Chapter 1013 Originating from Hunter's Shadow
"Huo Wuzun from the Central Plains? The Huo Wuzun who has a good relationship with the Shi family?"
Chen Xuan frowned and asked.
"It seems Mr. Chen also knows about the relationship between Huo Wuzun of the Central Plains and the Shi family, so I won't elaborate. To be frank, it is indeed him. That Huo Wuzun should be coming for you."
Yin Tianlu said worriedly.
Chen Xuan nodded slightly, "It seems Uncle Su was right, Huo Wuzun has really come."
"Mr. Chen, Mr. Su must have told you about Huo Wuzun's strength. You need to think of a countermeasure quickly!"
Yin Tianlu said nervously.
His nervousness was due to two reasons: firstly, the strength of Jiangnan Province had finally risen, and losing another Martial Dao Venerable would be an irreparable loss for Jiangnan Province.
Secondly, Yin Tianlu genuinely cared about Chen Xuan. Through their interactions, Yin Tianlu had discovered that Chen Xuan was a person of great loyalty and righteousness, and treated those around him very well.
Chen Xuan smiled faintly, "Alliance Leader Yin, please rest assured, I have my own plan for this matter."
Yin Tianlu was slightly stunned by this statement, "But..."
Although Chen Xuan had Mo Xiaoxue and Xue Chuan, two Martial Dao Venerables, their levels were completely different. Chen Xuan seemed too arrogant.
After a few more simple words, Chen Xuan hung up the phone. Then, he called Gu Lang again.
"Brother Xuan, is something wrong?"
"There's a mission!"
"Someone from Hunter's Shadow has arrived in the provincial capital. They might make a move against me tonight, so I want you to flex your muscles with me."
Chen Xuan said with a faint smile, not at all like he was discussing a matter of life and death, but rather like he was going to swat a fly.
"Someone from Hunter's Shadow? Alright, I'd love to meet them."
Gu Lang's eyes sharpened, a hint of excitement appearing. He immediately nodded, "Then I'll see you tonight."
Chen Xuan smiled and hung up the phone.
Logically, Xue Chuan and Mo Xiaoxue were both stronger than Gu Lang, but Chen Xuan chose Gu Lang, which was naturally for a reason.
Although Gu Lang's cultivation level was not as high as theirs, he possessed excellent military素质 and strong execution, coupled with years of cooperation that had forged a tacit understanding far beyond that of others.
More importantly, Gu Lang was a master of sniping, capable of suppressing enemies from a distance.
Of course, there was another important reason: that guy was from Hunter's Shadow. His surname was Huo, which was similar to an old acquaintance. If it were that old acquaintance, he would naturally be welcomed warmly.
With this thought, a cold glint flashed in Chen Xuan's eyes.
The bloody scene flashed through his mind.
In the study of the Su family in the provincial capital.
"Dad, since you know that guy is so dangerous, why are you letting Chen Xuan go alone? I don't care, you must find an expert from the Qintianjian to help Chen Xuan!"
Su Yunxi said angrily to Su Gan, disregarding her appearance as she placed her hands on the table and on her tiptoes, yelling at Su Gan.
"Yunxi, you know the Qintianjian is not allowed to interfere in private disputes."
Su Gan said helplessly, "Besides, the Qintianjian is not our family's subordinate, how can I ask them to go just like that?"
Looking at Su Yunxi's demeanor, Su Gan also felt a pang of jealousy. All daughters are their fathers' little padded jackets, but his little padded jacket seemed to be turning her elbows outwards.
"If you can't even help with this little thing, then what's the point of being in the Qintianjian? You might as well resign immediately!" Su Yunxi said with dissatisfaction.
These words were not spoken in a moment of impulse, but out of years of accumulated grievances.
Su Gan was often away on business trips, and the family of three rarely gathered. Once, Su Yunxi fell ill, and saw her mother, Jiang Biyun, staying by her side. During that severe illness, which lasted three days, Jiang Biyun lost twenty pounds.
At that time, she cried and begged her father to come back. However, Jiang Biyun kept comforting Su Yunxi, saying that her father's work was to protect the country.
But if one couldn't protect their own small family, couldn't protect their own relatives, how could they protect the country?
It couldn't be like in the news, where the father protected the country, but the son died from bullying.
Seeing the dissatisfaction in Su Yunxi's eyes, Su Gan sighed and, going against his principles, compromised, "Alright, I'll use my connections..."
So, Su Gan made a phone call, and soon a middle-aged man knocked on the door and entered.
This was a middle-aged man in his thirties, with a reserved aura, a square face, and dressed in a martial arts uniform. He exuded an air of profound mystery at first glance.
As soon as he entered, the middle-aged man smiled and said, "Mr. Su, leave this small matter to me. Protecting your son-in-law is my responsibility."
"Kang Wuzun, then I'll trouble you with this. I owe you a favor this time, so feel free to ask if you need my help in the future."
Su Gan cupped his hands and thanked him profusely.
This person was named Kang Guohua, a top-tier Grade 4 Martial Dao Venerable, an elite expert, far superior to ordinary Grade 4 Martial Dao Venerables.
Su Gan did not dare to put on airs with such an expert.
"Mr. Su, you are too kind!"
Kang Guohua laughed heartily at this. After speaking, he turned and left.
Su Gan looked at Su Yunxi and shrugged, "My dear daughter, is this acceptable now?"
"Dad, you're the best! Thank you!" Su Yunxi was relieved by this.
"I hope Chen Xuan doesn't disappoint me."
Su Gan's eyes narrowed as he said faintly.
...
At seven o'clock in the evening, Chen Xuan had a simple meal and got up, preparing to go out.
But at this moment, Mo Xiaoxue walked over.
"What is it, Xiaoxue?" Chen Xuan looked at Mo Xiaoxue.
"Chen Xuan, I'll go with you." Mo Xiaoxue's expression was extremely serious.
"Ah? You're going with me? No need, that guy is a Grade 3 Martial Dao Venerable, his strength is extraordinary."
"That guy is from Hunter's Shadow, I know their methods better."
Mo Xiaoxue said something shocking.
Chen Xuan was stunned, he looked Mo Xiaoxue up and down, and asked in surprise, "Xiaoxue, are you from Hunter's Shadow?"
Mo Xiaoxue nodded noncommittally.
Chen Xuan was greatly surprised, he hadn't expected Mo Xiaoxue to be from Hunter's Shadow.
"I'll go with you, I can definitely help you."
"But if you go, who will protect Yunxi?" Chen Xuan clearly had no intention of letting Mo Xiaoxue go.
"I've already asked Xue Chuan to come." As she spoke, Mo Xiaoxue glanced at Xue Chuan who was walking in from outside.
"Brother Xuan!" Xue Chuan greeted with a smile.
Chen Xuan: "..."
It turned out that Mo Xiaoxue had already anticipated his words and had asked Xue Chuan to come.
"Can I go now?" Mo Xiaoxue said expectantly.
Chen Xuan shook his head, his expression very serious, "Xiaoxue, you should know that the villa is our base camp, and Yunxi is the most important. What if something happens to Yunxi?"
There was another reason for him to say this: what if that woman Shi Menglu used a trick to lure the tiger away from its lair?
Although Su Gan was guarding the house, he was still uneasy without Mo Xiaoxue and Xue Chuan present.
