Su Yunqian roared, "No! You have to come with me."

"No one is getting away!"

Lü Ming sneered and looked at Su Hongyuan with some contempt. "You've only just broken through to the Void Refinement Stage. You're far too weak."

As soon as he finished speaking, the aura around him exploded, spreading through the city like Imperial Authority. Countless people felt their scalps tingle, their eyes filled with terror.

That was simply how this world worked. Without strength, when one encountered a powerful expert, all one could do was pray that he would spare one's life. Other than that, there was nothing one could do.

Here, the strong were revered. When a powerful expert killed a weakling, even if the victim was innocent, everyone would find it perfectly normal.

"I'll deal with Su Hongyuan. You two go kill the remaining six targets. Make absolutely sure you don't let them escape."

Luo Xingye let out a vicious laugh. "Big Brother, rest assured. They won't get away."

In the distance, Su Chen looked at the three men who had suddenly appeared and helplessly shook his head.

He had thought that once his grandfather came out, everything would basically be settled. Who could have expected such an accident?

I still have to make a move.

He raised his hand slightly. A streak of spiritual light suddenly blossomed, tearing through the void as it shot toward Luo Xingye.

"Pfft!"

Luo Xingye's head exploded instantly, blood spraying in all directions. The sight was horrifying.

"What?!"

Lü Ming and Pan Huan were both ruthless men who had walked on the edge of the blade, with exceptionally rich combat experience. They reacted extremely quickly and prepared to flee without saying a word.

To kill Luo Xingye instantly without anyone noticing was enough to prove that the person who had attacked from the shadows possessed tremendous strength. There was absolutely no way they could defeat him.

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

Two more streaks of spiritual light flashed past, and the heads of the other two men exploded in succession. Their auras vanished completely.

All three were powerful Void Refinement Stage cultivators, yet they had been utterly defenseless before Su Chen. Killing them had been as easy as stepping on ants.

The three Void Refinement Stage experts had died in less than a breath.

The scene fell deathly silent, and everyone's eyes were filled with bewilderment.

What had happened?

However, the people here were no ordinary folk. Although they did not know what had happened, once the three Void Refinement Stage cultivators died, the people from the several lineages began to retreat frantically.

Su Hongyuan struck first. He threw out a punch, and Wang Ming died on the spot.

The gap between the Late Nascent Soul Stage and the Void Refinement Stage was simply too great.

Su Hongyuan shouted coldly, "Kill them!"

The people from the several lineages were furious, their eyes filled with terror.

Regardless of how today's events developed, they were doomed to suffer.

If the Su Family won, the several lineages would certainly be annihilated. If the Su Family lost, those three Void Refinement Stage experts would definitely kill them to silence them.

He Hongyuan in particular was filled with regret. If he had known this would happen, he never would have boarded the Wang Family's pirate ship.

Before this, he had still thought victory was certain. Now, what kind of certain victory was this?

Following the Wang Family meant certain death!

Before long, all the Nascent Soul Stage cultivators from the several lineages were slaughtered on the spot, leaving only the members of the Su Family.

Su Hongyuan respectfully addressed the sky, "Thank you, Senior, for coming to our aid."

The world remained utterly silent, without the slightest response. Su Hongyuan's eyes filled with confusion. Just who had been helping them?

Su Chen also stepped forward and said, "Master, was that you?"

A vortex of Spiritual Energy suddenly swept through the heavens and earth, but it vanished after only a moment.

The pupils of the few members of the Su Family suddenly contracted. Had Su Chen's mysterious master been the one who attacked just now?

Although they had heard that Su Chen had a master, they had never seen him before, so the thought had always felt somewhat unreal. Yet what had happened today had been incomparably real.

To effortlessly kill three Void Refinement Stage cultivators, one of whom was even at the Late Void Refinement Stage, required truly terrifying strength.

Seeing that there had been a response, Su Chen said again, "This disciple thanks you, Master."

However, this time, the heavens and earth offered no response whatsoever.

Su Hongyuan looked toward Su Chen, his eyes filled with complicated emotions. He had never expected that the one who had repeatedly saved the Su Family would merely be a junior.

"Qingtian, why don't you step down and let Chen'er become the family head? He's more suitable than you. You can assist him then."

Su Qingtian: "..."

Father, are you being polite?

However, Su Qingtian did not mind in the slightest. He looked toward Su Chen. "Chen'er, what do you think? Do you want to become the head of the Su Family?"

"Don't worry. Your father and several uncles will handle everything for you. You'll only need to make the major decisions."

The strength Su Chen had displayed was far too terrifying. Not to mention his terrifying master, the fact that he had fought two Middle Stage of Deity Transformation cultivators without falling behind while only at the Nascent Soul Realm was enough to make him stand above the masses.

The head of a family usually needed to oversee the lineage and represented its highest combat strength. It did not mean that he had to handle everything personally.

Su Chen absolutely had the qualifications to become the head of the Su Family.

Su Chen thought about it, but ultimately chose to refuse.

"Father, you should remain the family head for now. We can talk about it again in a few years."

Su Qingtian pondered for a moment, then nodded with a smile. "Then your father will keep this position warm for you. Whenever you want it, just tell me."

After saying that, Su Qingtian looked toward Su Hongyuan again, his eyes filled with solemnity.

Su Hongyuan knew what he wanted to ask, so he spoke first:

"It was because of Chen'er that I was able to recover from my injuries and break through."

"So it really was!"

Su Qingtian's eyes were filled with shock. He looked toward Su Chen, feeling that the secrets surrounding his son were growing more numerous by the day.

However, he did not ask. Su Chen had secrets of his own.

Su Hongyuan said, "Second Brother, go deal with the people who were secretly watching the show just now. Qingtian, go back and take the Su Family's people to handle the industries of the Four Great Families."

"And uproot them completely!"

Murderous intent filled Su Hongyuan's eyes. They had come from a bandit gang, so naturally they were no kindhearted people.

The people of the Four Great Families had to be killed to the last man, to eliminate any future trouble.

Murderous intent filled Su Qingtian's eyes. He cupped his fists and said, "Yes."

After saying that, he turned and left.

A bloody storm soon swept through Bright Moon City. The Four Great Families were annihilated in a single day. Not a single person or animal was left alive. Even the eggs had to be shaken apart, and boiling water had to be poured into every ant nest.

Everyone knew that the conflict between the Four Great Families and the Su Family had ended with the Su Family's victory.

With the new king ascending the throne, the many forces in the city became as quiet as cicadas in winter, afraid that they might bring disaster upon themselves. They all hid at home and dared not go outside, leaving the streets nearly empty.

At least until the dust had settled, they did not dare to go out recklessly.

The vassal forces of the Four Great Families in particular were terrified, worried that the Su Family would annihilate them as well.

Now, apart from the Su Family, there was no longer a single Nascent Soul Stage cultivator in Bright Moon City.

That same day, Su Qingyun used the Spirit Essence Jade Liquid to break through and become a Nascent Soul Stage expert.

Su Family.

As soon as Su Qingtian returned to the Su Family, he heard the report from below. His eyes turned incomparably gloomy, and he said coldly, "Bring the collateral-line elder, Su Yi, here."
