Chapter 1174: Chapter 1173 Spread the News

Su Yang flipped through the pages and gained a general understanding of the situation in Capital City.

Capital City had not been peaceful recently, starting with the opening of Qinghe Academy, where a group of powerful prodigals made their way to Qinghe Academy.

And those from Capital City, aware of Lü Donglin’s intention to go to Qinghe Academy, had been quietly scheming to deal with Lü Donglin.

Then, it was the incident at Qinghe Academy where Su Yang had severely injured Fang Ping, causing quite a stir in Capital City. After all, Fang Ping had died, and the Land Immortal of the Fang Family took matters into his own hands, even Young Master Qee had stepped in, making the issue widely known to all.

It was just that, the witnesses to the incident were either students of Qinghe Academy or members of the Fang Family. The Fang Family had locked down the information, so, the fact that Fang Mingyuan launched a sneak attack on Su Yang did not spread in Capital City. People heard more about Su Yang being protected by Qinghe Academy, and later, Young Master Qee stepped in to resolve the matter.

As a result, to everyone, Su Yang’s strength seemed rather average, and many in Capital City still did not take him seriously.

This was followed by a significant upheaval within Qinghe Academy. After Lü Donglin’s arrival at Qinghe Academy, he swept away three top masters in one fell swoop, decisively determining the current situation at the academy. Zhao Dongming had met a dismal end, becoming the laughingstock of many in Capital City during this time.

After that, Lü Donglin left Qinghe Academy and entered Capital City, killing three prodigals on the very night he arrived, shocking everyone.

Had it not been for Su Yang’s great battle with the Wan Family the next evening, people might still have been immersed in the awe of Lü Donglin.

However, news spread quickly in Capital City of how Su Yang had swept away the Wan Family, even Wan Tianxiang dying at Su Yang’s hands. Everyone was shocked by this news, yet, they were even more resistant to accepting it.

Lü Donglin roamed unhindered in Capital City, killing people like cutting weeds, and no one dared say a word, after all, Lü Donglin had the backing of the Beigong War God.

But Su Yang, what were you? You had no one backing you, what gave you the right to kill recklessly in Capital City? Did you really think the people of Capital City were easy to bully, that just any Tom, Dick, or Harry could strut around with impunity?

Thus, after Su Yang’s sweeping away of the Wan Family, rather than instilling fear in people, he drew the dissatisfaction and hostility of all in Capital City. Indeed, many prodigal sons publicly declared that they would personally kill Su Yang to regain face for everyone in Capital City.

Among these people, Lü Peiwen and the previously mentioned Young Master Huang were the most clamorous agitators. Followed by those prodigals from Capital City who had been dealt with by Su Yang at Qinghe Academy, they were filled with resentment, hopping mad, itching to personally kill Su Yang at the earliest opportunity.

Even in Capital City, these prodigal sons formed a Su Slayer Alliance. Its members, all eager to slay Su Yang, nearly represented the prodigal sons of half the families in Capital City, showing a formidable gathering and a throng of responders.

In contrast to the actions of these prodigals, the higher echelons of Capital City’s families did not make a sound, seemingly indifferent to the matter.

But this was normal, after all, Su Yang was under twenty years old, the same age as those prodigals. For these high-level figures to get involved in such a matter would be embarrassing, wouldn’t it?

Yet after Su Yang’s sweep of the Wan Family, these high echelons became busy as well, all starting to look for ways to swallow up the assets of the Wan Family.

Among them, the Fang Family was the quickest to take action, just as Su Yang had anticipated, they had started preparing early on.

However, because Su Yang had spared those of the Wan Family, the Fang Family’s path of encroachment was somewhat twisted. The later involvement of other families also prevented the Fang Family from achieving their initial expectations, only managing to devour two-tenths of the Wan Family’s assets.

Even so, among all the families, the Fang Family benefited the most from this battle.

And the Wan Family, for all intents and purposes, was finished. Even though Su Yang had spared those of the Wan Family, they were not expected to survive. The other families in Capital City would not spare them.

This was not a matter of whether these families had a vendetta against the Wan Family. It was that if the Wan Family didn’t fall, these families wouldn’t be able to benefit. So, they were sure to use various excuses to deal with the Wan Family, thus benefiting from it.

It was the principle of one family’s fall filling everyone’s belly!

All this fell right in line with Su Yang’s expectations. However, another set of data given to him by Zhang Kui made him frown heavily.

The data Zhang Kui provided was about the general strength of these major families in Capital City, including the distribution of masters in Capital City.

Su Yang had long suspected that there were many masters in Capital City, but it wasn’t until he read the data that he realized why Wan Xiong repeatedly warned him that Capital City was unlike any other place.

In all of Pingnan and Pingbei provinces, even combined with the Southern Six Provinces, the number of masters didn’t come close to one-tenth, maybe even one-twentieth of those in Capital City.

It was as if all of Huaxia’s masters were concentrated in Capital City.

No wonder these prodigals from Capital City were so arrogant; it was undeniable that the strength of these families was incredibly powerful!

Setting down the data, Su Yang said, "Check where Lü Peiwen is tonight!"

"Yes!" Zhang Kui nodded and quickly disappeared into the darkness.

Su Yang found a hotel to rest for a few hours while also slowly recuperating.

Around six o’clock, Zhang Kui rushed over and reported Lü Peiwen’s location to Su Yang.

Finally, Zhang Kui said in a low voice, "Master Su, we just received important news."

"Speak," Su Yang said.

Zhang Kui said, "Lü Donglin will challenge Lü Family Head, Lü Wenbang, tonight!"

A gleam of sharpness flashed in Su Yang’s eyes; he remembered the file he had seen earlier about Lü Wenbang.

Lü Wenbang was not an Immortal, but he had been in the Venerable Realm for nineteen years and broke through his bottleneck thirteen years ago. This man rarely acted, so many underestimated his strength. In reality, his power was far from weak, hiding his light for many years, no one knew to what extent his strength had currently reached.

Lü Donglin was actually going to challenge him; this was a big deal.

Indeed, Lü Donglin was powerful, but compared to Lü Wenbang, he was still too young. Fighting this battle, Lü Donglin didn’t have much confidence; why then, was he doing this?

"When did this news come out?" Su Yang asked solemnly.

"We just received it," Zhang Kui said in a low voice.

"Has the news about me going to find Lü Peiwen spread?" Su Yang asked.

Zhang Kui said, "It’s been out since this afternoon."

Su Yang’s mind raced, and he suddenly felt that there was a deeper meaning behind Lü Donglin’s actions.
