Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1425: Chapter 1424: The Grudges of the Previous Generation

What surprised Young Master Zhang Qee was precisely what surprised Su Yang as well.

When Su Yang heard Black Widow’s words, he too was very curious. He couldn’t understand how Qinghe Academy and the Ten Great Sects had the credentials to change the rules set by the Heavenly Court!

Martial Champion whispered, ”How do you know the Heavenly Court doesn’t want to change these rules?”

”The rules set by the Heavenly Court themselves, they want to change?” Young Master Qee said in astonishment: ”If these rules are changed and Law Enforcers are lost, wouldn’t the Heavenly Court’s control over the mortal realm weaken? Would the Heavenly Court really be willing to do this?”

”Then how do you know that this rule isn’t a shackle to the Heavenly Court?” Martial Champion asked.

”What?” Young Master Qee was totally confused. How could the rules set by the Heavenly Court become their own shackles? Could it be that the Heavenly Court didn’t realize that once they changed these rules, they would completely lose control over the world? Didn’t the people of the Heavenly Court understand such reasoning?

”The matters of this world are not as simple as you think. There are many things I don’t tell you for your own good. You only know the surface of the Tian War incidents, unaware of the many things behind it,” Martial Champion spoke softly: ”All you need to do is remember what I said. During this time, the Zhang Family should keep a low profile and stay out of any affairs.”

Young Master Qee anxiously said: ”But right now, Su Yang is trying to devour the families under our control...”

”Let him be,” Martial Champion said: ”You don’t need to pay too much attention to this person; he won’t be able to jump around for much longer. Some people from the Medicine Sect were killed by him, and they will soon arrive in Capital City. This matter doesn’t require our involvement at all!”

Young Master Qee was first stunned, then overjoyed. He finally understood what his father meant—they could deal with Su Yang without a fight!

”Alright, then I’ll do as father said, keeping a low profile these days and steer clear of all matters!” Young Master Qee excitedly paid his respects and then slowly retreated.

Long after his departure, a soft sigh finally came from the thatched hut: ”Will you be able to overcome this hurdle?”

...

Qinghe Academy.

After Ancestor Li San was captured by the teachers of Qinghe Academy, he was directly taken away by the Dean and several senior members.

These people brought Ancestor Li San to the underground chamber, where eight Stone Coffins were laid out, everything was the same as when Su Yang entered.

Ancestor Li San was entering this place for the first time. Seeing these Stone Coffins, he couldn’t help but pause.

After all, he was a Terrestrial Immortal and much stronger than Su Yang. Upon entering, he immediately felt the strong aura emanating from the inside of these Stone Coffins. He didn’t know exactly what was inside the Stone Coffins, but their aura gave him a chilling sense of dread.

He had been ranting angrily at the people from Qinghe Academy all the way here, but once he entered this chamber, he became obedient immediately, not daring to utter a single word. The aura around him made him feel like an ant, completely devoid of any right to speak.

The Dean and others, upon entering, also appeared surprised. They exchanged glances and finally, their gaze fell simultaneously on Yuan Tiangang and Wu Daozi, who walked last.

These two old figures, however, acted as if nothing was wrong, grinning when everyone looked at them.

”It’s fine, only Su Yang has been in here!” Wu Daozi laughed heartily.

”This is ridiculous!” the Head of Discipline shouted angrily: ”What place is this, how can you allow him to enter?”

The other few also looked displeased at Wu Daozi, while the Dean appeared calm, seemingly indifferent to the situation.

”This kid has Four Divine Beast Jade Stones on him, and that Little Turtle too,” Yuan Tiangang said: ”Also, have you not seen the Secret Technique he cultivates? After entering, he has gained quite a lot of benefits here!”

”What exactly is the story with this person?” the Head of Discipline frowned and asked: ”Why is he able to cultivate the Secret Technique left behind by that person?”

The others were equally astonished, and Wu Daozi chuckled: ”I think we should not dwell on why he can cultivate it. What we need to consider now is, since he is able to cultivate, could he be the one we are looking for?”

”Who are we looking for?” an elder asked in surprise.

Yuan Tiangang gestured towards the eight Stone Coffins with a nod of his head, and everyone’s gaze turned toward them, their expressions changing.

After a moment of silence, the Head of Discipline said gravely: ”The origin of his Secret Technique is unclear; it is possible that he is a descendant of that person!”

”This matter, that dog-raiser has already gone to investigate,” Yuan Tiangang said: ”But I always feel that grievances of the past generation are their own issues. At the time of the incident, he was only a few years old, it’s unfair for him to shoulder these mistakes. The child has a good nature; if guided correctly, he has a lot of potential.”

”Hmph, you may forget the past events, but we cannot!” the Head of Discipline said angrily: ”Su Zhan was a hero throughout his life but met such an end, leaving his only son to become an imbecile. That’s a debt I can never forget!”

The others also showed angry faces. When it came to the matter of Su Zhan, they were equally stirred up.

”I know, but that child wasn’t the one who turned him into an imbecile,” Yuan Tiangang said: ”It was done by Su Tianhao. Why does it sound as though you’re blaming Su Yang?”

”If he is a descendant of that person, then he must bear an indisputable responsibility for this matter!” a man said with a stern voice.

”You... you’re being unreasonable!” Wu Daozi helplessly turned to the Dean: ”Dean, you should mediate this. You’ve also met this kid, he’s not bad. How can we hold him responsible for the mistakes of the past generation?”

The Dean had been silent but finally spoke up: ”Do you know how many people want to kill that person?”

”Too many!” Wu Daozi nodded: ”But that’s unrelated to Su Yang!”

”But if his father was killed by someone, do you think he would seek revenge?” the Dean asked in return.

”That...” Wu Daozi was suddenly at a loss for words. He and Yuan Tiangang looked at each other, speechless.

Indeed, given Su Yang’s personality, if his father was truly killed, would Su Yang really let it go?

The two of them also fell quiet. After finally finding such a person, why did it have to be this kind of situation? Why did he have to be the descendant of that person?

Ancestor Li San, listening on the sidelines, was thoroughly confused. Finally, he couldn’t resist asking: ”Who... who is this person you’re talking about?”

No one answered his question. Ancestor Li San thought for a while, then exclaimed in shock: ”Could it be... could it be him? Damn it, you... you’re actually helping the descendant of that person?”
