Su Yunming’s presence surged like waves, exerting immense pressure on Su Mingxuan and the others.
“He is truly dead.” Undaunted, Su Mingxuan continued, “The demon beasts that pursued us numbered at least in the thousands, among which many were Second Order. Even the Peak Second Order Three-Tailed Demon Monkey was there. Guard Team Captain Pang Qing perished there as well. Uncle, it’s best you abandon all hope.”
“Pang Qing died covering our retreat, but Su Han arrogantly sought to profit from the Core of the Demon Beast, heedless of our warnings. Reflecting on it now, he truly deserved his end,” Su Minghui chimed in.
He and Su Mingxuan were in collusion, their statements prearranged.
After all, Su Han was already dead. They could say whatever they pleased; who was there to refute them?
As for Hu Feng and others...
Upon hearing the words of Su Mingxuan and Su Minghui, Hu Feng’s face was expressionless, yet his heart convulsed with continual spasms of rage.
But he was helpless. He dared not clarify, for his wife and child were with the Su Family.
Moreover, from the looks of it, it seemed both Su Han and Pang Qing were dead. To offer explanations would only be inviting trouble upon himself.
“Who did you say died deservedly?!”
Su Yunming’s gaze grew icy as he said coldly, “I refuse to believe Han’er would be that greedy. You two are lying!”
“Brother, can’t you calm down a bit?”
Su Yunchen sneered internally and stood up, saying, “Su Han is dead. What good does your anger do? It’d be better to prepare for his funeral.”
“Whom are you cursing?”
Su Yunchen’s expression darkened as he said, “My mother is your mother too. Be careful with your words!”
He even suspected that these two were responsible for Su Han’s death.
Facing his intense glare, Su Mingxuan and the other felt pressure, but they clenched their teeth and refused to back down, convinced that Su Yunming could not really harm them.
“Is that something a person would say?”
Su Yunming’s eyes almost bulged out from anger, the whites turning blood red, his body emanating Dragon Qi, seemingly on the brink of taking action.
“What, you plan to strike?”
Su Yunpeng furrowed his brows and said with a cold laugh, “Let me remind you, this is the Su Family’s ground. Even as the Family Head, you must act within your means!”
All of a sudden, Su Yunming burst into laughter, “You two damn fools, ever since I became Family Head, you have always opposed me, trying to seize this position for yourselves.”
“He died by the hands of a demon beast, not by us. Why are you unleashing your anger on us?” Su Yunchen coldly huffed.
Su Yunchen curled his lip and said no more.
“Oh, what a grand display.”
Just then, a faint voice suddenly came from outside the hall.
“Han’er, really, is it my Han’er? Are you alright?”
“Why should anything be wrong?” Su Han glanced at Su Mingxuan and another, guessing some things, and immediately said, “Is someone hoping something happened to me?”
Su Han glanced at Su Mingxuan and another, guessing some things, and immediately said, “Is someone hoping something happened to me?”
Upon hearing this, Su Mingxuan and the other felt a sudden sinking in their hearts.
Like father, like son. Su Yunming knew Su Yunchen and Su Yunpeng well and naturally knew what their sons were like.
Su Yunlie also realized that something was amiss, looked up at Su Han, and asked, “Han’er, what really happened?”
Before Su Han could speak, Pang Qing appropriately said, “Back then, when my colleagues and I were besieged by demon beasts and saw no escape, I decided to stay behind and cover their escape. Young Master Han saw that alone I would surely die and chose to stay with me. I had intended to have Hu Feng and Zhang Hai take Young Master Han away, but Young Master Mingxuan and Young Master Minghui threatened them with their family, forcing Hu Feng and Zhang Hai to leave and abandoning Young Master Han there.
“You’re lying!” “Who’s playing the victim is still up for debate,” Pang Qing snorted.
“Who’s playing the victim is still up for debate,” Pang Qing snorted.
He now stood firmly on Su Han’s side.
Su Yunlie’s face darkened, and he asked Hu Feng, “Hu Feng, is this true?”
Hu Feng wanted to speak, but the piercing gaze of Su Mingxuan and Su Minghui weighed on him. In the end, he sighed and remained silent.
Hearing this, a great weight lifted from Hu Feng’s heart, and he immediately said, “Indeed, that’s how it was. When Brother Pang Qing was holding back, we were in utter despair, planning to take the three Young Masters and withdraw. But Young Master Mingxuan and Young Master Minghui forced us, resulting in Young Master Han being left in the Demon Beast Mountain Range. Fortunately, he survived.”
