Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 166: Chapter 166: Four Families Become Three

Zhou Chuan and Gu Fang exchanged a glance, their expressions exceedingly unsightly.

Before the Ding Family had arrived, if Su Yang had spoken this way, they would have definitely resisted.

However, the current situation with the Ding Family had thoroughly made them realize Su Yang’s strength. At this time, who would dare to challenge Su Yang?

Zhou Chuan coughed lightly and looked towards Zhou Xue’er beside him, motioning for Zhou Xue’er to plead for mercy.

Zhou Xue’er’s face was full of reluctance, but she still took a step forward and said in a low voice, ”Su Yang...”

”Xue’er!” Su Yang cut her off directly, ”You have always been my friend, and I don’t deny that. So, I don’t want you to speak up for others. If I had arrived later today, Zhao Qiupeng and Xie Wei would have already been dead. Now, I’m only asking the Zhou Family Head to kneel, is this not courteous enough?”

Zhou Xue’er slowly nodded, stepped back, and whispered, ”Uncle, I can’t manage this matter!”

Zhou Chuan’s face was full of defeat, and he looked towards Gu Fang, who was still stubbornly clenching his teeth. But how long could this kind of stubborn resistance last?

”Take your time to think, I’ll go and deal with the bodies first,” said Su Yang with a light laugh. ”Before the bodies are dealt with, I hope you can come to a conclusion. Otherwise, I will take it that you do not wish to kneel!”

With that, Su Yang walked among the corpses, and a black Shadow Phantom slowly emerged from his body.

This Shadow Phantom looked like a person, roughly thirty feet tall, much taller than the first time Su Yang had used it, when it was only about ten feet tall. The size of the Shadow Phantom grew along with Su Yang’s increasing strength.

The Shadow Phantom slowly bent down, opened its mouth to suck, and the bodies were directly swallowed into its belly.

Since the Shadow Phantom was not a physical entity, those outside could clearly see what was happening inside its belly. The bodies rapidly shriveled and withered away inside the Shadow Phantom, and then disappeared without a trace.

Everyone was stunned. What kind of technique was this, so formidable?

More than a hundred bodies quickly went down by half.

At this moment, with a thud, Zhou Chuan directly knelt on the ground. Seeing this, he knew that Su Yang truly was an existence they could not afford to provoke!

By the time that the last half was almost done, Gu Fang also knelt down, having completely collapsed.

Of the four Family Heads of the major families, Ding Zhannan was crippled, Gu Fang and Zhou Chuan had knelt down, leaving only Fang Wenzhong standing.

At this time, the people from the Fang Family couldn’t help but look towards Fang Ziyu. Fang Wenzhong managed to remain standing solely because of Fang Ziyu’s achievements. If not for Fang Ziyu choosing to support Su Yang at the most critical moment, perhaps the Fang Family Head would have had to kneel by now!

After dealing with all the bodies, Su Yang said with a light smile, ”Those who understand the times are brilliant men. Since you have knelt down, I will spare their lives.”

Zhou Chuan and Gu Fang took a deep breath, feeling a sense of relief as if they had survived a catastrophe.

”However, listen carefully!” Su Yang said coldly, ”From today onwards, there will be three major families instead of four. Also, the three major families must respect the Fang Family. Anyone who disobeys will follow the Ding Family’s example!”

The crowd’s expression changed, as Su Yang was intent on thoroughly disrupting the situation in Nanluo City.

With the three major families respecting the Fang Family, and the Fang Family clearly respecting Su Yang, it meant that Su Yang was effectively in indirect control of the three major families.

But at such a time, who would dare to say anything?

The Gu and Zhou families fled in panic with their people, the Ding Family became history, and of this incident, it was the Fang Family that benefited the most.

Su Yang did not rush to leave but stayed with the Fang Family.

After tidying up the chaotic scene a bit, Fang Wenzhong personally welcomed Su Yang into the hall to sit down.

”Master Su, for today’s events, we owe you our gratitude!” Fang Wenzhong thanked him again.

”There’s no need for such formalities,” Su Yang waved his hand and said, ”I’ve said before, this is a favor I owed Fang Ziyu that I need to repay.”

Fang Wenzhong looked at Fang Ziyu, filled with emotion. How could he have imagined that an investment made on a whim by Fang Ziyu would bring such a blessing to the Fang Family?

”By the way, I’ve heard that the Fang Family has been having some difficulties recently?” Su Yang looked towards Fang Wenzhong. ”Is it true?”

”Ah!” Fang Wenzhong couldn’t help but sigh, saying, ”Speaking of which, it really is like that. Recently, for some reason, all our business ventures have been failing.”

”Members of our family either get into car accidents or die unexpectedly, all kinds of accidents have been happening. You could say that recently our family has been in utter chaos.”

”We have had to sell many of the family’s assets just to keep afloat. But now, the family is in an exceedingly dangerous situation. If we sell a few more core assets, I’m afraid our Fang Family’s hundred years of foundation will crumble in my hands!”

”Is that so?” Su Yang asked. ”Have you ever thought about what might be the cause of all this?”

”Cause?” Fang Wenzhong was stunned for a moment, then shook his head. ”We can only say that our luck has been poor. Just so you know, another member of our family died the day before yesterday, and it was Ziyu’s little aunt. Do you know how she died? Choked to death on a chicken bone! How could there be any reason for something like that? It can only be said that it was bad luck!”

Su Yang remembered that at the clubhouse two days before, Fang Ziyu had received a phone call and left in a panicked state. It must have been about this incident.

”There is no such thing as good luck or bad luck. The Fang Family has prospered smoothly up to this point; how could things suddenly turn out this way?” Su Yang shook his head. ”There must be a reason for this!”

”I think so too,” said Fang Wenzhong. ”For this reason, I specifically sought out several Feng Shui masters to look at our house’s Feng Shui and our ancestors’ graves. But they found nothing, and I truly have no idea why!”

Upon hearing these words, Su Yang’s eyes lit up, and he asked, ”By the way, do you know someone named Fang Jingshan?”

”Fang Jingshan?” Fang Wenzhong was taken aback. ”That... that is my great-uncle, Ziyu’s great-grandfather. But he has been dead for many years, how... how do you know about him?”

”That’s it!” Su Yang immediately struck the table. ”So, he is one of your ancestors. No wonder the Fang Family has fallen into the current state!”

”What?” Fang Wenzhong looked astonished. ”Master Su, what exactly... what exactly is going on?”

Su Yang said, ”Do you know that Fang Jingshan’s grave has been tampered with?”

”What?” Fang Wenzhong was dumbfounded. ”How is that possible? I had several Feng Shui masters go and inspect it, but there was... there were no changes...”

”The one who tampered with the grave wasn’t very skilled, and the Feng Shui masters you hired failed to notice it; it seems these Feng Shui masters aren’t worth much after all!” Su Yang said softly.

”This...” Fang Wenzhong was momentarily stunned before hurriedly prostrating on the ground and pleading in a trembling voice, ”Master Su, please save our Fang Family!”
