her bright eyes twinkling as she smiled and said, "Young Master Yun, don't forget our promise.""Agreement"Yunhao was a little confused.Ling'er flashed a sweet smile and said, "That's right, didn't I t...Yunhao returned to the inn.

But then, I saw a handsome young man, accompanied by two guards, waiting at the inn's entrance.

People passing by would unconsciously focus their eyes on that handsome man.

Met Yunhao.

A handsome young man immediately strode forward and bowed: “Young Master Hongchen, I am Su Yao from the Su family. I have come to specially invite Young Master Hongchen to be our guest at our Su family home. The head of the house has already ordered some wine and food prepared in anticipation of your arrival.”

Yun Hao's eyes flashed.

Yesterday, the head of the Su family, Su Haiming, personally invited Yun Hao to visit their home.

Today, someone was sent to formally invite me again.

This is truly heartfelt!

He had been in Tianshou City for some time, and naturally, he had heard of Su Yao's name.

This person is the most outstanding young man in Su family of Tianbao City. His reputation is excellent, and at the age of twenty, his martial arts cultivation has already reached the threshold of the Transformation Realm.

And.

It is said that Su Yao showed extraordinary talent in the art of Yuan since he was young.

It's unclear why.

However, Su Yao did not choose the path of a source master!

Not only Su Yao, but among the younger generation of the Su family, few have chosen the path of a source master!

The Su family, a renowned lineage with a history spanning three thousand years, is perceived by many as entering a period of decline, beginning with the current generation, Su Yao.

Others don't know the reason.

But Yun Hao, in fact, already knew roughly some things.

The current prosperity of Tianbao City is merely superficial.

Tianyubao City, because of its use of source arts, touched upon taboos that were beyond their capabilities, leading to extremely severe consequences.

The Su family has only temporarily concealed the severity of these consequences, keeping them from being known to outsiders.

This, in fact, is a common occurrence for the Yuan Shi family.

It's not just the Su family like this.

Looking at the entire world of cultivation, most source master clans face this issue.

Those who practice the art of seeking origins, rarely have a good ending. This is a saying known to everyone in the higher circles of the source master community!

Because, higher-level source masters often come into contact with more mysterious Source Stones, and the power of calamity within them is even more terrifying. A slight misstep could result in calamity befalling them.

Source Stones are mysterious, radiating with the unknown. Even the most cautious Source Masters, whenever they touch a Source Stone, cannot guarantee that nothing will go wrong.

Especially, as the level of a Source Master increases, their curiosity about the secrets within Origin Stones grows stronger. Almost every high-level Source Master will be unable to resist trying to touch some obviously particularly dangerous Origin Stones.

The more dangerous the Origin Stone, the greater the harvest!

Naturally, the probability of encountering problems increases!

Yun Hao saw things very clearly.

Those who practice occultism rarely end well, and a large part of the reason lies in the recklessness of their masters!

Bet!

"Being a teacher is at the core of who I am!

"

Every time you choose a piece of ore, it's a gamble!

Speaking broadly, it's not just Source Masters. Even Warriors, Formation Masters, Alchemist... all of them are essentially gambling as well.

Every step on the path of cultivation is a choice, and every choice is a gamble.

Of course, the master's kind of gambling is more obvious and naked than any path of cultivation!

The Su family has carried on its glorious legacy for three thousand years along this road.

But now, they are facing the consequences of gambling.

It's clear the Su family has made the worst-case scenario plans. If they truly can't suppress the consequences, they will let this batch of young people without cultivation experience leave and completely sever ties with source arts!

Yun Hao nodded, bowed to Su Yao, and said, "Please inform Master Su that at noon, I will pay him a visit punctually."

Su Yao smiled and said, "Well then, I'll go back and wait for the arrival of Lord Hongchen."

………

Inside the inn's guest rooms.

With a face full of worry and a troubled heart, Zhu Pin spent the night restless like an ant on a hot pot.

He had heard of the calamity power within the Originium, a terrifying force that clung to those afflicted with it. Almost none who were bound by calamity met a good end.

Can Yunhao do it

He doesn't know!

But Yun Hao is the only hope!

If Yunhao doesn't work out, Zhu Pin felt that he could start considering settling his affairs.

He certainly doesn't want to wait for the calamity pollution to deepen, and become that inhuman, ghostly being who feeds on blood!

The biggest regret is that I finally passed through Yunhao and comprehended the true meaning of the array method, "Integrating Arrays with the Body," but I haven't been able to advance to the upper rank of Earth Grade Array Master...

With a creak.

Yun Hao pushed the door open.

Only then did Zhu Pin react, realizing that Yun Hao had returned.

You see, Yun Hao was at the door just now, his presence wasn't concealed, and his footsteps weren't muffled. Despite Zhu Pin possessing such powerful spiritual energy, he didn't detect him beforehand. This shows that his mind, right now...

, how restless and anxious I am!

"Master..."

Zhu Pin was extremely nervous, his eyes fixed on Yun Hao with fear. His heart pounded in his chest, afraid that the words coming out of Yun Hao's mouth would be the worst possible.

Yunhao saw Zhu Pin's mental state and, being decisive, directly extracted a drop of essence blood from the golden jade that came from the source of the calamity.

Emitting blood that gleamed with a dark light, it shot instantly towards Zhu Jun's face.

"Young Master, is this the essence blood of the pollution source" Zhu Pin finally let out a breath of relief.

Yun Hao nodded and then with a flick of his wrist, he struck out with a seal.

The essence imbued in the black blood dissipated, and in an instant, the drop of jet-black blood surged into Zhu Pin's body under the impetus of Yun Hao's hand seal.

This drop of jet-black essence, under Yun Hao's control, moved within Zhu Pin's body, like a magnet. Wherever it passed, the ominous aura that had infected Zhu Pin's body was absorbed away!

A moment later.

With a soft plop.

A ray of pitch-black light pierced through Zhu's chest directly.

Originally, it was just a tiny drop of pitch-black essence blood. After absorbing the calamity Qi from Zhu Pin's body, it actually grew to be as big as an infant's fist!

Under the glare of the midday sun, this ominous blood clot, reeking of disaster, was melting like ice on a hot stove, sizzling and bubbling.

Zhu Pin only felt that his whole body was relaxed.

He immediately knelt down on one knee and bowed: "Thank you, Master Yun, for saving my life. Zhu Pin has nothing to repay your kindness. This old life of mine is at your disposal!"

Yun Hao calmly said, "Get up."

Zhu Pin rose to his feet and changed the way he addressed Yun Hao, saying, "Young Master, I shall continue my investigation and strive to find that golden jade as soon as possible!"

Yún Hào had just saved his life, he worked even harder.

Yún Hào: "Jīn Yù Zhōng has already been found, he is the true body of the strange doppelganger from last night."

Once this was said.

Zhu's mind was buzzing.

"Could it be that the 'golden treasure' is the source of this calamity"

Yun Hao shook his head and said, "The source is not him. Alright, you don't need to worry about this for now. Just take a good rest today and adjust your state back to its peak. I'll go to the Su family later."

Zhu Pin listened with some confusion, but he didn't ask for clarification.

Although Yun Hao had cleansed the calamitous aura from his body, he still felt exhausted all over. It was like when he was young and reckless, spending ten days or half a month in brothels before coming out only able to lean on walls and support himself.

It does indeed need to be adjusted properly.

………

Su family ancestral hall.

Incense smoke curls gently.

A corpulent man, his eyes squeezed into slits by excess flesh, knelt before the ancestral tablets of the Su family.

Su Hai Ming, the head of the Su family, stood aside.

"Our ancestors of the Su family are looking down upon us. Su Jun, a member of the Su family branch, returns to his ancestral roots," Su Haiming said, his tone serious.

As he spoke, he lowered his head to look at the fat man, just about to urge him to kowtow, suddenly, Su Haiming twitched his lips and almost got so angry that he would walk away.

This fat pig, actually picked up the roasted suckling pig offered to our ancestors, and munched on it relentlessly!

The pig ears and four pig legs are all gone!ra, striking the demon woman.The demon woman let out a shriek and flew backward, a horrifying gash running from her chin to her abdomen. Dongfang Bai Chuan's blade nearly cleaved her in half!"Wow!"Don...
