Chapter 6: Tell the World! This Tianwu’s Heaven… Is Su!
The elders of the Su family were all dead, the family’s consecrated experts scattered like birds and beasts, and the acting patriarch had his cultivation crippled.
Yet despite such a huge upheaval, Su Zhou, the patriarch of the Su family, had still not emerged from seclusion.
Because of this, many families speculated that Su Zhou had already died.
What followed then happened as a matter of course.
The Li family, once a vassal of the Su family, was the first to rebel, and the Su family’s industries were gradually swallowed up by various families.
Their family’s foundations were hollowed out bit by bit— with no top-tier experts holding the fort, and no consecrated cultivators willing to join them.
The long-suppressed resentment and guilt for failing to protect his people quickly caused Su Chao’s body to collapse.
Then, under the open and covert power struggles of the great families, less than a tenth of the Su family’s former assets remained.
But the Su family had once shone too brightly— the name of the Three Heroes of the Su Family had once weighed so heavily that the entire Tianwu City could barely breathe beneath it.
Even so, the allure of this juicy chunk of meat that was the Su family was too much to resist.
Thus, the Li family became the dog that tested the waters.
“What I’m most grateful for right now is that Xiao Mu hasn’t returned all these years.”
“Otherwise, with his temperament, he’d definitely have tried to clash with those at the Heaven Origin Realm, and if anything happened to him… I truly wouldn’t know how to face myself.”
The ‘Xiao Mu’ Su Chao referred to was Su Mu—full name Su Mu— the youngest brother of Su Zhou.
He had a fiery personality and couldn’t tolerate even a grain of sand in his eye1.
Aside from Su Zhou, even when the elders spoke, if he disagreed, he’d still turn hostile.
His talent was extraordinary, and he was fiercely fearless of death.
People of that generation had once called Su Mu the Mad Dog of the Su Family.
Anyone who dared to provoke the Su family— even if it cost him his life— he’d still bite a piece of flesh from them.
Before Su Zhou entered seclusion, Su Mu had gone out with a wandering expert and had not returned since.
“Big Brother, all of this is my fault.” Su Chao said, filled with pain.
“Hmph! Such arrogance—killing our family elders, crippling my brother, and still having the nerve to call the Su family ants?”
Hearing his younger brother’s words, a surge of anger rose in Su Zhou’s heart, and a cold smile appeared on his face.
“Xiao Chao, what fault is there of yours? What’s there to blame you for?”
“You don’t need to blame yourself, nor be afraid. I am here. I am the patriarch of the Su family—the pillar of our family.”
“This debt—I will make them pay it back in full.”
“But Big Brother…”
“Everything will be taken care of—by me!”
“Xiao Chao, remember this—before long, I will make them come crawling to our doorstep, begging you to bring back your sister-in-law and nephew!”
His voice was domineering to the extreme, overflowing with absolute confidence.
Heaven Origin-level slaves?
Perhaps to the former Su family, such a force was untouchable.
But from the moment Su Zhou left home and awakened his system, everything had changed.
As long as he developed steadily, taking one step at a time, it wouldn’t take long— Su Zhou was confident he’d make those who called the Su family ‘ants’ wish they were dead instead.
Su Zhou’s words thundered through Su Chao’s heart like a bolt of lightning, causing roots to sprout once more in his decaying spirit.
If someone else had said such things, he’d surely have thought they were mad.
But the one saying it was Su Zhou—his big brother, the Su family patriarch who once held up the heavens for them.
Even if the words sounded like fantasies, like the dreams of a madman— Su Chao was willing to believe!
“Yes! Big Brother!!” Su Chao exclaimed with all his might.
Though his voice was still weak, it now carried a glimmer of hope.
“Uncle!”
Just then, Su Buki returned to the hall.
“As per your instructions, the family members have begun reclaiming our former businesses. Many shops and taverns have already been taken back.”
“However, the Li family attacked some of our younger members. I’ve already slain those responsible.”
“As for what comes next, I dared not act on my own, so I brought the others back to await your command.”
Outside the hall, a crowd of Su family members stood armed, their gazes icy cold.
They awaited only one word from Su Zhou— even if it meant walking into fire and blades, they would follow without hesitation.
“The Li family…”
Upon hearing this, a cold gleam flashed in Su Zhou’s eyes.
“That dog we once fed really has forgotten who its master is.”
“I had planned to finish settling the family’s internal affairs before dealing with them, but since the Li family is so eager to die…”
Murderous intent surged in Su Zhou’s heart.
Now that he had returned, this dog that dared bite its master— he’d beat it to death.
[Ding!! Family Quest Triggered: Annihilate the Li Family, Shake the Heavens of Tianwu!!] [Quest Reward: Heaven-grade Pill — Body Refining Elixir; Earth-grade Technique — Heaven and Earth Spring Concealment Art!]Hearing that ethereal voice in his ear, Su Zhou no longer hesitated.
“Tianwu’s winds are cold. Second Brother, go rest properly…”
“Big Brother, you…”
“It’s autumn now. I remember—when I went into seclusion, it was also autumn. They say ‘a good autumn comes with a chill in the air’…”
“Well, the weather’s turning cold— time for the Li family to perish.”
Su Zhou’s voice remained calm, but the killing intent in his words surged like a tide, threatening to drown everything.
“All Su family disciples— follow me to destroy the Li family!”
“Any who block our path— shall be…”
“Killed without mercy!”
With these words, the family members waiting outside felt goosebumps rise all over their bodies.
It had been so many years…
So many years since such tyrannical and unmatched words had last echoed from the Su family.
To others, this voice was like the sneer of a demon.
But to them— it was a rallying banner in the wind, the battle horn calling them to war.
“By the patriarch’s will!! Destroy the Li family!!!”
Su Zhou then strode out in great strides, the Su family disciples following closely behind.
Heads held high, their momentum surged skyward.
In these ten years, the Su family’s spine had never bent.
Now that Su Zhou had returned, he was going to let the entire Tianwu City know—
That the skies of Tianwu… bear the surname Su.
