Chapter 685: Chapter 685_1

He Lian Xuan asked, "Did you kill Deng Taihui?"

"Yes," Su Chengyu admitted.

"No wonder Xiang Yuesheng has made such a fuss and have even gone as far as to chase you to the Dragon Soul headquarters. By the way, what on earth is the reason for your grudge with the Black Dragon Commerce Association? I asked Qin Siyuan before, and according to him, you had just a minor disagreement with the Black Dragon Commerce Association. How could it escalate to this point?"

Su Chengyu anticipated He Lian Xuan would ask about this, and he had already prepared his explanation.

"That matter was indeed trivial. My grudge with the Black Dragon Commerce Association goes back a long time. Before I became famous, I had several brushes with death at their hands, but that isn’t really significant. What truly enrages me is that a faithful friend of mine died in their hands because he tried to save me. Since then, I have sworn to eradicate the Black Dragon Commerce Association completely."

"Moreover, the Black Dragon Commerce Association has been domineering in the Longjiang Four Provinces for many years. Their unrestrained and overbearing actions have especially angered the common people, who view the association as the greatest evil power, bullying and doing evil, causing public resentment. If the Dragon Soul can’t manage it, then I will."

He Lian Xuan nodded approvingly upon hearing this, "You have justice in your heart, and that’s good. There aren’t many young people like you with such ambition these days, which is outstanding. But the Black Dragon Commerce Association didn’t become as big as it is now by chance, the power behind them is not simple. There are other complex relationships behind the Black Dragon Commerce Association. Even I can’t directly touch the Black Dragon Commerce Association, but I will provide you with as much support as I can. If you can eradicate them completely, it would be a great deed for the people."

"Thank you, Grand Minister," said Su Chengyu.

"But you still have to be careful. As far as I know, the Black Dragon Commerce Association has a deep relationship with the Illusion Sand Sect, one of the eight major sects in the martial arts world, and the powerful Han family of Haizhou. Without the support of these complicated relationships, the Black Dragon Commerce Association would not have become as big as it is now. It won’t be easy to remove them, you are now their number one enemy, Xiang Yuesheng will do anything to go after you."

He Lian Xuan revealed some hidden facts about the Black Dragon Commerce Association that Su Chengyu wasn’t aware of.

"The Han family... I didn’t know that the Black Dragon Commerce Association had relationships with the Han family and the Illusion Sand Sect. This is the first time I’ve heard of that," said Su Chengyu, somewhat surprised.

The Han family was a top family in Haizhou. He had a minor intersection with them before. Han Cheng Yun, a member of the family, was killed by him, and the first time Lin Chuxue died was at the hands of Second-Rank Grandmaster Han Qian Jun of the Han family.

After Han Qian Jun was killed, Su Chengyu had expected the Han family to send another expert, but nothing happened afterwards. Later investigations revealed that Han Cheng Yun, who claimed to be a member of the Han family, was actually not a direct descendant, but simply a branch member, and was merely borrowing the fame of the powerful Han family.

The real Han family was extremely powerful, strong to the extent that not even He Lian Xuan could easily provoke it.

As for the Illusion Sand Sect, as one of the eight major sects in the martial world, their strength was self-evident. Having been passed down for hundreds of years, they had profound roots and were not to be underestimated.

"Xiang Yuesheng’s mother hails from a branch of the Han family, and his father was once a disciple of the Illusion Sand Sect. After his father died due to martial intrigue, he became an orphan and was saved by the then leader of the Black Dragon Clan. Xiang Yuesheng has an extraordinarily high talent and harbors the unique arts of the Illusion Sand Sect. He quickly became a master within the Black Dragon Clan and later took over as the leader. He demonstrated outstanding ability and aptitude, transforming the Black Dragon Clan into the Black Dragon Commerce Association, thereby whitewashing its black past."

"Indeed, the Black Dragon Commerce Association used to do a lot of real work and had promoted economic development in the Longjiang Four Provinces. The association had considerable power, and officials from the Longjiang Four Provinces endeavored to draw it in for commercial investments. However, over the past ten years, the Black Dragon Commerce Association began to trend back towards illegal activities, bullying and doing evil."

After listening to He Lian Xuan’s explanation, Su Chengyu had a deeper understanding of Xiang Yuesheng and the Black Dragon Commerce Association, realizing that completely annihilating the Black Dragon Commerce Association indeed wouldn’t be easy.

Neither the Illusion Sand Sect nor the Han family were entities that Su Chengyu could currently contend with. To compete against these two powerful forces, he would at least need to reach the Golden Core Realm, or even the Nascent Soul Realm. Otherwise, he would be like an ant in front of these two forces, liable to be crushed at any time.

"I appreciate the Grand Minister’s advice. I understand this is a difficult matter. But in this world, there are certain things that must be done by someone, and I know what the persistence and beliefs in my heart are. No matter the difficulties and obstacles, I am not afraid." Su Chengyu paid his respects.

He Lian Xuan nodded and expressed further praise for Su Chengyu, "You go prepare well for the Dragon Soul competition. With your help, Jiangdong Dragon Soul has a strong chance of securing third place. As for you, even if you are not a match for Lee Longqing and can’t win the championship, attaining the runner-up position should be no problem."

Su Chengyu left He Lian Xuan’s courtyard and went directly back to the courtyard of Dragon Soul in Jiangdong.

The following day, the Dragon Soul competition officially began.

The first day was the group competition, with three groups competing simultaneously in the three martial arts fields of the Dragon Soul headquarters. Qin Siyuan led the people of Dragon Soul in Jiangdong into Arena No.2, while Shen Zhuoyan, the Grand Airspace Officer of Jiangbei, and Chi Guanqing also led their team in through another entrance.

"Brother Shen, it’s been three years since we last met, I trust you’ve been well. I didn’t expect our two families to end up in the same group. You must go easy on us," said Qin Siyuan, paying his respects.

"Qin Siyuan, don’t be hypocritical with me. Without Su Cheng’s help, if it weren’t for the fact that my son died at your place in Dragon Soul of Jiangdong, you would have been defeated!"

Qin Siyun’s polite courtesy was not reciprocated and Shen Zhuoyan didn’t show any grace, sneering coldly with a gloomy face.

"I already explained the death of your son over the phone. Brother Chi was there at the time and saw it with his own eyes. You can’t blame me. We are colleagues, so let’s not quarrel." Qin Siyuan said with a faint smile.

"Enough, there’s no friendship between us. Don’t celebrate too soon, even if Dragon Soul of Jiangbei is destined to lose today, I won’t make it easy for you to win."

After uttering his harsh words, Shen Zhuoyan glared at Su Chengyu hatefully before storming off, taking his team to sit separately. Qin Siyuan’s disciple, Qiu Ji, said, "Jiangbei knows they are going to lose, but it looks like they are determined to bite us hard. We must be careful."

"It’s to be expected. I have a plan for this, don’t worry. Just do your best," said Qin Siyuan.

After both teams arrived and sat down, the referee sent by Dragon Soul in the east went on stage to read out the rules of the Dragon Soul competition, and the match officially started with both sides sending out their representatives.

This kind of competition called for strategic personnel arrangement. Qin Siyuan had prepared several strategies at the meeting yesterday and was well-prepared. He and Zhuoyan gave the identity number plates of the competitors to the referee. Neither knew who the first person from the other team would be, they could only make educated guesses.
