Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 647: Chapter 646 Hitting the Child

The young nobles present were simply afraid when they heard, worried about how Su Yang might target them.

But it was the Family Heads who were truly worried.

They were very clear that once Su Yang came to set the rules, especially with anger, it would create a hindrance for Pingbei Province.

Not to mention anything else, if Su Yang targeted the top Ten Families of Pingbei Province, set rules to restrict them, how could the Ten Families continue to develop?

Not listen to Su Yang, not follow the rules he set? Did they dare?

If they were still resentful when they were defeated at the Dragon Head Meeting in May,

then after tonight’s battle, they were thoroughly convinced.

Huo Yuanzhen’s attitude towards Su Yang showed that she stood on his side.

Lian Wanxiong also clearly stated his position; he supported Su Yang.

So, if Su Yang set rules and they did not comply, what would they do once Su Yang returned to Pingbei Province?

Su Yang dared to kill three members of the Lian Family in front of Lian Qianjun, making Lian Shaoye kneel; what couldn’t he do?

The Family Heads at the scene had no doubt that if Su Yang was willing, he could kill them at any time, and they couldn’t even stop him.

Everyone had also heard about the waves Su Yang had stirred in Pingnan Province, several large families had been toppled by him. With his strength, and the support of Huo Yuanzhen and Lian Wanxiong, it wouldn’t be difficult to bring down the major families of Pingbei Province either.

Therefore, even before Su Yang spoke, these Family Heads exchanged glances and made a decision simultaneously.

Patriarch Wu was the first to step forward, saying loudly, ”Master Su is right, our discipline over the younger generation has been far too lax, which led to today’s events. On behalf of the Wu Family, I apologize to Master Su. At the same time, to prove my sincerity...”

Patriarch Wu took a step back and announced loudly, ”Bring someone here to slap Wu Chengjun thirty times, strip him of his successor status, and deprive him of all his properties!”

Wu Chengjun was Wu Shao of the Wu Family.

Hearing this, Wu Shao was nearly driven insane, he frantically said, ”Grandfather, how... how could you do this?”

The people of the Wu Family were also stunned; Wu Shao was the elder young master of the family, the future heir. Was Patriarch Wu really serious?

”What are you dawdling for?” Patriarch Wu shouted angrily, ”Do I need to do it myself?”

Only then did the people of the Wu Family snap back to reality, looking at each other, all shaken. They saw that Patriarch Wu was willing to sacrifice Wu Shao to preserve the Wu Family.

After all, Wu Shao had offended Su Yang quite a bit. If Su Yang decided to hold them accountable, they didn’t know what consequences the Wu Family would face.

Patriarch Wu was doing this for the family. A successor could be found again; there were so many people in the Wu Family. But if the Wu Family was gone, what use would there be for more heirs?

These people, having understood the implications, no longer hesitated. They went over, held Wu Shao down, and started to slap his face with a string of crackling sounds.

Wu Shao had been shouting loudly, but after several slaps, blood flowed from his mouth, and he could no longer make a sound. After being hit for a while longer, his face swelled up, no longer resembling the spirited young master he once was.

The others watched with faces filled with shock and panic. Such a prominent figure as Wu Shao was subject to such punishment; they couldn’t even begin to imagine what would become of them in the future!

Wu Shao was almost beaten into unconsciousness by the end, but Patriarch Wu didn’t even glance at him, nor did he allow anyone to take him away for bandaging. He let him stay right there, so that Su Yang could take his anger out on him and lessen his hatred towards the Wu Family.

Su Yang, however, appeared calm, watching the entire process as if it were a play. Afterwards, he slowly turned toward Patriarch Sun beside him.

Patriarch Sun’s complexion looked extremely ugly. He was very fond of his grandson, but what could he do at this time? If Patriarch Wu had done such a thing, and he did not follow suit, wouldn’t Su Yang turn his target onto him?

Following the same method, Patriarch Sun also had Sun Shao disciplined, stripping him of his heir position.

Sun Shao cried and howled the loudest since he was the most doted upon. Nonetheless, Patriarch Sun didn’t even turn his head to look at him; in the end, Sun Shao was beaten into unconsciousness before the shouting stopped.

The young nobles present were all trembling with fear. These two were leading figures among them, and yet they both ended up with such a fate?

In fact, Lian Shaoye from Pingbei Province was the biggest young noble of them all. However, Lian Shaoye’s fate was not much better.

He was severely injured by Su Yang, then knelt before him and was also stripped of his heirship.

Was this the fate of anyone who offended Su Yang?

Zhou Jun, standing in the crowd, was trembling so much that his calves shook. This whole affair could almost be said to have arisen because of him.

He had truly offended Su Yang thoroughly; back in Pingnan Province, there had been a grudge between them. Coming to Pingbei Province, he thought this was his territory, his chance to humiliate Su Yang. Unexpectedly, he ended up with such a result, even in Pingbei Province, he had to respect Su Yang!

After the Sun Family, the family heads of the other big clans also took action, disciplining everyone in their families who had offended Su Yang.

The scene turned into a place for punishing children, and these family heads, in an effort to quell Su Yang’s anger, could be said to have each shown their skills. Those once unruly and arrogant nobles were all put in their places, crying for their fathers and mothers, howling miserably.

By the end, more than half of the young nobles had not been disciplined because they were not from the Ten Great Families. But these people were even more scared, their faces turning even paler.

If the people from the Ten Great Families ended up like this, what would be waiting for them?

It wasn’t until the Ten Great Families had resolved the matter that Su Yang finally put down the teacup in his hand. He stood up and spoke in a loud voice, ”It seems the Ten Great Families are quite sincere. Since that’s the case, we’ll put aside the matter of rules for now!”

The family heads of the Ten Great Families all breathed a sigh of relief, considering themselves to have escaped a disaster. As long as Su Yang didn’t pursue the issue with anger, everything in the future would be easier to handle and open to negotiation.

Su Yang turned his gaze to Ling Laoqi, saying coldly, ”Now, isn’t it time to settle things between us?”

Ling Laoqi’s complexion had already turned extremely ugly. Clenching his teeth, he said in a deep voice, ”So you are Master Su from Pingnan Province. I was blind, failing to recognize great talent right before me. I didn’t recognize you and I apologize!”

”Apologies are unnecessary!” Su Yang said, ”I am here to take your life. Whether you apologize or not, you must die. So, save it!”
