Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1363: Chapter 1362 Empty Tomb Not Empty

”What else did this middle-aged man say?” Su Yang asked.

Zhao Xuefen shook her head: ”He just asked if your father was at home. I said he wasn’t, and he left without asking anything else.”

Su Yang couldn’t help feeling puzzled. What matter did this middle-aged man have with Su Ping? Also, what was the identity of this middle-aged man? This was also something that greatly puzzled Su Yang.

”Where did he go afterwards?” Su Yang asked.

”I don’t know,” Zhao Xuefen paused, ”However, I contacted Young Master Hou, and he seemed to have sent someone to follow him. He should know the specifics.”

Su Yang did not hesitate and immediately contacted Hou Shilin.

Hou Shilin was surprised upon receiving Su Yang’s call, not expecting Su Yang to choose this time to return.

”That middle-aged man, just wandered around the place your family used to live and then left. I sent people to follow him to the mountains up north, and he suddenly disappeared; afterward, we didn’t know where he went.”

”What do you mean by suddenly disappeared?” Su Yang asked in astonishment.

”It was like watching right before my eyes, he just vanished,” Hou Shilin said, ”I had sent three groups to follow him, and they all reported the same thing; he just suddenly disappeared. It was as if by magic, without any noise, without any signs, he just vanished.”

Su Yang was taken aback, this situation was indeed shocking. Even with Su Yang’s capabilities at his level, it would be impossible to disappear so suddenly. Such sudden disappearance was like teleportation, how did this middle-aged man achieve that.

Unable to find out about the middle-aged man, Su Yang decided to let it be for now and asked Hou Shilin to keep an eye on any outsiders entering Nanluo City recently, especially those who might wander near his home.

Hou Shilin didn’t know what was going on, but he also immediately deployed people around Su Yang’s home to prevent any unexpected incidents.

Su Yang didn’t idle either; after sitting at home for a while, he went to find Wang Pangzi.

Wang Pangzi was quite busy nowadays; he was managing all the businesses Su Yang had in Pingnan Province and had indeed become a successful person.

Now, many experts were also gathering around Wang Pangzi. Master Fang, who had entered the Fusion Realm a long time ago, had been assisting Wang Pangzi. And Eight-Faced Yama, a former expert of the Fusion Realm, had now become The Sovereign and was also following Wang Pangzi.

In fact, even Wang Pangzi himself had unknowingly entered the Fusion Realm. Su Yang had taught him the Great Thousand-Year Dream, which allowed cultivation in sleep, very mysterious and particularly suitable for someone like Wang Pangzi who tended to be sleepy. His cultivation was also very effective, advancing swiftly into the Fusion Realm.

Wang Pangzi was extremely pleased to see Su Yang and hurriedly pulled Su Yang out for a drink.

Since Su Yang was free, he went with Wang Pangzi to Six Degrees Bar.

Six Degrees Bar had already opened five branches in Nanluo City. Liu Liu was out purchasing stock today, not in the bar. The main bar in the university town was overseen by Li Liang.

Li Liang could now be considered a successful person, the manager of these bars of Liu Liu. Normally, he no longer needed to mix drinks himself, leaving it to the bartenders below. However, seeing Su Yang and Wang Pangzi coming over, he immediately ran down and personally mixed drinks for them.

But in fact, in terms of mixing drinks, Li Liang was still nowhere near as good as Su Yang. After all, those few professional skills Li Liang used to make a living were also taught by Su Yang.

The two drank for more than two hours; when brothers meet, there naturally are endless topics to discuss.

Eventually, Su Yang sent Fatty back and then went alone to the village where he had lived before.

The middle-aged man wandered around this area for a while, Su Yang didn’t know what he was up to. So, Su Yang came back here himself and wandered around for some time, to see if there was anything special about this place.

The village was still the same as before, only that Su Yang’s family no longer lived here, so the house they once lived in was now in ruins.

Su Yang wandered around the area for a while, but didn’t find anything unusual.

Just as he was about to leave, Su Yang suddenly remembered something and immediately ran towards the mountain behind the village.

There was a grave on this mountain. When Su Yang was young, Su Ping would often take him to worship at this grave. However, Su Ping was not from here; he had married into the family, and his relatives were not buried here.

In fact, Su Ping had also told Su Yang that this grave was an empty one, and worshipping it was merely a form of remembrance.

If nothing special was discovered at home, could there be something unusual about this grave?

It had been a long time since Su Yang last visited this grave.

Coming back again, everything nearby remained largely unchanged, and Su Yang quickly found the grave in the lush forest.

The grave stood isolated in the midst of the mountain woods. As Su Yang approached the grave, he felt an unusual force emanating from it.

In the past, when Su Yang visited, he hadn’t started cultivating and was not sensitive to such forces. This time, however, he could distinctly feel the powerful energy inside the grave.

Feeling astounded, Su Yang thought that his suspicion must be correct; there certainly must be something special inside this grave.

Su Yang circled the grave a couple of times, pondered for a while, and decided to open the grave. After all, it was an empty grave, and there must be something particularly important hidden inside. Now that people had started coming to Nanluo City, Su Yang didn’t want whatever was inside to be taken by others.

Opening the grave wasn’t difficult; for someone of Su Yang’s capacity, it was merely a matter of one palm strike. However, Su Yang did not do so; instead, he carefully scraped away the earth, handful by handful.

Su Yang didn’t know exactly what was inside the grave, nor where exactly the contents were buried. Hence, he didn’t dare to recklessly open the grave with a single palm strike, in case he damaged the contents.

After digging down about three meters, Su Yang finally encountered something hard. He hurriedly cleared the surrounding dirt, revealing an iron box about a foot wide.

Su Yang took the iron box out, blew the dust off from around it, and carefully opened the iron box.

Inside was a cloth bag and a rather large Bronze Seal Script!

Su Yang was stunned; to find a Bronze Seal Script here? Didn’t this further prove that the Secret Technique he was learning, and even Su Ping himself, had an inseparable connection with Su Zhan?
