Chapter 1393 - 1393 1379 Accepting the Challenge

Chapter 1393: Chapter 1379: Accepting the Challenge Chapter 1393: Chapter 1379: Accepting the Challenge “If we don’t dare to face the challenge, it will deal us a huge blow,” said Su Zhanze.

“Of course, but we must also be sure of ourselves,” replied Lou Xuancheng.

“What more assurance do we need? Is Longhun immortal? Last time, had he not escaped so quickly, I would have killed him already. He is not as invincible as people say, nor does he have three heads and six arms,” Su Zhanze said with some disdain.

“Indeed, he is certainly not some creature with three heads and six arms. As long as you are confident, I am reassured.”

In Su Zhanze’s view, Lou Xuancheng seemed to have little faith in him, showing distrust in his one-month seclusion. As Alliance Leader, he even hesitated to decide on the final battle, indicating that he truly feared the Dragon Slaying Clan.

However, thinking about it, Su Zhanze realized that being consulted was still a sign of considerable respect.

“Then let’s assemble and accept the Battle Letter.”

“Stop hesitating. Since they are so eager for a decisive battle, and we are too afraid to respond, then the realms of immortals and demons in the Central Plains will no longer belong to us.”

The discussion concluded in less than two hours.

With Su Zhanze’s agreement, Lou Xuancheng immediately sent out a message to assemble, accepting Longhun’s Battle Letter. In truth, he was also hoping for a battle to resolve the issue with the Dragon Slaying Clan.

Su Zhanze took Chen Yu and left.

Chen Yu said, “Lou Xuancheng can’t even make a decision, and yet he acts as Alliance Leader!”

“I don’t care who the Alliance Leader is right now; what I want is to defeat Longhun,” Su Zhanze declared.

“But I’m worried that once Longhun is defeated, they will forget about us. Then they will want to thoroughly investigate the matters involving Ren Xiongbei and Fang Ziren. If they really do dig something up, just like the time Xiong Shuobo stabbed us in the back, what then?”

“Has Lin Ruoqin been found?” Su Zhanze asked.

“That damn girl is indeed tough to handle. I really have no idea where she’s hidden herself,” said Chen Yu, somewhat crestfallen.

“Is Xiong Shuobo investigating this matter?”

“Yes, he is, and he’s more active than anyone,” Chen Yu confirmed.

Su Zhanze, somewhat angry, said, “Where on earth did I offend this guy? Why is he so fixated on me? Fang Ziren’s death brought him no benefits, did it!”

“I heard that some suspect Xiong Shuobo is behind Fang Ziren’s death,” Chen Yu revealed.

Fang Ziren had not been gone long, gone mad with power, when he met an inexplicable death by drowning.

“What? His death was orchestrated by Xiong Shuobo?” Su Zhanze was somewhat incredulous.

Chen Yu explained, “Yes, although Fang Ziren had gone mad, Gu Xueyun found a secret medic who said he could help Fang Ziren return to normal.”

“What, really?”

“Yes, and after hearing this, Xiong Shuobo reportedly became worried. Gu Xueyun had found a secret medic and went to look for Fang Ziren in the mountains, where Fang Ziren was found drowned in a pool,” said Chen Yu.

“He drowned himself?”

“Impossible, even a man driven mad would not drown himself.”

“You mean, someone drowned the maddened Fang Ziren?”

“I heard that Xiong Shuobo was worried that Fang Ziren returning to normal would not bode well for him, but whether it’s true or not, I do not know,” continued Chen Yu as they walked.

“That’s right, if Fang Ziren had recovered, he would still have been the former Sect Leader of Heavenly City.”

“Exactly, which would have been very unfavorable for Xiong Shuobo,” said Chen Yu, continuing,” Gu Xueyun found signs of a struggle by the pool where Fang Ziren drowned. They arrived shortly after it had happened; Fang Ziren hadn’t been dead long.”

“That’s truly surprising, that in Heavenly City, Fang Ziren drowned.”

“Yes, and that’s precisely what’s so mysterious. Although Fang Ziren had gone mad, Gu Xueyun had several powerful protectors looking after him, but he still ended up drowned within the city of Heavenly City.”

With a cold laugh, Su Zhanze said, “There are not many in Heavenly City capable of such a feat, so naturally, Gu Xueyun first suspected Xiong Shuobo. Xiong Shuobo feared that if Fang Ziren was cured and returned to contest the position of Sect Leader, or even if not for the leadership, it would still be massively detrimental to him. After all, who would the people listen to then—him or Fang Ziren? Would they listen to Fang Ziren over him?”

“Heh, indeed.”

“Xiong Shuobo only became Sect Leader by sheer luck. As far as abilities go, he’s not even on par with Gu Xueyun, and his martial arts only improved because he snatched half of the Dragon Slaying Secret Manual from Fang Ziren. Without that half of the Secret Manual, he couldn’t even beat Gu Xueyun.”

“That is also true.”

“However, he did indeed solve a big problem for us. If Fang Ziren really survived, he might guess who stole the Secret Manual from his hands that day and expose us,”

“Yes, I didn’t expect there was such a thing.”

Chen Yu continued to analyze, “Gu Xueyun has started to suspect Xiong Shuobo. That’s why Xiong Shuobo is so eager to pursue us.”

Su Zhanze suddenly realized and said, “You mean he’s diverting attention.”

“Right, that’s what I think. Gu Xueyun suspects someone drowned the crazed Fang Ziren and points directly at Xiong Shuobo because his motive is most obvious. If he can shift the focus away from himself, he will no longer be under suspicion after some time.”

Having listened, Su Zhanze sneered and said, “How could this bastard be so vile? Compared to me, he’s the truly evil one. I drove Fang Ziren mad for revenge, but he directly drowned the man. So, it’s he who is truly wicked.”

“More than wicked. He only became Sect Leader because of our efforts, yet now, to shift the focus, he insists on targeting us.”

Su Zhanze asked, “So is this old guy also looking for Lin Ruoqin?”

“Indeed, he’s much more proactive than us. We’re looking for Lin Ruoqin while also protecting our identities. If others find out we’re searching for Lin Ruoqin, it won’t be good for us, but Xiong Shuobo can openly search for her.”

Su Zhanze said, “Of course, this means he takes Fang Ziren’s madness very seriously, aside from shifting power dynamics, he also wants to establish his prestige.”

“Yes, I’m genuinely worried Lin Ruoqin might be found by him.”

“So that’s the situation. I wondered why he was suddenly crossing swords with me; there’s another layer to this. He’s a repugnant fellow, even more vicious than me, yet so self-righteously assured,”

Chen Yu said, “It’s a pity Fang Ziren was drowned. I didn’t know a month ago what Gu Xueyun suspected. Had I known before the Alliance meeting, I definitely would have revealed it then, but unfortunately, I only found out about it afterward.”

Su Zhanze nodded slightly.

“In any case, Xiong Shuobo is thoroughly rotten. He thinks that uncovering the truth behind Fang Ziren’s madness will make people forget the fact that he was drowned.”

“Indeed an annoying old bastard.”

“But it has alerted us. Lin Ruoqin must not fall into his hands.”

“Don’t let me find an opportunity, or I won’t let him off easily,” Su Zhanze said, his eyes clearly filled with murderous intent.

“Right now, it’s him who’s giving us trouble. Lou Xuancheng has stopped bothering with the matter, yet he bites on us like a mad dog, refusing to let go.”

Su Zhanze coldly said, “Lou Xuancheng is no good either. Although he’s quiet now, he will investigate in the future. I already know he’s having people look into it.”

“Then we must find Lin Ruoqin faster than them. As long as Lin Ruoqin is killed, there will be no witness left.”

“Damn Xiang Zi, couldn’t even keep an eye on Lin Ruoqin, so useless,” Su Zhanze thought of the day’s events.”

“They suspect us, but without evidence, they can’t do anything to us.”

“Damn it, let’s settle the matter with Longhun first.”

“The infuriating part is, these guys are expecting us to deal with Longhun for them, and behind our backs, they are investigating us. Without our help, how could they possibly stand against Longhun?”

“Let’s defeat Longhun first,” Longhun was indeed the biggest threat, with no way out if defeated. Discussing this now would be meaningless.

Longhun was somewhat unexpected, having not anticipated that Lou Xuancheng would accept the Battle Letter so quickly. He thought Lou Xuancheng would hesitate for a while and not agree so readily. It seemed Su Zhanze was quite confident after all.

“This way, we can eradicate them in one fight and save all the running around,” Mo Ku said.

Longhun modestly replied, “If they dare to come, it shows they have some confidence, at least they believe Su Zhanze can defeat me.”

Mo Ku said, “That’s because they don’t know how powerful the Sacred Spirit Stone truly is.”

“No matter how powerful, there is a limit. I’ve heard Su Zhanze also secluded himself for a month and just came out, probably to deal with me.”

Ren Haotian, who was beside them, sneered and said, “That narrow-minded fellow won’t amount to much, a short-sighted creature, no match for the Island Master.”

Longhun said, “He lacks foresight, but lately, he has become far-sighted and crueler than before. Otherwise, how could he have seized the Dragon Slayer Sword, captured me, nearly killed me, and still scheme against you and your son? It does show he has improved since before.”

Ren Haotian coldly said, “He may have improved a bit, but he’s too self-important, thinking he can defeat us. Ye Chen resolved his misunderstanding, yet he seeks to kill and confront. If that guy were still around, we would be more on the defensive, so his progress is limited after all.”

“You all should tell me how we’re going to deal with them when the time comes.”

“I don’t see any clever plan needed. They’re just a rabble, not a few good birds among them. Mainly, as long as we are ferocious enough, they will be immediately defeated.”
