Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1226: Chapter 1225: Huang Wuyan

Everyone exchanged uneasy glances, understanding Chen Benhong’s temperament. It was clear he was taking out his anger on them. If they failed to come up with a good solution today, Chen Benhong would indeed make them pay for it.

But at this moment, what could they possibly think of?

After pondering for a while, one of the young men’s eyes suddenly lit up and he said, ”Chen Shao, I do have an idea, although it might be a bit troublesome.”

”Spit it out!” Chen Benhong said angrily, his rage unabated, offering no pleasant faces to those present.

The young man took a deep breath and whispered, ”Ordinary people like us might find it difficult to locate Su Yang, but perhaps the Terrestrial Immortals could have a way to find him. Think about it, with their immense strength, they might have some special methods. If they are willing to take action, then that Su fellow certainly won’t be able to escape!”

”You’re just talking nonsense!” Chen Benhong snarled in fury. ”How do you know the Terrestrial Immortals have a way to find Su Yang? Do you just spout bullshit without taking responsibility? If you dare spout this nonsense in front of me again, I’ll knock your damn teeth out!”

The young man’s face flushed with embarrassment. In that moment, Chen Jiu suddenly interjected, ”This method is worth a try.”

The young man was startled, then overwhelmed with joy. If Chen Jiu said that the method was worth trying, didn’t that mean it was actually a viable suggestion?

Chen Benhong turned to Chen Jiu in surprise, ”Uncle Jiu, this method...”

”This might be our only option right now!” Chen Jiu said. ”The Divine Sense of Terrestrial Immortals is powerful and can cover a vast area. Everything within that range can be perceived by them. If we can get more Terrestrial Immortals to cover the entire range of Capital City, then Su Yang will have nowhere to hide!”

”Is that even possible?” Chen Benhong was ecstatic and urged, ”Uncle Jiu, then... let’s hurry and find some Terrestrial Immortals to do this!”

Chen Jiu gave him a sidelong glance, ”It’s easier said than done. Do you have any idea how many Terrestrial Immortals it would take to cover the whole range of Capital City?”

”How many would it take?” Chen Benhong asked in surprise.

”Covering the entire Capital City would require at least half the Terrestrial Immortals to collaborate,” Chen Jiu said with a grave tone, his thoughts drifting back to an event from years before. The last time the Terrestrial Immortals of Capital City collaborated on such an endeavor was decades ago.

During that incident, nearly all the major families of the city had joined forces, assembling seventy percent of Capital City’s Terrestrial Immortals to lock down the whole city in search of a single person. That time, the families paid a heavy price for their actions, and for decades thereafter, the Terrestrial Immortals of the city never undertook a similar endeavor.

Now, they were considering this method again. Would the Terrestrial Immortals of Capital City unite once more? And this time, what would be the outcome if the major families allied to undertake this task?

”Half the Terrestrial Immortals of Capital City...” Chen Benhong stood dumbfounded. He had thought that finding just a few Terrestrial Immortals would be enough, and that he could just go home and call upon the few from the Chen Family for help. He hadn’t expected that such an endeavor would require so many Terrestrial Immortals, which meant they would have to seek assistance from many major families in Capital City.

The young man beside him was also stunned; he had just casually suggested this method without knowing how much it would cost. He hadn’t expected the method to be so arduous, and his heart couldn’t help but flutter with trepidation—Su Yang would probably berate him again, right?

As expected, Chen Benhong turned to him in a fury, ”What kind of shitty method is that? Do you have the ability to get so many Terrestrial Immortals from Capital City to help?”

The young man hung his head, not daring to speak, but Chen Jiu quietly said, ”We don’t need to come forward ourselves; there is someone who can do this!”

”Who?” Chen Benhong hurriedly asked.

Chen Jiu said softly, ”Huang Wuyan!”

...

Huang Wuyan, the Family Head of the Huang Family, was a top expert, Ninth on the Heavenly List.

Huang Wuyan had no children of his own, so he raised his younger brother’s son as if he were his own.

Huang Mingshan had been personally trained by Huang Wuyan. Although Huang Mingshan was a hopeless case, the Huang family had too few members, and he had been with Huang Wuyan for so long; Huang Wuyan still doted on him greatly.

Yet, it was this Huang Mingshan, whom he treated as his own son, who died at the hands of Su Yang.

Huang Wuyan had originally been in seclusion, but after Huang Mingshan’s coffin was brought back to the Huang family, he immediately came out of seclusion.

He sat quietly in the living room all day, staring at Huang Mingshan’s coffin. He didn’t speak all day, his face so grim it was almost dripping with gloom; anyone could see that Huang Wuyan was in a terrible mood.

Huang Mingshan’s father, Huang Wusen, was paralyzed with grief beside him, weeping bitterly. One moment he mourned his son, and the next, he cried out for his brother to avenge Huang Mingshan. In the great hall of the Huang family, only his voice echoed.

Suddenly, a group of people walked in from outside the door. Leading them was none other than Chen Benhong.

Seeing Chen Benhong come in, Huang Wusen was the first to leap up. He rushed to the door, grabbed Chen Benhong’s collar, and cursed, ”Chen Benhong, you son of a bitch, how dare you come to the Huang family? What did you say when you took my son out? You said you’d keep him safe; that nothing would happen to him. Now, my son is dead, and what about you? You’re fucking alive and well. Is this your idea of keeping my son safe?”

Chen Benhong was angry inside. In Capital City, Huang Wusen was of such low status that Chen Benhong usually didn’t even notice him.

But Huang Wuyan was right there, sitting. This Ninth on the Heavenly List was not someone Chen Benhong could afford to underestimate. So, faced with Huang Wusen, he dared not get angry, he could only sigh and said softly, ”Uncle Huang, I didn’t want this to happen. Who could have expected that this Su family bastard would be so vile and despicable, ambushing Brother Huang on the way? My relationship with Brother Huang was as close as real brothers; his death by Su’s stealthy attack has left me in deep sorrow as well!”

”You still have the nerve to fart around!” Huang Wusen raged, ”Chen Benhong, I’ve heard all about it; it was you who sent my son to Pingnan Province, to capture Su Yang’s relatives and friends, which led to him being ambushed and killed by Su Yang. You knew that Su was targeting my son, yet you still sent him to Pingnan Province, making him take the risk. Wasn’t that deliberately sending him to his death? And you have the face to say these righteous words?”

”Uncle Huang, you’re wronging me!” Chen Benhong said anxiously, ”I originally didn’t want to do this, but Brother Huang insisted on it. He felt that instead of always being ambushed by Su in the shadows, it would be better to cut through the mess swiftly, capture Su Yang’s relatives and friends, and completely resolve this matter, which is why he was adamant about going to Pingnan Province!”
