Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1488: Chapter 1487 Setting Off

Teacher Kong took out a bottle of elixir and handed it to Su Yang, while also revealing the formula for the elixir to him.

This surprised Su Yang quite a bit. He originally thought it would be good enough just to receive the elixir itself, but he didn’t expect Teacher Kong to be so generous as to directly give him the formula.

In truth, however, this type of elixir was not particularly valuable to Teacher Kong. In fact, Teacher Kong had always considered this elixir to be rather unnecessary.

Without power, one naturally becomes indistinguishable from common folk. The problem, however, is that situations requiring the use of this kind of elixir are exceptionally rare. Moreover, losing one’s power is an extremely dangerous condition; most people wouldn’t risk it lightly.

After obtaining the elixir and map, Su Yang left Qinghe Academy.

Initially, Su Yang had planned to consult Lü Donglin to see if there was any possible solution on his end. However, his trip to Qinghe Academy made him realize that rescuing the Black Widow would be anything but simple.

Leaving aside whether Lü Donglin had any solutions, even if he did, involving Lü Donglin would mean dragging him into the matter.

This was Su Yang’s responsibility, and he didn’t want Lü Donglin to be implicated because of it.

Besides, after leaving Qinghe Academy, Su Yang already had a plan of his own in mind.

Upon returning to the Shen Family Courtyard, Old Wang the Second and the other two men were already waiting for him there.

Old Wang the Second was the most worried of the group. He owed his life to Su Zhan, who had saved him, so he felt it was his absolute duty to risk his life to save another.

As for Li Fangming and Yue Zhanzhong, those two had been rescued by Old Wang the Second. The fact that they possessed their current level of skill was due in no small part to his rigorous training. Their loyalty to Old Wang the Second was unwavering.

This time, Old Wang the Second had clearly explained the risks to them, even urging them to leave and not get involved. Yet, both of them adamantly refused and insisted on staying by Old Wang the Second’s side for the mission to the Su Family of Yanbei.

Seeing the trio, Su Yang couldn’t help but think of Su An’s betrayal of Su Zhan, sending a fresh wave of shame through his heart. If Su An truly was his father, Su Ping, he wouldn’t even know how to face it all.

”How did it go?” Old Wang the Second hurriedly stepped forward to ask as soon as Su Yang returned. He wasn’t aware of the guilt Su Yang was grappling with inside; his only concern was whether there was a way to save the Black Widow.

Su Yang flashed the map in his hand. ”This is the map of the Su Family of Yanbei. Study it carefully. I already have an initial plan, but we’ll have to adjust based on the circumstances when the time comes.”

Old Wang the Second was overjoyed and eagerly took the map, exclaiming, ”That’s great! When do we depart?”

”We leave shortly!” Su Yang paused, then looked at Li Fangming and Yue Zhanzhong standing nearby. ”The two of them can’t come.”

”Why not?” The two immediately protested. ”We’re not afraid to die!”

”I know you’re not afraid!” Su Yang said. ”This isn’t about fear; it’s about the plan. Our mission to infiltrate the Su Family of Yanbei must be conducted in utmost secrecy. You two are usually stationed at the Shen Family Courtyard for patrolling duties. If you suddenly disappear, word will spread quickly, and the Su Family of Yanbei will be on high alert. How would we accomplish anything under such scrutiny?”

The pair froze at his reasoning, then looked at Old Wang the Second.

Truth be told, Old Wang the Second himself didn’t want the two men to come along. He was well aware of how dangerous their journey to the Su Family of Yanbei would be. Though the two of them were technically his subordinates, they were akin to brothers to him, and he couldn’t bear to see them risking their lives.

Now that the pair were staying behind, it was undoubtedly the best outcome. He decisively echoed, ”You two should stay in Capital City and be on guard for any unexpected situations!”

The pair exchanged looks with Su Yang and Old Wang the Second before reluctantly nodding in agreement.

Shortly thereafter, Su Yang finished making arrangements for matters in Capital City, and together with Old Wang the Second, he disguised himself and quietly left the Shen Family Courtyard.

Rather than heading to Capital City Airport, they slipped away under cover of night to the neighboring city. There, Su Yang had already arranged for a private plane waiting to transport them. The two boarded the plane and flew directly toward Yanbei.

During the flight, Su Yang and Old Wang the Second meticulously reviewed the map of the Su Family of Yanbei.

”What’s the plan?” Old Wang the Second asked.

”The first step is to locate her!” Su Yang replied.

”Makes sense!” Old Wang the Second nodded. ”Then we should split up and enter from different points to carry out a thorough search.”

”No need,” Su Yang shook his head. ”I’ll go in alone!”

”What?” Old Wang the Second widened his eyes, looking at Su Yang incredulously. ”You’re going in alone? Are you kidding me?”

”I’m not joking.” Su Yang answered softly. ”I collaborated with Qinghe Academy to devise a plan, and I’m confident I can find her. Meanwhile, there’s something even more critical for you to do!”

”What is it?” Old Wang the Second asked.

”You need to stay on the outskirts of the Su Family of Yanbei and draw their experts away from the main estate!” Su Yang glanced at him. ”Of course, this is extremely dangerous. While you can remain outside the range of the Su Family of Yanbei’s Terrestrial Immortals, they have plenty of other skilled fighters who aren’t Terrestrial Immortals. Many among them might pursue you...”

”No problem!” Old Wang the Second replied without hesitation. ”I’ll do everything I can to buy time for you!”

Su Yang nodded; this task could only be entrusted to Old Wang the Second.

The fact was, both infiltrating the Su Family of Yanbei to rescue the Black Widow and distracting their experts outside were extraordinarily perilous missions. Only Su Yang and Old Wang the Second were suited for these roles; no one else could take on such high-stakes risks.

Before dawn, their plane landed near the Su Family of Yanbei.

Onboard, Su Yang had already thoroughly examined the Su Family of Yanbei’s map.

The so-called Su Family of Yanbei resided within a sprawling estate in the West Suburb of Yanbei.

This estate covered an area roughly the size of a small town and was enclosed within strong walls.

Of course, not all the residents within the estate belonged to the Su Family of Yanbei. In fact, the majority didn’t bear the surname Su.

That said, it was the Su family members who wielded absolute control over the estate. The rest of the inhabitants generally fell into three categories.

The first category comprised individuals recruited by the Su Family, such as wandering masters and mercenaries, who enjoyed a relatively high status as guest retainers within the family hierarchy.

The second category included those who had committed crimes elsewhere and taken refuge at the Su Family of Yanbei’s estate. Here, they benefited from the family’s protection but had to serve under their command, thus holding a slightly lower status than the guest retainers.
