Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 711: Chapter 710: Better to Break Than to Bend

Xu Shao’s family finally sent over ten million, and only then did Su Yang release him.

Having knelt on the ground for a full five hours, Xu Shao couldn’t even stand up in the end; he was carried down the mountain by others.

Su Yang didn’t pay him any attention. Such insignificant characters were naturally beneath his concern.

Watching Xu Shao and his people leave, Elder Jeang’s expression turned extremely unpleasant. He approached Su Yang and said in a low voice, ”Master Su, actually... actually, your decision to kill Young Master Qin earlier was a bit inappropriate...”

Su Yang could tell that Elder Jeang was particularly concerned about this matter.

Indeed, it was normal. In the Southern Six Provinces, whether it was any sect, family clan, or various other powers, all held the Qi Family of Wanhu in high esteem.

The strength of a single family rivaled that of the combined strength of three provinces’ Ten Great Families, which in itself was enough to illustrate the fearsome nature of the Qi Family of Wanhu.

Being located in the Southern Six Provinces, the Divine Farmer Sect naturally knew of the formidable might of the Qi Family of Wanhu. Hence, Elder Jeang had been brooding over Su Yang’s killing of Young Master Qin.

The Qi Family of Wanhu, being the oldest martial family and one of the top ten martial families in Huaxia, was renowned for producing a multitude of martial arts experts. With six Terrestrial Immortals, their name resounded throughout the world. For many years, no one had dared to provoke the Qi Family of Wanhu—Su Yang was the first.

”Inappropriate?” Su Yang slowly shook his head. ”I think it was quite appropriate. This Young Master Qin, he bullied men and overpowered women, acting tyrannically, and relying on his uncle’s reputation, he has caused the death of at least six or seven people. Such a person, do you think I shouldn’t have killed him?”

Elder Jeang was taken aback; he hadn’t known about the deeds Young Master Qin had committed. Hearing Su Yang say this, he thought that indeed Young Master Qin deserved to be killed.

”Master Su, although Young Master Qin deserved to die, this... this shouldn’t have been at your hands...” Elder Jeang said helplessly. ”Qi Zhi’an is famously protective of his own, and with the Qi Family of Wanhu’s vengeful nature, killing Qi Zhi’an’s nephew will surely lead to him seeking revenge against you.”

”Even though Qi Zhi’an is no match for you, the Qi Family of Wanhu is rife with experts. Among the Qi Family’s Five Heroes, Qi Zhi’an is considered the least powerful. The eldest of the Qi Family Five Heroes is the third-ranking master on the Earth Rankings, Qi Zhishan. Two of the Qi Family Five Heroes are listed on the Earth Rankings.”

”Furthermore, there are six Earth Immortals in the Qi Family, with the strongest, Qi Bachí, being the fourth-ranking master on the Heavenly List. Even though the others haven’t made it onto the Heavenly List, they are all Earth Immortals, beings beyond reproach.”

”Offending the Qi Family in such a way is truly unwise. Once the people from the Qi Family come seeking revenge, this... this is very dangerous...”

Su Yang wasn’t particularly familiar with the strength of the Qi Family. Having heard Elder Jeang describe their power, he now had some understanding of it.

And the Qi Bachí Elder Jeang had just mentioned reminded Su Yang of what the Sword Saint Ye Jiansheng had told him before.

Ye Jiansheng had already defeated Qi Bachí, which meant that Qi Bachí could now only be considered the fifth on the Heavenly List, and Ye Jiansheng was now the fourth.

Nevertheless, for Su Yang, none of these rankings mattered.

Earth Immortals could not casually strike against ordinary people, so even if the Qi Family had six Earth Immortals, what of it? They couldn’t do anything to Su Yang!

As for the Qi Family’s Five Heroes, Su Yang was actually looking forward to meeting them.

If he wanted to follow Ye Jiansheng’s path and reach Great Perfection in every realm, he needed to engage in plenty of real combat. The Qi Family’s Five Heroes should make for excellent opponents.

Su Yang smiled lightly and teased, ”Elder Jeang, back at the Divine Farmer Sect, you were pressured by Elder Hu to the point of almost killing you, yet you weren’t afraid. How come you are already starting to fear the Qi Family before we’ve even arrived?”

Elder Jeang couldn’t help but feel taken aback and helplessly said, ”Master Su, I’ve lived so many years and I’m getting on in age, to tell the truth, I’m not afraid of death. But Master Su, you have a brighter future ahead. Moreover, now that you’re in charge of the Divine Physicians Alliance, it can only flourish with you at the helm. Our small sects too can have a chance to rise. It’s really... really unnecessary to get into a conflict with the Qi Family of Wanhu over such matters!”

Su Yang slowly nodded, he of course knew Elder Jeang was also looking out for him.

”Elder Jeang, thank you for the reminder,” Su Yang said calmly, ”But if the same situation arises next time, I’ll still do the same. If the Qi Family of Wanhu wishes to seek revenge, then I’ll be waiting for them. If we cower in fear, then what’s the point of our martial practice?”

Elder Jeang’s eyes widened in astonishment; he didn’t understand Su Yang’s personality and naturally did not know that Su Yang had always been one to never bend. Asking Su Yang to bow was an impossibility.

He had never shown fear even when facing Ye Jiansheng. As for the Qi Family of Wanhu, if they truly came looking, Su Yang wouldn’t mind fighting it out with them to the bitter end!

After staying a day at the Medical Saint Sect, Su Yang and his companions left the mountain.

On the way, Su Yang also spoke to Elder Jeang about wanting Jeang Zier to come to Nanluo City to assist him.

If it had been before this, Elder Jeang would have definitely not agreed to Su Yang’s request.

But, having witnessed Su Yang’s strength and miraculous medical skills, Elder Jeang was eager for Jeang Zier to stay by Su Yang’s side. Just learning a fraction of Su Yang’s secret techniques would benefit her immensely, far more than staying at the Divine Farmer Sect.

Therefore, after Su Yang brought up the matter, Elder Jeang immediately agreed. He even planned to go back to the sect leader and propose sending more people to Nanluo City to help out.

In fact, Elder Jeang had his own motives. By sending people to Nanluo City to help Su Yang, they were bound to receive some benefits. Regardless of the secret techniques they might learn, it would definitely be much better than staying at the Divine Farmer Sect!

As for Elder Jeang’s supposed promotion to sect leader, that was actually a ruse, a ploy to deceive the Medical Saint Sect into lowering their guard, thinking the Divine Farmer Sect was depending on Yue Qianfeng. Then, Su Yang would approach the Medical Saint Sect from the shadows, catching them completely off guard.

It was just that Su Yang hadn’t expected Liao Yuxuan’s involvement from the Medical Saint Sect, which led to some changes in the subsequent events. Now that it was all over, Elder Jeang was ready to return the position of sect leader back to its previous holder and continue serving as an elder himself.

The group chatted and laughed as they descended the mountain, passing through a secluded forest when suddenly, a sparse rustling noise came from the underbrush.

Everyone was amazed, and just at that moment, Su Yang’s pocket also began to shake. The little turtle, which had been sleeping in his pocket, actually crawled out.

The little guy’s eyes widened with interest as it looked toward the underbrush. Suddenly, it jumped right off Su Yang’s shoulder and dashed into the bushes.
