Chapter 280: Chapter 186: Sudden Change
Inside the room.
Su Xing came to his senses completely.
He stared blankly at the scene before him. After a long moment, it felt as though his soul had finally returned to his body. He scrambled up from his chair and couldn’t help but curse,
"That felt awful."
"Haha, it’s always like that."
Li Longxuan chuckled and said,
"This is why Li Yu is so reluctant to attend these meetings. At the end of the day, the technology hasn’t been perfected yet. It’s bound to have some rough spots."
With the meeting over, Su Xing had more or less accomplished his goal. Just as he was preparing to leave, the smile on Li Longxuan’s face suddenly froze.
Clearly,
something had happened.
And it was likely something Li Longxuan hadn’t anticipated.
"What happened?"
Su Xing asked directly.
Li Longxuan wasn’t one for dramatics. ’For him to suddenly show such an expression,’ Su Xing thought, ’this must have something to do with me. It’s the only reason he’d react this way.’
"There’s trouble on Beilong Street."
Li Longxuan said, his tone heavy.
Beilong Street.
It was a street in the northernmost part of Cang City.
At its far end, it connected to a mountain path, and at the end of that path was the Summer Resort—the source of many recent problems.
"What?"
Su Xing was stunned. He hadn’t expected a problem to arise from something Li Yu was handling personally. He had seen some of Li Yu’s abilities before and had a basic level of trust in the young man.
At the very least,
he was a Tier Five Peak Sequencer.
Ordinary people were no match for him.
’It’s true that I’ve been facing Tier Six and Seven opponents lately, but truly high-tier Extraordinary Beings are exceedingly rare. A Tier Five Peak is already considered an incredibly powerful foe.’
Because of this,
Su Xing immediately sensed the danger.
However,
Li Longxuan’s next words
transformed Su Xing’s wariness into frantic anxiety.
"..."
"According to the organization’s files, you’re quite close with Su Yu. So you should already know he’s on a mission."
Li Longxuan said quietly.
He wasn’t a fool. The special organization may not have investigated the mysterious expert in depth, but they had still accumulated a great deal of information from their various encounters. Factoring in his recent interactions with Su Xing, Li Longxuan had eliminated many other candidates. Su Xing’s true identity was on the tip of his tongue.
However,
out of respect for Su Xing,
he had never brought it up.
After all,
compared to Su Xing’s current strength,
his seemingly unremarkable identity simply wasn’t worth investigating.
Li Longxuan firmly believed
that in the near future, Su Xing would make his name, his identity, and his outstanding contributions to the coming war known to all.
This trust stemmed from his intuition and his fundamental understanding of Su Xing. This was not a selfish young man. If those people from the Celestial Human Tomb wanted to occupy or destroy the mortal world, they would inevitably clash with Su Xing.
"What do you mean?"
"This is the mission Su Yu is on?"
"Elder Li, you said there was a problem. What kind of problem? Su Yu... he’s going to be okay, right?!"
Su Xing froze, then immediately asked, his anxiety for Su Yu completely undisguised. He had hidden his identity for all sorts of reasons—countless worries and concerns—but in the face of his brother’s safety, none of that mattered.
Besides,
Su Xing realized,
Li Longxuan was absolutely someone he could trust.
In this world,
Su Xing needed trustworthy people—friends or elders—before whom he didn’t have to hide his thoughts. He felt he could even release his Profound Sword form in front of Li Longxuan and it would be perfectly fine.
However,
Su Xing had been hiding his identity for so long
that it had become second nature.
Thus, even though he trusted Li Longxuan, he didn’t immediately reveal his true identity.
"Mm."
"A problem has indeed come up."
"We can’t be sure how dangerous it is yet."
Li Longxuan said calmly.
Seeing how calm Li Longxuan was, Su Xing breathed a sigh of relief. ’If the situation were truly serious, he wouldn’t be this composed,’ he thought. ’It must still be at a salvageable stage.’
’Then there’s no need to panic. I just need to wait quietly for what Li Longxuan has to say.’
Sure enough,
Li Longxuan quickly continued,
"That matter you told me about before... our special organization actually found out about it long ago. The area it affected wasn’t small. It’s just that Cang City is in such a precarious situation right now, so Li Yu hadn’t been treating it as a top priority."
"This time, after I brought it to his attention, Li Yu began treating it as a priority. He immediately discovered that the crisis was escalating at an alarming rate."
"Hmm..."
"Elaborate."
Su Xing said, his expression serious.
"According to the message from Li Yu..."
"This is all the work of an Extraordinary Being who has obtained an ancient inheritance."
"An ancient inheritance?"
Su Xing murmured. He suddenly recalled the master of the Spirit Sect’s Sound Sect, and his own uncle. They had both obtained ancient inheritances, which was how they’d embarked on the Extraordinary path.
’The history of Extraordinary power stretched back far longer than the time since the Spiritual Qi’s recovery.
In that vast river of time,
there must have been countless, incredibly powerful beings.’
