I Have A Trillion Protagonist Halos

Chapter 120: Break Through

As Su Zhan calmly watched Chen Jue's terrified and regretful face in death, he felt a sense of tranquility. "You intended to annihilate my entire clan, how could I spare you?"

After collecting all of Chen Jue's treasures, Su Zhan turned his gaze towards the trembling members of the Wu Kingdom's Liu Family, who were all at the half-step Fish-Dragon realm.

"You…"

"Su Zhan, please understand! We, the Liu Family, were completely coerced! We detest Chen Jue, no, that beast, as much as you do!"

"That's right! As members of the martial world, how could we engage in such despicable acts?!"

"It was all Chen Jue, Zhao Fang, and Liu Badao who caused all this trouble!"

"Although we are at the half-step Fish-Dragon realm, you know very well, Su Zhan, that we are nothing compared to Liu Badao, Chen Jue, and Zhao Fang! How could we dare to defy them?" The half-step Fish-Dragon realm elders of the Liu Family immediately dropped to their knees, trembling and begging for mercy.

Even the half-step Fish-Dragon realm individuals from outside the Liu Family hurriedly kneeled as well. Although they were not involved in this matter, everyone kneeled because standing out would attract Su Zhan's attention. If he were to find any reason to vent his anger on them, they would be in tears.

The numerous half-step Fish-Dragon realm figures in the Wu Kingdom, who once wielded great power, were all on edge, waiting for Su Zhan to speak.

Su Zhan looked at the Liu Family members and said, "But I did kill your family's patriarch after all. You must hold a deep hatred for me and yearn for revenge day and night, right? In that case…"

"No!"

Realizing the implication of Su Zhan's words, the Liu Family's eldest elder hurriedly interjected, "We would never dare to seek revenge on Su Zhan! Moreover, Liu Badao committed such heinous acts, betraying the entire eastern martial world. He deserves to be condemned by everyone!"

"Lord Su, you have eliminated the scourge for our Liu Family. On behalf of all the members of the Liu Family, I sincerely express our gratitude to Lord Su!"

"Thank you, Lord Su, for your great kindness and benevolence!"josei

"That's right! We almost became the culprits of the entire martial world. Lord Su, you are truly our benefactor!"

"The gratitude for Lord Su will be eternally remembered!"

"We can only express our gratitude. How could we possibly seek revenge?"

…

The other senior elders of the Liu Family quickly echoed, their will to survive at its peak.

"You still want to thank me?" Su Zhan was taken aback for a moment, then a thought struck him and he smiled, "So, how do you plan to show your gratitude?"

"Our Liu Family has a king-grade longsword that we are willing to offer to Lord Su!"

"And there is also a spiritual stone vein. If Lord Su wants it, feel free to take it!"

"Oh, by the way, our Liu Family owns numerous brothels in the mortal realm! The women inside excel in various arts and talents. We are willing to give all these establishments to Lord Su!"

Although the expressions of gratitude and offers made by the Liu Family were prompted by their desperate desire to survive, when they saw Su Zhan genuinely asking, the senior elder of the Liu Family did not hold back and directly presented a series of offers.

"These are too precious. You should keep them for the Liu Family," Su Zhan said. "But I heard that the Liu Family has something called Heaven-Connecting Martial Ground. How about giving it to me? What do you think?"

The senior elder hesitated, "This…"

"Since you are unwilling, I won't insist. It seems that you do harbor resentment towards me after all. The next step, I suppose, is to plan how to kill me, isn't it?" Su Zhan remarked.

"N-No!"

Everyone from the Liu Family trembled, with the more timid ones even wetting their pants out of fear.

The senior elder of the Liu Family shivered internally, fearing that he might meet the same fate as Liu Badao if he was even a step too slow. He shouted desperately, "The Liu Family is willing to offer the location of Heaven-Connecting Martial Ground to Lord Su as an apology!"

"Are you truly willing? You know, I never force others."

"We are, we truly are! From the bottom of our hearts!"

The senior elder of the Liu Family nodded repeatedly, his expression sincere.

Internally, however, he felt extremely aggrieved. Not forcing them? Indeed, he wasn't forcing them. After all, when a punch was coming their way, what use was there to ask for anything else from the Liu Family?

"In that case, lead me to your location of Heaven-Connecting Martial Ground later," Su Zhan said with a smile.

"Yes, yes!"

The location that was originally planned to be borrowed was now directly offered to him by the deeply moved members of the Liu Family. Su Zhan was in a very pleased mood.

He turned to glance at the other fourteen stone platforms, pondered for a moment, and said, "The Eastern Martial Arts Tournament is supposed to take place once every twenty years. This early convening by Liu Badao was to subdue the powerful forces of each country. Now that Liu Badao is dead, this matter has come to an end. Everyone, you may leave."

"Yes!"

"We will follow Lord Su's instructions!"

"If Lord Su has the leisure, please visit the Xiaochi Kingdom!"

…

One by one, the strong individuals respectfully saluted Su Zhan and departed.

Of course, the people from the Wu Kingdom, Flower Moon Kingdom, and Xia Kingdom remained. The former lacked the courage to leave, while the latter had a unique relationship with Su Zhan.

Empress Ye Qingyu, Qin Jincheng, Chen Changfeng, Li Qingyang, and others flew towards the stone platform where Su Zhan was.

"Su Zhan, you have truly amazed me once again today!" Chen Changfeng patted Su Zhan on the shoulder. "Bringing you into the Sword Sect was truly the wisest decision I've made in my life, hahaha!"

Qin Jincheng was also overjoyed, but soon his smile faded, and he expressed some concerns. "Su Zhan, the Sole Sword Sect is a powerful force. How will we resist if they come after us?"

"How will we resist…" Su Zhan pondered for a moment and said, "In my opinion, the best method is to take the initiative! Besides, the Sole Sword Sect intends to wipe out my entire family. This matter has become a matter of life and death. Chen Jue's belongings contain a map of the route he took to come to the eastern region. In that case, I will personally go to the Sole Sword Sect and resolve this matter."

"You want to go alone against the Sole Sword Sect?"

"Not to confront them, but to reason with them," Su Zhan shook his head. "I believe they will listen to reason."

"The people of the Sole Sword Sect will listen to you reason?" Chen Changfeng and the others looked puzzled.

"What if they don't listen?" Qin Jincheng asked with concern.

"If they don't listen…" Su Zhan pondered for a moment and said seriously, "Then I will have to kill them first and reason with the remaining ones."

Chen Changfeng: "…"

"Well, let's not discuss this matter for now. I'm about to go to the Heaven-Connecting Martial Ground to make a breakthrough to the Fish-Dragon Realm. Elder Chen, Sect Master, I won't accompany you back."

"You want to break through to the Fish-Dragon Realm?"

Chen Changfeng and Qin Jincheng exchanged glances and smiled, "For such a momentous occasion, how can we not have a reason to witness it in person? Besides, although our cultivation may not compare to yours, we can still protect and assist you, preventing any disturbances from demonic beasts or the like."

Li Qingyang also hurriedly spoke, "Lord Su, with your invincible power today and your imminent breakthrough to the Fish-Dragon Realm, I will do my utmost to protect and assist you, ensuring that no person or demonic beast will disturb you!"

Empress Ye Qingyu smiled lightly, "For such a grand event, how could I be absent? I have entrusted the affairs of the kingdom to my ministers, so there should be no concerns in the near future. If Lord Su Zhan doesn't mind, I would also like to witness the extraordinary style of Lord Su's breakthrough to the Fish-Dragon Realm!"

"The Empress jests. In that case, let us depart together."

Having finished collecting the belongings of Liu Badao and Zhao Fang, Su Zhan boarded the white jade boat and set off towards the Fish-Dragon Realm of the Liu Family in Wu Kingdom.

…

Outside the Celestial Mountains.

In the Tianxuan Empire, the Southern Territory, and the Nine Lakes County.

As one of the most powerful forces within a range of thousands of miles in Nine Lakes County, the Sole Sword Sect's architectural complex alone spanned an area of over a hundred miles.

The sect's influence extended over a radius of three thousand miles, and hundreds of families, sects, and other forces had to pay tribute to the Sole Sword Sect each year to survive!

At this moment.

Sole Sword Sect's main hall.

Chen Ye, the Sect Master who had reached the pinnacle of the third transformation of the Fish-Dragon Realm, stared at the shadow pearl in his hand, watching the displayed images above.

"Hmph! This land of the eastern region barbarians is truly filled with rats. That Su Zhan was arrogant just a moment ago, but as soon as he heard about my intention to wipe out his entire family, he immediately stopped. It's obvious that he was fearful and panicked, yet he still tried to act unyielding. Truly laughable!" Seeing Su Zhan pause after Chen Jue threatened to exterminate his family, Chen Ye sneered.

Standing below, an elder who had come to report affairs saw this scene and nodded, laughing as he watched the images on the shadow pearl. "These barbarians are all weaklings, naturally born to be slaves. Where would they truly dare—him, him!"

Seeing the scene of Su Zhan striking with a punch, the elder of the Sole Sword Sect's eyes widened in disbelief and exclaimed, "He dares to kill the young master?!"
