Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1486: Chapter 1485: Do You Know Su An

If one were to say that Su Yang and Black Widow had previously shared a cooperative relationship, perhaps it could also be described as one of mutual exploitation.

However, after returning to Pingnan Province and that encounter with Xiao Huang’s owner, Su Yang was compelled to reevaluate this relationship.

He didn’t know exactly what his father, Su Ping, had done, but he trusted Xiao Huang’s owner deeply, firmly believing that this person wouldn’t tell lies. Moreover, after experiencing so many events, Su Yang couldn’t shake the feeling that his father might be connected to Su Zhan, and perhaps had done something to wrong Su Zhan in the past.

Later, as he gained more understanding of Su Zhan, Su Yang developed immense admiration for this extraordinary figure’s achievements and naturally harbored a sense of guilt toward Su Zhan’s descendants.

It was precisely this guilt that made Su Yang determined to rescue Black Widow no matter the cost!

He didn’t know what kind of terrible deeds his father may have committed to provoke such disgust from Xiao Huang’s owner. Yet, Su Yang refused to harbor resentment toward his father. The only thing he felt he could do was try his best to make amends for past mistakes!

If rescuing Black Widow could redeem the sins his father had committed, Su Yang would willingly sacrifice himself without hesitation. At the very least, he could atone for his father’s transgressions.

It was exactly because of these reasons that Su Yang didn’t bother to consider his own safety—his sole focus was on how to save Black Widow.

The Headmaster, unaware of Su Yang’s inner thoughts, spoke softly: ”The Su Family of Yanbei boasts countless skilled fighters. Moreover, Su Huo has especially set up traps and assembled a group of experts to guard the Su Family’s estate in Yanbei. Even one of the Ten Great Sects—apart from entities like the Martial God Altar or the Hidden Sword Pavilion—would likely be unable to storm past Yanbei Su Family head-on. As for your own strength, it is even less worth mentioning in comparison to theirs.”

”Here in the Capital City, you have the earthly rules to rely on, which allow you to contend with the Yanbei Su Family. However, if you go to their estate in Yanbei, the earthly rules will no longer protect you. So if you truly want to go to the Yanbei Su Family to save someone, you’d best avoid direct confrontation with their members and use cunning instead.”

At this, the Headmaster looked at Su Yang and softly added: ”I’ll have someone bring you a map of the Yanbei Su Family estate shortly. On your way there, you must familiarize yourself with this map thoroughly. Then, you’ll need to infiltrate the Su Family estate and locate Black Widow.”

Su Yang nodded. ”Having a map will make things much easier.”

”That alone isn’t sufficient,” the Headmaster shook his head. ”Su Huo has invited a group of experts to guard the estate, and their Divine Sense likely covers the entirety of the Yanbei Su Family’s grounds. As soon as you enter the estate, you’ll be immediately discovered—you’ll have nowhere to hide.”

Su Yang furrowed his brow—this was indeed an issue. If he couldn’t evade the perception of those Terrestrial Immortals, he wouldn’t be able to rescue anyone. Even a clever plan would require actionable opportunities; if he couldn’t even get through the gate, how could he execute any strategy?

At that moment, the Headmaster spoke again: ”That’s why you need to suppress your own aura!”

”Suppress my aura?” Su Yang exclaimed in surprise. ”How do I suppress it?”

The Headmaster replied, ”I’ll introduce you to a teacher shortly who has considerable expertise in this area. If you can suppress your entire aura, you’ll appear no different from an ordinary person. In that state, when you enter the Yanbei Su Family estate, even those Terrestrial Immortals won’t pay you any attention. After all, no one will concern themselves with someone devoid of power—a mere ordinary person wouldn’t be suspicious, especially with so many people coming and going from the estate daily.”

Su Yang was overjoyed. ”That’s actually possible? Thank you so much, Headmaster!”

The Headmaster nodded and continued, ”Once you’re inside the Su Family estate, you should seek out someone named Suzhao. He was one of Su Zhan’s staunchest supporters and has some ties to Qinghe Academy. Take my decree to him—he’ll offer you assistance!”

Su Yang felt even more elated—with these resources at his disposal, rescuing Black Widow would become much easier.

”This assistance will only help you locate Black Widow. As for how you two will escape the Yanbei Su Family estate, that—regrettably—I won’t be able to help with,” the Headmaster said quietly.

”Headmaster, you’ve already helped me immensely!” Su Yang responded. ”As long as we make it out of the estate, we’ll be safe. Beyond those grounds, the Law Enforcers will protect us!”

”Let’s hope so,” the Headmaster murmured, turning to gaze at the distant horizon. He spoke softly, ”I just wonder how much longer the earthly rules can endure.”

Su Yang’s heart felt heavy as well. If the earthly rules were to change and the Law Enforcers ceased to protect mortals, then mortals would face unprecedented danger.

Especially someone like Su Yang, who had accumulated numerous enemies over the years—many of them waiting in the Land Fairy Realm to settle scores with him. If the earthly rules changed, who knows how many of these Terrestrial Immortals would come seeking revenge against Su Yang!

”By the way, Headmaster, I have a question I’d like to ask you,” Su Yang suddenly said.

”Speak.”

Su Yang took a deep breath and asked in a low voice, ”Headmaster, have you heard of someone named Su An?”

This was something Su Huo had mentioned to Su Yang. Su Yang couldn’t shake the feeling that his father, Su Ping, might have altered his name and become Su An. Therefore, he wanted to subtly gather information about Su An from the Headmaster.

”Su An?” The Headmaster frowned slightly and glanced at Su Yang. ”Why would you suddenly ask about him?”

Su Yang explained, ”Previously, Su Huo mentioned that I bear some resemblance to Su An. I don’t even know what he meant by that!”

”You resemble Su An?” The Headmaster firmly shook his head. ”No, you look nothing like Su An. What exactly is Su Huo up to?”

”Then who is Su An, exactly?” Su Yang asked.

”This person...” The Headmaster’s expression became cold, and his tone dropped. ”He used to be Su Zhan’s attendant student!”

”What?” Su Yang was shocked—he hadn’t expected Su An to have such a connection.

”Where is he now?” Su Yang asked.

”About a decade ago, after Su Zhan disappeared, the Su Family of Yanbei went through a brief period of turmoil,” the Headmaster said. ”Su Zhan left behind a codex called the Destiny’s Tome, which is rumored to contain all the secrets of his powerful techniques. Many desired to seize this codex while Su Zhan was absent—even members within the Su Family were restless.”

”Su Zhan’s wife, Shen Xuewei, initially remained within the Su Family, offering a temporary shield against this chaos. But later, Shen Xuewei was ambushed and killed by Su Zhan’s enemies, leaving the Su Family in total disarray. Outsiders began invading the estate to steal the codex, and even members of the Su Family joined the fray.”

”During this time, Su An—whom Shen Xuewei had entrusted with the care of Su Zhan’s son—committed a heinous act!”

Su Yang took a deep breath. He sensed that Su An could very well be his father, Su Ping, and he desperately wanted to know what Su Ping had done in those days.
