Upon learning this clue, the Great Flame Royal Family sent someone directly to Dafeng State City to inquire about related matters with Pei Yang.

Although Pei Yang was willing to help Su Changkong conceal the news, faced with pressure from important figures, he could only reveal what he knew and was allowed to say.

Su Changkong had once infiltrated the logistics department in Dafeng State City, worked as a blacksmith, and even killed a minor leader of the Black Lotus Sect.

Of course, regarding Hong Zhenxiang becoming a Monster Warrior and Su Changkong impersonating him to participate in the Sunset Blood Battle, Pei Yang chose not to mention those, knowing that revealing them would bring great trouble to his Pei Family. He selectively shared some of the things he knew.

He informed them that afterwards, Su Changkong set off alone to Central State and had not been in contact with him since.

As for ’Su Tailai’s’ past and origins, Pei Yang was not clear on those, only knowing that the other party was extremely monstrous, skilled in many Martial Arts, and making rapid progress.

Even so, it was enough to shock people!

At that time, Su Changkong was only about twenty years old; now, seven or eight years later, he had achieved impressive feats in Central State under the name ’Dao Wufeng’!

He chopped down the Five-Qi Grandmaster Qi Gang, chopped down the Life Extinguishing Association Elder Tan You, fought on equal terms with the Vice Master of the Association, Pang Shengwu, plundered the Demon Gate, and killed Superior Xuanming!

The actual age of the other party would not exceed thirty, yet he had reached such a level! Anyone could tell that this was a true monster of his generation!

Therefore, the royal family asked the Demon Suppressing Department, which was familiar with Su Changkong, to entice him by promising him Divine Seed fragments, or even a complete Divine Seed!

But Su Changkong was unmoved, knowing that if he joined the Yan Imperial Family’s camp, getting the Divine Seed would not be so easy, requiring a corresponding price to be paid.

The Yan Imperial Family had actually invited Su Changkong once before, offering a Life Creation Pill to invite the disguised, vein-broken Su Changkong to join their Flame Dragon Guard, which would have required control. Su Changkong refused, unbeknownst to them,

And indeed, Su Changkong was not so eager for the Divine Seed; he planned to rely on his own efforts to practice Divine Skills in Martial Arts, striving for perfection!

“I’m not interested, I only wish to cultivate in peace,” Su Changkong directly refused.

Lian Tianlu hurriedly advised, “Brother Blade, the chaotic times have already arrived; no one can stay out of it. With your skills, it’s impossible to remain unaffected. It’s better to prepare early so that you can seize opportunities in the chaos and soar to new heights!”

“We’ll talk about it when the time comes. I have matters to tend to and must leave now,” Su Changkong responded, unfazed and standing up to leave.

“Alas!”

Seeing this, Lian Tianlu sighed without trying to detain him, knowing that such a character cannot be forced once he has made up his mind.

Having refused the invitation of the Yan Imperial Family, Su Changkong set off. At his current level, no one could force him, and the Yan Imperial Family was not foolish; if Su Changkong wouldn’t join their camp, they could still opt for cooperation instead of pushing him into an opposing faction.

“Now everywhere is falling into chaos… I also need to make some preparations…”

Although he refused Lian Tianlu’s invitation, Su Changkong also knew from his words that all parties were mobilizing, and chaos had erupted everywhere.

What worried Su Changkong were the friends related to him who might suffer in these troubled times.

“I need to return to Black Iron Manor and check on the Giant Whale Gang.”

Su Changkong made up his mind.

He had stayed and practiced in many places along his journey.

There was no need to worry about the Pei Family in Dafeng State City, as they were loyal to the royal family, and in case of trouble, they would simply turn to the Great Flame Royal Family for help.

The Spirit Taoist Sect also had Su Changkong’s presence, and having cultivated so many Innate Martial Artists, there was no immediate concern.

Su Changkong was most worried about Black Iron Manor and the Giant Whale Gang.

Black Iron Manor was Su Changkong’s original home, and these blacksmiths lacked self-defensive capabilities. They had already encountered trouble before, and now with chaos starting everywhere, an accident could shatter Black Iron Manor!

The other concern was the Giant Whale Gang, which, in Ink Forest Prefecture City, was one of the top gangs; but they lacked strong backing or support, making them an easy target in tumultuous times.

In the past, the journey was long, and a round trip would take a lot of time, which wasn’t necessary.

But now, a trip to another country would only take a few days. After listening to Lian Tianlu’s words, Su Changkong feared that in the impending chaos, former brothers and friends might encounter difficulties.

With Su Changkong’s current strength and methods, helping them would be a mere trifle, and to put his mind at ease, he decided to make the trip.

After leaving Feiyun City, Su Changkong directly employed the White Crane Escapes and rode the white crane, heading for Dafeng State.

Su Changkong was planning to return to Black Iron Manor, it had been many years, and he wanted to see how it was faring now.

After half a day, Su Changkong reached Clearwater City near Black Iron Manor.

Su Changkong did not return to Black Iron Manor itself, since dealing with the Black Cavalry Gang and then leaving, a return would only bring unnecessary trouble to Black Iron Manor.

From outside of Black Iron Manor, Su Changkong released the Heaven Silkworm Silk to investigate the situation inside Black Iron Manor.

“Clang, clang, clang!”

Inside Black Iron Manor, a series of clanging metal sounds were heard non-stop, as usual, each blacksmith busily forging weapons.

Su Changkong saw familiar faces, Director Liu, Yang Chao, and others, who had aged significantly, and he also saw some unfamiliar faces, most likely joined later.
