Chapter 122: I, Su Yu, Take Charge of the Family Today!

"The affairs of the Sun Moon Empire will be left to you. As a clone that carries half my strength and all my memories, you must at least make a name for me, Luo Yu. I certainly don't want to just lose this identity as a Reserve Team member like this."

Looking at the clone before him, Su Yu couldn't help but smile with pride.

"That's true. Although I am not you, to a certain extent, you are me..."

Gazing at this familiar Mingdu, Su had already lived here for over a year and was incomparably familiar with everything here, but now was not yet the time to flex his muscles.

After settling all matters, Su Yu restored his original appearance and arrived at a chamber of commerce in Mingdu. Inside the chamber, Su Yu saw a familiar figure: Elder Chen.

"The Master said that the situation over at Shrek has begun to become critical, and the Young Master must return." After finishing his sentence, Elder Chen vanished into the darkness. However, Su Yu could now easily see through Elder Chen's tracks, yet the aura on Elder Chen's body remained unfathomable; this was clearly not something an ordinary Soul Saint could possess.

Sure enough, the background of the Su Family was indeed not simple. Otherwise, how could they have relied on their original accumulation of resources to build a massive industrial chain attached to the Three Great Empires?

Elder Chen appearing here proved that Su Xinyuan was definitely under pressure. If he didn't return now, he feared his old man would come to bind him back in person.

"These are the design blueprints I have left behind over the past six months. I am handing them over to you. Remember my words: no matter how the Wanjing Sect develops now, apart from the initial personnel who can be trusted, everyone else must undergo comprehensive assessments before they can enter your laboratories and be qualified to consult these Soul Guidance Design Blueprints."

After saying these words, Su Yu slowly unfolded the Soul Guidance Double Wings on his back and, led by Elder Chen, arrived at the Su Family's extraction point.

"Dong'er, wait for me to return..."

…………

Three days later, Su Yu was under the escort of Elder Chen in the Star Luo Imperial Capital. When Su Yu returned to the family's council hall, the people inside were already arguing in a chaotic mess.

The vast majority of them were supporting the removal of Su Yu's authority and the stripping of the wealth possessed by Su Xinyuan, on the grounds that Su Xinyuan's actions had caused them to suffer huge losses in the Black Market, and also because Su Yu's risky actions had caused the family to bear huge risks.

Yet, they did not mention a word about Su Yu giving one hundred million Gold Soul Coins to Su Xinyuan, and Su Xinyuan using all one hundred million Gold Soul Coins for the development of the family.

Why were they denouncing Su Xinyuan? The reason was simple: because of profit. Su Yu still had one hundred and fifty million Gold Soul Coins on him!

The moment Su Yu walked into the hall, everyone's gaze gathered on him. The current Su Yu was no longer the little guy who had no qualifications to step into the family council hall back then.

When Su Yu unleashed his strength as a level 45 Soul Ancestor, some of the Soul Emperor guards present felt a hint of pressure.

With the appearance of Elder Chen, the people present who had been harboring ulterior motives instantly put away their thoughts, with only Su Xinyuan, sitting in the high seat, looking at this scene indifferently.

"Su Yu, you little brat have no qualifications to step into the council hall. Who permitted you to enter? Get out of here!"

The one speaking was the family's Great Elder, Su Yuanming. His strength was only that of a Soul Ancestor, but because of his transcendent status and the fact that he was only in his forties, there was still room for improvement in the future; at the very least, his upper limit should be able to reach Soul Emperor.

As for the rest of the people, the strongest among them was only a Soul King, and among the numerous guards, the strongest only reached Soul Emperor.

Compared to the era of Dou III where Soul Kings were as common as dogs and Soul Emperors walked everywhere, there was still quite a gap.

Looking at the Great Elder Su Mingyuan who was still cursing at him, Su Yu did not pay too much attention to it. He simply stepped forward and bowed to Su Xinyuan; after all, in a formal setting, one still had to pay attention to etiquette. "Child greets Father."

"Hahaha, you've returned. Come, sit by my side." Watching Su Yu's arrival, Su Xinyuan did not care about the gazes of the others at all, nodding at Su Yu and waving his hand.

Su Yu also nodded, then sat down next to the high seat. Clearly, this council hall was already full of people, and there were no extra seats left; even if there were, they wouldn't be reserved for him.

In fact, the older generation of the Su Family had long since stopped managing affairs. The current Great Elder was, in terms of seniority, Su Xinyuan's older brother, but the Great Elder was not of the pure direct line. Moreover, in this family of power struggles, unless it was like the White Tiger Duke, there was fundamentally no family affection to speak of between the two.

"Since everyone is gathered, we should properly discuss the family's major affairs. Elder Chen, close the door!"

Su Xinyuan slowly stood up from his seat and stretched his body. At this moment, Su Yu actually sensed that Su Xinyuan's aura was constantly strengthening!

Holy crap, don't tell me my own father is also a powerhouse!

At that moment, when Elder Chen closed the door and vanished into the darkness once again, everyone looked in terror at the glowing Su Xinyuan.

"Actually, a long time ago I warned you guys, but you insisted that I take action myself to properly clean things up. Since everyone is gathered today, let's settle the new and old accounts together!"

Two yellow, two purple, three black!

Holy crap, a Seven-ring Soul Saint, he's actually a master!

I was careless, I believed his nonsense. All these years, how could he have been unable to beat my mother? A seven-ring Soul Emperor being dragged by his hair and beaten from the living room to downstairs by a five-ring Soul King...

Watching those seven Soul Rings slowly rise, not only did Su Mingyuan's face turn pale, but even an elderly Elder who had yet to step down shouted in terror: "Su Xinyuan, as the Family Head, do you intend to violate family rules and harm your own kin?"

"Hmph, are you guys even worthy of me taking action? Shut your mouths for me! As the Family Head, I possess the power of life and death over the family, not to mention punishing you traitors who eat inside and out and betray the family!"

A white phantom slowly emerged behind Su Xinyuan. Looking at that Martial Soul Avatar which looked like a gate of light, Su Yu thought of his own martial soul: Mirror.

Su Xinyuan was incomparably serious this time, having long lost his usual frivolous, idle appearance.

"Old fogies, it's time to quiet down."

This scene truly felt like a family clearing out a tumor. Su Yu just wanted to return to Shrek; who knew Su Xinyuan would dig a pit for him.

In fact, according to Elder Chen's account, whether it was those old fogies or the current state of the family, everything was under Su Xinyuan's control. But the funny thing was, these guys still thought it was some old guy behind Su Xinyuan backing him up that allowed him to control the family.

"Great Elder, it's time to settle your affairs in the Dou Ling Empire!"

Su Yu knew that if he didn't say something now, Su Xinyuan would definitely despise him after they returned.

Su Mingyuan looked at Su Yu holding the Sword Command, his eyes filled with even more astonishment. "You little, little, brat, how could you possibly have the family's Sword Command? You, you, you..."

"From now on, I call the shots here. In the Heaven Soul Empire, you obstructed my rebuilding of the Tang Sect in every possible way, and furthermore, the twenty million Gold Soul Coins I handed over to the family for commercial operations in the Dou Ling Empire all disappeared in your hands. Did you think I didn't know?"

Looking at the Su Mingyuan before him, Su Yu knew their leverage all too well. Mainly, for anyone within the family, Su Xinyuan could obtain all their intelligence, and could even clearly investigate a few illegitimate children.

"Now, as the next Family Head, I announce the abolition of Su Mingyuan's soul power and the dismissal of his position as Great Elder!"

Su Yu put away the Sword Command in his hand and spoke slowly.

"I don't accept this! A little beast like you dares to dream of abolishing my soul power? I want to see what ability you have to abolish my soul power. Without Su Xinyuan, you are just a three-ring Soul Elder. A Soul Elder daring to dream of abolishing this Soul Emperor, you are simply delusional!"

Su Mingyuan was so angry his beard was twitching, while Su Xinyuan looked at Su Yu with a hint of mockery. Su Yu shook his head slightly, walked slowly toward Su Mingyuan, and said: "Since you don't believe I can abolish your soul power, then feel free to try. Elder Chen, clear an empty space for me."

When Su Yu stood in the empty space, the Su Mingyuan opposite him clearly did not take Su Yu to heart, his face still wearing the disdain of an elder teaching a junior.

But as Su Yu's Soul Rings gradually lit up, Su Mingyuan's face also became incomparably ugly: two yellow, one purple, one black!

Su Yu's fourth Soul Ring was actually black!

This meant that Su Yu had the strength to hunt a ten-thousand-year Soul Beast at the four-ring stage, which meant Su Yu's strength was definitely more than just four rings!

"Forgot to tell you one thing: not only am I a four-ring Soul Ancestor, but I am also a quasi-level-five Soul Engineer."

Although Su Yu's performance made him disdainful, he immediately raised his spirits to the highest level in his heart.

Before Su Mingyuan could unleash a soul skill, Su Yu had already turned into a flash of light and disappeared from Su Mingyuan's field of vision.

At that moment, when Su Mingyuan's Mirror martial soul detected Su Yu's tracks through a soul skill, Su Yu activated his Mysterious Jade Hand, turning his palm into a fist, and struck Su Mingyuan's back with one blow.

But Su Mingyuan's movements were also fast; he instantly used a level-five defensive Soul Guidance Device and a Protective Barrier. Under such dual protection, Su Yu's punch was instantly blocked.

Although this punch did not cause the slightest bit of damage, it brought a great psychological shadow to everyone present: the Seven-Ring Soul Emperor Su Xinyuan, and the freak Su Yu whose fourth ring was already ten thousand years old...

This family is destined to become the unshakable masters within the Su Family!

Bang!

Just at the moment when everyone's thoughts were drifting, the Defensive Soul Guidance Device and Soul Guidance Shield on Great Elder Su Mingyuan shattered simultaneously.

Amidst the terrified gazes of the crowd, Great Elder Su Mingyuan was knocked directly into a pillar, spat out a mouthful of blood, and fell into a coma.

Under the watchful eyes of all, Su Yu also naturally confiscated his Storage Soul Guidance Device; Su Yu did not believe that, as a Great Elder, there could be no good things inside his Storage Soul Guidance Device.

As expected of my son, a Four-Ring Soul Ancestor knocking over a level 56 Soul King with one punch; it seems that although sending you to Mingde Hall to study carried some risks, it looks quite worthwhile now.

If these guys knew that Su Yu had the strength to defeat the uncrowned king among the six-ringers, Ji Juechen, a year ago, I wonder what they would think...

"Second Elder Su Yuanming, over these years, don't you feel that you have been getting too close to the Star Luo Imperial Family?" After dealing with the ringleader who caused the trouble, Su Mingyuan, it was of course time to deal with the culprit, Su Yuanming.

Su Yuanming, an elder from the previous generation who had not yet retired, a level 68 Strong Attack System Battle Soul Emperor, martial soul Ice Crystal.

After hearing Su Yu's words, Su Yuanming also knew that Su Yu intended to use him to establish authority: "Everything this old man has done was for the future of the Su Family. If it weren't for this old man, the Su Family would have long been destroyed in the hands of you father and son. You brat, how dare you question this old man's decisions! You have a lot of nerve!"

"Is it by handing over many of the Star Luo Imperial Capital's industries to the Imperial Family just to seek a small title for your useless descendants? Or by dispatching a large amount of resources to the Star Luo National Academy in the name of donations, while in reality, most of it was used on your own grandsons? Or by telling the Star Luo Imperial Family all of our Su Family's intelligence!"

Su Yu stated word by word the several more serious matters that Su Yuanming had committed; as for other matters, they did not count as matters within the Su Family.

"So what, what if it was done by this old man? This old man was also doing it for the family. If this old man hadn't chosen to defect to the Star Luo Imperial Family, once the Su Family encountered an accident in your hands, the Su Family would surely be destroyed in one fell swoop! What, do you want to finish off this old man as well?"

Looking at Su Yu walking over step by step, Su Yuanming asked in questioning.

Looking at the self-righteous Su Yuanming before him, Su Yu spoke with disdain: "You guessed right. Although my father cannot deal with you because of clan rules, don't forget, I can!"

"Since that is the case, today this old man will properly teach you, this ignorant brat, a lesson on behalf of Su Xinyuan!" Su Yuanming laughed up at the sky; the gap between a Soul Emperor and a Soul Ancestor is not something that can be made up for by natural talent.

In this spacious conference hall, Su Yu was not affected in the slightest by Su Yuanming's six-ring Soul Emperor aura.

Under the traction of their energy, both of them attacked simultaneously; as their eyes met, at this moment, Su Yuanming actually felt a trace of fear.

An invisible pressure spread throughout the entire conference hall, and some people with insufficient strength had already begun to be unable to bear it.

An Ice Crystal Mirror Platform rose, and six soul rings appeared behind him: two yellow, two purple, two black.

The six soul rings radiated an invisible pressure, enveloping the entire conference hall, but Su Yu, standing not far in front of him, was completely unaffected.

"Isn't Su Xinyuan's son a Four-Ring Soul Ancestor? Impossible, how could a fourteen-year-old child break through to the fourth ring? He must have used a Soul Guidance Device!"
