Chapter 611: Who Is the Grandson?

Whether the Master of the Dust-Free Valley knew advanced divination arts or not, his predictions were quite accurate. At noon that day, Su Che received an alert from Lao He: “Master, someone is coming—three of them!”
Through the mental image sent by Lao He, Su Che immediately saw three people enter the Thunder God Temple. They were: a handsome young man dressed like a scholar, holding a folding fan; a burly middle-aged man in simple clothes; and an old man of small stature with dark skin.
On the surface, they seemed to be three generations—elder, middle-aged, and young. But in reality, it was possible that the handsome young man was the oldest.
Lao He’s detection abilities couldn’t even determine their cultivation levels, indicating that they were all special beings like the Master of the Dust-Free Valley, beyond ordinary cultivation rankings. In other words, they possessed powers far beyond those of ordinary mortals, not even comparable to those at the Great Vehicle stage.
Su Che sent a message asking, “They came together—do they know each other?”
“Probably not.”
The Master of the Dust-Free Valley shook his head slowly. “A month ago, that old man first arrived on Thunder Star and discovered that you and I were here. Instead of acting rashly, he waited patiently outside. Only today, when the other two arrived one after another, did the three of them gather together. They must think that with three against two, they have enough strength to talk to us, which is why they entered the Thunder God Temple.”
“I see…”
As Su Che nodded, he was secretly surprised. He and Lao He knew nothing about these matters, yet the Master of the Dust-Free Valley was fully aware. This showed that in terms of detection abilities alone, these ancient monsters were several levels above him.
However, Su Che wasn’t afraid or inferior because of this. Detection abilities were often most directly related to one’s cultivation level. For example, when he reached the Calamity Crossing stage, his spiritual awareness covered a range of five thousand li. For ordinary beings at the Great Vehicle stage, this range could reach tens of thousands of li.
This meant that under normal circumstances, a Great Vehicle-stage powerhouse could detect someone from tens of thousands of li away, while he and Lao He couldn’t even sense them.
Moreover, the Master of the Dust-Free Valley was originally from the Immortal Realm, so his spiritual awareness was countless times stronger than that of a Great Vehicle-stage cultivator. Even the various ordinary thunderstorms on Thunder Star couldn’t harm his spiritual awareness. It was therefore normal that he could “see” things that he and Lao He couldn’t.

It doesn’t matter. Just this aspect alone won’t have much impact on combat strength. Those in the Mahayana stage, with their powerful divine senses spanning tens of thousands of miles, were still easily dealt with with a single move from Extreme Fire. Neither Su Che nor the Master of Juechen Valley made any move, remaining in their sitting positions as they waited quietly for the other three to find them. The labyrinthine interior of the Thunder God Temple posed no obstacle to these old monsters at all. The three of them reached the arch smoothly, paused briefly, and stepped through to enter this gravity-free special space. After entering, the five of them exchanged glances. The handsome young man looked at the Master of Juechen Valley and nodded, saying, “Primal demonic energy—truly worthy of practicing here.” After saying this, he turned his folding fan and pointed rudely at Su Che, speaking in an impolite tone, “What about you? Just a mere Tribulation Stage—what gives you the right?” Su Che gave him a cold glance without saying a word, seemingly unwilling to engage in conversation. Yet he knew well that his indifferent attitude wouldn’t anger the other party, just as their rudeness and contempt earlier wouldn’t anger him. The Master of Juechen Valley, however, said with a smile, “He is the famous Tian Yu, and also the one who first discovered and opened this place.” “Oh?” The handsome young man was slightly surprised before laughing again, “So it’s him! No wonder, no wonder…” The burly middle-aged man then showed a very honest-looking smile and spoke in a loud voice, “So, we’re all benefiting from Brother Tian Yu. I, Lao Niu, would like to thank you first!” “You’re welcome,” Su Che replied with a bow. Of course, he wasn’t fooled by their seemingly honest and simple demeanor. These old demons could casually kill hundreds of thousands of beings without even blinking. The thin, dark-skinned old man’s voice was as sharp and grating as a razor, causing discomfort, and his words were extremely unpleasant: “Even so, he should leave. Just a Tribulation Stage, having practiced here for over five years—he’s already gained enough. He should know when to be satisfied…” Such sudden remarks surprised Su Che greatly: What’s going on? Are they bullying me because of my low cultivation level, or what? Although everyone who came here shared the same intention—avoiding too many people to prevent chaos and loss of control—they shouldn’t have attacked me as soon as I appeared. “Could it be that this is all a trick arranged by that Juechen guy in advance?”

Su Che couldn’t help but feel such suspicion.
At this moment, the Master of Juechen Valley smiled without saying a word; the handsome young man tapped his folding fan gently in his palm, his face cold and silent as well; the middle-aged man who had thanked him earlier just laughed foolishly, also staying silent. Undoubtedly, they were all waiting to see what he would do.
“Alright, I’m leaving!”
Su Che immediately stood up, adjusting his robes as he muttered to himself, “The consequence is that within three days, at least a thousand Witch Tribe warriors will come here to have a face-to-face conversation with you.”
“I’m leaving. Whoever tries to stop me will be my grandson!”
Su Che floated upward, slowly flying toward the archway.
Whoever tries to stop me will be my grandson!
Such crude and shameless street language was rarely heard in the realm of cultivation—it already carried a strange vibe. Moreover, when Su Che said this, it seemed like he was cutting off all paths of retreat, leaving no room for anyone to change their minds.
At this point, if anyone tried to speak up and stop Su Che, it would be equivalent to admitting, “Alright, I’m your grandson!”
Although those immortal demons, immune to all poisons, wouldn’t care about having one more “grandson,” it still amounted to a form of submission, an acknowledgment of defeat to Su Che.
If one didn’t want to be a grandson nor have a face-to-face encounter with the Witch Tribe army, there was only one solution: unite and kill Su Che here to eliminate the threat.
So, Su Che’s actions seemed extremely foolish and unwise—just one sentence pushed him into a desperate situation.
But the Master of Juechen Valley and the others knew Su Che wasn’t a fool; there must be a reason behind his actions.
“What on earth is he thinking?”
Watching Su Che’s figure drift toward the archway and about to leave, Juechen and the others quickly speculated about various possibilities.
In fact, Su Che’s thinking was simple: As soon as these three appeared, they targeted him—there must be a reason for that.
The problem was that he couldn’t figure out their intentions at all… After all, the demonic energy here was endless, impossible to exhaust. Adding one more person shouldn’t make much difference to them…
So why would they do this? Why target me? Why force me to leave?
Uncomprehensible!
It was truly impossible to guess in such a short time!

Su Che knew well that dealing with these old guys who had lived for hundreds of thousands of years through schemes and intrigues was futile—no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t match them. So, fine, he would simply make a bet with them: see who was more ruthless and decisive! With a heavy blow, he forced the four of them into a corner, leaving them with only two choices: either unite to kill him on the spot… and see if they could pull it off, or submit to him and stop playing any tricks from now on. Simplifying complex matters as much as possible was the only solution Su Che could think of. Though it carried great risks, he had the courage to gamble and confront them. “That’s exactly right!” Old Hei first cursed loudly, then shouted, “We have mythic powers at our disposal. Even if we can’t win, we can still escape. What’s there to fear? Let’s go at them!” Yes, there was nothing to fear! The reason Su Che was so bold was mainly because he had a protective umbrella above him—the rules of heaven and earth. Although the spiritual realm created by the immortals in the immortal realm had been shattered by the Witch Clan, the rules set by the heavens still held true. Guys like the Master of Juechen Valley were still bound by these rules. If they wanted to kill Su Che, they would need to unleash powers beyond the ordinary realm. But the problem was, once they revealed their true strength, these illegal “stowaways” would be sent back to the immortal realm by the rules of heaven and earth, possibly facing severe punishment. As for him, he was still at the Tribulation stage. Even though he possessed mythic powers that could easily defeat those at the Great Vehicle stage, he was still a mere Tribulation cultivator. The rules of heaven and earth wouldn’t send a Tribulation cultivator straight to the immortal realm. On the other hand, for Su Che, if he could go to the immortal realm right now, it would indeed be great. After all, absorbing the power of immortal essence there would be far more effective than consuming colorful spiritual fruits. Su Che really wished for that. After all calculations, there was nothing to worry about. “You brats, if you’ve got the guts, don’t leave me behind!” Su Che thought fiercely in his heart. “Young Tian Yu, please wait!” Just as Su Che was about to fly out of the arch, the voices of those three “brats” called out to stop him. Besides the Master of Juechen Valley, the three who had just arrived spoke at the same time. Su Che paused, turned slowly, and looked at them coldly before asking in a deep voice, “Have you made up your minds?”

“Young Tianyu, as expected, you’re truly extraordinary—bold, ruthless, and fearless… No wonder you were able to turn the Spirit Realm upside down!”
The handsome youth waved his folding fan and chuckled, “It’s better to meet in person than to hear about someone. Today, I’ve finally seen for myself.”
“All this talk is useless.”
Su Che kept a cold expression and waved his hand lightly. “What I want to know is, have you decided yet—who will take on this role?”
