Seeing An Peng so nervous, An Rong knew he was up to something.
But …
What An Peng said was the truth. If Master Cullen were to verify it, the news would definitely spread. No matter what the truth was, there would be all kinds of rumors in Soul Lamp City. Even if the story about the third young master of the An family being cuckolded was false, it would still become a rumor. By then, not only would the An family lose face, but he would also be laughed at and have a stain on his reputation.
The Soul Hall wouldn't accept someone with a tainted reputation.
That way, his future would be ruined, and it would also affect Mu Anjie's reputation. She was born as a maid, and was already disliked in the An family. If it weren't for his firm attitude back then, his family wouldn't have agreed to this marriage at all. Now that this matter had happened, if it were to spread, his father would definitely insist that he kick his wife out of the house.
An Rong's heart was in turmoil.
Sorry, Brother Su. For An Jie and my reputation, perhaps the best thing to do now is to sacrifice you.
"Bang!"
An Rong suddenly locked the door.
An Peng chuckled. He knew what An Rong was thinking.
His third brother really cared more about his own future.
However … Hehe, did he really think that he set up such a trap just to annoy an outsider like Su Chen?
An Peng's goal from the beginning was to destroy An Rong. Only then would he have a chance to join the Soul Hall and become a soul master.
"Rip!"
A bone-piercing chill came from An Peng's chest.
An Peng's expression changed. He looked down in disbelief and saw a bloody hole in his chest.
An Rong turned around and looked at him with an indifferent expression. "Why bother, Second Brother? No matter what tricks you play, you can't beat me in the end because of the difference in strength."
"You …."
An Peng didn't even have the chance to summon a ghost servant. Filled with resentment and resentment, he fell to the ground and breathed his last.
Su Chen was shocked. He didn't expect An Rong to be so decisive and ruthless. He didn't even blink when he killed his own brother.
Although it was true that An Peng deserved to die, An Rong's decisive and direct attitude somewhat overturned Su Chen's impression of him as a cultured and refined gentleman.
"Not good!"
Su Chen was suddenly shocked. An Rong had even killed his own brother. Would he listen to his explanation?
If he wanted to protect his reputation, killing An Peng was not enough. Su Chen and even his wife, Mu Anjie, could be his targets.
Su Chen could already feel the thick killing intent in An Rong's eyes.
"Brother An Rong, there's no need for that. I can leave. From now on, I won't set foot in Soul Lantern City …" Su Chen said solemnly.
An Rong shook his head. "This will leave behind hidden dangers. Only dead people can keep secrets."
As soon as he finished speaking, An Rong stepped in front of Su Chen and grabbed Su Chen's neck.
Under the aura of an Immortal Tribulation expert, the space around Su Chen was firmly sealed. He didn't even have the chance to teleport.
An Rong's strength was astonishing. Even though Su Chen's body was extraordinary, he couldn't resist the killing intent of an Immortal Tribulation expert.
If he was at his peak, he might have a chance to turn the tables. However, Su Chen couldn't even use the Heaven Punishing Explosion. Even if he forced himself to fight, he would die before he could kill his opponent.
But now that things had come to this, Su Chen could not just sit back and wait for death.
The Heaven Punishing Sword buzzed and flew towards An Rong with raging flames.
"Divine weapon!"
An Rong frowned slightly. "Then you should die."
He suddenly increased the strength in his hand, almost crushing Su Chen's neck. Su Chen felt his vision go black and his soul fly out of his body.
"Buzz!"
But at this moment, a gentle soul fluctuation suddenly rippled.
An Rong's arm went soft and he shook off Su Chen. He quickly bowed and knelt down. "Welcome, Soul Grandmaster Cullen."
“
A spiritual light directly penetrated the roof and descended into the room, revealing the figure of a tall and handsome middle-aged man with blond hair and blue eyes. He was wearing a luxurious robe.
The second-rank Soul Grandmaster Cullen of the Soul Hall, a Heaven Ascension Saint!
At this moment, An Rong's mind was quickly thinking of how to explain to Master Cullen to minimize the impact.
When Cullen walked towards him, An Rong quickly organized his words and was ready to frame Su Chen. Anyway, Su Chen was a dying man and had no ability to defend himself.
"Master Cullen …"
Then, just as An Rong was about to take the lead to explain, Cullen did not even look at him. He walked straight past him and walked towards Su Chen.
Cullen reached out and caressed Su Chen's body. A gentle Soul Power entered Su Chen's body.
Su Chen's consciousness instantly recovered.
Cullen revealed a gentle smile and said to Su Chen with a voice like a spring breeze, "Little guy, are you interested in joining Soul Hall and becoming my disciple?"
"What?"
Before Su Chen could speak, An Rong almost jumped up.
"Master Cullen, you can't!
Su Chen's heart isn't in the right place. I brought him home out of goodwill, but he's plotting against my wife. How can such a scum enter the sacred Soul Palace? I'm the most suitable candidate to enter Soul Palace!
“
Karl's brows furrowed. He turned around and said, "An Rong, are you doubting a Soul Grandmaster's insight?
“
"No … An Rong doesn't dare."
An Rong felt the incoming soul pressure and directly knelt on the ground.
A Soul Grandmaster's insight into the soul was incomparable. In front of a Soul Grandmaster, there were almost no secrets that could be hidden. They could grasp your soul without any effort and see through your thoughts. Any kind of crafty schemes and crafty plots were just a waste of effort in front of a Soul Grandmaster.
Only … An Rong still couldn't understand why Master Cullen would take a fancy to Su Chen and personally say he wanted to take Su Chen as a disciple.
One had to know that Soul Grandmasters didn't rashly accept disciples. Even if he entered Soul Palace, he would only start from the most basic of apprentices. Wanting to become a disciple of a Soul Grandmaster was something he didn't dare to think about.
"Since you don't dare, then shut your mouth. I won't look into what you've done, but don't go to Soul Hall in the future. Soul Hall is a sacred place and can't be blasphemed by a clown like you."
Cullen said. His voice was still gentle, but in An Rong's ears, it was like a bolt from the blue.
It's over. My future is ruined!
An Rong fell to the ground in a daze, as if he had lost his soul.
Su Chen was still in a daze. He had no idea what had happened.
"Little guy, put on your clothes and come with me to Soul Hall."
"Ah … oh."
Su Chen hastily searched. He didn't care about his other clothes, but he couldn't lose his Unrivaled Underpants.
Thankfully, they were all here.
