Chapter 738 Su Xuan's Help - I Became the Rich Second-Generation Villain

The black-clad man, standing about ten feet away from the young girl, could almost feel the tangible essence of her murderous intent. Even though he knew the girl's killing intent wasn't directed at him, the black-clad man felt a chill run down his spine. Though the girl's cultivation wasn't nearly as advanced as his, the sheer oppressive aura she exuded was terrifying in its own right. This strength emanated from the girl's pure supreme bloodline. A supreme bloodline indicated that this girl had the potential to become a powerhouse of the sixtieth level in the Saint Realm. The sixtieth level of the Saint Realm was the level of the ancestor who founded the Jiang family. Because of this, the girl held the high hopes of her clan. And she rose to meet them, advancing rapidly after awakening her supreme bloodline, now reaching the nineteenth level of the Saint Realm. Among the younger generation of the nine great families of the Supreme Mansion, hardly anyone could match her. "Go and find three experts in the clan beyond the twentieth level of the Saint Realm. I need to make a trip to the Eastern Region," the girl commanded coldly. The black-clad man, understanding her intention, nonetheless tried to advise against it, saying: "Young Master, if you intend to destroy the Wang family, it would be wise to delay. Currently, Su Xuan is facing quite the predicament in Qingzhou Prefecture." "What trouble is Su Xuan facing?" the girl asked. The black-clad man relayed the events surrounding Su Xuan in the Qingzhou Prefecture to the girl. Being sharp, the girl quickly grasped the difficulties Su Xuan was facing. "Gather ten experts ranging from the twentieth to twenty-ninth levels of the Saint Realm immediately. I'm heading to Qingzhou Prefecture," she decided, adjusting her original plan. Upon hearing this, the black-clad man couldn't help but be taken aback. With ten experts of the Saint Realm between the twentieth and twenty-ninth levels, they could sweep through the entire Qingzhou Prefecture effortlessly. Elsewhere. Upon learning that Su Xuan was in Qingzhou Prefecture, Wang Haoran left the Eastern Region and hurried to Qingzhou Prefecture as fast as possible. Having claimed the top spot in the martial contest in Qingzhou Prefecture, Su Xuan was now a hot topic. Locating him was an easy task. Currently residing with the faction that had given him the entry ticket for the martial contest, Su Xuan was with the weakest among the four major powers of Qingzhou Prefecture. Lacking prominent young talents, this faction had no choice but to let Su Xuan take the contest ticket. Primarily, the faction's leader foresaw Su Xuan's potential and decided to invest in him. Should Su Xuan grow, the faction’s future would be secured—at the very least, preventing them from being devoured by the other three factions. Clearly, the faction leader had a keen eye. Betting on the protagonist typically guaranteed enormous benefits in the future. However, with an overwhelmingly powerful villain present, Su Xuan stood little chance of thriving. Wang Haoran approached the vicinity of Su Xuan's residence, choosing a secluded spot, and deliberately revealed a trace of his aura. Given Su Xuan's current level of cultivation, he would be unaware of it. Only Gu Hong Yi could detect it. Waiting for a short while, Wang Haoran soon spotted a red streak of light approaching. "Emperor, it really is you!" Gu Hong Yi's figure materialized, her face alight with joy, "What brings you here?" Wang Haoran would never admit he was there to deal with Su Xuan, so he said, "I heard about Su Xuan's situation in Qingzhou Prefecture. I'm worried the other three factions might target Su Xuan, involving you and putting you in harm's way, so I came to check." "Thank you, Emperor, for your concern," Gu Hong Yi said, touched. She lamented her ethereal state, unable to even offer a hug. "You are my consort. How could I possibly ignore your troubles?" Wang Haoran remarked. "Thank you for worrying, but even without your visit, there might not be any issues," Gu Hong Yi smiled. "Oh, how so?" Wang Haoran inquired smoothly. Gu Hong Yi explained, "Su Xuan has a little girlfriend from the Jiang family, one of the nine families of the Supreme Mansion in the Central Region. This little girlfriend of Su Xuan had someone secretly protecting him, but now that person has left. If I'm not mistaken, they're reporting back to her." "Once Su Xuan's little girlfriend learns about this, she'll surely bring people over to his aid." Wang Haoran nodded in understanding, realizing that Su Xuan's aid came from the female lead. "And what's the name of Su Xuan's little girlfriend?" Wang Haoran asked. "Jiang Qing Kui," Gu Hong Yi replied. "Jiang Qing Kui," Wang Haoran murmured, committing the name of his future consort to memory. Familiar with Su Xuan's situation, Wang Haoran knew Su Xuan hadn't even been intimate with his earliest acquaintance, Xu Qing Tong, so Jiang Qing Kui must have remained untouched. Wang Haoran had no objections to this. "With Jiang Qing Kui sorting out Su Xuan's issues, that's excellent," Wang Haoran feigned happiness, then noticed Gu Hong Yi's slightly dim silhouette, saying, "What have you done to weaken your divine soul once again?" "During the martial contest, Su Xuan's cultivation was slightly lacking, so I used my soul power to significantly enhance his abilities," Gu Hong Yi explained. "Sigh, Su Xuan is truly lucky to have you as a mentor," Wang Haoran commented with a hint of lament, then added, "Rest in my Immortal Emperor's Tower for a while; seeing your weakened soul pains me." "Thank you, Emperor," Gu Hong Yi replied joyfully, without opposition. Previously, she had entered to nurture her weakened soul, and within the tower, the recovery rate was much faster than outside. After exchanging a few more words, Wang Haoran absorbed Gu Hong Yi into the Heavenly Tower. A mischievous grin crept onto Wang Haoran's lips. His intention in bringing Gu Hong Yi into the Heavenly Tower was not only to help her restore her soul but also to remove her temporarily from Su Xuan's side. For only through this could Wang Haoran better implement his plan. If Su Xuan entered the Spirit Tower, his battle prowess would likely rise significantly. Wang Haoran surely needed to prevent this. Naturally, Wang Haoran didn't intend to directly stop Su Xuan. On the front line, the three factions of Qingzhou Prefecture posed substantial opposition, rendering Su Xuan's efforts fruitless. Wang Haoran's task was to thwart Su Xuan's allies, stopping the assistance meant for him. Gu Hong Yi was one of them, and the other was Jiang Qing Kui from the Jiang family. The Spirit Tower wouldn't open for another two days. This timeline was certainly accommodating. Typically, the protagonist's aides arrive at crucial moments to resolve troubles. Jiang Qing Kui would arrive in Qingzhou Prefecture to solve Su Xuan's problems exactly two days later, just when Su Xuan was about to enter the Spirit Tower. That meant Wang Haoran had two days to prevent Jiang Qing Kui from arriving in time. Naturally, Wang Haoran wasn't foolish enough to use force; though force might succeed, it would be too laborious. The vastness of the Central Region meant the fastest way from Supreme Mansion was through the teleportation circles connecting the nine prefectures. Qingzhou Prefecture had three teleportation circles, and only one linked to the Supreme Mansion. To obstruct Jiang Qing Kui from coming to Su Xuan's aid, the easiest and most effective method would be to sabotage the teleportation circle. (End of Chapter)
