Supreme Star Card Master

Chapter 932: Chapter 728: Bright Light Association

”Big Rock Land’s Black Stone City, Li Su...”

Su Yuan looked towards Xiong Chunyang beside him.

Xiong Chunyang understood immediately and introduced, ”Black Stone City is one of the larger cities in Big Rock Land, but it also conducts a lot of underground activities, including assassinations, slavery, and various illicit trades...”

Su Yuan was quite surprised, ”They even sell slaves?”

”They do, and quite a number, too.”

The thin-faced elder Li Su overheard what Xiong Chunyang said and couldn’t help but ask, ”Is this young brother also from the Western Desert?”

Xiong Chunyang had such a clear understanding of Black Stone City; he must have stayed in the Western Desert before. Outsiders wouldn’t know such details.

”Why are you asking about me now?” Xiong Chunyang sneered.

With Su Yuan present, he didn’t care about someone at the Full Moon level.

Li Su felt quite frustrated, being overshadowed by someone at the Waning Moon Stage.

However, Li Su could only chuckle awkwardly, ”No... no, I was just thinking there might be some connection between us!”

”Stop trying to cozy up to me!” Xiong Chunyang coldly asked, ”I ask you, which faction in Black Stone City do you belong to, Yaksha Hall or Blood Flame Gang?”

”Yaksha Hall, Blood Flame Gang?” A hint of surprise flashed in Li Su’s eyes as he sized up Xiong Chunyang. ”It seems, young brother, you haven’t returned to the Western Desert for a long time.”

Xiong Chunyang frowned, ”What do you mean?”

Li Su said, ”Yaksha Hall and Blood Flame Gang are history already.”

”What!” Xiong Chunyang’s expression changed as he hurriedly asked, ”What happened? Wasn’t Yaksha Hall and Blood Flame Gang among the top forces in Black Stone City?”

Li Su looked at Xiong Chunyang subtly, and Su Yuan naturally noticed it too.

Although Xiong Chunyang had decent strength, he was straightforward and found it hard to hide his thoughts.

Clearly, the former Xiong Chunyang, even if not a member of Yaksha Hall or Blood Flame Gang, had at least some connections with people from these gangs.

Li Su said, ”A couple of years ago, Yaksha Hall and Blood Flame Gang were eliminated by the Bright Light Association, most members died, while the remaining ones fled.”

Xiong Chunyang furrowed his brow, ”Bright Light Association? Haven’t heard of this force.”

”Bright Light Association is a new force that emerged in the past two years and is now the leader in Black Stone City.

Within the association, there are more than twenty Radiant Moon Level members, and over a hundred Shining Star Level ones, among whom are even the Twelve Fierce Moons and Twelve Evil Stars!

In addition... it’s rumored to be backed by a Burning Sun Expert, though its authenticity is uncertain, as no one has seen one to this day.”

Su Yuan said, ”For a city, it truly is a rather formidable force.”

Xiong Chunyang frowned and asked, ”Where did they come from!”

Li Su replied, ”Like most forces in Big Rock Land, they came from places like Huo Luo Country and Xunyang Domain, but...”

Xiong Chunyang hurriedly asked, ”But what?”

Li Su pondered for a moment, then said, ”But it’s said that the Bright Light Association seems to be related to the North.”

”The North?” Xiong Chunyang’s voice suddenly rose.

Su Yuan’s eyes also shifted slightly.

As Sky Patrol Envoys, Su Yuan and Xiong Chunyang were highly sensitive to the North, especially at this time.

Su Yuan asked, ”Are you saying this because there are people from the North in the Bright Light Association, or...?”

Li Su shook his head, ”Not only are there people from the North, but there are also many wanted criminals who fled from the North to the Western Desert. You occasionally see Northern people.

But the Bright Light Association is somewhat different. All their core members must believe in some religious entity, like some kind of angel or similar being.

Also, they engage in star beast trading and material trading, much of which includes Northern-specific star beasts and materials.

It seems there is also support from a stronger Northern force backing them.”

”Bright Light Association...”

Su Yuan narrowed his eyes. If what Li Su said was true, it almost certainly pointed to Northern forces backing the Bright Light Association.

After all, to penetrate the Western Desert and establish themselves so quickly, it seemed anything but simple...

Moreover, it’s highly likely that the Bright Light Association was intentionally planted by Northern forces as a pawn in the Western Desert.

Such occurrences weren’t uncommon; currently, in Great Flame, Black Snow, Huo Luo, and the Five Domains, several Northern forces have infiltrated, secretly transmitting intelligence and creating chaos to disrupt order.

With enough understanding, Su Yuan turned to look at Li Su, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

Li Su’s heart tightened, and he quickly said, ”Please, please... I’ve told everything truthfully, begging this lord to show mercy!”

Xiong Chunyang grinned, ”We never said we’d let you go.”

Li Su looked at Su Yuan, thoughts racing, and said, ”You two should be new to the Western Desert. Although this young brother beside you knows about the Western Desert, it seems it’s been a while since he last came?

The Western Desert has undergone considerable changes. I, Li Su, travel throughout the Western Desert and consider myself well-informed about the situation.

Keeping me alive, I can guide you if needed, including the situation in Black Stone City, which I am also quite familiar with if you’re interested!”

Su Yuan remained unmoved; he didn’t have any methods to control people, and keeping an eye on someone at the Full Moon level would be quite a hassle.

Though it was somewhat regrettable, cutting them off would be more convenient.

”Squish, squash!”

Seemingly sensing Su Yuan’s thoughts, the creature on his shoulder named Ruan Ruan suddenly spoke.

”Oh?” Su Yuan looked at Ruan Ruan, considered for a moment, then nodded, ”Alright, you give it a try.”

”Whoosh!”

Ruan Ruan leaped into the air, and in a flash of swirling black light, transformed into a blue-haired beauty with a striking figure.

Her stunning appearance and uniquely cold yet noble aura left Xiong Chunyang somewhat dumbfounded.

Damn... How can she be so beautiful!

Ruan Ruan walked up to Li Su, pressing her palms together, a deep black light sprawling out from her palms, while the Black Coral Crown slanted on her head gleamed with a watery black glow.

Then, Ruan Ruan spread her hands apart, revealing a black seed the size of a dragon’s eye between her hands, which shot out towards Li Su.

Li Su instinctively wanted to dodge.

Su Yuan said, ”If you want to live, don’t move.”

Li Su instantly reacted, quickly stopping his movements, watching helplessly as the black seed hit him.

Accompanied by a layer of black ripples, the seed instantly merged into Li Su’s body.

The black seed immediately sank into Li Su’s Star Sea Full Moon, even absorbing and devouring all the Star Power he prepared to resist!

Just by slightly channeling his Star Power, Li Su immediately felt the seed was like a black hole rooted in his Star Sea, which could explode at any time and seemed capable of devouring his entire Star Sea Moon!

”What... What is this?!” Li Su’s eyes were filled with horror!

Ruan Ruan giggled and said, ”This is the Abyss Demon Seed. If you dare do anything against my master’s wishes, I’ll devour your Star Sea immediately!”

Li Su’s face turned pale, devour his Star Sea?

Losing his Star Sea would mean losing his cultivation, and for a Star Card Master, losing cultivation is worse than death!

Li Su looked at the beautiful girl in front of him, with such an innocent and pure face, casually uttering such ruthless words.

”However, by this logic, I shouldn’t be killed for now...”

Li Su immediately expressed to Su Yuan, ”No matter what this gentleman comes to the Western Desert to do, I, Li Su, am willing to serve tirelessly and loyally, like a horse or dog for the gentleman!”

Su Yuan said, ”Help me complete tasks first, then I might consider releasing you. I have no interest in your life.”

Li Su was slightly pleased, promptly responded, ”Yes, yes... By the way, what is the gentleman’s name?”

”My surname is Su.”

Li Su immediately bowed, ”Lord Su.”

”Just call me Boss.”

”Yes... Boss Su!”

Su Yuan pondered again, if the Bright Light Association truly was a force from the North infiltrating the Western Desert, it must be dealt with...

Though it might not mean much to the Western Desert, it is a hidden danger for the Great Flame.

Furthermore, if Su Yuan intends to clean up the Western Desert, this force will eventually need to be eliminated too.

”If that’s the case, then let’s check out the Bright Light Association.”

Li Su felt his heart skip, unexpectedly the master truly wanted to target the Bright Light Association.

”Lord Su, the Bright Light Association has a large number of Radiant Moon Level members and experts among the Twelve Fierce Moons.”

”A large number of Radiant Moons, Twelve Fierce Moons?” Xiong Chunyang sneered, ”Dead under my boss...”

”Chunyang,” Su Yuan interrupted him.

Xiong Chunyang promptly stopped, coughed twice, and said, ”Old man, just follow what the boss tells you to do, or I’ll chop you up if you yap any further!”

”Yes!” Li Su responded immediately.

Su Yuan turned and said, ”Let’s go, into the city.”

Li Su led the way, and the group smoothly entered Black Stone City.

With Ruan Ruan’s Abyss Demon Seed and Xiong Chunyang familiar with the Western Desert, Li Su dared not harbor any schemes.

Black Stone City was different from Great Flame’s cities; it was quite open and wild.

All sorts of underground dealings thrived here.

First, they verified what Li Su said, leading Su Yuan and the others to the business associations and slave markets under Bright Light Association’s control.

Indeed, there were many unique Star Beasts and materials from the North, and even some northern beauties in the slave market...

Finally, as dusk approached.

In the north of Black Stone City, at the Red Stone Battle Hall’s open arena, Su Yuan’s group, led by Li Su, bought tickets to enter the venue.

Su Yuan observed the surroundings, ”This Red Stone Battle Hall is quite lively.”

A masked Li Su explained, ”The Red Stone Battle Hall is one of the main income sources for Bright Light Association. People can not only participate in matches, but all spectators below can place bets.”

At this moment, the large open-air battle hall, which could accommodate tens of thousands, was almost full.

Moreover, the venue wasn’t cheaply built.

The reddish-brown ground was engraved with multiple layered Fifth Level Barriers, with these barriers here, let alone Shining Star, even Radiant Moon Level could exert their full strength!

”Xu Hao, Xu Hao! Ghost God Spear, kills without a shadow!”

”Xu Hao, kill, stab that clueless fatty to death!”

”...”

The battle hall was bustling, the crowd roaring loudly, cheering for the two fiercely dueling individuals.
