Chapter 291: Chapter 291 How Could It Be You

"This... this is impossible! How... how did you do that?" Lu Yuanming exclaimed in shock.

However, Yang Tian simply held the Demon Beast Core in his hand and calmly said, "Back when I hadn’t obtained the Mind Control Insect, this core would have forced me into a desperate struggle. But now, to me, it’s nothing more than a supplement!"

The Mind Control Insect, the supreme treasure of Cultivators!

Ever since Yang Tian acquired this treasure from visitors from the Miao Region, he could completely ignore the Heart Demon’s all-consuming nature.

A mere Demon Beast Core—what else could it be but a supplement?

A supplement?

Lu Yuanming hadn’t fully understood before he witnessed a black vortex appear in Yang Tian’s hand. The core, which had been on the verge of self-detonation, was instantly consumed entirely by the vortex.

The Thunder Dragon that was previously obstructed by the Demon Beast Core now, under Yang Tian’s cold gaze, dove downward like a lightning storm, enveloping Lu Yuanming entirely.

BOOM!

A deafening explosion echoed, accompanied by the blinding dispersal of lightning.

Those closer to the Su Family Mansion were blinded by the intense white light from the lightning.

Meanwhile, the Su Family members were all knocked to the ground by the violent impact of the lightning storm.

Who knows how much time passed?

When everyone finally recovered, the first thing they did was to look toward the central focal point of the Su Family’s front courtyard.

Grandmaster Su directly stood up, palms sweating.

This was the moment where victory and defeat would be decided!

"Grandmaster Su, don’t worry!"

Wang Hua, noticing Grandmaster Su’s anxiety, smiled calmly and reassured, "The moment Master Lu displayed the Demon Beast Core, the result of this battle was determined. There’s no need to fret!"

"Haha, Brother Wang is indeed correct! Master Lu’s godlike prowess has been witnessed by all, and the Demon Beast Core shines with unparalleled brilliance. No one can challenge it!"

"As strong as Yang Tian may be, even he has his limits. The explosive force of the Demon Beast Core is hundreds, even thousands of times stronger than its original level. How could Yang Tian possibly withstand such power?"

"We need only wait for Master Lu to return, and then we can celebrate!"

The senior figures of the Su Family wore expressions of joy as they shared their thoughts.

Su Mi even glanced coldly toward the direction of the dispersing lightning and disdainfully averted her gaze. To her, this was the ultimate reward for Yang Tian, that arrogant and ignorant boy—a final moment of attention.

But just as Su Mi was about to withdraw her gaze, a sudden twitch in the corner of her eye disrupted her composure.

Grandmaster Su’s smile froze on his face, and suddenly he seemed to lose all strength, slumping onto his Taishi Chair.

Because at this moment, a shadow slowly emerged from the dispersing lightning storm.

Black robes, black hair, a stern face, and an unwavering expression of calm—it was none other than Yang Tian.

In this instant, the previously jubilant Su Family fell into a deathly silence.

"Wh-what? How could it be you?"

Everyone present was utterly shocked to see Yang Tian appear.

Not to mention that Lu Yuanming, the most revered master of magic, was considered invincible in their eyes.

Moreover, wasn’t it just moments ago that Lu Yuanming detonated an Innate-Level Demon Beast Core?

And hadn’t Wang Hua, Lu Yuanming’s proud disciple, confidently declared that the outcome of the battle was decided once Lu Yuanming took out the Demon Beast Core?

Logically speaking, the one emerging from the lightning should have been Lu Yuanming, not Yang Tian!

With this realization, everyone turned their gaze toward the previously confident Wang Hua. They saw his face frozen in disbelief, then contorted into one of rage as he stepped forward, shouting: "Yang Tian! What did you do to my master?"

"What did I do?"

Yang Tian casually waved his hand.

The radiant lightning storm dissipated entirely, yet no one was there. All that remained was a pile of ash vaguely shaped like a human figure.

Lu Yuanming was dead?

And he was reduced to nothing but ash?

Upon seeing this, Wang Hua was consumed with grief and rage. His face twisted with hostility as he furiously waved his hands, summoning a turbulent wind.

Evidently, Wang Hua had activated his magic and intended to strike back at Yang Tian.

However, Yang Tian’s eyes suddenly emitted a flash of black light as he glanced at Wang Hua.

At once, Wang Hua felt as though he had lost control over his body. He then saw a black Demon Flame rise from his feet and engulf him entirely, sending him to follow his master’s fate.

Who was Yang Tian?

A Golden Core Stage Cultivator!

Anyone daring to oppose him would pay a devastating price!

This fate befell Lu Yuanming, and now Wang Hua too!

While none of the spectators witnessed Lu Yuanming’s exact demise, they watched as Wang Hua was reduced to ashes from nothing more than Yang Tian’s gaze. This left the crowd gasping audibly, their bodies trembling in fear, unable to utter a word.

Such overwhelming power. Such tyrannical dominance.

Who would dare to speak against him? Who would risk becoming the third victim of such a fate?

In an instant, wherever Yang Tian’s gaze swept, all present instinctively lowered their heads, none daring to meet his eyes.

Yang Tian’s eyes surveyed the faces of everyone assembled before finally settling on the despondent Grandmaster Su.

Looking at Yang Tian’s gaze, Grandmaster Su felt a wave of bitterness in his heart.

With his ninety years of experience, he had devised such an intricate trap to ensure Yang Tian’s demise.

Yet, the linchpin of this plan, Lu Yuanming, was so brutally eradicated by Yang Tian that Grandmaster Su could hardly accept reality.

Nevertheless, as the respected head of the Su Family and a sagacious elder of great renown, he quickly sighed and stood up slowly. With a solemn expression, he cupped his hands toward Yang Tian and declared: "Mr. Yang, your divine might is unparalleled. This old man is deeply awed! The Su Family is willing to pledge its allegiance to you!"

Upon hearing this, the Su Family’s senior members, including Su Mi and Su Heng, turned pale.

A century of Su Family dominance, a thousand years of prestige!

Today, all diminished because of this battle?

From this day forward, must the Su Family become a mere vassal?

Several senior Su Family members stepped forward and tugged at Grandmaster Su’s sleeve, hoping he’d stall Yang Tian and reconsider.

But Grandmaster Su ignored them.

Had circumstances allowed, with his temperament and pride, how could he ever let the Su Family bow to another?

But from the day he clashed with Yang Tian, Grandmaster Su realized one unassailable truth.

Yang Tian was a man of his word, decisive and unwavering—never one to be trifled with lightly!

A man like this, if not annihilated in one absolute strike, left only one path: submission. Otherwise, annihilation awaited the Su Family!

So, despite his unwillingness and reluctance, Grandmaster Su decided in that moment to capitulate!

Moreover, he harbored another thought deep down: Yang Tian was but a single person, while the Su Family operated an expansive enterprise.

Though the Su Family might outwardly pledge allegiance to Yang Tian, how could he alone manage such massive affairs?

After all, business dealt with more complexities than martial affairs—it wasn’t something solvable by brute force alone.

In time, maintaining the stability of these operations would still rely on the expertise of the Su Family. Hence, while submission might seem total, it would ultimately lead to mere cooperation.

If anything, with a formidable figure like Yang Tian, capable of slaying Lu Yuanming, standing behind them, the Su Family could further profit and advance!

And if Yang Tian were to have descendants someday, the Su Family could even form matrimonial ties with him, eventually merging into one family.
