In the cultivation world, life and death were viewed lightly.
Although the explosion in Four Seas City had resulted in more than a thousand deaths, Su Xiyu's birthday banquet continued as normal.
For Four Seas City which had a population of more than three billion, the number of normal and unnatural deaths exceeded three hundred thousand every day!
If not for Fiend Monarch Devil Face's ninth-grade Thunderbolt Fiery Thunder, it was normal for Four Seas City to have a thousand deaths.
"Welcome, Your Highness the Crown Prince, Fourth Prince."
"Welcome, Young Master Qin."
When Qin Yang and company arrived, the Su family naturally had people to welcome them. Furthermore, it was Su Xiyu's grandfather, Su Gu, who personally welcomed them.
"Greetings, Old Master Su."
"Old Master Su!"
Qin Yang and company greeted him with a smile and lowered their posture.
"Eh —"
Suddenly, an old man behind the Crown Prince exclaimed. He looked at Su Gu in surprise. "Daoist Su Gu, have you broken through to the ninth-grade realm?"
"Heh heh, that's right. I just broke through two days ago!"
Su Gu said with a smile.
Upon hearing Su Gu's words, many people around hurriedly congratulated him. Some of the guests' smiles widened.
With Su Gu's breakthrough, the Su family's strength was even stronger.
"Old Master Su, this is a double blessing for the Su family. Now that you have broken through to the ninth-grade realm, I wonder if there will be a wedding banquet?"
The Crown Prince said with a chuckle.
"If there is, we will definitely invite Your Highness."
Su Gu smiled as he welcomed Qin Yang and company into the Su family. He welcomed them to the residence of Su Gu's faction.
As a powerful eighth-grade faction, the Su family's residence spanned thousands of square kilometers. Those who lived there were all descendants of the Su family, numbering more than a hundred thousand!
In addition, there were two hundred thousand guards with decent strength in the Su family residence.
Su Jincheng was the head of the family. He had siblings and uncles above him. Su Jincheng had more than ten sons. Su Gu's faction was only a small part of it. However, Su Gu's cultivation was at the eighth-grade ninth level. Furthermore, Su Xiyu had brought great benefits to the Su family. Su Gu's faction occupied quite a large area.
"Third Brother is impressive this time!"
"Isn't that so? Qin Yang is vying to marry Su Xiyu's Crown Prince. He has also broken through to the ninth-grade realm! "
"Big Brother, if this goes on, I'm afraid that when the time comes for the Su Family's Patriarch position —"
The three members of the Su Clan gathered together and discussed with voice transmissions. The three of them were Su Gu's brothers. One of them, a purple-robed elder, was Su Gu's eldest brother.
Now that the Su Family's overall strength had become stronger, everyone had gained more benefits.
But within the Su family, some people were not particularly happy, such as Su Gu's eldest brother, Su Qian.
Su Qian also had a cultivation of Rank Eight Level Nine. His strength and talent were still very strong. In the past, his faction's strength was far above Su Gu's faction. However, a few days ago, Su Xiyu displayed her powerful business ability, which brought great benefits to the Su family. Su Gu's faction's strength was gradually not weaker than Su Qian's faction.
Now that Su Gu had broken through to Level Nine, Su Qian could clearly feel that some people in the family had changed their minds. Su Gu's faction had already suppressed his faction.
"Big Brother, if we don't take action, I'm afraid Su Gu will have the final say in the Su family in the future!"
"Big Brother, we have to think of something!"
The other two transmitted their voices to Su Qian. One of them was Su Qian's blood brother and shared the same father and mother, while the other had a very good relationship with Su Qian.
Su Qian's eyes flickered.
Indeed, he had to think of something.
Su Qian knew that his chances of becoming the Su family's head in the future were very low. The position of the Su family's head was usually passed down from one generation to the next. It was passed down from grandfather to grandson. If he did not take action, there was a high probability that the position of the Su family's head would be passed down to Su Xiyu's father.
Su Xiyu's father, Su Zhanfeng, had already reached the Dharma Physique realm. His cultivation of Level Two Dharma Physique was not low. In terms of his strength and talent, there was no problem for him to take charge of the Su family in the future.
Su Gu was already Rank Nine, while Su Xiyu was a business prodigy. If he had the support of the Crown Prince or Qin Yang, Su Zhanfeng had a great chance of becoming the Su family's head in the future.
"Big Brother, we can't hesitate any longer."
"Big Brother, the people in the family are wavering. If we delay any longer, it will be too late even if we take action!"
The two people beside Su Qian persuaded him.
"Big Brother, we have already prepared for three years. Although the time is still a little short, it is almost there."
"Yes, Big Brother. There won't be a problem!"
Su Qian took a deep breath and nodded his head.
Indeed, they could not delay any longer. Su Gu's faction was developing too quickly. If they delayed any longer, Su Gu's faction would become even stronger. Even if the position of the Su family's head did not land on Su Zhanfeng's head, it might land on the heads of other people in Su Gu's faction.
Whether or not the Su family's head belonged to their faction was related to great benefits.
…
In another place of the Su family, Su Zhanfeng and his wife were also greeting guests. The smile on Su Zhanfeng's face never disappeared.
Although Su Zhanfeng and his wife had not succeeded in having another child ever since he was injured four years ago, Su Xiyu made them very proud.
Now that the coming-of-age ceremony was held, the guests were as numerous as the clouds. Moreover, there were many important guests!
"Brother Zhanfeng, congratulations!"
"Brother Zhanfeng, it's a pity. Our family's boys used to like Xiyu a lot, but our family's boys can't match up to your family's Xiyu now."
"Brother Zhanfeng, you must drink a few more cups later!"
Another group of people were welcomed. They were all important figures. Su Zhanfeng chuckled and chatted with them.
At this moment.
"Pfft!"
Su Zhanfeng suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. His face turned pale in an extremely short period of time. Then, Su Zhanfeng fell straight to the ground and fainted.
"Brother Zhanfeng!"
"Someone, someone come quickly!"
"Are there any powerful apothecaries? Quickly treat him."
The surrounding people had a drastic change in expression. Someone quickly helped Su Zhanfeng up, someone quickly examined him, and someone shouted loudly.
"Make way, make way!"
The Su family had an eighth-grade apothecary. Soon, the apothecary who received the news rushed over and immediately began examining Su Zhanfeng.
However, after examining for two to three minutes, the eighth-grade apothecary could not determine the cause of Su Zhanfeng's accident.
It seemed to be related to his old injuries, but it was definitely impossible for Su Zhanfeng to fall unconscious just because of his old injuries from four years ago.
"If you can't do it, make way. Let me take a look."
"If I can't do it, my senior brother will do it!"
"If my senior brother still can't do it, my master will do it!"
At this moment, a somewhat arrogant voice sounded. Everyone looked at the young man who spoke. Some people were originally dissatisfied, but when they saw the young man, they immediately swallowed their words.
"So it's Young Master Hua. Then I'll have to trouble Young Master Hua."
"Young Master Hua is a master apothecary. There should be no problem."
"Sorry to trouble you, Young Master Hua!"
Several people around spoke. The eighth-grade apothecary who was treating Su Zhanfeng also stepped aside. This young man was called Lu Shaohua. He was in his thirties and had the cultivation of the Nascent Soul realm. His cultivation talent was not very high, but in terms of alchemy, he was extremely talented and was now an eighth-grade apothecary!
Lu Shaohua's master had a great background. He was a ninth-grade apothecary and had only taught four disciples in his life. The first three were all ninth-grade apothecaries!
His master, eldest senior brother, second senior brother, and third senior brother were all ninth-grade apothecaries. Lu Shaohua's background was extremely strong!
Even if it was the crown prince of the Sacred Empire, Gong Yucang, Lu Shaohua did not dare to give face to him. Although their sect only had a few people and was not a ninth-grade force, they were that powerful.
Lu Shaohua went to Su Zhanfeng's side. He placed his finger on Su Zhanfeng's wrist and checked him. Half a minute later, Lu Shaohua stood up.
"Where's Qin Yang? I went into seclusion for a period of time. I heard that a powerful young man appeared during this period of time. He might be even more powerful than me in alchemy. "
"I specially came here today to take a look."
Lu Shaohua said proudly.
