Checking in for 100,000 Years-Chapter 591: Failed Coup

"Haha, as expected from the Nine Turn Dragon Saliva Fragrance. After inhaling even a hint of it, my elder brother, a powerhouse at the First Level of the Life and Death Realm, has lost all his combat power!" Su Water laughed loudly, clapping his hands excitedly. A triumphant expression appeared on his face. Yes, from today onwards, the Su family will be under a new leader. The Su family is about to undergo a monumental change. At this moment, the Clan Leader of the Su family is him, Su Water.

"Congratulations, Clan Leader Su!" the middle-aged man said, clasping his fists very politely.

"We’re all on the same side here, no need for such formality!" Su Water responded with a modest smile. After all, this smooth usurpation of power was entirely attributable to the other’s Nine Turn Dragon Saliva Fragrance.

Seeing this unfold, Su Mountain’s face twisted, his heart throbbing with excruciating pain. He never expected his younger brother to collude with the Zhao Family to usurp his position as Clan Leader.

"Su Water, how can you justify this to the ancestors of the Su family?" Su Mountain asked, giving a bitter laugh and raising his voice.

"Big Brother, how am I letting down the Su family’s ancestors?" Su Water’s eyebrows lifted as he responded confidently. "I also bear the surname Su and am a descendant of the Su family. If I become the Clan Leader, the ancestors will surely have no objections!"

"Good! Good!" Su Mountain was choked with anger, unable to speak. His chest felt heavy with turmoil, and a sweet taste rose in his throat as he violently spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Dad!" Su Jinx cried, rushing to support the teetering Su Mountain.

"You are from the Demon Clan; I won’t make things difficult for you. Go back where you came from and don’t meddle in the Su family’s affairs!" Su Water said, turning around and gazing seriously at Ye Yun. After all, he didn’t want any conflict with the Demon Clan. The effects of the Nine Turn Dragon Saliva Fragrance would wear off after two hours, and one’s Mana would gradually recover. So, if he just drove this young man from the Demon Clan away, the youth would surely know to retreat when faced with difficulties.

"I have already promised Su Jinx I would help the Su family overcome this crisis...," Ye Yun replied nonchalantly.

"You have also been affected by the Nine Turn Dragon Saliva Fragrance; you’re no match for us now!" Su Water retorted loudly. "There’s a peace treaty between the Human Race and Demon Clan. I advise you not to push your luck!"

"Mere Nine Turn Dragon Saliva Fragrance? How could it possibly take me down?" Ye Yun sneered, his expression suddenly changing.

BOOM!

Without warning, he flicked a finger. A beam of light shot out, and the small vial held by the middle-aged man instantly shattered. A large amount of Nine Turn Dragon Saliva Fragrance billowed out, instantly pervading the entire room.

Meanwhile, a faint purple light flickered and vanished within Ye Yun’s eyes.

"Huh! Where did my Mana go?" The middle-aged man from the Zhao Family was the first to react, staring in shock at Ye Yun, his eyes nearly bulging out. He had clearly taken the antidote, yet after inhaling the Nine Turn Dragon Saliva Fragrance, he had bizarrely lost control of his Mana. How could he not be horrified? He couldn’t even control his own Nine Turn Dragon Saliva Fragrance. Now that he had become utterly powerless, a mere cripple, wasn’t he simply waiting to be slaughtered?

My Mana is also gone... Su Water, too, was shocked to discover the drastic change in his body. When he looked at Ye Yun again, his eyes betrayed his terror. Where on earth did this Demon Clan youth come from? Why wasn’t he affected by the Nine Turn Dragon Saliva Fragrance at all? Instead, with a flick of his hand, he used the Nine Turn Dragon Saliva Fragrance to incapacitate both me and that middle-aged man from the Zhao Family!

WHOOSH!

Ye Yun reached out his hand. All the Nine Turn Dragon Saliva Fragrance that had filled the room gathered into his palm, coalescing into a small white ball. Ye Yun took out a small porcelain vial and placed the ball inside.

"Su Jinx, this is for you. It might come in handy later," Ye Yun said, casually tossing the small porcelain vial towards Su Jinx.

Su Jinx quickly caught the small porcelain vial, her face alight with a delighted expression. "Big Brother, my Mana has returned! Did you help me purge the poison of the Nine Turn Dragon Saliva Fragrance?"

Ye Yun nodded with a smile.

"Thank you, Young Master!" Su Mountain, now recovered, immediately clasped his fists and thanked Ye Yun sincerely.

"No need for thanks. I will take care of this matter for the Su family!" Ye Yun replied with a smile. Though his voice was soft, it carried an undeniable sense of power.

"..." Su Mountain was so excited he was at a loss for what to do, his face flushed crimson. He never imagined that a friend his daughter made on her trip out would be able to help their Su family overcome such a monumental crisis. This young master, though from the Demon Clan, is handsome and incredibly powerful. Could he be smitten with my daughter? If that’s the case, I must do everything I can to matchmake them...

Once this thought took root, the way Su Mountain looked at Ye Yun changed. It was as if Ye Yun had already become his Su family’s son-in-law; the more he looked, the more he liked him.

If Ye Yun knew what Su Mountain was thinking, he would probably cough up a mouthful of old blood.

"Chief Su, you can handle these two yourself?" Ye Yun asked with a smile.

"Alright!" Su Mountain agreed and strode over to Su Water.

"Big Brother, don’t blame me...," Su Water said in shame, his head lowered.

"Second Brother, you have truly disappointed me!" Su Mountain sighed. He raised his hand, paused for a moment, then lowered it again. He sealed Su Water’s cultivation base but did not kill him. "In this branch of the Su family, it’s just us two brothers. If I were to kill you, I would be left without a younger brother forever..." Su Mountain said, tears welling in his eyes.

"Big Brother! I know I was wrong! I’m willing to accept any punishment!" Su Water’s conscience suddenly stirred, and he broke down, tears streaming down his face.

"Guards! Take Su Water to the dungeons for now! Await further orders!" Su Mountain shouted to those outside, wiping his tears. Immediately, two young men entered and escorted Su Water away.

Ye Yun watched this scene, quite impressed by Su Mountain’s magnanimity.

At this point, Su Mountain walked up to the middle-aged man from the Zhao Family, his face grim and expressionless. If he killed this man, it would mean an unending feud with the Zhao Family.

"Chief Su, the Zhao Family is not worth worrying about...," Ye Yun said with a smile. Empathizing, he could understand Su Mountain’s current apprehension. After all, he had not yet revealed his true strength to Su Mountain.

"Alright!" Su Mountain, drawing courage from an unknown source, made his decision and abruptly raised his palm.

"Su Mountain! If you dare to kill me, the Zhao Family will exterminate your entire Su Family!" the middle-aged man shrieked in terror.

BANG!

With a single palm strike, the middle-aged man exploded into a mist of blood. Su Mountain had killed him.

Gazing at the blood mist settling in the air, Su Mountain swallowed hard, his breathing becoming ragged.

"Chief Su, rest assured. As long as I’m here, the Zhao Family won’t be able to stir up any trouble!" Ye Yun said with a faint smile, seeing Su Mountain gasping for breath, thus reassuring him.

"Father, the Zhao family has good relations with the Water Dragon Sect, and the Water Dragon Sect is a Supreme Sect...," Su Jinx said with concern from the side. She could also tell that this Big Brother from the Demon Clan, Ye Yun, was indeed very powerful and could undoubtedly handle the Zhao Family. But behind the Zhao Family stood the Water Dragon Sect, a Supreme Sect. Could this white-robed Big Brother handle them?

"No need to worry, our Demon Clan is not weak either...," Ye Yun said casually. He deliberately emphasized the words "Demon Clan." After all, on the entire Cangnan Continent, the stronger the Human cultivators, the more they dreaded the power of the Demon Clan. He had emphasized these words, naturally, to reassure Su Mountain and Su Jinx. As for his real identity, Ye Yun had no intention of revealing it. Too much time had passed. A whole hundred thousand years. He didn’t even know how many generations of Su Qi’s descendants these people were. Ye Yun, as their old ancestor, saw no need to reveal his true identity.

"Clan Leader, this is terrible! The Zhao Family has dispatched a large contingent and has already occupied our Spirit Stone Mine!" a man in black, covered in blood, rushed in abruptly. He fell to his knees before Su Mountain and reported urgently.
