Chapter 457: Chapter 457: In Trouble_1
Yu Yanshu quickly shook her head in explanation: "No, that’s not it! Master, don’t misunderstand! I’m worried about you. If that person talks, you’ll be pursued by a lot of people."
Su Chengyu reached out to touch Yu Yanshu’s head, saying, "Master knows your intentions, but I’m not afraid at all. My identity as Su Cheng was a disguise from the start. If worst comes to worst, we can leave Jianghuai and never use this identity again - who would know it was me? If I, as a master, really were to hand you over for my own sake, wouldn’t I be scum?"
"Besides, as Cultivators, we defy the heavens by pursuing cultivation. The Heavenly Dao can be defied as well, so what is there to fear in life or death? You don’t need to worry!"
Although Su Chengyu and Yu Yanshu bore the title of master and disciple, in Su Chengyu’s heart, Yu Yanshu was more like a sister. The guilt and care he felt towards Su Xiaoxiao were all transferred onto Yu Yanshu.
Yu Yanshu reached up to wipe her tears, sobbing, "Master, it’s the greatest fortune of my life to have met you."
"Without you, I wouldn’t have been able to get into Liyuan Cave Heaven first and obtain the treasures left by the ancestors of Liyuan! This is our mutual fate and fortune. Let’s go, get in the car and wait for Mr. Qiao to come out before we leave Anyang Town."
Su Chengyu patted Yu Yanshu’s shoulder and drove away.
In the Liyuan Cave Heaven, Cao Taiming, led by his subordinates, visited the bodies of the three Hall Masters and inspected the scene of the fight.
"They were all killed by the same person, a person with profound swordsmanship, at least of Ninth Grade strength. Who the hell is it, daring to provoke the Black Dragon Commerce Association!"
Cao Taiming was filled with rage yet also at a loss. He had thought that he would definitely gain something from this treasure hunt on the Nine Peaks Mountain. Who would have thought that it would end with not just no gain, but additional losses.
The four Hall Masters were the backbone of the Black Dragon Commerce Association in Jianghuai. With all of them dead, the strength of the Black Dragon Commerce Association would be greatly reduced. After all, it was hard to cultivate a Great Grandmaster, let alone three that were of the top three grades.
"Let’s go, get out of Liyuan Cave Heaven, surround the entrance. All who leave Liyuan Cave Heaven must be strictly checked. We must catch the murderer!"
Cao Taiming was truly furious. If this matter was not handled well, the Black Dragon Commerce Association would lose their reputation, and he would not look good in front of Xiang Yuesheng either.
"By the way, did Su Cheng show up? Was he killed?" Cao Taiming suddenly asked.
"We two definitely couldn’t match him, and we didn’t run into him either."
"That works out just fine, go outside and block the way. Take care of him as well!"
Once Cao Taiming spoke, he burst forward, shooting out like a cannonball. His two subordinates couldn’t keep up and were quickly left behind.
On the other hand, Wang Congyun and Lu Jianxing, unwilling to give up, searched in the Liyuan Cave Heaven for some time. Having found nothing, they returned to the medicinal field.
"Did you dig up any treasures?" Wang Congyun asked.
The Dragon Soul Si Master shook his head, "Nothing!"
The whole medicinal field had been dug up three feet deep by the people of Dragon Soul Si, and it was a complete mess. Yet, they found nothing!
"Damn it! How annoying!"
Wang Congyun flew into a rage and stamped his foot on the ground. Suddenly, everyone felt as if the earth was shaking and kept silent in fear.
"Who is it? Who took all the treasures and dared to snatch food from the tiger’s mouth?! Come out!"
Wang Congyun’s loud roar hurt everyone’s ears, and they hurriedly covered them.
Soon enough, Wang Congyun leapt up and smashed several pits into the depleted medicinal field, making it look as if it had been bombed.
"Let’s go! Go to the entrance. Don’t let anyone leaving the Liyuan Cave Heaven escape. Check them all for concealed items. I want to see who dares to snatch treasures from me!"
Wang Congyun, as the Grand Marshal of Jianghuai’s Dragon Soul Si, held a high position and great power. There was no one who could resist his determination to conduct the search.
Wang Congyun and Cao Taiming reached the entrance of Liyuan Cave Heaven almost at the same time. They looked at each other, both seeing gloom on the other’s face.
Cao Taiming had no interest in mocking Wang Congyun for accomplishing nothing, but instead discussed with him.
"The Grand Airspace Officer wants to search for the one who made off with the treasures; I want to find the murderer of my three Hall Masters. We might as well join forces; then, no one can force their way out." Cao Taiming suggested.
"Good!" Wang Congyun agreed.
Cao Taiming and Wang Congyun, one the strongest official in Jianghuai and the other the leader of the underground world, usually opposed each other. Now, however, they had temporarily joined forces.
Together, they left Liyuan Cave Heaven and guarded just outside the mountain stream. The Dragon Soul Si Master and Black Dragon Commerce Association experts also arrived one after the other to guard this place, and to strictly check each person leaving!
At this time, Yang Junmo was still perched on a branch outside the mountain stream, gently fanning his folding fan, watching the two major powers join forces to scrutinize these people. A smirk of scoffing was at the corner of his mouth. What a bunch of fools, he thought!
Su Chengyu was waiting in the car outside Anyang Town for Qiao Jingwu, who had also entered the Liyuan Cave Heaven.
The two of them waited until the sun was about to set, and Qiao Jingwu finally came to the agreed meeting spot in his car.
"Mr. Su, it’s good to see you come out. I was really worried about you on my way here!"
Qiao Jingwu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Su Chengyu.
"What happened?" Su Chengyu asked.
"Wang Congyun and Cao Taiming joined forces to seal off the mountain stream outside Liyuan Cave Heaven. Everyone who came out from inside was thoroughly searched. Even I was not exempt and was searched. I was worried that you couldn’t get out." Qiao Jingwu said.
"It seems like all their efforts have been in vain, and they’ve even been driven to the point of desperation by anyone. It’s ridiculous that Dragon Soul Si has actually joined forces with the Black Dragon Commerce Association!"
Su Chengyu sneered indifferently.
"Wang Congyun is indeed desperate because he’s been hovering around for nothing, while Cao Taiming is angry because all of the remaining three Hall Masters of the Black Dragon Commerce Association were killed in Liyuan Cave Heaven. Cao Taiming must find out who the killer is; otherwise, he would have to face Xiang Yuesheng. It’s not easy to explain." Qiao Jingwu said.
"I wonder who’s so bold as to kill all three Hall Masters, including Lv Shikai, who was a Ninth-grade Grandmaster! The Black Dragon Commerce Association took a huge loss this time around. How could Cao Taiming not be anxious? In addition to Yuan Dingkang, who was killed by you, the Black Dragon Commerce Association no longer has any high-grade Grandmasters to show off."
Qiao Jingwu sighed.
Su Chengyu laughed, "The severe losses suffered by the Black Dragon Commerce Association and its subsequent weakening are good news for the Qiao family, aren’t they?"
"Of course! I won’t hide it from you, but my family has been declining from generation to generation. My father was a Marquis of the Qiao family, and I, limited by my qualifications, have been stuck at the top of the Ninth Grade for many years. I’m on my last legs! Once I die, the Qiao family will surely be gradually devoured by the Black Dragon Commerce Association. This has always been my biggest worry."
"Luckily, I had the fortune to meet Mr. Su, which allowed me to extend my life. I still have a slight chance to enter the Martial Marquis Realm, and then I can protect the Qiao family for another ten to twenty years."
Qiao Jingwu didn’t hide anything from Su Chengyu and told him the truth.
"Well then, I’ll tell you a secret: the four Hall Masters of the Black Dragon Commerce Association were all killed by me." Su Chengyu said.
