420: Chapter 420: Number Six Has Arrived_1 420: Chapter 420: Number Six Has Arrived_1 “What’s the current situation after last night’s events at the party?” Su Chengyu asked.
“From what I know, the Black Dragon Comrce Association and Dragon Soul Departnt have sent a considerable number of people to search for you all over the city, Zhao Tai’an and Wei Chengzhou personally went to the Lu family to demand that Lu Wanrong hand you over.
But negotiations broke down, and the Black Dragon Comrce Association and Dragon Soul Departnt have already taken action against the Lu family.
The Lu family is in for a hard ti,” Fang Ming relayed the information he knew to Su Chengyu.
“Thank you for letting know, Mr.
Fang.
Sorry to have bothered you,” said Su Chengyu.
“You’re welco!
After my sister returned ho, she pleaded with our father to help.
But this ti, with the intervention of the Black Dragon Comrce Association and Dragon Soul Departnt, my father was helpless.
I hope you understand, Mr.
Su,” said Fang Ming.
“This matter has nothing to do with you; the Fang Family doesn’t need to get involved,” responded Su Chengyu.
“Mr.
Su, take care!
You should leave Jiangyang as soon as possible, or there will be danger,” Fang Ming kindly reminded him.
“Thank you for the warning.”
After hanging up the phone, Su Chengyu stroked his chin, musing to himself.
Now that the fire has been lit, he could set off for Jianghuai without worry.
There was a distance of more than a thousand kiloters between Jiangyang City and Yian City in Jianghuai Province.
Su Chengyu began his journey by car.
Upon arrival at the highway tollgate, he discovered that the Dragon Soul Departnt had tead up with traffic police to search all vehicles.
He easily passed the checkpoint by changing his appearance, and set off for Jianghuai Province.
On the Lu family’s side, as soon as Lu Wanrong arrived at the office early in the morning, his secretary reported a string of unfortunate news.
Nurous properties under developnt by the Wanrong Real Estate Group across various cities in Jiangdong had been attacked.
Many workers were injured, and equipnt on site had been destroyed, ceasing all operations.
Additionally, several companies wanting to terminate their partnership with the Wanrong Group, they explicitly ntioned that they did not dare to oppose Fourth Zhao Master of the Black Dragon Comrce Association.
As a listed company the Wanrong Group shares plumted as soon as the market opened.
The losses were severe.
Although Lu Wanrong had called an ergency overnight teleconference to discuss possible contingencies, they barely provided any relief under the current trendous pressure.
Even if Lu Wanrong wanted to hand over Su Chengyu now, he couldn’t find him.
In the end, it was the Lu family that had to bear the brunt of Zhao Tai’an and Wei Chengzhou’s fury.
Lu Yunxi’s misstep had plunged the Lu family into a crisis.
Without stopping along the way, Su Chengyu drove for more than ten hours before finally reaching Huaizhou City, the provincial capital of Jianghuai.
From Huaizhou to Yian, there was still a distance of more than five hundred kiloters.
Su Chengyu chose to stay in Huaizhou for a while, first to inquire about Nine Peaks Mountain before making his next move.
After having a bath and lying on the hotel bed, Su Chengyu activated the Green Lotus Fragnts.
Using ntal intentions, he contacted the sixth holder through the Green Lotus Fragnts.
“Number Six, have you arrived at Yi An yet?
Have you found any treasures?
Hurry up and share with us,” he asked.
After a while, Number Six replied, “What’s the rush?
The enchantnt around Nine Peaks Mountain has not yet dissipated, and the entire Nine Peaks Mountain has been declared a restricted area by the Jianghuai Dragon Soul Departnt.
Right now, if you go there, you won’t even find a speck of dust.
Let’s just wait a bit longer.”
“Given that it’s been declared a restricted area by the Dragon Soul Departnt, doesn’t that an you won’t have a chance?” Su Chengyu asked.
Although the spiritual energy of the world has now beco sparse, the large territory of the Xia Country is rich in resources, and there are many ancient Immortal residences left behind.
Once these Immortal residences are discovered, they are controlled by the Dragon Soul Departnt.
The treasures inside naturally beco national assets, and no one is allowed to occupy them privately.
For this reason, the Dragon Soul Departnt and the Demon Slayer Departnt are extrely wealthy, and the resources they possess are not sothing ordinary Martial Artists and Cultivators can compare to.
In addition to Immortal residences, any natural treasures found also beco national assets.
However, these things are extrely tempting to Martial Artists and Cultivators, and there will always be people who will take risks to try to seize them despite prohibitions.
In the face of temptation, Martial Artists often break the laws and regulations using force to seek benefits.
“The commotion at Nine Peaks Mountain this ti is not small.
Even though the Dragon Soul Departnt has blocked the news, it has already been leaked out.
When the enchantnt dissipates, many people will surely rush in during the chaos to snatch treasures, they won’t be able to cover everything,” said Number Two, the holder of the Purple Lotus Fragnt who first shared the news about Nine Peaks Mountain in the group.
“What if several White Robed Saint Envoys from the Demon Slayer Departnt are directly dispatched?
Who would dare to brazenly break in then?” Su Chengyu asked.
“There are only twelve White Robed Saint Envoys in total, and the God-Dragon is elusive and rarely intervenes in such matters personally.
Additionally, in recent years, the attitude from above has loosened in this regard, hoping to provide everyone with so opportunities for a breakthrough.
The decision to seal Nine Peaks Mountain was likely made by the Dragon Soul Departnt in Jianghuai Province, as the Demon Slayer Departnt wouldn’t bother about an immortal residence of this level,” Number Two explained.
Upon hearing this, Su Chengyu sneered inwardly, suspecting that the treasures of most large-scale Immortal residences had been claid by the officials long ago and that the ones now being discovered were leftovers thrown to the masses.
At this point, Number Six said, “Number Two, you seem to know a lot about the Dragon Soul Departnt and the Demon Slayer Departnt.
Are you part of one of these two departnts?”
Actually, after hearing Number Two’s explanation, Su Chengyu had also beco suspicious.
The news about Nine Peaks Mountain was first ntioned by Number Two in the group chat, and it was only after a few days that soone ntioned it on the Dragon Soul Departnt forum.
How could Number Two have known about the situation at Nine Peaks Mountain so early without having official channels?
Confronted with Number Six’s question, Number Two remained silent.
After Number Six called a few more tis, there was still no response from Number Two, as if he had already left the group chat.
The Rainbow Heart Lotus Fragnts have mostly been used like a chat tool.
If soone doesn’t want to chat, they can completely shut it off, and not receive any group chat or calling ssages.
They can also be set to semi-closed mode, where they won’t receive group chat ssages actively, but if soone calls, there will be a response.
Su Chengyu usually leaves the Green Lotus Fragnt in semi-closed mode.
“Since he stopped talking, it seems like I guessed right.
But I just don’t know if he is from the Dragon Soul Departnt or the Demon Slayer Departnt.
It’s a pity that he is a man otherwise; I wouldn’t be so uninterested,” Number Six said, their enthusiasm waning.
“Number Six, have you arrived at Yian yet?” Su Chengyu continued to ask.
His plan was to uncover Number Six before Nine Peaks Mountain opened, and ascertain his identity.
“No, not yet!
I just got to Jiangyang City in Jiangdong, and I ran into a wildly beautiful woman.
I want to have a good chat about life and dreams with this beauty, and I just can’t bear to leave,” he said.
True to his colours, Number Six was indeed an old playboy.
Always a hopeless romantic, he was stopped in his tracks by a beautiful woman.
Su Chengyu was taken aback when he heard this.
Number Six had gone to Jiangyang?
So, they had just missed each other!
However, who could be the beautiful woman he was talking about?
Could it be Qin Muge?
Lu Yunxi?
Fang Yue?
Su Chengyu didn’t ask too many questions.
These won were each not simple characters.
Asking too many questions could easily give away his disguise.
“Well then, I wish you success,” Su Chengyu said, laughing.
