Chapter 1691: Chapter 1777: Revenge
On the way, Su Xuan roughly explained to them that he hoped they could help support Xuan in establishing a Gu Poison family, and his idea was to merge the Gu Poison family with the Heroic Manor. This definitely made the four of them very excited, as they saw it as the best opportunity given to them. freewёbnoνel.com
"Hu, what’s the origin of this Qingzhu Gang?"
Su Xuan was quite curious about this Qingzhu Gang, as they dared to challenge him directly, which he found truly audacious.
"The Qingzhu Gang is said to be a branch from the Imperial Capital. This group is flamboyant, ruthless, and damn rich. After arriving here, they successively swallowed up the City Hunter, Peacock Manor, and Phantom Workshop. Initially, they didn’t dare to make a move against us, but two months ago, the Young Madam went out shopping, and then met the Gang Leader of Qingzhu Gang, which became the fuse for everything after that!"
Hu Shulin recounted the events in detail, revealing that when the Qingzhu Gang leader Chen Qinglong saw Xue Mengxue two months ago, he was utterly captivated, obsessed with the idea of bedding Xue Mengxue, even resorting to kidnapping, but every time he was thwarted by the brothers of Heroic Manor.
The power of the Qingzhu Gang is incredibly vast, and their strength develops rapidly; the whole economy of Miaojiang is enveloped by them, spreading almost all over Miaojiang. There’s no denying that their power is indescribably formidable.
The power of the Qingzhu Gang sometimes seems incredible. In just six months, they have almost surrounded the entire Miaojiang, and even the power of Heroic Manor was directly uprooted by them.
When Su Xuan left, the Heroic Manor had actually developed considerably, forming a certain scale at least, and with the protection of the Eighteen treasure swords, their power was not something ordinary people could compare to.
But now, much of the Heroic Manor’s business has been taken over by them. After listening, Su Xuan vaguely felt that this Qingzhu Gang was not simple, and that the Qingzhu Gang was just a puppet, estimating that the power behind the scenes was the strongest.
"What about the Eighteen Sword? We have so many masters in Heroic Manor. Could they all be annihilated?"
Su Xuan asked curiously, and when he returned to Heroic Manor, everyone was gone. Now the entire Heroic Manor was almost deserted, except for Hu Shulin.
"Thirteen swords of the Eighteen Sword died in battle; three died the most tragically. Those three were chopped into mincemeat by over a hundred madmen wielding Guan Gong’s Blade to protect the Young Madam!"
As Hu Shulin spoke, he was heartbroken, feeling a deep discomfort. Originally famous throughout Miaojiang, the Eighteen Sword now only had two swords left; one is the Bright Moon Sword in his hand, and the other is the Chasing Wind Sword in Brother Meng’s hand!
"Bastards!"
Su Xuan punched the floor. Instantly, three floorboards shattered with that punch.
"The remaining three swords betrayed, namely, Ruofeng Sword, Cloud Mist Sword, and Long Wind Sword! Old Master Ximen publicly cursed that the three of them were not worthy of these swords, resulting in his hand being cut off, and now he can’t forge swords anymore!"
"What!"
Su Xuan truly felt furious, never expecting things to escalate to such an extent.
"The whole Ximen Family is now occupied, and they can only live sparingly in a basement now!"
Su Xuan spat, instantly feeling a murderous intent, thinking that just because Miaojiang is remote, chaos can be sown?
"Where is Old Master Ximen, take me to see them!"
Su Xuan genuinely felt it was a pity for Ximen Changfeng, as the old master had always been courageous and righteous, yet he had his arm cut off just for speaking a few words for him.
"Boss, let me take you!"
"Hmm, Zhu Yeqing, you all rest here for a bit; Brother Meng, get some good food, and if anyone comes to make trouble, break their legs and don’t let them leave!"
Su Xuan didn’t know what had happened before, so he had shown some mercy, but he hadn’t imagined they would be so frenzied.
When Su Xuan followed Hu Shulin through a few alleys, they soon arrived at a slum area. Just at the entrance of the slum, Su Xuan saw a familiar back. It was a man in his twenties, an assassin not wearing clothes, left hand holding fire tongs and the right hand swinging a hammer as he forged.
"Ximen Chuixue!"
Su Xuan came up behind Ximen Chuixue, somewhat uncertainly calling out. The man let out a clang, and a piece of pig iron instantly fell to the ground. Then, turning around and seeing Su Xuan, he was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes.
"Big brother, it’s really you!"
Ximen Chuixue said, already in tears, truly astonished to see Su Xuan alive right in front of him.
After the family turmoil, Ximen Chuixue went from a rich scion to a pauper overnight; his father’s hand was cut off, and his uncle was killed, so now he could only prop up this family by making farm tools to support his family.
"Sigh..."
Su Xuan let out a long sigh, looking at Ximen Chuixue; he never expected the once gallant Ximen Chuixue would now be like a farmer, forging iron—the situation was truly beyond Su Xuan’s expectations.
"Brother, it’s been hard on you!"
Su Xuan felt quite guilty, having heard on the way over from Hu Shulin about Ximen Chuixue being a spoiled rich kid. This spoiled rich kid had directly provided significant help when Heroic Manor was economically challenged, and it was precisely because of this that their family suffered.
"Big brother, it’s good you’re back; I always believed you wouldn’t die!"
Ximen Chuixue said, his voice choked with emotion.
When Ximen Chuixue took Su Xuan to the place he now lived, Su Xuan saw Ximen Changfeng lying on the bed and felt a stench wafting from his arm.
"The wound is infected, go to the hospital!"
Su Xuan said, taking responsibility for his father with Ximen Chuixue, and leaving the basement. When Ximen Changfeng saw Su Xuan, tears flowed down his old cheeks.
"Little brother, the righteousness of Miaojiang is counting on you!"
Su Xuan nodded, letting out a long sigh; he had once thought that the forces to be eliminated in Miaojiang had all been uprooted by him, not expecting such a melodramatic situation still existed.
After arriving at the hospital and helping Ximen Changfeng treat his wound, Su Xuan took Ximen Changfeng directly to Heroic Manor.
"By the way, where’s your little wife?"
Su Xuan felt strange; surely, this Beautiful Inspector wouldn’t ignore the situation!
