Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1467: Chapter 1466: Blame Him

The surrounding people listened to the words of Ghost King San Yan and were deeply shocked: this was truly a fate worse than death!

The Second Elder heard the screams of his own disciple yet showed no trace of compassion. Although protective of his disciples, he was also extremely ruthless. For those who betrayed him, he would rather use the most brutal methods to torture them.

Wang Ding could be considered an unfortunate man. That incident left him in his current predicament because he killed a few of his fellow disciples. If he had merely fled, he’d have faced at most light punishment.

However, Wang Ding was always accustomed to using clever ploys, and he killed his fellow disciples to frame Su Yang. He had assumed that Su Yang was just an ordinary person and that Medicine Sect could easily eliminate him. Afterward, he even planned to capture Jeang Zier for his own pleasure.

In the end, he never dreamed he’d get caught in such a trap. Trying to set up Su Yang, he ended up being tricked by Su Yang instead. Not only that, even Medicine Sect suffered severe losses. Wang Ding’s current circumstances were entirely the result of his own bad karma!

Ghost King San Yan entered the hall and sat down with a grin, saying, ”My master can’t make it to the Capital City for now. Second Elder, how about we find some entertainment here in the Capital City over the next couple of days?”

”What do you mean?” The Second Elder frowned at Ghost King San Yan. Although he was assertive, he was not lecherous.

”Heh heh...” Ghost King San Yan chuckled lightly. ”I mean, the Ten Great Sects happen to be in the Capital City, and some members of the Superlunary Clan will be arriving soon. In just a few days, the Capital will be teeming with experts from all factions. At such a time, that clown Su Yang is still prancing around the Capital—how ill-timed!”

”What do you intend to do?” The Second Elder asked gravely. He, too, bore hatred for Su Yang but had no way to act against him.

But if Ghost King San Yan and his group intended to target Su Yang, the Second Elder would be more than happy to see it happen.

”I suggest that we deal with Su Yang before the major sect meetings begin!” Ghost King San Yan grinned. ”What do you think, Second Elder?”

”That would be ideal!” The Second Elder nodded and then said solemnly, ”However, most of Medicine Sect’s experts below the level of Terrestrial Immortals have been killed by them. Now, only Terrestrial Immortals like us remain, making it inconvenient for us to act!”

The implication was clear: Ghost King San Yan and his people would need to personally handle Su Yang.

Ghost King San Yan chuckled softly, ”This matter requires no action from us!”

”Oh?” The Second Elder looked at Ghost King San Yan with surprise.

”I think the Ten Great Sects and the Superlunary Clan have far more reasons to want Su Yang dead than we do!” Ghost King San Yan said.

”What do you mean?” asked the puzzled Second Elder. ”I know Su Yang has a grudge against the Su Family of Yanbei, but since Su Huo took the Su Family of Yanbei away from Yanbei, they haven’t headed straight for the Capital City. It seems they have something more important to deal with, so they won’t be here anytime soon. As for the Ten Great Sects and the Superlunary Clan currently in the Capital, they don’t hold any grudge against Su Yang—they wouldn’t act against him!”

”Not necessarily!” Ghost King San Yan shook his head. ”Whether they act against Su Yang depends on whether there’s enough benefit to be gained. If the rewards are tempting enough, these people certainly won’t let Su Yang off the hook!”

”What kind of benefit are you talking about?” The Second Elder asked.

Ghost King San Yan chuckled and suddenly posed a question: ”Second Elder, where do you think Qinghe Academy got the formulas for those three elixirs?”

This question had bothered the Second Elder for a long time. Hearing it, he took a deep breath and replied solemnly, ”I suspect they got them from Black Widow. She’s Su Zhan’s daughter and must have inherited his legacy!”

”I don’t think so!” Ghost King San Yan shook his head. ”If Black Widow knew the formulas for those three elixirs, she would’ve handed them over to Qinghe Academy long ago. Why wait until now? Or perhaps she would’ve given them to Thousand Snow Palace—after all, the Great Elder is her grandfather. Why bypass Thousand Snow Palace to give them to Qinghe Academy?”

”That makes sense!” The Second Elder nodded slowly and said grimly, ”Then how do you think Qinghe Academy obtained the formulas?”

Ghost King San Yan smiled faintly and continued, ”Second Elder, you’ve probably heard that Su Yang established an organization called the Divine Physicians Alliance!”

”Hah, that’s nothing more than child’s play!” The Second Elder scoffed coldly. ”In front of Medicine Sect, who qualifies as a divine physician? The Divine Physicians Alliance is merely a group of second-rate sects forming an organization. In fact, any random member of our Medicine Sect can surpass their entire alliance!”

”While that may be true, there are rumors outside suggesting Su Yang’s medical skills are exceptional!” Ghost King San Yan paused and added softly, ”Moreover, Su Yang has remarkable talent in alchemy. Many elixirs that have been lost for ages, he’s able to recreate perfectly, earning him the title of the true divine physician in the world!”

”Divine physician?” The Second Elder sneered. ”What nonsense! It’s just the case of a mountain without a tiger, where monkeys claim to be kings. Ghost King, do you really believe such talk?”

”Whether I believe it is irrelevant...” Ghost King San Yan said, smiling. ”The undeniable truth is that this Su Yang knows many long-lost formulas. Now, do you think he might know the formulas for Medicine Sect’s three elixirs?”

”Impossible!” The Second Elder said flatly. ”Qinghe Academy is on good terms with Su Zhan. Su Zhan must have left these formulas at Qinghe Academy, which is why they obtained them. This Su Yang is a nobody—how could he possibly know the formulas?”

”That’s your belief, but do others think the same way?” Ghost King San Yan said mildly.

”Hmm...” The Second Elder scratched his head and asked gravely, ”What exactly are you implying?”

Ghost King San Yan said, ”Suppose people come to believe that Qinghe Academy obtained the three elixir formulas from Su Yang. How do you think the Ten Great Sects will act against him?”

The Second Elder’s eyes lit up, and he exclaimed excitedly, ”You mean to pin this matter on Su Yang, forcing the Ten Great Sects to target him?”

”Although Qinghe Academy is willing to refine elixirs for the Ten Great Sects as long as they provide the raw materials, the formulas ultimately remain in Qinghe Academy’s hands. Who would want to be controlled by Qinghe Academy?” Ghost King San Yan laughed. ”If they could obtain the formulas themselves, they wouldn’t need to bow to Qinghe Academy. So, if they believe Su Yang has these formulas, they’ll undoubtedly go to him by any means necessary to secure them!”
