Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 922: Chapter 921 Still want to lie?

Leading the way was none other than the Sect Master of the Great Healers Sect, Li Tai Yi.

Li Tai Yi walked into the hall with his head low, his face ashen.

After Su Yang had activated the Four Symbols Formation, Li Tai Yi and the others knew that the situation had turned dire, and they hastily began to flee down the mountain with the members of the Great Healers Sect.

The appearance of the Terrestrial Immortals had initially made Li Tai Yi believe that their family alliance was sure to win. Unexpectedly, the situation rapidly took a turn for the worse, with even the Law Enforcers coming down to aid Su Yang, making him fully realize that their cause was lost.

Therefore, as soon as Su Yang deactivated the Four Symbols Formation, Li Tai Yi was the first to flee with his people from the Great Healers Sect.

It was their familiarity with the terrain of Accumulated Cloud Mountain, coupled with their position closest to the exterior, that allowed them to slip away unnoticed amidst the chaos.

However, they hadn’t gotten far before Fatty, leading his men, caught up with them and forcefully brought them back.

Fatty herded these people into the grand hall and sat down next to Su Yang, before grabbing a teacup from the table and gulping it down, ”Ah, I’m parched from all the running. These bastards really know how to make a getaway, heading for all those remote places. If my group hadn’t been large, they might have really gotten away this time!”

Su Yang remained silent. At this moment, Li Tai Yi suddenly stepped forward and fell to his knees with a thud, his voice trembling, ”Alliance Leader Su, I... I realize my mistake. This matter was solely my decision. I acted alone, and I should bear the consequences alone. Alliance Leader Su, please... kill me, and spare the others from the Great Healers Sect. I... I am willing to take responsibility for all the wrongs!”

The members of the Great Healers Sect gasped in unison, seemingly moved by Li Tai Yi’s gesture of sacrificing himself to save others.

Su Yang, however, remained calm. He picked up the teapot from the table, poured Fatty a glass of water, and then turned to look coldly at Li Tai Yi, ”Spare the others? Impossible!”

Li Tai Yi’s face changed, and he pleaded urgently, ”Alliance Hierarch, I am alone responsible for my actions. I... I bear the consequences alone. You... Why take out your anger on everyone? They are members of the Great Healers Sect, and they had to follow my orders. This matter was entirely my decision, it has nothing to do with them. Can’t you... spare them? Must you be so thoroughly ruthless?”

”Is it I who is being ruthless, or were your actions too cruel?” Su Yang put down the teapot, his gaze chilling as he addressed Li Tai Yi, ”Do you really think that I know nothing of what you’ve done?”

”I... What have I done?” Li Tai Yi’s face revealed a hint of panic.

”Who spread the rumor that I hadn’t encountered Qi Jian’an and Qi Zhishan at Lake Heart Island?” Su Yang asked coldly.

Li Tai Yi shivered, his voice trembling, ”I... I don’t know...”

”You don’t know?” Su Yang replied icily. ”Do you really think you can get away with your actions as if they were flawless? Did you think that by finding a few obscure debauched scions to spread the rumors, no one would find out? Do you realize that for such unknown scions to spread a rumor across the entire Southern Six Provinces overnight, they would have to do many things and cause significant commotion? Investigating this matter was not at all difficult for me!”

Li Tai Yi turned utterly pale, his voice trembling, ”Master Su, I... I was wrong... I merely mentioned it casually. I... I had no idea those debauched scions would spread these rumors. I... I never imagined it would lead to such trouble. I really didn’t know anything, I truly didn’t want this, I truly had no intention...”

Jeang Zier and others were still in the room; hearing these words, they were all taken aback, staring dumbfounded at Li Tai Yi and his people.

”The news was actually spread by you?” Jeang Zier’s voice trembled with emotion. Because of this incident, several members of the Divine Farmer Sect had died, and she had been holding on to anger in her heart.

Now that she learned the source of the rumors was Li Tai Yi and his people, Jeang Zier looked as though she had seen her true enemies, her eyes turning red.

Li Tai Yi’s entire body shuddered. ”I... I really didn’t do it on purpose...”

”If it wasn’t intentional, why did you force those debauched scions to ingest poison and compel them to spread the message?” Su Yang questioned coldly.

”You... You actually did such a thing?” Jeang Zier erupted in anger. Had Su Yang not been present, she would likely have struck Li Tai Yi dead by now.

Li Tai Yi fell into a complete silence, not expecting that Su Yang knew all about his deeds. He gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, ”Alliance Leader Su, I admit my mistake in this matter. But the people of our sect, they acted under my command ...”

”You better shut your mouth!” Su Yang thundered furiously. ”Do you think I’m not aware of what the people from your sect did? Whether they obeyed your orders or acted willingly, do you not know? When that female disciple from the Hua Tuo Sect was being humiliated, several people from your Great Healers Sect were involved, and yet you expect me to spell it out?”

Li Tai Yi glanced at Su Yang. Knowing that Su Yang was aware of even this incident, he realized he had no more excuses to offer.

Indeed, members of the Great Healers Sect had been present during the incident involving the female disciple from the Hua Tuo Sect, and they had even participated in the humiliation. However, at the time, these people had appeared as members of the Xie Family, and no one from the Hua Tuo Sect knew the Great Healers Sect was involved.

Li Tai Yi had not expected Su Yang to have such a thorough understanding of the events, a fact that took him completely by surprise. He had thought that Su Yang didn’t know much, so he had intended to take the blame himself to save his sect by sacrificing himself.

But now, that was clearly impossible. The involvement of the Great Healers Sect in the whole affair was too deep for any of them to escape punishment!
