The young man who suddenly appeared was none other than Su Zichen.
Actually, Su Zichen need not have come this time; as a direct disciple of Su Xin and assuming the position of Deputy Chief of the Hidden Guards, he didn't handle much affairs, on equal footing with Qi Long, and the execution of such missions could be managed by Qi Long, while he just needed to focus on cultivation in the Northwestern Province.
However, Su Zichen volunteered to come when he heard that Qi Long was planning to kill Yuan Kong, not to compete for credit, but simply to see who was superior between him and Yuan Kong.
Back at Shaolin Temple, Su Zichen was constantly suppressed by Yuan Kong. Although he had never directly fought the latter, he nearly failed his mission and lost his life because of him.
