Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1423: Chapter 1422: Rules Are Changing

Su Yang got up and walked to the window, silently looking in the direction of the Martial Champion Zhang Family.

In the whole event, what he couldn’t understand the most was the reaction from the Martial Champion’s side.

Last night, when the Su Family of Yanbei attacked him, Old Zhang the Seventh and Old Zhang the Eighth showed up but were called back by the Martial Champion, which led to the success of Su Yang’s plan.

Tonight, Old Zhang the Seventh and Old Zhang the Eighth were originally planning to cause trouble again, but they were called back by the Martial Champion. Not only that, the Martial Champion also spoke a few words on behalf of Su Yang, which made Su Yang even more puzzled.

What exactly does the Martial Champion mean, does he actually plan to support Su Yang?

However, Su Yang is clearly siding with Black Widow now. Aren’t the Martial Champion and Black Widow in a competitive relationship? What is the meaning behind the Martial Champion’s actions?

Could it be that the Martial Champion changed his mind because of Qinghe Academy?

But, Su Yang always felt that was unlikely. Although Qinghe Academy is powerful, the Martial Champion does not fear them!

After pondering for a while, Su Yang still couldn’t figure out the reason. He gathered his things and left the manor under the moonlight, heading straight for Black Widow’s building.

Upon arriving at Black Widow’s place, Su Yang saw Zi Nu standing at the entrance from afar.

”Young Master, my master has been waiting for you for a long time!” Zi Nu bowed slightly.

Su Yang nodded and followed Zi Nu to Black Widow’s attic.

Black Widow was still wearing that snow-white gown, standing on the balcony and quietly looking at the moonlit sky, as if pondering something.

”Master, Young Master Su has arrived!” After Zi Nu spoke, she bowed and withdrew.

Black Widow turned around, glanced at Su Yang, and casually waved, ”Sit down!”

Su Yang didn’t stand on ceremony and sat on the sofa.

Black Widow walked over and sat down opposite Su Yang, staring at him for a while, and softly said, ”How are things?”

”Everything is normal!” Su Yang nodded.

”Were you confused by the Martial Champion’s reaction?” Black Widow asked.

Su Yang nodded, which was also his reason for coming here.

”Qinghe Academy has returned earlier,” Black Widow said. ”Their negotiations with the Ten Great Sects were very unpleasant and could even be described as discordant.”

”Negotiating what?” Su Yang asked curiously. ”Wasn’t it said that they would hand over the students to the Ten Great Sects? What else is there to discuss?”

Black Widow picked up the red wine from the table, took a sip, and said, ”They were discussing the matters concerning the rules of heaven and earth!”

”Rules of heaven and earth?” Su Yang was astonished. ”Is that... something they should discuss?”

The rules of heaven and earth, aren’t those established by the Heavenly Court? When did it become the turn of the Ten Great Sects and Qinghe Academy to discuss?

”The rules of heaven and earth are going to change!” Black Widow said softly. ”The Martial Champion also needs to prepare for the imminent changes!”

”What rules of heaven and earth?” Su Yang asked in astonishment, ”What is it going to become?”

Black Widow glanced at Su Yang and did not answer directly, but softly said, ”In the future, the status of the disciples from the Ten Great Sects and those from the major families outside the world will soar significantly. Therefore, many worldly families with informed sources are now eager to send their descendants into the Ten Great Sects or these prominent families!”

Su Yang thought of Ge Kaiyang, who caused so much trouble in the Capital City; could it be that he did so to enter the Ten Great Sects?

”You mean, the Martial Champion also wants to send his descendants into the Ten Great Sects?” Su Yang frowned.

”Not necessarily,” Black Widow shook her head, ”However, he doesn’t want to create too much conflict with the Ten Great Sects or those powerful families outside the world. That much is true.”

”Are you referring to Qinghe Academy?” Su Yang asked.

”The matter this time is quite complicated, the Martial Champion has already planned to withdraw!” Black Widow didn’t answer Su Yang directly and said softly, ”This old fox, who has lived for so many years, is smarter and more cunning than anyone.”

Su Yang still couldn’t understand the situation well. He didn’t know what role Qinghe Academy had played amidst these changes in the rules of heaven and earth.

Since Black Widow didn’t answer directly, Su Yang didn’t push further. He knew there must be something they didn’t want him to know, which was why Black Widow avoided the topic.

”So, you mean that in the coming period, the Martial Champion isn’t a concern?” Su Yang said.

”That’s correct,” said Black Widow. ”However, we still need to be cautious, as no one knows what kind of tricks this old fox might have up his sleeves.”

Su Yang slowly nodded, feeling wary of the Martial Champion. This person concealed himself deeply, surrounded by numerous legends, yet he allowed Su Yang and Black Widow to stir up trouble in the Capital City and even Lü Donglin stirred up much trouble here without intervention, which demonstrated the depth of his schemes.

”People from the Medicine Sect will arrive in the Capital City by the day after tomorrow at the latest, possibly even tomorrow,” said Black Widow gravely. ”And I have some matters to attend to in the next few days; I might have to leave the Capital City for a while. You might have to face the Medicine Sect alone then!”

Su Yang glanced at Black Widow, having a rough idea of what she was going to do. There must be some disturbances with the Su Family of Yanbei, and Black Widow was planning to go and rescue her brother.

”Do you need help?” Su Yang asked, feeling somewhat guilty toward descendants like Su Zhan after his conversation with the Owner of Xiao Huang. He didn’t know if his father had wronged them, so he could only try his best to mend things.

Black Widow glanced at Su Yang and smiled gently, ”Your survival is the best help you could provide me!”

Su Yang smiled too, knowing full well that with the Medicine Sect coming, his survival was indeed uncertain!

”This is still the Capital City after all!” Su Yang laughed.

”But, the Medicine Sect has the Ten Great Sects with them!” Black Widow pointed out.

”The Ten Great Sects won’t all support the Medicine Sect,” Su Yang said with a light laugh. ”Perhaps, this time might mark the end of the Medicine Sect.”

”Let’s hope so!” Black Widow nodded slowly and after a pause, softly said, ”If you really must, you can take refuge in Qinghe Academy, and they will protect you.”

Su Yang didn’t comment, knowing full well that Qinghe Academy would protect him. But, what troubles would his presence bring to Qinghe Academy?

The agreement between the Ten Great Sects and Qinghe Academy was nearly void, and their recent negotiations ended on a sour note, showing the strained relations between them.

If Su Yang really had to take refuge in Qinghe Academy under desperate circumstances, that would mean drawing the battle lines to Qinghe Academy.

In this matter, Su Yang could utilize the power of Qinghe Academy, but he would definitely not allow Qinghe Academy to engage in a deadly battle with the Ten Great Sects just for his sake!
