Chapter 713: Chapter 713 Feng Yang, The Little Xi Shi _1

The fall of the Great Space Master Yin Huan from the Dragon Soul Agency in Jiangnan, with his head torn from his body, terrified the others in the agency.

"Hiss..."

The other Great Space Masters also sucked in a breath of cold air, reevaluating Su Chengyu in their hearts. This was particularly true for Liang Youdao and Guo Yijian, who had been keen on eliminating Su Chengyu, and were now even more shocked.

Upon seeing the Five-Colored Divine Light, Guo Yijian recognized it.

After all, Guo Yijian had seen Su Chengyu using the Heaven-Mending Stone at the Zhuo family’s place. But the Heaven-Mending Stone Su Chengyu used then was not as powerful as it seemed now. Guo Yijian had only guessed it was one of Su Chengyu’s magic artifacts and had not paid much attention to it.

"This thing seems much more powerful than when we were at the Zhuo family’s. I’m not sure what kind of magical artifact it is that can emit this five-colored light," Guo Yijian said.

Liang Youdao said, "Su Cheng’s power is also stronger than when we were at the Zhuo family. Magical artifacts complement their owners. The higher the owner’s realm, the stronger they can be. But this thing can emit a five-colored light and can easily severely injure Yin Huan. I fear its rank is not low, it may at least be a top-grade Spiritual Artifact, or it might even be a Divine Artifact."

"A Divine Artifact? Impossible! Divine Artifacts are priceless treasures. Among all the eastern parts, there are only three Divine Artifacts. It is said that even in the hands of a martial artist, once stimulated, it can unleash formidable power."

Guo Yijian was shocked. Divine Artifacts are extremely rare and highly precious, especially for martial artists. Magic and Spiritual Artifacts are beyond a martial artist’s control — they can only use them as handy weapons and cannot realize their true power.

But Divine Artifacts don’t have such limitations; even in the hands of a martial artist, they can be activated, although their power is still inferior to that of a cultivator.

"It’s just a guess. However, Yin Huan’s death was not meaningless. I didn’t expect him to possess the Illusory Poison Needle and succeed in his sneak attack. Su Cheng was hit by the Illusory Poison Needle. Even with a powerful magical artifact, he won’t be able to unleash its power, which is beneficial for us."

An insidious smile spread across Liang Youdao’s face.

As Yin Huan fell, the glow on the Life and Death Duel Contract disappeared. The contract floated down into Su Chengyu’s hands.

On the Life and Death Duel Contract, a symbol representing death crossed over the part where Yin Huan’s signature was branded. At the part of Su Chengyu’s signature, a golden mark that looked like a feather was born.

Su Chengyu put the Life and Death Duel Contract into the Cui Xia Ring. The duel was over. Everyone in Jiangdong hurried over to him, finally putting their hanging hearts to rest.

"I knew he wasn’t reckless. He must have been prepared when he decided to duel with Yin Huan." Qin Siyuan also revealed a relieved smile on his face.

At a distance in the pavilion, Xue Yuqin turned to leave, while Great Minister Helian Xuan received a report from his trusty assistant right away.

"Reporting to the Great Minister, the duel has ended. Yin Huan lost. His head was severed from his body by Su Cheng," the assistant reported.

Helian Xuan, who was leisurely sipping his tea, put down his cup. Whether Su Chengyu or Yin Huan won or lost, he found it normal and not in the least surprising.

"Understood. You may leave now," Helian Xuan waved his hand dismissively.

"Although Su Cheng has won, he was sneak attacked by Yin Huan in the end and was hit by the Illusory Poison Needle, so he is probably not well off either."

After the assistant had finished his report, he left the room. Helian Xuan took out his phone and took a call.

"Brother Helian, I heard that Longqing lost at the Dragon Soul match. He lost both the final match and the South Sea Mermaid Pearl."

The person who called was Lee Longqing’s father and the current head of the Lee family, Li Ronghui.

"That is true," Helian Xuan replied.

"Brother Helian, we had an agreement beforehand. We made no small sacrifice for the South Sea Mermaid Pearl. Now all our efforts are in vain, and our hard work has gone to benefit others. This is probably something you need to explain to me."

In the whole eastern region, the number of people who dared to talk to Helian Xuan with such an attitude could be counted on one hand.

Li Ronghui was not as powerful as Helian Xuan, but he was confident due to the Lee family being the first clan in the east with a Martial Saint. This was the source of his confidence.

Furthermore, with his son’s loss and the loss of the most important South Sea Mermaid Pearl, Li Ronghui was extremely angry and naturally did not mince his words when speaking with Helian Xuan.

"Fine! I will give you an explanation. The defeat of Li Longqing was unexpected, even by you, wasn’t it? Your son’s loss to a newcomer under everyone’s scrutiny, what could I do about it?"

"Besides, I had personally spoken to Su Cheng afterwards, using both soft and hard approaches. But he simply refused to concede the South Sea Mermaid Pearl. Can I, of all people, be blamed for this?"

Helian Xuan’s cold voice echoed dissatisfaction with Li Ronghui’s attitude.

"As for the trade with the Lee family, since it wasn’t completed, it will be considered void. Whatever needs to be returned will be returned once I return to the Department."

"Brother Helian, it can’t be as simple as that, can it? Other things can be discussed, but what about the debt for my woman? Don’t forget, you’ve had her. How do you plan on returning her in one piece?"

Li Ronghui’s comment caused Helian Xuan’s face to darken. This was what Helian Xuan found most awkward — he could return the rest of the trade conditions, but a woman’s debt of honor was hard to settle.

There was a woman by Li Ronghui’s side. A woman of immense beauty with such a scandalous reputation in Feng Yang that she was dubbed "the Little Xi Shi of Feng Yang".

Her notoriety wasn’t just due to her stunning beauty, but also because of her status.

She was originally the wife of Li Ronghui’s nephew. Not long after they got married, Li Ronghui set his sights on her. He then used his power as the family head, along with other means, to forcibly take his nephew’s wife for himself.

It was her scandal with Li Ronghui that made her well-known in Feng Yang.

When the Lee family negotiated a trade with Helian Xuan, he initially refused. Only later did he suggest that the woman be included as part of the trade agreement.

Once Li Ronghui agreed, the deal was struck. Otherwise, Helian Xuan would not have agreed.

Li Ronghui was loath to part with this woman. There was a reason behind his agreeing to these conditions.

Even for a man of Li Ronghui’s status, he needed to attribute some special skills to the woman. After all, there was no lack of beauties among the class he mingled with. Even if they could win a man’s favor for a while, it was rare for them to keep it for long.

Li Ronghui’s continued doting on her meant she had an extraordinary talent. In order to get her, Li Ronghui had to take on a somewhat scandalous reputation and wrest her from his nephew’s grasp. How could he be willing to give her to someone else so easily?

When Li Ronghui ultimately agreed to the terms, it was more of a forced choice.
