Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 934: Chapter 933 Qi Family Concedes

Qi Jian’an’s face was icy, his teeth clenched as he said, ”Su Yang, spare me your nonsense. You actually dare to attack the doorstep of the Qi Family of Wanhu, thinking we’re an easy target? Let me tell you, get your lackeys out of here immediately, or I’ll slaughter them all!”

”Qi Jian’an, are you trying to scare me?” Su Yang chuckled coldly. ”You want to kill my men? Why don’t you just kill me as well?”

Qi Jian’an’s face remained frosty, he was, after all, a defeated subordinate of Su Yang’s and naturally didn’t dare to say anything to him. Especially after Su Yang defeated Han Tianyuan, he realized that the gap between him and Su Yang was widening.

”Su Yang, do you really intend to strut about in my Qi Family’s territory?” Qi Jian’an spoke in a deep voice. ”You told me to make my Qi Family stay out of worldly affairs, and we have steered clear of others’ business. My Qi Family has already shown you enough face. What else do you want to be satisfied? Do you really want to irreparably tear our faces with the Qi Family?”

”Shown me enough face?” Su Yang snorted coldly. ”Don’t tell me you’re unaware of the deeds those five old fools of your Qi Family have done!”

Qi Jian’an, of course, knew what the five ancestors of the Qi Family had done, but how could he admit it now with Su Yang at their doorstep?

”Let bygones be bygones, there’s no need to keep harping on them!” Qi Jian’an said. ”Our family ancestor has decreed that, from now on, our Qi Family will not be involved in any affairs related to you. We will also erase our past grudges against you. Isn’t that enough?”

”Hahaha...” Su Yang burst into laughter. ”If the Qi Family had said this to me before, I indeed would have been very satisfied. But now, it’s meaningless for the Qi Family to say such things to me!”

”What do you mean by that?” Qi Jian’an said angrily.

”Don’t you understand?” Su Yang spoke coldly. ”I can’t trust the Qi Family!”

”You... You’ve got some nerve...” Qi Jian’an raged.

”I’ve always been audacious; is this the first time you’re hearing of it?” Su Yang said coldly. ”Don’t you remember clearly what happened the last time I went to Lake Heart Island?”

Qi Jian’an was at a loss for words, as Su Yang managed to take down more than a dozen members of the Qi Family right in front of many people on Lake Heart Island. This alone had proven Su Yang’s dominance. Why would he fear them now?

”The five elders of the Qi Family are accustomed to reneging on their words. They promised not to interfere with external affairs, yet during the battle at Accumulated Cloud Mountain, they led the Qi Family’s great formation there in person, wanting to stab me in the back!” Su Yang spoke coldly. ”Such untrustworthy Qi Family elders, no different from five old tortoises. And now you want me to listen to your promises again? You must be dreaming.”

Qi Jian’an’s complexion turned ashen, his teeth gritted. ”Then what exactly do you want?”

”It’s simple, I want your Qi Family’s outer court!” Su Yang paused, then continued coldly. ”And those people hidden on Lake Heart Island.”

”What people are hidden on Lake Heart Island?” Qui Jian’an asked anxiously.

Su Yang glanced at him. ”Qi Jian’an, don’t play dumb with me here. The group taken away by the Third Elder of the Shen Family sought refuge on Lake Heart Island after the battle at Accumulated Cloud Mountain, seeking to serve and be protected by the Qi Family. Also, those from Jiangnan Province who are against me, those who killed many around Shen Jing’an, are also hiding on Lake Heart Island. Do you really think I’m unaware? The Qi Family backstabbed me, and now you’re hiding those who want to harm me. How should I treat the Qi Family, tell me?”

Qi Jian’an’s face turned even colder; indeed, those people were hiding on Lake Heart Island and were under the Qi Family’s protection. He had believed that Su Yang was clueless about this matter, but to his surprise, Su Yang knew it all too well.

This was problematic, as it gave Su Yang leverage over them. Whether to turn these people over was a troublesome issue now.

If they didn’t hand them over, Su Yang could force his way onto Lake Heart Island, and they would be powerless to stop him.

But if they did hand them over, the reputation of the Qi Family of Wanhu would be ruined. It would mean compromising with Su Yang yet again, and if word got out, wouldn’t everyone think the Qi Family of Wanhu had completely submitted to Su Yang? Who would take the Qi Family seriously then?

Seeing Qi Jian’an remained silent, Su Yang spoke coldly, ”Qi Jian’an, if you can’t make a decision, go back to those five old fools and let them make the call. If they can’t decide, then wait for me to storm Lake Heart Island and personally take the people out, so we don’t waste my time here!”

Qi Jian’an clenched his fists. If it weren’t for his fear of Su Yang’s strength, he truly would have wanted to fight Su Yang. But in the end, he could only swallow his pride, saying angrily, ”You wait, I’ll go report to the five ancestors right away!”

”Be quick, I’m giving you half an hour. If I don’t have an answer by then, I’ll have to storm Lake Heart Island!” Su Yang said with a light smile.

Qi Jian’an stormed back to Lake Heart Island with a pallid face. He had no choice now but to consult the five elders.

Indeed, after the Five Directional Great Formation of the Qi Family was broken during the last battle at Accumulated Cloud Mountain, the five elders were also heavily injured. Since then, they had been in seclusion, focusing solely on healing and not seeing any outsiders. Qi Jian’an had been temporarily in charge of the Qi Family’s affairs!

But this time, Qi Jian’an really had no other option but to consult with the five elders about this matter.

Su Yang waited leisurely outside, knowing that there was no suspense in this matter. He wanted to crush the Qi Family once more, both to avenge the battle at Accumulated Cloud Mountain and to let the people of the Southern Six Provinces understand that being enemies with him, even the Qi Family couldn’t protect them.

Twenty-five minutes later, Qi Jian’an came out from Lake Heart Island with a grim face, followed by seventy to eighty people. They were precisely the group that Su Yang demanded they hand over.

These people were bound tight and gagged with cloth in their mouths. It seemed they had been loudly cursing just before. After all, when these people arrived at Lake Heart Island, the Qi Family had promised to shelter them, and now they were being handed over, much to their discontent.

”Su Yang, the people you wanted are all here, and the outer court is yours as well. However, I hope that from now on, you will have nothing more to do with my Qi Family!” Qi Jian’an said gravely.

”I don’t wish to be involved with your Qi Family either, but your Qi Family seem especially keen on troubling me!” Su Yang said helplessly. ”Take this Accumulated Cloud Mountain battle, for instance, can you blame me? If your Qi family’s five meddlesome elders hadn’t caused trouble, would things have come to this?”
