Insignificant

Su Fengtian and Yang Muli were being treated like insignificant ants. It was far too unbearable, even the Su Family's Third Forefather was no better.

"Young Master, how would you like to deal with them?" Protector Xing's voice became cold and he no longer appeared like a kind elder.

It could be said that the Yang and Su Family held a great deal of power within the capital. If they were to perish overnight, it would lead to a lot of chaos and force a big gap to be filled.

They could not be careless with this matter. Right now, they still had to reside in this tiny Lin Kingdom, so they still had to show the Lin's some face.

"I understand, Senior." Tang Zixin nodded while Han Ying stood obediently at his side. Protector Xing was not wrong at all.

With a thought, he came up with a solution.

"The Su Family's Third Forefather." Tang Zixin's voice was low but commanding.

"Twelve-Suns Eldest Young Master." The Su Family's Third Forefather grit his teeth. He knew that, no matter what was decided, his family's end would not be good today.

"As you know, I am a very reasonable young master."

This single sentence caused many to vomit out blood in anger. Whenever he came out, the kingdom was never at peace.

Tang Zixin continued, "I will not be too ruthless, and I will leave both the Su's and Yang's a path of survival. There is no need to thank me."

"And just what is that, Twelve-Suns Young Master." The Su Family's Third Forefather trembled.

No matter what, he knew that he did not stand a chance against the combined might of Tang Zixin and Protector Xing.

"Simple. I will let the Su and Yang Family live, but today, these two must leave their lives with me today for offending my woman!" Tang Zixin pointed at Su Fengtian and Yang Muli who both trembled in fear.

"Impossible!" The Su Family's Third Forefather cried out. This was their family's top genius, without him, how were they meant to fight for power in the future?

Perhaps it could have been salvageable before all those auspicious signs, but the Su Family's Third Forefather knew that the battle to become a Saint Ruler would soon begin.

In such an era, without a top genius to fight for them, they would very quickly disappear along with the river of time.

It was the same as sentencing them to death!

"Old Su." Protector Xing's voice was cold. "Even if the Young Master is able to tolerate your disrespect, I will not. Be careful about what you say next."

"You…" The Su Family's Third Forefather coughed more blood.

The Su Family's Third Forefather, after coughing out so much blood with his current decaying body, he would definitely not have much longer to live.

He knew that if he did not accept this situation now, it was very likely for the whole Su Family to fall overnight.

Left with no choice, the Su Family's Third Forefather slumped to the floor, seeming like he had aged a thousand years and would enter his coffin within a few days, "Fine…"

"Smart choice." Protector Xing nodded.

The young ladies present were also in shock. This was the mighty Su Family, after all. And just like that, they had surrendered?

All of them looked at Tang Zixin and thought: "Too powerful!"

"Third Forefather!" Su Fengtian screamed in disbelief, and the latter did not dare to even look at him as he turned away in shame.

He had been sold off just like that?

Yang Muli's heart was also in turmoil, "I won't accept it!"

Then, out of the blue, he charged at Tang Zixin.

But unfortunately, he could not even get close.

A cold snort resounded, and not long after, a giant palm came crashing down on Yang Muli and he was squashed into a bloody paste.

"Ignorant fool." Protector Xing wiped his bloodied hand with a cloth. "Is the body of the esteemed Young Master something that you can ever touch?"

The youths were all in dismay. A mighty genius of the capital who many had admired and hoped to surpass had fallen in such a pitiful manner.

"Please! Have mercy!" Su Fengtian saw that his Third Forefather had no intention to help him, so he could do nothing but beg Tang Zixin for his survival.

In less than an hour, he had fallen from the position of an undefeatable genius to begging for his life. It was a sad sight to behold.

Even his rival had been squashed to a paste in a flash.

With a cold smile, Tang Zixin said, "So you want to live?"

In the past, he had killed everything on his path to Sainthood, and he was always ruthless. There was not a single person he would spare, and he had offended far too many people.

There were enemies on every side, but he had been left with no allies.

"I will do anything, Twelve-Suns Eldest Young Master!" Su Fengtian trembled, and he had discarded all his pride in the face of absolute power.

To live, he would do anything!

"It's not like there isn't a way." Tang Zixin smiled as he took out two mysterious black pills.

"Swallow this." Flicking his sleeves, Tang Zixin tossed a pill each to both Su Fengtian and the Su Family's Third Forefather.

The Su Family still had some use to the present him.

"W-what is this?" The Su Family's Third Forefather was furious but he did not dare show it.

He, a noble and great peak Soul Formation cultivator, had been robbed of all his dignity.

While the Su Family's Third Forefather was questioning him, Su Fengtian wasted no time as he directly swallowed the black, hideous pill.

"Oh, not bad." Tang Zixin nodded. "The pill, it's nothing much. Your life now belongs to me. I will have absolute control over your every move, and your body will explode from the inside if you dare have any sinister thoughts toward me or any of my people."

Su Fengtian's heart and Daoist core shook after hearing this, but he did not think it was too awful to serve such a powerful person.

But, in reality, for proud geniuses, this could be considered a fate worse than death. Their life no longer belonged to them. From now on, they fell under the whim of another.

This was also what he had planned to give the Su Family's Third Forefather since he had chosen to leave him alive, as he would never leave possible future dangers unintended.

It had come as a surprise to him that Su Fengtian, a prideful genius, could readily accept this.

Where had all his self-esteem as a proud son of heaven gone to?

"What are you waiting for?" Protector Xing glared at the unwilling Su Family's Third Forefather. "Don't tell me that you want the Young Master to personally attend to you?"

"Alas… the Su Family's ending is deserved." The Su Family Third Forefather's old heart ached, and he, too, swallowed down the black pill.

"Don't be too unhappy." Tang Zixin smiled in the face of their sadness. "Since you are now considered to be under me, I won't mistreat you in the future."

"When I become a Saint in the future, I will naturally bring you along with me." Tang Zixin threw two golden-colored pills at Su Fengtian and the Su Family's Third Forefather.

With one glance, Su Fengtian and the Su Family's Third Forefather could discern that this golden pill was a priceless treasure, and they were both shocked.

This golden pill was even useful for a mighty peak Soul Formation expert like the Su Family's Third Forefather, not to mention a meagre Core Formation cultivator like Su Fengtian.

Perhaps, it was a blessing in disguise. Both Su Fengtian and Su Family's Third Forefather repeatedly thanked Tang Zixin.

Since this was now their fate, it was best to get on his good side. The Su Family's Third Forefather thought it over and realised the situation was not too bad.

Being under a future Saint was not bad. They would not be mistreated.

Tang Zixin laughed. This was the carrot and stick approach. Though they were forced to be loyal to him, it would be for the best if it came from the heart.

"But I can't let you off for how you treated Han Ying." Tang Zixin awoke them from their dreams.

"Of course. I was too stupid in the past, and I hope that the Young Lady will not take it to heart! Accept my most humble apologies!" Su Fengtian was indeed a quick thinker as he kowtowed to Han Ying like she was his ancestor.

Even the proud Su Family's Third Forefather who had not said much to Han Ying had still decided to apologise without considering his seniority.

"Mm." Han Ying was touched. Being by Brother Xin's side meant unparalleled glory, even the mightiest geniuses and experts had to lower their heads before her fiance.

Tang Zixin looked at her reaction and nodded. If she had been unsatisfied at all with this outcome, he would have cast them all to the hounds.
