Chapter 1609 - 1610: Elder Council Incident
"That guy wasn’t wrong, you really are a madman."
The Heaven-Mending Stone said softly, then examined Su Chengyu’s injuries. After confirming there was no major issue, it stopped speaking further.
The Heaven-Mending Stone was well aware of Su Chengyu’s current level of strength. With its assistance, as long as the opponent wasn’t at the Hollow Void Late Stage or a High Grade Martial Emperor, they could fight, and even defeat the other party.
Just as Su Chengyu had threatened earlier—if they continued to fight, the outcome remained uncertain.
However, in this life-and-death gamble, Luo Zongyuan was unwilling to bet. As a gambler already at the table, to quit halfway naturally meant forfeiting all the chips invested so far.
Of course, Su Chengyu couldn’t be considered a complete winner either; not only had his identity been exposed, but his injuries had further worsened.
Luo Zongyuan likely hadn’t noticed this, but it didn’t change the fact that Su Chengyu would need to recuperate for some time.
Within the waterfall, Su Chengyu, sitting cross-legged and adjusting his breath, had not fully entered meditation when an external presence suddenly alerted the Heaven-Mending Stone, instantly putting them on guard. Simultaneously, Su Chengyu opened his eyes.
The Heaven-Mending Stone and Su Chengyu sensed someone approaching the waterfall at almost the same moment.
"Here to catch you?"
The Heaven-Mending Stone asked in confusion.
