CHAPTER 1217: CHAPTER 1215: ANOTHER CHANGE COMES AGAIN (3 MORE)

He just wants to drag Xuu Xiao, Xing Gu, and everyone else down with him. If he has to attack Su Chen alone now, the news would spread, and his reputation, along with Yanxu Palace’s reputation, would be utterly damaged.

Especially for Yanxu Palace, which still needs to absorb some super geniuses from time to time to mentor as fresh talents. If their reputation suffers, the consequences would be severe.

However, if the Xuu Family, Xing Family, Qiu Family, Pang Family, and all these First-Order Powers are dragged down together, it would be much better.

"I agree with Young Master Yaun," Elder of the Pang Family spoke up, "Achieving great things requires disregarding minor details. Attacking now, so what? It’s such a great opportunity, and once it passes, it won’t return."

"I agree too," Qiu Shuang nodded heavily, full of hatred towards Su Chen, thinking that as long as Su Chen dies, what harm is there in an ambush? In fact, she had already had such thoughts.

"I agree too," Xuu Xiao took a deep breath and said.

"I agree," Feng Liu raised his head, deeply looking at Su Chen, who was steadily advancing step by step on the staircase, already reaching the twenty-sixth layer, and he nodded heavily.

"Young Master Xing, you really don’t agree?" Lastly, Yaun Tianyan glanced again at Xing Gu.

Xing Gu wanted to stay on dry land? Yaun Tianyan couldn’t possibly let him have his way.

Obviously, if Su Chen died, the Xing Family would also gain potential benefits, yet Xing Gu would still do nothing? Does he cherish his feathers that much? Is there such a good thing?

"I agree," Xing Gu was silent for a moment before nodding directly, having no other option because he saw that since Qiu Shuang, Xuu Xiao, Feng Liu, and the Elder of the Pang Family all agreed, if he disagreed, there would be no good outcome for him.

His strength wasn’t enough to withstand Xuu Xiao, Feng Liu, and the Elder of the Pang Family single-handedly, especially with Yaun Tianyan also there. Besides, truthfully speaking, he was also jealous of Su Chen. Such a super genius as Su Chen should not exist; otherwise, when would there be any chance to stand out?

"Then let’s take action!" Yaun Tianyan said in a deep voice, unable to wait any longer.

Just at this moment, "Wait for a moment..." Qiu Shuang suddenly said with a sly smile, "Isn’t it a hundred steps? That little brat is only at the twenty-sixth step. Let’s keep a close eye on him and see. What if, next time, Su Chen just dies on his own? Wouldn’t that be better? It could happen, after all, everyone knows the dangers of this hundred-step staircase. Anyway, we’ve already decided to sabotage his opportunity, so we’ll just watch him closely, pay attention to his movements at all times, and it will not delay the timing. Personally, I think we should wait until he’s alive and reaches seventy or eighty steps before we act. By then, ambushing him would only take a moment."

"That’s true," Yaun Tianyan nodded. If Su Chen could simply die on the staircase himself, it would indeed be better.

Xuu Xiao and the others nodded as well.

For a moment, everyone’s gazes were cold!!! In their hearts, Su Chen was already a dead man!

"When the time comes, give it your all..." Yaun Tianyan glanced at Xing Gu and Xuu Xiao, the meaning obvious as each had brought an elder with them. These elders were also no weaker than the Elder of the Pang Family. If these two elders acted together, it would be more secure. As for Feng Liu and Qiu Shuang, Feng Liu was already alone when he boarded the ship, and even though Qiu Shuang had an Elder Lin behind her, Elder Lin had already perished at Su Chen’s hands before.

"Alright."

"Good!

......

Xuu Xiao and Xing Gu nodded.

Yaun Tianyan smiled contentedly, thinking to himself, "Su Chen, you’d better die on the staircase consciously, maybe that way you’ll have a quick death. Otherwise, once we ambush you, you’ll die a painful and resentful death."

In the distance.

"Qin, what do you think they are discussing?" Yuan Mengyuan asked.

"Nothing, just discussing how that kid is so defiant of the heavens," Qin replied, while in fact, she had heard but chose to withhold the truth.

Qin thought to herself, "You have no idea how terrifyingly defiant a pureblood Vermilion Bird Spirit truly is, and you, being able to completely integrate with it one hundred percent, someday in the future you could easily break through the Boundary Sea and reach the Grand Cosmos World. Although this boy is indeed strange and outstanding enough, he still isn’t worthy of you. Yet you have feelings for him; it’s better if he dies here."

Qin overheard Yaun Tianyan and the others’ discussion.

She found this kind of despicable act disgusting as well.

But, for Yuan Mengyuan’s future, she still decided to lie and cover it up with a heavy heart.

To ensure Yuan Mengyuan doesn’t alert Su Chen.

In other words, Qin just wanted to see Su Chen die here today, only then could she be at ease.

"Girl, don’t blame me. I can’t watch a peerless genius, someone with the potential to become an Empress, waste her talent," Qin muttered to herself; she could clearly see that Yuan Mengyuan had feelings for Su Chen. Of course, the good thing was, their interaction was limited, and these feelings hadn’t yet sublimated into love or deep love. Everything was still in time, and now was the best moment to sever the ties.

"Qin, do you think Su Chen can reach the top?" Yuan Mengyuan asked, not knowing Qin’s thoughts, involuntarily, adding a bit of expectation in her beautiful eyes.

Qin didn’t answer. Can he reach the top? Probably not. Even if Yaun Tianyan and others hadn’t conspired to ambush, she still thought Su Chen was unlikely to reach the summit.

But Yuan Mengyuan, if she had awakened her pureblood Vermilion Bird Spirit a few years earlier, could have easily reached the top. It’s a pity about the five Thunder Spirits, which are very valuable.

"If he reaches the top, could I... could I be worthy of him?" Yuan Mengyuan asked again, her voice slightly anxious, with a hint of inferiority.

"You..." Qin nearly choked with anger; even in the Grand Cosmos World, someone with a pureblood Vermilion Bird Spirit like Yuan Mengyuan would be the absolute top-level genius, yet she is worried she’s not worthy of someone else? What right does that boy have?

Qin felt utterly frustrated, as it seemed that Yuan Mengyuan had yet to fully understand just how terrifying a pureblood Vermilion Bird Spirit is.

However, there’s no rush, Yuan Mengyuan will know eventually.

"But he seems to have some aversion to me," unexpectedly, Yuan Mengyuan lowered her head, being genuinely sensitive and showing the exact personality of Lin Meimei.

Qin really wanted to personally go and hammer Su Chen to death, although, right now, she was just a Divine Soul and couldn’t do it.

Right at this moment.

Another anomaly arose on the hundred steps!!!

Su Chen had reached the Thirty-first Level.

And he encountered an even more terrifying entity.

When he stepped onto this level, he fell directly into a small space. And in this small space, there was a dragon, a dragon that towered to the heavens and earth.

"Thunder Dragon!" Qin said indifferently, with a hint of sarcasm in her voice, "This boy is dead for sure..."

In the distance, Elder of the Pang Family, Yaun Tianyan, and others were dumbfounded, "That... that... that’s a Thunder Dragon."

"It’s a Thunder Dragon, and it seems to possess at least five percent of the Bloodline of a Thunder Dragon!" Xuu Xiao took a deep breath, his voice filled with ultimate shock and disbelief.
