Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1323: Chapter 1322: Kicking Someone When They’re Down

Upon hearing these matters, Su Yang faintly felt that the Destiny’s Tome he possessed might be somehow related to Su Zhan.

The Destiny Compass was engraved with the insights of the secret techniques cultivated by Su Zhan, while the Bronze Seal Script were fragments of the Destiny Compass. The content on these Bronze Seal Script pieces Su Yang obtained just happened to interpret and supplement the content of the Destiny’s Tome. If there were no connection between the two, that would truly be strange.

Now the key question is, what exactly is the relationship between the Destiny’s Tome and Su Zhan?

Of course, Su Yang couldn’t just directly ask. After learning about these matters, he was even less inclined to openly speak about the Destiny’s Tome.

The fragments of Su Zhan’s Destiny Compass were sought after by so many, so once the existence of the Destiny’s Tome is revealed, there’s no telling how many would target it.

Although Su Yang’s actions were often domineering, he was not foolish. He was well aware that his current strength was not enough to protect the Destiny’s Tome. Thus, he could only keep this matter to himself.

After musing for a while, Su Yang tentatively asked, ”Since Su Zhan hails from the Su Family of Yanbei, then the secret techniques he cultivated should be those of the Su Family. Wouldn’t the members of the Su Family have access to those secret techniques he practiced, without the need to compete over these Bronze Seal Script pieces?”

”You’re mistaken there!” Wu Daozi shook his head: ”In fact, the secret techniques that Su Zhan cultivated are wholly unrelated to the Su Family of Yanbei’s techniques. How to put it... The secret techniques Su Zhan practiced were particularly complex and multifaceted, encompassing nearly all aspects of Buddhism, Taoism, and even Demon paths. He also delved into many fields unrelated to cultivation, truly an all-rounded genius.”

Su Yang’s heart raced; weren’t the contents recorded in the Destiny’s Tome exactly the same? It had exhaustive records on every aspect, including long-lost artifacts. This completely matched Su Zhan’s cultivation practices!

”So what exactly were the secret techniques that Su Zhan cultivated?” asked Su Yang, astonished.

”That we do not know!” Wu Daozi shrugged, ”With him practising so many secret techniques, who could possibly list out every single one? Moreover, his expertise wasn’t limited to cultivation techniques. His proficiency in alchemy was also profound. The Medicine Sect’s acquisition of the two elixir recipes was a gift from his casual benevolence. It’s just unexpected that after he disappeared, the Medicine Sect’s ungrateful lot not only forgot his teachings but even did some utterly shameless things like kicking a man when he is down.”

”Kicking a man when he is down?” Su Yang was puzzled; no wonder the Black Widow had such a poor impression of the Medicine Sect.

Yuan Tiangang said, ”Su Zhan’s only son, due to an accident, suffered a head injury and became a simpleton. The Black Widow personally went to the Medicine Sect seeking medical help but was turned away at the door.”

Su Yang’s brows furrowed; if that was the case, those people of the Medicine Sect were indeed despicable.

Black Widow had told Su Yang about the Medicine Sect. When the Medicine Sect was in its most perilous state, even on the verge of being annihilated, it was Su Zhan who single-handedly opposed a whole sect to save the Medicine Sect. Afterward, he also taught them the methods to refine two types of elixirs, allowing the Medicine Sect to become one of the Ten Great Sects.

However, after Su Zhan disappeared, the Medicine Sect wouldn’t even treat Su Zhan’s only son. Such a sect is truly treacherous and utterly shameless!

Thinking about the likes of Wang Ding from the Medicine Sect, Su Yang’s impression of the Medicine Sect worsened even more. A sect like this is indeed a malignant tumor!

During this brief period of time, Su Yang became even more resolute in his determination to have a showdown with the Medicine Sect. No matter how strong the Medicine Sect might be, he wouldn’t be intimidated. The main concern, however, was how to bankrupt the Medicine Sect in one fell swoop.

”If you want to deal with the Medicine Sect, I have a suggestion for you,” Yuan Tiangang suddenly said: ”Informing Qinghe Academy about the methods to refine those three elixirs can indeed pull the rug from underneath the Medicine Sect. But that blow still isn’t strong enough. Once the Medicine Sect can no longer monopolize these three elixirs, they might just sell them at a low price and wouldn’t be completely destroyed. I’m just suggesting, how to do it is up to you to consider. Since you are a cunning fellow, I believe you have your own plan.”

Su Yang nodded slowly, Yuan Tiangang’s words made sense. To thoroughly deal with the Medicine Sect, indeed, another method was needed. But what would be the most suitable method?

After thinking for a while, Su Yang suddenly remembered Hu Xiexie and Huo Qianfang’s situations and quickly asked in urgency: ”What about the other sects among the Ten Great Sects?”

”They are all similar, not much difference!” Yuan Tiangang curled his lip: ”Initially, they said they would help us pick talents from Qinghe Academy to assist in the Heaven’s War. However, since Su Zhan’s disappearance, they haven’t really offered any help over the years. Especially this time, not a single one of the Ten Great Sects sent anyone over, damn it!”

Su Yang couldn’t help feeling anxious: ”What about Jade Maiden Peak and Thousand Snow Palace?”

”You’re talking about Hu Xiexie and Huo Qianfang,” Wu Daozi said: ”Don’t worry about that, Jade Maiden Peak just has many rules, but it’s all women inside, a bunch of rigid old demons. As long as you follow their rules, you won’t have any trouble. Also, those old demons are very protective of their own. If Hu Xiexie goes to Jade Maiden Peak, she won’t be in any danger as long as she doesn’t interact with men.”

”As for Huo Qianfang, you worry even less,” Yuan Tiangang continued: ”Since Huo Yuanzhen sent her to Thousand Snow Palace, she must have her plans. The Great Elder of Thousand Snow Palace is Su Zhan’s father-in-law. And Su Zhan, along with Ye Jiansheng, Lian Wanxiong, and Huo Yuanzhen, had profound relationships. Although Su Zhan is gone, this Great Elder still takes good care of these people. Ye Jiansheng visited Thousand Snow Palace three times and was personally received by the Great Elder.”

”Is that so?” Su Yang breathed a sigh of relief; with this, he needn’t worry anymore.

”In fact, if Su Zhan hadn’t disappeared, Ye Jiansheng and Su Zhan would have become relatives by marriage,” Yuan Tiangang said with a smile: ”Su Zhan hit it off with Ye Jiansheng as soon as they met. Though Su Zhan was a decade older than Ye Jiansheng, within the Earth Immortals, such an age difference isn’t worth mentioning. Moreover, both were extraordinary geniuses. At that time, Ye Jiansheng had just made a name for himself, and Su Zhan gave him much guidance, so the two arranged a marriage between their children. Ye Jiansheng’s daughter, Ye Wantong, was supposed to marry Su Zhan’s son. Unfortunately, after Su Zhan disappeared, his son turned into an idiot, and the current Family Head of the Su Family of Yanbei called off this marriage.”

”Called off?” Su Yang expressed his surprise: ”No, Chen Benhao even went to Pingnan Province before, saying that he wanted to continue the marriage alliance between the Su Family of Yanbei and the Ye Family!”
