Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1477: Chapter 1476: The Befuddled Ghost King San Yan

Su Yang didn’t need to guess to know that these three Law Enforcers had come down to search for him because they couldn’t see him and were worried something might have happened.

In the end, they discovered the Space Artifact here and immediately realized something had gone wrong. The shaking of the house earlier was most likely the result of these three Law Enforcers attacking the Space Artifact.

However, this Space Artifact wasn’t particularly sturdy. Ki Baixiong didn’t dare let these Law Enforcers keep attacking it, so he rushed to retrieve the Space Artifact.

Once the three Law Enforcers saw that Su Yang was fine, they didn’t say much. They merely gave Ki Baixiong and Ki Yongchuan a cold glance.

Both of their faces turned red with embarrassment. In truth, they were quite displeased, but faced with these powerful Law Enforcers, they didn’t dare say a single word.

”Gentlemen, I won’t see you off.” Su Yang said softly, ”I haven’t even had a good rest, and you’ve come to bother me. That’s truly impolite. Next time, please be more mindful!”

Ki Baixiong and Ki Yongchuan glanced at the three Law Enforcers and ultimately said nothing more before leaving in frustration.

Su Yang watched the two leave in the distance and finally let out a breath of relief. He had been genuinely worried that Horizon’s End would lead to a complete fallout. But thankfully, the two were rather cautious with their lives. Otherwise, tonight’s situation would’ve been a lot harder to handle.

The next morning, the news that Su Yang had allied with four sects to prepare for the extermination of the Medicine Sect reached Ghost King San Yan.

When he received the news, Ghost King San Yan was drinking tea. After his subordinate finished reporting Su Yang’s actions, Ghost King San Yan nearly dropped his teacup. He abruptly stood up, stunned, and said, ”Su Yang... Did Su Yang really admit to this?”

”Yes!” The subordinate nodded and said, ”Not only that, but he also used the formulas of three types of elixirs as bargaining chips to unite the people from those four sects to help him deal with the Medicine Sect!”

”How... how could this be?” Ghost King San Yan was dumbfounded. Su Yang’s actions completely took him by surprise.

Back then, he had crafted this scheme to frame Su Yang. He didn’t know Su Yang had passed on the formulas for these three types of elixirs to Qinghe Academy. His plan had been to shift the Ten Great Sects’ focus to Su Yang, making them raid Su Yang to seize the formulas while conveniently annihilating Su Yang’s group in the process.

But he never expected Su Yang to turn the tables, using his scheme against him.

Beside him, Ge Kaiyang was also at a loss, nervously saying, ”Uncle Ghost King, if Su Yang really united those four sects against the Medicine Sect, the Medicine Sect is definitely doomed. When that happens, wouldn’t our plan go completely bust?”

Ghost King San Yan was even more anxious than him. He furrowed his brows in deep thought for a while before solemnly saying, ”How did Su Yang come to possess the formulas for these three elixirs in the first place?”

”Uncle Ghost King, now isn’t the time to dwell on that!” Ge Kaiyang replied. ”We need to figure out how to deal with Su Yang and the four sects first!”

Ghost King San Yan didn’t answer Ge Kaiyang. Instead, he told a nearby subordinate to recount everything that had happened on Su Yang’s side, including what Wu Zheng had said while trying to bluff Su Yang.

After listening, Ghost King San Yan fell into silent contemplation.

Ge Kaiyang impatiently asked several questions, but Ghost King San Yan remained silent. Ge Kaiyang, full of frustration, didn’t know why Ghost King San Yan was suddenly so absorbed in his thoughts.

After a long while, Ghost King San Yan finally widened his eyes and said grimly, ”Tell me, does Su Yang really have the formulas for those three elixirs?”

Ge Kaiyang and the others exchanged glances before Xie Bi’an, standing at a distance, solemnly said, ”That’s hard to say. Su Yang is highly skilled in refining pills; otherwise, he wouldn’t have become the Hierarch of the Divine Physicians Alliance. It’s entirely possible that he could formulate these three elixirs!”

”If he could refine these three elixirs, he could have directly made them for barter with the Ten Great Sects, prompting them to act against the Medicine Sect.” Ghost King San Yan said seriously. ”But why didn’t he refine them himself? Instead, he went to Qinghe Academy to involve them, even though Qinghe Academy has always remained neutral. Qinghe Academy may protect him but would never take action against the Medicine Sect. This is far less advantageous than directly enlisting the Ten Great Sects!”

Xie Bi’an scratched his head. ”That part is indeed quite puzzling.”

”I heard that these three elixirs can only be refined by Terrestrial Immortals!” Ge Kaiyang interjected. ”Could it be that Su Yang couldn’t refine them himself and had to turn to Qinghe Academy for help?”

Ghost King San Yan pondered for a while before shaking his head. ”I don’t think so. If he truly had the formulas, he could still negotiate with the Ten Great Sects without involving Qinghe Academy.”

Ge Kaiyang thought for a moment before shaking his head. ”Uncle Ghost King, let’s set these questions aside for now. Su Yang has united the four sects and plans to strike against the Medicine Sect soon. We can’t afford to remain idle!”

Ghost King San Yan gave him a sharp look and said, ”If Su Yang doesn’t actually possess the formulas for those three elixirs, then the promises he made to those four sects are entirely empty guarantees. In other words, he’s deceiving them into helping him. All we need to do is expose this. Then, without lifting a finger, those four sects will turn their fury against Su Yang!”

Upon hearing this, Ge Kaiyang’s eyes lit up with excitement. ”Uncle Ghost King, you’re absolutely right.”

”Don’t rush into opposing them just yet,” Ghost King San Yan said. ”First, spread the rumor that Su Yang doesn’t have the formulas for those three elixirs and that he’s merely tricking those four sects into assisting him.”

”Without concrete evidence, will those four sects believe it?” Ge Kaiyang asked worriedly.

”Whether they believe it or not doesn’t matter. It’s enough to plant the seed of doubt!” Ghost King San Yan replied. ”Once those four sects start doubting him, unless Su Yang produces the formulas, they won’t act rashly on his behalf. This would buy the Medicine Sect some temporary safety!”

Ge Kaiyang finally understood, smiling brightly. ”Uncle Ghost King, you’re brilliant. I’ll go spread the word right away!”

Ghost King San Yan nodded, then turned to Black and White Impermanence. ”When will our master arrive at the Capital City?”

”The master has already exited seclusion and should be nearing the Capital City soon.” Xie Bi’an paused before adding, ”However, I’ve heard that Mahakasyapa of the Buddha Palace has also exited seclusion and seems to be heading for the Capital City as well! I suspect that once the master arrives at the Capital City, Mahakasyapa will follow shortly. Whatever the master plans in the Capital City will likely face close scrutiny from him.”
