Chapter 224: Chapter 224: Owing me money could get you killed.

Zhao Changlong was stunned; in his mind, Hou Xiangde had always been quite amiable. What had happened this time for him to wield such authority?

To Zhao Changlong, Su Yang was just a small fry. He wanted to drive Su Yang out, but Hou Xiangde shouldn’t have fallen out with him over something like this.

And now, the fact that Hou Xiangde had spoken such words was truly shocking.

The people behind Zhao Changlong were also petrified. Zhao Changlong was not afraid of Hou Xiangde, but that didn’t mean they weren’t. If Hou Xiangde really wanted to, he dared to chop them all up and feed them to the dogs, and they truly didn’t dare do anything to Su Yang!

Taking a deep breath, Zhao Changlong gritted his teeth and said coldly, "Alright, Hou Xiangde. Let’s wait and see!"

With a wave of his hand, Zhao Changlong led his people upstairs.

The Fang Family members looked at Su Yang provocatively. In their view, Hou Xiangde had to go all out just to protect Su Yang. But, how long could Hou Xiangde keep Su Yang safe?

Before they had even gone over, Su Yang suddenly stepped forward, pulling someone out from the crowd. The person was Xie Laogui, one of the seven major gang leaders in Pingnan Province and from Xiqiu City.

"What are you doing?" Xie Laogui struggled a couple of times but couldn’t break free.

"Xie Laogui, don’t you still owe me some money?" Su Yang asked leisurely.

Xie Laogui glared at Zhao Changlong and, gritting his teeth, said, "What money? What are you talking about? I don’t understand a word!"

"Heh heh..." Su Yang sneered: "Xie Laogui, owing me money can get you killed!"

"Are you trying to scare me?" Xie Laogui glared back: "All of the Nine Great Families are here tonight, do you dare lay a hand on me?"

"Do you think I wouldn’t dare?" Su Yang countered.

At that moment, Zhao Changlong approached, furiously saying, "Hou Xiangde, what does he mean by that? I let him off the hook, and he still dares to provoke me?"

"So what if he provokes you!" Hou Xiangde shot back: "What, you can’t handle it? If you can’t, let your people make a move. Damn it, seal the door, tonight I’ll kill you all first!"

Zhao Changlong was dumbfounded; this was utterly unreasonable!

"You... You’re going too far!" Zhao Changlong exclaimed in distress.

"This is my turf; why can’t I go too far?" Hou Xiangde raised his voice: "Come on, if you can’t handle it, say it again, believe it or not, I’ll slap you first!"

Zhao Changlong immediately shut his mouth. He was arrogant, but if Hou Xiangde really decided to fight to the death, he had to be afraid. Just like Hou Xiangde said, this was Nanluo City, wanting to kill them would be as easy as flipping his hand!

"Well said!" Just then, another group of people entered from the door, and an old man at the forefront laughed heartily: "Had I not come to Nanluo City, I would never have known that the Hou Family was so domineering here. Hou Xiangde, do you really think you can do whatever you want in Nanluo City?"

Seeing the newcomer, Hou Xiangde’s expression changed because the newcomer was Xie Hongyun, the Family Head of the Xie Family, one of the Ten Great Families, and also one of the Hou Family’s rivals.

"Xie Lao!" Zhao Changlong immediately smiled: "The proverbial frog at the bottom of a well, that’s probably referring to the Hou Family. Acting lawlessly in Nanluo City, do you really think the entire Pingnan Province can’t suppress you? It’s just a pity that in front of Elder Xie, even if you are a big local tyrant in Nanluo City, you still have to coil up obediently!"

Xie Hongyun burst out laughing and walked up to Hou Xiangde, proudly saying, "Hou Xiangde, don’t you dare repeat what you just said to me?"

Hou Xiangde’s face was extremely embarrassed as he replied in a deep voice, "Elder Xie, as guests, you deserve our respect, how could I possibly be so rude?"

"Hmph, if you don’t dare, you don’t dare, why all the nonsense!" Xie Hongyun scoffed. "Hou Xiangde, it looks to me like this is as far as you’ll ever get in life. Today, with me here, the Hou Family can forget about joining the Ten Great Families!"

Hou Xiangde’s facial muscles twitched slightly while Zhao Changlong and others smirked. Fang Cui and the rest looked particularly smug, as if they were the ones trampling Hou Xiangde underfoot.

Xie Hongyun turned to Su Yang with a sneer, "So you are that Su Yang?"

Su Yang neither confirmed nor denied, and Fang Jianhong seized the opportunity to angrily retort, "You, surnamed Su, Elder Xie is asking you a question. Are you deaf or mute? Why don’t you answer?"

Hou Shilin couldn’t contain his anger, "Fang Jianhong, who do you think you are? Do you have any right to speak here?"

Xie Hongyun glanced at Hou Shilin and said coldly, "And what about you? Do you have any right to speak here?"

Hou Shilin’s face turned blank, standing in front of Xie Hongyun, he truly felt far inferior.

"Elder Xie..." Hou Xiangde tried to smooth things over.

"Shut up!" Xie Hongyun shouted angrily, his cold eyes fixed on Su Yang, "Young man, is this the kind of manners you have? An elder speaks to you, and you don’t even know to reply. Is this how your parents raised you?"

Su Yang frowned, just about to speak when a chilly voice came from the entrance, "Xie Hongyun, talk is talk, but please mind your words. Don’t insult someone’s parents, as the head of one of the Ten Great Families, don’t you have even that much of decency?"

The crowd turned to look, only to see Nan Wudi striding in with a group of people. He strode up to Su Yang and said with a smile, "Young Master Su, I am sorry for being late!"

Everyone at the scene was shocked, including members of the Hou Family. They knew that the Nan Family was now treating Su Yang well, but they didn’t expect that it would extend to this extent. Nan Wudi, even in front of Su Yang, was so polite, which was indeed rare!

Xie Hongyun’s expression turned cold, "Nan Wudi, you dare interfere with me?"

"Why would I bother with you!" Nan Wudi replied coldly, "I’m just speaking a fair word, is that a problem for you?"

After speaking, Nan Wudi scoffed again, "I’ve heard that Elder Xie has recently progressed in his cultivation, gaining even more strength. If you disagree, why don’t we have a friendly exchange of skills right here? Or maybe, we should just let loose and let our families have a free-for-all battle, what do you think?"

Xie Hongyun immediately deflated, as the Nan Family was one of the five great martial arts families of Pingnan Province, so naturally, their strength was undeniable. Even though the Xie Family ranked slightly higher in overall strength, when it came down to fighting, they definitely were no match for the Nan Family.

Taking a deep breath, Xie Hongyun said coldly, "Nan Wudi, I haven’t settled the score with you over the Xue Family incident last time. I wasn’t there, and you allowed this kid to get away unscathed. Hmph, today, he won’t be so lucky. Today, with me here, the Hou Family can forget about entering the Ten Great Families!"

"We’ll see about that!" Nan Wudi sneered back.

Xie Hongyun gave Su Yang a piercing look, waved his hand, and said, "We’re going upstairs. Today, I really want to see what kind of ability you, Nan Wudi, have to help the Hou Family join the Ten Great Families!"

The crowd quickly followed him upstairs, the members of the Fang Family all sneered at Su Yang. With Xie Hongyun so confident, the Hou Family was doomed for sure this time!
