Chapter 1065 - 1065 1051 Suspicion

Chapter 1065: Chapter 1051: Suspicion Chapter 1065: Chapter 1051: Suspicion That day, Su Zhanze returned, carrying half a mask with him that covered the left side of his face, leaving only his nose and eyes exposed. However, there were burn scars on his neck, and his right side was unscathed. One could recognize him as Su Zhanze through the unburned side of his face and the sound of his voice.

Yuan Jingxing greeted him at the entrance, and was startled to see him in such a state, not having expected his burns to be so severe. He knew that Su Zhanze valued his appearance greatly, and the severity of the burns must have caused him tremendous suffering. Approaching him, he offered words of comfort, “It’s good that you’re alive.”

Su Zhanze knew that in Immortal City, the only person who had looked for him on that cliff was Yuan Jingxing, and he laughed, “I am blessed with great fortune; the heavens don’t wish for me to die just yet.”

Yuan Jingxing said, “I searched for you, but where have you been all these days, and have you gotten rid of the demonic aura?” He had learned from Fang Ziren and his group that Su Zhanze had been entangled by demonic energies, suspected of being bewitched.

“Hehe, I encountered a few kind-hearted people who prevented me from going mad,” Su Zhanze walked over.

Yuan Jingxing quickly said, “As long as you’re alive, there’s definitely a way to make those scars on your face disappear.”

How could Su Zhanze not want to remove the scars from his face? But he had already tried and failed, shaking his head he said, “I don’t care about it.” Though he said this, how could he really not care in his heart? Turning his head, he asked, “And you, how have you been?”

“Me, I’m very good. We’ve built quite a few structures during this period, but it will take time to fully restore them to their original state,” answered Yuan Jingxing.

Xiang Zi hurried over upon seeing Su Zhanze. Su Zhanze knew that this man had contributed significantly, as it was thanks to Xiang Zi that his plan had succeeded, and it was also because of Xiang Zi that Ren Xiongbei had not entered Immortal City. If Ren Xiongbei had entered Immortal City, how could he possibly have had a chance to return?

Xiang Zi suggested, “Now that Ren Xiongbei’s deeds have been exposed, someone like him can never become the Sect Leader of our Immortal City Sect. Our sect urgently needs to elect a new Sect Leader.”

Hearing this, a disciple behind him said, “I think there’s no need to elect a new Sect Leader, the Vice Sect Leader is the ideal choice for Sect Leader.”

Approaching from a distance, Qiao Haoyu overheard this and said, “How can that be acceptable? Of course, the Vice Sect Leader’s martial arts surpass mine, but I doubt his capability. His actions lack rationality and calmness, and he’s prone to impulsiveness, which makes him inappropriate for our Sect Leader. I’m just speaking the truth, you wouldn’t mind, right?”

Su Zhanze let out a cold laugh and asked, “How am I not rational in my actions?”

Qiao Haoyu, crossing his arms, walked closer, and Su Zhanze as well as Yuan Jingxing stopped too.

Qiao Haoyu continued, “Originally, in Demon Palace City, we could have defeated the Dragon Clan’s Longhun, but due to your stubbornness, by helping Longhun, our plan failed, leading to the death of many people. Even your father-in-law, Guo Mingyu, died in the process. Isn’t that enough to demonstrate the point?”

Hearing this, Xiang Zi protested, “That was just because Young Master Ze wanted to save the captured people.”

Qiao Haoyu glanced at Yuan Jingxing, knowing that Su Zhanze had saved him, yet still maintained, “Excuses. One has to judge based on the situation and show no favoritism. Such an irrational person is unworthy of being our Sect Leader again.”

“You know shit,” Xiang Zi retorted. “Later on, in order to help the Immortal Demon Domain, Su Zhanze set out to kill Longhun and ended up disfigured like this. He has been wholly dedicated to our cause.”

“That’s just your word; who knows how he ended up like this? Besides, was Longhun killed by him?”

Dongfang Tang also interjected, “Exactly, he doesn’t have the ability to be our Sect Leader. Initially, we made him Sect Leader because he was the master of the Dragon Slayer Sword, but now that he has lost it, how could he possibly retain his position as Sect Leader?”

Qiao Haoyu added, “Precisely. Initially, because the Dragon Slayer Sword had the power to rally the world, we allowed him to become Sect Leader. Now, on what grounds? Just based on his childish temperament and irrational behavior, how could he become Sect Leader?”

Su Zhanze said, “Right, I admit that I was irrational before, but who doesn’t make mistakes? If it weren’t for you and Ren Xiongbei running away, would we have been captured, leading to the subsequent events?”

Qiao Haoyu quickly retorted, “It wasn’t me who abandoned you back then; it was Ren Xiongbei. He was the Sect Leader of Immortal City Sect, so the responsibility should not fall on us.”

“Fine, let’s not talk about that. You just said that because of the Dragon Slayer Sword, I became Sect Leader. So, what if I bring back the lost Dragon Slayer Sword, what then?” Su Zhanze said.

“Hehe, talk to me like that when you actually retrieve the Dragon Slayer Sword,” Qiao Haoyu mocked, well aware that the sword was taken by a group of mysterious people, their identities still unknown.

Dongfang Tang added, “Right, if you can truly bring back the Dragon Slayer Sword, we won’t dwell on the past and will acknowledge you as Sect Leader once more. Otherwise, stop dreaming.” He was sure that Su Zhanze wouldn’t be able to recover the sword.

“Fine, you have my word on that, now, someone.” Su Zhanze beckoned with a wave of his hand.

Subsequently, a person emerged from behind, carrying a long box from the horse car, clearly containing something.

The box was opened before Qiao Haoyu and Dongfang Tang, and a sword levitated out.

Dongfang Tang was stunned and muttered, “The Dragon Slayer Sword.”

Yuan Jingxing was somewhat dumbfounded at the time. How could the Dragon Slayer Sword be in his hand? He almost couldn’t believe it. For two months, so many people had been searching for the whereabouts of the Dragon Slayer Sword, and unexpectedly, it was in Su Zhanze’s possession, which he found unbelievable.

Su Zhanze pulled out the sword, and with a “whoosh” drew it, worried the two of them wouldn’t believe it, he brought it over for them to see.

Qiao Haoyu was also completely baffled. How could the Dragon Slayer Sword that everyone was looking for end up in his hands?

With a sweep of his arm, Su Zhanze swung the sword down, and several beams of light shot out. With a thunderous sound, a willow tree behind the two men was directly blasted apart.

The display shocked both Dongfang Tang and Qiao Haoyu. That was definitely the Dragon Slayer Sword; what else could possess such immense power?

Let’s not renege on our promises,” said Su Zhanze. “Let’s return to the great hall and talk this over slowly.” He then led the way into the hall.

Qiao Haoyu stood rooted to the spot for a long while.

Dongfang Tang’s eyes went wide as he said, “How could the Dragon Slayer Sword be in his hands?”

Qiao Haoyu was at a loss for words. Not having managed to seize the Dragon Slaying Secret Manual the previous night had infuriated him, and letting Ren Xiongbei escape had been the last straw. Now, not knowing where Ren Xiongbei ran off to, they had simply come back because they knew that Su Zhanze would soon return. With Ren Xiongbei no longer the Sect Leader, they had hoped to use this opportunity to fight for the position, but Su Zhanze’s return with the Dragon Slayer Sword meant their chances had significantly diminished.

Without any surprise, Su Zhanze had effortlessly seized the position of Sect Leader of the Immortal City Sect.

It wasn’t long before Yuan Jingxing returned, and Jiang Shizi, having heard that Su Zhanze brought back the Dragon Slayer Sword, couldn’t believe it and asked, “I heard Su Zhanze brought back the Dragon Slayer Sword. Is it true?”

“It’s true. I didn’t expect it either,” answered Yuan Jingxing.

“How did he obtain the Dragon Slayer Sword? Could he be associated with those people who know the martial arts of Dragon Slayer Island?” Jiang Shizi was filled with doubt. She knew that at the time of the struggle for the Dragon Slayer Sword, some of those people knew the martial arts of the Dragon Clan, and it was they who rescued Ren Xiongbei.

“I’m puzzled as well. I didn’t have time to ask,” Yuan Jingxing replied with a face full of questions, still surprised by the turn of events.

“He has become the Sect Leader of Immortal City again, hasn’t he?”

Yuan Jingxing nodded in response.

Jiang Shizi continued, “I heard that the ones who took Longhun away in Bell and Drum City were also a group skilled in the Dragon Clan’s martial arts. It couldn’t be Su Zhanze who took Longhun too, could it?”

He was as perplexed as Jiang Shizi and still didn’t understand.

“How did Su Zhanze become so capable? He got the Dragon Slayer Sword without making a sound, and you didn’t know anything about it.” Jiang Shizi’s face brimmed with suspicion. “I heard he was disfigured; is that true?”

“Yes, the left side of his face was burned, and there are scars on his neck too,” Yuan Jingxing said.

“That’s quite a harsh fate. Su Zhanze always treasured his face the most.” Jiang Shizi really didn’t expect Su Zhanze to be so miraculous and continued, “Could it be that everything Ren Xiongbei said was true, that Su Zhanze drove Fang Ziren insane and also stole the Dragon Slaying Secret Manual?”

Yuan Jingxing was astonished and asked, “Why would you think that?”

“Wasn’t it Fang Ziren who pushed Su Zhanze off the cliff? With such capability as to obtain the Dragon Slayer Sword, it’s possible he ambushed Fang Ziren with Xiang Zi and framed Ren Xiongbei.” Jiang Shizi had heard many rumors these past days and, upon contemplation, thought there was some logic to them. “Xiang Zi was originally Ren Xiongbei’s man! It’s clear that Su Zhanze was embedded next to Ren Xiongbei. Besides, I’ve always suspected whether Ren Xiongbei truly had the ability to set up such a grand scheme. True, he had the Immortal Pearl, but driving Fang Ziren to madness seems difficult.”

After hearing all this, Yuan Jingxing was left speechless.

Jiang Shizi shook her head and resumed, “Honestly, I’m becoming more and more impressed with Su Zhanze. He quietly got his hands on the Dragon Slayer Sword that everyone else was searching for.”

Yuan Jingxing looked at Jiang Shizi, equally at a loss for words.

Standing up, Jiang Shizi said, “Ah, well, it’s not our business anyway. I just hope that the emergence of the Dragon Slayer Sword doesn’t stir up any trouble. I’ll go make dinner.” She then headed outside.

The questions swirling in Yuan Jingxing’s mind were no fewer than Jiang Shizi’s, and he too began to doubt. In fact, he was aware that Su Zhanze knew Ren Xiongbei’s palm technique.
