Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 740: Chapter 739: We’ll Wait for You in the Earthly Immortal Realm

In the end, Su Yang and his companions left Lake Heart Island with an air of confidence, and not a single member of the Qi Family dared to utter a word.

As they were leaving the island, the Third Ancestor suddenly said in a sinister tone, ”Master Su, you had better advance to the Earthly Immortal Realm soon. Don’t make us wait too long!”

Su Yang, of course, understood what the Third Ancestor meant. He hadn’t entered the Land Fairy Realm yet, so the Qi Family’s Earth Immortals couldn’t make a move against him.

Once Su Yang ascended to the Earthly Immortal Realm, however, the Qi Family’s Earth Immortals wouldn’t need to follow any rules, and they would be free to target Su Yang for killing.

To put it plainly, the Qi Family now had no hope of taking their revenge and were just waiting for Su Yang to enter the Earthly Immortal Realm before they could make their move and slay him.

After all, these members of the Qi Family had been in the Earthly Immortal Realm for a long time. Even though Su Yang was very powerful now, once he entered the Earthly Immortal Realm, the gap between him and these seasoned Immortals would be vast. At that time, killing Su Yang would be much easier for them.

Sword Saint Ye, who had heard the Third Ancestor’s words, did not intervene. His attitude was clear: as long as the Qi Family abided by the rules of the Earth Immortals, he wouldn’t say a word. He even seemed indifferent to Su Yang’s life or death, as what mattered to him were the rules of the Immortals.

Honestly, Su Yang was baffled as to what Sword Saint Ye really meant.

Su Yang had encountered Earth Immortals several times, and each time, Sword Saint Ye had quickly arrived on the scene.

The first time was in Nanluo City, where a battle among Earth Immortals erupted near his residence, and Sword Saint Ye arrived.

The second time was in Pingbei Province, where Su Yang fought against the Top Ten Families of Pingbei Province. Lian Wanxiong and Huo Zizhen appeared, and Sword Saint Ye arrived.

The third time was here on Lake Heart Island, where five of the Qi Family’s Earth Immortals appeared. Sword Saint Ye even arrived alongside Lian Wanxiong and went so far as to help Su Yang.

What was his end game? Why was he taking matters involving Su Yang so seriously? Was it possible that, because of Ye Wantong, he was now treating Su Yang as his son-in-law?

Thinking of this, Su Yang quickly shook his head, dismissing the idea as impossible. After all, Lian Wanxiong was also there, and Wan Xiong certainly wouldn’t be entertaining such a notion.

Walking beside him, Sword Saint Ye noticed Su Yang shaking his head and frowned, asking, ”What nonsense are you thinking about now, boy?”

Su Yang’s face turned slightly embarrassed. If Sword Saint Ye knew what he’d been considering, Su Yang was sure he would be in big trouble.

”Not talking, are you? Did you do something guilty that you’re afraid to speak of?” Sword Saint Ye asked sternly.

”How could that be!” Su Yang quickly replied with a smile, ”By the way, you two, what brought you to Lake Heart Island all of a sudden?”

”Nonsense. If we hadn’t come, you wouldn’t want to know what would have become of you by now!” Sword Saint Ye said with a sneer, ”The Qi Family’s Earth Immortals couldn’t kill you, but they could have imprisoned you, and the Law Enforcers wouldn’t have intervened. Did you really think you could provoke the Earth Immortals so casually?”

Su Yang scratched his head: ”That’s not what I meant. I’m asking, how did you two know that I was on Lake Heart Island?”

”This is our secret technique.” Ye Jiansheng said with a proud face, ”It’s not just if you go to Lake Heart Island, even if you go somewhere else, we can still know about it.”

”Ah?” Su Yang looked astonished, ”Doesn’t that mean I have no privacy at all?”

”Nonsense!” Ye Jiansheng retorted with a curl of his lips, ”Who do you think you are that we would spend all day watching you? We couldn’t care less about you unless there’s a presence of a Terrestrial Immortal around you!”

Su Yang took a deep breath, ”So, you mean that if a Terrestrial Immortal appears by my side, you two can sense it and then come to help me?”

”Don’t flatter yourself,” Ye Jiansheng replied, ”We call this maintaining the rules of Terrestrial Immortals! Who said it’s to help you?”

Su Yang was momentarily at a loss for words, while Lian Wanxiong smiled and said, ”Don’t listen to his nonsense, we really did come to help you this time.”

”Oh?” Su Yang looked slightly surprised. Since he wasn’t that close to these two, why would they come all the way to help him?

Lian Wanxiong said, ”The things you’ve done are what we’ve always wanted to do but couldn’t.”

”You wanted to do it too?” Su Yang was astonished. Did Lian Wanxiong and Ye Jiansheng also have a grudge against the Qi Family?

Lian Wanxiong spoke softly, ”The Qi family has been rampant and harmful in the Southern Six Provinces, a veritable cancer. Unfortunately, their strength is too formidable, and there aren’t many who can deal with them. Thus, indeed, nobody dares to provoke the Qi family. Both Brother Ye and I are Earth Immortals, so we can’t intervene in matters below Earthly Immortals. Now that you’ve managed to deal a heavy blow to the Qi family and teach them a lesson, Brother Ye and I, of course, will support you with all our might!”

It dawned on Su Yang. In plain terms, these two had long disliked the Qi family, but as Earth Immortals, they couldn’t act rashly and had to keep it to themselves.

This time, since Su Yang had taken action and done what they had always wanted to, they naturally came to back him up.

”You two don’t have to be scared now. This time, I’ve thoroughly offended the Qi family,” Su Yang said wryly. ”Didn’t you hear what they said? They’re waiting for me to enter the Earthly Immortal Realm. I guess when that happens, those Earth Immortals from the Qi family will all come after my life!”

”Everyone has to die someday, either heavier than Mount Tai or lighter than a feather,” Ye Jiansheng said. ”Having beaten the Qi family like this, even if you later become an Earthly Immortal and get killed by their people, it will still be glorious.”

”Then why don’t you just sweep away the entire Qi family with one sword stroke and have them all annihilated? When the Law Enforcers kill you, wouldn’t you be even more glorious!” Su Yang retorted.

”Why are you always arguing!” Ye Jiansheng said, ”You’ve already fought, so why say so much nonsense? In my opinion, you should train your strength, gather it thickly and release it thinly, just like Qi Zhishan. Once you enter the Land of Immortals and leap over several realms, how could those Qi family’s Earth Immortals lay a finger on you? You’ll still be able to beat them until they’re down on the ground, searching for their teeth!”

”You make it sound so easy,” Su Yang said with a wry smile. ”It’s not that simple!”

”What’s so difficult about it? When I first entered the Earthly Immortal Realm, I was sought out by someone who had been on the Evil List,” Ye Jiansheng recounted. ”What happened in the end? He still got killed by my sword. In fact, those so-called experts on the Heavenly List, Evil List, Dark List, and the like, are nothing to fear. Aren’t they all cultivated by people? If they can reach that realm, why can’t we?”

Su Yang remained silent. In truth, he wasn’t too worried about this matter. He was already following the old path that Ye Jiansheng had taken, cultivating each realm to great perfection before advancing.

Just like Qi Zhishan, he would gather strength gradually and release it swiftly, and once he entered the Land of Immortals, he would ascend to the heavens in one step.
