Chapter 3: The City Lord's Son Strives (2)
Li Ming was Su Chen's closest drinking buddy and troublemaking friend. The Li family held considerable influence within Soaring Clouds City, so investigating someone posed little difficulty for him.
Less than a day later, the information on the youth who bore such an uncanny resemblance to his old enemy lay spread out before Su Chen.
For all his usual unreliability, Li Ming came through when it mattered most.
"As I thought!"
A cold, vicious smile curled Su Chen's lips, his expression turning savage. His lone-wolf instincts from that day had not deceived him.
The youth really was the son of his old foe. He was the son of Xu Changzhi, the most outstanding young genius of the Xu family twenty years ago, the very one who had stood behind Xu Ba that fateful night.
His name was Xu Sheng. A disciple of Soaring Clouds Martial Academy, three years older than Su Chen, and still stuck at the ninth layer of Spirit Awakening at the age of twenty. He might have been on the verge of a breakthrough. But he would never get the chance now.
"Xu Ba, if I can't kill you, that old turtle, I can at least start carving away your clansmen one by one."
Su Chen seethed with hatred. Back when he died, he could have accepted it as a gamble lost—fair enough. The problem was that he had come back to life. The memory of his children's and old comrades' severed heads rolling to his feet, their wide, staring eyes fixed on him, haunted his dreams even now. Until not even an ant from the Xu family remained, the hatred in his heart would never be quenched.
