Ziyun City, the Su family.
Su Huang and the other six elders waited anxiously outside the Elder Hall. They had been standing there for two days and two nights, but they dared not rest. They were afraid of missing Su Yang's return.
Or perhaps it's retaliation from the Illusionary Nether Sect.
At this moment, the Fifth Elder asked with a hint of impatience, "Elder, the Illusionary Nether Sect is one of the top combat forces in Cangzhou in terms of both strength and foundation. Even a behemoth like the Purple Sun Sect would not dare to venture deep into it. Although our Ancestor is powerful, it would be quite difficult for him to deal with an evil sect that has been passed down for thousands of years."
Su Huang stood with his hands behind his back, offering no comment.
Indeed, the Illusionary Nether Sect's strength and foundation are unmatched by ordinary sects. While Su Yang is powerful, he is ultimately acting alone; if he were to truly challenge the entire Illusionary Nether Sect, they would be unable to devise a countermeasure.
"Let's wait a little longer," Su Huang said calmly.
"What are we waiting for?" The Fifth Elder sighed. "Whether it's poison techniques or illusions, the Illusionary Nether Sect is a top-tier sect in the world. All members of their sect have undergone life-or-death trials before they can sit in that position. Forgive my bluntness, but our Ancestor will definitely not return this time. We should discuss the most important matter of our position as the head of the family first."
The other elders nodded thoughtfully.
"The Fifth Elder is right."
"How about we stick to the original plan and let Su Tianlang come back to inherit the position of family head?"
"That makes sense."
All the elders spoke in turn.
After all, the power of the Illusionary Nether Sect was far beyond what the Su family could withstand. In the end, although the Su family seemed to have absolute power in Ziyun City, they were actually insignificant within the entire Jiang Kingdom.
This is why they discussed it.
"So noisy!"
Su Huang snorted, and the elders who were discussing behind him all shut their mouths.
At this moment, Su Huang glanced at everyone and said, "Whether the Ancestor can return or not is my decision. We have already made mistakes and deserve to be punished. Can't we even stand waiting here for two days? Hmph! Even if the Ancestor really doesn't return, everyone must stand here for seven days before we can leave!"
The Fifth Elder clicked his tongue: "But First Elder, who is this for?"
Su Huang flicked his sleeves: "No need to say more now. Anyone who speaks again will be punished according to family rules!"
Upon hearing this, everyone had no choice but to stand obediently on the stone platform outside the Elder Hall.
The Fifth Elder was dissatisfied, but he was too embarrassed to say anything. He could only mutter to himself: What are you pretending to be a good person for? Wasn't it you who deposed Su Lingxue and made your own grandson the head of the family?
In fact, Su Yang still firmly believed that nothing had happened to him.
After all, if Su Yang really did something wrong, the Illusionary Nether Sect would likely wipe out the Su family completely. For the Illusionary Nether Sect, destroying them would be as easy as crushing an ant. The fact that neither the Illusionary Nether Sect nor Su Yang has returned suggests that things might not be as bad as they imagine.
As for why they didn't run?
That's because, even if you run, where can you run to?
They dedicated their entire lives to this land, and even in death, they should be buried on this land.
Time passed slowly, and the sky was ablaze with crimson hues. The elders didn't complain. The occasional Su family disciples passing by didn't dare disturb them. Their gazes remained fixed on the northwest, until the crimson clouds gradually darkened, at which point a dark shadow slowly flew in from the distant mountains.
"The Ancestor is back?" Su Huang murmured immediately.
You're back?
All the elders were stunned for a moment, then they looked up and stared at the distant mountain peaks, where the black dot traveling in the air gradually grew larger.
Sailboat!
"It's the Sail Cloud Boat!" someone shouted.
The Sail Cloud Boat is no ordinary vessel; only a sect like the Purple Sun Sect would possess it. And wasn't Su Yang piloting a Sail Cloud Boat before his return?
Su Yang.
He really came back!
"How is this possible?" The Fifth Elder was shocked.
Su Yang's return means that the Illusionary Nether Sect is really willing to release him? As the most troublesome force in Cangzhou, even the Purple Sun Sect doesn't want to provoke them, would they really release Su Yang?
The sailboat grew larger and larger until it finally came to a stop in an open space next to their medicinal field. All the elders came over and respectfully clasped their hands in greeting.
Because on the sailboat were Su Yang and Su Lingxue.
He really did rescue Su Lingxue from the Illusionary Nether Sect!
"Welcome, Ancestor!" Su Huang knelt on one knee and said.
At this moment, the elders behind him also knelt down.
Su Yang glanced at everyone, smiled faintly, and patted Su Lingxue, who looked a little tired, standing beside him: "You must be tired after all this trouble, right? Go back and rest first, I have some things to do."
Su Lingxue nodded obediently: "Mm."
After saying that, Su Lingxue jogged back to her residence.
The seven elders remained there, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
At this moment, Su Yang's gentle smile gradually turned cold as he scanned all the elders, a sense of oppression pressing down on them.
The seven elders swallowed hard, knowing that their ancestor was about to punish them.
"You did a great job."
Just when they thought they were doomed, Su Yang suddenly said something that stunned all the elders.
What's going on?
What happened to the promised punishment? What happened to the promised fury?
When Su Huang looked up, Su Yang had a faint smile on his face.
