Chapter 459: Chapter 275: Things Are Not What They Were

"I see."

Su Xing didn’t doubt the Black Sword, but he did glean some unexpected information from its words. For instance, although the Black Sword was born from the system, it was somehow unaware of the system itself, or of the Sword Dao Points.

However, the Black Sword didn’t ask, and Su Xing didn’t bring it up either. He just nodded and said, "I’ve already contacted Su Yu. Go to the organization’s building and teach your first class."

"Hm?"

The Black Sword asked in confusion, "Aren’t you coming with me, Father?"

Although he knew that working for Su Xing was now inevitable, he hadn’t expected to have to go to the organization’s building alone. He watched as Su Xing simply nodded and said:

"I have other things to do."

That was right. Su Xing planned to go to the Spirit Realm again, to the Spirit Realm Secret Realm. Now that the Spirit Realm had allied with Jile Valley, the Spirit Realm Secret Realm had naturally undergone some changes.

However, that wasn’t the true purpose of his trip. Su Xing’s power had already reached an outrageous level. His goal was the Cultivation Secret Realms held by the Secret Realm’s native inhabitants.

He recalled how he had obtained the inheritance of the Lord of Luo City in this very Spirit Realm Secret Realm. Now that Su Xing had laid the Lord of Luo City to rest for good, it was only natural for him to make a trip back to the Spirit Realm.

What’s more,

when he had left this place before,

he had only absorbed and integrated a portion of the Cultivation Secret Realms from these native humans. ’At the time, I wasn’t strong enough to absorb the rest, but now, it shouldn’t be a problem.’

Therefore,

Su Xing decided to head to the Spirit Realm.

"Alright, I’ll be going then."

The Black Sword nodded in resignation. He wasn’t the type to press for details. ’Besides, Su Xing is my master. We have a relationship of absolute trust, so there’s no need to question him so thoroughly. I’m sure I’ll find out eventually if I’m meant to.’

After the Black Sword left, Su Xing glanced at his phone, confirmed that Li Longxuan still hadn’t replied, and then tore open the void, arriving directly in the Spirit Realm.

The Spirit Realm—the temporary camp built for the actual Spirit Realm—was also the place where Su Xing and Li Longxuan had first met.

However, as the situation evolved, the Spirit Realm’s role and importance had diminished. Now, only a few guards remained, a far cry from its former days when it teemed with high-tier Extraordinary Beings.

When the few Sequencers guarding the Spirit Realm saw Su Xing, they immediately spoke with respect. "Vice Minister Su, what brings you here?"

"What’s the situation in the Spirit Realm now?"

Su Xing asked, looking at the group. There weren’t many people left guarding the Spirit Realm—only five in total. But to his surprise, one of them was an acquaintance.

Shen Ruyun. She was one of the first Sequencers Su Xing had met when he initially made contact with the special organization. She now exuded the aura of a Tier Three Sequencer. If his memory served him correctly, she and his brother, Su Yu, had always been very close—on the verge of getting together, in fact.

That was what Su Xing found a little strange: why wasn’t Shen Ruyun on the same team as his brother? Why was she left behind to stand guard at the Spirit Realm?

However, Su Xing never meddled in his brother’s love life, so he simply glanced at Shen Ruyun without saying anything further.

Shen Ruyun clearly noticed his gaze. That one look sent her mind reeling, reminding her of the early days when she had thought Su Xing was just a somewhat well-built, ordinary person.

She never imagined that in just a few short months, Su Xing would have risen to the position of Vice Minister. In Cang City, aside from the long-established authority of Li Longxuan, Su Xing was now second to one and superior to all others.

Most importantly...

That "one person" also held Su Xing in very high regard.

Coupled with his performance in the battle at the Beilong Street Secret Realm, his strength had to be at least Tier Seven Peak. And the thing was, Su Xing was only in his twenties. His potential was almost unbelievable.

Of course, if Shen Ruyun knew what Su Xing had done at Desperate Gorge and the Dragon Gate Cyan Cloud Sect, she would likely be even more shocked.

Aside from Li Longxuan, everyone in Cang City’s perception of Su Xing was frozen at the level he was when he left. But the Su Xing of today was more than just a little stronger than before; it would be no exaggeration to say he had been completely transformed.

"Things have been quiet in the Spirit Realm."

While Shen Ruyun’s thoughts were running wild, one of the other four answered him. They hadn’t had much contact with Su Xing—in fact, this was only the second time they had ever seen the Vice Minister, the first being the day of his promotion. Because of this, they weren’t as reserved and spoke up to answer his question.

"Quiet?"

"What about the Spirit Lord and that Lord Yin?"

Su Xing immediately asked.

"We don’t know..."

The four exchanged a glance. "Right after the war started, the special organization sent people into the Spirit Realm to investigate. They found that all the spirit beasts had gone into hiding, sticking to their own clans for protection. As for the two rulers of the Spirit Realm, they’ve vanished."

"We’re guessing they went to Jile Valley. Rumor has it that Jile Valley is located in the far north, a place that’s perpetually cold and always snowing."

"Oh?"

Su Xing asked, puzzled, "Jile Valley exists in the mortal world? Then why hasn’t the special organization gone to wipe them out?"
