Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1504: Chapter 1503: The Burial

Su Huo’s face turned ashen. After the Four Great Sects had left, Thousand Snow Palace alone was already enough to restrain him. Now that Qinghe Academy had arrived as well, their strength completely outmatched his side. The Su Family of Yanbei wouldn’t gain any advantage here.

Su Huo clenched his teeth, taking several deep breaths. The icy expression on his face finally eased slightly.

”Since that’s the case, I won’t press the matter further!” Su Huo declared loudly. ”However, as a member of the Su Family of Yanbei, it is my duty to avenge my elder brother. I believe Su Xue may have been deceived by Su Yang, so I must ask—how exactly will Su Xue deal with him?”

Everyone turned to look at the Black Widow. She frowned and said coldly, ”His life is mine!”

”Good!” Su Huo shouted. ”Since you claim his life as yours, I’ll be watching and waiting. Today, I will head to the Capital City to stay. I want to witness personally how you kill him and avenge my elder brother!”

”You...” The Black Widow’s fury surged. She had only said that Su Yang’s life belonged to her, not that she would kill him. Su Huo was clearly twisting her words, forcing her to take Su Yang’s life!

”What? You don’t want to kill Su Yang?” Su Huo retorted coldly. ”Don’t you want to avenge your father?”

The Black Widow bit her lip but couldn’t utter another word. Her hatred for Su An ran deep to the bone, but when it came to Su Yang, her feelings were far less intense. Yet, knowing that Su Yang was descended from Su An made it difficult for her to reconcile her emotions. She herself didn’t even know how to handle this matter.

Now, with Su Huo pressing her step by step, she was completely at a loss for how to respond!

”If you say nothing, it proves you intend to kill Su Yang!” Su Huo nodded and declared loudly, ”That works as well. He is Su An’s descendant, a cursed existence. The sooner we rid ourselves of him, the better. I suggest that within three days, we execute him to seek justice for my brother!”

The Su Family of Yanbei members voiced their agreement one after another, and no one else could say a word in opposition. In truth, everyone was now looking at the Black Widow. Only she had the authority to make the final decision on this matter.

The Black Widow, however, felt utterly helpless. She couldn’t openly contradict Su Huo on such an issue. If she said she wouldn’t kill Su Yang, the whole world would cast her as an unfilial daughter!

As for Su Yang, he remained calm, not saying a single word from beginning to end, as if these people were debating someone else’s fate rather than his own.

”Now that it’s settled, stop blocking the road!” Lü Donglin suddenly spoke loudly. ”Let the funeral proceed first, shall we?”

Su Huo sneered but said nothing further. Leading the members of the Su Family of Yanbei, he stepped aside to clear the path.

Su Yang gave Lü Donglin a grateful nod before hoisting the coffin on his back and ascending the mountain step by step.

At last, with the help of a few others, the funeral was properly completed.

Su Yang erected the tombstone, knelt before the grave, and solemnly kowtowed three times before rising to his feet. His gaze turned desolate as he looked into the distance.

In the end, Su Yang was personally escorted by the Black Widow to the Capital City and delivered to Qinghe Academy.

The place chosen for Su Yang’s execution was none other than Qinghe Academy!

The members of the Su Family of Yanbei simply took up residence at Qinghe Academy, seemingly afraid that someone might attempt to free Su Yang.

Su Yang was locked in a room, guarded by over twenty Terrestrial Immortals, all personally assigned by Su Huo, signaling his distrust of Qinghe Academy.

Qinghe Academy remained unusually calm, merely stationing two individuals to monitor the situation, preventing the Su Family from harming Su Yang prematurely. They didn’t intervene in any other matters.

That very night, Lü Donglin arrived at Qinghe Academy, attempting to see Su Yang but was blocked outright. The members of the Su Family of Yanbei refused to let him visit Su Yang. The standoff almost escalated into a brawl before Qinghe Academy officials intervened to mediate. Even so, Lü Donglin never got to meet Su Yang.

Sitting alone in the room, Su Yang could hear the commotion outside but never stepped out to see what was happening.

Lü Donglin was his brother, and Su Yang knew he wished to help him. But Su Yang couldn’t allow Lü Donglin to get involved in this matter. After all, he was the descendant of a sinner.

Near dawn, another uproar broke out outside. This time, the commotion was much greater, for the intruder at Qinghe Academy was none other than Ye Jiansheng’s daughter, Ye Wantong!

Ye Wantong was stopped by the Su Family members, and Su Ze, who had also entered Qinghe Academy, hurled insults at her. This led to an outright fight.

Ye Wantong’s strength wasn’t on par with theirs, and she suffered greatly. Thankfully, Qinghe Academy staff intervened in time to rescue her. Even so, Ye Wantong never got the chance to meet Su Yang.

The following evening, another unexpected event occurred at Qinghe Academy. This time, it was Su Yang’s three disciples who had come. The trio joined forces, attempting to rescue Su Yang, but all ultimately met with defeat.

Moreover, their situation became dire as they were captured outright by the Su Family of Yanbei. If not for Qinghe Academy’s timely arrival, the three of them would have likely been killed on the spot.

Even so, the three disciples were detained at Qinghe Academy. The Su Family of Yanbei branded them as remnants of Su Yang’s faction and demanded their execution alongside Su Yang. Qinghe Academy was still negotiating with them over this matter.

On the third night, Su Yang, who hadn’t met anyone since his confinement, finally received a visitor: the Black Widow.

The Black Widow managed to enter without much obstruction. However, the Su Family of Yanbei stationed even more guards outside to ensure Su Yang remained confined.

When the Black Widow stepped inside, Su Yang’s expression showed little surprise, only some guilt.

The Black Widow’s expression was icy. She stood inside the room in silence, staring coldly at Su Yang without saying a word.

The two of them remained silent for a long time until, finally, the Black Widow was the first to speak.

”Why did you save me?”

Su Yang hesitated for a moment before replying in a low voice, ”The wrongs my father committed must be atoned for by someone.”

”Your father’s crimes can never be atoned for!” the Black Widow shouted furiously.

Su Yang said nothing more; he acknowledged this in his heart. Su Ling’s fate was already irreversible.

Tears welled up in the Black Widow’s eyes as she suddenly struck Su Yang with a powerful palm.

Su Yang did not dodge, taking the blow head-on. He staggered back three steps, blood welling up in his throat, but he swallowed it forcibly. He did not want to show weakness, nor did he want the Black Widow’s sympathy. If he could die by her hand, it would be the best redemption—a way to pay for his father’s sins.

The Black Widow, furious, struck again. This time, Su Yang was injured even more seriously, but he still clenched his jaw. However, the blood now poured from his nostrils, staining his robes red.

The Black Widow raised her hand once more to deliver a third blow, but when she saw the blood flowing from him, she stopped. She stared intensely at Su Yang for a long time before suddenly throwing a slip of paper at him and turning to leave.
