Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 326: Chapter 325 Gwu Jihan

Eight-Faced Yama was not very excited; on the contrary, his expression seemed somewhat panicked.

Ye Jiansheng, that was a figure Eight-Faced Yama wouldn’t even dare to provoke in his dreams. And now, suddenly, a Divine Sovereign emerged, intending to kill Ye Jiansheng—could Eight-Faced Yama believe it?

Mo Qianli said coldly, ”Eight-Faced Yama, the Divine Sovereign is speaking to you. Aren’t you going to hurry up and thank the Divine Sovereign for his generous gift?”

Eight-Faced Yama hesitated, then the Divine Sovereign sneered, ”Eight-Faced Yama, are you afraid that I won’t be able to kill the Sword Saint, and that you will get dragged down as a result?”

Eight-Faced Yama bowed his head in silence, but his meaning was already quite clear.

”Hahaha...” the Divine Sovereign laughed heartily, saying coldly, ”Do you know who I am?”

Eight-Faced Yama shook his head and said in a low voice, ”I have yet to ask for the Divine Sovereign’s esteemed name!”

”My name, you should have heard of it,” said the Divine Sovereign loudly, ”My name is Gwu Jihan!”

”Gwu...” Eight-Faced Yama’s eyes suddenly widened in disbelief, staring at the Divine Sovereign, ”You... you are Gwu Jihan?”

”How dare you address the Divine Sovereign by his name so brazenly!” shouted Mo Qianli angrily.

”No matter!” The Divine Sovereign waved his hand casually, and sneered, ”Unexpected, isn’t it? The Gwu Jihan who was defeated by Ye Jiansheng decades ago and went mad for many years—is now in this form?”

”Gwu... oh no, Divine Sovereign, you... what is this...” Eight-Faced Yama looked incredibly shocked, he had heard of the grudge between Ye Jiansheng and Gwu Jihan.

When Gwu Jihan was fifty years old, he was defeated by the then fifteen-year-old Ye Jiansheng, and afterwards went mad, burning all of the Gwu Family’s secret manuals, leading to the family’s decline. There were even rumors that, to prevent Gwu Jihan from committing more outrageous acts, the family had locked him in their dungeon. By now, it had already been thirty years.

Ye Jiansheng was now forty-five years old, so Gwu Jihan should be eighty by now. However, the person before him appeared to be in his twenties or thirties—at certainly not like an eighty-year-old man.

”Thirty years ago, after that battle, everyone thought I, Gwu Jihan, had no hope left in this life,” Gwu Jihan sneered, ”Even my own family locked me away in the dungeon’s depths, to be forever deprived of sunlight.”

”Heh heh, it’s a pity, people only know part of the story, not the whole. Although I lost that battle thirty years ago, it helped me to find the flaws in my family’s martial arts. Thirty years—thirty whole years, I’ve been in seclusion within the dungeon and have finally mastered all the familial martial arts. I’ve advanced further in my cultivation, stepping into the Spirit Tranquility Realm, which is the legendary Land Fairy Realm.”

”In these thirty years, I did not merely cultivate; I also studied Ye Jiansheng’s swordsmanship. Now that I have left my seclusion, I am absolutely confident that I can slay Ye Jiansheng and avenge my past humiliation!”

Eight-Faced Yama listened with a face full of shock. Gwu Jihan sure was persistent.

”However, Ye Jiansheng is now also in the Earthly Immortal Realm, and moreover, he has entered the Heavenly List...” Eight-Faced Yama said softly, ”Ranked seventh on the Heavenly List, Divine Sovereign, you must be cautious of him!”

”Heavenly List seventh? Hmph!” Gwu Jihan sneered, ”Thirteen days ago, outside of Beimang Mountain, I killed Chaos Knife, who was ranked ninth on the Black List. Does that make me the ninth on the Black List now?”

”Of course that counts!” Eight-Faced Yama immediately nodded, but his face still showed unease.

”I know what you’re thinking...” Gwu Jihan sneered, ”On my own, of course, I wouldn’t dare to make such a bold claim. However, I also have an assistant, the Assassination Star, ranked tenth on the secret list!”

”Assassination Star!?” Eight-Faced Yama’s complexion changed drastically, and he trembled, ”Isn’t that the founder of the Killing Star Legion? He’s going to take action as well?”

”The ninth on the Black List, plus the tenth on the Dark List, can they kill the seventh on the Heavenly List?” Gwu Jihan sneered.

”Of course!” The Eight-Faced Yama immediately nodded, excitedly saying, ”Divine Sovereign, what do you want me to do?”

”It’s simple!” Gwu Jihan said coldly, ”I want you to take control of the Dragon Head Meeting in May and also to kidnap Ye Wantong. In this battle, I want Ye Jiansheng to be distracted and die with his eyes open!”

”Kidnapping Ye Wantong is easy, as long as Sword Saint is not by her side, it’s all simple,” the Eight-Faced Yama said. ”However, taking control of this Dragon Head Meeting in May might not be so simple, considering Pingbei Province will also be involved...”

”Don’t worry, I will send someone to help you!” Gwu Jihan said, ”Come out!”

From the darkness, a man stepped out slowly. His face was stern, his body radiating a murderous aura.

”It’s you!” The Eight-Faced Yama’s eyes widened in surprise, ”Ren Beishan!”

The man was none other than Ren Beishan, the Family Head of the Ren Family, one of the Five Great Martial Arts Families of Pingnan Province.

Ren Beishan’s expression was cold as he said indifferently, ”Surnamed Yan, I will help you with the Dragon Head Meeting in May. But, you must arrange a fight for me with Su Yang, I want to kill him with my own hands!”

Ren Beishan’s son had been crippled by Su Yang, and Ren Beishan had been longing for revenge ever since. However, Su Yang’s recent consecutive actions had deterred him from making a move, and the grudge had been festering within him.

Now with an opportunity at hand, he certainly wouldn’t miss it; he was determined to kill Su Yang himself!

”No problem!” The Eight-Faced Yama laughed heartily, ”With Ghost Grandpa and Family Head Ren taking action to help, no one will be able to stop us at the Dragon Head Meeting this May!”

...

Nanluo City.

In this period, Su Yang hadn’t been involved in other activities and spent most of his time at the school.

His Destiny Martial Arts was now overcrowded. After Wang Hao won the championship, he made the Destiny Martial Arts the hottest school in the whole Nanluo City. Even people outside the school were trying all means to get in.

The teaching of Destiny Martial Arts was not personally overseen by Su Yang. He taught Wang Hao a set of cultivation methods and then tasked Wang Hao as the head coach to instruct others.

Later, Hu Xiexie somehow found her way to Destiny Martial Arts. After sparring with Wang Hao and beating him up, she forcefully took over as the head coach, becoming the new head coach of Destiny Martial Arts, personally teaching others how to practice martial arts.

As a result, Destiny Martial Arts became even more appealing, and even more people came to enroll.

Even though Destiny Martial Arts was no longer accepting disciples, every day when Hu Xiexie taught her classes, hundreds of people would stand outside to watch, almost ready to hold up signs and become her fans.

Hu Xiexie thoroughly enjoyed this lifestyle—she always dreamed of being a heroic woman. Seizing this opportunity, she indulged herself to her heart’s content.

Moreover, since Su Yang was at Destiny Martial Arts every day, she became even more frequent in her visits. After each class, she would stick to her apprentice, wandering here and there, leaving Su Yang speechless.

One day, like usual, Su Yang arrived at the school. Just as he entered, he saw from afar Ling Zi standing near the school gate, waiting.
