73: Chapter 73 Revenge

Su Yang and the others heard the commotion and walked quickly out of the main hall.

They saw An Ziyao with his eyes tightly shut, his face as pale as paper, without a hint of color.

Luo Qian's robes were stained red with An Ziyao's blood. His voice was hoarse and urgent: "Family Head! Quick, save Ziyao! He... he's not going to make it!"

"Stay calm."

Su Yang's voice was steady, carrying a reassuring power.

He raised his hand and cast two Spells, protecting An Ziyao's heart vessels while healing his external wounds.

Then he took out a Medicinal Pill and stuffed it into An Ziyao's mouth.

Su Yang circulated his spiritual power to dissolve the pill. A rich vitality spread through An Ziyao's body, flowing into his limbs and bones.

Then, another Wood-element spell was cast into An Ziyao's body to stimulate his vitality.

Su Yang was not only an Alchemist proficient in pharmacology and medicine, but he also practiced all the Spells the Family had collected. The [Heaven Rewards the Diligent] Fate was born for versatility, forging his life-saving healing techniques.

As long as there was a single breath left, he had a way to bring them back.

Su Yang injected spiritual power to help An Ziyao remove internal blood stasis and residual Spell energy. He took out a silver needle and pricked An Ziyao's fingertip; black blood dripped down the needle.

A moment later, a hint of color returned to An Ziyao's face. He slowly opened his eyes and hoarsely called out, "Family Head."

Seeing this, Luo Qian's hanging heart finally settled.

"It's fine now. Tell me what happened."

Su Yang placed his palm on Luo Qian's wrist: "There's residual cold damage in your body. Just take this Medicinal Pill."

Finding that Luo Qian was mostly fine, he simply handed over a Medicinal Pill.

Luo Qian took it and swallowed it immediately, then began to recount their experiences after leaving the Su Family.

To find the Beast Taming Inheritance, the two followed Su Yang's instructions and visited auctions and shops in several Cultivation Markets.

Although the search results were unsatisfying, they happened to learn that a Foundation Establishment Senior from the Yuling Sect had fallen, and he had left an Immortal Cave near Lanshui County.

The core Legacy of the Yuling Sect was the breeding and manipulation of Yao Beasts.

With the death of a Yuling Sect Cultivator, his Immortal Cave likely contained a Beast Taming Inheritance.

Upon hearing this news, Luo Qian and An Ziyao immediately decided to go to Lanshui County to find the Foundation Establishment Cultivator's Immortal Cave.

But there were many Cultivators who knew of this news.

When the two arrived at Lanshui County, they encountered Cultivators from the Yunmeng Ruins' Fang Family in an inn. The leader was none other than Fang Xin, who had previously clashed with Su Xuanheng and the others in the Ten Thousand Mountains Secret Realm.

At first, both Luo Qian and An Ziyao hid their cultivation auras and concealed their appearances, so they weren't noticed by the other party.

But An Ziyao overheard the Fang Family talking with another group of Cultivators, and they actually mentioned the Su Family with insulting and mocking words.

An Ziyao already had a bit of a temper, and having clashed with Fang Xin before, he couldn't stand hearing them distort the truth and slander the Su Family, so he indignantly refuted their claims.

As a result, Fang Xin, without even asking for the facts, claimed they were hiding because they must be Su Family Cultivators and demanded they reveal their identities.

Seeing this, Luo Qian hurried to pull An Ziyao back, telling him not to be impulsive and expose their identities.

For the sake of the bigger picture, An Ziyao had to swallow his anger and leave the inn with Luo Qian.

However, seeing this, the Fang Family's arrogance flared up, and they actually forced the two to kneel and apologize before they could leave, or else they would have to leave their lives behind.

An Ziyao finally reached his limit, and both sides started fighting on the spot.

Luo Qian didn't have Su Xuanheng's strength, and with only An Ziyao, they were ultimately outnumbered.

The two fled all the way, and An Ziyao was heavily injured while covering for Luo Qian.

It wasn't until they ran into a sudden beast tide that the two finally escaped the Fang Family's pursuit and fled back to Qingyuan County.

"The Fang Family... the one from the Yunshou Alliance?"

Su Xuanjing found it familiar and couldn't help but ask her second brother curiously.

Su Xuanming nodded: "They're the only ones we've had conflicts with. The Yunshou Alliance kept its promise and didn't settle scores with us later, but this Fang Family..."

After Su Xuanheng and the others came out of the Secret Realm, the Su Family conducted an investigation into the Yunshou Alliance and the Fang Family.

The Yunshou Alliance is the largest power in the Yunmeng Ruins, composed of several Family forces.

The Fang Family is one of the members of the Yunshou Alliance.

According to the Yunshou Alliance's rules, the Fang Family could have asked the alliance to destroy the Su Family.

But before leaving the Ten Thousand Mountains, the Yunshou Alliance's Vice Alliance Leader, Alliance Leader Situ Yu, promised that the matters between both sides were settled and that they wouldn't settle scores later.

At that time, Fang Xin also claimed he would withdraw the Fang Family from the Yunshou Alliance on their behalf, but surprisingly, the Fang Family has remained in the alliance until now.

Since they hadn't withdrawn, they had to follow the alliance's rules.

Therefore, for so long, neither the Yunshou Alliance nor the Fang Family had caused trouble for the Su Family.

Su Yang thought the matter was over and that both sides would mind their own business from then on.

He didn't expect that the Fang Family hadn't let go of the grudge; they still harbored resentment toward the Su Family and were spreading rumors and slandering them outside.

An Ziyao had been taken in by the Su Family since he was a child, so hearing the Su Family being insulted and slandered, he naturally couldn't stand it.

But he only refuted Fang Xin's false statements, and Fang Xin seized the opportunity to humiliate him, showing how many times he must have rehearsed the scene of seeking revenge against the Su Family in his mind.

"Family Head, I was reckless. Please punish me."

An Ziyao said weakly, his face full of guilt.

"Indeed reckless," Su Yang said indifferently. "However, punishment isn't necessary. This injury is the price of your recklessness."

"Yes, next time..."

An Ziyao lowered his head, but before he could finish his sentence, Su Yang interrupted him.

"Next time you encounter someone slandering the Su Family, don't act recklessly. You should take note of them first and carefully weigh the difference in strength before taking action. Only then will it be in line with the Su Family's style."

The Su Family naturally shouldn't be slandered for no reason, but one must be cautious before acting.

An Ziyao standing up for the Su Family's name was a good thing, but he was indeed a bit reckless.

One must know that the person by his side this time wasn't Su Xuanheng, but Luo Qian, whose cultivation was only at the third level of Qi Refining.

Even if he didn't think of himself, he should have considered his companion, Luo Qian.

Su Yang hoped this incident would make An Ziyao more stable and prevent him from making major mistakes in the future.

"Father is right. Before doing anything, one must think calmly. Once a conflict starts, one must destroy the opponent with thunderous momentum and then pull out the roots to eliminate the problem!"

Su Xuanxiao's immature voice was powerful and resonant, showing he had deeply understood his father's words.

Su Yang nodded with satisfaction upon hearing this; as expected, his youngest son understood him best.

"Alright, recover from your injuries first. During this time, take good care of the Family. I'm going to Lanshui County to collect some interest."

Su Yang stood up, using a Water-element spell to wash away the blood on his hands.

"Father, you're going to Lanshui County alone to find the Fang Family?"

Su Xuanming immediately understood his father's intention. He frowned and said, "The Great Wei is about to fall into war. Now is not a suitable time to go out."

"No matter, leave this to me!"

Su Xuanjing stepped forward. Her Talisman Arts skills had improved greatly recently, and she was looking for someone to test them on.
