Volume 2, Chapter 20 – The Second Stage of the Radiant Qi Realm, Three Great Daos to Immortality
“Eldest Young Master, we found the Second Young Master…” This voice came from a cultivator who hurriedly lowered his head and didn’t dare to look at Su Yihong.
“Carry it up.”
There were no changes in Su Yihong’s expression. However, everyone who was familiar with him could see from his expression that he was barely able to contain his murderous intent.
A cultivator who was standing on the side waved his hand as two warriors came in with fear and trepidation. One of them held a headless corpse while the other one held a head.
Su Yihong’s eyes were like the tip of a blade as he stared at the head, giving off a chilly feeling for everyone who was standing around him. At this time, only He Guo dared to speak in a low voice, “Eldest Young Master, there are only the remains of the Second Young Master, the other remnants are incomplete. Someone must have been moving them, so we can’t find out what kind of weapon killed them.”
Su Yihong coldly snorted, “Do you know who is missing?”
He Guo spoke in a solemn tone, “Zhang Yan.”
Su Yihong’s eyes became more chilly and icy, causing everyone around him to unconsciously step back.
He Guo, with an ashamed expression, then whispered, “Asking the Eldest Young Master, how should we handle this matter?”
The Flying Sunlight Tower was. .h.i.t-wrecked by the Purple Heart Core Hammer, so it was not difficult to trace this. Moreover, if one were to examine it, they would be able to find out that the magical weapon’s owner was He Guo, who had a close relations.h.i.+p with the Su Family. Therefore, they must handle this issue cleanly with care, otherwise, anyone can a.s.sociate this incident to the Su Family.
He Fang received the hammer when he left, and not only were they unable to know whether he was still alive or not, but there were also make dismal results, causing He Guo to have no face to face Su Yihong.
Su Yihong looked at the remnants of the broken bricks and tiles with a tense and vexed expression as he waved his hand.
Even without being told explicitly, He Guo understood. He sighed, turned around and said, “You wait here as previously ordered, first clean up and take care of this place. Remember to put up a few Demon cultivators’ corpses and don’t leave the slightest clues.”
Although they originally wanted to s.h.i.+ft the blame toward the Water Demon from the Nine Twisted Stream Palace. However, they obviously had suffered invisible losses in accordance to the previous arrangement. They still even had to clean up the aftermath, causing everyone here to feel dejected and frustrated.
Su Yihong turned around and looked to the side toward a dwarf cultivator who had small eyebrows and eyes, “Mr. Yang, this Su would like to ask for some advice. How should we proceed to the next step?” Zhang Yan’s abrupt and unexpected actions had disrupted his original deployment, and now he was hesitating on how to make decisions.
Mr. Yang stroked his spa.r.s.e and fragmentary beard before he unhurriedly replied, “Eldest Young Master, at the moment, we could use the Second Young Master’s death as an excuse and immediately attack and capture the Deep Ford Gorge in one fell swoop.”
Su Yihong’s brows knitted, “If we use the Second Young Master’s death as an excuse, it would be seen as avenging for a personal grudge and not
for common interest since we don’t have a just and righteous cause. What I am afraid of is that the Sect Master would look at my Su Family and incite troublesome matters.”
The Su Family had yet to be fully prepared to go hostile against the Azure Ocean Sect. And taking actions in regards for a personal grudge, it was also impossible to wage war with either Ji Jiushang or the Azure Ocean Sect. The resulting consequences would cause the entire Su Family to fall, and they would be doomed to lose many advantages and benefits.
Mr. Yang sternly replied, “Eldest Young Master, after we occupy this genuine Dragon’s den, the Su Family could immediately establish a base in this place. We could advance and retreat again at that time, so the gain is greater than the loss. This time we have reached the point of no return and could only move forward, we mustn’t by any means have any hesitation.”
Su Yihong thought for a moment before he slowly shook his head and said, “Honorable Mister, even though you say that, we still need reasonable excuses. You have actually forgotten that our main goal is to capture the Deep Ford Gorge. We can find out any excuses afterward.” He paused and then shouted, “He Guo!”
He Guo stood and bowed, “Eldest Young Master, please command us!”
“Take several groups of manpower to cruise and patrol around the Azure Ocean Sect’s border for the next 10 days. If there are any suspicious people heading towards the Sect, kill all of them!”
He Guo received the order respectfully and said, “Yes!”
Su Yihong looked around and said, “Where is Miao Kun?”
“Present!” A short, robust, and strong cultivator stood with a grinning-like expression on his face, completely unlike the other cultivators who were apprehensive and nervous.
Su Yihong glanced at him, he frowned for a second and then said, “I will also give you 10 days, take several people to sweep over the direction to the Water State. In case you find this person, kill him!”
Miao Kun cupped his hands at will and replied while smiling, “Receiving order.”
Having completed the arrangement, Su Yihong walked toward the Palace’s jade stairs. He flung his Qilin cloak on his back and loudly shouted, “The rest of you, follow me to attack the Deep Ford Gorge immediately. We will avenge the Second Young Master!”
Everyone loudly shouted their acknowledgment as dozens of profound lights soared to the sky. The Golden Palace followed behind them, rus.h.i.+ng to kill in the Nine Twisted Stream Palace’s direction.
3 months later.
The Rainbow Stonefield Water State’s frontier.
