Chapter 1377: Chapter 1376: Ge Kaiyang’s Crushing Defeat

Su Yang rushed to the Ye Family, where Ye Wantong was still awake, waiting for him in the courtyard.

Seeing the strict guards around the Ye Family, Su Yang knew that they were truly frightened by the situation this time.

In the past when the Sword Saint was present, the Ye Family didn’t need any guards, as no one dared to provoke the Sword Saint.

The things Su Rui had done this time had indeed scared the Ye Family quite a bit, making them realize that without the Sword Saint, the Ye Family was very vulnerable.

Therefore, Ye Zhenying immediately gathered these guards for tight security to prevent any unexpected incidents.

But in fact, Su Yang knew very well that these guards meant little in front of a true master.

Even when Su Yang entered Ye Wantong’s courtyard, the Ye Family guards didn’t notice!

Ye Wantong was sitting idly in the courtyard, and seeing Su Yang suddenly appear, she was overjoyed, hurriedly welcoming him: "Su Yang, you’re back. Are you... are you alright?"

"I’m fine." Su Yang smiled, choosing not to tell Ye Wantong about the conversation with the middle-aged man. Although Su Yang felt very somber inside, he didn’t want Ye Wantong to know and worry about him.

"I’m relieved to hear that." Ye Wantong let out a sigh of relief, her complexion turning slightly red, whispering, "Thank you for coming to rescue me."

"Uncle Ye has helped me so many times, saving you is nothing in comparison," Su Yang said with a smile.

Ye Wantong seemed a bit disappointed, but quickly masked it.

Su Yang was still too young to understand a girl’s mind. The answer Ye Wantong was looking for wasn’t like this. His response made it seem like he was repaying a debt to the Sword Saint, while overlooking his own relationship with Ye Wantong.

Su Yang, oblivious to Ye Wantong’s feelings, asked, "By the way, how’s Senior Gu doing?"

"He was seriously injured and went into seclusion as soon as he returned," Ye Wantong said: "It will probably take some time for him to come out. Uncle Gu said that he doesn’t need to protect me during this time because there is no one in the world who dares to make a move against me now!"

"Oh?" Su Yang was taken aback. Clearly, Gwu Jihan was aware of the middle-aged man’s identity; otherwise, he wouldn’t have said such a thing.

Su Yang really wanted to ask Gwu Jihan about the identity of the middle-aged man, but since Gwu Jihan had entered seclusion, it was impossible for Su Yang to summon him out.

After some conversation with Ye Wantong, Su Yang realized that she did not know the identity of the middle-aged man either, so he eventually let it go.

...

Early the next morning, Su Yang hurried back to the Capital City.

Just after returning to the Capital City, Su Yang received a shocking piece of news.

Su Ze launched a night raid on Ge Kaiyang and his group. Ge Kaiyang’s Hell Ghost Soldiers suffered heavy casualties. White Impermanence carried the injured Ge Kaiyang and fled, while Black Impermanence Fan Wujie was captured by Su Ze’s group.

In the end, Xie Bi’an had no choice but to trade Chen Benhong for Fan Wujie. In this battle, Ge Kaiyang’s side suffered a significant loss; Black and White Impermanence escaped with Ge Kaiyang from Capital City, daring not to enter Capital City again.

And after this battle, the prestige of the Su Family of Yanbei was also pushed to a peak.

Previously, people had only heard of the strength of these Superlunary Clans, but very few knew the extent of their true might.

This time, people had thoroughly witnessed the formidable strength of these Superlunary Clans.

After Black and White Impermanence arrived in Capital City, how arrogant and triumphant Ge Kaiyang was.

But overnight, he suffered a disastrous defeat at the hands of the Su Family of Yanbei, and so pitifully at that. Nearly all of the Hell Ghost Soldiers were annihilated, with only Black and White Impermanence and Ge Kaiyang surviving—truly shocking.

After this battle, the first person that came to people’s mind was Su Yang.

Somehow the news spread that Su Yang had used Chen Benhong to threaten Su Ze, which is why Su Ze’s group, after entering Capital City, targeted Ge Kaiyang’s people first.

In reality, everyone was well aware that the deep-seated grudge between the Su Family of Yanbei and Su Yang was the true irreconcilable conflict.

Now that Ge Kaiyang’s group had been dealt with, and Ge Kaiyang and Black and White Impermanence had fled, and Chen Benhong had been rescued, the Su Family of Yanbei would surely focus on dealing with Su Yang next.

Su Yang still dared to use Chen Benhong to threaten the Su Family of Yanbei at such a time; how immense must their rage be? So, when the Su Family of Yanbei begins to move against Su Yang, can he withstand them? After all, Su Yang is far less powerful than Ge Kaiyang and his ilk!

Even many people began to ponder what Su Yang’s fate would be after this battle? It was no longer just a matter of Su Yang’s death; those around him were certainly not going to escape unscathed either.

The only doubt people had was whether the Su Family of Yanbei dared to also take care of Lü Donglin at the same time?

Su Yang sat on the sofa, listening to Zhao Hu Zi reporting these matters, including the speculations of the people in Capital City. He furrowed his brows tightly.

Zhao Hu Zi also looked worried; with the Su Family of Yanbei having dealt with Ge Kaiyang’s group, they would definitely start targeting them next. Last night’s battle had also shown the strength of the Su Family of Yanbei to the public. Once the Su Family of Yanbei made their move against them, they had no hope of victory, not even if Lü Donglin helped; they simply had no chance at all!

After reporting these matters, Zhao Hu Zi whispered, "Master Su, there are still some families outside clamoring for you to come out, bow, and kowtow to the Su Family of Yanbei as an apology for your previous actions. These petty figures clearly want to take advantage of the situation to curry favor with the Su Family of Yanbei, and that’s why they’ve sprung into action. I’ve already had these families logged down, I can bring the list for you to see in a moment!"

"No need!" Su Yang waved his hand dismissively: "Such buffoons can’t make any real impact. The key issue is, who will ultimately win between me and the Su Family of Yanbei? If I win, those people will come and apologize on their own. If I lose, whatever they say is meaningless!"

Zhao Hu Zi nodded slowly; those meddling families were indeed not significant. In fact, what he was truly concerned about was the upcoming confrontation between Su Yang and the Su Family of Yanbei!

After pondering for a moment, Su Yang said, "Where’s Brother Lü?"

"They went back after telling me these messages," said Zhao Hu Zi. "But, Master Lü said that if you returned, to notify them immediately. I just called them, and they said Master Lü isn’t home. Should I send someone to inform them later?"

"No need, I’ll go find them myself!" Su Yang stood up; he had many questions and needed to ask Lü Donglin for clarity.
