Super God Grandmaster
Chapter 923 - 923 909 Opportunity

Chapter 923: Chapter 909: Opportunity Chapter 923: Chapter 909: Opportunity Dragon Soul put Su Zhanze to the test, and just today, Zhan Ze had a bloody fight alongside Fang Ziren and his men. Of course, he was very unwilling to do so, but he had no choice. Otherwise, Dragon Soul would not trust him.

But now there was a problem, which was that Dragon Soul would definitely continue to test him, making it difficult for him to avoid hurting the people of Heavenly City and the Demon Domain. Today, he had injured Gu Xueyun, and although he held back, he had certainly led Fang Ziren’s people to believe that he had betrayed the Demon Domain. He didn’t want to continue like this, and he believed that soon enough, Dragon Soul would have him kill people from the Demon Domain—then he would have to decide whether to act or not.

Another point was that although he had managed to lure the Fire Mastiff onto himself, his martial arts skills were still not strong enough to defeat Dragon Soul. The Fire Mastiff within him was unstable, and if he wanted to kill Dragon Soul, he would have to catch him alone. But Dragon Soul was always surrounded by a group of people, so how could Zhan Ze wait for him to be alone? Even if Dragon Soul was alone, it would still be tough to handle him without help—he needed assistance.

But who would help him?

He didn’t know what he was doing anymore, but he knew that if he continued this way, assisting the Dragon Slaying Clan in killing the Demon Domain’s forces, he would truly have no way of turning back. He hadn’t expected things to turn out this way.

He didn’t know what to do.

With frustration and dejection in his heart, he wandered the streets, looking for a place to drink.

Suddenly, someone bumped into him—it seemed as if the person was careless, hurriedly coming towards him. Zhan Ze could tell the person knew martial arts, but it was the insignia on the man’s neck that caught his attention.

Wasn’t that the emblem of the Dragon Slaying Clan?

Yes, it should be the emblem worn by the disciples of the Dragon Slaying Clan. He had seen many of the clan’s disciples wearing such emblems on their necks, but most of the clan’s disciples were supposed to be arranged by Mitra Monk by now. Why was there still a disciple in this small town? Could it be one of Dragon Soul’s spies?

Feeling the mystery, he quickly followed the man, wanting to see what he was going to do.

The person who had bumped into him soon met up with two others who were not headed towards Dragon Soul’s inn but to another inn.

Zhan Ze quietly followed them inside and saw those few men heading towards a mysterious room. They looked around cautiously, acting as if they were afraid of being discovered, which puzzled Zhan Ze even more.

There were people from the Dragon Slaying Clan in this inn, which meant they should be under Dragon Soul’s command, so why were they here instead of seeking out Dragon Soul? With this question in mind, he needed to figure out who exactly these Dragon Slaying Clan fellows were.

Through a tile on the roof, he saw seven or eight people in the room. His martial arts were strong, so none of the people inside detected him.

“Dragon Soul is in the inn up front, should we go and kill him now?” one of the subordinates asked.

“No rush, we’ll talk about it tomorrow,” replied Ling Li, who had witnessed his own father Ling Feng being murdered. Even though he fell into the sea and survived without dying, he was pursued by the people of the Dragon Slaying Clan and only managed to escape with difficulty.

But he hadn’t forgotten that he must avenge Shi Yin Zun, his father Ling Feng, and all those killed by Dragon Soul—he expected the four great experts to arrive tomorrow.

“That damned Dragon Soul, he killed the Island Master and framed it on the people of the Demon Domain, thinking that by doing so, he would escape notice,” Ling Li’s assistant, Ma Jun, said.

These were all former subordinates of Ling Feng’s father, and it had taken Ling Li several months to gather them.

Their purpose was simple: to kill Dragon Soul and avenge the dead.

He had considered making Dragon Soul’s deeds public, but Dragon Soul now controlled the Dragon Slaying Clan, and no one would believe him—it would only invite death. Therefore, he thought it best to kill Dragon Soul secretly, but he had to find the right opportunity and thus followed into the Central Plains.

Ling Li asked, “Are you sure that Shi Xueqin is with Dragon Soul?”

Knowing Ling Li’s feelings towards Shi Xueqin, one subordinate said, “I’m certain. She appears to have believed Dragon Soul, thinking that it was the Demon Domain who killed her father.”

“I will expose him sooner or later,” Ling Li said, hitting the table fiercely.

“With the four great experts coming, how should we kill Dragon Soul?” Ma Jun asked.

“Aren’t they planning to surround and attack Fang Ziren and the others tomorrow?”

“Yes, that’s right. They don’t want Fang Ziren’s men to return to Heavenly City and plan to wipe them out here. But we don’t know the specifics of their arrangement. However, I think it’s very likely that Fang Ziren won’t be a match for Dragon Soul and his men, who are much more numerous.”

Of course, Ling Li knew this as well.

Zhan Ze thought for a moment and immediately realized something. When he first arrived on Dragon Slayer Island, the Island Master was Shi Yin Zun, but Shi Yin Zun was dead. He had always been curious about how Shi Yin Zun died, and many people even said it was he who killed Shi Yin Zun, but he knew the truth better than anyone else.

Suddenly, it all became clear. Dragon Soul killed Shi Yin Zun to take over as Island Master, then shifted the blame onto him. Everything quickly became much clearer.

Ling Li was aware of Dragon Soul’s prowess and dared not be careless. For the past half year, in addition to evading capture, he had been gathering troops and had found the four great experts from Slaughter Island. He’d spent a great deal of money to bring in the four experts for one purpose—to assassinate Dragon Soul and avenge the dead.

“We’ve waited a long time, and with the four great experts coming this time, we will surely be able to kill Dragon Soul,” an assistant stated.

“But with a group always surrounding Dragon Soul, it won’t be easy to kill him,” said one subordinate.

“It would be good if we could make him alone,” Ma Jun said.

“With the people of the Dragon Slaying Clan beside him, making him alone will be very difficult,” responded another.

Ling Li felt that he should think things through—he had made all the preparations, even inviting the four great experts.

Listening to the conversation below, Zhan Ze kept pondering. It was very likely that if he joined forces with these people, killing Dragon Soul was possible. Although he didn’t know how formidable the four great experts were, as long as they were willing to cooperate with him, his chances of success would definitely increase. He had been pondering this issue for some time now, seeking helpers.

“Alright, let’s wait for the four great experts to arrive tomorrow. Then we’ll meet here and discuss how to kill Dragon Soul.”

The men dispersed quickly.

Ling Li said to Ma Jun, “Ma Jun, keep an eye on Longhun and the others to see how they plan to deal with Fang Ziren. If there’s any news, come back and tell me immediately.”

Ma Jun nodded and quickly left.

Su Zhanze was considering that to get Longhun alone, there was indeed a way: that girl. Over the past couple of days, he had noticed that Longhun seemed to have a weakness; Longhun was extremely concerned about that girl.

What would happen if they captured that girl?

If he could get the help of this group of people, the success rate would surely be higher.

This plan was absolutely feasible.

Watching that group of fellows leave, he couldn’t find help from the people of the Immortal-Demon World, but he could seek the assistance of these people who, like him, wished to kill Longhun.

A plan suddenly formed in his mind.

Longhun had drunk quite a lot of alcohol, about eighty percent drunk, yet he stumbled into Shi Xueqin’s room. This was the first time Shi Xueqin had seen him drunk; she had never seen him drink like this before, which scared her, not knowing what had happened. The usually composed Longhun never drank so much.

And he had run into her room, something he had never done before. Although she liked Longhun very much, the two had never had intimate physical contact.

“Brother Longhun, have you gone mad? Why did you drink so much?” Shi Xueqin leaped out of the bed.

A groggy Longhun asked, “Do you know what day it is today?” He was still holding a jug of wine, which surely still had wine in it.

Shi Xueqin, taken aback, quickly straightened her clothes and came over to support him.

Longhun said, “Today is my birthday.”

“Birthday.” Shi Xueqin truly had never asked him when his birthday was.

“Birthday, why didn’t you tell me?”

“But I don’t like this day. It is a day that is very hard to forget.”

Shi Xueqin glanced outside; it was very quiet. The disciples of the Dragon Slaying Clan were guarding the door, and everything was silent.

“Why?”

“Because this day is also her death anniversary.”

“Whose death anniversary?”

“Aren’t you always wanting to know about that girl and my past?”

Shi Xueqin, surprised, said, “Stop drinking.”

“It’s okay. Although I don’t like this day, today I’m actually happy. It’s the day of my rebirth. Without her, there would be no betrayal, no ridicule. Without that day, there would be no me today. Look how well, how happily I live now,” Longhun said, swaying in the chair.

“You really have had too much to drink.”

“Truly, I haven’t,” Longhun replied, taking a few more sips.

“Hey, you don’t usually drink much. Why are you drinking so much today?”

“That day, I was happy to meet her, but she brought someone else to meet me. That’s when I understood that being honest only leads to being bullied. So I decided to become someone others would fear. Then, there would be no more ridicule, no more betrayal. This world is so absurd; everyone fears those who are cruel.”

“Right, can you put down the jug and let’s talk?”

“I don’t know why, but being with you really feels different than with other people.”

“What’s different?”

“You’re pure. When we’re together, I don’t have to think about so much, and I become purer as well.”

“Do you like it?” Shi Xueqin, using all her strength, snatched the wine jug from his hands.

“But I feel guilty towards you. I don’t know how to face you; it’s distressing,” he said.

“Why?”

“Because of your father…” Before he could finish, he fell, crashing heavily against the table.

Shi Xueqin was terrified and shouted, “You should stop talking and get into bed. You won’t feel as uncomfortable that way.”

She supported Longhun, who was too inebriated to distinguish north from south, east from west, toward the bed. After that fall, he probably couldn’t understand what he was saying anymore.

As Shi Xueqin was preparing to leave after making sure he was comfortable, Longhun grabbed her hand and said, “Don’t go, don’t leave me. Actually, I really like you a lot,” and he pulled Shi Xueqin towards him in a tight grip.

Shi Xueqin was completely caught off guard, Longhun had mistaken her for someone else, but she didn’t resist, and what followed was like a tempest.
