WU DONG QIAN - KUN
Chapter 109: Song Qing

Yan City, the Thousand Gold Association.

“I told you, we have a better candidate now. Therefore, you do not need to participate in the Battle of the Heavenly Pool. ” In the large hall inside the association, Xia Zhilan looked at a young man dressed in blue as she said coldly.

“Zhilan, I know that you have some doubts about me, yet now the Celestial Pool Battle is about to begin, although I cannot be considered top-tier among the younger generation members in Yan City, either, I'm not someone who can be easily replaced. Now is not the time to rampage.” The feminine-looking young man's face sank slightly after hearing Xia Zhilan's words. But soon after, a smile appeared on his face as he glanced at the alluring figure of the woman in front of him from the corner of his eyes. Deep in his eyes was a tinge of *****.

Although he had not managed to find the trace of**** that the young man had hidden, Xia Zhilan still gave him a deathly gaze. He knew that this person had a dirty past. Therefore, he had never liked her from the beginning. In fact, to be honest, she felt disgusted by him.

“Song Qing, forget it this time. I'll explain this matter to your father.” Xuan Su, who was standing at the side, smiled gently as he said softly.

When she saw him speak, the corner of Song Qing's eyes twitched slightly. He lowered his head and looked at the jade-like thighs that were visible under Xuan Su's skirt. Instantly, a fire***** gushed in his stomach. However, he knew exactly how strong this person in front of him was, therefore he did not dare to look at him directly for fear that he would be noticed. Immediately, he turned his gaze and looked at the two old men sitting to one side.

“Oh Xuan Su, don't you think this matter was dealt with too rashly? After all, didn't we agree to let Song Qing fill the last place? How can we randomly find other people to create numbers? If that person lost his duel during “Duel Celestial Pool”, it would be very difficult to explain.” One of the two old men, who were both wearing yellow robes, glanced at Song Qing before he placed the teacup in his hand as he smiled and directed these words at Xuan Su.

“How about we let Song Qing participate. After all, everyone knew how capable he was. ” Another man smiled as he said.

Smiling slightly, Xuan Su replied: “Manager, the reason why we changed our line-up is not for personal reasons. This duel is very important, so all we did was to secure our victory. If we can increase our chances of victory, I will not hesitate to replace even Zhilan with a better candidate. ”

The meaning behind his words is clear. The reason why they replaced Song Qing was not because they were prejudiced against him, but rather because they had better candidates.

When they heard these words, the two old men slightly furrowed their brows. Clearly, they were not convinced by his argument. They exchanged glances before suddenly laughing and speaking: “Since Manger Su has said so, then it seems like your new candidate is indeed quite skilled. Since these two old men are quite free now, how about we wait here for a while to observe how exactly the new candidate is superior to Song Qing? ”

“However, Manager Su, a lot of things are at stake. If the new candidate is not as good as you say, please return to the original lineup. We don't want our Thousand Gold Association to lose to the Blood Wolf Guild because of some minor personal matter. ”

“Hehe, I want to know who is the person that this Su Manager values so much.” A sinister glint flashed in Song Qing's eyes as he immediately chuckled before withdrawing and sitting to one side.

When he saw the actions of the three, Xuan Su's black brows furrowed gently. Immediately after, he elegantly raised his teacup, a calm expression on his face. On one hand, a glint of worry appeared in Zhilan's beautiful eyes. Based on their expressions, these people were apparently planning to wait for Lin Dong's arrival and test his abilities. If Lin Dong's performance wasn't excited, they would probably use it as an excuse to get rid of him.

Although she was a little worried, Xia Zhilan had no other choice. After all, these two old men were considered as elders in the Thousand Gold Association and had great influence in the association. Therefore, if the elders managed to find any weaknesses today, Song Qing's removal from the team would probably be impossible.

"* Sigh*, we can only hope that person will be a little more reliable ..." As she gently sighed in her heart, Xia Zhilan had no choice but to sit down and wait for Lin Dong's arrival.

They don't have to wait long. About half an hour later, a guard came to report.

…

When Lin Dong walked into that large hall, he immediately felt a strange atmosphere. As he scanned his surroundings, he first looked at Xuan Su and Xia Zhilan before his gaze paused on the trio beside them.

Among the three, two were old men while the other looked to be around twenty years old. Dressed in blue, the face of the younger man looked somewhat feminine yet somewhat sinister. At this moment, a cold glint flashed across the latter's eyes, like a deadly snake, he stared straight at Lin Dong.

Upon seeing this situation, Lin Dong started to feel a little troubled ...

“Manager Su Su Su, is this the so-called better candidate? She doesn't look special.” The two old men casually glanced at Lin Dong as they uttered it indifferently.

"Lin Dong, both of them are managers of the Thousand Gold Association while this man is the young master of the Yan City Song Family, Song Qing." Xuan Su's jade-like hands gently swayed as he smiled and introduced them.

"Song Qing ..."

When he heard this name, Lin Dong finally understood why that person was looking at him so viciously. It was because he was the unlucky bastard that Lin Dong replaced ...

“My name is Song Qing, member of Yan City Song Family. My friend, you look unfamiliar, I guess you are not from Yan City, right? ” Song Qing stood up and approached Lin Dong while clasping his hands together and smiling.

Just as a smile appeared on Song Qing's face, without waiting for Lin Dong's reply, a soft yet cold mosquito voice immediately echoed in Lin Dong's ears: "I don't care where you're from, I don't care where you're from, but the young master here will give you some kind of advice. You should be wise and tell Manager Su that you will hand over your place, I will make sure that you are generously compensated. Or else, the next time you handle affairs in Yan City, you better be careful … "

As he stared at the evil young face in front of him, Lin Dong remained calm. Turning to look at Xuan Su, he asked: "Manager Su, when are we going?"

"Young man, it's no simple matter to represent our Thousand Gold Association ..." One of the old men scoffed in an ice-cold voice.

“Manager Su, I know that this matter is very important to the Thousand Gold Association so all my actions are for the good of the association. If this man is indeed better than me as you claim, then I will automatically give up. ” Song Qing turned around and faced Xuan Su as she said respectfully. Meanwhile the horrifying expression on his face instantly disappeared.

"What do you plan to do?" Xia Zhilan furrowed her brows as she asked.

“Hehe, there is no point in debating who the better candidate is. How about they exchange blows to find out who's better? ” Another old man sipped his hot tea while smiling and saying.

"You!"

When he heard that these people were planning to make a move, Zhilan's eyebrows slightly raised. On one side, Xuan Su's brows also fused slightly. Suddenly, her beautiful eyes turned towards Lin Dong. Since Lin Dong was the First Seal Symbol Master, he might have to match Song Qing, who was at the Early Heavenly Yuan Stage. However, he was worried that there would be an accident…

"It's up to Manager Su." As she glanced at her beautiful eyes, Lin Dong calmly said.

“Then, let's have a friendly duel. Remember not to go too far.” After witnessing this situation, Xuan Su was forced to nod his head as he declared.

"explosion!"

Just as Xuan Su's words landed, a powerful Yuan Power almost instantly exploded from Song Qing's body. Immediately, that powerful punch flashed towards Lin Dong's chest. His attack was clearly meant to make the latter off guard.

“No shame!” When she saw Song Qing's actions, Xia Zhilan's face instantly turned a little cold.

However, as he faced Song Qing's sudden and ferocious attack, Lin Dong's facial expression did not change. His body did not move as he allowed the powerful attack to continue.

“Bang!”

Just as Song Qing's fist was half an inch away from Lin Dong, the powerful punch suddenly stopped as a deep voice echoed. It seemed like a formless wall was protecting Lin Dong.

"Mental Energy ?!"

After witnessing this scene, Song Qing was slightly surprised. Immediately, a cold expression appeared on his face as an even stronger Yuan Power then gushed forward!

“Central Stage of Heavenly Yuan?!”

When they sensed the powerful waves emerging from Song Qing, Xuan Su and Xia Zhilan's expressions changed slightly. They never expected that this Song Qing had broken through to the Heavenly Yuan Middle Stage!

The sudden surge in Yuan Power allowed Song Qing's punch to directly destroy Lin Dong's Mental Energy barrier. Immediately, a cold glint flashed across Song Qing's arm as a sharp blade quietly slipped in his palm and ruthlessly directed down Lin Dong's throat.

Lin Dong's face was expressionless as he stared at the hideous expression on Song Qing's face while the latter attacked. Lin Dong had no intention of wasting time with his opponent. Suddenly, he took a step forward as an unusually strong Mental Energy gushed out from his Niwan Palace. Like a tidal wave, it ruthlessly struck Song Qing's Yuan Power-clothed body.

"explosion!"

Thanks to Lin Dong's terrifying Mental Energy attack, the Yuan Power defending Song Qing's body was instantly shattered as intense pain surfaced within his head. Meanwhile, in front of the puzzled gazes of Xuan Su, Zhilan and the others, his body immediately flew backwards, as if he had been struck by a giant sledgehammer, before he finally crashed into the wall within the gigantic hall. As his tattered figure fell to the ground, he immediately vomited fresh blood.

Lin Dong's steps were practically as fast as lightning. In fact, one could argue that he did not even move. After all, from start to finish, all Lin Dong did was take a step forward!

However, the Mental Energy attack that accompanied that one step, was able to directly finish off Song Qing, who was at the Heavenly Yuan Middle Stage!

A clear victory.

As she looked at the young man in the large hall, Xia Zhilan's beautiful eyes shone as she softly exclaimed: "This person does indeed have some ability."
