Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1606: Chapter 1605 Zhang Congwen

The Black Widow looked at Su Yang and continued, ”However, among these people, most can be excluded. The Beigong War God and Mahakasyapa definitely wouldn’t do this, and the Martial Champion wouldn’t get involved in such matters. The three overseas are also essentially outside the scope of consideration. So, there are only four people left who could have done this.”

Su Yang knew that the four people the Black Widow mentioned were the Jade-Faced Judge, Qi Zhishan, and the two from the Martial Champion Family.

”Qi Zhishan wouldn’t do this!” Su Yang said directly, considering Qi Zhishan still as a friend, and Qi Zhishan certainly wouldn’t strike against him.

”So, there are only three people left,” the Black Widow said. ”Either it’s the Jade-Faced Judge, or it’s the two from the Martial Champion’s side. But you should have an answer in your heart by now, right?”

Su Yang nodded, ”Actually, I think it’s very likely that the Jade-Faced Judge is responsible for this. However, I still want to make sure at the end.”

”Why?” the Black Widow asked curiously.

”I want to know how much the Jade-Faced Judge has meddled in this matter!” Su Yang whispered, ”The rules of heaven and earth haven’t changed, and logically, the Jade-Faced Judge’s rule still exists. This time, it’s the Four Great Sects and the Su Family of Yanbei planning to kill me. It’s a big deal. If I die, the rules of heaven and earth might actually change. Logically, the Jade-Faced Judge surely wouldn’t want these rules to change. But why are they still involved in this affair?”

The Black Widow’s brow furrowed slightly, surprised, looking at Su Yang, ”You think the Jade-Faced Judge has an issue?”

Su Yang nodded, not only suspecting the Jade-Faced Judge but believing they have too many problems.

Now, the Jade-Faced Judge is intertwined with the Medicine Sect, but the problem is that the affair among the Four Great Sects, Su Yang, and even the Heavenly Court is essentially a battle of immortals, so why would a mortal get involved?

If previously the rules of heaven and earth were possibly going to change and the Jade-Faced Judge needed protection from the Medicine Sect, being entwined with them made some sense. But now that the rules have been maintained, the Jade-Faced Judge’s involvement in this incident leads Su Yang to doubt whether the Jade-Faced Judge has other intentions.

Of course, to further confirm his judgment, Su Yang still needs to completely verify whether this incident was indeed the Jade-Faced Judge’s doing.

Leaving Su Ze behind serves two purposes: one to pressure the Su Family of Yanbei to disclose the truth, and secondly to exert pressure on them. Meanwhile, Su Yang genuinely doesn’t plan to let Su Ze go. This person is too ruthless and extremely dangerous, and with Su Tianhao dead like this, there’s no guarantee Su Ze won’t do something reckless.

The feud between Su Yang and Su Huo’s branch is beyond reconciliation, and since this is the case, Su Yang doesn’t plan to spare these people. He intends to thoroughly eliminate Su Huo’s branch.

Upon returning to Capital City, Su Yang had someone bring Su Ze back to be confined, while he took a few people and went directly to the Zhang Family. The excuse was to visit the Martial Champion, but actually, it was to probe and see if the Zhang Family was involved in the matter.

This was Su Yang’s first visit to the Zhang Family of the Martial Champion, but now Su Yang’s status was far superior to before.

He was once just a nouveau riche coming from a poor family, later considered the son of a traitor, and scorned by countless people.

But now, everything was clear. Su Yang is Su Zhan’s son, and also the Alliance Hierarch of Qinghe Academy, making his status and position rise significantly. Coming to the Zhang Family again, he naturally received different treatment.

At the entrance of the Zhang Family, someone was notified, and soon, a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties personally led people out to greet him.

This middle-aged man looked honest and straightforward, and dressed simply, resembling an ordinary worker.

However, Su Yang clearly saw that the highly esteemed Young Master Zhang Seven, and the domineering Young Master Zhang Eight, stood respectfully behind this middle-aged man. This demonstrated that the identity of this middle-aged man was unquestionable!

Accompanying Su Yang were two people from Qinghe Academy, Yuan Tiangang and Wu Daozi. They approached Su Yang and whispered, ”Zhang Congwen, the head of the Zhang Family, the eldest son of the Martial Champion. This person seldom leaves the Zhang Family, but in the Zhang Family, his status is second only to the Martial Champion!”

Su Yang suddenly understood, finally realizing the identity of this middle-aged man. No wonder Young Master Zhang Seven and Young Master Zhang Eight were so respectful; this was their leader.

However, this Zhang Congwen seemed much more low-key. He dressed modestly, appeared ordinary, and even his aura lacked the slightest hint of power. If Yuan Tiangang and Wu Daozi hadn’t told him about this matter, he probably wouldn’t have known this person was the leader of this generation of the Zhang Family.

At this moment, Zhang Congwen already approached, cupped his hands and said, ”Didn’t know Alliance Leader Su would visit my humble abode, my lack of proper welcome, please excuse me!”

”You’re too kind, sir!” Su Yang responded with a gentle smile, ”It’s late at night and I’m interrupting, hope the gentleman can forgive!”

”Alliance Leader Su visiting the Zhang Family is an honor for us, not at all an interruption!” Zhang Congwen smiled, bowed slightly, and said, ”Alliance Leader Su, please!”

”Please!” Su Yang responded with a faint smile, walking side by side with Zhang Congwen into the Zhang Family Courtyard.

The Zhang Family Courtyard in Capital City is a relatively rare old residence, and compared with other families who light up brightly, here, only a few small lamps illuminate at night, and that’s all.

However, this also makes the whole Zhang Family Courtyard appear particularly ancient and simple.

Zhang Congwen ushered Su Yang and others into the lounge, served tea, exchanged a few pleasantries, then Su Yang went straight to the point.

”Sir, have you heard about the duel tonight between me and Su Tianhao of the Su Family of Yanbei?” Su Yang asked.

”I’ve heard bits and pieces!” Zhang Congwen nodded, ”However, Alliance Leader Su also knows, these internal family affairs are personal matters. Our Zhang Family has always been impartial towards other families’ affairs, so we didn’t send anyone to watch the confrontation. I’m not aware of the outcome. I met with Su Tianhao in his early years, his talent indeed paled slightly compared to Alliance Leader Su. With Alliance Leader Su’s strength, defeating Su Tianhao should not be difficult, right?”

”Quite the opposite!” Su Yang shook his head, ”Tonight’s duel, I almost lost my life!”

”Oh?” Zhang Congwen looked at Su Yang with surprise, ”Alliance Leader Su, what do you mean by that?”

Su Yang didn’t hide anything and recounted how Su Tianhao used an elixir to share strength with others.

Zhang Congwen may seem simple and low-profile, but in reality, he is very insightful. After listening to Su Yang, he immediately grasped his meaning, and his brow furrowed slightly.
