After all, those abnormal creatures from the other worlds could probably sweep through higher-level sea areas in such a long time.
If he did not hurry up and increase his strength, he would definitely be beaten up by others after going to a higher level sea area.
As for the treasure chest, Su Yu was prepared to polish his basic combat strength to the low-rank King Realm before plundering the treasure chests in the sea creatures.
This was because the combat power of a King’s Realm expert was considered a threshold in a Level 1 sea area. If anything unexpected happened, it would be easier for Su Yu to escape.
While Su Yu was driving the Ghost Ship straight to the sea area of the Beastman Dynasty, an uninvited guest came to the Great Zhou Dynasty.
“Miss, Ji Yanran is here.” In the small courtyard on the fifth floor of the Myriad Commerce Association, a guard Martial Grandmaster spoke with a strange expression.
“Pfft.” Upon hearing the guard Martial Grandmaster’s words, Ji Ruoyan spat out a mouthful of tea.
“Who invited her here?” After composing herself, Ji Ruoyan slammed her palm on the table and asked in a deep voice.
“I don’t know. In addition, she seems to have brought a prodigy with her, Wu Jian, who is ranked among the top 5,000 of the sea area prodigy rankings.”
Upon seeing her temper, the guard Martial Grandmaster continued to report the situation in a low voice.
“Hmph, it must be someone from the First Elder. Where is that woman now?” After snorting angrily, Ji Ruoyan suppressed her anger and asked directly.
“They’re in the Wanxian Restaurant now. It’s probably because it’s already late today, so they didn’t come over directly. They’ll probably come to the commerce association tomorrow.”
“Alright, you can leave first!” Upon hearing that, Ji Ruoyan waved her hand.
The guard, Martial Grandmaster then left the courtyard.
Ji Ruoyan’s expression turned ugly.
“The First Elder’s faction just won’t give up, will they? That damn woman is definitely here for Sir Su.”
Ji Ruoyan didn’t even need to think to know why Ji Yanran came to the Myriad Commerce Association.
It was obvious that the other party was here to play tricks. There’s a possibility that they wanted to rely on Ji Yanran to pull Sir Su to their side.
Ji Ruoyan knew this very well.
In a clan like the Ji Clan, which was even larger than a dynasty, the factional conflict was much more intense than the competition for the throne.
The King Realm Ancestors that were in secluded cultivation had no intention of stopping this situation. After all, if a clan didn’t even have the ability to compete at times and was like a pool of stagnant water, then that clan was probably headed straight to extinction.
As for uniting and developing together, when a certain faction developed to a certain extent, there would definitely be a situation where power was divided. After all, not everyone wanted to be subordinate to others.
It was not uncommon for them to fight openly and covertly within the same family.
Due to the long lifespan of cultivators, they had countless descendants. The family relationship was also extremely indifferent. If not for the benefits involved, many people would have left and established their own family.
“I have to privately inform Father of this news.” After some thought, Ji Ruoyan planned to send a secret message.
At this moment, in the luxurious private room of the Wanxian Restaurant, a woman in a low-cut purple dress was drinking with a young man in luxurious clothes.
These two people were none other than Ji Yanran and Wu Jian, whom the guard Martial Grandmaster had mentioned.
“Sir Wu has a good tolerance for alcohol.” Ji Yanran stood up and poured Wu Jian another glass of wine.
Looking at the snow-white scenery in front of him, Wu Jian’s blood energy could not help but surge, and his breathing could not help but quicken.
If it wasn’t for the old woman standing beside Ji Yanran, Wu Jian probably wouldn’t have been able to control his hand.
“Miss Yanran, you’re too polite. It’s my honor to be able to travel with you this time.” After forcefully suppressing the fire in his heart, Wu Jian put on the airs of an elegant young man and spoke calmly.
Hearing this, Ji Yanran couldn’t help but feel a trace of disdain.
If it weren’t for the fact that she had to use Wu Jian to get close to his elder brother, Wu Yan, Ji Yanran wouldn’t have bothered with him.
Ji Yanran had indeed come to the Great Zhou Dynasty with a goal. Her goal was indeed as Ji Ruoyan had guessed. She wanted to find out Su Yu’s background so that she could win him over.
After the two of them ate and drank to their heart’s content, Ji Yanran and Wu Jian also returned to their respective rooms. The cliched night plot did not happen.
“Granny Rong, do you think we can get in touch with Wu Yan through Wu Jian?” After Ji Yanran had returned to her room, she asked the old woman beside her with a meaningful expression.
“Miss Yanran, with your ability, I believe Wu Jian will soon become your subordinate. At that time, it shouldn’t be a problem for you to come into contact with Wu Yan. However, the two brothers, Wu Yan and Wu Jian, have an extremely good relationship, so you have to control yourself.”
Hearing Ji Yanran’s question, Granny Rong replied in a low voice.
“We’ll talk about that later. Also, what do you think of the prodigy who has suddenly appeared by Ji Ruoyan’s side recently?”
Putting aside Wu Jian’s matter, Ji Yanran directly shifted the topic to Su Yu.
“There’s too little information. However, from the information revealed by the First Elder, he should be a hidden prodigy. He’s not recorded on the prodigy rankings. I just don’t know how high the other party will rank on the prodigy rankings.”
Ji Ming had not sent back the information that Su Yu had comprehended the rules overnight and had an aptitude comparable to a sage. Therefore, the people in the Ji Clan could only analyze according to the information that Ji Ming had sent back previously.
This was because Ji Ming belonged to the same lineage as Ji Ruoyan, which was the main lineage. He naturally knew some things and could not let people from other factions know.
Previously, Su Yu was an Enlightened Martial Grandmaster and his blood energy was like that of a pure-blooded flood dragon. It was not a big problem to tell him this information.
However, later on, when Su Yu displayed an even more heaven-defying aptitude, Ji Ming immediately chose to hide this information. This was to prevent some people who were jealous from taking the risk of offending a titled Martial King to bring disaster to the Ji Clan.
Because of Su Yu’s appearance, the conflict between the many factions in the Ji Clan gradually began.
Meanwhile, in a room in the Wanxian Restaurant where Wu Jian stayed, his expression was no longer the same as before.
“As expected of the famous social butterfly of the Ji Clan. I almost fell into her trap. Fortunately, I have the Heart-Clearing Bead that big brother gave me.” There was a trace of lingering fear on Wu Jian’s face.
‘That stupid b*tch actually wants to bewitch me. I’ll make sure she regrets this! Wu Jian cursed in his heart and decided that he would definitely make Ji Yanran suffer in the future.
As a disciple of a large clan, although Wu Jian was not as talented as his brother, Wu Yan, he was still considered a prodigy. Otherwise, he would not have been accepted into the prodigy rankings.
Moreover, to be able to stand out from the big families, Wu Jian was not the kind of hedonistic son who indulged in alcohol and women all day long. When they were eating just now, he was only momentarily tempted because Ji Yanran secretly used some methods. Otherwise, Wu Jian would not have almost fallen for it.
With Wu Jian’s age of less than 35 years old, he had entered the Martial Grandmaster realm and was considered to have just stepped into the threshold of a sea area genius.
Although 35 years old might sound old, the lifespan of a Martial Grandmaster was as long as 1,000 years. In other words, a 35 years old Martial Grandmaster was still considered a child.
In any case, those who could enter the Martial Grandmaster Realm before the age of 200 were all called the younger generation.
On the other hand, Su Yu’s lifespan was even longer. After tempering his body with various powers and undergoing a life transition, his lifespan was longer than that of turtle-type demon beasts of the same level. At the Martial Lord realm, Su Yu had a lifespan of ten thousand years.
It couldn’t be helped. The cultivation speed of a cheater was far from what native creatures could compare to.
If native creatures caught up to him even as he used cheats, Su Yu would feel that he was simply hopeless.
As time passed, with Su Yu’s cultivation speed, the people who could deal with him later would only be those old powers or heaven-defying prodigies who had descended from other worlds..
