Chapter 1239: Chapter 1238 Outsmart

"I guess I chose the wrong friends..." Chen Benhao slumped to the ground, vomiting blood as he loudly said, "Su Yang, this score is far from settled!"

Su Yang was flabbergasted. What on earth was Chen Benhao up to? Just as he was about to speak, he noticed Chen Benhao was winking at him.

A thought struck Su Yang, and he understood what Chen Benhao meant.

After all, this was the Chen Family’s dungeon, and with Chen Benhao here, he couldn’t just ignore the situation. If he did, he would become a traitor to the Chen Family.

So, that’s why he stepped forward and said so much. The slap from Su Yang didn’t hurt him, but he hurt himself instead.

In this way, when the people of the Chen Family arrived, they wouldn’t be able to find any fault. Chen Benhao was desperate, and even though he didn’t win against Su Yang, no one could blame him for it!

Su Yang also felt grateful in his heart. Logically, Chen Benhao would surely have stopped him. After all, this was the Chen Family’s dungeon, and if Su Yang were to break it open, the outcome for the Chen Family would be unspeakable.

Yet, Chen Benhao did not stop Su Yang, which was truly rare. And for this kindness, Su Yang would definitely remember it.

Taking a deep breath, Su Yang saluted Chen Benhao with clasped hands and loudly said, "Gentlemen, I’ll be leaving first to find more help. Everyone, don’t act recklessly for now. Wait for the right moment. I’ll use fireworks as the signal, and I’ll be counting on all of you to assist then!"

The prisoners had consumed elixirs and had already regained much of their strength. Their spirits also revived significantly, and they were profoundly grateful to Su Yang. Upon hearing his words, they all responded in turn.

"You can count on us! I’ve been locked away by the Chen Family for thirteen years. If I don’t make them pay dearly, how could I face these thirteen years of suffering!"

"You think thirteen years is something? I’ve been here for thirty-seven years—I’m willing to lay down my life to slay the Chen Family and avenge my suffering!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Everyone shouted one after another. Being locked in the dungeons and tormented, such days were unbearable for ordinary people. Their hatred had reached terrifying levels. They had nearly lost all hope, given they had no chance for revenge.

Now that Su Yang had saved them, he had given them the opportunity for vengeance. At this moment, their lives were not as important—getting revenge was what mattered most!

"Thank you all!" Su Yang nodded in appreciation and, without wasting words, immediately rushed out of the Chen Family dungeon.

At that time, two groups of people were already rapidly approaching the location.

Su Yang narrowly avoided these groups and swiftly headed towards another family’s stronghold.

For the second family, Su Yang chose the Wang Family. This family, ranked fourth among the Ten Great Families of the Capital City and having good relations with the Chen Family, was also relentless in dealing with Su Yang.

Another reason for choosing the Wang Family was that their dungeon was very large.

The Wang Family was notorious for their cruelty and ruthlessness. The number of people they held in their dungeons was more than double that of the Chen Family.

Time was of the essence for Su Yang, who knew that the Earth Immortals were watching him from above. Though they were unaware of his activities inside the dungeons, his continued actions would eventually raise suspicion.

Therefore, the number of people Su Yang could rescue from the dungeons was limited; what he could do now was to save as many as possible, especially those with formidable strength.

Choosing a smaller family wouldn’t save much time, yet the number of people he could rescue would be drastically different.

Su Yang faced a similar situation at the Wang Family, where he completed his mission without any hindrance.

Even with the experience he had gained previously, Su Yang’s rescue operation was much faster now.

He didn’t stop there; Su Yang consecutively raided the dungeons of four major families.

Just as he had anticipated, the Earth Immortals in the sky were gradually sensing that something was off.

Su Yang visited four of the great families, and although he circled around their territories a few times, he didn’t attack any of them. Instead, he always went to their dungeons and came back out after a while.

Although these watchers didn’t know how Su Yang managed to free those in the dungeons, they felt there had to be a reason for his actions.

Considering the astonishing feats Su Yang had previously accomplished, they couldn’t help but be especially vigilant against him.

Thus, the Earth Immortals began to secretly communicate, discussing Su Yang’s behavior.

Eventually, they nearly reached a consensus that Su Yang must be scheming something. As a result, they couldn’t allow him to keep going like this.

"Send a message to all the great families to guard their dungeons!" one Earth Immortal said gravely.

The other Earth Immortals nodded in agreement. If they didn’t send out the message now, once Su Yang’s plan came to fruition, wouldn’t that put them in danger?

Just then, Huang Wuyan suddenly spoke in a deep voice: "Hold off on sending the message."

"Hmm?" Everyone looked at Huang Wuyan in surprise. With the situation as it was, and yet he was advising against sending a message—were they supposed to wait until Su Yang’s plan succeeded?

"We have an opportunity here to turn his plan against him," Huang Wuyan said gravely. "Su Yang is too slippery. You can guard your respective dungeons all you want, but at most, Su Yang just won’t enter. But we still wouldn’t be able to catch him. Rather than doing that, it’s better to

"You’re right, we should do that," said an excited elder. "Which family should we pick?"

"Among the Ten Great Families of the Capital City, seven families have taken action this time. He’s already visited four families, leaving three more. He will definitely choose one of these remaining three," Huang Wuyan spoke resolutely. "Based on his current location, the Zhao Family is the closest, so we’ll start with them. Send six teams to guard the Zhao Family, and the remaining fourteen teams to guard the other two families. With that, we’ll surely catch him!"

Everyone acted swiftly and communicated the message.

The twenty groups below were aimlessly following Su Yang. Upon receiving the Earth Immortals’ orders, they quickly moved towards the three families’ strongholds to await Su Yang.

Each of those twenty groups was capable of killing Su Yang on their own. With six teams ambushing together, if Su Yang indeed entered one of the dungeons and they trapped him, that would truly mean he’d have no means of escape!
