Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 378: Chapter 377 Pingnan Rebellion

Ye Wantong’s abduction had already reached the Ye Family. Initially, the information they received was that Su Yang had kidnapped Ye Wantong, which caused an uproar within the Ye Family.

For they could not fathom that it would be Su Yang who acted against Ye Wantong. After all, the Ye Family had been kind to Su Yang. How could he do such a thing?

However, piecing together various reports, it seemed that Ye Wantong did indeed accompany Su Yang to the underground parking lot, only to vanish afterward. In addition, the letter in which Mo Qianli had imitated Su Yang’s handwriting was also delivered to the Ye Family, leading them to suspect that Su Yang might have abducted Ye Wantong in a fit of rage, stemming from an unrequited passion for her.

Although Ye Zhenying was supportive of Su Yang, many in the Ye Family were dissatisfied with him. After all, they could not accept someone not of their lineage nearly stepping over the heads of the Ten Great Families.

Thus, with the spread of this news, these individuals immediately stood up, clamoring to deal with Su Yang. They even suggested that they should mobilize forces right away, invade Nanluo City, annihilate the Hou Family, and kidnap Su Yang’s relatives to force him to release Ye Wantong.

Ye Zhenying naturally rejected this proposal, believing there were too many doubts in this affair to take such action without certainty.

Despite the restraint within the Ye Family, the news still leaked to outsiders. Upon receiving this message, many became agitated. Some forces, hostile toward the Hou Family or harbouring enmity towards Su Yang, had previously hesitated to act.

Now, emboldened by this news and knowing that the Ye Family also harbored ill will towards Su Yang, they quickly got to work opposing the Hou Family and those aligned with Su Yang.

Amongst them, the Wang and Zhou Families were particularly conspicuous. The Wang Family had long been hostile towards the Hou Family, and at the last Dragon Head Meeting in Nanluo City, they had been forced to acknowledge the Hou Family as one of the Ten Great Families due to pressure from the Ye and Shangguan families. In fact, the Wang Family had always resented this matter.

Seizing the opportunity, the Wang Family would certainly not miss out and immediately deployed people, using the Ye Family’s matter as a pretext to boldly enter Nanluo City and create trouble.

The Zhou Family, after losing so much money to Su Yang, had harbored resentment but dared not act openly. Now, with the Wang Family leading, they swiftly took action.

Although the Zhou Family had its own share of internal and external troubles, as one of the Ten Great Families, even a thin camel is bigger than a horse. With the Wang Family taking the lead and the Zhou Family following suit, they managed to deal quite a blow to the Hou Family.

The Nan and Qin Families wanted to intervene to help the Hou Family but were directly blocked by the Ye Family in Zhongzhou City. After all, the prevailing news was that Ye Wantong had been kidnapped by Su Yang. Though the Ye Family had not yet made a move, that didn’t mean they would tolerate the situation, naturally preventing the Nan and Qin Families from aiding the Hou Family.

Soon, the narrative changed once again, as Ghost Blade Mo Qianli stepped forward to confess that it was he who had abducted Ye Wantong. He even boasted that he had killed Su Yang, threatening the Sword Saint to face him in battle, or else he would kill Ye Wantong as well!

With this revelation, the entirety of Pingnan Province was once again in an uproar: The deed wasn’t done by Su Yang?

The Wang and Zhou Families were still causing chaos in Nanluo City when this news reached them, and they too were shocked. However, despite their astonishment, they didn’t cease their actions but continued their battle with the Hou Family in Nanluo City.

For the Wang and Zhou Families, a primary objective was to crush the Hou Family to quell their grudge. The actual perpetrator of Ye Wantong’s abduction was immaterial to them; the most crucial piece of news they’d heard was that Su Yang was already dead.

Now that Su Yang is gone, the Hou Family is like a tiger without its teeth, what is there to be afraid of? The two families even reached a secret agreement to annihilate the Hou Family and take over Nanluo City’s territories.

The Nan Family and the Qin Family are also in shock, and at this time, the preliminary competition for the May Dragon Head Meeting has begun. Since it’s a Dragon Head Meeting involving both Pingnan Province and Pingbei Province, even the Ten Great Families have to personally send people to participate, concerning the division of the underground forces in these two provinces!

The Nan Family and the Qin Family had to send people to the May Dragon Head Meeting, and the Wang Family also temporarily ceased hostilities to arrange for their people to attend the May Dragon Head Meeting. Only the Zhou Family, no longer possessing the strength to participate in the May Dragon Head Meeting, is still causing trouble in Nanluo City, appearing to be ready to stir things up in Nanluo City until the very end.

After Su Yang and Ye Wantong descended the mountain, they had just gotten ahold of a phone when they received this news.

Su Yang was the first to furrow his brow, and Ye Wantong hurriedly called her grandfather Ye Zhenying’s cell phone, asking about her father’s situation.

Because of Ye Wantong’s incident, Ye Zhenying had been so anxious lately that he could hardly sleep. He was still awake at dawn. Receiving a call from his granddaughter, he couldn’t contain his excitement.

When asked about Ye Jiansheng, Ye Zhenying’s voice fell. Ye Jiansheng had left the family directly after receiving a challenge from Ghost Blade Mo Qianli, and it’s been over a dozen hours since then with no word from him. The Ye Family called him, and no one answered, which made the Ye Family very worried.

Ye Wantong’s heart was also lifted. She immediately inquired where exactly her father went to fight Ghost Blade Mo Qianli. But nobody at the Ye Family knew the specific location; after Ye Jiansheng left, the family was unable to track his whereabouts.

Tears suddenly surged in Ye Wantong’s eyes. Previously, when she was in the cave, she knew that there were two Earth Immortals planning to join forces to kill her father. Now that her father had gone out and disappeared, she was naturally very anxious.

After all, Ye Jiansheng was still unaware that she had escaped from her predicament. If the enemy used this to threaten her father, then Ye Jiansheng’s battle would probably be very difficult. Even worse, who knows if he might actually lose his life in that fight!

Ye Wantong immediately wanted to return home to try to find Ye Jiansheng, but Su Yang directly stopped her.

Su Yang hung up the phone and said with a grave voice, ”You can’t go back to the Ye Family now!”

”Why?” Ye Wantong frowned and said, ”If I don’t go back, what about my father? He was tricked away by Mo Qianli, and now... we still don’t know what his situation is. I need to let him know I’m back, so he doesn’t have to worry about me!”

”The Ye Family’s defenses are weak now, do you know what would happen if you went back?” Su Yang said coldly, ”If Ghost Blade Mo Qianli finds out you’ve escaped back there, what will you do when he comes to the Ye Family to capture you again?”

”This...” Ye Wantong suddenly became confused; that was indeed true. If Ghost Blade Mo Qianli were to attack the Ye Family again, they probably wouldn’t be able to resist.

”So, what do we do now?” Ye Wantong asked urgently, ”My father has been lured away, I must let him know that I’ve returned...”

”Don’t worry, Ye Jiansheng won’t be in any trouble for now!” Su Yang said with a firm tone.
