Chapter 1653: Chapter Ninety-Four: Conclusion

After seeing Dragon Fang show up, Chi Donglai knew that the situation was beyond salvageable, as several powerhouses with strength not inferior to the peak of Fierce Realm, coupled with Dragon Fang who knew him inside out. Let alone being injured, even in perfect condition, the chances of escaping with his life were less than 30 percent.

If it were the former master of Xiong Ya Mansion, facing such a desperate situation of certain death, he would kneel and beg for mercy, preserving his useful existence for future opportunities.

But facing Dragon Fang who he had personally trained yet so resolutely betrayed him, his knees just wouldn’t bend.

’Even in death, I will make sure this beast goes down with me!’

The violent collision of Spiritual Power roared underground, and the unrestrained confrontation caused the suburbs near Da Lin City to collapse. The once-famous underground market of Da Lin City was buried beneath the earth, and missing along with it was the first King of Hunters from the Bounty Guild.

When Dragon Fang returned to the Bounty Guild with Chi Donglai’s head, Ye Qingcang took over the head with a sigh, respectfully placed it in a brocaded box, and solemnly said to the Housekeeper, "The prosperity of the Bounty Guild today cannot be separated from the efforts of Master Chi. Even though he has passed, we must bury him with honors to acknowledge his contributions."

The Housekeeper took the brocaded box respectfully but hesitated, "But Master, if someone asks how Master Chi died, how should we respond?"

"Master Chi together with Master Shentu discovered that there was a secret market in Da Lin that was plotting against Dragon Gate, and they joined forces to fight the culprits. In the end, one died and the other was injured."

Ye Qingcang indifferently instructed, "Just handle it this way."

With the brocaded box containing Chi Donglai’s head in his hands, the Housekeeper left. Dragon Fang knelt on one knee, gratefully saying, "Thank you, Guild President, for preserving the Master’s honor."

"What are you doing, Dragon Lord? Please rise."

Ye Qingcang stepped forward to help Dragon Fang up and sighed, "It’s a shame, had it not been for the larger picture involving the Commerce Alliance, how could such a thing happen? It’s also my fault for not foreseeing the severity of the situation, causing the Guild to lose a Master!"

"The President’s nobility is great. Originally, those in Xiong Ya Mansion were just a bunch of desperate and pitiful people who, despite having the skills to kill, could only be driven like cattle and horses. It was the President who persuaded us, allowing the Mansion to live the days we have now. Anyone who threatens these good days is an enemy to Dragon Fang!"

"As long as Dragon Lord thinks this way, I am relieved."

Ye Qingcang held Dragon Fang’s arms, his face full of sincerity, "Now that Master Chi has passed away and Master Shentu is severely injured, I am worried about how to deal with the affairs of the Bounty Guild. Since Dragon Lord is willing to stand up, it really couldn’t get any better."

"Dragon Fang will not let the President down!"

...

Red Cloud Mountain, Unparalleled Academy

"Principal, Principal!"

With the reply from Da Lin City in hand, Du Ling, full of excitement, found Tang Luo, "Da Lin City has sent a reply! The Commerce Alliance warmly welcomes the decision to open the Five-turn Dragon Gate in Da Lin City. Moreover, they have cleared and requisitioned the most prosperous East Market along with several colosseums that can house ten thousand people, to facilitate the reception work during the spiritual test of Dragon Gate."

"The Commerce Alliance of Da Lin even dispatched eight thousand members of the Tearoom Mansion Soldiers, a hundred warriors from the Fierce Realm, and three titled powerhouses to take full responsibility for the security of Dragon Gate."

"Finally, some guild presidents mentioned that the Bounty Guild was shocked to learn there was a force within Da Lin City intending to target the Dragon Gate. The master of Xiong Ya Mansion and the master of Demon Slaughter Palace joined forces to subdue them, but at the cost of one death and one severe injury, they suppressed what was so-called the black market. The Academy need not worry about any petty individuals causing trouble during the operation of Dragon Gate."

Upon reaching this point, Du Ling could hardly contain the excitement in his heart and applauded, "With just a single letter, the Principal has forced such a stance from the Da Lin associates! Such authority is comparable only to the Holy Land of Heaven Sect and the Principal himself!"

"The Commerce Alliance is not taking such a stance because they fear The Academy, Ye Qingcang is indeed a person who can take and let go."

Tang Luo took the letter from Du Ling’s hands, glanced at it, and placed it on the table, lamenting, "Two powers comparable to Grandmasters, what a pity!"

Du Ling, failing to grasp the profound implication in Tang Luo’s words and still immersed in the superior feeling of being highly respected by the Academy, agreeably endorsed, "Both Chi Donglai and Shentu Jihui understood the matters well but underestimated the power of Da Lin’s secret market, it is indeed a pity."

"Haha, Elder Du Ling really believes what the Commerce Alliance wrote?"

Pointing at the letter, Tang Luo tapped it with his finger, causing a ’tap, tap’ sound on the desk, and smiled as he asked, "This dark market in Da Lin City, without the support of the Commerce Alliance, how could it have possibly operated? As for the ’dark offer’ targeting the Academy, if it weren’t for the King of Hunters of the Bounty Guild, who else would dare to accept it?"

Startled, Du Ling exclaimed, "Are you suggesting the ’dark offer’ against the Dragon Gate originated from the Commerce Alliance’s directive?"

"At the very least, it’s with the tacit approval of the Commerce Alliance."

Tang Luo replied indifferently, "After all, they are merchants who know which way the wind is blowing. I had thought the Commerce Alliance, knowing that the Dragon Gate was to be established in Da Lin, would concoct a plan for the Bounty Guild, but I didn’t expect them to make such a resolute decision, choosing to sacrifice two Kings of Hunters rather than take risks. That did surprise me!"

Hearing these words, Du Ling’s heart missed a beat, and he asked tremulously, "If the Commerce Alliance of Da Lin City truly assisted the Bounty Guild in scheming, then our Academy’s Five-turn Dragon Gate..."

"Naturally, it can’t be preserved."

Tang Luo shrugged and said nonchalantly, "There are no fewer than ten titled powerhouses in Da Lin City, not to mention other hidden forces. With the cunning facing the unprepared, even if Miaowei the Immortal is guarding, the Dragon Gate could still be very likely jeopardized."

"With such danger, why would the Principal still choose to restart the Dragon Gate in Da Lin City?!"

Unable to hide his trepidation, Du Ling felt that if the Commerce Alliance of Da Lin acted obstinately and the Dragon Gate was compromised, the loss to the Academy would be immeasurable.
