Chapter 1479: Chapter 1478: Night Attack on the Medicine Sect

Su Yang chuckled and said softly, "Old Zhao, you’re underestimating these people and oversimplifying the Medicine Sect!"

"Huh?" Zhao Hu Zi said in astonishment, "What’s wrong with the Medicine Sect?"

Su Yang calmly replied, "Do you really think that proving I hold the formulas for these three elixirs will be enough to destroy the Medicine Sect?"

"With the alliance of these four sects, it’ll definitely be a piece of cake to deal with the Medicine Sect!" Zhao Hu Zi said.

"That may be what it seems like, but in reality, it’s far more complicated." Su Yang said. "If I were to spread these three elixir formulas openly for everyone to know, and the Medicine Sect were pushed into an existential crisis, what do you think they’d do?"

Zhao Hu Zi scratched his head. This was something he hadn’t considered yet.

"To put it simply, the formulas for the three elixirs they’ve been guarding would no longer be secrets, and there’d be no need for them to keep hiding them." Su Yang continued, "At that point, they might choose to ally with other sects by giving them these formulas in exchange for their support. When that happens, even with four sects on my side, we might still fail to eliminate the Medicine Sect!"

"This..." Zhao Hu Zi’s eyes widened in shock. That scenario was indeed possible.

"Then... why don’t we share these elixir formulas with all the sects so the Medicine Sect has no allies to turn to!" Zhao Hu Zi suggested.

"That’s not feasible either!" Su Yang shook his head. "The Ten Great Sects harbor hidden grudges among themselves. Besides, these people are all ambitious. If they all unite under a shared interest, I’ll face an even greater danger down the road. The best strategy is to sow discord within the Ten Great Sects from the start using these elixir formulas, dividing them into factions so they turn on each other. That way, when the Medicine Sect is eliminated, we’ll be in a safer position."

Zhao Hu Zi scratched his head again. He truly hadn’t considered all of this, but hearing Su Yang explain it made him realize the brilliance of the plan.

Indeed, when dealing with the behemoth that is the Ten Great Sects, one couldn’t afford to only focus on the immediate gains and losses. Dealing with the Medicine Sect might be one issue, but the aftermath would be the real headache!

"So... What do we do now?" Zhao Hu Zi asked in surprise.

"Right now, the priority is obviously dealing with the Medicine Sect!" Su Yang said with a smile.

"But if the four sects are no longer helping us, how are we going to deal with the Medicine Sect?" Zhao Hu Zi asked curiously.

"We’ll rely on ourselves!" Su Yang said calmly.

"Huh?" Zhao Hu Zi was left dumbfounded.

Su Yang laughed softly. "The reason I’ve made all these moves isn’t to find allies to help me deal with the Medicine Sect, but to prevent them from causing trouble for me. Don’t forget, when the news first spread, the Ten Great Sects all came after me. Now that they’ve chosen neutrality, I can focus on resolving the matter with the Medicine Sect!"

Zhao Hu Zi stared at Su Yang, scratching his head and remaining silent for a while. His straightforward personality and rigid thinking left him unable to envision scenarios this complicated.

...

The Ghost King San Yan had no knowledge of Su Yang’s plans, but after Ge Kaiyang spread the news, their desired outcome quickly materialized. The four sects indeed went to confront Su Yang, but they ended up leaving on bad terms.

This news reached the Medicine Sect, whose members, upon hearing it, felt even greater admiration for the Ghost King San Yan. The Second Elder secretly rejoiced, grateful to have chosen such an ally.

However, due to this turn of events, their plans to deal with Su Yang were thwarted. The sects didn’t assist Su Yang when it came to confronting the Medicine Sect, but they also refrained from targeting Su Yang themselves. In the end, both sides found themselves busy for nothing.

Following this episode, everyone quieted down, and for the time being, no one contemplated going after Su Yang.

Yet just because they weren’t thinking about dealing with Su Yang didn’t mean Su Yang was going to let them off.

That very night, Su Yang led his group to locate the Medicine Sect’s headquarters.

Old Wang the Second led three men at the forefront, but before they could charge into the Medicine Sect’s territory, they were discovered by the Ghost King San Yan.

The Ghost King San Yan immediately led his followers out to confront them, and the members of the Medicine Sect, awakened in alarm, rushed out as well. When they saw the forces Su Yang had brought, they were stunned—they hadn’t expected Su Yang to launch an assault on their domain.

Bear in mind, while the remaining members of the Medicine Sect were few, the majority of them were Terrestrial Immortals. Su Yang’s attack felt like a declaration of his intent to annihilate these Earth Immortals—was his confidence truly boundless?

The Second Elder, upon seeing Su Yang from afar, was left utterly perplexed. He shouted angrily, "Su Yang, what are you doing here?"

"What do you think?" Su Yang replied coldly. "I’ve come to kill you, of course!"

"Kill us?" The Second Elder nearly spat blood, shouting in fury, "Are you insane? You think you can kill us?"

"Why not?" Su Yang sneered. "You’re all Terrestrial Immortals, but do you really think you can resist? If not now, then when?"

The Second Elder was rendered speechless. Su Yang’s reasoning wasn’t entirely wrong—for their recent trespasses, the Law Enforcers were already watching them closely. Should they retaliate now, the Law Enforcers would undoubtedly intervene. Su Yang’s timing for this attack put him firmly in the advantageous position!

At this moment, a figure stepped out from behind the Second Elder and said coldly, "Su Yang, I believe you’ve miscalculated the situation. Tonight, it’s not just the Medicine Sect here!"

The one who stepped forth was none other than Ge Kaiyang, accompanied by Black and White Impermanence and their underlings.

Su Yang’s brow furrowed instantly. They had suspected earlier that the leak of the elixir formulas wasn’t the work of the Medicine Sect because it didn’t align with their usual tactics. Su Yang had suspected there might be someone behind the Medicine Sect.

Now that Ge Kaiyang had appeared, Su Yang immediately realized the Medicine Sect had formed a partnership with the Jade-Faced Judge and his group!

At the same time, the Drunken Monk beside Su Yang noticed the Ghost King San Yan in the distance and furrowed his brow as well.

"The Ghost King San Yan is here too!" The Drunken Monk approached Su Yang and whispered, "This figure is immensely powerful—be extremely cautious!"

Su Yang hadn’t heard of the Ghost King San Yan before, but if the Drunken Monk said so, it couldn’t be an exaggeration.

He glanced at Old Wang the Second not far away, whose rare solemn expression made Su Yang uneasy. Was the Ghost King San Yan truly that formidable?

Old Wang the Second also noticed Su Yang, nodded at him, and signaled for him to proceed with his attack.

Su Yang understood—Old Wang the Second intended to hold off the Ghost King San Yan, giving Su Yang the opportunity to first deal with the members of the Medicine Sect.
