With these words, it was as if a stone had stirred up a thousand waves!
Even Robert Jiang was astonished, “Timothy, are you telling the truth?”
“Father, of course it’s true. I saw it with my own eyes outside the courtyard. How could it be false?”
Timothy Jiang let out a cold snort. He had kept this matter to himself, waiting for the critical moment to reveal it and deliver a fatal blow to Terra Su. Now, it seemed he had succeeded!
The fury of the Wang Family members was instantly ignited by this news!
“You little bastard, daring to seduce the daughter-in-law our Wang Family had chosen! You must have a death wish!”
“Everyone, attack together! Skin Terra Su alive and tear him apart!”
Otto Jiang shook his head, “Terra Su, Terra Su, you’ve really brought this upon yourself. Today, you’re doomed.”
Otto Jiang adopted a spectator’s stance. He didn’t even need to lift a finger today; Terra Su was surely going to die. After all, Joshua Wang, the Patriarch of the Wang Family, was at the eighth level of the Condensing Origin Realm. Even if Terra Su had the support of a seventh-level expert, he couldn’t possibly contend with that.
“Attack!”
Joshua Wang’s face was cold and stern as he uttered the command.
But at that very moment—
“Hold it!”
With a cold shout, several figures swiftly darted into the courtyard.
“Patriarch Ye!”
Everyone present was stunned at the sight of the leading figure.
“What, even Patriarch Ye came to join the fray today?”
Joshua Wang raised an eyebrow, looking indifferently at the newly arrived Patriarch Ye, Steven Ye.
Steven Ye, without missing a beat, stood firm and said, “Everyone, I apologize, but Terra Su must be taken away by our Ye Family today. He must be dealt with by us!”
“Why?”
An Elder of the Wang Family couldn’t help but retort, “Terra Su, that little bastard, seduced the daughter-in-law chosen by our Wang Family. Shouldn’t he be dealt with by us? Patriarch Ye, suddenly barging in and claiming to take Terra Su away, isn’t that inappropriate?”
Steven Ye’s eyelid twitched, “So what? Our Ye Family’s top genius, Miles Ye, was crippled by Terra Su, causing us immense loss. For that alone, Terra Su must be dealt with by us. Even if he dies, he must die at our hands.”
“Hmph, Terra Su’s grudge with our Wang Family isn’t just about that. One of our family members fell seriously ill, and Terra Su knew the cure but deliberately withheld it, causing lifelong disability! We must settle this score with Terra Su too!” Another Wang Family Elder shouted angrily.
An Elder behind Steven Ye coldly retorted, “Your loss is nothing compared to our Ye Family losing Miles Ye. How could you understand our family’s pain?”
“Enough arguing!”
Joshua Wang, the Patriarch, spoke up, “Brother Ye, I must speak fairly. Miles Ye’s crippling at Terra Su’s hands was largely his own doing. If he hadn’t challenged Terra Su to a duel in the south of the city, or if he hadn’t harbored murderous intent during the duel, he wouldn’t have ended up like this, right?”
Steven Ye’s face turned extremely grim, “Brother Wang, what do you mean by this?”
Joshua Wang shrugged, “I’m just saying that Miles Ye’s fate is partly due to his own character. He wasn’t entirely innocent. But our Wang Family is completely innocent, repeatedly harmed by Terra Su. So, logically, we should be the ones to deal with Terra Su, right?”
What a joke. If the Wang Family had any fear of the Ye Family before, now that the Ye Family had lost Miles Ye, their threat level had significantly decreased. In a few years, they might even fall out of the top three families. Why should they still fear the Ye Family?
Moreover, Joshua Wang’s cultivation level was at the eighth level of the Condensing Origin Realm, a whole level higher than Steven Ye’s seventh level. So, the Wang Family now faced the Ye Family with a newfound confidence, no longer treating them as equals.
For a moment, both sides were at a standoff over who should deal with Terra Su, neither willing to back down.
Otto Jiang watched anxiously. He had invited the Wang Family, but he hadn’t expected the Ye Family to show up as well. Now, both families wanted to take Terra Su, and the longer this dragged on, the more unpredictable the outcome.
Thinking of this, Otto Jiang spoke up, “Brother Wang, Brother Ye, please stop arguing and listen to me. Both your families have grievances with Terra Su. In my opinion, why not deal with him together right here? That would save you the trouble of arguing.”
“Deal with him together?”
Joshua Wang and Steven Ye were taken aback, then each pondered for a moment. They found Otto Jiang’s suggestion acceptable.
“In that case, Brother Ye and I will each strike once and deal with this little bastard on the spot,” Joshua Wang said slowly, taking a step back and accepting Otto Jiang’s proposal.
Otherwise, if the standoff continued or even escalated into conflict, the Wang Family, though slightly advantaged, would still suffer significant losses.
“Since Brother Wang agrees, let’s do it.”
Steven Ye went along with it.
The two men reached an agreement and began to approach Terra Su.
Terra Su sneered inwardly. If they thought they could deal with him so easily, they were mistaken.
He began to gather True Essence in his hands. If necessary, he would use the forbidden secret technique from his past life, self-detonation of True Essence. At that moment, everyone would perish together.
Just then—
“Stop!”
A commanding voice suddenly rang out.
Following that, an elderly man in a light green alchemist’s robe, with white hair, swiftly walked in from the dark night outside the courtyard, followed by several alchemists in similar robes.
“Master Mo!”
Everyone in the courtyard was shocked at the sight of the old man.
It was almost midnight. Why would Master Mo, the president of the Alchemy Guild, come at this hour?
But soon, many realized that Master Mo must have come for Terra Su.
After all, at Madam Jiang’s birthday banquet, Master Mo had shown up specifically for Terra Su, proving that he valued Terra Su highly.
“Master Mo.”
Joshua Wang and Steven Ye’s faces were grim, but they still cupped their hands in salute to Master Mo.
Master Mo nodded slightly in return, then spoke gently, “Everyone, I came here late at night, and you must have guessed my intention. Young Master Su is someone the Alchemy Guild wants to protect. Please do me a favor and let me take him away. Today’s matter need not be mentioned again.”
In just a few words, Master Mo made his stance clear. He intended to protect Terra Su under the name of the Alchemy Guild!
