Chapter 578 Undercurrent
Chapter 578 Undercurrent
Several powerful figures from wealthy families were genuinely surprised by the strength of the Royal Family, which resolved the battle so quickly.
At this moment, everyone is under great pressure.
If the Black Wind Society really is playing dirty tricks, it's truly impossible to guard against them.
Several top business leaders silently calculated various possibilities and tried to find a way out of the predicament.
They knew that no matter who betrayed the information to the Imperial Gate, allowing them to prepare in advance and launch a counterattack, they needed to find solid evidence.
We cannot allow suspicion to cause infighting among ourselves.
Wang Dong looked at these people with a deep gaze.
He knew that at this moment, it was more important to remain calm and not let anger and panic cloud his judgment.
Despite the seemingly perilous situation, the people in front of them were all seasoned veterans with extraordinary resources and wisdom.
This cannot be taken lightly.
Wang Dong said gently but firmly:
"No matter how difficult the road ahead may be, we are standing together because of our mutual trust. Unity is strength, and as long as we are united, there is no difficulty that we cannot overcome."
Zhao Jingyu, Huang Ting, and Dong Zhenji nodded in succession.
Their eyes met, and they both agreed that Wang Dong was right.
Falling out at this point will benefit no one!
Huang Ting laughed heartily:
"Alright, no matter what happens, let's drink first, it's on me!"
The atmosphere eased a bit, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief!
……
Yingguo,
On a tranquil coastline.
Standing there was a man dressed in a straw raincoat and wearing a bamboo hat—Sakurai Zang, the president of the Black Wind Society.
A sword god who holds an extremely high position and is highly respected in Japan.
He was facing the vast ocean at that moment, his heart surging with emotions.
The emotions were extremely complex.
Recently,
None of the Black Wind Society's experts sent out survived.
Meanwhile, Cao Erdan, the opponent, not only emerged unscathed, but was also about to extend the life of his already aging opponent, Su Yi!
All of this made Sakurai Kuranosuke extremely anxious.
He knew that Su Yi and Cao Erdan were the biggest threat to the Black Wind Society and even the entire Ying Kingdom.
If Yingguo wants to develop and expand its influence in Longguo, it will have to get rid of these two people, or all its plans will fall through!
If they are allowed to grow stronger, they could seriously threaten the stability of Ying Kingdom.
to this end,
Sakurai Kuranosuke was deeply worried, and for the sake of the long term, he had to take decisive action.
The first elder of the Black Wind Society stood behind him.
Vice President Inoue Kawanishi stood respectfully to one side.
He gazed at Sakurai Kuranosuke, his eyes gleaming with loyalty and determination.
Despite the immense burden on his heart, Sakurai Kuranosuke did not reveal his emotions.
Reason told him that the current situation was serious and that he needed to deal with it calmly.
Just as Sakurai was planning his next strategy.
A sudden phone ring broke the silence.
Inoue Kawanishi answered the call quickly.
Subsequent report:
Zhao Jingyu, from a powerful family whom they had bribed in the capital of Longguo, called to say that the other families were now questioning the sincerity of the Black Wind Society's cooperation.
They questioned whether they had betrayed them, causing them to fight against the powerful and vulnerable.
This sudden turn of events left Sakurai with a bitter smile.
Immediately, Sakurai Kuranosuke revealed a hint of anger.
He reached out and gently laid the guqin in front of him flat.
With a "clang," he flicked his finger, and a beam of light shot out, creating a wave in the sea!
Inoue Kawanishi could tell that Sakurai Kuranosuke was plotting to kill him!
In Sakurai Zang's heart, the people he despised the most were those who betrayed their country for personal gain!
However, Zhao Jingyu is an important piece in the game and cannot be easily discarded.
Sakurai Kuranosuke appears to be playing the piano to relieve his worries, but in reality, he is weighing the pros and cons and thinking about what to do next!
As the music ended, the waves gradually calmed down.
He turned around, his gaze softening.
Inoue Kawanishi could tell that the president had already made his next decision.
"Chuanxi, get up immediately and go to the Dragon Kingdom yourself! I want you to bring back Cao Erdan's head, at any cost!"
"Hey! President, I'll get right on it!"
Although he knew the task was extremely difficult, Inoue Kawanishi still agreed without hesitation.
Because in the Black Wind Society, the leader's words are absolute orders.
If you can do it, do it; if you can't, you have to do it even if it costs you your life!
Absolutely no hesitation or refusal is allowed!
Sakurai Kurano had high hopes for Inoue Kawanishi, but was also worried about the safety of his capable assistant.
Inoue Kawanishi was not only his prized student but also his pride.
This mission is extremely dangerous, but for the sake of national interests, there is no other choice.
The two were relatively speechless.
The sea breeze carried a salty scent, and the air was thick with tension and determination.
Sakurai Kuranosuke is torn between two conflicting emotions: he must consider both the safety of Inoue Kawanishi and the long-term national plan, and neither can be neglected.
In truth, Sakurai Zang also wanted to go to the Dragon Kingdom himself, not to meet Cao Erdan, because he didn't think much of a young man's abilities. He really wanted to personally meet the Dragon Kingdom's old war god, Su Yi.
But he had some reservations!
In the past, Su Yi was a renowned figure, roaming the martial world alone and intimidating all directions.
Sakurai Zang had suffered a loss at Su Yi's hands before, and the memory was still fresh in his mind.
Even though his skills had greatly increased, and his ability to use the zither as a weapon, and to make the weapon even more powerful than the sword, was now unparalleled in Japan, he still dared not take any risks lightly.
After all, he is the god of the Black Wind Society!
If God falls, the entire Black Wind Society will collapse!
Therefore, he still intends to stick to the original plan.
Kill Cao Erdan, and you'll first cripple Su Yi's support.
Inoue Kawanishi, shouldering a heavy responsibility, embarked on a journey.
He knew the journey was fraught with danger, but he went without hesitation.
Sakurai Kuranosuke remained stationed on the Japanese mainland, awaiting good news.
……
The moon hangs high in the sky over the capital at night.
Su Yi sat in the courtyard, gazing up at the Dragon Realm Tower, which seemed both real and illusory.
I couldn't help but sigh.
He thought that after his death, the Dragon Kingdom would have no successors and no more talented young people.
Who would have thought that Cao Erdan would suddenly appear out of nowhere?
Although Liao Kai has reached the Saint Realm, he has stagnated and has no room for further development.
Cao Erdan is different. This kid has only just started to exert his strength and has already reached the initial stage of the Saint Realm. He has a very promising future.
I will definitely surpass myself!
A nation has hope only when its students surpass their teachers.
If each generation is worse than the last, then we're doomed.
Without any enemy invasion, it slowly marches towards its own demise.
suddenly,
A pair of soft little hands covered his eyes.
A cute, innocent voice: "Grandpa, guess who I am!"
Su Yi smiled slightly, feeling very sweet inside.
As a powerful expert in the Heavenly Realm, he noticed when Youxiang'er entered the courtyard.
However, the little girl was still given a chance to be mischievous.
"I can't guess, it must be some little rascal!"
Youxiang'er giggled:
"I'm not a bastard, I'm Youxiang'er!"
Su Yi reached out and pulled her from behind, placing her on his lap and pinching her soft, tender cheeks.
"Oh, it really is Youxiang'er. Actually, I don't even need to look; I can tell it's you just by smelling it!"
"Grandpa, you're so amazing! How about you teach me that 'Rainbow Piercing the Sun' move again?"
Cao Erdan went to refine the Great Rejuvenation Pill, while Su Yi taught Youxiang'er swordsmanship whenever he had free time, so the father and son were not lonely at all.
Just then, the aura on the Dragon Realm Tower began to flow.
Cao Erdan came out from inside.
He held the Shennong Cauldron in his hands.
As soon as he came out, the Dragon Realm Tower behind him vanished instantly, and a wisp of dragon energy entered Cao Erdan's left palm.
