Void Nether Stone, First Clue Revealed

Perhaps it was because Ling Tianhe's heart was completely consumed by fear at that moment.

Su Chen had actually enslaved the other party in one go.

Instantly, Su Chen sensed that he could control Ling Tianhe's life and death at any time.

With a single thought, he could destroy the other party's consciousness and kill him.

At this moment, Ling Tianhe also sensed that his life was completely under Su Chen's control.

His eyes dimmed.

He had been determined to become the master of the Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower and had schemed against Su Chen.

He never expected that in the end, he himself would have his life and death controlled by Su Chen, leading to such a pathetic outcome.

It was somewhat desolate.

"My father's death should have nothing to do with you, which is why you've been able to live until now."

"I had planned to lie low for a while and wait for them to make a move, but those people never did, so I decided not to wait any longer. I killed Song Yuan to see if I could draw something out."

"I never expected that killing Song Yuan would lead to Lei Ao. Tell me, was Lei Ao's sole purpose in coming here the mines?"

Su Chen returned to his seat and spoke.

Hearing Su Chen's words.

Ling Tianhe snapped back to reality.

To be honest.

When Su Chen had previously said that he was the one who killed Song Yuan.

He had only been surprised at the time and hadn't thought much of it.

Now, he was horrified.

When Su Chen had made his move earlier, the chill emanating from his palm was terrifying beyond his imagination and comprehension.

The current Su Chen was completely different from the Su Chen in his memory.

He was a very terrifying person.

He adjusted his mindset and said, "Your subordinate previously thought Lei Ao was here for the mines, but when he learned I was injured, he suddenly left. This is suspicious. He must have another purpose."

"However, your subordinate cannot figure out what that specific purpose is."

"If you can't figure it out, then go and interact with Lei Ao again. See what he's really trying to do."

"Also, before my father was assassinated, were there no signs at all?"

Su Chen asked.

If the information from the black market was correct, then Su Mengbai must have exhibited some strange behavior beforehand.

Ling Tianhe had followed his cheap father for many years and should have noticed something.

"Your subordinate really didn't pay attention to that?"

Ling Tianhe began to recall, but he couldn't think of anything.

Tomorrow, I will go to the main headquarters of the Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower and formally take over as the Tower Lord!

"You will compile all of my father's recent whereabouts and the people he contacted, and study them carefully to see if you can find anything."

Su Chen commanded.

He wanted Ling Tianhe to find clues from this information.

"Also, identify those among the seventeen stewards who harbor ill intentions and eliminate them all."

"I don't want anyone else's voice in the Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower besides mine!"

"Your two confidantes need to be managed properly. If you can't manage them, they will also be eliminated."

Su Chen said, his voice sounding somewhat cold.

"Yes, your subordinate understands!"

Ling Tianhe quickly replied.

His heart turned cold. The楼主 was planning a major purge of the Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower.

At this moment, he suddenly felt fortunate.

Fortunate that he had been subdued by Su Chen and still had some value. Otherwise, he would probably have been purged directly.

"Forum owner, when you formally take over the position, those people in the shadows might target you!"

Ling Tianhe said worriedly.

"You mean they will make a move against me? I'm eager for them to make a move, so I don't have to waste time looking for them."

Su Chen said coldly.

Then he stood up and walked towards the outside.

"Keep a close eye on the assassins at Lei Ao's mansion. If they disappear, you don't need to see me again."

Su Chen's voice echoed in Ling Tianhe's mind.

The voice disappeared.

Su Chen's figure also quietly departed.

After Su Chen left, Ling Tianhe couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief; Su Chen put too much pressure on him.

He slumped into his seat, feeling a chill run down his spine.

Suddenly, his expression changed.

Then, as if he had thought of something, his face lit up with joy.

Su Chen had attacked him just now.

He had intended to resist with all his might, but he was pinned down by a powerful pressure, unable to move.

There was definitely a powerful expert helping Su Chen.

With such a master by his side, combined with Su Chen's demonstrated strength and intellect, the Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower would only be Su Chen's starting point.

Following someone like him would absolutely lead to great success. His future would definitely not be limited to just being the Deputy Sect Master of the Qingcheng Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower.

Moreover, he had followed his father before, so following him now wouldn't carry as much mental burden.

Thinking of this.

Ling Tianhe suddenly felt a sense of clarity.

At this moment.

In a manor within the city.

The manor was brightly lit, filled with music and dancing.

An elder dressed in luxurious robes was entertaining two guests.

One of these two was an elder dressed in a black robe.

The elder's face was withered, and his hands were like dead wood, but his eyes occasionally flashed with sharp light.

The other was a young man in a white robe, who appeared somewhat distinguished.

The three were drinking and chatting.

At this time, Lei Ao, who had previously gone to see Ling Tianhe, walked out from behind.

He approached the elder in the ornate robe and whispered something in his ear.

Immediately, the elder in the ornate robe's expression stiffened, and he waved his hand, saying, "You all may leave for now!"

The singing girls and musicians who were dancing all rose and took their leave.

The hall quickly became quiet.

"Young Master Qin, Elder Mo, something has happened. Lei Ao went to see Ling Tianhe just now and discovered that Ling Tianhe was injured. Someone attacked Ling Tianhe."

The elder in the ornate robe said to the two, his tone carrying a hint of respect.

The elder in the ornate robe was the Lei Family's Second Master, Lei Mo, and also one of the two Deputy Hall Masters of the Lei Hall. His strength was at the late Innate stage.

The fact that he spoke with respect indicated that the identities of these two were not simple.

"Someone attacked Ling Tianhe?"

The young man called Young Master Qin frowned slightly, his gaze shifting to the black-robed elder.

"I didn't make a move. It must have been someone else."

"However, we should quickly seize that mine and extract the Void Nether Stones from its depths. Only then can we accelerate the maturation of the Fifth-grade Lotus Platform."

The elder said.

The Fifth-grade Lotus Platform did exist, and their main reason for wanting to seize the Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower's mine was for the Void Nether Stones deep within it.

Those were stones that could catalyze the maturation of the Fifth-grade Lotus Platform.

As for why they sought out Ling Tianhe, it was primarily because they believed Ling Tianhe was currently in charge of the Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower, with Su Chen merely being a puppet.

Hearing the elder's words, the young man's eyes narrowed, as if in thought.

"Young Master Qin, with our strength, plus the Lei Hall, it's just the Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower. If we openly demand the mine, can they refuse?"

The elder added.

Lei Mo, standing beside them, had remained silent, but his eyes flickered with worry.

Coercing the Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower openly presented problems.

Behind Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower stood Zitan Palace.

If Lei Hall were to step forward and pressure Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower at this moment, people would suspect Lei Hall of killing Su Mengbai.

Once the people from Zitan Palace arrived, they would definitely cause trouble for Lei Hall.

Zitan Palace was one of the Five Great Demonic Sects of the Outer Regions.

Lei Hall couldn't afford to offend them.
