Primordial Emperor-Chapter 1627 - 1626: Get Out and Face Death

"You two father and son are really something, get up quickly! I, Lin Chen, will naturally give you instructions when I need your help. If you keep being so pretentious, don't call me boss in the future."

Lin Chen looked at Su Yun and immediately scolded.

Though Su Yun hadn't done much for Lin Chen, he was extremely loyal and had always been a good follower.

Therefore, Lin Chen naturally wouldn't stand by and watch his father die without saving him.

Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, Su Yun immediately stood up from the ground and gave Lin Chen a faint smile.

...

Nothing happened overnight. The next day, Su Yongze led many Su Family disciples to gather outside Su Liuyun's residence.

Su Li knew Su Yongze and the others would come to make trouble today, so he even withdrew the guards from outside Lin Chen's residence. They all returned to act as guards, protecting Su Liuyun.

"Su Liuyun, come out and face your death! I've given you three days to prepare your affairs, out of consideration for our family ties. The deadline is up today, so quickly hand over the position of patriarch and the Su Family Array Control Token, or don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Su Yongze brought his people to Su Liuyun's residence and immediately shouted coldly.

Behind him were a group of Su Family elders.

At this time, there was a hint of black demonic qi emanating from Su Yongze, a result of not yet fully absorbing the Purple Scale Fruit he had consumed.

And within the Su Family, many elders, coerced and enticed by Su Yongze, had turned their backs and aligned with his faction.

Now, those resisting Su Yongze accounted for less than two-fifths of the entire Su Family, while another two-fifths stood on Su Yongze's side.

The remaining one-fifth maintained a neutral stance.

Three days ago, Su Yongze had given Su Liuyun a deadline of three days to consider, promising to spare Su Liuyun's faction if he handed over the Array Control Token.

Of course, that was just a delaying tactic by Su Yongze.

The people following Su Liuyun had been with him for a long time. Once Su Yongze took control of the patriarchal position, he would definitely eliminate Su Liuyun's faction immediately.

Previously, Su Liuyun had suffered from a serious illness and had no choice but to agree to Su Yongze's request, giving his faction three days. It was truly the only choice available.

However, now that Su Liuyun had recovered from his old illness and his cultivation had been restored, he naturally feared Su Yongze no longer.

Su Dongyu stood beside Su Yongze, not emitting the black demonic qi like other Su Family elders.

This was because he had gradually adapted to the conditions of having consumed the Purple Scale Fruit, so there was no leakage of demonic qi.

Besides, Su Dongyu had consumed the Purple Scale Fruit in the Ancient Ruins, and with time passing, it was normal that there was no longer any demonic qi leakage.

Additionally, due to consuming the Purple Scale Fruit, Su Dongyu's cultivation had now advanced to the Half-step to Creation Realm.

However, rapidly advancing his cultivation in such a short time led to unstable foundations, so he dared not consume another Purple Scale Fruit.

After consuming the Purple Scale Fruit, Su Dongyu realized his foundation was unstable. Continuing to consume it might strain his body to the limit, possibly causing his body to explode due to the powerful energy of the Purple Scale Fruit.

After discovering his unstable foundation, Su Dongyu intended to fight some Magical Beasts in the Ancient Ruins to temper and solidify his unstable foundation.

However, after several battles with the Magical Beasts within, Su Dongyu nearly perished in that swamp, causing him to hastily return to the Mysterious Heaven Continent, not daring to stay in that world for another moment. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

After leaving the Ancient Ruins, Su Dongyu immediately found a trading company to sell all the treasures he had obtained from the ruins, not including the Purple Scale Fruit, of course.

After all, such treasure was pivotal for the revival of his faction within the Su Family.

Hence, that was why he didn't return to Tian Que City faster.

Actually, if he had returned a few days earlier, he wouldn't have encountered Lin Chen and the others.

However, as fate would have it, just when he thought victory was certain, Lin Chen and Su Yun's timely return perfectly disrupted his plans.

The commotion caused by Su Dongyu and Su Yongze quickly caught the attention of Su Yun and Lin Chen.

Su Yun immediately wanted to return to assist his father, but Lin Chen stopped him.

"If you show up now, you'll distract your father instead."

"Your father's strength has recovered, so there's no need to worry." Lin Chen pulled the returning Su Yun back to the residence and gently advised.

After all, Su Liuyun was the patriarch of the Su Family. If his strength had recovered but he was still easily defeated, then Su Liuyun would be quite incompetent.

This is Su Family's problem, and behind the Su Family, both factions rely on the Royal Family. Lin Chen didn't want to get involved in this muddy water, so he restrained Su Yun.

If Su Liuyun truly couldn't resolve the current problem, Su Yun rushing out would only be sending himself to his death.

Hearing Lin Chen's words, Su Yun finally became alert.

Yes, his father's cultivation had recovered. If he couldn't even deal with Su Yongze, that would make Su Yun a joke. At that point, not only others, but Su Yun himself would despise his father.

With Su Yongze's words just finished, an elderly man appeared, supported by a cane, slowly emerging from the room.

At this moment, the old man's face was covered in wrinkles, and his complexion was extremely haggard, looking as if he could pass away at any moment.

"Boss, didn't you already heal my father's injuries? Why does he look so miserable again?" Su Yun, looking at his father, was quite puzzled and asked.

"Why are you so impatient? What are you thinking? Senior Su is pretending to deceive his opponents. Don't you understand your father's strategy?"

Lin Chen looked at Su Yun and calmly laughed.

Under Lin Chen's Abyssal Eye, everything was laid bare, so Lin Chen could discern that Su Liuyun was faking it.

Without Lin Chen giving Su Liuyun the elixir, and without activating the Abyssal Eye, even he might have been duped by the old fox.
