Chapter 37
Daliang has always been in chaos, and Su Chen doesn't know why.

Big factions and secret sects want Daliang to fall, and now even the neighboring country Da Zhou is trying to get involved, even though the two countries have been living in peace for 300 years.

At the door of the funeral shop, Su Chen pondered for a while, but decided not to get involved. He turned and rushed towards another funeral home.

soon.

Su Chen was kicked out.

"Three hundred taels of silver, and you want to be buried in the suburbs, and you want a grand funeral. What are you thinking? The land in the suburbs is very expensive, and the worst grave costs one thousand taels of silver..."

The man working at the funeral shop was full of sarcasm and ridicule, his contempt for the poor almost written on his face.

"Is it so expensive?"

Three hundred taels is already a lot.

This was the money Su Chen had saved over the past three years from treating the palace maids and eunuchs. He didn't expect that he couldn't even afford a proper cemetery.

Just as Su Chen was about to return to the palace to steal two treasures to sell, he saw a black tiger mark in the corner of the imperial city street, and a black lotus next to it...

The black tiger mark represents the leader of the sect, and the black lotus represents the saint.

This is a person from the sect leader's faction, who is preparing to connect with the Black Lotus Saint. His rank is not low, and he is at least a purple-robed guardian.

"Heiyuan has a leader and a saint. The leader is of the first rank, in charge of 3,000 demons and ghosts, and has three second-rank purple-robed guardians under him. The saint is of the peak second rank, in charge of many secret agents, and has three third-rank black-robed messengers under him..."

"Three years ago, the two major factions in the martial arts world disappeared, and the Black Abyss was also involved. The vitality was severely damaged. How could there be anyone who dared to stay in the palace, and he was at the level of a Purple Envoy?"

It's just a second-grade one. Su Chen is not afraid. He has just dealt with a master at the peak of the second-grade Nu Gang realm.

I have nothing to do when I am free.

It's also good to go and get some free money.

The blame for the disturbance in the palace must be put on the Black Lotus Saint, and no one must know that this matter has anything to do with him, Su Chen.

The tree beard surges.

Su Chen turned into the appearance of Black Lotus, wearing an inky black robe, with deep eyes, about forty years old, with a bamboo and wooden token hanging from his waist. He followed the instructions and rushed to a shop.

This was the perfume and soap shop where Su Chen killed the Black Envoy, replaced Huang Ba's identity, and returned to the palace three years ago.

"This is actually the Black Abyss stronghold?"

Su Chen was welcomed in.

The innermost hall.

There are three people.

The leader was dressed in purple and had a beard. The breath from his mouth and nose was like a white thread when he breathed in and out. He was a second-grade master of the internal organs realm.

Next to him, there was a girl of about seventeen or eighteen sitting upright, wearing a golden hairpin on her head, exuding a noble air. It was the Princess Yunyang.

As for the last person.

He has a Shura ghost mask on his face and is a third-rank leader of demons and ghosts. For some reason, he can sit opposite the second-rank purple-robed guardian.

"Su Han, your brother has betrayed the sect, which is an unforgivable crime, but the leader has forgiven the past and not only provided you with training, but also given you this opportunity. Are you willing?"

"For the sake of the greater good, we must live up to our mission! Daliang should have died long ago."

"very good."

"Then you can enter the palace."

These three people seemed to be plotting something. Su Chen only heard a few words. The name Su Han sounded vaguely familiar, but Su Chen couldn't remember it.

When Su Chen walked into the inner hall, the three of them fell silent instantly. Princess Yunyang lowered her head humbly in front of Su Chen, but the purple-robed guardian was furious.

"Heilian, what are you crazy about?"

"Do you know that the leader is still recovering in the palace? You killed the First Red Robe like a madman and caused a huge commotion. Do you want all the brothers in the sect to be wiped out by the Daliang soldiers?"

In this regard.

Su Chen was indifferent. He sat at the top seat without saying a word. He looked at the three people and then sneered.

"What does it have to do with me?"

"hehe."

"This old man didn't die three years ago, and he is still recuperating in the deep palace like me? All the demons and ghosts were killed, and it has nothing to do with me..."

After saying that, Su Chen looked at Princess Yunyang and said.

"Bring me three thousand taels of silver."

Princess Yunyang trotted along, nodded her head and quickly ran into the front hall to get three silver notes worth one thousand taels.

The leader and the saint are at odds with each other, and their conflicts are like fire and water. This is something known to everyone in the sect. It would be a huge problem if he were to face a purple-robed guardian and listen attentively.

What Su Chen didn't expect was that the leader was still alive. He thought that the dozen or so first-rank junior masters who followed Zhang Gui into the palace three years ago had all died.

"you!"

The purple-robed guardian was full of anger, but he didn't dare to say much, and then said in a stiff tone, "The leader has ordered."

"The Black Abyss has suffered a great disaster, and the brothers in the sect should unite as one. Since the saint is still alive, please go to the Purple Sun Palace to meet him. There is an important matter to discuss in detail, which is related to the "holy land"..."

Ziyang Palace is a deserted cold palace.

As for the holy land.

Su Chen remembered that there were legends that in the Black Abyss Holy Land, there were countless martial arts manuals, magic weapons, precious medicines, and elixirs, as well as heavenly soldiers and generals. Most importantly, there was an ancestor of the Black Abyss sleeping inside...

Once the ancestor wakes up, he can stir up the world like a toy with just one hand...

"Ah!"

"It depends on whether I am free or not."

Su Chen sneered, took the three thousand taels of silver, and left.

This style is exactly the same as that of the Black Abyss Saint.

Turned his head.

Su Chen changed into a different appearance, went into the funeral hall, exchanged the banknotes in his hand for silver, and bought the cemetery prepared for Chen Ge on the outskirts of the city.

late at night.

The snowstorm gradually subsided.

Su Chen returned to the palace and transformed himself into Xu Ge. He went into the pharmacy, dressed in mourning, and continued to keep vigil over Old Chen's body, burning paper money. He did not look like the powerful assassin who was causing unrest in the palace.

Outside the pharmacy.

Hundreds of secret guards and imperial guards patrolled the area, knocking on doors one by one to search for any assassins who might be hiding.

"Get off."

"Imperial Guards are doing their job, checking for assassins."

The imperial guards rushed over like wolves and tigers, making a mess of the mourning hall. They even lifted up the coffin lid and checked Chen Ge's remains.

"General, please don't disturb the deceased..."

Su Chen rushed forward to try to block some of the attacks, but was kicked away by the fierce imperial guards, with a trickle of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.

"What bad luck! He is such a dead old eunuch!"

"Huh? This is..."

"Hehe, I didn't expect there would be an unexpected surprise."

The imperial guards smashed the jar in the coffin, with surprise on their faces, and divided the three hundred taels of silver in the jar right in front of Su Chen.

"Master Xu, please be patient..."

At this time, the young eunuch Ji Yun hurried over, stopped Su Chen who was about to get angry, protected him in front of him, and smiled ingratiatingly to the imperial guards.

"My dear gentlemen, I will treat this as a gift to you. Are there any assassins here? Why should I be tainted with bad luck here..."

The imperial guards left.

Ji Yun looked at the messy mourning hall, then looked at Su Chen who was quite aggrieved, and couldn't help but persuade him.

"Master Xu, we are just little eunuchs with no skills and no backing. We can't stand up to these imperial guards. Old Chen is gone, but you still have to live..."

"In the palace, it's better to suffer some loss than to lose your life..."

"The manager has urged us to hand over Elder Chen's body..."

In this regard.

Su Chen remained stubborn and unmoved.

"We agreed to keep vigil for Elder Chen for three days, and that's three days!"

"Not a day less."

"Go ahead, I'll talk to the steward."

Ji Yun sighed and left.

Su Chen was left alone in the mourning hall of the pharmacy, cleaning up the mess on the floor.

the other side.

Ji Yun came out of the pharmacy and trotted to the front of the imperial guards. His expression changed in an instant, and he turned to look at the pharmacy with a sneer.

"Without Old Chen to protect you, you are a little eunuch in black, and you dare to leak money, so don't blame me."

Then he rubbed his hands excitedly.

"am I right."

"Chen Ge is dead. I saw with my own eyes that there were three hundred taels of silver in the coffin. I provided this information, so you must give me at least thirty taels..."
