Shangguan family's master, who was a middle-stage Divine Master, was completely unaware of this.
Two days later, in the Sky Castle …
The so-called Sky Castle wasn't really a castle, but a strange region in the Zhenlong Continent.
Since ancient times, this vast region had been separated from the continent, and it had floated in the sky for countless months. Hence, it was called the Sky Castle.
This region was occupied by the Situ family, and its territory was only slightly weaker than the Shangguan family's.
The Situ family was ranked just behind the Ximen family, and it was a superpower that was ranked fourth in the rankings.
After Su Yu arrived at the Sky Castle, he went to a desolate land called the Heavenly Sword Valley.
Before coming here, Su Yu and Yuan Yingying had concealed their appearances slightly.
When they arrived, there were already six people in the valley. They were divided into two groups, and they were all disguised.
It was obvious that they had received the news and rushed over to take the test. They were all going to become purple members of the Severed Fairy Cliff.
His arrival made the two groups become slightly vigilant.
The three groups maintained a tacit understanding, and they didn't utter a single word as they waited for their next orders.
Swoosh!
All of a sudden, a figure silently appeared above the valley.
He was wearing a white mask, and his whole body was engulfed by Vital Energy.
