Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1510: Chapter 1509: When the Map Ends, the Dagger Is Revealed

The crowd was in an uproar, initially denying the Black Widow, but later began to insult and curse. Eventually, it escalated to demanding the Black Widow hand over Su Zhan’s relics.

These so-called relics are nothing more than the Destiny’s Tome and the Destiny Compass!

The Black Widow was furious, but Su Huo remained with a faint smile. This situation was within his expectations.

He clearly understood that he couldn’t monopolize the Destiny’s Tome by himself. And if the Black Widow were to take the Destiny’s Tome, and later mastered it to return and retaliate against the Su Family of Yanbei, he would be doomed.

So, he simply proposed this plan to share the Destiny’s Tome with everyone. This way, he wouldn’t need to do anything at all, as the major families and the Great Sects present would help him!

The headmaster frowned, naturally aware of the thoughts of these people. Waiting for their voices to gradually fall silent, the headmaster loudly said, ”Everyone, we previously agreed that Su Yang would be executed here at Qinghe Academy. All of you present are leaders of the major families and the Great Sects, how can you go back on such an agreement?”

”Headmaster, that might be what you agreed with Su Xue, but you haven’t agreed with us!” Su Huo directly said, ”Did you gather us to discuss this, or did you consult with us on this matter?”

As soon as these words were spoken, there was another uproar.

An elder slammed the table, saying, ”Qinghe Academy has been overreaching in recent years, doing everything according to its own whims, completely disregarding us, the families and sects?”

”Humph, does the headmaster truly think Qinghe Academy can decide everything for the sects and families?”

”This matter concerns the Su Family of Yanbei, and Qinghe Academy interfering is simply too domineering, isn’t it?”

”Absolutely excessive!”

Once again, the crowd started clamoring, this time shifting their target to Qinghe Academy. Over the years, the attitude of the major sects and families towards Qinghe Academy had become increasingly negative, and they seized this chance to vent their grievances.

The flames of contention shifted to Qinghe Academy, and the people from the Ten Great Sects were especially pleased to see this happen. Because they had an agreement with Qinghe Academy to join forces for the celestial war. Due to this, their relations with Qinghe Academy had worsened, and they were looking for an opportunity to break this agreement.

The headmaster felt helpless, as he was never good at disputing with others. And now, those present began to make unfounded accusations, pinning everything on Qinghe Academy. He couldn’t handle such a large group of people by himself.

After finally waiting for the crowd to finish speaking, the headmaster raised his voice and said, ”Everyone, this matter concerns the Su Family of Yanbei, but at the root, it is also about Su Zhan’s family. Who should have the most say on how to deal with Su Yang, shouldn’t it be Su Zhan’s family?”

”Well said!” the Second Elder of Medicine Sect loudly proclaimed, ”Su Huo is Su Zhan’s blood brother and one of his closest relatives. Shouldn’t he have a say as well?”

The crowd voiced their support one after another, leaving the headmaster speechless, ”Su Huo is indeed one of Su Zhan’s closest relatives, but Su Xue and Su Ling are Su Zhan’s biological children. Logically, shouldn’t they be the ones with the most say?”

”Given Su Ling’s current state, how can he decide anything?” someone from Heavenly Blade Peak spoke loudly, ”And as for that Black Widow, her relationship with Su Yang is ambiguous, making her unsuitable to decide this matter. So, handing it over to Su Huo would be the best course of action. What’s more, Su Huo suggested a public trial of Su Yang, where everyone could see how he handles the matter, so there should be no fear of partiality. Isn’t that sufficient?”

”Well said!”

”Exactly, they mentioned a public trial. Why is Qinghe Academy not releasing him? What does that mean?”

”Tsk tsk, does Qinghe Academy want to meddle in this matter as well? But what right do you have to interfere?”

”Qinghe Academy truly considers itself the leader, wanting to interfere in every matter under the heavens!”

The scene descended into chaos, with families and sects clamoring to have Qinghe Academy hand over Su Yang for a public trial at the Su Family of Yanbei.

Su Huo bore a cold smile, not needing to say a word, as these people, driven by their own interests, argued with Qinghe Academy. This time, Qinghe Academy stood no chance against so many families and sects. Taking Su Yang away would pose no issue for him!

The headmaster’s brow furrowed tightly; although the strength of Qinghe Academy wasn’t weak, facing so many major families and sects was beyond its capacity. And this was against the rules Qinghe Academy had always adhered to; he was momentarily at a loss on how to address this situation.

As for the Black Widow, she was livid to the point of turning pale, yet utterly powerless. She knew well that the dispute was over the Destiny’s Tome, but she couldn’t change the situation at all. Seeing the state of affairs, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of sadness.

Many present had benefitted from Su Zhan. Once extremely grateful, they now tore all decorum apart over Su Zhan’s legacies. Such is human nature!

Standing on the platform, Su Yang watched the crowd’s discussions quietly, fully understanding their motives, leaving him with nothing but contempt for them.

These Great Sects and families, when it truly concerned their benefits, became no different from petty people.

Su Yang glanced towards the distant Black Widow, recognizing her helplessness. He knew she wanted to save him, but, given the current situation, how could she possibly manage to do so?

In this scenario, Su Yang saw only two solutions. One was for the people of Su Family of Yanbei to take him away, and the other was for Su Yang to perish here, thus resolving all issues thoroughly!

To protect Su Yang without letting the people of Su Family of Yanbei take him away was simply impossible.

The headmaster and the Black Widow were surely thinking about how to solve this issue, but neither of them had ever considered killing Su Yang as a resolution. In fact, neither of them even thought of executing Su Yang in the first place.

However, the first solution Su Yang conceived was indeed this one. Ever since Su Ping’s death, he was already consumed with despair, having long resigned himself as someone who deserved to die.

For today’s execution, Su Yang never expected to leave alive. Dying here, resolving all matters, seemed like the best outcome for him.
