Chapter 1044: Chapter 1044: Actions from All Sides

At this moment, within the Secluded Orchid Mountain Range.

Aside from leaving a few people to monitor Su Yun’s every move, Su He led Su Xing and others back to Su Dongyu’s side and informed him about Lin Chen’s appearance.

Although Lin Chen only has the Second Layer of Nirvana Realm in cultivation, his strength is comparable to the Seventh Level of Nirvana Realm, or even stronger.

Therefore, Su He needed to understand Su Dongyu’s attitude toward Lin Chen. After all, once Lin Chen is offended, he must be dealt with fatally.

After hearing Su He’s description of Lin Chen, Su Dongyu’s attitude was very firm; he had long coveted the position of the Young Master of the Su Family. Now with this opportunity, he naturally would not let it slip by, regardless of Lin Chen’s interference or other people in the clan—he would show no mercy.

In these five years, while Su Yun’s strength was declining, Su Dongyu had managed to gain quite a following within the clan—about one-third of the clan members supported his line now.

However, Su Yun had still been the Young Master of the Su Family. Even though five years had passed and he had almost become a disabled person, and Su Liuyun was also injured, still, one-third of the people supported them.

This was also what Su Dongyu feared. If he forcibly killed Su Yun, once the clan members found out, it would inevitably bring disapproval and make it difficult for him to become the new Young Master.

Moreover, his uncle Su Liuyun cherished Su Yun immensely. If Su Dongyu really killed Su Yun, Su Liuyun would never let him go.

Despite this, Su Dongyu was resolute about obtaining the position of the Young Master. If he couldn’t kill Su Yun in this trial, he would have to take the risk himself.

"Rest assured, Young Master, we will definitely not disappoint you."

After understanding Su Dongyu’s intent, Su He immediately took his leave.

When Su Dongyu left, he signaled the collateral lines to start taking action as well.

Su He and others are from his direct line; if something happened to Su Dongyu, their status in the Su Family would also be compromised.

Previously, Su Dongyu had some reservations, worried that if he wasn’t discreet it could leak out, since there are many eyes and ears among collateral relatives, and it’s hard to guarantee that no one would betray him.

But now, there were outsiders around Su Yun, which seemed to be hired from outside, making it somewhat difficult for direct descendants to act.

Therefore, Su Dongyu decided that people from the collateral lines should also strike together.

To ensure that Su Yun would surely die in this trial, Su Dongyu also took other measures...

...

At this moment, at the boundary close to the Dark Mountains and the Flowing Sky Gorge, a group of people dressed in black were hiding within the Gorge, quietly approaching the Secluded Orchid Mountain Range.

This group had about thirty people, almost all of whom had reached the Ninth Layer of the Nirvana Realm.

Such a force, if in the Eastern Domain, would be comparable to any top existence of a super Sect.

All of them are assassins, and the task they had received this time was actually to assassinate the Young Master of the Su Family.

In normal times, even with ten thousand times their courage, they would not dare to accept such a task.

After all, the Su Family is a prestigious family in Central State, even if they could complete the task, they might earn money, but may not live to spend it.

However, the reward this time was too tempting, making them, the Wolf Fang Mercenary Group, unable to resist being tempted.

"Big brother, are we really going to do this task? That’s the Young Master of the Su Family. That old man Su Liuyun is extremely protective; if he finds out it was our Wolf Fang Mercenary Group that killed his son, we couldn’t endure his revenge."

A mercenary said, extremely anxious about this task.

"What’s there to fear? The reward this time is so substantial, kill that lad, take the reward, and we can work fewer decades. It’s much quicker than doing dozens of tasks as before."

The leader of the Wolf Fang Mercenary Group said, the other members hearing this nodded in agreement, willing to risk it for the gain this time.

"But boss, Su Yun is after all the Young Master of the Su Family, even though his position in the family has declined, he still has many supporters. Moreover, his own strength is not weak; we might have a tough time dealing with him."

The mercenary replied worriedly.

"Hmph, that’s ignorance. You probably don’t know, that waste Su Yun started to decline in cultivation five years ago, any one of us could easily kill him now."

"Moreover, the Su Family’s hunting trial is held in the Secluded Orchid Mountain Range, the Su Family’s strong members are not allowed to enter and interfere. So this task is relatively easy for us."

"Just kill that lad, even if Su Liuyun finds out it was done by our Wolf Fang Mercenary Group afterward, we can take the money and flee far, leaving Tian Que City, or even leaving Central State. I don’t believe Su Liuyun will chase us to the ends of the earth to seek revenge."

The leader of the Wolf Fang Mercenary Group confidently said. The other mercenaries were thrilled and admired the leader even more.

"Boss, I still have one thing I don’t understand. Since the reward for this task is so high, why not directly let those famous Assassin Groups do it, but find us?"

The mercenary asked doubtfully.

"You don’t get it. This task can only be done by a mercenary group like ours, neither too big nor too small. Giving it to those weaker than us, the risk is too great; giving it to those famous assassin groups, the Su Family would surely find out, and the chances of success would be much less."

"Only our Wolf Fang Mercenary Group can complete this task."

The leader answered. Hearing this, the mercenary admired him even more, continuing to shower the leader with flattery.

Actually, the leader knew this task was extremely dangerous, but seduced by the huge reward, he believed it was worth a try.

After all, fortune favors the bold; missing this chance, who knows when such an opportunity would come again.
