Return of the King, Chapter 1553 - 1538: An Unexpected Phone Call

Chapter 1553: Chapter 1538: An Unexpected Phone Call

The next day, Song Yun woke up very late, but after waking up, he didn’t feel like moving, commonly known as lazing in bed.

But even so, so things still find their way to you.

Just as Song Yun was idly reading a novel on his phone, he received an unexpected call.

This call was from Hei Gou.

Many people might have forgotten Hei Gou, but Song Yun rembered him. This person had helped him repair Seven Kill and in return, made Song Yun promise him one favor, though Hei Gou never specified what it would be when Song Yun took Seven Kill.

Song Yun t with Hei Gou at his shop, accompanied by Qingluan by his side.

"Long ti no see!"

Hei Gou, who still kept his two braids, looked like a dwarf blacksmith.

"It has indeed been a while," Song Yun said with emotion. It had been almost a year since he last left.

"I heard you’ve been doing quite well lately," Hei Gou said while pounding on a piece of glowing hot iron. "You haven’t forgotten about , have you?"

"I wouldn’t dare," Song Yun replied with a smile. "You were the one who repaired my Seven Kill. I can never forget that favor!"

"Hahaha, they all say Song Yun is a treacherous villain, but it seems that’s not entirely true," Hei Gou said.

"There are always so people spreading rumors, but rumors are stopped by wise n," Song Yun said.

"Exactly. The reason I called you here today is to ask you for a favor," Hei Gou said, plunging the iron into cold water, causing it to boil and steam to rise.

"Please, go on!"

Song Yun said, "As long as it’s sothing I can do, there’s absolutely no problem!"

"You... know Song Kunlun, right?"

Hei Gou asked.

Song Yun’s eyes sharpened. "I do!"

"The favor I want to ask is actually quite simple," Hei Gou said. "Help

kill Song Kunlun!"

"Kill Song Kunlun?"

Song Yun stared at Hei Gou in shock and asked, "Do you have a grudge against him?"

"A grudge? Of course!"

Hei Gou smiled, with a disdainful expression. "Back then, if it weren’t for , he wouldn’t even know where he was hiding!"

"What?"

Song Yun was even more shocked. "What do you an by that?"

"Those were things of the past,"

Hei Gou casually placed the hamr aside and sat on a chair. "Do you know about the origins of the Dragon Sect?"

"The Dragon Sect... isn’t that founded by Song Kunlun? It’s grown into a strong force under him," Song Yun said.

"That’s what you all know," Hei Gou shook his head, "but in fact, the Dragon Sect was founded by

back then!"

"What!!!"

Song Yun said in shock, "The Dragon Sect, founded by you?"

"That’s right!"

Hei Gou showed a reminiscent look. "Back then, Song Kunlun was just a rookie stepping into society, and I was already the boss in our area. At that ti, the Dragon Sect wasn’t called the Dragon Sect. We were nad Zou Dao Team because we used large knives. Later, Song Kunlun joined us. I was the leader then, and we worked in the Northeast, making a living. I noticed Song Kunlun’s abilities and elevated him to a high position!"

As he said this, a painful expression appeared on Hei Gou’s face. "And because of that, I ended up like this!"

Song Yun looked at Hei Gou nervously, not interrupting.

"I didn’t expect Song Kunlun to be that kind of person. After one dispute with others, Song Kunlun conspired with his loyal subordinates to kill ! I managed to escape with my life, but I lost my Zou Dao Team!"

"After driving

away, Song Kunlun imdiately mobilized his connections and network to encircle . I fled south, ending up in Sunan. Do you know why I opened my shop here? It’s because I was hiding from Song Kunlun. I’ve been in hiding for fifteen to twenty years now!"

As he spoke, Hei Gou gripped his clothes, lifting them off and turning his back to Song Yun. "Do you see what’s on my back?"

Song Yun nodded.

On Hei Gou’s back was a long knife scar, extending almost from his shoulder to his waist.

The scar was about a ter long, looking quite ferocious, resembling a dragon.

"This was the first cut Song Kunlun gave ," Hei Gou said, turning to face Song Yun, "This scar is my lifelong sha. When I first t you, I wanted you to avenge , but you were too weak then. Now, as the rightful East South King, you’re capable of helping , so... I hope you can kill Song Kunlun for !"

"Well..." Song Yun hesitated on how to express his feelings, but Hei Gou continued, "Of course, if you can’t do it, then forget it. I won’t force you. You’ve achieved a lot, and it’s not easy. Having worked with Song Kunlun, I know he’s difficult to deal with!"

"That’s not what I an," Song Yun said. "Since you want

to kill Song Kunlun, I’ll do it. But I can’t just rush to the Northeast now to assassinate him. Not only is the success rate low, but I also risk getting trapped. It requires a comprehensive plan!"

"Yes, Song Kunlun’s martial prowess is formidable," Hei Gou said. "At least, back then, I was no match for him, and I was at the mid to lower levels of the War God List!"

"Mid to lower levels of the War God List!!" Song Yun exclaid in shock, "You were once of mid to lower level prowess on the War God List!"

"Yes, for Song Kunlun to attack

at my peak, it proves his strength is no joke. Do you know why I could repair Seven Kill? It’s because I can use inner qi, using it to control the hamr, enabling

to crack open Seven Kill and reforge it," Hei Gou said.

"So that’s it," Song Yun finally understood why Hei Gou’s skills were so excellent—it was indeed thanks to inner qi.

"By my estimation, all these years later, if Song Kunlun maintained that progress, he should at least be at the mid-level of the War God List now. And if he’s had any fortuitous encounters, entering the top forty, even the top thirty, isn’t out of the question," Hei Gou said.

"The top thirty..." Song Yun pondered for a mont, then smiled and said, "Even if it’s the top five, it doesn’t an they can’t be killed!"
