For a mont, Ki Yongchuan was stunned, then suddenly slamd the table and roared angrily, "Su, we didn’t co here today to listen to your excuses. You’re pretty sharp-tongued, but I hope when you’re kneeling on the ground later, you’ll still be able to argue like this!"
"Heh..." Su Yang sneered mockingly, "Now I see the truth. The so-called Ten Great Sects aren’t just narrow-minded, but truly shaless to the bone. If you all want to be dicine Sect’s lapdogs, just admit it outright. There’s no need for these fabricated excuses. In the end, when you can’t argue anymore, you resort to brute force. Why even bother pretending to be righteous? It’s just laughable!"
Ki Yongchuan was thoroughly enraged and shouted, "Why waste words with this kind of person? Kill!"
Second Elder glanced at Ki Yongchuan, and a barely perceptible sly smile flashed across his face. This was precisely the outco he wanted—to provoke Su Yang into completely enraging Ki Yongchuan. That way, Ki Yongchuan’s group would fully align with his stance.
"Kill!" Second Elder shouted coldly as well.
Standing not far from Second Elder, Wang Ding imdiately stepped forward, walked up to the fifteen family heads, and loudly proclaid, "Su Yang, my master summoned you here today to give you a chance to apologize and admit your wrongs. Perhaps this matter could have been resolved. But what I didn’t expect is that you’re so utterly arrogant! To spout such nonsense even in front of us, the Four Great Sects! Since that’s how it’s going to be, don’t bla us for cutting off your lifeline. Today, we, the Four Great Sects, together with the Capital City’s families, shall end your miserable existence!"
The mbers of the fifteen families, seeing the Four Great Sects stepping forward, all got riled up and started shouting, "Kill him! Kill him!"
However, Su Yang remained utterly disdainful. He spat on the ground and said coldly, "The Four Great Sects? Hah, all four of you combined, and only one person shows up. What, are you expecting these fifteen families to throw themselves into the fire first? Hey, these fifteen families ca all the way here to show support, expecting so benefits from you in return. And yet, this is how you treat them?"
The mbers of the fifteen families suddenly ca to their senses. That’s right, Wang Ding spoke eloquently, but the problem was—the Four Great Sects only had one person standing out. What were the others doing?
If a fight broke out now, wouldn’t it just an the fifteen families would be left to clash with Su Yang directly?
Although these fifteen families had sworn allegiance to the dicine Sect, they were well aware that even combined, they were not Su Yang’s match. If the dicine Sect really wanted them to be the vanguard, their losses would be catastrophic!
These fifteen families aligned themselves with the dicine Sect hoping to leverage its resources to grow stronger. But now, being asked to throw their lives at Su Yang? This was the complete opposite of what they’d hoped for!
Seeing the hesitation in the expressions of the fifteen family heads, Second Elder quickly spoke, "Su Yang, you’re at death’s door and still trying to sow discord? These fifteen families coming here tonight is already the greatest support for our dicine Sect. From today onwards, these fifteen families will be our honored allies and the rightful representatives of the dicine Sect in the mortal world!"
As soon as he said this, the fifteen families couldn’t contain their excitent and erupted into cheers.
Second Elder’s words filled the hearts of the fifteen families with imnse joy and excitent.
The titles of "dicine Sect’s honored allies" and "representatives in the mortal world"—what would those even entail?
The dicine Sect, one of the Ten Great Sects, was imnsely powerful, unmatched by any mortal family. Becoming allies of the dicine Sect would undoubtedly elevate their status exponentially—unquestionably so.
Most enticing was the title of mortal representatives for the dicine Sect, a prospect too alluring to resist.
The dicine Sect’s current standing wasn’t solely due to its strength, but more significantly attributed to the elixirs it refined. Even other sects within the Ten Great Sects sought dicine Sect’s elixirs, let alone the mortal families.
If they truly beca the dicine Sect’s mortal representatives, they’d undoubtedly gain access to these prized elixirs. The benefits these elixirs could bring were unimaginable. But one thing was certain—ard with them, in the Capital City, only the Martial Champion’s Zhang Family would remain beyond reach. Against any other family, they’d have no need to hold back.
In fact, even families across the land would co begging at their feet!
Second Elder’s words held such temptation that these fifteen family heads completely lost themselves in ambition.
Wang Ding inwardly laughed and seized the mont to shout, "What are you all waiting for? Let’s kill this Su guy together!"
"Kill!" The crowd roared enthusiastically, now heedless of any potential family losses, and charged fiercely towards Su Yang.
Su Yang didn’t even have ti to speak before both sides descended into chaos.
On the sidelines, Second Elder wore a cold smile. He understood these people’s minds all too well and knew exactly how to manipulate them.
In truth, these fools didn’t stand a chance. After tangling with Su Yang, how many of these fifteen families would still exist by the end of the battle? Even if Second Elder offered lavish promises, what good would they be to dead n?
The fifteen families had sent many fighters, and with the ensuing lee, Su Yang’s group was quickly surrounded.
In reality, none of the Four Great Sects actually joined the fight—only the fifteen families were battling Su Yang’s forces.
If it was only those fifteen families, Su Yang wouldn’t even flinch. With Lü Donglin’s reinforcents, the Drunken Monk and Happy Monk, as well as fighters from the Han Family, Shi Family, and Tang Family, Su Yang held the upper hand in obliterating the fifteen families.
However, the real issue lay in the aftermath. Even if Su Yang eradicated those fifteen families, his side would sustain heavy losses. By the ti he had to face the Four Great Sects next, he’d lack the strength to resist.
"You fools, you’re nothing but pawns being used!" Su Yang cursed furiously, "Turn around and take a look! Have any of the Four Great Sects made a move? You’re all rushing to your deaths for nothing! When you all drop dead, what value will the dicine Sect’s promises have?"
Su Yang’s words had little effect; most of the participants from the fifteen families were too bewitched by Second Elder’s promises. Only a few among them retained a shred of clarity.
Those few turned their heads only to find it true—the Four Great Sects had not joined the fray. On the contrary, they stood at a distance, watching the battle unfold with cold smirks, as if they were spectators of so gladiatorial match. Unease and dissatisfaction began brewing in those few remaining minds.
