Chapter 602: Chapter 601 Creek Valley Village Tragedy

Many people at the scene didn’t recognize Old Lin, but there were some who gasped in recognition, having seen Old Lin before.

Feng Beiche looked at those who had gasped, and one of them approached and whispered, "It’s that retired special forces soldier from Creek Valley Village, the one who lost a leg. He injured two of our brothers and later, Ling Qiye led people to disable his arms and legs. His family resisted, and the entire family was burned to death, including... including his parents, his younger brother and sister-in-law, leaving only him and a young boy of a few years old..."

Feng Beiche’s brows furrowed immediately, this was indeed a great feud. But what was Su Yang’s relationship with this man?

"So he was from Creek Valley Village!" Feng Beiche sighed and said, "I truly regret the incident with Creek Valley Village. But then, how should I put it? In the eyes of Brother Su, or for us, perhaps we did go a bit too far. However, the villagers of Creek Valley were too greedy, we can’t be blamed for that!"

"Greedy?" Su Yang scoffed, "Come on then, tell me, how exactly were they greedy?"

"Brother Su, since you have come together with them, you should know. We went to Creek Valley Village mainly to retrieve what belonged to us. It was the Divine Medicine that we exchanged for at the River God Sect, which we retrieved at a great cost. But, it accidentally ended up in Creek Valley Village, and after taking it, these people refused to return it to us..."

Feng Beiche glanced at Su Yang and said in a low voice, "We paid such a high price, we had no choice but to retrieve it. Initially, we went there with money to buy it back. After all, it was our own negligence that we left it, and of course, we had to pay a price for that. But they started demanding sky-high prices, being too greedy, asking for too much, and we had no choice, that... that led to the subsequent bloody conflict..."

As he said this, Feng Beiche sighed again and continued, "Actually, speaking of this matter, my heart is filled with regret. Tell me, was it necessary to escalate the matter to this extent over a Divine Medicine? Alas, but what can be said at this point? I can only express my regret for the incident and at the same time, if possible, we are willing to compensate Creek Valley Village for all their losses."

Su Yang watched Feng Beiche calmly, waiting for his voice to fade before slowly saying, "Are you done with your nonsense?"

Feng Beiche’s face changed dramatically, after saying so much and being so polite to Su Yang, he felt he had done his utmost. Now, Su Yang’s response was too much, wasn’t it?

Feng Beiche took a deep breath, barely suppressing his anger, and said, "Young man, regarding the Creek Valley Village incident, I have already expressed our regret. But the incident has already occurred, and on behalf of the Seven Great Families, I apologize for this matter and am willing to provide compensation, isn’t that enough?"

"Humph!" Su Yang snorted coldly and said, "Did you really think I’m a fool, that I didn’t investigate the whole incident before coming here? Did you think I wouldn’t ask them? You make up a string of lies here, trying to deceive me? Do you really take me for a fool?"

Feng Beiche said solemnly, "I know they must have told you that we wanted to rob the village’s treasure. But, the Divine Medicine is indeed what we exchanged from the River God Sect, and the people from the River God Sect can testify!"

"You tell these lies so well, you almost believe them yourself, don’t you!" Su Yang said coldly, "But you know very well what really happened. Creek Valley Village happened upon a Spiritual Medicine in Wan Chuan River, which was treasured as a divine gift from the gods, and it became the village’s treasure."

"After you found out about it, you wanted to buy the Spiritual Medicine at a low price, but when you were refused, you sent people to slaughter the entire village of Creek Valley and took the medicine. Even more so, you almost exterminated the remaining inhabitants of the village, intending to completely cover up the incident. Tsk tsk, the Seven Great Families are indeed ruthlessly efficient!"

The expressions of the people around turned cold, what Su Yang said was the real truth. Just like Su Yang said, after they discovered the Spiritual Medicine in Creek Valley Village by chance, they coveted and wanted to steal it, leading to the subsequent tragedy of the village.

Afterward, the event was suppressed through their connections. Even the survivors from Creek Valley Village were nearly wiped out by them. Of more than a hundred people in Creek Valley Village, now only a little over a dozen of the old, weak, sick, and disabled remained, a masterpiece of the Seven Great Families.

This incident was known by some people in Zifeng City. However, these people were either from the Seven Great Families or were too afraid to speak up. Thus, as time passed, they almost forgot about it.

Unexpectedly, today someone came knocking at the Seven Great Families’ doorstep, starting to hold them accountable for the incident.

How could the people of the Seven Great Families have imagined someone in Zifeng City would come to their doorstep to hold them accountable for such a matter?

Feng Beiche said coldly, "Brother Su, I have said my part. If you choose to believe them over us, then there is nothing more to say. But let me warn you, the Seven Great Families are not to be insulted at will."

"What can the Seven Great Families do!" Master Fang couldn’t hold back any longer and shouted, "What about compared to the Top Ten Families of Pingbei Province?"

Feng Beiche was taken aback for a moment, frowning as he asked, "Who are you?"

"Never mind who I am, just answer the question I asked you!" Master Fang said coldly.

Feng Beiche replied coldly, "The Seven Great Families of Zifeng City might not compare to the Top Ten Families of Pingbei Province. But, in this territory of Zifeng City, we are second to none!"

His implication was that even the Top Ten Families of Pingbei Province would have to heed the Seven Great Families once they were in Zifeng City.

"You brag quite a bit, don’t you!" Master Fang scoffed, "It’s just a pity that when our Immortal Master is around, even those from the Top Ten Families of Pingbei Province have to behave themselves in front of him. What does your Seven Great Families of Zifeng City count for then?"

As soon as these words were uttered, the scene became noisy all of a sudden.

"The Top Ten Families of Pingbei Province have to behave themselves in front of him? Damn, that’s quite the boast!"

"Who do you think you are, scaring the Top Ten Families of Pingbei Province?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, do people nowadays not even bother drafting their tall tales anymore?"

"Really, in the middle of such a tense confrontation, you’re blowing such a hot air, almost made me laugh!"

"For real, why brag about the Top Ten Families of Pingbei Province? Why don’t you say you’re acquainted with the President of America while you’re at it?"

Patriarch Leu also started to sneer, glancing at Su Yang, "People from the Top Ten Families of Pingbei Province have to behave around you? Hahaha, is that true or false? Shall I make a call to the Ten Great Families and check if they recognize you?"
