"What! This... this is actually a Xianyu!"
Old Emperor Xue Chen was instantly unsettled. As the emperor of the Xue clan, he deeply understood what Xianyu meant. It was a treasure on par with his Sea Cucumber Scepter, and some Xianyu were even superior.
"Damn it, if I had known this brat would be so troublesome, I would have considered other methods..." Xue Chen sighed. Considering the future of the Xue clan, it was bound to rest on Su Han's shoulders. Either he would be taken in as a son-in-law of the royal family, which was Xue Chen's initial plan, or he would be eliminated and the Great Emperor's inheritance seized.
However, Xue Chen, having taken the second step, now realized that Su Han was like a stone in a latrine – both smelly and hard. Moreover, this time, Su Han had been thoroughly offended. The people he had killed nearby were those who had come with Su Han, and one of them, Elder Jing, seemed to have a very good relationship with Su Han.
"Sigh..."
With a sigh, Xue Chen immediately asked Elder Ye beside him, "Elder Ye, please tell me, is there any way to break this Xianyu? Or, how should we deal with this brat now?"
Elder Ye shrugged and shook his head.
"Xianyu is called Xianyu because it is used by figures of the Great Emperor level for cultivation. Do you think they would use this thing if it weren't extremely safe? Therefore, with our strength, we cannot break it. Unless someone possesses the strength of a Great Emperor and wields the Sea God's Scepter simultaneously, they can try. But that's impossible! Unless you can invite that monster from the Ye clan right now. That guy seems to be on the verge of becoming a Great Emperor, hehe..."
Upon hearing this.
Old Emperor Xue Chen became even more worried. That monster from the Ye clan was like a cultivation fanatic. His strength had advanced by leaps and bounds over the decades, with almost no stagnation.
Now, hearing Elder Ye say that he was close to achieving Great Emperor status, Xue Chen's heart became even more unsettled. He knew that this was undoubtedly bad news for the Xue clan.
"Elder Ye, is there really no way? If this brat escapes, the Xue clan will be in danger!!!"
What Xue Chen said was not false. If Su Han were allowed to escape this time, the consequences would be unimaginable. Not to mention anything else, just the Great Emperor's inheritance alone could turn Su Han into a terrifying existence with billions of combat power. If the Xue clan had no corresponding means by then, it would be a catastrophe for the entire Xue clan!
"There is a way, not entirely impossible..."
Elder Ye hesitated, stammering, his brows furrowed into a deep frown.
"Elder Ye, you say it. As long as there's a way to deal with this brat, even if we don't get the Great Emperor's inheritance, it's fine..."
"Oh? It's good that you can think that way!"
Elder Ye then pointed to a direction in the distance and said faintly, "The only way now is to push this brat, along with the Xianyu, into the abyss of the endless sea. No matter how capable he is, I doubt he can escape that endless abyss... That is the end of the star path, the desert of space. Once you enter the endless sea and fall into the abyss, even gods will only be worn down by time and have no other outcome!"
"This..."
Xue Chen felt a sense of emptiness. After all, if that were the case, he would not get any of Su Han's Great Emperor inheritance. Moreover, this Xianyu was a treasure no less than the Sea Cucumber Scepter. If he could capture both the Xianyu and Su Han, it would be the foundation for the Xue clan to turn things around!
"Alas, if I had known this brat was so strong, I would have used gentle methods and calculated carefully!" Old Emperor Xue Chen regretted it. If he had known earlier that Su Han possessed so many good treasures, enough to survive under his hands, he would never have resorted to such aggressive methods.
But unfortunately, there was no turning back!
Now.
Looking at Su Han in front of him, Xue Chen could only plan accordingly!
"Fine, let's follow Elder Ye's suggestion and push this brat into the abyss of the endless sea. Let's consider it a fresh start!"
Although he sighed, Xue Chen also knew that if Su Han were to recover from his injuries inside and fully inherit the Great Emperor's legacy, he would become a figure like the next Great Emperor. In that case, the Xue clan would be in dire straits!
Xue Chen did not want to take that risk, nor did he dare to!
But at this moment!
Upon hearing that Su Han was to be pushed into the endless sea, Crown Prince Xue Yuan immediately disagreed!
"Your Majesty, please wait. I believe there must be other ways. From my observation, although this brat is difficult to deal with, he is not someone who seeks trouble. If we appeal to his emotions and reason, perhaps we can reach some agreement with him... For example, giving him a position of honor, and perhaps he will change his mind..."
"Position of honor!"
Old Emperor Xue Chen was immediately annoyed. His daughter was truly ignorant of the world!
"Xue Yuan, do you think your father is unwilling to give him a position of honor? What kind of position of honor do you think can make this brat let the Xue clan go? Hmph, womanly kindness will only make you lose your mind, and a single misstep will harm our entire Xue clan. Have you considered these things?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Xue Yuan's eyes welled up with tears. After all, she had been hoping that after ascending the throne, Su Han would become her husband. But now, after Xue Chen's words, she found it difficult to accept.
"Father, please reconsider. If I succeed to the throne in the future, giving him the position of Emperor, plus making him the son-in-law of the Xue clan, I don't think he will refuse. I have investigated this brat's information, and he is a complete pervert. I can guarantee to Father that he will not kill everyone!"
Xue Yuan's words made Old Emperor Xue Chen uncomfortable!
He might believe that Su Han would not kill everyone, but Su Han would definitely seek revenge. Xue Chen himself was the first target of revenge. At that time, others might survive, but he, Xue Chen, would surely die.
"Hmph! This matter is not up for discussion. My mind is made up!"
With that, Xue Chen immediately ordered his men to carry Su Han away and throw him into the abyss of the endless sea. But at this moment, Elder Ye beside him said again, "Perhaps, there is still one way!"
"What way?"
"Give this brat to the Ye clan as a token of submission! I think that monster, using the Ye clan's divine artifact, has a way to open this Xianyu. At that time, he will surely die. And the Xue clan can use this as an exchange, marrying into the Ye clan. Then the two clans will become in-laws, wouldn't that be..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xue Yuan immediately refused!
"No! I don't want to marry that monster. He, Ye Wushuang, is a scumbag, a pervert!"
