Supreme Warrior in the City
Chapter 857 - 856

Chapter 857: 856

Hanxi Province, Liu Family Manor.

Today, the Liu Family Manor could be described as filled with luxury cars. After all, the main members of the Ten Great Families are currently gathered at the Liu Family Manor.

The Patriarch of the Liu Family, Liu Shuangcan, himself is the foremost among the top ten masters in Hanxi Province. As the Liu Family is the leader of the Ten Great Families, their ability to call others to rally is naturally very strong.

Moreover, the Ten Great Families had heard about how Su Yang did not encounter Qi Zhishan and Qi Jian’an at Lake Heart Island, and how Ye Jiansheng and Lian Wanxiong backed him up. Therefore, everyone was no longer fearful of Su Yang and was thinking about how to bring him down.

At this time, Min’er ran to the provincial city to report that Liu Changnian and others had died in Liuan City. Naturally, this news stirred up a storm, and the people from the Ten Great Families gathered that very day to discuss how to take down Su Yang.

In the grand hall of the Liu Family Manor, the Family Heads of the Ten Great Families sat on either side. Liu Shuangcan, missing an eye and an ear, took the seat of honor.

The life of Liu Shuangcan could truly be described as legendary.

Liu Shuangcan was originally a bastard son named Liu Cheng’an. Although he was a member of the Liu Family, he was very much unwelcomed there.

In his youth, after being humiliated by members of the Liu Family, he fought back and ended up injuring the son of the then Family Head, causing a great disaster.

Even though his birth mother sacrificed her life to protect him, he was ultimately punished by having one ear cut off and an eye gouged out, and was thrown into the dungeon as a warning to others.

It was during this time in the dungeon that Liu Cheng’an came across a secret manual, left behind by a Devil that a former Terrestrial Immortal of the Liu Family had suppressed there. The contents of the manual were nothing short of marvelous.

Liu Cheng’an mastered this manual, broke out of the dungeon, and overnight slaughtered twenty-three members of the lineage of the then Family Head, eradicated all his loyalists, and completely overturned the Liu Family.

Liu Cheng’an, with overwhelming martial power, defeated all members of the Liu Family, personally killed those who had driven his mother to death, and brutally took complete control of the Liu Family.

Liu Shuangcan, thereafter renaming himself, fused the unique Liu Family martial arts to elevate his skills even further. He personally slew the top three masters in Hanxi Province at that time, and became the top master of Hanxi Province, a position he has held for twenty-six years to date.

Three years ago, Qi Wu’an, one of the Qi Family’s Five Heroes from Wanhu, came to Hanxi Province wanting to stake a claim in the region.

Qi Wu’an was well-known and extremely strong. The reputation of the Qi Family, let alone that of the Qi Family’s Five Heroes, was well known, making them a feared presence wherever they went.

Upon arriving in Hanxi Province, the first thing Qi Wu’an did was challenge Liu Shuangcan.

That’s how the Qi Family conducted their business, straightforwardly challenging the top-ranked individual, rather than sequentially contesting those ranked below. The Qi Family members have always been confident in their strengths. By defeating the top-ranked person, they would then become the top themselves, as had been done by Qi Zhian before.

However, after his duel with Liu Shuangcan, Qi Wu’an did not stay in Hanxi Province but left immediately.

Liu Shuangcan publicly claimed that the battle ended in a tie. However, Qi Wu’an never mentioned the incident.

But knowing the nature of the Qi family, it was either victory or defeat, never a tie. If Qi Wu’an had won, he definitely would have publicized it. His silence indicated only one possibility, that Qi Wu’an had lost to Liu Shuangcan. However, to avoid making an enemy of the Qi family, Liu Shuangcan declared it a tie.

Thus, Liu Shuangcan’s reputation grew even more illustrious. Whether it was a tie or not, one thing was very clear: Liu Shuangcan was definitely not inferior to Qi Wu’an!

Today, the majority of the Ten Great Families in Hanxi Province were under Liu Shuangcan’s control. Liu Shuangcan had held the number one position for over twenty years, and the Liu family had also been at the top of the Ten Great Families in Hanxi Province for over twenty years. Liu Shuangcan, was truly a figure of unmatched influence.

In the eyes of the Liu family, Su Yang was nothing more than a clown. How could he compare with the Liu family!

The family heads of the Ten Great Families were seated here, and Zhao Ping’an’s ex-girlfriend, Min’er, stood in the middle of the great hall, talking to everyone about the incident in Liuan City.

Min’er had never seen so many important figures before; any person present was a hundred or a thousand times more powerful and wealthy than anyone she had ever met. So, she felt both excited and proud.

There was only one thought in her mind, that any of these people present, or even those standing beside them, if any took a fancy to her, it would fulfill her dream of marrying into a wealthy family!

So, while recounting the events in Liuan City to everyone, Min’er’s voice was seductive, occasionally adding a suggestive moan, using all her tricks to attract the attention of the audience.

After listening for a while, a rugged-looking man couldn’t bear it anymore and cursed, "Can you fucking talk faster? Humming and hawing, what are you flirting for, damn it, I don’t have all day to listen to your nonsense!"

Startled, Min’er immediately put on a distressed expression, trying to elicit pity from these men.

However, she sorely underestimated them. The beautiful women these people had been with were more numerous than the women she had ever seen. Her looks were nothing extraordinary to them; in front of these people, her coquettish distress went unnoticed!

"What the fuck are you dazing about for?" another man said sternly, "Told you to hurry up, didn’t you hear? You look like shit, I feel sick just seeing you, mumbling on and ruining my mood. Finish up and get lost, don’t dirty my eyes!"

Min’er was dumbfounded; she was considered a beauty in school, even the campus belle. How had she become nothing here? These people showed no compassion or appreciation but treated her like dirt, what was going on!

"Didn’t you hear me telling you to hurry up?" the rugged man lost his patience, "If you don’t, I’ll strip you naked and throw you into a dog cage!"

Terrified, Min’er nearly urinated herself; she dared not hesitate and hurriedly spoke faster, repeating the incident in Liuan City.

Her heart was filled with resentment, but she dared not vent it in front of these people, choosing instead to embellish the events of Liuan City. Many things Zhao Ping’an never said, she blurted them all out.

Things like Zhao Ping’an wanting to destroy the Ten Great Families, wanting to capture all the women of the Ten Great Families to force them into prostitution—she said as much maliciously, provoking roars of anger from the crowd.

The more grievances Min’er endured here, the more she blamed Zhao Ping’an. In her view, her current plight was entirely due to Zhao Ping’an, so she wished she could drum up even more enemies for him to appease her hatred!
