Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 222: Chapter 222 Three-Headed Deity

Su Yang held his breath and focused, trying to sense the presence carefully, and indeed he faintly captured the aura of the person in black.

That meant, the person in black had visited Liao Yuxuan’s home at least once. This person in black was indeed related to the Liao Family!

Following this aura, Su Yang arrived at the study, and step by step, he approached a particular bookshelf. The presence was strongest here, yet, there seemed to be no way forward.

Su Yang stared at the bookshelf for a while, and his gaze finally settled on one of the books. He reached out, pulled out half of the book, and with a creaking sound, the floor revealed a pitch-black hole.

There was a secret chamber beneath this study!

Su Yang entered the secret chamber, which was quite spacious. Immediately upon entering, he smelled a strong scent of incense. The presence of the person in black was most potent here too, indicating that this person must have lingered in this chamber!

Surveying the surroundings, Su Yang glanced around to get a general impression of the chamber.

In the center of the chamber stood an altar. On the altar, there was a statue with three heads and six arms, one fierce, one compassionate, and one indifferent. The six hands each held a peculiar-looking magic artifact.

In front of the altar, there was a huge incense burner filled with ashes, suggesting someone worshipped here day and night.

Su Yang circled the statue once and finally fixated his gaze on the head corresponding to the compassionate face.

The statue seemed to gaze back at Su Yang, as if a lofty deity looked down mercifully upon the worldly mortals below, invoking an irresistible urge to worship.

”Playing god!” Su Yang snorted coldly and pressed his hand directly onto the statue.

The statue’s gaze immediately changed, the fierce face’s eyes turning red, and the magic artifacts in its six hands emitting a faint glow, as if the angered deity was ready to smite the mortal who dared challenge its dignity!

Without paying any heed, Su Yang unleashed his strength, shattering the statue to pieces.

A stream of light emanated from within the statue, and behind Su Yang, a Shadow Phantom emerged, opening its large mouth and swallowing the light entirely.

Devouring the Heavens, nothing could escape!

When the light entered his body, a sharp glint flickered in Su Yang’s eyes. This light was somehow eerily similar to the Spiritual Energy from the geomantic treasure spot.

Su Yang couldn’t help but give the statue another look. It seemed that the statue had been worshipped for no short time, and Spiritual Energy had begun to condense in it. If enough time passed, wouldn’t it transform into a true deity?

Now, all of that Spiritual Energy had become his bridal dress. With this energy absorbed, Su Yang’s strength would advance even further!

Of course, with this act, Su Yang had made an enemy of the statue. The statue likely wasn’t the only one of its kind, and more troublingly, there might be a real deity behind it!

Nevertheless, Su Yang was not afraid. This must be the Liao Family’s secret, and since it was related to them, a confrontation was inevitable sooner or later. He understood the principle of striking first!

Su Yang made another round of the chamber and eventually found several medicinal bottles beneath the altar.

Upon opening and smelling them, Su Yang frowned. These bottles contained various enchanting drugs. What could the Liao Family be planning with these?

Finding nothing else, Su Yang left the chamber. Of course, he left without a trace, and when the Liao Family returned, they would have no idea Su Yang had been here.

At this moment, the Liao Family had no time to return anyway. Zhao Changlong, the Zhao Family Head, had arrived in Nanluo City, and all of the Liao Family went to welcome him.

Accompanying them to the welcome were Fang Cui and Lin Qingru.

Fang Cui had already heard from Lin Qingru about Liao Yuxuan’s family matters, and she nearly burst into laughter.

How could the Qin Family’s connections and the Zhao Family’s connections be any worse than the Hou Family’s?

The most crucial point was that Su Yang’s relationship with the Hou Family was just friendship, whereas for the Liao Family and the Qin and Zhao Families, it was a bond of blood and flesh.

Qin Haishan’s only illegitimate daughter, who had been wandering outside for decades before she was found. Wouldn’t Qin Haishan have to be wholeheartedly good to her?

The Zhao Family was about to enter the Ten Great Families, and with the relationship with the Qin Family, the difficulty surely wouldn’t be great.

By then, the Liao Family would have two of the Ten Great Families’ closest kin.

In front of this relationship, what did the Hou Family count for, what did Su Yang count for?

Just as Liao Yuxuan had said, the Zhao Family currently treated the Liao Family extremely well. Zhao Changlong was incredibly affectionate the first time he met Liao Yuxuan. After all, the connection with the Qin Family was there.

Liao Yuxuan was also very clever, immediately introducing Fang Cui and Lin Qingru to Zhao Changlong.

When Zhao Changlong heard that Lin Qingru was already carrying Liao Yuxuan’s child, he was even more pleased, and directly had someone send Lin Qingru a necklace worth more than 300,000 as a meeting gift.

This made Fang Cui’s eyes nearly pop out, her heart thumping wildly, and her vision dazzled with excitement.

Lin Qingru herself was so happy she was almost dizzy. Her only thought now was irritation at why her father hadn’t come. If he saw such a scene, would he still say she wasn’t good enough for Su Yang?

After chatting for a while, Fang Cui quietly tugged on Lin Qingru’s clothes and whispered, ”Your uncle and aunt are still locked up, can you see if they can be released too?”

Lin Qingru hesitated, but still talked to Liao Yuxuan about this matter. Liao Yuxuan was straightforward, and immediately brought it up with Zhao Changlong.

When Zhao Changlong learned they were put away by the Hou Family, he immediately said with a smile, ”No problem, I’ll take care of this matter. Although this is Nanluo City, my Zhao Family still holds some influence here.”

Zhao Changlong made a few calls, and soon, Fang Jianhong, Fang Hui, and Ki Mulin were brought over.

Fang Jianhong and the others were still in a daze, originally thinking this time they were completely done for. Unexpectedly, they were released and sent directly here. What was the situation?

Fang Cui was excited, she immediately greeted them, ”Second brother, third brother, you’ve suffered!”

Fang Jianhong scratched his head and spoke softly, ”Sis, did you get us out?”

”Otherwise?” Fang Cui crossed her arms, proudly saying, ”Did you really think Su Yang and the Hou Family would let you go?”

”Really?” Fang Hui’s eyes widened, ”Sis, you... how did you do it? The Hou Family wanted to finish us off...”

Fang Cui laughed, ”It wasn’t me who did it. It was your cousin Qingru’s grand uncle who helped you!”

”Qingru’s grand uncle?” They were shocked once more.

Fang Cui proudly revealed the identity she had found, and the eyes of Fang Jianhong and the others immediately lit up. My god, the strength of this family wasn’t much less than the Hou Family!

”I always said Yuxuan was a good kid...” Fang Hui immediately said, ”Handsome, well-mannered, of high quality, respectful to elders - unlike wild children like Su Yang. It’s our Qingru who has the eye for a good son-in-law!”
