"Hey! Ancestor, I'm here! I'm here!"
At this moment, the Fifth Elder climbed over excitedly, his face full of joy.
Su Yang smiled and casually took out a black spirit pill from his storage bag.
"I remember before I left, I said I would give a Grade 1 pill to the person who provided the information, right?" Su Yang said calmly.
"Yes, yes, yes, the Ancestor has a really good memory!" The Fifth Elder rubbed his hands together and laughed.
"Well then, take this elixir." Su Yang casually tossed the elixir to the Fifth Elder.
Without saying a word, the Fifth Elder swallowed it in one gulp.
After all, this is a Grade Earth Elixir! Countless people covet such a precious treasure, so it's most prudent to consume it directly.
Seeing this, the other elders felt a pang of envy. After all, they had never seen a single Earth-grade Spirit Pill in all their years of life, and it was a pity that it had been consumed so soon after they saw it.
After taking the elixir, the Fifth Elder asked with a smile, "Ancestor, what kind of elixir is this that you gave me? What are its effects?"
Everyone pricked up their ears, eager to hear what was going on.
After all, that's a Grade Earth Spirit Pill!
Su Yang smiled faintly and said slowly, "That elixir is called the Nine-Poison Heart-Devouring Pill, which is a top-ranking elixir among Earth-grade elixirs."
Upon hearing this answer, everyone couldn't help but feel envious.
But they were also a little puzzled: why would a elixir have such a strange name?
At this moment, Su Yang added, "Its effects are quite simple. If it is placed in the upper reaches of a river, anyone who drinks a sip of the water within a thousand-mile radius will die from heart decay. As for an individual taking it, well, I've never seen that happen."
What?!
Upon hearing this, the Fifth Elder trembled all over and said, covered in sweat, "Ancestor...you, you must be joking?"
Su Yang sneered: "Betraying the Su family and letting a wolf into the house! This is a grave offense against me!"
Betrayed the Su family!
Upon hearing this, Su Huang immediately realized what was happening.
He was also very puzzled as to why such a large sect as the Illusionary Nether Sect would come to such a remote place as theirs. It turned out that there was a traitor within their Su family! But he was also puzzled as to what the Illusionary Nether Sect had that was worth taking action against their Su family.
At this moment, the Fifth Elder seemed to react, feeling an intense, excruciating pain tearing at all his internal organs—a feeling worse than death! It was as if countless sharp teeth and claws were piercing his heart and lungs, slowly devouring him, causing unbearable torment! At this moment, even his eyes almost rolled back!
Those around them, seeing the Fifth Elder lying on the ground, were filled with immense fear.
Su Yang walked beside the Fifth Elder, pointed with two fingers, and slowed down the latter's rate of corrosion.
Then, Su Yang said, "Give me a reason why you betrayed the Su family."
The Fifth Elder lay on the ground, convulsing: "Ancestor, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I was just confused for a moment. When I saw the young lady take flight that night, I was overcome with greed. But I was too weak to take it, so I could only report it to the Illusionary Nether Sect. They will reward me afterwards..."
Su Yang nodded without saying anything.
He then joined his two fingers together, and the Fifth Elder instantly turned into a pool of blood, without even having a chance to utter a wail.
The elders of the Su family were involuntarily shocked by what they saw.
Just what kind of methods did their ancestor possess?
"Our ancestor is merciful!"
Suddenly, Su Huang, who was kneeling to the side, bowed his head and spoke.
Su Yang was slightly taken aback and looked at Su Huang: "Oh? How have I been merciful?"
Su Huang stood up and said, "With the Fifth Elder's... no, with such a despicable character, even being torn to pieces would not erase his sins. But after he finally revealed the truth, the Ancestor gave him a quick death, so this despicable man was lucky!"
The elders nodded.
Yes, judging from the Fifth Elder's condition just now, it can be said that he was living a life worse than death. Even if he revealed the truth, he would not be able to escape punishment. Giving him a quick death is indeed the greatest blessing.
Su Yang chuckled lightly: "I despise petty people more than anything else in my life, especially those around me. You should take this as a warning, otherwise I won't be so lenient next time."
The elders clasped their hands in greeting: "We dare not disobey the Ancestor's command!"
Su Yang slowly turned around: "I'm tired. I'll rest for today. I'll give you some things after tomorrow."
"yes!"
After saying this, Su Yang slowly left.
As he left, Su Yang had some doubts in his mind.
In fact, after hearing the Fifth Elder's account, he was already furious. He lost his temper and killed him, wasting one of the Five Elder's Nine-Insect Heart-Devouring Pills. It was such a loss!
Fortunately, Su Huang smoothed things over for him, and everything became reasonable.
Sigh, I'm outta here.
The elders, watching Su Yang's departing figure, couldn't help but feel admiration.
"The Ancestor's methods are truly unfathomable. He can even come and go freely in places like the Illusionary Nether Sect," Su Huang exclaimed.
“Yes, to be honest, I don’t even think the Ancestor can come back,” an elder whispered.
"Watch your words!" Su Huang snapped.
The elder who was speaking realized that there was something wrong with how he was speaking, and quickly shut his mouth.
"With our ancestor here, how can the Su family not prosper!" With that, Su Huang turned to look at everyone: "Listen carefully, from this day forward, everyone must treat Su Lingxue with the utmost respect and the etiquette due to the clan leader. There must be no mistake!"
The remaining five elders were taken aback: "Why? Su Lingxue is still young, and her strength is not enough to convince everyone."
Su Huang snorted coldly: "What do you know! Can't you see? The ancestor takes great care of Su Lingxue, even personally visiting the Illusionary Nether Sect. Although Su Lingxue's strength is weak, we will treat her with the etiquette due to the clan leader. Once her strength is enough to convince everyone, she can then take the position of clan head. This is the most advantageous choice for everyone."
The elders nodded in agreement.
Although Su Lingxue is still young, she is Su Wuyang's only daughter. Logically speaking, Su Lingxue is the most qualified to succeed as the head of the family. Not to mention that Su Yang cares about her so much and treats her like a younger sister.
Protecting Su Lingxue is undoubtedly protecting the future of the Su family!
"Alright, now that the Ancestor has departed, you may all return to rest," Su Huang said calmly.
"Yes." The elders nodded.
"slow!"
At this moment, Su Huang stopped them again: "Don't rush, time is of the essence. The two conditions set by the Ancestor are very tight. You must organize your disciples tonight and go to the Yu family for negotiations immediately tomorrow!"
“At that time, I will go there in person.”
The elders were taken aback for a moment, then clasped their hands and nodded.
After saying that, everyone immediately went to get busy, and this night was destined to be sleepless.
Leaving Su Huang alone on the spot, looking at the docked sailboat, a smile once again appeared on his face, which was as cold as ice for a thousand years.
"The Su family is truly blessed."
