Shen Wuming trusted Su Xin greatly, but there was no emotion involved—only absolutely rational analysis.
Of course, Shen Wuming and Su Xin shared no emotional bond to begin with. On the contrary, the enmity between them ran deep.
But enmity was enmity. Shen Wuming had to admit that, whether in strength or ability, Su Xin stood among the very finest of their generation in the Jianghu.
The first time Su Xin led the Seven Great Gangs in joining forces to slay Mogo, he had already brought them immeasurable prestige. Later, at the Xiao Family, Shen Wuming and the others had feared the strength of the Xiao Family Ancestor and thus had not acted. Only Di Jingfei had stepped forward, and even he had done so out of consideration for Yan Rumeng, mistress of Shadow Moon Palace.
No one had expected that in that battle, the Xiao Family Ancestor, once so renowned throughout the Jianghu, would be defeated—and die such a stifling death at that.
Naturally, Shen Wuming and the others felt stifled as well. Such a perfect opportunity, yet they had forcibly let it slip away.
Now another opportunity lay before Shen Wuming and the rest. Others might not know it, but Shen Wuming had the courage to take a gamble.
And quite a few forces had made the same choice as the Seven Heroes Assembly.
The Zheng Sword Alliance, Gold and Jade Tower, and Nian Gang had all chosen to act. The only ones who had not were the Heroes Association and Green Blood Green Mountain Hall.
Ren Pingsheng and Chen Du were now members of the Underworld, so it would actually be easy enough for them to take action.
But Ren Pingsheng and Chen Du were currently appearing in the Northwest as Underworld experts to aid Su Xin.
