Hu Chunyang was dumbstruck. Had Yue Qianfeng beco so adoring of Su Yang?
After swallowing the pill, Yue Qianfeng sat cross-legged and regulated his breathing for a mont. When he opened his eyes again, they imdiately shone bright with spirit, and his whole being seed much more invigorated.
"Master Su, this dicine is truly miraculous!" Yue Qianfeng exclaid excitedly. He distinctly felt that his old sickness had been cured. Moreover, his strength had also increased slightly. And all this in such a short ti.
Yue Qianfeng had caused such a stir in the Divine Farr Sect just for the sake of acquiring a Spiritual dicine that would heal his old illness and enhance his power.
But now, Su Yang had directly given him the Spiritual dicine, so what was there left for him to struggle for?
Furthermore, Su Yang’s heaven-defying strength also made him feel he had found a backer. From now on, all he needed to do was to cultivate diligently and wait for his re-entry into the Earth Rankings, or perhaps even beco a Terrestrial Immortal!
Su Yang smiled faintly and nodded. The dicine was actually obtained from the Old Divine Farr Sect, so naturally, its effects were good.
Yue Qianfeng asked, "Master Su, how should we deal with Hu Chunyang?"
Hu Chunyang’s body shuddered. Now that Yue Qianfeng had sided with Su Yang, did that an they had no hope left?
Before Su Yang could speak, Hu Chunyang knelt to the ground with a thump and implored, "Elder Jeang, Master Su, I... I know I was wrong, I’ll never dare again..."
Elder Jeang didn’t speak, looking towards Su Yang instead. Now the real person in charge was Su Yang; they didn’t even have the right to speak.
"Kill him!" Su Yang said calmly.
"Ah?" Yue Qianfeng couldn’t help but startle, and Elder Jeang’s expression changed drastically, whispering, "Master Su, although Elder Hu has made a mistake, it’s not worthy of death. He has contributed to the Divine Farr Sect for many years, and for this little matter, you can’t... just kill him..."
Su Yang’s expression remained calm. "I didn’t say to kill just him. Kill his son along with him!"
Everyone was stunned once more. Wasn’t Su Yang being too ruthless?
Elder Jeang looked towards Jeang Zier. Although she was reluctant, she still whispered, "Master Su..."
"Are you questioning my decision?" Su Yang asked back directly.
Jeang Zier imdiately retracted her words, nodding, "If Master Su says so, there must be a reason. I support Master Su!"
Yue Qianfeng scratched his head but still headed straight toward Hu Chunyang.
Hu Chunyang was petrified and protested, "Why? Why? I may have wanted to beco the Sect Leader, but I did it for the good of Divine Farr Sect. Moreover, no one has died. I acted for the greater good; even if I’m wrong, the most you can do is punish , but why kill ? And kill my son too? What right do you all have? Su, you’re not a mber of the Divine Farr Sect. What right do you have to make decisions for the Divine Farr Sect?"
Everyone else also looked down—killing Hu Chunyang and his son did seem a bit excessive.
Su Yang, on the other hand, remained calm. He said coldly, "Can you explain how exactly the Sect Leader of Divine Farr Sect was injured?"
Hu Chunyang was montarily stunned, his expression shifting dramatically, "I... I don’t know..."
"’You don’t know?’" Su Yang’s cold voice said, "The sleeping potion you administered to the Sect Leader is still in your son’s room, hidden in the third secret compartnt under his bed. Are you saying you don’t know? Should soone retrieve it for you? It’s right there!"
Upon hearing these words, Hu Chunyang almost collapsed to the ground. How could he have imagined that Su Yang would know even such details? Now, it was impossible for them to refute the accusation.
Seeing Hu Chunyang’s reaction, everyone knew that what Su Yang had said was indeed correct.
Elder Jeang was the first to anger, "Elder Hu, was it really you who hard the Sect Leader? I always felt there was sothing fishy about it, but no matter how much I thought about it, I never expected it to be one of our own. I cannot believe that you would lay such a toxic hand on the Sect Leader. Have you forgotten? It was the Sect Leader who saved your life in the past. When your son was born with congenital deficiencies, it was the Sect Leader who spent a decade of his energy to save him, and this is how you repay him?"
Hu Chunyang’s face turned pale as he said tremblingly, "I was wrong, I was so wrong... I shouldn’t have done this... I won’t ever again, please give another chance, just... just one more..."
"You still have the nerve to ask for another chance?" Elder Jeang shouted angrily, "Guards, drag him away!"
A few people rushed forward to drag Hu Chunyang away, and suddenly he shouted, "Yes, I hard the Sect Leader, but the Sect Leader is not dead. One pays with their life for murder, but... but I haven’t killed anyone. On what grounds... on what grounds do you kill ?"
Everyone was taken aback for a mont, when Su Yang spoke up again, "Hu Chunyang, do you know why I want to kill your son as well?"
"Why... why..." Hu Chunyang asked with a trembling voice, "It’s my fault, I... I alone should bear it, why... why do you want to kill my son..."
"Beneath the moss-covered boulder, seventy ters north of the small wooded area on the back hill..." Su Yang said evenly.
Su Yang did not continue, leaving everyone looking confused except for Hu Chunyang, whose face instantly turned deathly pale. He stared at Su Yang in horror and stamred, "How... how do you know, how... how could you know, it’s impossible... it’s just impossible..."
"What exactly happened?" Jeang Zier asked in surprise.
"Dig there, and you’ll find out..." Su Yang said, "There should be seven skeletons, six female corpses, and one male corpse. Hu Chunyang abducted won from the mountain foot for his son to marry, but after his son grew tired of them, they would be killed and buried there."
"What?" The entire room was shocked by such ghastly news.
"Is there really such a thing!?" Elder Jeang almost leapt up, his eyes bulging with furious incredulity.
"And the male corpse?" Jeang Zier asked in amazent.
"It’s a Herb-Collecting Lad from your Divine Farr Sect who discovered their doings; they killed him to silence him and buried him there as well," Su Yang explained.
The crowd gasped again; not only had Hu Chunyang killed village won, but he had also killed a lad from their own sect, which made it even more infuriating.
Su Yang looked at Hu Chunyang, "Just now, you were asking by what right I would kill you? Now, with these cris, isn’t it enough?"
Hu Chunyang appeared dazed, still trembling as he called out, "How could this be, how could this be? This is not possible, you... you couldn’t possibly know, you couldn’t possibly know..."
Su Yang turned to Elder Jeang, "What about you? Do you think he deserves to die or not?"
Elder Jeang stood up, bowed deeply, and said, "If it were not for Master Su, we might have been kept in the dark for our entire lives. I had no idea Hu Chunyang had done so many atrocious acts. Such a person truly doesn’t deserve to live. mbers of the Divine Farr Sect, heed my orders: imdiately go to the back hill and dig up those skeletons, then execute Hu Chunyang and his son as a sacrifice for them!"
