"So, amidst the crowd’s endless chatter, Su Yang suddenly shouted loudly, ’Everyone shut up!’
The crowd fell silent instantly, everyone staring at Su Yang in astonishnt. They were discussing how to deal with him, and none of them expected Su Yang to speak up at this mont.
Su Yang scanned the crowd with his sharp gaze, finally landing on Black Widow. He spoke coldly, ’My father, Su An, betrayed Mr. Su Zhan and committed grave sins. His death was well-deserved. As his son, I must repay his debts. The so-called public trial is completely unnecessary. I am willing to use my life to earn forgiveness from Mr. Su Zhan’s descendants. This is the only thing I can do as Su An’s son!’
After saying this, an endless black mist suddenly surrounded Su Yang, enveloping him entirely.
’I am Su An’s son. Today I sacrifice myself to atone for the sin and appease the heavens!’ Su Yang roared loudly, and the black mist surged into his body. In that instant, his body started to swell.
The crowd’s expressions changed dramatically, and the dean leapt into the air, yelling urgently, ’Stop!’
Everyone could see that Su Yang intended to self-destruct with his entire power. Even Su Huo beca anxious. If Su Yang died, they would lose everything!
But the dean’s speed was ultimately too slow, and the black mist instantly poured into Su Yang’s body. He lifted his head, preparing to ignite the energy within himself. Just then, a beam of light abruptly appeared, shrouding Su Yang and suppressing the raging power inside him completely.
The dean let out a sigh of relief upon seeing the light.
The crowd turned their heads in astonishnt and saw a middle-aged man holding a yellow dog walking slowly from afar.
This middle-aged man was exceedingly plain-looking, almost embarrassingly average. Yet, no one dared to underestimate him. On the contrary, as soon as people saw him, they instinctively stepped back, creating a path for him.
The man, still holding Xiao Huang, walked forward as though oblivious to everyone around. He strolled leisurely to the scene and casually waved his hand, causing the light around Su Yang to dissipate and simultaneously neutralizing the energy built up within him.
Su Yang froze for a mont before speaking in a deep voice, ’Senior, what... what do you an by this? My father committed grave sins. I seek to atone with my death. Is it still not enough?’
’You may wish to die, but not now. There are still matters to resolve first!’ the man said calmly.
Su Yang was taken aback. He was ready to die, but what was left to resolve?
At that mont, Yuan Tiangang and Wu Daozi ca running over, panting heavily.
No one paid attention to the duo. Su Huo frowned while looking at the middle-aged man. Back in Nanluo City, this man had stopped him from taking Su Yang away. And now, here he was again, making Su Huo feel increasingly uneasy.
Could it be that this man intended to block them yet again?
But then, thinking of the nurous sects and families backing him, Su Huo felt a bit more reassured.
Though the middle-aged man was powerful, could he truly stand against so many sects and families?
’What exactly are you referring to, sir?’ Su Huo plucked up his courage and stepped forward. ’I believe that regardless of the issue, he must be brought to the Su Family of Yanbei for a public trial. After all, this is our Su Family of Yanbei’s matter!’
The middle-aged man didn’t spare him a glance. After speaking his earlier words, he simply stood aside with Xiao Huang.
At this ti, Yuan Tiangang and Wu Daozi stepped closer, positioning themselves beside Su Yang.
Their faces bead with smiles, looking simultaneously vulgar and shaless, which made many people present want to walk over and kick them in the face. Truth be told, quite a few there had been scamd by this duo in the past!
’So, everyone, as Mr. Su Huo ntioned, today’s affair is a matter concerning the Su Family of Yanbei. Since it’s their family’s matter, it doesn’t concern anyone else. How about we clear the venue first? Those uninvolved, please return ho and wait for updates, alright?’ Wu Daozi said with a grin.
This comnt instantly sparked commotion among the crowd. At this point, none of them would leave!
’Wu, what nonsense are you talking about? Mr. Su Zhan did the dicine Sect a great favor. He is our benefactor! His matters are naturally dicine Sect’s matters. Now that we’re face-to-face with his enemies, how could we possibly stand idly by?’ declared the dicine Sect’s Second Elder loudly.
’Mr. Su Zhan is a revered man we greatly admire. Throughout his life, he was a hero. His descendants, however, have fallen to such a state. If we stand by and watch, won’t that chill the hearts of the world?’
’Mr. Su Zhan had close ties with our family’s ancestors. His affairs are ours too. Why should we leave?’
The scene descended into chaos, as everyone clamored about how closely connected they were to Su Zhan, insisting they wouldn’t leave under any circumstances.
Black Widow found their words nauseating; everyone here was, in truth, drawn by Destiny’s To. Despite their lofty verbiage, she couldn’t be bothered to listen.
Wu Daozi and Yuan Tiangang, on the other hand, seed pleased. After the crowd’s bickering subsided, Wu Daozi chid in with a grin, ’So, it seems that everyone holds Mr. Su Zhan in great esteem and gratitude at heart.’
In reality, few present genuinely respected and admired Su Zhan. Though he had once been illustrious, his influence had waned after over a decade of disappearance.
However, when Wu Daozi asked this question, the crowd nodded in unison. Whatever they truly thought, it didn’t matter—acknowledging Su Zhan’s importance gave them grounds to ddle in this matter.
Wu Daozi’s grin broadened as he declared loudly, ’Since everyone feels such gratitude and admiration for Mr. Su Zhan, shouldn’t you also be willing to help his descendants?’
At that, the crowd’s deanor changed instantly. The dicine Sect’s Second Elder was the first to shout, ’We’re willing to help Mr. Su Zhan’s descendants, but only if they’re worthy of our support. Black Widow’s actions—well, what part of it demonstrates her capability as Su Zhan’s descendant? She might need our help, but if she doesn’t show any promise herself, how can we possibly aid her?’
The crowd echoed the sentint, one after another expressing their hostility toward Black Widow with faces full of disappointnt and frustration.
Wu Daozi chuckled, ’I’m not referring to Su Zhan’s daughter. I’m talking about Su Zhan’s son. After all, daughters eventually marry and leave the family. It’s the sons who carry the legacy forward. Isn’t it true that only Su Zhan’s son can inherit everything he left behind?’
The crowd froze montarily. Then, a few quick-witted individuals responded loudly, ’Absolutely right! Su Zhan’s legacy must be inherited by his son. A daughter has no claim to inherit his mantle.’
