Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1164: Chapter 1163 Fang Mingyuan Takes Action

Seeing Su Yang not kneeling, the Third Ancestor appeared somewhat surprised.

He was a Terrestrial Immortal, and he knew very well the power of his strike.

Although Su Yang had already broken through his bottleneck, he was still not on par with a Terrestrial Immortal. Yet, the fact that Su Yang could withstand his strike without kneeling was no small feat indeed.

However, this only angered the Third Ancestor more. He frowned deeply and said coldly, ”Miscreant, you still dare to insult me, it’s detestable. On what grounds should I punish you? Hmph, I’m going to punish you today, what can you do about it? Kneel down!”

With a shout, the Third Ancestor swung his hand again, sending a more powerful Qing Guang towards Su Yang. If Su Yang were to forcefully resist, this strike could break his leg bones.

Su Yang clenched his teeth, gathered the power of the Celestial War Armor, and prepared to block the strike.

However, just as the blow was about to hit his legs, a beam of white light suddenly appeared and directly blocked the Qing Guang.

Su Yang was taken aback, but the Third Ancestor’s face turned icy as he looked up and roared, ”Fang Mingyuan, how dare you interfere in my matters?”

Su Yang was astonished; it was Fang Mingyuan who had come to his aid?

But, upon further reflection, it made sense. Fang Ping was killed by Wan Changgu from the Wan Family, and there was animosity between the Fang Family and the Wan Family, so it was natural for Fang Mingyuan to act against the Wan Family’s Third Ancestor!

”Wan Lao San, after all these years, you’re still so domineering!” With a light laugh, Fang Mingyuan walked out from behind Su Yang, standing beside him, and smiled, ”I was wondering, why shouldn’t I interfere with your matters? Wan Lao San, do you think you can order me around?”

Fang Mingyuan and the Wan Family’s Third Ancestor were of similar age, and they were rivals in their youth. Their strengths were comparable, and they had entered the Earthly Immortal Realm together. Over the years, they had always been secretly competing, neither willing to accept the other’s superiority. Seeing each other today and being so confrontational was quite normal.

The Wan Family’s Third Ancestor was furious and bellowed, ”Fang Mingyuan, are you planning to back this boy?”

”Not at all!” replied Fang Mingyuan straightforwardly.

”Then why do you meddle in our affairs!” the Wan Family’s Third Ancestor shouted angrily.

”I’m not meddling in your affairs; I am here to demand an explanation from the Wan Family,” Fang Mingyuan explained, waving his hand, ”Bring him up!”

Immediately, a group of people burst in from outside, carrying someone among them—it was Wan Changgu.

Wan Changgu had been tortured to a hardly human extent by the Fang Family, who had used all kinds of cruel methods on him. After all, Wan Changgu had killed the Fang Family’s heir, and had also caused the Fang Family to lose face in a major battle at Qinghe Academy. The members of the Fang Family harbored deep resentment towards him and, naturally, did not hold back in their punishment.

”Changgu!?” Wan Tianxiang’s complexion changed, and he urgently exclaimed, ”You... What are you Fang Family doing? Are you planning to start a war with our Wan Family?”

The power of the Wan Family in Capital City, although not as formidable as that of the Fang Family, was not much weaker. Usually, although the relationship between the two families wasn’t particularly harmonious, both sides were careful not to cause friction. For if they were to fight, it would surely be a lose-lose situation, something neither side wished to see.

Now that the Fang Family had inflicted such injuries on Wan Changgu, this had crossed the line, and the Wan Family couldn’t just sit idly by.

”Start a war?” Fang Mingyuan scoffed, ”This war, hasn’t it already started?”

The people of the Wan Family were all stunned, and the Wan Family’s Third Ancestor shouted angrily, ”Fang Mingyuan, what do you mean?”

”What do I mean? I’d like to ask, what did your Wan Family mean!” Fang Mingyuan demanded sternly, ”Letting this Wan Changgu kill my Fang Family successor, Fang Ping, what are you trying to do?”

With those words, everyone was shocked and turned their gaze to Wan Changgu; Wan Tianxiang too was dumbfounded and pressed, ”Changgu, this... what is this all about?”

”I... I didn’t kill Fang Ping, they are framing me, they are framing me...” Wan Changgu pleaded tremulously, ”Third Ancestor, save me, Family Head, save me...”

The expressions of the Wan Family members all turned cold as they looked towards Fang Mingyuan, and the Third Ancestor shouted angrily, ”Fang Mingyuan, what evidence do you have that he killed Fang Ping?!”

”I have a witness, he saw everything that day!” said Fang Mingyuan quietly.

”Where is this witness, bring him out for me to see!” the Third Ancestor shouted loudly.

”I am the witness!” said Su Yang directly.

Everyone looked at Su Yang in unison, none having expected that the witness would be Su Yang.

The Wan Family’s Third Ancestor was momentarily stunned but then frowned deeply and shouted angrily, ”You are a witness? What kind of crappy witness are you, harboring such hatred against our Wan Family, how could you testify? You’re clearly wanting to frame our Wan Family, and you even believe such lies, Fang Mingyuan?”

”Believe, of course I believe!” Fang Mingyuan replied with a light smile, ”Su Yang was present that day, and he saw everything!”

”Bullshit!” the Third Ancestor shouted, ”He was there, then why wasn’t it him who killed [Fang Ping], why was it us? Fang Mingyuan, are you fucking crazy? This Su surnamed guy is at loggerheads with our Wan Family, clearly framing us. I’m certain, it must have been this Su surnamed guy who killed [Fang Ping] and then framed my Wan Family!”

”Are you sure?” Fang Mingyuan asked with a light smile.

”Of course I’m sure!” the Third Ancestor replied loudly, always hot-tempered and impulsive in his actions, he was straightforward and did not know the subtleties of diplomacy.

”So, you think the Martial Champion made a mistake?” Fang Mingyuan asked slowly.

The Third Ancestor’s expression changed; how did this matter involve the Martial Champion?

”You... what nonsense are you talking about...” the Third Ancestor stammered, ”When did I say the Martial Champion made a mistake?”

”That day, people from my [Fang] family also suspected it was Su Yang. But later, Young Master Qee personally intervened, bringing a message from the Martial Champion. The Martial Champion said, it wasn’t Su Yang who killed my Fang Ping!” Fang Mingyuan looked at the Third Ancestor and said with a light smile, ”But, you just said it was definitely Su Yang. So, are you saying the Martial Champion made a mistake?”

The Third Ancestor was dumbfounded; he hadn’t known about this and certainly hadn’t known about Young Master Qee personally intervening to clear Su Yang. Had he known this, he would never have framed Su Yang. After all, doing so was tantamount to questioning the Martial Champion!

The Martial Champion had been stationed in Capital City for many years, and few dared to question him. Even some Earth Immortals had been killed by the Martial Champion. Although the Wan Family’s Third Ancestor was an Earth Immortal, and had been famous for nearly a century, he was nothing compared to the Martial Champion!

The Wan Family’s Third Ancestor could question people listed on the Heavenly List, but he dared not question the Martial Champion!
