Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1469: Chapter 1468: Shocking the Capital City

Old Zhang Ba said in a deep voice, ”I investigated the situation nearby; it should be the work of those from the Jade-Faced Judge’s side.”

Young Master Zhang glanced at Old Zhang Ba and said solemnly, ”Our array isn’t something that just anyone can tamper with. Are you sure it’s someone from the Jade-Faced Judge’s side?”

”Their aura was at the scene, without a doubt,” Old Zhang Ba replied.

Young Master Zhang’s frown deepened, and he spoke gravely, ”It seems that a master has indeed come. Could it be the Ghost King San Yan, who has been in seclusion with the Jade-Faced Judge for a long time?”

”Ghost King San Yan?” Old Zhang Ba’s expression also changed; he had once fought San Yan and suffered a loss, so he naturally knew the strength of this person.

”Didn’t he go into seclusion with the Jade-Faced Judge? If he’s come out, then... then the Jade-Faced Judge...” Old Zhang Ba looked at Young Master Zhang in astonishment.

Young Master Zhang nodded slowly, ”It’s very likely that the Jade-Faced Judge has also come out of seclusion!”

”Ah?” Old Zhang Ba’s expression changed again. He frowned tightly and said in a deep voice, ”Previously, Black and White Impermanence brought the Hell Ghost Soldiers to the Capital City, and now the Ghost King San Yan has come as well. What exactly is the Jade-Faced Judge planning? Do they want to occupy the Capital City’s territory?”

Young Master Zhang shook his head, ”To them, things like territory are not important anymore. Only sufficient profit can draw them out!”

”These people are all gathering in the Capital City, what exactly do they want to do?” Old Zhang Ba angrily said, ”Father is still in the Capital City, yet they dare to storm in recklessly. Are they not afraid of Father?”

”The rules of heaven and earth are changing. While we’re keeping a low profile, they are also looking for opportunities,” Young Master Zhang said softly. ”The Jade-Faced Judge is extremely adept at maneuvering; his arrival in the Capital City must be in search of some opportunity. I need to inform Father, we can’t let these small fries run amok in the Capital City!”

”Right!” Old Zhang Ba said excitedly, ”After all, this is the Zhang Family’s territory. If anyone can just break in, where would the Zhang Family’s dignity go?”

Young Master Zhang did not discuss the issues of territory with Old Zhang Ba. His mind was more focused on why the Jade-Faced Judge had come to the Capital City and what he was up to.

...

It wasn’t until the next morning that members of the major families in the Capital City were quietly discussing the result of the battle that took place at the North Mountain Summit last night.

Of course, almost everyone believed that Su Yang was doomed. The critical question was how Su Yang would die and how many people on Su Yang’s side would perish, which was what everyone was concerned about.

Moreover, it was also a topic of curiosity how Lü Donglin, Xue Nu, the Drunken Monk, and Happy Monk, who went to support Su Yang, would fare in the end.

Although these people were strong, when facing the Medicine Sect from the Ten Great Sects, did their background still matter?

Before everyone could come to a conclusion, people from Su Yang’s side had already come forward and boldly announced the battle’s outcome from last night. Su Yang’s side lost a dozen people, but the Medicine Sect also lost a dozen, ultimately leading to the Medicine Sect’s humiliating retreat!

This result left everyone dumbfounded. This outcome was completely outside the realm of their expectations. Everyone was contemplating the disastrous defeat of Su Yang’s side, but who would have thought that the true defeat was that of the Medicine Sect!

The Medicine Sect, one of the Ten Great Sects, had joined forces with Soaring Cloud Pavilion’s Heavenly Blade Peak and Horizon’s End to confront Su Yang, yet in the end, Su Yang achieved a great victory?

Who would have thought of this result? Or rather, who could accept it?

However, this result was announced by Su Yang’s side, and with Su Yang himself coming out to prove he was alive and well, people had no choice but to start believing that the victory could very well belong to Su Yang. Otherwise, how could Su Yang still be alive?

While people didn’t know much about the Medicine Sect, they were very certain. If the Medicine Sect had been victorious, Su Yang could not possibly be alive!

Subsequently, a family with a good relationship with the Ten Great Sects released some information, roughly describing the situation of the battle at the North Mountain Summit. Only then did everyone understand last night’s battle and its results. They now completely understood that the battle indeed ended with a massive victory for Su Yang’s side!

Though everyone found it hard to accept this result, they had to come to terms with it as it stood before them.

Of course, most people were relieved. They were lucky not to have gotten involved in the battle between Su Yang and the Medicine Sect; otherwise, the outcome for them would have been unimaginable.

As for those dozen families who did participate in the battle, they didn’t wait for Su Yang to speak. They left the Capital City immediately, many not even bothering to pack their belongings, taking only some money and fleeing. As for their properties and foundations, they had no mood to care about them at this time; preserving their lives was most critical.

If the previous battle at Zilan Manor made the Capital City families reluctantly coexist peacefully with Su Yang, without thinking of opposing him, then last night’s battle at North Mountain Summit completely solidified Su Yang’s standing in the Capital City.

One could say that after the North Mountain Summit battle, Su Yang’s status in the Capital City shot up to the level of the Martial Champion and Black Widow. No one dared to provoke Su Yang anymore. If even the Ten Great Sects couldn’t deal with Su Yang, who dared to try and touch him? It would be courting death!

The people on Su Yang’s side were also extremely joyful, as most of them went into the battle against the Medicine Sect with the resolve to die. No one expected the outcome to be like this.

Especially the Han Family, Shi Family, and Tang Family people, who were fully prepared to die at that time. But Su Yang unexpectedly turned the tide, which they completely did not anticipate. After this battle, the status of these three families in the Capital City climbed once again.

It’s enough to say that after the dozen families fled, all their businesses were handed over to these three families by Su Yang. After dividing these businesses, the strength of the three families rapidly developed, almost being able to contend with the Ten Great Families, showing how much benefit they gained.

The three families are now extremely thrilled, realizing that choosing to ally with Su Yang was the most correct decision they ever made!

Previously, there were seventeen families on Su Yang’s side; now only three remain, while the other fourteen families are filled with extreme regret for missing such a great opportunity.

However, this joy didn’t last long. The next night, the dean of Qinghe Academy sought out Su Yang and told him nearly disastrous news.
