Chapter 275: Chapter 275: Person from Jiangdong _1

In the Dragon Soul Department’s safe house, after consuming his fifth Heavenly Pill, Su Chengyu finally broke free from his constraints and officially stepped into the seventh level of Qi Refining realm. The Mana whirlpool in his Dantian had grown larger, and it was filled with surging power.

With the advancement of his realm, Su Chengyu’s Divine Sense had also become stronger.

When facing the Fourth Level Master Black Crow, Su Chengyu wouldn’t be as worn out as before.

"There’s one more Heavenly Pill. Let’s see if I can break through to the eighth level."

Su Chengyu clearly understood that even though he had broken through to the seventh level of the Qi Refining realm, his strength was still far from sufficient.

Without rest, he immediately swallowed the Heavenly Pill again, refining the medicinal power to strive towards the eighth level of the Qi Refining realm.

Inside the safe house, Su Chengyu was fully focused on refining the Elixir and breaking through to the eighth level. He couldn’t feel the passage of time and had no idea how long it had been since he arrived there.

On the morning of the third day of Su Chengyu’s retreat, two official vehicles of the Dragon Soul Department with Jiangyang city plates drove into the Lin Jiang Dragon Soul Department. A total of four people disembarked from the vehicles, all dressed in the Dragon Soul Department uniforms.

One of them had a dragon-shaped and a three-star embroidered shoulder badge, indicating that this person’s official rank was the same as Stone Sword Edge. The shoulder badge with one dragon and three stars represented the Grand Marshal of the city-level Dragon Soul Department and the Chief Minister of the provincial Dragon Soul Department.

The uniforms of the Dragon Soul department had official ranks embroidered as shoulder badges. The lesser chief minister had a one dragon, one star badge; the deputy marshal had a one-dragon two-star badge, and Stone Sword Edge had the shoulder badge for the rank of one dragon and three stars.

At the provincial Dragon Soul Department, apart from the highest-ranking position of the Grand Airspace Officer, there was also the Deputy Airspace Officer, the lesser chief minister, and the chief minister Sikou.

The chief minister Sikou of the provincial Dragon Soul Department held a rank equivalent to the Grand Marshal of the Lin Jiang Dragon Soul Department.

The man leading the pack got out of the car with a stern face and a hint of arrogance. The people from the Lin Jiang Dragon Soul Department rushed forward to receive them.

"We apologize for not greeting you sooner, Chief Minister." Said a lesser chief minister, respectfully.

"I have important business to attend to, stay out of my way, do not interfere!"

Sikou Qiyue gestured with his hand, leading his people directly to the safe house where Su Chengyu was located.

Stone Sword Edge, in his office, received a phone call. His expression changed instantly, and he hurriedly ran out of the office.

Qiyue and his people arrived outside the iron gate of the safe house. There were two officers from the Dragon Soul Department guarding the gate. Qiyue sternly said, "Open the gate."

"Without the order of the Grand Marshal, no one is allowed to enter." The two officers replied.

"Are you blind! This is Chief Minister Sikou from Jiangdong Dragon Soul Department; his rank is on par with Stone Sword Edge. His orders are equivalent to those of the Grand Airspace Officer. Open the door now!"

A middle-aged man standing next to Qiyue shouted coldly.

The two officers hesitated for a moment, but they firmly replied, "We’re sorry, we only follow the orders of the Grand Airspace Officer."

"Presumptuous! A petty Lin Jiang Dragon Soul officer dares to challenge my authority, arrest them!"

Qiyue was furious. As he swung his hand, the middle-aged man standing next to him lunged forward. This man was a lesser chief minister, with the strength of a Second Class Grandmaster. The two officers were merely Inner Strength Masters; they stood no chance and were immediately subdued and injured, coughing up blood.

"This is a lesson for infringing from a lower position! Live and learn about the rules of the Dragon Soul Department!"

Qiyue snorted coldly, stepping over the two men and heading towards the safe house.

By this time, Stone Sword Edge had already arrived with his men.

"Stop!"

Stone Sword Edge bellowed angrily, leaping into action, landing just outside the iron gate.

Qiyue squinted his eyes and said, "Brother Shi, you arrived quite quickly!"

"Brother Qi should have given advanced notice of his arrival. To come unannounced and hurt my men, isn’t that inappropriate?" Stone Sword Edge said coldly.

"I am here on orders to arrest someone. It’s not a big deal, so I didn’t bother notifying you. As for these two, they engaged in a serious infraction, so I had to teach them the rules of the Dragon Soul department on your behalf." Replied Qiyue.

"Who is Brother Qi here to arrest?" Stone Sword Edge asked, pretending to be ignorant.

"Su Chengyu!"

Stone Sword Edge frowned, "How did you come here to arrest Su Chengyu? This is our Department Secret Room, and it cannot be disrupted."

Qiyue chuckled lightly, "Brother Shi, there’s no need to be scrupulous, we understand each other very well. I know you’re hiding Su Chengyu here. If you let me take him, none of this will involve you, and there’s no need for you to get mixed up in this."

It was clear to Stone Sword Edge that someone in the department had leaked information, otherwise Qiyue wouldn’t know that Su Chengyu was in the safe house.

"I’m already involved." Said Stone Sword Edge.

"Then you should withdraw quickly; the consequences will be severe. We are on the same side. Some things can be directly addressed. I am here to arrest him by the orders of the lesser chief minister. He has offended the people of the Black Dragon Commerce Association. You can’t protect him, and there’s no need for you to bring trouble upon yourself."

Qiyue sounded polite, but his words were somewhat dismissive of Stone Sword Edge.

"What if I insist on protecting him?" Said Stone Sword Edge.

"Then you’re opposing the lesser chief minister and violating superior orders. You know very well what the consequences will be. Stand aside!" Qiyue replied coldly.

"Stop using the lesser chief minister to intimidate me. This is Lin Jiang Dragon Soul Department, and I am in charge, not you! If the lesser chief minister was here in person, I would be somewhat apprehensive, but you can’t command me! Please leave. I won’t let you take Su Chengyu away."

Stone Sword Edge was now fully committed. At this point, he had to take a firm stand.

Upon hearing this, Qiyue also became angry, squinting his eyes, "Stone Sword Edge, I’ve shown enough respect towards you. But it seems you prefer not to reciprocate. I’m here to arrest Su Chengyu, and if you obstruct, don’t blame me for being impolite."

Between the two of them tension was escalating, in an explosive manner.

Both of them were powerful Fifth Grade Masters, and just their contest of aura was enough to send chills down the spines of onlookers.

Stone Sword Edge knew that a conflict was inevitable. Given the formidable display by Qiyue, this was not something that could be resolved with mere words.

Engaging in combat with Qiyue, he didn’t have an absolute advantage. Although both were Fifth Grade Masters, Qiyue was likely to have learned many advanced Martial Arts in the provincial Dragon Soul Department, making him a formidable opponent.

Moreover, Qiyue brought a Second Class Grandmaster lesser chief minister with him. In the Dragon Soul Department, Deputy Marshal Guan Yong was dead, leaving only three Martial Arts Masters. Besides him being the Fifth Grade Master, the other two lesser chief masters were only first grade.

If it came to an actual fight, Stone Sword Edge would have no advantage, and indeed would be in a disadvantageous position, they simply couldn’t resist.

Stone Sword Edge clenched his fists, ready to fight to the end.

At this point, he had no way out. Su Chengyu was in retreat inside and couldn’t be disturbed. If Qiyue and others were to break in, it could turn Su Chengyu into a devil, and Stone Sword Edge would suffer as well.

Stone Sword Edge had placed his bet on Su Chengyu, so he had to do his best to protect him.
