Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 221: Chapter 221: A Spy in the Liao Family

After breakfast, just as Su Yang was about to go upstairs, a feeble knocking sound came from the door.

”Coming!” Qi’er ran over from the kitchen to open the door and suddenly exclaimed, ”Uncle Fang, what... what happened to you?”

Su Yang turned his head to look and saw Master Fang staggering in, leaning against the wall. He had barely entered the room when he collapsed to the ground, passing out.

Master Fang had a massive wound on his chest, his flesh was a mangled mess, and it looked horrifying. That he had managed to make it here alive with such a wound was already a miracle.

Master Fang was currently working for Su Yang. Who would be so bold as to seriously injure him like this?

Su Yang took Master Fang to the third floor and, after examining him personally, found that Master Fang’s injuries were far worse than they appeared on the surface.

A powerful force within his body rampaged relentlessly, as if intent on tearing all his internal organs to shreds.

Fortunately, Master Fang was carrying the Kirin Jade given to him by Su Yang, which protected his vital organs. Otherwise, Master Fang would probably have died from ruptured organs long ago.

”Brother Su, what happened to Uncle Fang?” Qi’er asked anxiously.

Su Yang furrowed his brows. The force inside Master Fang was extremely powerful, likely the work of someone in the Fusion Realm. This force was not much weaker than that of Nan Wudi. How many such powerful individuals were there in Pingnan Province?

Su Yang gave Master Fang a Revival Pill to swallow, then sat down cross-legged, placed his hand on Master Fang’s head, and started to use Devouring the Heavens to absorb the force within Master Fang’s body.

It wasn’t long before Su Yang had completely absorbed that force, and Master Fang’s wound healed at a visibly fast rate. As for Master Fang, his breathing gradually stabilized.

Su Yang sat beside Master Fang and waited for two hours before Master Fang finally regained consciousness.

Seeing Su Yang, Master Fang knew how he had been saved. He immediately turned over to kowtow, his voice trembling as he said, ”Thank you, Immortal Master, for saving my life!”

”There’s no need to be polite!” Su Yang waved his hand and said, ”You are working for me now; you’re my person. How could I not save you when you were in danger?”

Master Fang was touched. He had always cultivated alone, with no background or sect. Although he was known as Master Fang, when faced with someone stronger, he could only be trampled upon. Otherwise, he would not have fled so wretchedly to Nanluo City.

Now, following Su Yang, Master Fang finally understood what it felt like to have someone’s support. Staying by Su Yang’s side, his reputation had also increased significantly. Many people treated him with sincere respect, which was entirely different from the admiration he used to get through deception and swindling.

”Who injured you?” Su Yang asked solemnly.

”I don’t know,” Master Fang said softly. ”Immortal Master, as per your instructions, I was keeping an eye on Liao Yuxuan. Somehow, I was ambushed by a man in black on the way. He was very strong; if not for the magic artifact you gave me for protection, I would probably be dead. Luckily, I had the Purple Lightning Divine Thunder you gave me. I used it to buy some time and managed to escape!”

Su Yang frowned. This man in black definitely wouldn’t make a move for no reason. So, there were only two possibilities: one was that the man had a grudge against him, and the other was that Master Fang had done something to displease the man.

Being a cautious person, Master Fang actually didn’t have many enemies. So, if there was a grudge, it was likely against Su Yang himself.

Of course, it was also possible that Master Fang had offended the man. However, from what Master Fang had said, it seemed that he hadn’t provoked the man. Could it be that the man in black was dissatisfied with Master Fang’s tracking of Liao Yuxuan?

Thinking of this, an idea suddenly struck Su Yang. He remembered the matter concerning Liao Yuxuan.

Previously, Su Yang only regarded Liao Yuxuan as an ordinary person, but later Su Yang realized that his Soul Searching Technique couldn’t see through Liao Yuxuan at all. Liao Yuxuan didn’t practice cultivation, so he must have some powerful magic artifact protecting him.

Although Liao Yuxuan is a second-generation rich kid, he’s just a common businessman’s offspring. What kind of powerful magic artifacts could he possibly possess?

Connecting this with the recent events, Su Yang suddenly realized that he knew too little about Liao Yuxuan. This person who had once tricked him probably had some complex secrets hidden behind him!

Just at that moment, Hou Shilin suddenly called, informing Su Yang that the Nine Great Families would be coming to Nanluo City to select the tenth family.

Because two families were involved in the competition, the Hou Family felt a bit insecure, so they asked Su Yang to come over and help with the selection process.

Su Yang furrowed his brows, wondering why all these events were happening at the same time.

The Nine Great Families were coming to Nanluo City, a man in black had attacked Master Fang, and two other families were contesting with the Hou Family. This matter seemed far from simple!

Su Yang told Master Fang to rest in the room first, then he took out the Kirin Jade. Using the Kirin Jade as the Array Eye, he set up a protective formation to temporarily protect the villa.

This protective formation could fully unleash the power of the Kirin Jade. Unless someone reached the Venerable Realm, breaking this formation was practically impossible.

After setting up everything, Su Yang finally left the house. With the Kirin Jade as the guardian, he wasn’t afraid of anyone sneaking an attack on his home.

Half an hour later, Su Yang arrived at the location where Master Fang had been attacked. It was a very secluded alley, into which Master Fang had been forced by the man in black. Inside the alley, traces of the aftermath of the battle still lingered!

Su Yang carefully felt the residual waves of the battle lingering in the air, capturing the scent of the man in black. For now, he couldn’t find the man, but he remembered his scent, sure to recognize him immediately if they crossed paths again.

Afterward, Su Yang didn’t go back, but instead he went to Liao Yuxuan’s house.

There was definitely a problem at Liao Yuxuan’s house, and Su Yang intended to personally investigate.

Liao Yuxuan’s house was located in the Southern Outskirts, and it was a villa with quite a spacious property.

The villa’s gate was closed tight. From outside, one could vaguely see the situation within—the yard had dogs and people, and it wouldn’t be easy to just walk in.

However, these obstacles couldn’t stop Su Yang. He simply climbed over the wall and jumped into the yard, where the first to discover him was a dog. But before the dog could bark, Su Yang had already threw a silver needle, causing the dog to slouch to the ground inertly.

Two people nearby only realized something was wrong then, but Su Yang was a step faster than them. Two silver needles flew out, and both men fell to the ground simultaneously.

Su Yang walked with his hands behind his back, going straight into Liao Yuxuan’s house. There were no people inside, just a few others standing guard outside, but they also fell to Su Yang’s silver needles.

These silver needles targeted their pressure points for inducing sleep. After being pricked, they would only sleep and upon waking, would remember nothing.

After a round inside Liao Yuxuan’s house, Su Yang found nothing amiss. He couldn’t help but be surprised—could his suspicions have been wrong?

As he was about to leave, Su Yang suddenly stopped in his tracks because he sensed the presence of the man in black!
