Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1456: Chapter 1455: Do You Think I Only Have This One Video?

Su Yang raised his phone with a faint smile and said, ”Who would like to volunteer as a mediator and take a look at the video on this phone?”

The crowd exchanged uncertain glances, but the Second Elder secretly felt a sense of relief. He discreetly glanced toward an old man hovering in the air and gave him a subtle nod.

That old man was on very good terms with the Second Elder, but their relationship was private. This time, the Second Elder had only invited people from the Heavenly Blade Peak, Soaring Cloud Pavilion, and Horizon’s End. This old man did not belong to these three sects and thus had not been included in the arrangements.

The old man frowned slightly, immediately understanding the intent behind the Second Elder’s gesture. However, recalling the annual supply of elixirs he received from the Second Elder, he reluctantly stepped forward despite his misgivings.

”I’ll do it!” the old man declared, stepping forward.

”It’s Elder Li from the Innate Sect!”

”Elder Li as the mediator—how fitting!”

Whispers spread through the crowd as the Headmaster frowned, looking as though he wanted to object.

However, Su Yang interrupted, saying, ”Then thank you, Elder Li!”

The Headmaster was momentarily speechless and glanced helplessly at Su Yang, unable to say anything in time.

Elder Li descended beside Su Yang and took the phone from his hand. He fiddled with it briefly before frowning. ”Where is the video you mentioned?”

”Didn’t I already pull it up just now?” Su Yang asked.

”There’s nothing here!” Elder Li handed the phone back to Su Yang, saying, ”I don’t see anything!”

Su Yang glanced at the screen. Sure enough, it was completely empty—there was no video visible.

The Second Elder seized the opportunity, instantly raising his voice. ”Su, this is the so-called evidence you’re talking about? Are you trying to bluff us?”

Su Yang fixed a cold gaze on Elder Li. ”When I handed it over just now, there was definitely a video on it.”

”Are you implying that I tampered with it?” Elder Li’s face darkened, and he glared at Su Yang with dissatisfaction.

”Whether you tampered with it or not is irrelevant...” Su Yang said calmly, ”Do you really think I’d only have one copy of such an important piece of evidence?”

The Second Elder’s expression immediately faltered, and Elder Li’s heart missed a beat.

The two of them had acted rashly in a moment of panic and hadn’t thought things through. Reflecting now, they both realized the truth in Su Yang’s words—something so critical as this evidence would surely have multiple backups.

”This evidence has been backed up more than ten thousand times,” Su Yang said coldly. ”Everyone around me has a copy on their phones. In the Capital City alone, there are thousands of copies, and I’ve uploaded thousands more online. Elder Li, for someone of your stature to do something like this—is it really worth it?”

Elder Li erupted with anger. ”Are you accusing me outright of tampering with it?”

”What really happened, everyone here knows in their hearts.” Su Yang waved dismissively. ”I won’t argue with you. Let’s just watch the video. This time, to be safe, I think it’s best to have representatives from all the Ten Great Sects present, so we avoid any more tricks!”

The sect members floating in midair glanced at one another but showed no intention of coming down. Everyone could see by now that Su Yang’s evidence was likely real and that the Medicine Sect had indeed acted improperly. But even though they understood this, no one wanted to review the evidence publicly.

After all, even if it were proven that the Medicine Sect had framed Su Yang, what could they do about it? Could they really band together to take on the Medicine Sect? That was impossible. However, if the Medicine Sect were provoked, and they decided to withhold their supply of elixirs, it would cause major trouble for all the large sects here. So, despite the truth being clear, no one dared to speak up for justice.

The Second Elder’s face twitched with a trace of a cold smile. This situation felt entirely satisfactory to him.

Evidence or not—what does it matter? When faced with absolute power, what value does truth hold?

Seeing the silence of the crowd, Su Yang merely snorted and said aloud, ”It seems everyone is quite preoccupied. How about this: I’ll project the video onto a large screen—this way, everyone can have a clear look at it.”

Without waiting for a response, Su Yang motioned for his men to bring out equipment.

A large projection screen, powered by a portable battery, was quickly set up.

Su Yang placed the phone on the table and said with a smile, ”I invite everyone to bear witness.”

As soon as Su Yang’s words landed, someone suddenly leaped out from the crowd, charging straight at the screen, attempting to smash it.

Fortunately, Su Yang was prepared. The Four Divine Beast Jade Stones, which had been pre-placed around the area, activated just in time, blocking the person.

The attacker was none other than Wang Ding. Su Yang glanced at him and laughed. ”Wang Ding, do you really think you can destroy all of the evidence? At this point, do you still plan to deceive yourself?”

The people from Qinghe Academy also stepped forward, staring intently at the members of the Medicine Sect to prevent further sabotage.

The Second Elder’s face twisted in frustration. The moment Wang Ding acted, the Second Elder realized that Wang Ding was indeed lying.

Under the protection of Qinghe Academy, Su Yang played the video on the screen.

The crowd saw everything clearly—what had happened after Su Yang left, including Wang Ding’s conversations with his fellow disciples. During their exchange, they even explicitly discussed their prior intent to harm Zi’er.

This completely confirmed Su Yang’s claims. Indeed, it was Wang Ding and his disciples who had intended to disgrace Zi’er, prompting Su Yang to step in and injure them.

After watching the video, many of the onlookers began to regard the Medicine Sect with disdain.

But what happened next shocked everyone even more.

Wang Ding suddenly turned on his own disciples, killing them outright. This left the Second Elder stunned.

The Second Elder had only figured out that Wang Ding was lying, but this was still his disciple—he had always been protective of Wang Ding. Even if Wang Ding had lied, he had planned to shield him.

But seeing Wang Ding kill his fellow disciples on the spot left the Second Elder utterly devastated.

His own disciple had killed his other disciples. Now, who could he possibly defend?

The entire crowd was in stunned silence, unable to process what had just unfolded.

Moments later, the crowd broke into a commotion once again.

”He killed his own disciples?”

”Unbelievable! Truly unbelievable!”

”Killing their own and then trying to frame someone else? And they nearly killed an innocent man? The Medicine Sect... tsk tsk.”

”Ki Yongchuan, didn’t you trust the Second Elder? Come on, what do you have to say now?”

”No wonder Ki Yongchuan refused to hear Su Yang’s defense. He probably knew what was happening all along!”

”Horizon’s End, I spit on you!”

The expressions of the people from Heavenly Blade Peak and Horizon’s End twisted into visible discomfort, as if they had swallowed a fly. The embarrassment was unbearable.
