Afther I Take The Position As The Patriarch, All Of My Family Members Become The Fated Protagonists

Chapter 20: Blood Demon Sect? If He Doesn’t Have Eyes, I Don’t Mind Destroying Him!

City Lord’s Mansion.

City Lord Liu Chengfeng looked toward the Su family’s direction, a flicker of astonishment in his eyes.

“I could’ve sworn I just sensed a power nearly at the Heaven Origin Realm erupt from the Su family…”

“Didn’t expect it to settle down so quickly.”

“That aura… it should have been that old ghost from the Ma family, a bastard from the Blood Demon Sect. What a hassle. But the Su family… interesting.”

Liu Chengfeng leisurely poured himself a pot of tea.

“I took the job in Tianwu City just to enjoy some peace and quiet, but now look at this mess. Those old geezers in the sect insist that a Heavenly Cave is about to emerge in Tianwu City.”

“I’m from the Wangqi Sect too! If there really were a Heavenly Cave, how come I haven’t seen a damn thing?”

“And those higher-ups actually believed that guy’s nonsense? Su family, Wang family—they can fight all they want. But if they mess up things for the upper echelon…” Liu Chengfeng sneered coldly as he spoke.

…

Meanwhile, the Su family compound was plunged into deathly silence.

Then—

The sound of collective breathing gradually grew manic and feverish.

There, lying on the ground, the so-called Half-Step Heaven Origin expert, his body fractured and on the verge of death.

And the one who brought him to such a state—Su Zhou—had thrown only a single punch.

Such strength, such dominance—it was enough to drive one mad.

Everyone knew—Ma Tianlang was a Half-Step Heaven Origin expert, just a breath away from true ascension.

At that level, one could found a sect, be hailed as the patriarch.

If he joined the imperial court, he could rule a city.

Stepping into the Heaven Origin Realm meant stepping into the ranks of true powerhouses.

Yet someone of that level—Couldn’t even take a single punch from the Su family’s patriarch.

How could the Su family not be ecstatic?

How could they not go mad with excitement?

“The Patriarch’s divine might!! Long live the Patriarch!!”

“Heavens above! What realm has the Patriarch reached?!”

“Holy crap!! Hahahaha!! With such power, who in all of Tianwu City could rival our Su family?!”

Countless Su family disciples stared at Su Zhou with fervent eyes, their gazes revealing absolute conviction.

At this moment, even if Su Zhou asked them to die, not one would hesitate.

“Patriarch Su… have mercy, I beg you…”

Ma Tianlang lay sprawled on the ground, his meridians shattered, bones broken, skin laced with ruptures—

That one punch from Su Zhou had all but snuffed out his life.

Such terrifying physical strength… he had never encountered anything like it.

Now, his only thought was survival. The arrogant executioner from before was long gone.

“Patriarch Su, please spare this lowly life…”

“I’m willing to swear a blood oath on behalf of my family…”

“The Ma family will serve the Su family as slaves—from this day forth, the men shall be servants, the women maids—just please, spare me…”

Unlike Wang Hu, who died preserving his family’s legacy, Ma Tianlang now only thought of saving his own skin.

Seeing such a pitiful display, Su Zhou’s eyes brimmed with disdain.

“Buku!” he called out.

“Yes!” From the crowd, Su Buku stepped forward immediately.

“Kill him.”

Su Buku instantly understood his patriarch’s intentions.

Given his cultivation and physique, killing such a Half-Step Heaven Origin expert would bring tremendous benefits.

“Yes!” he responded, drawing the broadsword at his waist.

“Su Zhou!! My master is from the Blood Demon Sect, a seventh-grade sect! All the elders are Heaven Origin experts! Our sect master has reached Heaven Origin Great Perfection!”

“I emerged from seclusion carrying an important sect mission!”

“If you kill me, your Su family will face utter destruction!!”

Seeing his groveling fail, Ma Tianlang lashed out in a final threat.

Hearing this, Su Buku glanced hesitantly at Su Zhou.

But Su Zhou, unbothered by the threat, simply muttered:

“Noisy.”

Su Buku’s expression turned cold.

“Wa—!”

Before Ma Tianlang could finish, a flash of cold steel, a spray of blood—A head rolled to the ground.

The patriarch gives the order—he obeys without question.

That was Su Buku’s code.

As the severed head hit the earth, waves of enlightenment surged through Su Buku’s body.

His recently advanced cultivation was now on the brink of yet another breakthrough.

What none of them knew, however—

Far away, in a crimson cavern, a pitch-black soul flame flickered out.

In the darkness, a pair of blood-red, twisted eyes slowly opened.

A chilling voice echoed through the cave:

“Heh heh… Just a lowly family dares to kill a disciple of my Blood Demon Sect?”

“Tired of living, aren’t they…”

“Ma Tianlang may have been trash, but I still had use for him in Tianwu City…”

“No matter… the sect’s five blood pools are still short a few bodies.”

“Since someone’s seeking death… we’ll fill them with a city instead.”

…

“Blood Demon Sect…” Su Zhou muttered with a faint smirk.

“If they dare overstep, I don’t mind making them the Su family’s next stepping stone.”

With those words, he turned his gaze to the fervent crowd of Su family disciples.

Now, with the Ma and Wang family leaders both dead—

“Tianwu City will henceforth have only one voice!”

“Once this battle is done, there shall be rewards based on merit!”

Just as his voice fell—

[Ding! Family Mission Triggered: Unify Tianwu]

[Mission Reward: Nameless Sword Talisman, Family Artifact – Diagram of the Supreme Heavens, Family Artifact – Divine Blood Cauldron]

The system once again revealed its considerate nature.

“Yes!!!”

The Su family gates burst open.

Disciples surged out like ferocious tigers, brandishing weapons as they charged the remnants of the Ma and Wang families.

At the vanguard, a warrior carried the severed heads of both family leaders.

“Big brother… I’m heading off to oversee the battle now…” Su Chao said, heart brimming with awe as he looked at his impossibly powerful brother.

The cultivation manual Su Zhou had given him earlier—though its rank was unknown—had immediately revealed its power.

After just a single day of practice, his physical strength had increased by twenty percent and the technique felt perfectly suited to his body.

Its profundity was beyond words—Su Chao even suspected it might be a earth-rank technique of legend.

But he wasn’t stupid enough to ask where it came from.

His big brother gave it—he’d just train with it.

Su Zhou nodded, then pointed to the small figure clutched by Su Chao—Su Yang.

“Leave this little guy to me.”
