<h4>Chapter 119: Chapter 119 Deyue Tower</h4>


    After absorbing the Spiritual Energy, Su Yang did not leave Wanshan Lake right away. Instead, he took out the Nine Cold Jade Sword and nourished it with his blood.


    Following the influx of Spiritual Energy, his entire body was in the most sensitive state. It was at this moment that nurturing the sword was easiest to establish a connection with it.


    Indeed, during this session of nurturing the sword, Su Yang distinctly felt the presence of the Nine Cold Jade Sword.


    Quickly capturing the aura of the Nine Cold Jade Sword, it merged seamlessly with the energy within his body. Half an hourter, light began to shimmer from within the Nine Cold Jade Sword.


    "Rise!" Su Yangmanded softly, and the Nine Cold Jade Sword soared into the air, performing several spins with extreme agility. Wherever it passed, the air was cleaved, producing a hissing sound, its might terrifying.


    This was the power of the Sword Riding Technique, as Su Yang stood on the Nine Cold Jade Sword, attempting to ride it through the air.


    At first, he wasn’t very proficient, but after several attempts, Su Yang gradually mastered the technique. An hourter, his skill at flying with the sword had be very adept.


    Putting away the Nine Cold Jade Sword, Su Yang couldn’t help but think of the words Li Wanxiong had said earlier.


    Tonight at eight o’clock at Deyue Tower, he had invited so many experts; it seems he ns to settle the matter with Hu Xiexie!


    "In that case, at eight o’clock tonight, I shall also make a trip there!" Su Yang whispered to himself.


    ...


    At seven o’clock in the evening, Su Yang called Hu Xiexie several times but was unable to get through, which probably meant she had her phone turned off.


    As Su Yang contemted how to enter Deyue Tower to assess the situation, he suddenly remembered Hu Wan whom he had encountered before.


    Su Yang went directly to Zhao Yuanyuan and through her, he contacted Hu Wan.


    Just as Su Yang had expected, Hu Wan had already arrived at Deyue Tower. Upon hearing that Su Yang wasing to help, Hu Wan was overjoyed and immediately sent someone to pick up Su Yang.


    Half an hourter, Su Yang also arrived at Deyue Tower.


    Deyue Tower was a small vi built on a mountain to the south; its owner was keen on drinking tea, hence most visitors who came here did so for the tea.


    However, the atmosphere in Deyue Tower tonight was noticeably tense.


    As soon as Su Yang entered Deyue Tower, he heard an arrogantughter from within, "Hahaha, since the old man hase personally, how can I allow those ne’er-do-wells to run amok!"


    Entering the hall, Su Yang saw from a distance Hu Xiexie sitting bored beside Li Wanxiong.


    Not far away, several people, among them Hao Tiangong and Duan Chengjiu whom Su Yang had seen in the morning, were seated.


    Hao Jun was sitting not too far from Hu Xiexie, his eyes never straying from her.


    On another side, an elderly man was seated. His demeanor was exceedingly arrogant, as if he didn’t regard anyone in the room at all. The previous statement hade from him.


    "I guess after these peoplee tonight and hear the name Thunderp Hand Wang Jinglei, they’ll immediately kneel and beg for mercy," Duan Chengjiu said with a sycophantic smile. "Old Wang was already a well-known figure when I hadn’t even started practicing martial arts, how could these nameless youngsterspare?"


    The elderly man’s face showed pleasure, as Duan Chengjiu’s words struck a chord with him.


    Just then, Li Wanxiong caught sight of Su Yang, his eyebrows immediately furrowed, he said in a deep voice, "Su Yang, why have youe!"


    Hu Xiexie also saw Su Yang and couldn’t help but exim in surprise, "Su Yang!"


    Hao Jun looked over angrily, displeased with Hu Xiexie’s reaction.


    "I am here to help tonight!" Su Yang walked deliberately into the hall, grabbed a chair for himself, and sat down, "I was invited by Mr. Hu Wan!"


    "Hu Wan?" Li Wanxiong slightly startled, looked towards the entrance at Hu Wan, "What happened?"


    Hu Wan immediately said, "This Mr. Su, is very strong. Before..."


    "A wet-behind-the-ears brat, what strength does he have?" Hao Tiangong scoffed coldly, "My son has been training with me for over a decade, and I dare not im he is strong. How can he be so arrogantly assertive?"


    Hu Wan’s face turned awkward as Hao Tiangong was, after all, the fourth-ranking expert in Nanluo City; he didn’t dare to retort rashly.


    "You’re right in what you say!" Su Yang spoke slowly, "Never mind your son, even after decades of training, you’re merely so-so."


    "What did you say!" Hao Tiangong burst into fury.


    Li Wanxiong’s expression also changed; Hao Tiangong was someone he had gone to great lengths to invite to help out. Now Su Yang was insulting him, how could this be tolerated?


    "I said you’re merely so-so!" Su Yang replied word by word.


    "You’ve got some nerve!" Hao Tiangong roared angrily, about to stand up but was stopped by Duan Chengjiu next to him.


    "Master Hao, he’s just a child, why bother stooping to his level?" Duan Chengjiu said with a light smile.


    Hao Tiangong sat down resentfully, but his gaze towards Su Yang became even more furious.


    Thunderp Hand Wang Jing Lei spoke in a deep voice, "Young man, too ignorant to recognize the nuances of the world, you dare to spout such wild words. Is this how your seniors taught you?"


    Su Yang nced at Wang Jing Lei. This was a peak Qi Refining expert on the verge of advancing to the Fusion Realm, quite a formidable strength indeed.


    If it were the Su Yang of before, defeating him would be possible but certainly not easy.


    However, now things were different. This morning, after Su Yang absorbed the spiritual energy from Wanshan Lake, his strength had greatly improved. Relying solely on his own power, he could easily defeat Wang Jing Lei.


    And most crucially, Su Yang now had control of the Nine Cold Jade Sword. The Sword Riding Technique was Su Yang’s greatest reliance now!


    With this Sword Riding Technique, Su Yang could even contend with experts in the Fusion Realm!


    "So you’re saying, with agees the wisdom to know the skies’ height and the earth’s depth, allowing wild words to be spoken?" Su Yang asked coldly in retort.


    "You’ve got a lot of nerve! To speak to me like this!" Wang Jing Lei raged.


    "It’s you who’s got a lot of nerve to speak to me like that!" Su Yang responded coldly, "You have no idea what sort of existence you’re facing!"


    Wang Jing Lei burst into derisiveughter, pointing at Su Yang, "What kind of existence am I facing? A green youngster, you think you can defy the heavens?"


    "Su Yang, have you caused enough trouble?!" Li Wanxiong shouted angrily, "Get out of here right now; this is not a ce for you!"


    Su Yang replied coldly, "Butler Hu invited me here. Once the matter is settled, I’ll naturally leave."


    "Hu Wan!" Li Wanxiong turned angrily towards Hu Wan, "Take him out!"


    "Mr. Li, Mr. Su really has true ability!" Hu Wan said urgently.


    "What are you saying, are we not truly capable?" Hao Tiangong said angrily.


    "That’s not what I meant..." Hu Wan was very worried, and Li Wanxiong’splexion grew even darker. If Hao Tiangong and the others were to leave in anger, tonight would be troublesome indeed.


    "Mr. Su, are you determined to cause a disturbance here?!" Li Wanxiong asked urgently, "Do you know what tonight’s event is?"


    "It’s precisely because I know what tonight’s event is that I’m here," Su Yang said, standing with his hands behind his back, looking towards the window, "Just in time, people are arriving!"
