Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1567: Chapter 1566: Cunning Great Elder

”Alliance Leader Su is truly a promising young man, outstanding and remarkable!” The Great Elder approached with a familiar demeanor, warmly clasping Su Yang’s hand: ”Old me and Mr. Su Zhan have been dear friends for years. When such things happen to Mr. Su Zhan, I’ve felt deep sorrow. Unexpectedly, after so many years, I can still see Mr. Su Zhan’s descendant, which is a great comfort to me in life!”

Faced with the Great Elder’s politeness, Su Yang’s heart was filled with cold laughter. Back at Qinghe Academy, he was constantly shouting support for Su Huo, intending to take him to the Su Family of Yanbei for public judgment.

You speak so nicely about your good relations with Su Zhan, yet back at Qinghe Academy, why did you not support the Black Widow, but instead support Su Huo? All in all, wasn’t it just for the Destiny’s Tome, for your own benefit!

With such a person, Su Yang naturally wouldn’t bother to be courteous, especially since he wasn’t planning to cooperate with this old sly fox. The three Elders were just too cunning; Su Yang really didn’t trust forming an alliance with them.

”No need to be so polite, Great Elder!” Su Yang smiled lightly: ”My sister once said that the Great Elder takes extremely good care of the people of my Su Family!”

The Great Elder’s face was slightly embarrassed. After Su Zhan’s disappearance, the Black Widow wanted to take Su Ling out of the Su Family of Yanbei. For that, she sought help from many sects.

The Innate Sect, having once received favor from Su Zhan, was the second sect she approached after Medicine Sect.

However, the Great Elder of the Innate Sect didn’t show any face at all, not even letting the Black Widow enter the mountain. This, the Black Widow clearly informed Su Yang.

Now, when Su Yang brought this matter up again, it naturally pierced through the Great Elder’s hypocrisy.

”Ahem...” The Great Elder coughed lightly and once again piled his face with a smile: ”Alliance Leader Su, this time negotiating with the Heavenly Court, with just your strength, you thwarted their plot, which is indeed a matter of saving all living beings. I, on behalf of all the living beings, thank you, Alliance Leader Su!”

”You’re being too polite, Great Elder!” Su Yang maintained a faint smile and remained tepid toward the Great Elder. This person was too cunning, and Su Yang was too lazy to say much nonsense to him.

”Great Elder must have heard the reason for my visit to the Innate Sect this time.” Su Yang smiled slightly: ”I wonder what opinions Great Elder might have about this alliance matter?”

”I naturally fully support Alliance Leader Su!” The Great Elder quickly replied: ”Back then, Mr. Su Zhan had been incredibly generous to our Innate Sect. Alliance Leader Su is Mr. Su Zhan’s son, so your affairs are his affairs. Mr. Su Zhan’s affairs, we will definitely support fully!”

”So, this means the Great Elder is very willing to ally with us?” Su Yang asked with a smile.

”Of course!” The Great Elder quickly replied: ”I’ve come this time precisely to talk about the alliance with Alliance Leader Su. Alliance Leader Su, the three of us are absolutely supporting you, we wholly agree to the alliance!”

Su Yang laughed: ”Oh, so the alliance can be considered established then?”

”Naturally!” The Great Elder immediately laughed, but soon sighed, speaking softly: ”It’s just that lately there has been some turmoil inside the Innate Sect. The three of us speaking alone can’t represent the opinion of the entire Innate Sect. To truly form the alliance, at the very least, our words within the Innate Sect must fully represent its sentiments, only then can the alliance be established!”

Su Yang maintained a faint smile on his face, yet cursed inwardly how sly this old man was. He said so much, but it really meant that to establish the alliance, they must first suppress the internal chaos within the Innate Sect. Moreover, they’d have to gain control over the Innate Sect to fully form the alliance.

After all, what it truly meant was getting Su Yang to first help them gain control over the Innate Sect, and then talk about the alliance, which was typical empty-handed promises.

Besides, with these three being so cunning, once Su Yang really helps them gain control over the Innate Sect, the alliance might not be so easy to negotiate. On the contrary, once they truly control the Innate Sect, and there’s no one else with a say, without competitors, Su Yang would be even less able to handle them. By then, if they disagree to the alliance, Su Yang wouldn’t be able to do anything at all!

Su Yang, of course, wouldn’t trust these ungrateful people.

”Internal matters of the Innate Sect remain household affairs; as outsiders, we’re not in a convenient position to intervene!” Su Yang said softly.

The Great Elder’s expression slightly changed, he’d said so much just to hint at Su Yang assisting them. Su Yang now clearly declared his unwillingness to support them!

The three Elders exchanged a look; the Second Elder spoke softly: ”Alliance Leader Su, have you received any news?”

”What news?” Su Yang asked.

”About Fan Yangxiu!” The Second Elder spoke softly.

Fan Yangxiu was the son of the former Sect Master Fan Tianyuan, and the one returning to contend with the current Sect Master for control of the Innate Sect.

”His affairs?” Su Yang asked curiously: ”What matters?”

”Fan Yangxiu has very close ties with Horizon’s End!” The Second Elder said gravely: ”We even suspect that during his years of wandering, he has been hiding with Horizon’s End. His current strength is entirely cultivated by Horizon’s End.”

”Oh?” Su Yang felt slightly surprised; they had previously suspected Fan Yangxiu had connections with the Heavenly Court. Unexpectedly, this matter was linked to Horizon’s End.

”We’ve already gathered enough information; Fan Yangxiu absolutely has Horizon’s End standing behind him!” The Second Elder said gravely: ”His return this time, seizing the Sect Master position, must be orchestrated by Horizon’s End!”

Su Yang glanced at the Second Elder; this person intended to make Su Yang lose hope in Fan Yangxiu, leaving him no choice but to side with them.

However, the Second Elder didn’t know that Su Yang had long known Fan Yangxiu’s connections with the Heavenly Court. His words now did not significantly change Su Yang’s stance.

The reason Su Yang didn’t choose these three was because they weren’t trustworthy or easy to control. Su Yang sought an alliance where everyone truly worked together and strictly adhered to promises. These three weren’t trustworthy, and hence not whom Su Yang sought!

Of course, Su Yang maintained a shocked appearance: ”Is this true? Fan Yangxiu was really sent by Horizon’s End?”

”This, we can absolutely guarantee!” The Second Elder boasted with a full face of pride: ”We have concrete evidence!”

”Is that so?” Su Yang thought for a moment and said: ”But, Horizon’s End is quite familiar to me. Those people are very arrogant and self-centered; how would they have agreed to help Fan Yangxiu twenty years ago?”
