Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 676: Chapter 675: Death is Not Regrettable

Hu Chunyang was dumbstruck. Had Yue Qianfeng become so adoring of Su Yang?

After swallowing the pill, Yue Qianfeng sat cross-legged and regulated his breathing for a moment. When he opened his eyes again, they immediately shone bright with spirit, and his whole being seemed much more invigorated.

”Master Su, this medicine is truly miraculous!” Yue Qianfeng exclaimed excitedly. He distinctly felt that his old sickness had been cured. Moreover, his strength had also increased slightly. And all this in such a short time.

Yue Qianfeng had caused such a stir in the Divine Farmer Sect just for the sake of acquiring a Spiritual Medicine that would heal his old illness and enhance his power.

But now, Su Yang had directly given him the Spiritual Medicine, so what was there left for him to struggle for?

Furthermore, Su Yang’s heaven-defying strength also made him feel he had found a backer. From now on, all he needed to do was to cultivate diligently and wait for his re-entry into the Earth Rankings, or perhaps even become a Terrestrial Immortal!

Su Yang smiled faintly and nodded. The medicine was actually obtained from the Old Divine Farmer Sect, so naturally, its effects were good.

Yue Qianfeng asked, ”Master Su, how should we deal with Hu Chunyang?”

Hu Chunyang’s body shuddered. Now that Yue Qianfeng had sided with Su Yang, did that mean they had no hope left?

Before Su Yang could speak, Hu Chunyang knelt to the ground with a thump and implored, ”Elder Jeang, Master Su, I... I know I was wrong, I’ll never dare again...”

Elder Jeang didn’t speak, looking towards Su Yang instead. Now the real person in charge was Su Yang; they didn’t even have the right to speak.

”Kill him!” Su Yang said calmly.

”Ah?” Yue Qianfeng couldn’t help but startle, and Elder Jeang’s expression changed drastically, whispering, ”Master Su, although Elder Hu has made a mistake, it’s not worthy of death. He has contributed to the Divine Farmer Sect for many years, and for this little matter, you can’t... just kill him...”

Su Yang’s expression remained calm. ”I didn’t say to kill just him. Kill his son along with him!”

Everyone was stunned once more. Wasn’t Su Yang being too ruthless?

Elder Jeang looked towards Jeang Zier. Although she was reluctant, she still whispered, ”Master Su...”

”Are you questioning my decision?” Su Yang asked back directly.

Jeang Zier immediately retracted her words, nodding, ”If Master Su says so, there must be a reason. I support Master Su!”

Yue Qianfeng scratched his head but still headed straight toward Hu Chunyang.

Hu Chunyang was petrified and protested, ”Why? Why? I may have wanted to become the Sect Leader, but I did it for the good of Divine Farmer Sect. Moreover, no one has died. I acted for the greater good; even if I’m wrong, the most you can do is punish me, but why kill me? And kill my son too? What right do you all have? Su, you’re not a member of the Divine Farmer Sect. What right do you have to make decisions for the Divine Farmer Sect?”

Everyone else also looked down—killing Hu Chunyang and his son did seem a bit excessive.

Su Yang, on the other hand, remained calm. He said coldly, ”Can you explain how exactly the Sect Leader of Divine Farmer Sect was injured?”

Hu Chunyang was momentarily stunned, his expression shifting dramatically, ”I... I don’t know...”

”’You don’t know?’” Su Yang’s cold voice said, ”The sleeping potion you administered to the Sect Leader is still in your son’s room, hidden in the third secret compartment under his bed. Are you saying you don’t know? Should someone retrieve it for you? It’s right there!”

Upon hearing these words, Hu Chunyang almost collapsed to the ground. How could he have imagined that Su Yang would know even such details? Now, it was impossible for them to refute the accusation.

Seeing Hu Chunyang’s reaction, everyone knew that what Su Yang had said was indeed correct.

Elder Jeang was the first to anger, ”Elder Hu, was it really you who harmed the Sect Leader? I always felt there was something fishy about it, but no matter how much I thought about it, I never expected it to be one of our own. I cannot believe that you would lay such a toxic hand on the Sect Leader. Have you forgotten? It was the Sect Leader who saved your life in the past. When your son was born with congenital deficiencies, it was the Sect Leader who spent a decade of his energy to save him, and this is how you repay him?”

Hu Chunyang’s face turned pale as he said tremblingly, ”I was wrong, I was so wrong... I shouldn’t have done this... I won’t ever again, please give me another chance, just... just one more...”

”You still have the nerve to ask for another chance?” Elder Jeang shouted angrily, ”Guards, drag him away!”

A few people rushed forward to drag Hu Chunyang away, and suddenly he shouted, ”Yes, I harmed the Sect Leader, but the Sect Leader is not dead. One pays with their life for murder, but... but I haven’t killed anyone. On what grounds... on what grounds do you kill me?”

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, when Su Yang spoke up again, ”Hu Chunyang, do you know why I want to kill your son as well?”

”Why... why...” Hu Chunyang asked with a trembling voice, ”It’s my fault, I... I alone should bear it, why... why do you want to kill my son...”

”Beneath the moss-covered boulder, seventy meters north of the small wooded area on the back hill...” Su Yang said evenly.

Su Yang did not continue, leaving everyone looking confused except for Hu Chunyang, whose face instantly turned deathly pale. He stared at Su Yang in horror and stammered, ”How... how do you know, how... how could you know, it’s impossible... it’s just impossible...”

”What exactly happened?” Jeang Zier asked in surprise.

”Dig there, and you’ll find out...” Su Yang said, ”There should be seven skeletons, six female corpses, and one male corpse. Hu Chunyang abducted women from the mountain foot for his son to marry, but after his son grew tired of them, they would be killed and buried there.”

”What?” The entire room was shocked by such ghastly news.

”Is there really such a thing!?” Elder Jeang almost leapt up, his eyes bulging with furious incredulity.

”And the male corpse?” Jeang Zier asked in amazement.

”It’s a Herb-Collecting Lad from your Divine Farmer Sect who discovered their doings; they killed him to silence him and buried him there as well,” Su Yang explained.

The crowd gasped again; not only had Hu Chunyang killed village women, but he had also killed a lad from their own sect, which made it even more infuriating.

Su Yang looked at Hu Chunyang, ”Just now, you were asking me by what right I would kill you? Now, with these crimes, isn’t it enough?”

Hu Chunyang appeared dazed, still trembling as he called out, ”How could this be, how could this be? This is not possible, you... you couldn’t possibly know, you couldn’t possibly know...”

Su Yang turned to Elder Jeang, ”What about you? Do you think he deserves to die or not?”

Elder Jeang stood up, bowed deeply, and said, ”If it were not for Master Su, we might have been kept in the dark for our entire lives. I had no idea Hu Chunyang had done so many atrocious acts. Such a person truly doesn’t deserve to live. Members of the Divine Farmer Sect, heed my orders: immediately go to the back hill and dig up those skeletons, then execute Hu Chunyang and his son as a sacrifice for them!”
