Regarding this point, Chen Shuo had also briefly asked Su Yuanying how many vampires needed to be eliminated to advance from Platinum Tier 3 to Legendary Demon Hunter.
Su Yuanying didn't give a direct answer, not because he was unwilling to share, but because even for him, that legendary realm was still very far away.
First of all, only eliminating advanced vampires and above could provide a slight increase in strength.
Mid-level vampires, and even some low-level ones, no matter how many you killed, wouldn't provide any improvement.
However, advanced vampires were few in number, and even rarer were those above that level, such as Half Ghost Kings, Demon Kings, and Semi-Legendary Ghost Saints.
If one could kill these, the power boost would naturally be rapid.
But these were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns. Not only that, but the difficulty in killing them was also extremely high.
For Su Yuanying, he had virtually no chance of victory if he were to face a Demon King alone.
Even if he really had to deal with one, he would need to organize a team of hunters with similar strength levels. Only by relying on special formations and demon-hunting equipment could they kill a Demon King.
Because it was a team effort, the experience gained from killing a Demon King would naturally be divided among them.
What could satisfy one person's hunger wouldn't be enough for a group.
This was also why, after so many years, there weren't many who had broken through to become Legendary Demon Hunters.
Even Semi-Legendary hunters like Su Yuanying were already considered the elite among demon hunters, looked up to by many.
This presented a major problem for Chen Shuo: where could he find so many Demon Kings to kill?
At least for now, there were no more Demon Kings in Su City, and the remaining scattered forces couldn't amount to much.
In the time that followed, Chen Shuo chatted with Su Yuanying about many things, including his current thoughts.
Su City's development had reached its limit for Su Xiyan, and the fact that she had broken through to Platinum Tier 3 couldn't be concealed for much longer.
You can't keep a secret forever; given enough time, the truth would come out.
Moreover, to restore himself to his original state, he would have to wait for Su Xiyan to successfully break through to Legendary Demon Hunter.
So leaving Su City for broader horizons was the best choice right now.
"Uncle, I..."
"Alright, I understand. I know what you mean. Young people always need to go out and make their own way. You have your own path to walk, so I support you."
Su Yuanying interrupted Chen Shuo before he could finish speaking.
Despite his seemingly casual words, Su Yuanying's expression wasn't so composed.
As someone who had been through it all, he knew the dangers that lay ahead. But sometimes reality was just like that; people always have to grow up.
They always have to leave the protection of their parents, even though Su Yuanying hadn't been by Su Xiyan's side for these years.
But whenever something happened to Su Xiyan, Su Yuanying, far away in the capital, always knew about it.
In fact, Su Yuanying had secretly arranged protectors around Su Xiyan, only withdrawing them when he personally returned.
This was Su Yuanying's other form of protection for Su Xiyan, a silent protection.
Even though he had never mentioned it to anyone, some things didn't need to be said after being done. A father's love is as vast as a mountain; no matter when, what he hopes for is always for his children to live well.
Now that his daughter had grown up and found someone worthy of entrusting her to, Su Yuanying, as a father, naturally had to let go.
Children are like kites; the tighter you hold on, the faster they fall.
Learning to loosen your grip at the right time can actually make the kite fly higher.
"Uncle, don't worry. As long as I'm here, I won't let Xiyan suffer even the slightest harm."
Chen Shuo's eyes were determined, his tone firm and powerful.
"Good, that's all I need to hear from you. Alright, let's not talk about these emotional things anymore. After all, this vampire extermination can be considered a great achievement. Shouldn't we celebrate properly?"
Su Yuanying took a deep breath, suddenly changing the subject.
He was also afraid that saying too much would only add to his sorrow.
Chen Shuo naturally wouldn't refuse Su Yuanying's suggestion. This was Su City's biggest victory to date, of course it was worth celebrating.
"Uncle, celebration is necessary, but my parents haven't been rescued yet, so..."
Chen Shuo awkwardly brought up this issue, as he had been postponing the matter of his parents due to the events here.
"Look at my forgetful head, I completely forgot about all this."
Su Yuanying slapped his forehead hard, realizing he had been so caught up in his own affairs that he had forgotten about Chen Shuo's parents.
"My son-in-law, this is all due to my oversight. How about this, I'll accompany you to go."
Su Yuanying volunteered, wanting to make up for his previous negligence.
"Uncle, I can handle my parents' situation. You have many matters to attend to here, so there's no need for you to go personally."
Chen Shuo wasn't an unreasonable person. Su Yuanying was swamped with daily affairs as numerous as a small mountain.
Especially this time, with the big purge of vampires.
There was a lot of follow-up work to be done, and many matters needed someone to resolve them.
Now that Su Yuanying was the top official in Su City, these heavy responsibilities naturally fell on his shoulders.
"Very well, it's good that you're so understanding, son-in-law. Alright then, I'll wait for your good news at home. When your parents arrive, I must get to know them properly, and we can also discuss your matters with my daughter."
Su Yuanying laughed heartily, which made Su Xiyan beside him feel a bit embarrassed.
"Dad, what are you saying?"
"What's wrong with what I'm saying? The in-laws are about to meet, shouldn't I accompany them properly? And then discuss the wedding plans for you and my son-in-law?"
Su Yuanying looked serious; he wasn't joking at all.
He had this plan from the beginning. After so many interactions, he had come to appreciate Chen Shuo's character.
It was because Chen Shuo was reliable that he was willing to entrust his daughter to him. What did it matter if Chen Shuo was a vampire?
As long as Chen Shuo and Su Xiyan loved each other, all barriers and chasms could be crossed.
Even if there were difficulties, even if there was gossip, so what?
Chen Shuo was the one his daughter loved. As long as she loved and cared, that was enough.
"Dad, please stop talking..."
Su Xiyan's face flushed red to her ears. At this moment, she wished she could find a crack in the ground to slip into.
"How can I not talk about this? What I'm saying is important, it's the key point."
"You can keep talking, I'm leaving..."
Su Xiyan was too embarrassed to listen further and fled, taking big steps towards the outside.
Watching his daughter leave in such a shy manner, Su Yuanying couldn't help but shake his head and smile: "My daughter has finally grown up, she knows how to be shy now..."
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.

I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
