Chapter 457: In Trouble_1
Yu Yanshu quickly shook her head in explanation: "No, that’s not it! Master, don’t misunderstand! I’m worried about you. If that person talks, you’ll be pursued by a lot of people."
Su Chengyu reached out to touch Yu Yanshu’s head, saying, "Master knows your intentions, but I’m not afraid at all. My identity as Su Cheng was a disguise from the start. If worst comes to worst, we can leave Jianghuai and never use this identity again - who would know it was me? If I, as a master, really were to hand you over for my own sake, wouldn’t I be scum?"
"Besides, as Cultivators, we defy the heavens by pursuing cultivation. The Heavenly Dao can be defied as well, so what is there to fear in life or death? You don’t need to worry!"
Although Su Chengyu and Yu Yanshu bore the title of master and disciple, in Su Chengyu’s heart, Yu Yanshu was more like a sister. The guilt and care he felt towards Su Xiaoxiao were all transferred onto Yu Yanshu.
Yu Yanshu reached up to wipe her tears, sobbing, "Master, it’s the greatest fortune of my life to have met you."
"Without you, I wouldn’t have been able to get into Liyuan Cave Heaven first and obtain the treasures left by the ancestors of Liyuan! This is our mutual fate and fortune. Let’s go, get in the car and wait for Mr. Qiao to come out before we leave Anyang Town."
Su Chengyu patted Yu Yanshu’s shoulder and drove away.
In the Liyuan Cave Heaven, Cao Taiming, led by his subordinates, visited the bodies of the three Hall Masters and inspected the scene of the fight.
"They were all killed by the same person, a person with profound swordsmanship, at least of Ninth Grade strength. Who the hell is it, daring to provoke the Black Dragon Commerce Association!"
Cao Taiming was filled with rage yet also at a loss. He had thought that he would definitely gain something from this treasure hunt on the Nine Peaks Mountain. Who would have thought that it would end with not just no gain, but additional losses.
The four Hall Masters were the backbone of the Black Dragon Commerce Association in Jianghuai. With all of them dead, the strength of the Black Dragon Commerce Association would be greatly reduced. After all, it was hard to cultivate a Great Grandmaster, let alone three that were of the top three grades.
