Decision of the Su Family

On the southern continent, in the Su family mansion, in a luxurious grand hall, a man with short, dark-blue hair was seated calmly on his throne.

After sending some of his men to investigate, a few days later, just as he anticipated, a person from the Southern Sacred Land came to inquire about the boy from the poster appearing in one of his restaurants.

After a brief conversation, the person from the Southern Sacred Land left with a slightly dissatisfied expression.

Then a few more days passed.

'They should be arriving soon,' thought Leader Su.

It had been several days, and he knew that the men he sent to investigate the Southern Sacred Land would return soon.

And as he expected, a few hours later, a man dressed entirely in black appeared before him.

His attire resembled that of those who protected the people of the Southern Medicinal Mountain, but unlike them, the mask on his face was purple.

"Did you succeed?" the man on the throne asked.

"Yes, Leader Su. I and the others infiltrated the outer area of the Southern Sacred Land. It was the only less protected part where we could enter without being seen."

"We then searched for those who were present on the ship in the frozen abyss that day."

"We discovered that the boy from the poster indeed emerged from the frozen abyss, and he came out from the center. The center of the abyss is now accessible to Emperors and Saints."

"The boy was trapped in something like a cocoon in the central area. The Southern Sacred Land doesn't know what this boy is. Despite appearing human, he has no vital energy in his body, as if he isn't alive."

"Furthermore, the boy also comprehends the Law of Ice, making him a quasi-transcendent. Despite this, he lacks Qi in his body. He is a complete mystery, and the Southern Sacred Land has found no solutions regarding this individual."

"Here is all the information we gathered, including every detail of the boy's words and actions after he emerged from the cocoon," said the man in black as he handed over a seemingly blank white paper to Leader Su.

Leader Su listened to the man in black while entering deep thought.

"Is this information reliable?" he asked.

"Yes, Leader Su. We controlled several people who were present that day, and their responses were all consistent," replied the man with the purple mask.

Leader Su fell silent again, and suddenly another person appeared in the hall.

He also wore a purple mask, but his had a small golden stripe on one side.

"Oh, you've returned too. Tell me what the main family thinks about this." Leader Su noticed that the person he sent to the central continent had also returned.

"Yes, Leader Su. I used all the teleportation gates on the central continent to reach the family faster."

"Hmm, good, so what is it?"

"Sir, the family has classified this matter as golden. The orders are to gather all information about the abyss and the boy and close the teleportation gate."

"The Su family has detected changes in many forces. They were sending some of their members to investigate the frozen abyss after the great snowstorm, and they will probably arrive at the teleportation gate from the central continent to the southern continent soon."

"The Su family wants exclusivity over the information, so they sent many guardians back with me. They will be in charge of closing the southern continent and will not allow anyone to enter the continent through the ocean."

"The teleportation gate has also been closed. People other than the Su family cannot go to or return from the central continent through the teleportation gate."

"Only our Su family will know the information about what is happening in the southern continent and also about what happened in the frozen abyss."

"The family wants to sell this information as golden, and we cannot let any information leak out of the southern continent, or we will lose a lot of money," said the man with the purple mask.

"Hahaha, this is certainly the Su family's style. Alright, I have more information about the abyss, so I'll be returning to the main family for a few days."

"You will be in charge of overseeing all the guardians and their duties while I am away."

"Protect the entire border of the continent. Probably, there will be few who dare to cross the ocean to come here after discovering that the teleportation gate is closed."

"In fact, there's a high chance that no force will try to reach here with some different method. Only fools would attempt to do so."

"If the major forces attempt to come here with a different method, they will only waste time and effort. They are aware of this."

After Leader Su said this, he disappeared from the hall rapidly. A few hours later, he was seen flying above the fortress city by the sea .

Flying was prohibited in the city, but not for him, and he quickly arrived at a large blue structure. A massive concentration of Qi and spatial energy circulated in this place.

He then entered the building without anyone stopping him. In fact, as soon as those guarding the place saw him, they bowed in respect.

Soon, he entered a gigantic array in which giant spiritual stones were attached to the ground and walls. However, these stones were emitting significant spatial energy instead of Qi, as spiritual stones would.

After he entered, an old man who was outside used his Qi to light up the stones in a certain order. Then, all the stones lit up suddenly.

A flash of light radiated from the stones, along with an immense spatial aura. In a few seconds, the light disappeared completely, but Leader Su was already out of sight.
