Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 645: Chapter 644: Change of Leadership in the Lian Family

Lian Qianjun’s face showed embarrassment; he knew that Lian Wanxiong was somewhat dissatisfied with him. He took a deep breath and said in a low voice, ”I don’t know what the situation is, but he said that Lin’er has some unfinished business with him, so he wouldn’t let Lin’er leave. Isn’t this too much?”

Lian Wanxiong simply stopped asking him and turned to Su Yang, speaking softly, ”Young brother, may I know what unfinished business you have with my Lin’er?”

Su Yang replied softly, ”The young master just had a fight with me. He said if I lost, I would have to kneel and kowtow to him!”

Lian Wanxiong’s expression turned cold, and he directly faced Lian Shaoye and demanded sternly, ”Lin’er, is this true?”

Lian Shaoye’s face was filled with panic. This family’s Terrestrial Immortal, whom he had only met twice, held a clear status in the family. The fear in his heart could be imagined as Lian Wanxiong questioned him personally.

”We... We fought fairly...” Lian Shaoye hurriedly said.

”I’m asking you if you told him to kneel and kowtow?” Lian Wanxiong asked sternly.

Lian Shaoye’s face was extremely awkward, wanting to argue but knowing it was impossible before so many people. Finally, he could only nod his head.

Lian Wanxiong’s expression turned even colder, ”Lin’er, although I haven’t seen you many times, I believe I have told you this. To be kind to others is to be kind to oneself. Su Yang holds no grudge against you, and I don’t oppose your martial arts sparring. But why would you make such an outrageous claim, demanding someone kneel and kowtow? How exactly did he offend you for you to insult him like this?”

Lian Shaoye stood with his mouth agape, not knowing how to answer.

Lian Qianjun said anxiously, ”Big brother, Lin’er lost and also got hurt by this Su person; we acknowledge that. But this Mr. Su wouldn’t let Lin’er leave and even killed three of our Lian Family members. What does this mean? Does this not count as an insult to our Lian Family?”

”Lin’er lost, so did he kneel and kowtow to him?” Lian Wanxiong countered.

”Ah?” Lian Qianjun was stunned; he hadn’t expected Lian Wanxiong to ask such a question.

”Did you kneel and kowtow to him?” Lian Wanxiong directly asked Lian Shaoye.

Lian Shaoye was dumbfounded, and Lian Qianjun hurriedly said, ”Big brother, how can we let Lin’er kneel and kowtow to him?”

”Oh, so Lin’er wins, and someone else must kneel and kowtow to you. Lin’er loses, and he just walks away after saying a few words?” Lian Wanxiong said coldly, ”How come you’re so noble? Are you that much nobler than the others? If you win, others must kneel. If you lose, just brush it off with a word, why is that?”

His words left Lian Qianjun and Lian Shaoye speechless and unable to answer. The two of them exchanged glances, both at the peak of embarrassment.

”If it were me, I wouldn’t let you leave this hall either!” Lian Wanxiong said coldly, ”You’re only allowed to insult me but not permitted to fight back; why is that?”

”Big brother...” Lian Qianjun tried to argue, but Lian Wanxiong forcefully cut him off, ”Qianjun, you’ve been in charge of the Lian Family for years, and I’ve turned a blind eye to many things, but don’t think I’m really unaware of everything. I let you lead the Lian Family because I thought you had suffered a lot and would cherish everything you have today. But now it seems I was wrong!”

”The first family of Pingbei Province, did it make you lose your sense of proportion? You think the whole world revolves around you? That you can step on everyone else?”

”Have you not learned anything from the bitter defeat at the Dragon Head Meeting in May? Do you really think the Lian Family can be lawless?”

”With someone like you leading the Lian Family, what good future can the Lian Family have?”

The more Lian Wanxiong spoke, the angrier he got. Eventually, he swung his hand in a fierce motion, striking Lian Shaoye in the chest with his palm.

Lian Shaoye was sent flying, crashing down before Su Yang. When he landed, his knees had already collapsed to the ground, effectively kneeling before Su Yang.

”You will carry out the words you spoke yourself!” Lian Wanxiong said sternly.

”Big brother, Lin’er is still injured...” Lian Qianjun said urgently.

”And you!” Lian Wanxiong said coldly, ”From today onwards, you are no longer the Patriarch of the Lian Family. Your lineage will hand over all management rights of the Lian Family and will no longer be in charge!”

With these words, the entire room was in an uproar.

The Lian Family was, after all, the number one family in Pingbei Province.

Was Lian Wanxiong really going to change the leadership of the Lian Family with just a single sentence?

But nobody dared to doubt this would happen because, really, it was Lian Wanxiong who held the reins of the Lian Family!

While Lian Qianjun had been the Family Head for decades, as long as Lian Wanxiong spoke, he would still have to step down.

Lian Qianjun was also stunned. He never expected Lian Wanxiong to administer such a severe punishment.

”Big brother, where... where did I go wrong?” Lian Qianjun’s voice trembled.

”Reflect on your own deeds when you return!” Lian Wanxiong exclaimed indignantly.

Lian Qianjun opened his mouth but ultimately dared not speak again. Lian Wanxiong had always been known for his good temper, and he had never shown the anger he displayed today. It seemed he was truly furious this time.

The complexion of Lian Shaoye turned even paler; their lineage would no longer be able to hold power over the family, which meant his position as the future Family Head was also gone. From now on, he would no longer be the Lian Family’s prominent young master that everyone paid attention to.

He really couldn’t accept such a downfall.

Furthermore, he was still kneeling in front of Su Yang, which was even more embarrassing for him.

He didn’t dare to stand up either, as it was Lian Wanxiong who had personally beaten him down. Without Lian Wanxiong’s permission, how could he dare to rise?

Su Yang hadn’t expected Lian Wanxiong to resolve the situation so decisively. In fact, he dared to make a scene here because he knew the Terrestrial Immortals couldn’t interfere in his affairs. And with Su Yang’s current strength, he feared no one unless he encountered a Terrestrial Immortal.

However, he never imagined that the two Terrestrial Immortals of Pingbei Province would be so reasonable.

Huo Yuanzhen had directly incapacitated several members of the Lian Family by severing their arms, and Lian Wanxiong had even removed Lian Qianjun from his position, naturally deterring everyone else.

At this moment, what member of the Ten Great Families who had harbored dissatisfaction towards Su Yang would still dare to hold even the slightest grudge against him?

Ling Laoqi, Fang Jing, Fang Jun, and Zhou Jun, on the other hand, were near the brink of collapse.

Firstly, the strength displayed by Su Yang had already frightened them.

And with how events had unfolded, they were now utterly in despair.

Considering both of the Pingbei Province’s Terrestrial Immortals were essentially backing Su Yang, did their outcome even need to be stated?

Zhou Jun just wished he could find a hole to burrow into and hide; he truly wanted to beat himself to death. Why did he provoke Su Yang for no good reason?

As for Fang Jing and Fang Jun, they were also extremely regretful.

The outcome of this incident only further solidified Su Yang’s status, which needed no further mention.

Given Old Lin’s relationship with Su Yang, Old Lin’s future status was self-evident. What would Ling Laoqi even amount to in his presence?
