Chapter 472: Revenge - All the people from the Jianghu come together
Chapter 472: Revenge - All the people from the Jianghu come together
Su Chen stood at the entrance of the valley, frowning and staring ahead with worry. His eyes never left the entrance, and as time passed, Su Chen became more and more anxious.
Finally, after a long wait, the second sister appeared at the entrance of the valley. Su Chen felt relieved. He hurried forward and asked with concern, "Second sister, why did you take so long to come out? I was so worried! If you don't come out, I will go in to find you!"
Zhou Leng comforted Su Chen, "Don't worry, I'm fine. It's just that some of the situations inside are complicated, so it took some time. Let's leave here first and talk to a safe place."
Su Chen nodded, and the two hurriedly left the valley. After half a day's trek, they arrived at a prosperous town. There were a lot of people here, and shops lined the streets, making it a lively scene.
The brother and sister found an inn to stay in. After a short rest, Zhou Leng told Su Chen everything that happened in the valley.
Su Chen was shocked. He didn't expect that the sect leader was Yuchi Da. He looked at his second sister with a complicated but worried look.
"I'm fine. It's all over. Go to bed early. I'm a little tired."
Su Chen nodded and left considerately.
***
After some twists and turns, the brother and sister finally returned to Luohua Town.
Along the way, Zhou Leng personally went to the mountains to collect herbs, and then went to the pharmacy to purchase various rare medicinal materials in order to gather all the materials needed to refine the foundation-building pill.
After months of hard work, Zhou Leng gathered all the materials. After several days of hard work, Zhou Leng successfully refined the foundation-building pill.
During the retreat, Zhou Leng endured the great pain brought by the cleansing of meridians and marrow. This pain was like thousands of ants gnawing at her bones, and she was in excruciating pain. She gritted her teeth and persevered with her tenacious willpower and firm belief.
Finally, after experiencing painful torture, Zhou Leng successfully broke through the bottleneck. She washed her body, dressed neatly, and walked out of the retreat place in high spirits.
As soon as Zhou Leng saw Su Chen, he saw his face full of resentment and frost. Su Chen clenched his teeth tightly, his face full of uncontrollable anger, and he said in a low voice:
"Second sister, do you know? The Cui family has sent out invitations to heroes from all walks of life, inviting them to gather in Suzhou City to celebrate Cui Yichuan's wedding! The bodies of the Su family members are not even cold yet!" A strong sense of anger and murderous intent surged in Su Chen's heart.
Su Chen became more and more agitated. He clenched his fists tightly, his nails almost digging into his palms. "I really want to tear them into pieces!"
Zhou Leng asked: "Did they say who Cui Yichuan is going to marry?"
Su Chen's face became even gloomier, and he said slowly: "The Cui family did not say it clearly. I don't know how sad my eldest sister would be if she were still alive. She and the man surnamed Cui grew up together and had a deep relationship, but in the end my eldest sister couldn't put down the sword in her hand..." When he said this, Su Chen's voice gradually became low, as if he remembered his eldest sister's past, and his heart was filled with grief and helplessness.
Zhou Leng knew that the bride would most likely be Su Meng. The Su and Cui families were related by marriage, and those with Su blood also needed to be appeased by the Cui family. All the people in power in the Su family were dead, and those people might not fall out with the Cui family for the dead people of the Su family. As long as there were enough benefits, these people would still support the Cui family to completely take charge of the Four Seas Alliance. Looking back, if the eldest sister Su Lian had not fought desperately and saw the face of the attacker, she would probably have been left alive.
Zhou Leng's voice seemed to come from the Netherworld, cold and ruthless. She said expressionlessly: "Let's go and see the excitement." The murderous intent contained in this sentence made people feel cold.
"Second sister, are we going too?" Su Chen was a little hesitant.
"I have made a breakthrough. I will take this opportunity to kill the culprit and avenge myself."
"Okay." Su Chen's tone was firm.

The world of martial arts suddenly became lively, and various forces rushed to Suzhou City to attend the wedding of the eldest son of the Cui family. After all, the Cui family now controls the Four Seas Alliance, and all parties have to give them some face.
Zhou Leng and Su Chen did not seem out of place among the crowd who went to watch the ceremony. As soon as they entered Suzhou City, the atmosphere became lively. The streets and alleys were decorated with lights, red silks, and lit lanterns. It was a festive scene. All the inns were crowded. Zhou Leng and Su Chen just found a remote and simple inn and stayed in an ordinary room.
On this day, the Cui family's gate was wide open, welcoming every guest who came. Standing at the door were the Cui family's stewards, dressed in gorgeous clothes, smiling, and warmly welcoming everyone who walked through the gate.
All the guests who were able to enter the Cui family's house to watch the ceremony were powerful people. They were either powerful officials or famous martial arts masters. Everyone was dressed in gorgeous clothes, with extraordinary demeanor, chatting and laughing with each other, showing their identity and status.
Su Chen carefully hid in the crowd, trying not to attract other people's attention.
At this moment, Zhou Leng sneaked into Cui Mansion like a ghost, hiding in the dark and waiting for the right time.
In the spacious and bright lobby, the Cui family's head and his wife sat in the main seats. Both of them were dressed gorgeously. Surrounding them were some distinguished guests. They were either whispering to each other or smiling, all waiting for the arrival of the newlyweds.
As time passed, everyone's eyes turned to the door, expecting the newcomer to appear as soon as possible.
Master Cui frowned slightly, a trace of displeasure flashed across his face. He turned around and whispered a few words to the people behind him, as if asking about the situation. At this moment, a black shadow suddenly rushed in from outside the door, streaking through the air like a meteor, and then fell heavily to the ground with a "bang".
This sudden scene stunned everyone. The hall fell silent in an instant, with only the sound of the black shadow falling to the ground echoing in the air.
Immediately afterwards, blood gushed out from the black shadow like a fountain, instantly dyeing the ground red, forming a shocking pool of blood.
"Chuan'er!" A shrill scream broke the silence.
Everyone looked closely and saw that the man lying in a pool of blood was actually the groom Cui Yichuan! There was a deep sword wound on his neck, and blood was gushing out from the wound. It was obvious that he had been killed by a sword.
Cui Yichuan's mother, the wife of Patriarch Cui, was as pale as paper. Her body was shaky and she seemed to be about to faint at any time. She stared with wide eyes, her face full of horror and disbelief, and she kept muttering: "Chuan'er... my Chuan'er..."
Patriarch Cui stood up, and the table under his command broke into pieces. He roared, "Who is committing a crime in my Cui family?"
A figure rushed in from the door, and she said loudly: "I am here to take your life!"
Everyone in the room turned their heads to look and saw a young woman in mourning clothes already standing in the lobby.
Sect Master Cui's eyes flashed coldly, but he said in a gentle voice, trying to suppress his anger: "Su Yao, what do you mean?"
"In order to take control of the Four Seas Alliance, the Cui family betrayed their loyalty and killed the entire Su family. Now I, Su Yao, come here to seek revenge. What do you think is their intention?"
Everyone in the lobby looked at each other, and those who knew the inside story remained silent.
After Zhou Leng finished speaking, he attacked Sect Leader Cui with the sword in his hand.
After Su Chen discovered the chaos inside, he took advantage of the chaos to sneak into Cui's mansion and started setting fire to the village.
