Chapter 483: Was He Defeated by His Own Arrogance?

Chapter 483: Was He Defeated by His Own Arrogance?

November 8, 2024

The troublemaker, Fan Chengyan, and her disciple were responsible for this mess.

Fan Chengyan, known for her domineering ways, had always been audacious in her actions.

And with that came no shortage of trouble.

But this time, things seemed a little different.

In the past, Fan Chengyan had only provoked members of various major sects.

When she acted arrogantly in front of others, the retaliation was limited, as they had to consider the sects they belonged to.

Su Chen, on the other hand, had no such constraints.

In the pavilion, after a period of silence, one of the elders began to speak about Su Chen's identity.

"This Su Chen is from Tian Gang City in the southern Zhou Kingdom.

But after provoking Mo Yuan, he left Tian Gang City.

Previously, Elder Fan sent people to collude with the Zhou Kingdom's court, almost causing an internal crisis.

The court has already issued a strict warning to us.

Currently, he's in the Jin Kingdom, and Tian Gang City is no longer protecting him.

After arriving in the Jin Kingdom, he somehow managed to associate himself with Zhu Ming Palace.

Through our efforts, Zhu Ming Palace is no longer sheltering him.

He had two family members in the Zhou Kingdom, but after provoking Mo Yuan, they disappeared without a trace."

The elder's words were mostly accurate, providing a precise account of Su Chen's information.

"Should we take action against Tian Gang City?"

One of the elders thought for a moment before offering his suggestion.

Upon hearing this, the manor lord, Hao Yuan, contemplated but did not express any opinion.

Tian Gang City, a minor sect in the Great Zhou, was not worth comparing to Wulan Manor.

In Hao Yuan's opinion, taking action against Tian Gang City would be easy.

But Su Chen was merely a disciple of Tian Gang City, so would it be meaningful to target the entire sect?

It was like Su Chen, in retaliation against Jun Han and Sang Muye, had eliminated the others from Wulan Manor.

They would be angry, but these young people cared more about themselves.

"Let's forget about Tian Gang City; there's no need to argue with the court.

If we can find his family, that would be more valuable."

Hao Yuan frowned, expressing his judgment.

In reality, Hao Yuan believed that even capturing Su Chen's family might not stop him.

It might even drive Su Chen to greater madness.

[

{

"Su Chen's capture seems to be the key to ending this farce. How did this situation come about in the first place?",

"Hao Yuan pursed his lips and turned to the other elders, demanding an answer."

},

{

"I asked Mo Liuzheng earlier, and she witnessed the whole incident. Initially, at the Ming Ying Battlefield, Su Chen provoked Sang Muye over a treasure he found. Sang Muye tried to take it by force, and that's how the trouble started.",

"Hearing this, Manor Lord Hao Yuan couldn't help but roll his eyes."

},

{

"Why does it always have to be about treasures? Can't they just talk things out? They resort to violence and even attempt to silence witnesses.",

"Manor Lord Hao Yuan frowned, clearly disapproving of such behavior. But the deed was already done."

},

{

"How was this explained to the public?",

"It was announced that Su Chen stole Sang Muye's treasure, leading to their grudge."

},

{

"Hao Yuan nodded. For now, this explanation is the most appropriate. What level of cultivation does Su Chen have? Jun Han is among the most outstanding of the younger generation. How could he be injured by a young warrior from the Zhou Kingdom?",

"The elders had already gathered some information before arriving. They knew their lord would inquire."

},

{

"During the Xuan Ying Tournament, Su Chen was already at the Fifth Stage Beginner level and possessed some abilities. According to Jun Han, Su Chen ambushed him, and he couldn't react in time.",

"Hearing this, Manor Lord Hao Yuan scoffed."

},

{

"Jun Han is trying to save face by exaggerating Su Chen's strength. But even as a Fifth Stage Beginner, as the senior disciple of Wulan Manor, he shouldn't have been injured by Su Chen.",

"Hao Yuan's words directly lowered Jun Han's evaluation."

},

{

"Jun Han's potential has likely reached its peak. From now on, his resources in Wulan Manor will be reduced accordingly.",

"Hao Yuan's statement immediately downgraded Jun Han's standing within the manor."

},

{

"Although Elder Fan is not here, we can't just leave this matter unresolved. Jun Han was injured on the way to Heaven Spanning Mountain. It's a journey of at most a few days from our Wulan Manor, and our people often pass through that route. What does this tell us, elders? Share your thoughts on how we should respond.",

"Everyone knew the best solution was to capture Su Chen. The question was, how could they achieve this?"

}

Su Chen's whereabouts were not so easily discovered.

The key was that many had never even seen Su Chen before.

"Mountain Manor Master, I think we shouldn't escalate this matter.

By controlling the intensity within a certain range, it might be more beneficial for us."

Beside him, an Elder expressed his thoughts.

His words were rather implicit, but everyone present was a high-ranking member of the Sect, an astute individual.

How could they not understand his meaning?

As the Mountain Manor Master of Wulan Manor, Hao Yuan also showed some interest.

"Elder Zhang, please continue. How should we control this intensity?"

Elder Zhang didn't hesitate. Since he was asked to speak, he spoke frankly.

"To deal with Su Chen, it seems there is no immediate solution at the moment, and no immediate solution is in sight.

On the contrary, his threat has a greater impact on us, causing quite a bit of trouble.

But there's one thing, Su Chen's actions are all related to that child of Sang Muye.

He has taken action against those who have targeted him.

Wulan Manor has just gotten rid of some troubles, and we can't empty the nest to deal with this young disciple.

Let's just have Elder Fan handle it, and we won't get involved.

This Su Chen seems to know his place, and he hasn't taken action against anyone else."

Upon hearing this, Hao Yuan frowned slightly.

"This is somewhat inappropriate. Sang Muye and Jun Han are both disciples of Wulan Manor. If they are injured, the Manor must take a stand."

Hao Yuan hesitated for a moment and looked at the other Elders.

"Everyone, please calculate and see how many people we can spare to assist in this matter.

After Elder Fan returns, she will definitely ask the Manor for assistance.

At that time, we can also provide her with some support.

Recently, when the Manor's young disciples go out, we should pay extra attention.

If there are powerful individuals to protect them, we should do our best to ensure their safety."

Hearing the Manor Master's words, another Elder also stood up to speak.

"Master, there's no need to worry too much. It's just a young troublemaker.

He injured Sang Muye at the Sacred Jade Tournament, and the Sang Family will take action for their younger generation.

Although Sang Muye is a disciple of Wulan Manor, his more direct identity is that of the Sang Family.

The Sang Family will be very interested in learning about the whereabouts of this young disciple.

They will be more proactive than us in finding and dealing with him.

In the end, the Sang Family will take the lead in this matter.

Let Elder Fan handle it and respond to this young disciple; that's sufficient.

The impact on Wulan Manor won't be too significant."

Hao Yuan, the Manor Master, listened to these words.

With the Sang Family's involvement, Wulan Manor's efforts will be reduced.

But Su Chen's injury to Jun Han will undoubtedly have a considerable impact on Wulan Manor.

Jun Han, the senior brother of the younger generation, has been injured.

The younger disciples will be worried about Su Chen's ambush.

This sense of fear may spread among the younger generation.

Two days passed, and Su Chen was still waiting in Yangchun City.

However, Wulan Manor kept the news under wraps and did not spread it.

Within the Manor, Jun Han received a notification.

Not only did Su Chen's attack injure him, but it also cost him the opportunity to cultivate at Heaven Spanning Mountain.

At this moment, he received another piece of bad news.

His evaluation level, as Jun Han, was directly downgraded.

Read the flawless version at 69bookbar! 6=9+book_bar first release of this novel.

Having been at the peak of the Fifth Stage for many years without promotion, he was deeply troubled.

He anxiously anticipated the day when the Manor would downgrade his evaluation.

He worried and worried, and finally, it happened.

If it were due to his own reasons, Jun Han would accept it.

But encountering all this was all because of Su Chen's ambush and injury.

Intense hatred entangled his heart.

The next moment, fresh blood was directly spat out by Jun Han.

In his anger, Jun Han had never experienced such a situation.

Countless setbacks, but none compared to the troubles Su Chen brought him.

Fortunately, his foundation was not injured.

Wulan Manor's cultivation method saved him.

But this injury was somewhat severe; Jun Han would need at least six months of rest.

As the senior brother, he already had a lot of pressure.

Now, with six more months of rest, his cultivation path could only be further delayed.

At this moment, Jun Han felt a hint of regret.

When he helped Sang Muye, he never imagined it would lead to this.

A warrior from Zhou Kingdom dared not only to take action against Sang Muye.

But he also dared to come near Wulan Manor and ambush him.

At this moment, the junior disciple who came to deliver the news to Jun Han had not left.

This junior disciple had followed Jun Han for many years and was one of his trusted attendants.

After conveying the news about the evaluation downgrade, he had more to say.

"Senior Brother, right now, everyone in the Manor..."

"Go on, what are they saying about me?"

No problem, I can take it."

Jun Han appeared carefree, and even waved his hand to let him relax.

"Second Senior Brother, Third Senior Brother, they've been wanting to suppress you for a long time."

After this incident, they took the lead in fabricating many stories, all of which were disparaging towards Jun Han.

They said that his innate talent had been exhausted, so for so many years, he had been stuck at the peak of the Fifth Stage without being able to advance.

They also said that his strength was all just cheap tricks, useless tricks.

Even a poor rural martial artist couldn't defeat him.

That Su Chen was younger than Jun Han, and his strength was lower than Jun Han's.

But Jun Han was severely injured by him."

Jun Han felt some anger upon hearing these words.

These junior brothers and sisters were even more ruthless towards him than Su Chen had been.

"Why did everyone believe these things?"

The junior brother who was asked turned even more pale.

"Senior Brother, you were indeed injured by that Su Chen. The injury was not light.

They say that Su Chen only has the strength of the Fifth Stage Beginner.

His strength, in our Manor, would have a hard time ranking in the top fifty.

You were injured by him."

"He ambushed me, I was injured by an ambush!"

Jun Han was caught off guard and couldn't help but speak up for himself.

The junior brother beside him nodded, as if he had already guessed that Jun Han would say this.

"Senior Brother, whether it was an ambush or not, you were still severely injured by him.

Moreover, the last time, Senior Brother Mo Yuan was ambushed by this person, and he didn't suffer such a serious injury.

I also think it's not right."

Hearing his most trusted junior brother say this, Jun Han's heart turned even colder.

Needless to say, the doubts the other disciples had towards Jun Han would only be more intense.

"This Su Chen, he's not as bad as everyone imagines.

To reach the Fifth Stage at this age, and even dare to go against our Wulan Manor.

He has strength."

Jun Han never would have thought that one day, he would speak up for Su Chen and raise Su Chen's evaluation.

Hearing this, the junior brother in front of him seemed even more disappointed.

"Senior Brother, were you defeated by him?"

This sentence left Jun Han speechless.

His lips moved several times, but he couldn't say anything.

He knew that he had lost this time.

In the Wulan Manor, his prestige as a senior brother would quickly dissipate.

The Manor's disciples would no longer respect him as they used to.

Lying on his sickbed, Jun Han's mind replayed the scene from that day.

Su Chen's ambush, he believed he had handled it well enough.

At that time, Su Chen's first move was somewhat bizarre and hard to guard against.

The custom-made inner armor he wore shattered instantly.

In the next moment, the second move arrived.

The Tai Xiao Blade Technique was an extremely fierce move among the Jiu Xiao Blade Techniques.

And this move, at that time, also scared Jun Han into breaking out in a cold sweat.

If not for his timely defense, Jun Han believed he might not have even been able to keep his life.

The terrifying blade technique, at that time, seemed like it wanted to devour him.

Recalling it again, Jun Han still found it frightening.

Even if not for his own defense, Jun Han still wanted to say that Su Chen was not as simple as they thought.

His swift and bizarre movements, and the fierce and sharp blade technique.

To be honest, Su Chen's strength was something Jun Han had to take seriously.

"Senior Brother, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave.

I'll come visit you later."

Hearing the junior brother's voice beside him, Jun Han didn't respond.

In his mind, resentment grew.

In this resentment, there was hatred towards Su Chen.

There was also hatred towards the other disciples of the Manor, the Second and Third Senior Brothers.

These juniors usually seemed quite nice, but at the critical moment, they didn't hesitate to kick him while he was down.

Under this resentment, Jun Han felt some hope.

He hoped that Su Chen could strike again at the disciples of Wulan Manor.

Ideally, the target would be the Second or Third Senior Brother.

Let the disciples of Wulan Manor see.

That he, Jun Han, was injured by an ambush, not because he was weak.

But because Su Chen truly had some skills.

Jun Han hated Su Chen, but now, besides hatred, there was also some worry.

He feared that Su Chen would be easily captured.

He feared that when Su Chen dealt with him, his superior strength would make him look incompetent in front of others.

If such a situation really occurred, then he, Jun Han, would have to endure others' disdain for a lifetime.

He hoped even more that Su Chen could slaughter his way through.

Ideally, in some public occasion, he could fully display his abilities.

Of course, after displaying all this,

He still hoped that Su Chen wouldn't meet a good end.

He still wished for Su Chen to have a tragic fate.
