Supreme Warrior in the City

”Nothing much!” Su Yang smiled faintly, ”Brother Lv, this is my number. When I’m in hiding, my phone will be off. If there’s any important news outside, send me a message, and I’ll check it from time to time.”

”That’s no problem!” Lv Donglin replied, ”Just make sure you stay hidden, and don’t let anyone discover you.”

Su Yang smiled faintly, hung up the phone, and instead of returning to the World Melting Furnace, he shrank it and left the museum with it.

Of course, when Su Yang left, he put the previous cauldron back in its place.

This way, no one would discover that Su Yang had been hiding here. Meanwhile, those outside looking for Su Yang wouldn’t think he would hide in this way, allowing Su Yang to continue hiding like this in the future.

Leaving the museum, Su Yang headed directly to the edge of the Yangtze River.

To prevent being discovered, Su Yang found a car himself and drove all the way to the river’s edge.

If he had flown, he’d be easily spotted, which would be even more dangerous. In contrast, driving such an ordinary car wouldn’t catch anyone’s attention, and naturally, they wouldn’t notice him.

Upon reaching a city along the Yangtze’s edge, Su Yang first observed the terrain around the city. Then, after nightfall, he entered the city, took a stroll, and took the opportunity to inquire about the situation here.

This city was originally just an ordinary city on the edge of the Yangtze River, home to some prominent families who were very rule-abiding in their actions.

However, after the four Major Sects brought the local family powers under their wings, these families’ actions became increasingly excessive.

With the backing of the four Major Sects, the people from these families abandoned rules, started plundering everywhere, under the guise of collecting strategic resources for the Major Sects. In practice, most of it lined their pockets, and only a portion was sent to the Major Sects.

The four Major Sects stationed people to guard each city, and because this city was by the river, they even sent someone of relatively high status. The one sent here was an outstanding disciple from Lingxiao Hall named Fan Lin.

Fan Lin held a decent position in Lingxiao Hall, but due to the many important figures in the sect, he wasn’t that prominent there.

However, upon arriving in this city, he became the number one figure here. All the prominent families and powers submitted to him, allowing him to enjoy the benefits of holding sway over an area, living here in bliss and forgetfulness.

To curry favor with Fan Lin, these prominent families and powers sent various treasures to him—money, beauties, and various rare resources, all sent continuously, which made Fan Lin very satisfied, and he naturally took more care of these families and powers.

As a result, these families and powers acted even more recklessly.

During this period, the city was in chaos due to these people. Those originally rule-abiding prominent families and powers now completely ignored any rules. Instances of family members killing in the streets happened frequently, and the ordinary people in the city lived like slaves to these families, suffering tremendously yet not daring to speak out.

In fact, the same situation was occurring in many places across the country. This city was just a microcosm of the major cities.

After wandering through the city several times, Su Yang heard too many grievances and sorrows. The prominent families and powers here had made life truly unbearable for the people.

After walking for a while, Su Yang originally planned to leave the city and find a place to hide temporarily.

However, when passing an alley, Su Yang clearly heard the sound of a child crying inside.

Su Yang’s heart was surprised, and he immediately walked into the alley, finally discovering an abandoned baby not far away, in a trash bin. Several garbage bags were piled on the baby, pressing it underneath.

This child was probably only about three or four months old, and looked very cute. However, maybe because it had been in the trash bin for a while, it seemed very weak, and the crying voice was very faint.

If it weren’t for Su Yang passing by, an ordinary person probably wouldn’t hear the child’s crying. Surely, this child would starve to death in this trash bin.

Su Yang frowned, wondering whose child it was and how the parents could be so irresponsible to throw the child here?

Looking at the weak crying child, Su Yang didn’t know how to feed it. He thought about it and took out a small bottle from the storage ring.

This bottle contained Spiritual Liquid that Su Yang found in the World Melting Furnace, used for Alchemy. If a mortal drinks it, they can be transformed; it’s something very miraculous.

Su Yang had nothing else now, so he could only slowly pour this Spiritual Liquid into the child’s mouth. The effect of this liquid was undoubtedly much stronger than infant formula and could even present the child with a great opportunity.

Sure enough, the child drank it happily and soon finished half a bottle of the Spiritual Liquid.

After drinking, the child obviously gained strength, and its big eyes sparkled. Not only was the previous weakness swept away, but the body also became much stronger.

Su Yang looked at the adorable child, feeling joyful. He played with the child, considering whether to take him out and give him to the police to find his parents.

However, just as he was about to leave, Su Yang suddenly noticed a woman’s phone under the pile of trash.

Su Yang, curious, took the phone out, turned it on, and found a long string of missed calls.

Su Yang tentatively called back, and the call was quickly answered by a man’s anxious voice: ”Yueyue, where are you? Why aren’t you answering the phone? Where did you run off to?”

After a moment of silence, Su Yang replied in a low voice, ”I’m not Yueyue...”

”Huh? Who are you? Why... why do you have Yueyue’s phone? You... speak up!” The man’s voice was obviously panicked, raising his volume.

”I’m just a passerby!” Su Yang said in a deep voice, ”I found this phone in a pile of trash along with a child...”

”A child?” The man was anxious, ”What child? Is it my son? Yueyue left with the child! Where... where are you? Is Yueyue there?”

Su Yang looked at the trash pile and saw that obviously no one was hiding there, then shook his head, saying, ”There’s no one here, just this phone and a child!”
