But upon seeing Bai Henian's solemn expression, Duan Yu suddenly realized what was going on.

He looked shocked.

"No, that sir... why would he value Su Chen?"

"Junior brother, sometimes you are just too reckless."

Bai Henian sighed.

"Think about it carefully, what is so special about Su Chen?"

Upon hearing this, Duan Yu fell into deep thought.

Duan Yu harbored deep hatred for Su Chen because he was crippled by Ji Yunting's life-saving spiritual light!

But once he calmed down, he realized that Su Chen was unusual.

Don’t say anything else.

Su Chen was only A- in combat power, but when he faced someone with A+ combat power, he was only slightly at a disadvantage.

When he finally used the pseudo-Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, Su Chen did not surrender but instead went all out!

This is enough to prove just how terrifying Su Chen's strength is!

"At present, he is the key."

"Only after he becomes an immortal will he know the truth that the True Martial Emperor left us!"

"That's why that lord values ​​Su Chen so much!"

"Your kneeling before Su Chen today may seem like a loss of face, but it's better than losing your life."

"If that lord finds out what you've done..."

Bai Henian revealed a meaningful expression.

Duan Yu's heart sank, and he quickly said,

"Senior brother's consideration is indeed thorough; junior brother knows he was wrong!"

"If you know your mistakes and can correct them, there is no greater good."

Bai Henian patted Duan Yu on the shoulder and said earnestly,

"If you have the chance in the future, you must build a good relationship with Su Chen, understand?"

"Understood!"

Duan Yu nodded emphatically.

……

On the other side, in Xinggang City.

After a major battle, the original city center was almost completely reduced to ruins.

Fortunately, all members of Suzaku are extraordinary individuals.

Not long after that, the superhumans in charge of logistics had already started to take action.

Feeling depressed, Cheng Kun did not linger.

He led Liu Hailong, Li Pei, and others straight back to the combat department.

Looking at the familiar minister's office, Cheng Kun's mood grew increasingly unpleasant!

Noticing his expression, Liu Hailong cautiously said,

"Brother-in-law, the people of Dao Yi Sect are truly blind. How could they value Su Chen so much?"

"Yeah, it's one thing to value Su Chen, but to actually remove him from his position as minister is just infuriating!"

"Without Chengtou, we're afraid we won't have any good days ahead!"

The others chimed in with their own opinions.

Hearing their words only made Cheng Kun more agitated!

"Alright, you can all leave now. Let me have some peace and quiet!"

No one dared to say anything more, and they all got up and left.

Only Liu Hailong remained motionless in place.

"Liu Hailong, didn't you hear what I said?!"

Cheng Kun's expression darkened.

"Brother-in-law, I have something important I want to discuss with you!"

Liu Hailong said in a low voice.

Seeing his serious expression, Cheng Kun's heart skipped a beat.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Brother-in-law, judging from the current situation, it seems that our future days are going to get increasingly difficult!"

Liu Hailong is absolutely right.

The Vermilion Bird can be seen as the representative of the Daoist sect in the secular world.

Now, Dao Yi Sect treats Su Chen as an honored guest, and Lu Benwei, who is on good terms with Su Chen, has been appointed as the deputy minister and concurrently the minister of the combat department.

It probably won't be long before he replaces Wei An and becomes the chief minister of Zhuque.

At that point, how could Cheng Kun, who had repeatedly clashed with Su Chen, possibly have a good ending?

"What can we do?"

Cheng Kun was listless and authentic.

"The only thing we can do now is to bow down and admit our mistake to Su Chen!"

"Who said that? Brother-in-law, we can choose another path."

Liu Hailong said with a smile.

"What way?"

Cheng Kun was taken aback.

"Brother-in-law, do you remember the conflict we had with the Russians before?"

Liu Hailong reminded him.

Cheng Kun frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then nodded.

"I remember."

The Kunshan Society, under Liu Hailong's command, occupies Kunshan Province, located in the northernmost part of China.

And to the north of Kunshan Province lies the infamous Russian bear country.

Most of Russia's territory is located in high-latitude regions with a cold climate and a harsh living environment.

So, like Japan, they are actually eyeing China's territory with covetous intent.

There have been many previous incidents of the Russian Empire invading Kunshan.

On several occasions, it was Cheng Kun who sent his men to help Liu Hailong defeat the Russians.

"Just recently, the Russian bear sent an envoy to try to win me over."

"I thought we were all from the Vermilion Bird faction, so I directly rejected their attempts to win us over."

"But now, could we use the power of the Russian bear country to fight against the Hengdao Sect and Su Chen?"

Liu Hailong's suggestion made Cheng Kun somewhat interested.

If he stays in Suzaku, he will inevitably have to grovel before Su Chen.

Moreover, even if he were to grovel and submit, Su Chen might not necessarily let him off the hook!

Instead, we should consider joining forces with the Russian nation to deal with Dao Yi Sect, Zhu Que, and Su Chen!

"But are you aware of the strength of the Russian bear country?"

Cheng Kun had some concerns.

"Kunshan borders Russia, so I actually know a bit about their situation."

Liu Hailong laughed,

"The power of the Russian bear country far exceeds our imagination."

"Their most mysterious wilderness tribe is absolutely on par with the Dao Yi Sect in terms of strength!"

Cheng Kun could hardly believe it.

After all, the strength of the Dao Yi Sect is undeniable.

Bai Henian, the S-rank sect leader; Duan Yu, at the peak of A+; and Yan Zheng, who had just entered A+.

In addition, there are several other elders with A+ combat power.

What merit or ability does the Russian bear country possess to be compared with the Daoist sect?

"Brother-in-law, we share the same fate, so how could I dare to lie to you?"

Liu Hailong advised,

"Since things have come to this, we might as well make contact with Russia first."

"What if they really do have a strong foundation?"

Cheng Kun pondered for a while, and finally nodded.

"Try to get to know them first and see how they react!"

"I'll secretly test Li Pei and the others to see if they're willing to come with us!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Hailong couldn't help but show a look of joy.

"OK, leave it to me!"

……

Su Chen didn't know how long he slept.

When he woke up, he was already in the room.

Looking around, it seemed to be the place Shen Yue had arranged for him to stay in Shicheng.

Just then, a burst of playful noises came from outside.

Su Chen stretched and got up to go to the window.

Through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, he could see Mengqi playing with a unicorn in the courtyard outside.

Zhong Yage, Luo Xiaotian, Wang Yan, and others laughed heartily.

Su Chen went downstairs, pushed open the door, and went out.

"Boss Su!"

"Brother Su!"

Upon seeing Su Chen wake up, everyone was both surprised and delighted, and quickly gathered around him.
