Chapter 679: Chapter 679_1

Su Chengyu was quite used to such circumstances. He had become quite well-known throughout the six provinces of the east, and consequently, it was not unusual for him to be observed and discussed when he showed up in the dining hall.

While getting food, Su Chengyu encountered Pan Xiaofeng, whom he had met once before. This fellow was the chief minister of Danyang Dragon Soul Department and was also a contestant this time.

Upon seeing Su Chengyu, Pan Xiaofeng consciously lowered his head and avoided him, not daring to meet Su Chengyu’s gaze.

After getting his food, Su Chengyu sat together with Qin Muge to eat. Qin Muge had gone out with some others the previous night and while they ate, he told Su Chengyu about the fun they had had, regretting that Su Chengyu had not joined in.

After breakfast, Qin Siyuan took the draw which resulted in Feng Yang and Jianghuai being grouped together, Danyang and Jiangnan one group, and Jiangdong and Jiangbei one group. This was a good draw for Jiangdong since Jiangbei was currently the weakest, ensuring the Jiangdong Dragon Soul Department’s stable entry into the winner’s group.

Qin Siyuan was delighted. His biggest fear was drawing Feng Yang and Danyang too early; this was truly a godsend.

Of course, if it were not for the addition of Su Chengyu, even if they made it to the winner’s group in the first round, Jiangdong Dragon Soul Department would not secure third place. After Jiangnan was relegated to the losers’ group, there was still a chance of returning.

In the Dragon Soul Department office of Yin Huan, he was not happy with the draw and cursed at Qin Siyuan for his luck. At that moment, Xu Jianglong knocked and entered, saying, "Brother Yin, I just received news that Deng Taihui is dead."

"How can this be?" Yin Huan questioned instinctively.

"It’s true. His head was cut off and hung at the entrance to the Black Dragon Commerce Association’s headquarters. He was likely murdered last night."

Xu Jianglong took out his mobile phone and opened up the crime scene photos for Yin Huan to see. Yin Huan’s color changed and he said, "Sure enough, it’s Deng Taihui! Who’s the killer?"

"Who else could it be? It must be Su Cheng who did it. Apart from him, no one else has such a big grudge against the Black Dragon Commerce Association." Xu Jianglong said.

"Is that so? Deng Taihui was an eighth grade Marquis, and he must have had methods to ensure his survival. Unless a Martial King took action, it would likely be very difficult to kill him. Has Su Cheng already reached such a stage?"

Yin Huan’s face twitched. As the Grand Airspace Officer of Jiangnan Dragon Soul Department, his cultivation was only at the ninth grade Marquis realm. He was not fully confident that he could kill Deng Taihui. Yet Deng Taihui had been killed by a young rival, which made Yin Huan wary of Su Chengyu.

"Brother Yin, do not forget, he’s a cultivator! His own cultivation may not be enough to kill Deng Taihui but a cultivator has a magic artifact and spell assistance. It’s not uncommon for them to kill someone above their level," Xu Jianglong said.

Yin Huan looked worried and moved his hand through his goatee, saying, "This matter has nothing to do with us. The one angered is Xiang Yuesheng and the Black Dragon Commerce Association. We’ll just sit back and watch. I think Xiang Yuesheng is probably losing his patience. Otherwise, he’ll lose face."

"Do we need to report this to the Great Minister?" Xu Jianglong asked.

"No need," Yin Huan dismissed with a wave of his hand.

At this moment, Xu Jianglong’s phone rang. After answering the call, he said in surprise, "You said what? Xiang Yuesheng brought his men to the front of our department, demanding for Su Cheng to be handed over? Stop him for now, I’ll report this to the Grand Airspace Officer immediately."

Xu Jianglong covered his phone and said to Yin Huan, "Brother Yin, Xiang Yuesheng has arrived. It’s said that he’s in a rage. He came with ill intentions and his attitude is also quite aggressive. How should we deal with it?"

A surprised Yin Huan said, "So Xiang Yuesheng really is furious? He actually ran to our department to demand a person."

"His direct disciples were all murdered. Can he not be enraged? If he doesn’t take a standing now, I’m afraid it would shake the military morale," Xu Jianglong said.

"Let’s not meddle in this. Do not obstruct them. Let them in and directly guide them to the yard of the Jiangdong Dragon Soul Department. We can sit back and enjoy the show," Yin Huan sneered.

"Understood!"

Xu Jianglong nodded, then issued an immediate order to the junior airspace officer.

"Let’s go. There’s going to be a good show early in the morning. Let’s check it out. Let’s see if Xiang Yuesheng dares to commit murder here in our department. If Jiangdong loses Su Cheng, then they’re no longer a threat. Even if they enter the winner’s group in the first round, they’ll still be trampled by us in the next round."

Yin Huan stood up and walked out with Xu Jianglong.

In the courtyard of the Jiangdong Dragon Soul Department, after Qin Siyuan obtained the drawing results, he called a brief meeting to discuss. Although their match against Jiangbei was bound to be a victory, they still needed to understand the enemy’s situation and establish a strategy.

"We will undoubtedly face the Jiangnan Dragon Soul Department in the second round, so we cannot expose more people’s real abilities, to prevent being targeted.　I suggest that Su Cheng directly make a move, first defeat their four men, then we just need to win two more matches to proceed. We have to hide our abilities as much as possible and prevent Jiangnan from thoroughly investigating us."

Su Chengyu was uninterested in strategy planning, leaving it all to Qin Siyuan.

"This is a good idea. Everyone knows about Su Cheng’s strength. He can make a move without any concerns," said Qiu Ji, the top seed of Jiangdong and the apprentice of Qin Siyuan.

Just as Qiu Ji’s words were said, a loud voice suddenly echoed throughout the entire yard.

"Su Cheng, come out now!"

"Who’s out there shouting so loud?" Qiu Ji frowned.

Qin Siyuan stood up and walked toward the window, to which Su Chengyu said calmly, "No need to look. It’s Xiang Yuesheng who has come with his men."

"Xiang Yuesheng?! What does he want to do? Don’t tell me he dares to barge into the Dragon Soul Department’s headquarters to murder? This is outrageous. Why didn’t the Jiangnan Dragon Soul Department stop him?" Qin Muge said.

"Stop him? Yin Huan would be delighted to see us in trouble," Qin Siyuan huffed.

"Father, what should we do then? Xiang Yuesheng is a Half-Step Martial Saint. If he really disregards everything and makes a move, I am afraid that Brother Su Cheng will be in danger," Qin Muge said worriedly.

"Su Cheng, don’t go out. No matter what, this is after all the Dragon Soul Department. Even if Xiang Yuesheng is arrogant, he will have to show some restraint. I will call the Great Minister right away. The Great Minister mentioned you during last night’s banquet and regards you highly. He will not stand back and watch."

Even as he was speaking, Qin Siyuan pulled out his phone.

But at that time, Su Chengyu suddenly shouted: "Be careful!"

Su Chengyu’s words had just fallen when the glass window suddenly shattered, and an overwhelming force swept in. The broken glass instantly became sharp hidden weapons, rampaging within the meeting room.

Su Chengyu activated his spell to protect everyone in the meeting room and then with a wave of his hand, he swept the shattered glass out.

Everyone was frightened and their faces turned pale. They did not expect Xiang Yuesheng to dare make a move within the Dragon Soul Department.

"You all go and hide in the back of the yard. Xiang Yuesheng is targeting me, so I’ll just go and see him."

Su Chengyu summoned the Dragon Slayer Sword and as soon as he said his piece, he launched himself out of the meeting room.

"Brother Su Cheng!"

Qin Muge was very worried and without thinking, chased him out. Qin Siyuan hurriedly called the Great Minister Helian Xuan.

However, He Lian Xuan and Xue Yuqin had gone out for a walk around Jiangnan after the draw ended.
