Chapter 189: Chapter 189 May Dragon Head Meeting

Nan Wudi’s face turned icy, and he said in a deep voice, "Since everyone has differing opinions, let’s follow the rules of the Ten Great Families. I see no issue with this matter, therefore, our Nan Family will no longer be involved!"

The people of the Xue Family were stunned. With Nan Wudi withdrawing, that left only the Nine Great Families.

And at this moment, the remaining eight families were also murmuring among themselves. Not long after, one of them said, "Our Ye Family will also withdraw from this matter!"

"We of the Qin Family, too!"

"Our Wang Family, as well!"

People spoke over each other, one after another, and soon, out of the ten families present, nine had stated their positions. The only one left was the Xue Family.

The Xue Family members were dumbfounded. Without the support of the nine families, how could they compete against Eight-Faced Yama now? Besides, there was also Su Yang, watching them like a tiger eyeing its prey!

"Ladies and gentlemen..." a person from the Xue Family said urgently, "As the Ten Great Families, we advance and retreat together; this has always been our rule. You... Is what you’re doing now not a violation of our long-established rules?"

"It’s true that we, the Ten Great Families, should advance and retreat together," Nan Wudi said, "but when our alliance was formed, we also agreed that the Ten Great Families shall not engage in acts without reason."

"This time, you insist on seeking vengeance against Eight-Faced Yama and Mr. Su without justification. We nine families cannot possibly join you in such senseless acts just because of your family’s vendetta, can we? Otherwise, once word gets out, wouldn’t it tarnish the reputation of the Ten Great Families?"

People nodded one after another, as they had all made this consideration, which was why they had chosen to not get involved in the matter.

After all, judging from the current situation, Su Yang had done nothing wrong, and the affair was not orchestrated by Eight-Faced Yama. Under these circumstances, to still insist that Su Yang and Eight-Faced Yama pay with their lives would indeed be too much.

Of course, the most crucial point was that after these events, the Xue Family had been greatly weakened. Even if they managed to survive, they would no longer be able to stand on an equal footing with the other nine families. Under these circumstances, whether this ally existed or not didn’t matter anymore!

The Xue Family members were pale as death. Without the support of the nine families, how could they possibly have the strength to continue standing up to Eight-Faced Yama and Su Yang?

The meeting dispersed, and after bidding farewell to the Nine Great Families, Su Yang left straight away.

He hadn’t gone far from the Nantian Martial Arts School when a car drove up. The door opened, and Eight-Faced Yama looked at Su Yang with a smile, "Brother Su, may I give you a ride?"

"Why not!" Su Yang replied with a light smile, directly getting into the car without any sign of wariness.

As the vehicle moved slowly, Eight-Faced Yama leaned back on the sofa and said leisurely, "After this, the Xue Family will likely have to leave the stage of history. Brother Su, what are your plans for dealing with them?"

"It’s not what I plan to do to them, but what you plan to do with them, right?" Su Yang chuckled and said, "On the surface, those hundred or more people from the Xue Family were killed by your men. The debt has its debtor, and I reckon when Old Master Xue returns from Capital City, you will be the first he cuts down!"

"Yes," Eight-Faced Yama said with a sigh, "Ah, this time, I have really fallen into a trap. You are truly resourceful, Brother Su!"

"Mutual admiration," Su Yang said. "Had I not been extra cautious, who would have thought that it was you setting up the Xue Family? When Hou Family seeks revenge, they’ll only clash head-on with the Xue Family, never suspecting you. Killing two birds with one stone, not a bad plan at all!"

"No matter how good the plan, it still failed at the hands of Brother Su," Eight-Faced Yama sighed. "Du Xinyu has been with me since he was thirteen years old, it’s been fifteen years now. He was the most disciplined and the most loyal to me. I really can’t understand, who could have given him the courage to go behind my back and kill so many people from the Xue Family?"

Eight-Faced Yama looked at Su Yang as if trying to discern some reason from his face.

Su Yang remained composed and spoke softly, "One may know a person’s face but not their heart. Perhaps, he was too eager to make a name for himself."

"Maybe?" Eight-Faced Yama smiled and said, "Brother Su, I heard that in the battle last night, even Nan Wudi and Li Tianlong lost to you, is that true?"

Su Yang laughed and said, "That’s just wild talk from outsiders. If I could defeat Nan Wudi and Li Tianlong on my own, would you still be sitting here chatting with me?"

Eight-Faced Yama laughed as well. He hadn’t believed the rumor when he heard it. The information about last night’s battle had been locked down and they only received hearsay.

Such news, in Eight-Faced Yama’s view, was not credible or he would not have dared to seek out Su Yang.

"Regardless, Brother Su’s ability to spar with Nan Wudi and Li Tianlong last night proves your extraordinary strength," Eight-Faced Yama said smilingly. "By the way, the Dragon Head Meeting is coming up in May, Brother Su will be joining, won’t you?"

"The Dragon Head Meeting? What’s that?" Su Yang asked curiously.

"Brother Su doesn’t know?" Eight-Faced Yama asked, "Every May, the seven leaders of Pingnan Province along with some up-and-coming talents gather to settle the year’s affairs. They divide territories, even scores, and complete what needs to be done. Afterward, it’s peace for the rest of the year."

"Is there really such an event?" Su Yang was surprised.

"It is also one of the rules set by the Ten Great Families," Eight-Faced Yama glanced at the Nantian Martial Arts School, "In Pingnan Province, the seven leaders are always suppressed by the Ten Great Families. They don’t want to see chaos in Pingnan, so they established the Dragon Head Meeting. All matters are resolved there!"

"How are they resolved?" Su Yang asked.

"Quite simple," Eight-Faced Yama smiled, "Through martial contests!"

"Do the seven leaders fight on their own?" Su Yang glanced at Eight-Faced Yama, "No wonder you became the foremost among the seven leaders."

"Don’t make fun of me, Brother Su," Eight-Faced Yama chuckled, "My strength is nothing compared to yours. And it’s not a matter of the leaders fighting personally; it’s just an opportunity for everyone’s best fighters to test their skills against one another and come to a resolution. Also, there are underground boxing matches. Every year, we do this and scrape together some earnings from those gamblers."

"Sounds interesting," Su Yang replied with a light smile, "It seems the Dragon Head Meeting in May is indeed worth attending!"

A subtle glint flashed in Eight-Faced Yama’s eyes, but his face remained smiling, "If Brother Su wants to go, I can make arrangements for you in advance."

"That won’t be necessary!" Su Yang refused outright, "Ling Zi will surely handle the arrangements for me."
