Chapter 186: Chapter 186 Witness

In fact, based solely on his own strength, Su Yang would probably only be a match for Nan Wudi, especially since Su Yang had not yet entered the Fusion Realm.

However, Su Yang possessed the Nine Cold Jade Sword. Moreover, he had previously absorbed the power of Huang Beilun. Although Su Yang could not completely make this power his own, he had refined it.

The force with which he had faced Nan Wudi head-on was Su Yang’s own strength combined with that of Huang Beilun. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for Su Yang to defeat Nan Wudi so easily!

"We are not your equals in skill and have nothing to say!" Nan Wudi slowly stood up and said solemnly, "Su Yang, if you want to kill or flay us, we will accept our fate!"

Li Tianlong did not speak, but he stood behind Nan Wudi, clearly ready to share Nan Wudi’s fate.

Su Yang smiled and said, "Rest assured, I won’t kill you, nor will I flay you. Today’s event is simply to let you know that among the strong, there are always stronger ones, and there is always a higher mountain. From now on, keep your family members and disciples in line, and don’t let them bully others by relying on your reputation. Otherwise, someone will surely teach them a lesson!"

Both men exchanged glances, both quite surprised. According to the information they had, Su Yang was known to be extraordinarily cruel when he took action. But why, having defeated them, did he simply let them go this time?

"Alright, let’s leave today’s matter at this!" Su Yang said loudly, "If you are not convinced, you can come find me in Nanluo City again. But remember my words: if someone from your side troubles me again, they will lose their life!"

With that, Su Yang walked straight out of the Nantian Martial Arts School, leaving Nan Wudi and Li Tianlong staring at each other in bewilderment.

After a long while, Nan Wudi sighed and said, "Truly, a hero emerges from the youth. Brother Li, it seems we’ve really hit rock bottom this time!"

"Ah!" Li Tianlong also sighed and replied, "There’s nothing we can do. With such strength, even you and I must treat him with respect. It’s only right that our families and disciples, who dared to disrespect him, got punished by him. Brother Nan, it seems we are indeed not well-suited for dealing with certain matters!"

"Indeed, over the years, I don’t know how many atrocious acts my descendants have committed using my name. This incident has served as a wake-up call for me!" Nan Wudi took a deep breath and declared, "From today onwards, I shall rectify the rules of the Nantian Martial Arts School. Any disciple of mine who sees Master Su must pay him the respect due to a master!"

Li Tianlong’s expression changed slightly. Nan Wudi must truly admire Su Yang to the extreme to lay down such a rule!

However, thinking about how Su Yang had laughingly defeated them earlier, Li Tianlong too felt a lingering fear. How could they be on par with such a figure?

"From now on, any member of the Li Family of Dongyuan who sees Master Su must also pay him the respect due to a master!" Li Tianlong said loudly.

...

Su Yang did not know that Nan Wudi and Li Tianlong had established such a rule after he left.

There were two reasons Su Yang did not strike with lethal force this time.

The first was that Su Yang had no deep grudge against these people. It was merely their descendants who were bullying others, and they were just providing support for their own. To Su Yang, these people could be killed or spared; defeating them and forcing them to back down was also an option.

The second reason concerned the Xue Family. Su Yang needed to provide himself with an alibi. And Nan Wudi and Li Tianlong were the best witnesses!

Su Yang used a Secret Technique from the Destiny’s Tome to temporarily control Du Xinyu, directing him to lead an assault on the Xue Family, making it a case of using another’s hand to wield the knife.

Originally, Tianlong Sword Shadow Li Tianlong was at the Xue Family’s place. Hence, before Du Xinyu took action, Su Yang first went to the Nantian Martial Arts School to lure Li Tianlong out.

By doing so, once Du Xinyu attacked the Xue Family, there would be no one to stop him. Meanwhile, Su Yang would be at Nantian Martial Arts School, battling Nan Wudi and Li Tianlong, providing him with an alibi, hence disassociating himself completely from the event.

Next, it would be up to the Nine Great Families to deal with the situation!

Su Yang did not return to the hotel but instead took out a mobile phone from his person. The phone was equipped with tracking software. He had placed a tracking device on Du Xinyu to monitor his movements.

Currently, Du Xinyu and his men had not yet emerged from the Xue Family, indicating that the battle was not yet over.

Su Yang waited patiently. In less than ten minutes, Du Xinyu and his men started to move, heading directly towards the city center.

Su Yang quietly followed them. They dispersed near a bar, and Du Xinyu entered a building alone.

Su Yang slipped upstairs, located Du Xinyu, and removed all tracking devices and silver needles used to control Du Xinyu. With this action, all evidence related to the affair was eliminated.

Afterwards, Su Yang returned to the hotel and leisurely began to rest. How the plot would unfold next was now up to the Nine Great Families and Eight-Faced Yama!

The next morning, as soon as Su Yang stepped out of the hotel, he saw several cars downstairs. Standing in front of one car was a man Su Yang had seen before, a disciple of Nan Wudi’s.

Upon seeing Su Yang, the disciple immediately approached him and greeted respectfully, "Mr. Su, good morning!"

"What is this about?" Su Yang frowned.

"Please don’t misunderstand, Mr. Su," the disciple hastily said. "My master sent me to kindly ask you to come with us. Last night, the Xue Family was slaughtered by Eight-Faced Yama’s men, with ninety percent of their people killed. According to the rules, the other Nine Great Families must handle this matter. Since you came to Zhongzhou adamantly seeking the Xue Family, the Nine Great Families would like you to assist in the investigation!"

"What does this have to do with me?" Su Yang frowned. "Last night, I was at Nantian Martial Arts School, then I came back here to sleep!"

"Yes, that’s why my master specially sent me to invite you," said the disciple with a smile. "My master said, he and Tianlong Sword Shadow would testify for Mr. Su. You need not worry about this matter at all!"

Unable to help but smile, Su Yang found that Nan Wudi was indeed forthright, actually coming forward to testify on his behalf. But this was just as well, saving Su Yang the effort.

Following these people, Su Yang went straight to Nantian Martial Arts School. To ease Su Yang’s worries, Nan Wudi had specifically invited members of the other families to the Nantian Martial Arts School to investigate.

Upon entering the hall, Su Yang discovered that there were already over a dozen people seated. Nan Wudi and Li Tianlong were conspicuous among them.

Seeing Su Yang arrive, Nan Wudi and Li Tianlong quickly stood up and greeted him with a bow. The battle from the previous night had left them with immense respect for Su Yang.

After exchanging pleasantries, Su Yang took a seat nearby. Nan Wudi took the opportunity to introduce the identities of the others to Su Yang, all of whom were members of the Ten Great Families.

The middle-aged man seated at the very end was the underground boss of Zhongzhou City, the sixth-ranked expert in Pingnan Province, Eight-Faced Yama!
