All the patriarchs and heirs of the eight great families of Qingcheng had arrived at this place.
If they were all annihilated, then the Dragon Country would no longer have the eight great families of Qingcheng.
"Where there is life, there is hope." Under the persuasion of Tang Ye and others, Tang Shanhe immediately decided to use the lifeboats on the ship to escape with everyone.
"Where there is life, there is hope. Su Yang this time... Forget it, we, the eight great families of Qingcheng, admit defeat.
Even Shangguan Zhongtang, the military commander of one of the nine departments, can't do anything about Su Yang. We are like gods in Qingcheng, but we are nothing elsewhere.
Let this matter end here. Everyone, leave now!"
Tang Ye nodded and said, "That's right, saving our lives is the most important thing. Everyone leave first! It's the most chaotic time now, they probably won't notice us!"
Little did Tang Ye know that Su Yang, on another mountaintop, could see their situation clearly.
Seeing Tang Ye and the others preparing to leave by boat, Su Yang let out a cold snort and a light laugh, and immediately issued an order to Lu Qi.
"Lu Qi, the eight great families of Qingcheng are trying to escape. Deal with them first, leave no survivors."
Tang Ye had thoroughly angered Su Yang in Qingcheng before.
It was too late for them to run now.
Upon receiving Su Yang's order, Lu Qi immediately locked onto the location of the eight great families of Qingcheng and dispatched the most elite team to annihilate them.
Lu Qi reported to Su Yang only after personally witnessing all the members of the eight great families of Qingcheng, without a single survivor, fall into the sea with red eyes: "Boss, all resolved."
Upon hearing this, Su Yang picked up his binoculars and looked at the sea horizon. It was a expanse of red, with some things floating on it.
Su Yang smiled and said, "Advance on Shangguan Zhongtang with full force. Remember, leave survivors."
Su Yang had originally intended to kill Shangguan Zhongtang himself, as Li Yue had promised him that Su Yang could personally finish Shangguan Zhongtang.
However, Su Yang thought, if Shangguan Zhongtang were to be killed by his own son... wouldn't that be even more painful for Shangguan Zhongtang?
This was also why Su Yang had told Shangguan Qianji before that he had the opportunity to personally kill Shangguan Zhongtang.
Of course, all of this was under the condition that Shangguan Zhongtang was still alive at this moment.
Shangguan Zhongtang would naturally not die. Su Yang had already instructed everyone not to attack Shangguan Zhongtang when they saw him, and to ensure he was kept alive.
However, the armored robots did not know this, nor did they know who Shangguan Zhongtang was.
After Shangguan Zhongtang entered the cabin, the armored robots on the deck continuously struck the ship, causing damage.
Sitting in the reception room, Shangguan Zhongtang tried to calm his emotions.
He had originally thought it was a sure win...
Shangguan Zhongtang had no idea how it had come to this.
Less than twenty minutes had passed.
The situation had been turned around by Su Yang in an instant.
Shangguan Zhongtang, with trembling hands, dialed Su Yang's number.
Su Yang deliberately answered the call just as it was about to end.
"Hello? Who is this?"
Su Yang's incredibly relaxed tone on the other end made Shangguan Zhongtang feel even worse. Shangguan Zhongtang was furious.
However, at this moment, Shangguan Zhongtang was even more fearful.
The huge hulking figure outside truly instilled a fear from the depths of Shangguan Zhongtang's soul.
"Shangguan Zhongtang."
"Oh~" Su Yang drawled with a smile, deliberately trying to provoke Shangguan Zhongtang.
"Esteemed Military Commander? May I ask what business you have calling me?"
Shangguan Zhongtang knew that Su Yang was toying with him, but he had no reason to lose his temper.
"I want to see you."
"See me?" Su Yang laughed. "Do you think anyone can just see Su Yang whenever they want?"
Su Yang found it laughable. When Shi Wuzun was held hostage before, Su Yang had also wanted to meet Shangguan Zhongtang, but what had Shangguan Zhongtang done then?
Now that he was cornered, he wanted to see him?
Ridiculous. Did he think anyone could just see Su Yang whenever they wanted?
Even if he was Shangguan Zhongtang.
But Su Yang had long since stopped considering Shangguan Zhongtang as anything significant.
"You will regret it if you don't see me."
Su Yang naturally knew what Shangguan Zhongtang was implying. He smiled and said, "I, Su Yang, have never regretted anything."
It was obvious that Shangguan Zhongtang took a deep breath on the other end of the line.
Su Yang could clearly hear the sounds of the armored robots constantly causing destruction.
Su Yang thought this scene was hilarious and that Shi Wuzun would have burst into laughter if he knew what was happening.
"Aren't you afraid of your family being destroyed?" Shangguan Zhongtang asked Su Yang.
At this moment, Shangguan Qianji could not be exposed. Su Yang knew his family would be fine, but he still asked, "What do you mean?"
It would be too premature to let Shangguan Zhongtang know about Shangguan Qianji at this point.
Su Yang thought it would be better to let Shangguan Zhongtang reveal his true face when he was on the verge of death.
Hearing Su Yang's words, Shangguan Zhongtang clearly gained some confidence.
"To be frank, your family is in my hands. If you want your family to live, come and negotiate with me."
After speaking, Shangguan Zhongtang paused for a moment, then added, "Also, tell those metal boxes of yours to stop immediately."
Shangguan Zhongtang probably felt that he had Su Yang cornered, and hung up the phone after speaking.
Su Yang smiled as he looked at Shangguan Zhongtang's ship in the distance, finding it inexplicably amusing.
"Shangguan Zhongtang, Shangguan Zhongtang, as the military commander of one of the nine departments of the Dragon Country, you too have reached a point where you are being toyed with like this?"
"Boss, what do we do now?" Jiang Hei asked.
Su Yang licked his teeth, took out his walkie-talkie, and said, "Lu Qi, stop the fight. Have the armored robots return to their positions. I'm going to negotiate with Shangguan Zhongtang."
Lu Qi responded very quickly. About five minutes later, the coast, which had been filled with gunfire, became silent again.
Only after all sound had ceased did Su Yang say to Yuan Kui and Jiang Hei, "Let's go and see what this old man wants."
In fact, Su Yang knew what Shangguan Zhongtang wanted. It was nothing more than a ceasefire. At this point, if it didn't stop, Shangguan Zhongtang would truly lose his life.
However, Su Yang just wanted to see what Shangguan Zhongtang had to say.
Ten minutes later, Su Yang, Yuan Kui, and Jiang Hei boarded Shangguan Zhongtang's ship.
Lu Qi had dispatched a team to protect Su Yang, in case Shangguan Zhongtang, in his desperation, would lash out.
This was Su Yang's first meeting with Shangguan Zhongtang. In the reception room, Shangguan Zhongtang sat there with a cane, exuding an imposing aura.
As soon as Su Yang appeared, Shangguan Zhongtang's killing intent immediately surged.
Su Yang inwardly marveled, "As expected of one of the nine military commanders, he is indeed quite strong."
But compared to Su Yang... Su Yang felt he was still somewhat inferior, otherwise he wouldn't have been brought to this state by Su Yang.
"You are Su Yang?" Shangguan Zhongtang asked, looking at Su Yang.
