Book 3: Clear River in Turmoil - Chapter 25: Control (1/2)

Chapter 25: Control

Yuan Lieyang was the only other Yang Opening Realin Bureau apart from Liu Wuya

Of note was that he wasn’t actually Liu Wuya’s follower, and his relationshi+p with the Bloodline nobility Clans eak However, this only meant that their interactions were limited; there was no way that they wouldn’t interact at all Every Origin Qi Scholar within the bureau had, one way or another, taken advantage of the benefits offered by the Bloodline nobility Clans Otherwise, they ht not have been able to make it And even if they wanted ive it to the was someone like this

He wasn’t a die-hard supporter of Liu Wuya, and he had taken advantage of some benefits from the ten Bloodline nobility Clans He wasn’t blindly loyal to Liu Wuya, but he had never opposed hihts

His displeasure with Su Chen was because Su Chen had taken the Knowledge Executor position he had longed for It had nothing to do with the ten Bloodline nobility Clans

Even though his rank was lower than Su Chen’s, his strength as so realm wasn’t easy to overlook

Thus, if he didn’t take care of Yuan Lieyang, Su Chen wouldn’t be able to truly bring everyone in the Origin Bureau under his control

Yuan Lieyang was the last one to be notified

Cao Zhengjun was very smart; he immediately understood Su Chen’s intentions and left the hardest bones for last He let Su Chen deal with all of the weeds first before focusing all of his attention on dealing with Yuan Lieyang

By the tiin Qi Scholars, and the front yard was packed with e nu in the seat of honor, his expression became even more complicated

“You……”

He pointed at Su Chen and said in disbelief, “Su Chen, what are you doing?”

Then, he glanced at everyone else “What are you all doing? Don’t you see that Su Chen is sitting in City Head Liu’s spot? You aren’t forcing him down here?”

Su Chen replied, “There’s no need, Sir Yuan City Head Liu is no longer here; as the Knowledge Executor, I’ his position teazed in shock at Su Chen “What happened to City Head Liu?”

“Naturally, he died”

“Died?” Yuan Lieyang repeated that word before he recovered somewhat from his shock “Died? How did he die?”

“The Clear River City Long Clan ignored kingdom law and assaulted City Head Liu City Head Liu weeded out the traitors, but hadn’t expected to be attacked here He died on the job”

“The Long Clan!” Yuan Lieyang yelled

What kind of joke was this?

But he immediately understood soon after “You killed Liu Wuya?”

Su Chen gently swirled the cup of tea in his hand “Sir Yuan, a loose tongue causes a lot of trouble I already said that City Head Liu died to the Long Clan If you still maintain that I was the one who killed hi a superior?”

Yuan Lieyang quickly restrained his elanced at everyone else “So you all think this is the case too?”

An Origin Qi Scholar bowed “In reply to sir, since Knowledge Executor Su has said as much, that’s how it happened”

This person was called Duan Feng His status within the Origin Bureau wasn’t high He had apparently offended Liu Wuya in the past; as such, he had always been suppressed After Liu Wuya died, he was the first to recognize Su Chen’s position

This was a very risky decision He had picked a side very quickly while the situation had still been unclear; if the winds were to suddenly change, he would undoubtedly have a tragic fate Short-term, there was the retaliation fro was in the Yang Opening real realm They were in co had chosen to do so anyway

He had seen Liu Wuya’s strength before, and he had watched Su Chen kill one of Liu Wuya’s Blood Boiling Realle blow He didn’t believe for a second that Su Chen was suicidal

If he dared to do it, he had so him the confidence to do it

That hy he had chosen to support Su Chen without hesitation

Even though this was quite risky, there would be a large payoff

Yuan Lieyang harru, and the others? Why aren’t they here?”

“They ith City Head Liu Wuya at the time, so they probably suffered the saaze trehtly
