Super Invincible Immortal Doctor

“Yes, but also no. The most fundamental reason is still because he is who he is. That’s also why I am here.”

The Green Hillock Empress began speaking with a smile. Behind that face—one no one could clearly discern—was an inexplicable kindness defying her age.

In the distance, Cui Manlou, who was firmly suppressed, listened to the conversation between the two, increasingly sensing that something was amiss.

Only now did he realize, after having meticulously devised his plan—a scheme that should have been a one-stone-three-birds strategy—that everything seemed to veer off course the moment it connected to Su Chengyu. He couldn’t pinpoint where the deviation had occurred, but the unease steadily grew, overshadowing all else.

“Who exactly is that Su Chengyu? Ah!”

Following the question was a heart-wrenching, piercing scream. The pale flames emanating from the seal technique suppressing Cui Manlou were clearly meant to inflict deliberate torment upon him.

“You’ve been skulking in the shadows for years, pestering Xia Country like flies. Didn’t you claim your intelligence network spanned the entire land? How could you fail to uncover even this? Is my Yu Er’s lineage so impossibly hard to trace?”

Cui Manlou gritted his teeth, enduring the pain as his mind remained unusually clear. From just a few short sentences, he caught the key hints hidden within the Green Hillock Empress’s words.
