Something happened. This is not going to be bloody.

Chapter 469: Revenge - The Su Family Hidden

It was a dark and windy night. There was not a trace of moonlight in the sky, only gusts of wind whistling past, as if foreshadowing that a bloody killing was about to take place.

In such an environment, Ying Shiqi led his five men and quietly came to the inn where Su Chen was staying. There were no traitors in the Shadow Gate, only corpses.

The inn was silent, with only the faint candlelight swaying in the wind. When Ying Shiqi and the others jumped onto the roof and prepared to attack, a figure flashed out from the darkness, holding a long sword. It was Zhou Leng.

Zhou Leng’s appearance surprised Ying Shiqi and others, but they did not retreat. Instead, they quickly drew their weapons and the two sides quickly fought each other.

Zhou Lengleng didn't give them any chance to breathe. She flashed and rushed towards Ying Shiqi and others like a ghost.

In an instant, the sound of metal collision was heard in the upper room of the inn. Zhou Leng's swordsmanship was as sharp as a storm, his body movements were erratic, and his sword-drawing speed was extremely fast.

The other people in the inn were frightened by the sudden sound of fighting. They hid in their rooms, closed the doors and windows, and dared not go out. The whole inn was shrouded in a tense atmosphere, as if time had frozen at this moment.

Ying Shiqi stared with eyes wide open, looking at his men in disbelief as they were all shot dead in an instant. They didn't even have a chance to resist. A sense of fear surged in his heart.

However, the moment he turned around, a sword was pressed against his chest.

Zhou Leng looked at Ying Shiqi with a flash of anger in his eyes, and said, "Go back and tell your sect leader that you have caught the wrong person! I am a top swordsman and a first-class warrior. I am the best in the world. Who can defeat me? I have only been out of the world for a few years, and my brother was caught by you bastards and used as a killer! Tell your shitty sect leader to clean his neck and wait for me. I will definitely go to him to ask for an explanation!"

Ying Shiqi's expression was unpredictable. He tried to recall the powerful swordsman named Zhou Leng in his mind, but to no avail.

Zhou Leng retracted his sword, and Ying Shiqi felt as if he had been pardoned. He took a few steps back, then turned around and jumped a few times. He disappeared into the sky as quickly as a ghost and was gone in the blink of an eye.

Su Chen stood aside and witnessed all this, his heart was filled with shock. He stared at his second sister with wide eyes, unable to speak for a long time.

Zhou Leng skillfully looted the assassins and found only some small change, which she put into her pocket. Then she said to Su Chen without turning her head, "Go to sleep. I have to prepare medicine for detoxification tomorrow."

Seeing his second sister's nonchalant attitude, Su Chen even wondered if he was making a fuss out of nothing.

The next day, Zhou Leng spent most of his money buying herbs. He first boiled some medicine and asked Su Chen to take it, then took a medicinal bath for half a day. Finally, Zhou Leng used his inner strength to regulate his meridians and used silver needles to let blood, and finally cleared the poison. Both of them were a little tired, so they rested early in the inn.

In the end, the Shadow Gate was unable to find out if there was any famous female swordsman named Zhou Leng in the world. Ten days later, Zhou Leng and her brother completely disappeared from the sight of the Shadow Gate's spies and hid themselves in the vast world.

On a moonless night, the bright full moon hung high in the sky, casting a silvery glow. Under the bright moonlight, two people quietly came to a mass grave in Shanxia Town, Sihai League.

Shanxia Town is where the Cui family made their fortune. In the mass grave at this moment, tombstones of people with the surname Cui are scattered everywhere.

It was a dark and windy night, and everything was quiet except for the breeze that blew gently, bringing a hint of coolness. The breeze seemed like a ghost passing by, which made people feel scared and added a bit of horror.

In this mass grave, on a tombstone with blurred writing, a young hand was groping on it, as if searching for something. After a while, the hand suddenly moved slightly, and then a tunnel hidden underground slowly appeared.

Another quarter of an hour later, the foul air in the tunnel had almost dissipated, and the two walked into the tunnel without hesitation. As they entered, the mechanism at the entrance of the tunnel quickly returned to its original state, covering everything up tightly, as if this place had never been discovered before.

The two people were Zhou Leng and Su Chen who came here.

After the siblings had a secret conversation in the inn, Su Chen told Zhou Leng this secret that only he knew. As a candidate for the next head of the Su family, although he knew this place, he had never been there.

The Su family has three secret hiding places. One is in the underground secret room of the Su Mansion, where people often go in and out. The second is in a cave in the deep mountains, where someone goes to check it out every year. Only the third place has never been visited by anyone, and it has only been passed down by word of mouth by the head of the Su family. Fortunately, the third place is secret enough and has not been accidentally visited by others.

The end of the tunnel was blocked by a thick stone wall, as if it was an insurmountable natural barrier. This would also make people who strayed into this place think that this was the end. Su Chen took a deep breath, and suddenly pushed his feet hard. His body soared into the air like an arrow, and he jumped lightly to the top of the stone wall.

With his feet firmly on the stone wall, Su Chen did not relax immediately. He quickly began to explore around. After careful exploration, he finally found a mechanism hidden in the cracks of the stone. With a light press, he heard a dull sound, and the stone wall slowly rose, revealing the passage behind.

Passing through the stone wall, Su Chen used a tinder to light the torch that had been prepared long ago. The faint flame flickered in the darkness, illuminating the surrounding environment.

The two of them looked carefully and found that there was only about ten square meters of space here, with several old wooden boxes placed on the ground.

Su Chen walked forward without hesitation and opened one of the wooden boxes. The wooden box was filled with ingots of silver, which shone brightly under the light of the torch.

Zhou Leng was playing with a silver ingot.

Su Chen seemed uninterested in the silver. He quickly took out a jade pendant from his pocket and walked straight to a part of the stone wall. There was a seemingly inconspicuous hole, and the jade pendant in Su Chen's hand just fit perfectly into the hole.

He carefully inserted the jade pendant into the hole, and heard another sound of mechanical mechanism. The stone wall began to move to the left, slowly revealing a gap that was only wide enough for one person to pass through. Su Chen squeezed in without hesitation, and Zhou Leng followed closely behind.

After entering the gap, the two of them suddenly saw a space of about 30 square meters in front of them. This space was filled with various wooden boxes, the number of which was jaw-dropping.

Zhou Leng couldn't hold back his curiosity, so he quickly stepped forward and opened a few boxes. The boxes were filled with gold, silver, jade, jadeite, agate and other precious items.

There is no doubt that this is where the capital of the Su family's comeback lies. These wealth are enough to make the Su family rise again and restore their former glory.

The two siblings stared at each other quietly, their eyes meeting without any ripples, as if the gold, silver and jewels around them did not exist. At this moment, what they thought about in their hearts was not the wealth, but the deep longing and attachment to their loved ones.

"Chen'er, let's not touch these things for now. Just take the silver outside." Zhou Leng's voice was soft but firm.

Su Chen nodded silently, indicating his agreement with his sister's decision. The two siblings passed through the crack in the stone. Su Chen slowly reached out and took the jade pendant out of the stone wall. As the jade pendant was taken out, the crack in the stone seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, slowly closing up, and finally returning to its original appearance.

Zhou Leng quickly stuffed the package with silver. When the package was full, the brother and sister looked at each other and then walked out of the underground passage together.

After exiting the underground tunnel, they did not leave in a hurry, but carefully restored the tombstone to its original old state, making it difficult to tell that it had been moved.

After everything was settled, the brother and sister took advantage of the cover of night and quietly left like ghosts, disappearing into the night.
