Chapter 723: Chapter 723: Sudden Change_1

Su Chengyu returned to his room, being engulfed by the familiar feeling. He picked up Xu Nanzhi’s photo, gently wiping it off.

"Nanzhi..."

Although Xu Nanzhi had been taken away a long time ago, every time Su Chengyu stepped into the room, he could still sense Xu Nanzhi’s presence. This very presence fueled Su Chengyu’s longing for Xu Nanzhi and significantly motivated him to cultivate more diligently.

Regarding the solution to the Illusory Poison Needle, Su Chengyu had two plans. After returning home, he promptly issued a request to purchase Beiming Black Stone on the Nine Heavens Dark Web.

Even though his previous request on the Nine Heavens Dark Web for Bone Washing Grass and Phoenix Saliva Fruit didn’t eventuate, these two commodities were extremely rare. Comparatively, Beiming Black Stone wasn’t as precious and had a higher chance of being acquired on the Nine Heavens Dark Web.

The other plan was to seek advice from Qingxu Zi. Given Qingxu Zi’s expertise, even without the Beiming Black Stone, he should be capable of neutralising the Illusory Poison Needle.

But it was to no avail; Su Chengyu had tried to contact Qingxu Zi a few times, but got no response; he wondered where the bearded old man had gone.

There was also another method - he could further seek assistance from those who had obtained the fragments of Earth Core Lotus. These individuals might have access to Beiming Black Stone. However, because Yang Junmo knew about Su Chengyu being poisoned by the Illusory Poison Needle, he suspected that if he were to raise the question in the group, Yang Junmo, with his acuity, would surely deduce his identity.

Su Chengyu didn’t wish to expose his identity as a fragment holder too soon.

The phone rang, interrupting Su Chengyu’s train of thought as he carefully set down Xu Nanzhi’s photo. The call was from Qin Muge. Only a handful few knew about this newly changed number.

"Brother Su Cheng, I have bad news for you, Xu Jianglong is dead," announced Qin Muge.

"As Xu Jianglong has died, isn’t this supposed to be good news?" responded Su Chengyu with a laugh.

"But he was killed by you," said Qin Muge.

Su Chengyu was slightly astonished, but instantly understood what had happened. "Ah... so it turned out that I was the killer. I assume the Grand Minister must be furious, right?

"Correct! Xu Jianglong was about to be promoted as the Grand Airspace Officer of Jiangnan. All those who can sit in this position are confidants of the Grand Minister. Especially when the Grand Airspace Officer dies unnaturally, it’s a major case requiring thorough investigation. Enraged, the Grand Minister has already issued punishment orders against you."

Of course, Qin Muge knew that Su Chengyu couldn’t have or hadn’t killed Xu Jianglong. This was clearly a set-up. Hence, upon receiving the news, she then immediately informed Su Chengyu.

"Tell me, how is the Grand Minister planning to deal with me?" Su Chengyu said nonchalantly.

"He’s stripping you of all your responsibilities at the Dragon Soul Agency, revoking your Dragon Soul Assembly championship title, recuperating the Dragon Soul Medal and Championship rewards, and including your name in the Red Dragon Soul Arrest Warrant. After catching you, a legal court hearing will be held to determine your sentence."

A Red Dragon Soul Arrest Warrant indicates the highest level of manhunt, for major criminals. Anyone from the Dragon Soul Agency has the right to kill those resisting the manhunt without seeking further approval.

In just 24 hours, Su Chengyu had transformed from becoming the hottest rising star at the Eastern Dragon Soul Agency to a wanted criminal. This was an unprecedented scenario since the establishment of the Dragon Soul Agency.

After hearing everything, Su Chengyu didn’t comment much. With a disdainful smile, he knew that failing to hand over the South Sea Mermaid Pearl had displeased He Lian Xuan. He had never anticipated, however, that He Lian Xuan would resort such measures to deal with him.

Not that he cared. Su Chengyu had already contemplated no longer using his guise as Chengyu. He only needed to tread more carefully as He Lian Xuan was the only hunting for a fake persona of Su Chengyu.

Internally, Su Chengyu sighed at how ruthlessly cunning He Lian Xuan was!

"My dad personally called the Grand Minister to guarantee you but ended up being rebuked. I wonder why the Grand Minister, who values you, refuses to believe you? I can vouch for you; you absolutely didn’t kill Xu Jianglong. Why don’t my dad and I go see the Grand Minister directly and testify for you in person?"

The incident of Su Chengyu returning to Jiangyang with them wasn’t revealed to anyone else by Qin Muge. Hence, only she was aware that Su Chengyu wasn’t involved in the crime.

"Mu Ge, it’s pointless! He Lian Xuan isn’t stupid, his clear-cut treatment towards me reveals a murderous intent. Regarding the reason, it’s hard to explain thoroughly in a few words. Don’t worry about me, from now on you all should keep your distance so as not to be implicated." replied Su Chengyu.

"I’m not ungrateful. And I’m not afraid. However, Brother Su Cheng, a Red Arrest Warrant is serious. How will you manage in the future? With you being named in the Dragon Soul Agency, there is no longer a place for you in Xia Country. Why not leave the country immediately? As a Cultivator, I believe that you will make a name for yourself, no matter whether domestically or abroad," said Qin Muge earnestly.

"I’ll think about it. Mu Ge, take care of yourself. Remember, don’t mention anything about me in the future, and try not to contact me unless necessary."

After that, Su Chengyu hung up the call.

Leaving the country was not possible. Being born and raised in Xia Country, he could never leave, especially when he had significant responsibilities, and there was a plethora of tasks to finish.

Su Chengyu immediately called Stone Sword Edge, inviting him over. Knowing that he was Su Cheng, only a few people were aware, with Stone Sword Edge being one of them who had created a fake ID for him at that time.

Arriving at Su Mansion, Su Chengyu gestured for Stone Sword Edge to sit and asked, "I assume you are aware of the circumstances of the Dragon Soul Assembly, aren’t you?"

Stone Sword Edge nodded, "I haven’t had the opportunity to congratulate Mr. Su yet when I heard about the murder of Xu Jianglong. You weren’t cautious enough. For the sake of killing Xu Jianglong, it isn’t worth your losses."

Stone Sword Edge was aware of Su Chengyu’s feud with the Xu family, considering Xu Jianglong’s daughter Xu Qianxue had died at the hands of Su Chengyu, along with Xu Jianglong once attempting to kill Su Chengyu in Lin Jiang.

Therefore, after viewing the Dragon Soul Agency’s arrest warrant, Stone Sword Edge believed Xu Jianglong must have been killed by Su Chengyu.

As Su Chengyu won the Dragon Soul Assembly, Stone Sword Edge was incredibly excited. He chose to serve Su Chengyu at any cost, drawn by his potential as a cultivator. He believed Su Chengyu would soar high. Hence, he tightly clung onto him during his initial period, in fear of not being able to reach him later on.

Stone Sword Edge was convinced that Su Chengyu would be the benefactor who would change his life. As Su Chengyu won the Dragon Soul Assembly, Stone Sword Edge realised that the time for him to soar high was near.

Unexpectedly, within less than 24 hours, an arrest warrant and proclamation completely eradicated all of Su Chengyu’s honour, also cutting off his path to salience. As a result, Stone Sword Edge’s loyalty towards Su Chengyu had also begun to wobble a bit.
