"Hahaha..." Huo Yuanzhen laughed heartily as she walked up to Su Yang and suddenly tapped his forehead with her hand.
"Ouch!" Su Yang quickly clutched his head. Although the tap wasn’t painful, he had to show the appropriate reaction. Huo Yuanzhen was known for her unpredictable moods, and Su Yang didn’t dare to provoke her.
"Listen carefully, boy. I intervened on behalf of my Huo Qianfang. So, take this snow lotus and give it to my Huo Qianfang!"
Huo Yuanzhen paused, then continued, "And rember this, boy. If I find out that you’ve given this snow lotus to Ye Wantong, the next ti we et, I’ll crack your skull open!"
Su Yang was speechless. What did this have to do with Huo Qianfang and Ye Wantong?
Just then, a sudden shout ca from the distant sky: "Miss Huo, be careful!"
Before the voice even faded, a dark golden glow was already approaching rapidly from the sky.
Su Yang saw it clearly. Within the glow was a bald monk, resembling the Smiling Buddha, exactly the one he had seen before.
Huo Yuanzhen’s expression changed drastically. She quickly pulled Su Yang behind her, a purple light erupted around her, and she struck toward the Smiling Buddha with a palm.
"Die, Bald Donkey! What are you trying to do!" Huo Yuanzhen shouted coldly.
Just as her palm was about to hit the Smiling Buddha, he swiveled around, dodging the strike. He wasn’t approaching Su Yang but was heading straight for Liu Shuangcan in the distance. He grabbed Liu Shuangcan and quickly fled.
"Hahaha, Huo Yuanzhen, what are you afraid of? I won’t kill the kid. You’re not afraid of the Law Enforcers, but I still regard them highly. However, I’ll take Liu Shuangcan with . Next ti, I’ll let Liu Shuangcan co and kill the kid himself, and we’ll see who dares to stop !"
As his voice faded, the Smiling Buddha had already disappeared into the distance.
A beam of blue light appeared beside Su Yang, it was Lian Wanxiong. He frowned as he watched the retreating Smiling Buddha, knowing it was already too late to pursue.
"What’s going on?" Huo Yuanzhen looked at Lian Wanxiong in surprise.
"He sohow acquired a demonic clone and deceived ," Lian Wanxiong said.
"I didn’t ask you about that; I asked if you won or not!" Huo Yuanzhen said.
Lian Wanxiong was speechless: "I won..."
"That’s all that matters, don’t waste any more ti." Huo Yuanzhen patted Su Yang’s shoulder, "Kid, I’ll leave you to tie up the loose ends here. We’re leaving now, and rember what I told you, don’t make co find you!"
Su Yang nodded repeatedly. It was a relief to see this lady depart.
Lian Wanxiong gave Su Yang a surprised look, glanced at Little Turtle once more, and ultimately said nothing, departing into the sky with Huo Yuanzhen.
The crowd at the scene exchanged glances, so joyous, so worried.
The joyous ones were naturally the people from Liuan City and others like Dao Shixun. However, those who were worried were inevitably from the Ten Great Families, especially those in collusion with Patriarch Chen.
With such events unfolding, Su Yang didn’t linger any longer. As for the Liu Family, there was no need to ntion their fate. Of course, Su Yang didn’t exterminate them completely, he only eliminated those of the Liu Family who deserved it.
Aside from that, surviving mbers of Liu Family were few. After all, for many years, the Liu Family had been the top family in Hanxi Province, and their family head, Liu Shuangcan, was extrely cruel. The bulk of the Liu Family engaged in many sinister dealings outside, so it was already fortunate that a few survived!
The Evil Butcher’s family was next, and being Liu Shuangcan’s lackey, he was even harsher and more unforgiving than Liu Shuangcan himself. Hence, his family mbers naturally followed suit, each more ruthless than the last, as if doing fewer evil acts would be a disgrace to the Evil Butcher.
Therefore, Su Yang decided to treat them with their own dicine, throwing these ruffians who liked letting loose their fierce dogs to bite people in the streets, right into the cages they used for their own ferocious dogs. Those dogs, always starved to stimulate their aggression, didn’t care whether those thrown in were their own masters; they simply tore into them. Including the Evil Butcher himself, not a single one could walk out of those dog cages.
Su Yang thus obliterated these two families, but for the other families involved in Patriarch Chen’s sche, Su Yang killed those who were part of it. As for the rest, although he spared them, he also forced them to exit the Ten Great Families, no longer to involve themselves in the affairs of Hanxi Province.
Nevertheless, these remaining families still felt like they had narrowly escaped death, profoundly grateful. After all, the previous three families with Earth Immortals had ended up the sa. They didn’t have Earth Immortals as their backbone and yet managed to escape such a fate, which was indeed very fortunate.
In two hours, the frawork of Hanxi Province’s Ten Great Families was clearly redefined by Su Yang.
Two families were obliterated, five families had their family heads killed, and many within their ranks were dealt with. They were also forced out of the Ten Great Families, becoming uninvolved in Hanxi Province’s matters.
The other three families had more fortune. One of them was the Tao Family, undoubtedly the biggest beneficiary. After all, the Tao Family had a connection with the Shen Family of Jiangnan Province. And the Shen Family, having staunchly supported Su Yang during the incident at Wanhu City, was regarded by Su Yang as an ’insider’. Since the Tao Family had the Shen Family’s backing, they naturally enjoyed an exceptionally advantageous position under Su Yang.
The other two families were lucky as well, both being clans not particularly close to the Liu Family and were already marginalized by the other seven families. They weren’t deeply involved in the recent events, lacking the ans to curry favor with Liu Shuangcan, and were in a precarious position.
Yet, during this upheaval, these two ostracized families gained substantial benefits. Not only were their families unhard, but they also received substantial trust from Su Yang.
The Seven Great Families, two annihilated, and the other five retired; naturally, many interests in Hanxi Province needed to be redistributed.
The Six Great Families of Liuan City that ca with Su Yang, along with Dao Shixun’s Tao Family, naturally gained the most benefits. The rest were allocated to these two families, who also acquired considerable advantages, significantly boosting their strength.
Following this incident, the hierarchy of Hanxi Province’s Ten Great Families was re-established. Dao Shixun’s Tao Family erged as the foremost family in Hanxi Province. The six families from Liuan City followed closely behind, with Hu Wannian’s Hu Family even becoming the second-ranked family in Hanxi Province.
The two fortunate families remained within the ranks of the Ten Great Families. Thus, nine families were confird with one more to be selected from other cities—an issue Su Yang no longer had to concern himself with.
