Ch 585: Huang Wuji’s Fury

Looking closely, it was an old book with obvious traces of years, yellowed to the point of blackness, and the characters on it were blurry.

On the cover, six characters were written: Su Family Heirloom.

Holding the book with both hands, Su Chen only felt it was heavy, possessing a significant weight.

He realized that this book had been passed down from the Su Family ancestors, spanning many days and nights, finally reaching his hands.

For a moment, he felt very heavy in his heart.

Taking a deep breath, Su Chen gently blew away the dust on the book, then carefully opened the first page. Soon, Su Chen discovered that it was about the history of the Su Family, explaining why the Su Family had fallen and how the Xuanyuan Diagram was passed down.

The book was thin, only a dozen pages, and the content was not much, but after Su Chen finished reading it, tears had already flowed down his face. From the lines, he could fully perceive the ferocious years and the hardships of the Su Family over so many years.

Yes, after the Su Family was annihilated, the Xuanyuan Diagram had been wandering in the hands of Su Family descendants, several times almost lost, until half a century ago, when a Su Family descendant was discovered. They could no longer protect the Xuanyuan Diagram, so it was placed here.

What moved Su Chen most was the ape before him, who was a Su Family descendant, an elder named Su Jie.

Because of the long-term contact with the Xuanyuan Diagram, Su Jie gradually underwent deformity, becoming what he is now, having lost ninety-nine percent of his reason, leaving only one obsession: to protect the Xuanyuan Diagram, waiting for a Su Family descendant to take away the Xuanyuan Diagram in the future and revive the Su Family!

After Su Chen finished reading the book, the tears could not be stopped, instantly blurring his vision and wetting his clothes.

Ye Weiyang, who was beside him, did not speak. She simply looked at Su Chen calmly and deeply, silently hugging him, giving him strength and support.

Su Chen wiped away his tears, put down the book that spanned more than two hundred years, carefully placed it aside, then knelt down and kowtowed to the ape in front of him.

“Su Chen, a descendant of the Su Family, thanks Elder Su Jie for guarding the Xuanyuan Diagram!!”

Su Chen’s voice rang out, sincerely shouting these words.

The ape, Su Jie, heard and understood. On his originally ferocious and cruel face, a happy and relieved smile appeared. He bent down and gently stroked Su Chen’s head with his palm, muttering indistinctly. Su Chen didn’t understand what he was saying, but he felt his emotions, which were relief and happiness.

This made Su Chen even more sad. Su Jie was originally an ordinary person like him, but because he had been with the Xuanyuan Diagram for a long time, his body had undergone deformity.

After reading the book, he had a general understanding of the Xuanyuan Diagram. It was a mysterious treasure. Even the Su Family didn’t know where the Xuanyuan Diagram came from, only that it had the function of gathering spiritual energy, equivalent to a spiritual energy storage battery. Over time, a lot of spiritual energy would gather in the Xuanyuan Diagram, and this spiritual energy was equivalent to the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth, having a huge effect on cultivators.

Previously, the Su Family, relying on this Xuanyuan Diagram, could steadily produce Celestial Human Realm Experts, and even Transcendent Realm Experts!

This was also an important reason why the Su Family could become one of the Four Great Families.

But the Xuanyuan Diagram also has a drawback: it has radiation, and the richer the gathered spiritual energy, the greater the radiation. It must be stored underground, and cannot be contacted by humans for a long time, otherwise it will cause deformity and produce atavism, turning into an ape.

There were once Su Family members who, due to prolonged contact with the Xuanyuan Diagram, suffered deformities, becoming apes and losing their minds.

Obviously, Su Jie was radiated by the Xuanyuan Diagram and became an ape.

Su Chen sincerely admired and respected Su Jie’s efforts!

“Re…vive…Su…Family…”

Su Jie uttered these four words with difficulty, then closed his eyes, his body collapsing with a loud thud, falling to the ground motionless.

Su Chen’s body froze. He reached out and pressed it on Su Jie’s chest, finding that Su Jie no longer had a heartbeat, and there was no breath either.

Elder Su Jie had passed away.

Tears welled up in Su Chen’s eyes again. He kowtowed three times forcefully, his gaze firm as he said: “Elder, rest assured, I will definitely not let down your expectations and instructions, I will definitely revive the Su Family!!!”

Then, Su Chen stood up, took a deep breath, wiped his tears, and then reached out his right hand to take the Xuanyuan Diagram Bead suspended in mid-air.

As soon as he got it, Su Chen felt a strong spiritual energy, causing his whole person to be cleansed in an instant.

“Good thing!”

Su Chen’s heart immediately trembled, and he exclaimed.

Ye Weiyang’s face showed a happy smile, and she said: “Great, the treasure that was lost for so many years has finally returned to its rightful owner.”

“Hmm!”

Su Chen nodded vigorously, and solemnly said to Ye Weiyang, “Thank you this time.”

Ye Weiyang smiled, “We don’t need to say these things between us.”

Su Chen didn’t delay. After getting the Xuanyuan Diagram, he took the book and carried Elder Su Jie out for a proper burial.

He had too much to do, and couldn’t delay even a moment.

However, not long after he walked out of the cave, he saw an unexpected person—none other than the Dragon Tooth Deputy Commander, Huang Wuji!

The moment he saw Huang Wuji, Su Chen’s pupils trembled violently, his heart thumped, and he secretly cried out that something was wrong.

Ye Weiyang also saw Huang Wuji the next moment, and her facial expression immediately changed!

Huang Wuji was leaning against a tree at this moment, opened his eyes, and looked at them, his gaze so cold and angry.

“I said that I’ve been investigating for so long and haven’t been able to find out who that wild man is. It turns out he’s by my side, and it was I who promoted him to Wolf Fang Commander! Hahaha, laughable, truly laughable!!”

Huang Wuji was laughing, but there was not a trace of laughter in his eyes. Instead, they seemed incomparably cold and cruel. His gaze swept across Su Chen, like countless needles piercing him, making Su Chen feel pain.

Standing before Huang Wuji, Su Chen immediately perceived the gap between himself and Huang Wuji—it was too, too large. He was simply no match for Huang Wuji.

So his mind quickly figured out that he absolutely could not admit it now!

“Subordinate Su Chen, greets Huang Zu!”

In a second, Su Chen adopted a respectful posture and saluted Huang Wuji.

However, Huang Wuji’s face did not soften but became even colder and filled with murderous aura. “I’ve seen it with my own eyes, and you’re still pretending in front of me? Do you really think I’m a fool? Ah?!”

By the last word, Huang Wuji’s anger erupted, and a powerful aura burst from him, sweeping toward Su Chen!

Su Chen’s face immediately changed, and he felt immense pressure.

Ye Weiyang immediately stood in front of Su Chen and said coldly to Huang Wuji: “Huang Wuji, do you have some kind of problem!”

These words were undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire for Huang Wuji, making his face even more unpleasant.

He stared at Ye Weiyang, “I’ve longed for you, my affection is as deep as the sea, but you don’t look at me, you disdain me, and you turn around and throw yourself into the arms of such trash?”

“Hahaha!” Huang Wuji laughed, then stopped abruptly, turning into cold and boiling killing intent. “Since you like him so much, then I’ll kill him right in front of you!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he struck.
