Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 917: Chapter 916: Is Apology Useful?

This time, if Su Yang hadn’t personally exposed the assassin, none of the people present would have suspected that Patriarch Cheng was actually an imposter.

One must admit that the assassin was truly patient. Even at this crucial moment, he was still able to calmly follow into the great hall instead of striking earlier. It seemed he intended to strike at Su Yang suddenly upon getting closer to him.

However, he greatly underestimated Su Yang’s strength, not expecting to be recognized as soon as he entered, which led to his miserable fate.

Su Yang did not bother with the assassin who lay on the ground with little breath left in him. He walked to the main seat and sat down before calmly speaking, ”Now, those here are the remaining family heads and rulers of the Southern Six Provinces. At this point, let’s discuss how should we wrap up this matter.”

The faces of the crowd were sullen. Su Yang had killed two-fifths of their people, a devastating loss for them.

Under any other circumstances, they would never let things go so easily. But this time, they had no choice but to bow their heads. Even their family’s Terrestrial Immortal had been defeated, what more could they say?

After a moment of silence, an elder stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, ”Alliance Leader Su, the wrongdoing was ours this time. Here, the family heads and rulers would like to apologize to Alliance Leader Su and to the Divine Physicians Alliance.”

The elder bowed deeply, and although the others were reluctant, they too had no choice but to bow.

Su Yang did not even glance at them, simply holding his teacup and slowly savoring the tea inside, as if he had no concern for the people before him.

Without a word from Su Yang, none of them could straighten their backs, all feeling incredibly awkward. Su Yang’s dismissive attitude inflamed their anger. But as angry as they were, what could they do?

After a long while, Su Yang finished his cup of tea and then looked at the people. Without allowing them to rise, he said calmly, ”Do you think an apology is useful?”

The faces of the crowd were all stunned. What did he mean by this?

Although it was said that everyone had joined forces to attack the Divine Physicians Alliance, in reality, the alliance had suffered little loss. But these great families had suffered heavy losses. Over five thousand came, and forty percent died here. Was Su Yang still not satisfied? What would it take for Su Yang to be content?

”Alliance Leader Su, as you can see, we have also suffered heavy losses...” the elder spoke softly.

”What of heavy losses?” Su Yang said coldly. ”According to my original plan, I was to kill you all!”

The complexions of everyone changed, and a family head couldn’t help but say, ”Alliance Hierarch, don’t go too far, we—”

Without letting the family head finish, Su Yang waved his hand, and a sword flew out, pinning the family head against the distant wall.

The crowd was shocked and their faces turned angry. However, in the end, no one dared to speak. After all, Su Yang was far too formidable now!

Han Tianyuan’s brow furrowed. He stepped forward and said in a deep voice, ”Alliance Leader Su, to be forgiving where one can is a virtue...”

”If the Divine Physicians Alliance had been the one defeated today, would you still say the same?” Su Yang interrupted Han Tianyuan directly.

Han Tianyuan’s complexion turned awkward as he clenched his teeth, ”No matter who comes out defeated, I would say the same words!”

”Really?” Su Yang sneered, ”But do you think they would listen to you?”

Han Tianyuan wanted to answer, but thinking about the things those families had done, he ultimately chose to remain silent. In truth, he knew very well that if the Divine Physicians Alliance were to be defeated, those families would certainly not hold back in utterly destroying them!

Su Yang set down the teacup in his hand and said coldly, ”Have you heard about what happened to the Hua Tuo Sect?”

The Hua Tuo Sect Leader’s face flushed with rage, and standing in the distance, his eyes reddened upon hearing this.

No one spoke, and Wan Mingshan finally couldn’t bear it, asking in a low voice, ”What happened with the Hua Tuo Sect?”

”It seems that none of you esteemed experts who were invited here know what these so-called great families have really done!” Su Yang scoffed, ”No wonder Sword Saint called those Earth Immortals a bunch of cowardly turtles. Humph, where do you all stand in comparison?”

Han Tianyuan could not hold back his anger anymore, ”Su Yang, I am not part of this family alliance, and you have no right to lecture me. Do not think that just because you are powerful, you can insult anyone you wish. I, Mr. Han, do not fear you!”

”I know you don’t fear me. If someone like you can afford to lose his own face, what else is there to fear?” said Su Yang coldly.

”Say that one more time, Su!” Han Tianyuan exploded with fury, ”Do you think I wouldn’t dare to kill you? I, Mr. Han, may not be as powerful as you, but I would risk my life rather than let you insult me like this!”

”Really?” Su Yang smirked and turned toward the Hua Tuo Sect Leader, ”Come, tell him about what happened to the Hua Tuo Sect, so this Earth Rankings’ fifth-ranked Mr. Han can understand exactly what kind of people he’s been helping!”

Han Tianyuan turned to the Hua Tuo Sect Leader. With the attention of this fifth-ranked Earth Rankings individual on him, the Hua Tuo Sect Leader showed no trace of fear, gritting his teeth as he recounted the suffering his sect had undergone. Especially when it came to what his female disciple had endured, the Hua Tuo Sect Leader’s voice choked up. This incident was indeed the most painful matter for the Hua Tuo Sect!

After hearing all this, Han Tianyuan was stunned. He had not expected the Xie Family to commit such an outrage that was scorned by both gods and men.

The others, Wan Mingshan, Xie Feiyu, as well as Wu Qianqian and Zheng Jiusha, all furrowed their brows.

Wu Qianqian, the Venomous Witch, and Zheng Jiusha, Ironface Juggernaut, although experts of the unorthodox sects and their deeds skewed towards the despicable, it was only in the context of combat, and even then, it was against powerful warriors. This did not mean they did not kill ordinary people, but at least, they wouldn’t commit atrocities against the average person without significant enmity!

And regarding what had happened to this female disciple of the Hua Tuo Sect, even they clenched their teeth in hatred upon hearing about it, let alone the others!

Xie Feiyu was the first to open his eyes, his gaze filled with murderous intent as he clenched his teeth and said, ”The Xie Family, huh!”

Wan Mingshan clenched his fists tightly and said in a deep tone, ”Sect Leader, are you sure, there’s no vendetta between your female disciple and those of the Xie Family?”

The Hua Tuo Sect Leader retorted, ”This female disciple, even when at home, had always stayed up in the mountains. This incident was her first time descending the mountain. In all these years, the only people she has seen are those from the Hua Tuo Sect. Furthermore, she is kind and pure-hearted, adored by everyone in the Hua Tuo Sect. Even if she could somehow enrage the Xie Family on her first descent, what kind of deep enmity could she possibly have incurred?”
