Chapter 19
Su Qingyi realized that Xiao Chen had left a bit late. Mount Dadong was only ten li away from Blood Sun City, and Xiao Chen was fast enough to kill on Mount Dadong in the blink of an eye. Thus, when the two elders led the team to Mount Dadong, Xiao Chen had already left the mountain.
It was a rainy night, and the visibility was even lower. Even though the martial artists in the White Tiger territory all had pretty good night vision, the elders still didn’t manage to see Xiao Chen, who was running towards the south of the city. Unfortunately, they missed him.
The Su Clan’s actions caused the entire city to be in an uproar. At such a critical moment, all the clans in the city were like taut strings. Any movement from the Su Clan, the Yue Clan, and the Xie Clan would attract the attention of the entire city.
Yue Fusheng’s little actions didn’t escape the eyes of many clans. The Su Clan’s rage and quick counterattack were also unexpected. However, under the leadership of the yellow dog, Xiao Chen successfully hid from the eyes and ears of some scouts.
Logically speaking, an unimportant burial ground had been dug up and an old woman had ascended Mount Dadong. The Su Clan shouldn’t be so impulsive, right?
Was this the rhythm of an early war, or did the Su Clan really have something to rely on?
…
“Pu! Pu!”
In the Su Clan’s backyard, an eagle landed. Su Jianfei took off the letter tied to the eagle and scanned it with astonishment. He quickly walked into the secret room and looked at Su Diguo, Su Qingyi, and an elder. “Xiao Chen has ascended Mount Dadong. The scouts found out that his yellow dog has a terrifying speed and can cross the river at the foot of Mount Dadong with one step.”
“En?”
Su Diguo’s eyes flashed. Su Qingyi and the elder looked at each other in astonishment.
Su Diguo frowned and turned to ask the elder, “Are there any high-rank dire beasts among the dog species?”
“No!”
The elder shook his head suspiciously and thought for a moment. “According to the historical records, the only high-rank dire beast among the dog species is the seventh-grade Cerberus of Hell. Xiao Chen’s one shouldn’t be one.
Furthermore, if this dog is a high-rank dire beast, it shouldn’t be able to conceal the powerful aura in its bones, right? ”
“The sky outside is so dark!
Did the scout make a mistake? ”
Su Diguo waved his hand suspiciously and yelled out to Su Jianfei, “Get all the scouts in the vicinity to investigate with all their might. Also, the scouts that are hiding in the vicinity of the Yue Clan are to be on high alert. If there is any sign of movement in the Yue Clan, immediately report to me.”
As Su Jianfei descended, Su Diguo’s expression turned even heavier as he cursed, “This fool is actually so arrogant?
Did he really think he was invincible?
Hmph! ”
Su Qingyi also shook her head. Clearly, she didn’t approve of Xiao Chen’s recklessness. She had always been an intelligent person, and she had been influenced by Su Diguo. She liked to strategize and control the situation. She wouldn’t make a move unless she was certain of victory.
The Dragon Heart Grass was about to be in his hands, and Su Diguo’s various arrangements were already in motion. As long as he could drag on for another month, everything would turn for the better.
The death of Grandma Liu wasn’t a big deal to the Su Clan, but Xiao Chen’s reckless actions had placed the Su Clan in a passive position. Once Xiao Chen died, all of Su Diguo’s arrangements and the Su Clan’s efforts would be for naught.
…
Time elapsed bit by bit, and the rain outside was getting lighter. The dark clouds were gradually dispersing, revealing a trace of hazy light.
The trio’s heart was getting tighter, and the atmosphere in the secret room was getting more oppressive.
“Report!”
Su Jianfei yelled out, which caused the trio’s heart to tremble. Three pairs of eyes locked onto Su Jianfei at the same time, but they heard an extremely strange piece of news. “A black-robed individual was discovered in the south of the city. He seems to be injured and is currently sneaking towards the Yue Clan. The scout said that this person … is similar to the Yue Clan’s Battle Hall’s Yue Ying.”
“Scout again!”
This piece of news was rather baffling. Even with Su Diguo and Su Qingyi’s intelligence, they couldn’t make a judgment. Su Diguo waved his hand and stood up, pacing back and forth in the secret room.
“Report!”
Not long after, Su Jianfei rushed in again with a shocked expression. He yelled out, “Xiao Chen was discovered in the south of the city. He was carrying Grandma Liu and was rushing straight towards the Yue Clan!”
“What?”
Su Diguo, Su Qingyi, and that elder yelled out involuntarily at the same time. All three pairs of eyes were filled with disbelief. Xiao Chen actually managed to rescue Grandma Liu?
In such a short period of time?
Furthermore, he was even rushing towards the Yue Clan?
“Are you sure about the information?”
Su Diguo’s aura presence burst out violently as he stared at Su Jianfei and roared.
Su Jianfei nodded heavily and quickly said, “Absolutely true. Little Six was afraid that we wouldn’t believe the message and personally came back. I reckon that Xiao Chen is about to reach the Yue Clan!”
“Arrogant! Fool! Idiot!”
Su Diguo’s expression changed drastically as he cursed. Su Qingyi and that elder suddenly stood up. Their eyes flickered, and their minds were spinning as they thought of a way to break out of this situation.
Xiao Chen mustn’t die!
The trio was certain of this point, but if they were to head over to the Yue Clan now, they would be directly clashing with the Yue Clan. No one knew what the final outcome would be.
The Su Clan might have been prepared, and nearly all the experts of the Su Clan were gathered in the courtyard. But didn’t the Yue Clan prepare for war?
At this moment, the Xue Clan might be hesitating, but there was a higher possibility of them leaning towards the Yue Clan. After all, Yue Mei ‘er had awakened the God’s Gift, and this was something that even half of the Su Clan’s assets couldn’t be exchanged for.
Xiao Chen had completely disrupted Su Diguo’s arrangements, causing the situation to turn chaotic. It also caused the Su Clan to be on the brink of destruction. Su Diguo’s rage and panic had proven this point.
“What should we do with Father?”
Su Qingyi pretended to be calm, but her trembling body betrayed her innermost feelings.
The elder and Su Jianfei looked at Su Diguo with a grave expression, waiting for his decision.
“What else can we do?
Immediately head to the Yue Clan and act according to the situation. If it really doesn’t work, we can only risk our lives! ”
Su Diguo gritted his teeth and yelled out. His aura presence burst out as he strode out and roared, “All White Tiger Realm martial artists, gather and head to the Yue Clan immediately.”
“Let’s go!”
Since Su Diguo had already made up his mind, Elder Su Jianfei and Su Qingyi relaxed. With the Power of Desolation revolving around their bodies, they strode out.
The two elders had brought their men to Mt. Dadong, and it would take at least thirty minutes for them to return. They had no choice but to ignore the rear of the Su Clan and gather all their forces to head to the Yue Clan.
The experts of the Su Clan were already assembled. With Su Diguo’s order, the doors of the Su Clan were opened. Dozens of experts with sabers and armors rushed out.
“Qingyi, you are going?”
Su Diguo was personally leading the team. When he saw Su Qingyi following behind, he frowned slightly.
A beautiful green longsword appeared in Su Qingyi’s hand. She sneered and said, “Father should know of Qingyi’s strength. If we are defeated tonight, do you think your daughter can still live?”
“Let’s go!”
Su Diguo didn’t say anything else and took the lead to rush out. Behind him, fifty to sixty people followed in an orderly fashion with surging killing intent.
The storm had completely stopped, and the dark clouds in the sky had dispersed. The moon had actually appeared, scattering a silver radiance that made the Blood Sun City look especially enchanting after the rain.
