This place still belonged to the Soul Seizing Palace's sphere of influence.
The Shangguan family happened to be close to this area, and Su Yu could not shirk his responsibility.
After three days, Su Yu crossed a long river. Su Yu had a deep impression of this river, as it was called the Ice Sealed River.
Back then, when he had broken through to the Fairy Realm, he had been chased by the Five Golden Light Guards and narrowly escaped death. It was also at this river that he had met Zi Xuan and resolved the crisis.
As he swept his gaze across the river, Su Yu recalled that when he left the Red Blood Palace, Zixuan was nowhere to be seen, and he couldn't even bid farewell to her.
It would be difficult for them to meet again in the future.
Su Yu did not forget that there was a familiar influence near the river. It was the Situ family, which was ranked third, second only to the Shangguan family.
It was thanks to the Situ family that Su Yu was able to enter the Red Blood Palace to train until now.
On the way to the Shangguan Clan, they would have to pass through the Situ Clan's Sky Castle.
Three days later, Su Yu discovered an island that was floating in the sky from afar. Endless waterfalls fell from the Nine Heavens and surged towards the vast land below. It was a magnificent sight.
The Situ family occupied a fairyland in the human world when it came to the spiritual beauty of the mountains.
He did not intend to go to the Situ Clan. Firstly, after half a year, the Situ Clan's Madam might not remember Su Yuxian, a junior. Secondly, time was of the essence, and he had no time to waste in the Situ Clan.
With a thought, Su Yu passed by the castle in the sky.
Just as he was about to leave, a few figures flew towards him.
"Hey, Junior Martial Brother Su, why are you here?" The newcomer's skin was pale and his expression was weak, as if he was suffering from a serious illness.
Su Yu was startled. "Senior Brother Shanliang?"
The person who had just arrived was Bai Shanliang, and he was accompanied by Gongsun Wuxie, who was full of grievances, and a few outer sanctum disciples.
However, Bai Shanliang was not their leader. Instead, it was Palace Mistress Kong Chan who was leading them!
"Greetings, Palace Mistress Kong Chan." Su Yu's heart was moved, but he still wore an indifferent expression as he went forward to greet her.
Palace Mistress Kong Chan was slightly surprised. "Why are you in the Situ Clan? Could it be that you've received Palace Master Hua's order to come to the Situ Clan? "
What was going on? Weren't they supposed to help the Shangguan Clan? Why would Palace Mistress Kong Chan lead her people to the Situ Clan?
Rolling his eyes, Su Yu said, "I'm going to the Shangguan family, and the Situ family is just passing by."
Palace Mistress Kong Chan was enlightened, "So that's how it is. If that's the case, you don't have to go to the Shangguan Clan, just stay with us and guard the Situ Clan."
Without waiting for Su Yu's explanation, Palace Mistress Kong Chan led her people and descended above the Sky Castle.
The mighty momentum shook the entire island.
The people on the island were startled and flew out, while Madam Situ's eyes lit up with delight. She flew out and greeted her respectfully. "Greetings, Palace Mistress Kong Chan. Please forgive me for not welcoming you earlier."
"Let's talk inside," Palace Mistress Kong Chan said as she waved her hand.
The group of ten people entered the island one after another under the reverent gazes of the Situ Family.
"Junior Brother Su, I haven't seen you in four months. I'm in awe of all the earth-shattering things you've done!" Bai Shanliang squeezed over and coughed twice.
Su Yu raised his brows. "Senior Brother Shanliang, you must be joking. In Tianya City, I was just lucky to have met a senior who could help me. How could it be earth-shattering?"
Bai Shanliang shook his head like a rattle-drum. "No, no, no! Senior Brother, you're right! I can't believe you gave a merit worth 3,000,000 merit points to Bing Wuxin! Tsk, tsk, I really couldn't tell that Junior Brother Su was such a hot-blooded person! You actually loved Junior Sister Bing so deeply! "
Su Yu had initially wanted to give the merit points to Bing Wuxin, then flee far away from the faction and never have anything to do with the Red Blood Palace again.
Hence, he had never imagined such a scene.
"Cough, Senior Brother Shanliang, you're overthinking it. Senior Sister Bing is in urgent need of a million merit points, and I don't lack them for the time being, so …" Su Yu explained.
"Ah! That's even more incredible! Senior Brother Su, you didn't hesitate to give up a million merit points just to win the beauty's heart! Such boldness is a role model for all the men in the Red Blood Palace to learn from! "Bai Shanliang said loudly, his eyes filled with longing.
The students who had come with him stared at Su Yu's back with deep respect.
Emperors, kings, and generals loved beauties more than they loved their country.
Su Yu was speechless. He had given the merit points to Bing Wuxin because he didn't need them anymore, and Bing Wuxin was in urgent need of a million.
He hadn't expected such a misunderstanding to occur.
"Senior Brother, you've really misunderstood. My relationship with her isn't …" Su Yu said hurriedly.
Without waiting for him to explain, Bai Shanliang smiled and patted Su Yu's shoulder. "Haha, Junior Brother, you don't need to be in such a hurry to clear your name. Unless you're planning to leave the faction and don't care about merit points, then you can just give away three million merit points. Otherwise, even the inner sanctum's Left and Right Palace Masters wouldn't be able to give away such a huge amount of merit points so easily. "
Su Yu's heart thumped, and he felt slightly guilty. Up until now, no one had noticed that Su Yu was planning to leave the faction except for the smart woman, Xuelian.
If he was exposed, Su Yu would surely be captured and brought back to the faction alive!
At that time, once they started suspecting him, many of his secrets would be exposed.
Su Yu opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.
"Hehe, Junior Brother, when you return to the faction, I suggest that you formally propose marriage to Bing Wuxin's family and make her your fiancée. Only then can you completely put an end to those inner sanctum geniuses' delusions," Bai Shanliang said.
Su Yu laughed dryly. He didn't retort, nor did he agree.
"Humph, he can't wait for that to happen!" Gongsun Wuxie had emerged from the crowd and snorted with her head held high.
In her opinion, all of this was Su Yu's way of getting close to Bing Wuxin.
Su Yu glanced at her. He still couldn't understand why Gongsun Wuxie's attitude toward him was getting worse.
Shaking his head softly, Su Yu said, "Senior Brother Shanliang, didn't the faction send an order for all the people nearby to rush to the Shangguan family? Why did Palace Master Kongchan bring you all to the Situ family?"
Bai Shanliang stroked his chin and said, "Because when we rushed over, the influences that besieged the Shangguan family had already dispersed! We have limited manpower, and some of us have to stay behind to guard the Shangguan family and take care of the many injured people. So, we can't spare more people to search for the traces of the hidden influences. So, Palace Master Kongchan came to the Situ family to borrow some strong men and use their power to search. "
So that was the reason. Hearing that the Shangguan family's crisis had been averted, Su Yu heaved a sigh of relief.
Palace Master Kongchan's borrowing of soldiers was exactly what the Situ family wanted.
How many families would want to give a Deputy Palace Master of the outer sanctum a favor? In the future, if the Situ family needed help, Palace Master Kongchan would surely lend them a hand.
An hour later, the Situ family had lent eighteen late-stage fairies and more than a hundred middle-stage fairies, which was equivalent to more than half of the Situ family's strength.
"Bai Shanliang, Gongsun Wuxie, and Su Yuxian, the three of you will stay in the Situ family. The rest of you, follow me!" Palace Master Kongchan said.
Her purpose here was to make the Situ family feel at ease.
Any family would feel uneasy when half of their strength was borrowed. Leaving Bai Shanliang, the three most outstanding disciples of the outer sanctum, with the Situ family was to make the family feel at ease.
If the most outstanding disciples of the outer sanctum were to stay with the Situ family, what else was there to worry about?
The people of the Situ family looked much more at ease, and they warmly invited Su Yu and the other two to enter.
"Haha, these two must be the Demon Mountain's Eastern Evil and Western Poison. I've heard a lot about you." After watching Palace Master Kongchan leave, Lady Situ personally received Su Yu and the other two.
Her beautiful eyes swept over the three of them, and she immediately recognized Gongsun Wuxie and Bai Shanliang.
Both of them were famous disciples of the outer sanctum, and they had great reputations.
"May I know who this is?" Lady Situ looked at Su Yu, and a sense of unfamiliarity flashed in her eyes. It was as if she had seen him somewhere before.
She had indeed forgotten about Su Yu.
First of all, it had been half a year. How could Lady Situ, who was the head of the family, remember Su Yu?
Second, Su Yu's cultivation had changed greatly. Back then, he was just a kid who had just broken through to the first-grade fairy, but now, he was a sixth-grade fairy.
"I'm Su Yuxian. Nice to meet you, Lady Situ," Su Yu said calmly.
"Su Yuxian …" Lady Situ pondered for a moment, and a figure gradually appeared in her mind. Then, she said in surprise, "It's you? The Su Yuxian who entered the outer sanctum with the first place in the outer sanctum's recruitment assessment half a year ago? "
What she did not say in front of everyone was that Situ Yan had only been able to enter the outer sanctum because of Su Yu's protection. This was a secret between her and Su Yu.
"It's been a long time, Lady Situ," Su Yu said with a smile.
Lady Situ looked Su Yu up and down again, her eyes filled with disbelief. "Unbelievable! In just half a year, your cultivation has reached the sixth-grade fairy!"
She felt even more regret in her heart. Su Yu had shown outstanding talent during the external recruitment assessment. Now, it seemed like he was more than just outstanding. He was obviously a rare genius! If she had kept him in the Situ family earlier, she would have gotten a powerful ally.
"Madam, you flatter me," Su Yu said calmly.
Lady Situ stared at Su Yu and sighed silently. She then beckoned with her hand and said, "Come in, all of you. I'm going to activate the great defensive formation."
Half of the Situ family's strength had been diverted away, so they were at their weakest. Activating the great defensive formation was a targeted move.
Buzz! Buzz!
All of a sudden, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth trembled. The spiritual energy within a radius of ten thousand miles surged toward the Situ family, forming a circular defensive shield.
Under the effect of the formation, the spiritual energy that surged toward them burned and turned into a fireball, engulfing the Situ family.
With the heat emitted by the flames, even the early-stage Almighty might not dare to barge in.
Su Yu took a look at the burning spiritual energy and asked curiously, "Madam, the crystals consumed by the great formation are not a small number, are they?"
Lady Situ had special expectations for Su Yu, unlike Bai Shanliang and Gongsun Wuxie. She smiled sweetly and said, "Yes, to attract such a massive amount of spiritual energy, the spiritual energy consumed is certainly an astronomical figure! Every hour, 100,000 crystals are consumed. In a day, the Situ family's annual income will be depleted. "
"Although the sacrifice is great, the Blessed and Heavenly Lands haven't been peaceful lately. Many families are being threatened by unknown influences. Activating the formation for a day to protect the family's safety is worth it," Lady Situ said. Moreover, they were working for the Red Blood Palace. She believed that the Red Blood Palace would not mistreat the Situ family in this regard.
Su Yu nodded. For some reason, he felt that something was amiss.
Standing before the formation and staring at the burning fireball, Su Yu said, "Senior Brother Shanliang, can you tell me again about what happened to the Shangguan family? There were only a few words in the jade communication pendant."
Bai Shanliang was puzzled. After coughing twice, he said, "According to Cabinet Master Kongchan, a group of extremely powerful, mysterious people attacked the Shangguan family after receiving a distress message from them!"
