Chapter 1197: Chapter 1196 Bad News

After delivering the Elixir to Lü Donglin, Su Yang left his villa immediately.

He checked into a hotel, ensured no one was following him, and then took out the Bronze Seal Script Lü Donglin had given him.

After observing it closely, Su Yang took out his own Bronze Seal Script and placed the two together.

Everything was the same as before; the two Bronze Seal Scripts slowly fused together to form a larger Bronze Seal Script.

This confirmed that the Bronze Seal Script in his possession was indeed the same kind of object as the one on his body.

Without hesitation, Su Yang took out Destiny’s Tome and used the larger Bronze Seal Script to scan the contents of Destiny’s Tome.

As expected, just like the last time, when the Bronze Seal Script became larger, the contents displayed in Destiny’s Tome increased as well.

Su Yang saw some content that he had been unable to see before, and his understanding of many techniques deepened further.

However, Su Yang was disappointed that the records about Devouring the Heavens had not increased substantially. He wanted to know why the Shadow Phantom of Devouring the Heavens could merge with him, but the Tome did not reveal this, leaving Su Yang unclear about the reason.

After memorizing this content, Su Yang put away Destiny’s Tome and the Bronze Seal Script and sat cross-legged on the bed to cultivate according to his new insights.

After cultivating through the night, when Su Yang opened his eyes, daylight had already broken outside.

He checked his phone and saw three messages from Zhang Kui. The first two messages briefly described the current situation in the Capital City; Lü Wenbang was defeated by Lü Donglin, and Lü Peiwen died at Su Yang’s hands—an event that caused quite a stir in the Capital City.

After his defeat by Lü Donglin, Lü Wenbang fled, and to this day, no one has seen him, not even the members of the Lü Family. Thus, rumors are spreading that Lü Wenbang has been killed. Now many clans have set their sights greedily on the Lü Family’s assets.

The Lü Family, unlike the previously mentioned Wan Family which ranked among the top thirty in the Capital City, could only be considered a small clan.

However, the Lü Family still owned some assets. With the Lü Family fallen to such a state, its collapse was inevitable, so it was only natural for those clans to eagerly eye its assets for takeover.

The first two messages were fairly normal, but upon reading the third one, Su Yang immediately stood up.

The third message was about Xiao Hei. After spreading the news yesterday, Zhang Kui immediately led people to guard near Purple Lotus Garden, ready for Xiao Hei and Jeang Zier to appear.

Unfortunately, they hadn’t sighted either of them, let alone Su Yang.

However, while they were searching for Su Yang nearby the next day, they inadvertently found Xiao Hei’s cleaver by the roadside. Moreover, there were clear signs of a struggle at the scene, including a huge rock that had been split, presumably by Xiao Hei’s cleaver. But Xiao Hei was nowhere to be found at the scene, making Zhang Kui and his men suspect that Xiao Hei had encountered danger.

Su Yang’s expression changed as well; he knew the cleaver was Xiao Hei’s chosen weapon. Initially, Su Yang also intended to replace it with a better weapon, but Xiao Hei had refused. Normally, Xiao Hei wouldn’t leave his weapon behind.

Moreover, the fact that Xiao Hei had shattered a large rock indicated that he had exerted his full strength. This meant that the opponent must also be extremely powerful. Could it be that Xiao Hei really encountered danger?

Worried, Su Yang quickly called Zhang Kui to inquire about Xiao Hei.

Zhang Kui and his team, knowing that Su Yang and Lü Donglin had returned safely, were not worried about Su Yang the previous day; instead, they had been investigating Xiao Hei’s incident.

Upon receiving Su Yang’s call, Zhang Kui immediately shared his investigation results.

Zhang Kui and his team indeed had the capability to investigate such matters, having obtained results just last night. They investigated and found that the night before last, Chen Benshuang’s car had passed through that road segment and had stayed there for a while.

Later, they extracted blood samples from the ground, and after testing, it was confirmed that Chen Benshuang had been in that area and the timing matched the blood shedding from the body. This virtually confirmed Chen Benshuang’s involvement!

Having heard Zhang Kui’s investigation results, Su Yang’s brows furrowed deeply.

So, Xiao Hei encountered Chen Benshuang? But why would these two clash?

Chen Benshuang had some grievances with Su Yang, but she probably didn’t even know Xiao Hei. Why would they conflict?

Could it be that Xiao Hei blew his cover and Chen Benshuang, knowing he was Su Yang’s disciple, targeted Xiao Hei because of that?

Thinking this, Su Yang’s heart skipped a beat. Was it because he had hurt Chen Benhong and the Chen Family members the night before last, angering Chen Benshuang, that she moved against Xiao Hei?

But what was Xiao Hei’s current situation? Why was his weapon left there, but no sign of him?

Although he was not close to Chen Benshuang, Su Yang believed that if it really was a confrontation between her and Xiao Hei, she probably wouldn’t kill Xiao Hei. After all, Chen Benshuang had some sense of honor; even if she transferred her anger to Su Yang’s disciple, she would still primarily blame Su Yang.

If Xiao Hei wasn’t dead, then where was he now? Could he have been captured by Chen Benshuang, intending to use him to threaten Su Yang?

Su Yang’s expression turned cold—if that was the case, Xiao Hei’s situation was indeed perilous.

Taking a deep breath, he stood up, fully prepared to storm into the Chen residence to rescue Xiao Hei. However, as he reached the door, he stopped.

He was fully aware that, given his current strength, heading to the Chen Family would be futile. Not to mention the presence of Black Widow, a formidable enemy at the Chen Family, even without considering the family’s strength, which ranked third in the Capital City, their deep roots, and power spoke for themselves.

Even clans like the Wan and Fang Families had Terrestrial Immortals in rank. The Chen Family, being a prominent clan, undoubtedly had numerous Terrestrial Immortals stationed there.

Moreover, there were likely many experts who had reached a bottleneck but had yet to advance to Terrestrial Immortal status. Without such powerful experts, the Chen Family wouldn’t be able to hold such a status in the Capital City.

And now, although Su Yang’s power had increased significantly, he still lacked the capacity to contend directly with the Chen Family!
