Chapter 448: Desolate Mansion, Ancient Well!

ong blade, lunged. Liu Yan hurriedly swung her sword across her body to block the attack."Clang!"A tremendous force collided, causing Liu Yan to spit out a mouthful of blood. Her body flew backward li...Yun Hao felt a strong sense of confusion about the pollution caused by this disaster.

The Su family, who built Tiance City, was a renowned lineage of sorcerers that shone for three thousand years.

In the entire Xia Imperial Dynasty's source teacher world, the Su family is the absolute hegemon!

Over the past three thousand years, there have been countless skilled artisans from the Su family.

Even today, there's still a master source-ground artisan at the peak, and more than a dozen source-ground artisans.

With the Su family's profound foundation in source techniques, they couldn't possibly stand idly by against the calamity pollution within the source stones, especially when it wreaked havoc in Tianbao City.

If even this cannot be solved, then the Su family's three thousand years of foundation would be a complete joke, a mere name without substance.

Ke Yunhao arrived in Tianbao City several days ago.

The Tribulations Grand Formation of Tiān Bǎo City, and the Wén Dào Pavilion, both demonstrate

Besides the Su family's power, it means that the Su family is a truly influential source master clan.

So, they faced a disaster pollution source that had been plaguing Tianshao City for years, but were powerless to do anything about it. Unless, the Su family's Yuan Shi power encountered a major problem and couldn't spare much energy to deal with it.

Yun Hao had some guesses in his mind, but it wasn't enough to draw a conclusion yet.

Seeking the source of this calamity is an incredibly risky undertaking for any Dharma realm powerhouse.

Ke Yunhao faced the power of disaster with rich experience. Although he found his opponent, it wasn't guaranteed that he could defeat them, but he could still protect himself.

If we can't handle it, then make a bigger fuss, provoke the Su family to show up. This way, we can also test the Su family's strength.

The Su family simply didn't have the energy to find the source of this disaster pollution.

If Yun Hao exposes the source of the calamity to them, the Su family will definitely be able to handle it.

Of course.

Saving Zhu Pin truly requires finding the source of the calamity.

Zhu Pin's body was tainted with the power of calamity.

Only by finding the source of the calamity and obtaining the essence blood of the calamity's pollution source can one attract the power of calamity within Zhu Pin.

Otherwise.

Even though Yun Hao has now sealed the calamity power spreading within Zhu Pin's body, this is not a long-term solution. If too much time passes, even if a master like Yuan Tian Shi comes, he won't be able to save Zhu Pin.

Zhu Pin is what Yun Hao brought to Tianbao City.

These days, Zhu Pin has been by his side, attending to him diligently and working hard. He has seen it all and wouldn't let Zhu Pin fend for himself.

After instructing Zhu Pinxian to return home and await further developments, Yun Hao leaped into the sky and vanished.

Zhu Pin was deeply worried, his face etched with sorrow as he returned to his lodgings at the inn.

………

Su family.

The head of the household, Su Haiming, walked out of a secret room with countless layers of seals and restrictions, his expression grave.

Outside the room.

A handsome young man immediately stepped forward and asked, "Master, what's the matter"

Su Haiming fell silent for a moment, then let out a long sigh and said, "It's getting harder and harder to suppress."

Every ten years, we hold a Stone Gathering in Tianbao City, attracting talented Source Mages to the city. Through this event, we identify and cultivate promising young Source Mages.

Even so, there is still no way to solve this problem.

Three years ago, that power almost completely broke through the seal. Even a slight trace of calamity leaked out and caused serious consequences in Ti Bao City. The effects of that incident still haven't been eradicated to this day.

That power erupted, growing stronger with each passing instance. If it were to happen again... the magnificent Tianbao City, which had shone for three thousand years, would surely be reduced to ruin.

Even if our Su family members evacuate in time, the Su family bloodline can continue in other places.

This calamity, its very source, stems from our Su family. This disaster will sweep across the ancient Xia Kingdom.

"The calamity will result in countless deaths. Our Su family will therefore bear the weight of these lives lost and be forever condemned for it!"

Young man: "Master... It's not the last moment yet. When you reach the mountain, there will be a way. The willows are dark and flowers bloom again in another village."

Moreover, our Su family took measures to prevent this from happening. We secretly branched out into many smaller families. Now, a young descendant of the Su family has returned, claiming his ancestry. This young man is clearly gifted with incredible opportunities and can even interact with that terrifying power without being harmed.

He might be able to help the Su family and get them through this disaster!

And even if he doesn't work out, over the past decade, many young Origin Master prodigies have emerged from the ancient nation of Daxia. Who knows, there might be an opportunity to completely solve this problem very soon!

As the first person in charge of Tianbao City, Su Haiming exuded an air of powerlessness and resignation. He said, "Su Yao, you are the pillar of our younger generation of the Su family."

Remember, if that power truly cannot be suppressed, take the younger generations of our clan and leave. Go as far away as you can, best to leave Daxia Ancient Country, and never return. Then strictly forbid any future Su family members from practicing the Source Technique!

Our ancestors' ancestral precepts passed down through generations once said:

Those who practice the art of acquisition all find it difficult to end well.

Our ancestors said in the family precepts that after the Su family had accumulated a certain amount of foundation through source techniques, they should completely abandon source techniques. Otherwise, the Su family would surely prosper because of source techniques, but also decline because of them.

It's a shame...

The Su family, generation after generation, immersed themselves in the glory brought by the Yuanjutsu, unable to extricate themselves. They cast aside the ancestral precepts left by their ancestors.

"Otherwise, the Su family… would not have fallen to such a state!"

The young man named Su Yao looked at the head of the family, Su Haiming, and said solemnly: “If that day ever comes, please, Headmaster, choose another person to carry on the bloodline of the Su family. Su Yao is willing to stay in Tianbao City with the Headmaster and all the elders, doing everything in his power to make amends for the mistakes of the Su family!”

………

At night, Tian Bao City was eerily silent. Because of strange powers that kept creating gruesome events, very few people dared to venture out.

Compared to the bustling activity of daytime, it is a world apart.

Yunhao, relying on the breath of his avatar's self-detonation empowered by Calamity's Force, vaguely locked onto a direction. Within Tianbao City, he zipped through the streets at incredible speed.

He is extremely fast.

But there wasn't a ripple.

His figure, perfectly blended with the darkness, seemed to become one with the night.

In the process of searching for the source of the disaster, Yun Hao also gained a deeper understanding of Tianbao City.

Because there were no crowds of people bringing a vibrant energy, Tiance City had an indescribable air of decay.

This kind of decay is hidden very, very deeply.

Just like a pagoda, with a glittering exterior, in reality, the foundation buried underground is riddled with holes and decaying, ready to collapse at any moment, crushing countless lives!

Tiān bǎo chéng, indeed there are problems!

Hidden behind the hustle and bustle, perhaps lies an unimaginable crisis!

A moment later.

Yun Hao retracted his thoughts about the Celestial Treasure City.

He focused his mind.

Because, in his perception, the source of that calamity's avatar was nearby.

Yunhao carefully identified it once again, and soon, he locked onto the final target.

He stood outside a courtyard.

The gate to the courtyard had no plaque, and even in front of the gate, spiderwebs were everywhere. Dust and fallen leaves piled up on the ground.

Like an abandoned house left untended for a long time.

The source of the Calamity's power lies within this courtyard.

The next moment.

Yun Hao leapt, his figure like a spirit in the night, silently and soundlessly soaring into the courtyard.

The yard is not big.

Clutter was piled everywhere, the ground covered with withered leaves and cobwebs hung in every corner.

Yun Hao's gaze fell upon a well in the courtyard.

The well's opening, piled with stones, was remarkably smooth, clearly the result of frequent friction. This starkly contrasted with the desolate and disorganized state of the courtyard surrounding it.

Yun Hao walked towards the mouth of the well.

Just as he approached the well and looked down into its depths.

"Roar!"

A ferocious roar, bursting from the bottom of the well, shook the air. This sound, imbued with a sinister will, pierced Yun Hao's very soul!

Next.

There was a loud smack.

A long whip crackled through the air,

splitting space.

slapped Yun Hao's waist hard! Martial Palace. In terms of prestige, even the esteemed Emperor Xia was far inferior to Zhang Tao!Today, he could finally hold his head high.Zhang Tao looked solemn.The strike he just made wasn't a t...
