Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1582: Chapter 1581: Trapped

Su Yang stood among the crowd, watching as the Great Elder and Second Elder were surrounded by the people from Horizon’s End, and couldn’t help but smile to himself.

These two, ultimately, have fallen into the trap.

In Su Yang’s plan to support Fan Yangxiu’s rise to power, the first step was to deal with these three elders.

However, these three elders had indeed been operating within the Innate Sect for a long time, and they still had many supporters.

If Fan Yangxiu were to kill them, his position as Sect Master would not be secure.

And if Su Yang’s alliance killed them, it would be difficult to ally with the Innate Sect later.

So, the best method was to have the people from Horizon’s End kill these two. This way, both Fan Yangxiu and Su Yang’s alliance could remain uninvolved, making it easier to be accepted by these elders’ subordinates later.

In fact, the people from Horizon’s End understood the situation. They knew that killing these two would surely provoke discontent among certain members of the Innate Sect. However, they had no choice but to do so.

If they didn’t act and let Fan Yangxiu do it, whether Fan Yangxiu could become the Innate Sect’s Sect Master would be uncertain.

However, if they didn’t kill these two, the matters within Innate Sect would remain unresolved.

Su Yang’s side, with members from five sects, was engaged in battle with members from the Four Great Sects, forcing them to quickly resolve the Innate Sect situation.

So, they had no choice but to kill these two first. As for the opposition from their followers later, they could deal with those followers then.

In their view, they could afford the cost of reducing Innate Sect’s strength by twenty percent. But, regardless, they needed to quickly gain control of the Innate Sect; they simply couldn’t afford much time for a gradual approach.

These people never knew of Su Yang’s plan; otherwise, they would never have done this.

The two elders were quickly surrounded by Horizon’s End. Their skills weren’t weak but merely matched the strength of the two protectors of Horizon’s End, whose experts were numerous, causing them to immediately fall behind without any power to resist.

The two elders were already extremely anxious, and as they fell behind, they became even more so, hurriedly looking toward Su Yang’s side, hoping for aid.

However, when they turned to look, they found that Su Yang had already disappeared.

Not only Su Yang but also his followers were gone.

This made the two elders even more anxious; their strength was far inferior to Fan Yangxiu’s side. If it weren’t for Su Yang’s instigation, they wouldn’t have engaged in battle. Now that they’ve acted, Su Yang has vanished, leaving them to suffer.

Initially, the two were merely anxious but didn’t react much, only looking around the crowd hurriedly for Su Yang and his people. Although they didn’t find them, they still harbored a hint of hope, thinking Su Yang had started another plan to deal with Fan Yangxiu.

However, as the fight intensified and they both sustained injuries, with no response from Su Yang’s side, they finally couldn’t hold back.

”Alliance Leader Su! Alliance Leader Su!” The Second Elder was the first to shout: ”Save us, save us!”

There was no movement around them, and Horizon’s End immediately looked around cautiously, finding nothing.

Seeing this, the Great Elder also panicked and quickly called out, ”Alliance Leader Su, where are you?”

Still, there was no answer, and the people from Horizon’s End exchanged glances, laughing out loud.

”Alliance Leader Su?” the Left Protector was the first to laugh wildly: ”Are you two seeing illusions? It’s hard to even tell if that Su fellow is alive, let alone rescuing you. You’re dreaming!”

The two elders could no longer care about the ridicule from the Left Protector; Su Yang’s complete silence made them feel deceived.

”Alliance Leader Su, save us! Save us!” The Second Elder hastily shouted.

The Great Elder also urgently called, ”Alliance Leader Su, we followed your instructions, engaged them, and... where did you go?”

Still, no one answered, and the pair was utterly panicked, finally realizing that Su Yang had indeed led them astray.

The people from Horizon’s End had initially been a bit nervous, but seeing no response from around them, they became relaxed.

”Kill!” The Right Protector shouted in a deep voice.

The people from Horizon’s End immediately charged forward to fully besiege the two elders.

At this point, the two elders felt like dying was the only option; they couldn’t understand why Su Yang, who needed them to manage the Innate Sect, would betray them. What was Su Yang’s true plan?

The two continued to shout, but still no response came, as if Su Yang and his followers had never been there.

Yet the people from Horizon’s End were increasingly nervous due to the shouting, genuinely worried that Su Yang might bring helpers. Hence, they became even more ruthless, aiming to kill the two swiftly and bring a quick end to this affair!

Thus, the two elders were surrounded by the assailants, bombarded with numerous Secret Techniques, both sustaining severe injuries.

Seeing the situation turn dire, the Second Elder suddenly turned to look at Horizon’s End’s Left and Right Protectors, urgently offering, ”Don’t kill us, don’t kill us, we... We’ll work for you, we’ll follow your lead...”

Left and Right Protectors hesitated for a moment, feeling slightly uncertain, but quickly resumed their attack, leaving no chance for the elders to plead.

Though they wanted the elders to defect to their side, they couldn’t proceed this way. The hatred between Fan Yangxiu and the elders was only describable as irreconcilable. If they kept the elders alive, Fan Yangxiu wouldn’t agree and might even lead to Su Yang recruiting Fan Yangxiu.

Fan Yangxiu now has the support of most Innate Sect members, so provoking him over a small group of people following the elders would be an unwise move. Therefore, they pretended not to hear, attacking with full force, aiming to completely annihilate the elders.

The confidants of the two elders were blocked by Fan Yangxiu’s supporters; the two had no reinforcements, entirely passive.

Ultimately, the two elders couldn’t escape their fate, being surrounded and slain by Horizon’s End, tragically dying on the spot!
