Supreme Warrior in the City

”So, then it seems the purpose of the Heavenly Court isn’t too different from ours!” The Sky Blade Peak Master frowned and said in a deep voice, ”In that case, Su Yang must not fall into their hands!”

The others stayed silent, all looking towards Ge Kaiyang.

Ge Kaiyang nodded, ”The Peak Master is right, there’s no way Su Yang can end up in their hands. Because, the Heavenly Court’s first objective in coming to Huaxia is to obtain what Su Yang has, and the second is to gradually take over everything in Huaxia. Once the Heavenly Court indeed gets what Su Yang holds, they would start pursuing their second objective. At that time, there will inevitably be a fierce battle between us and the Heavenly Court. Moreover, with the things obtained from Su Yang, facing off against the Heavenly Court could yield an uncertain outcome!”

Everyone exchanged glances, though Ge Kaiyang’s words seemed alarmist, they all believed him. For the Heavenly Court to have been in Huaxia country’s territory for such a long period, it cannot solely be for seizing southern lands; there must be a bigger target. The cultivators abroad also hold grudges amongst themselves; uniting to invade Huaxia at this time shows ambition beyond question!

However, if the Heavenly Court clashes head-on with the Heavenly Realm now, although the Heavenly Court might gain the upper hand, winning would come at a high cost. And if Su Yang were to watch from the sidelines when both parties fight, he would reap the benefits post-victory, making him the real winner instead.

So, under such circumstances, the Heavenly Court starts by targeting Su Yang, much like the Heavenly Realm. First, to eliminate Su Yang and prevent him from benefiting from their clashes. Secondly, to acquire what Su Yang has, which is undoubtedly of high value.

Understanding this, everyone became more vigilant against the Heavenly Court. Under the current circumstances, Su Yang must not be captured by them under any circumstances, else the four major sects might face trouble!

”So, no matter what, the Heavenly Court should not be allowed to ally with Su Yang?” The Sky Blade Peak Master said in a deep voice.

”Indeed!” Ge Kaiyang nodded.

The Sky Blade Peak Master contemplated for a moment and said solemnly, ”Then how do you think we can prevent this from happening?”

Ge Kaiyang chuckled, looking towards the Sect Leader of Tianya Haijiao, ”Sect Leader Qi is one of the four guardians of the Heavenly Realm. Please, do you have any plans regarding this matter?”

Sect Leader Qi frowned deeply; Ge Kaiyang intentionally thrust him into the spotlight, practically forcing him to come up with an idea, essentially putting him in a situation to risk public embarrassment.

If Sect Leader Qi didn’t propose a plan, he would be looked down upon. How embarrassing it would be for a Sect Leader without any ideas to be publicly ridiculed!

However, Sect Leader Qi truly had no plan in mind now; he genuinely couldn’t think of what to say.

After pondering for a moment, Sect Leader Qi said in a deep voice, ”Tomorrow night, Su Yang will meet with the Heavenly Court folks. At that time, we’ll directly disrupt their meeting and capture Su Yang!”

”Hahaha...” As soon as Sect Leader Qi finished speaking, Ge Kaiyang burst into laughter with a hint of mockery in his tone.

Sect Leader Qi was furious, banging on the table with force and shouting angrily, ”Ge Kaiyang, what are you laughing at!”

The murderous intent in his tone was evident; he harbored murderous thoughts towards Ge Kaiyang.

Several of Ge Kaiyang’s companions edged closer to him, especially the three-eyed Ghost King, who eyed Sect Leader Qi closely, all wary of his potential moves.

Sect Leader Qi was even more enraged, shouting, ”All of you, get out of the way! If I truly intended to kill him, even the Jade-faced Judge couldn’t stop me!”

The three-eyed Ghost King’s expression was icy as he said in a low voice, ”Sect Leader Qi, mind your words. My master won’t allow you to desecrate him!”

”What, you’re not convinced?” Sect Leader Qi shot back coldly.

The three-eyed Ghost King showed no sign of fear, and tension rose between the two. The Sky Blade Peak Master hastily mediated, ”Why let animosity arise? Our key task now is dealing with Su Yang; what’s most needed is unity. Sect Leader Qi, Ge Nephew, isn’t Su Yang our enemy?”

The two exchanged glances, both turning their heads aside in unwillingness.

”Alright, let’s focus on discussing how to handle Su Yang!” The Sky Blade Peak Master spoke kindly, though in truth, he was delighted, hoping the two groups would fight, with both sides perishing.

This way, Sky Blade Peak could see increased benefits upon the Heavenly Realm’s return.

”Ge Kaiyang, from your smug laughter earlier, it seems you have a plan!” Sect Leader Qi said in a deep voice, ”If so, share your plan!”

”I have a plan, indeed, but my laughter wasn’t due to my plan, but yours!” Ge Kaiyang replied.

”What did you say!” Sect Leader Qi erupted in anger.

Ge Kaiyang sneered, ”What’s the matter? Feeling indignant? Humph, then let me show you just how laughable your plan is!”

”Alright, explain yourself!” Sect Leader Qi demanded in a deep voice, ”For if you fail to, don’t blame me for retaliating!”

Ge Kaiyang sneered and spoke loudly, ”Everyone, I said before how treacherous Su Yang is. Before appearing, he surely investigated our situation, aware of our nearby search efforts. Yet he suddenly emerges now to discuss collaboration with the Ghost Tomb; isn’t there something off about it?”

Everyone nodded in agreement, as Ge Kaiyang continued, ”Moreover, when a Land Immortal tracked him earlier, he suddenly sped up while passing through a forest. Doesn’t this seem suspicious? If he hadn’t realized our pursuit, why did he flee?”

People exchanged looks again, with many nodding. Indeed, most felt Su Yang must have discovered the Land Immortal’s pursuit.

”I know some of you still harbor doubts, believing Su Yang hasn’t noticed us!” Ge Kaiyang said, ”But dealing with someone like Su Yang, caution is crucial. Therefore, I propose we assume Su Yang has realized our pursuit this time around.”

The Sky Blade Peak Master nodded slowly, ”Ge Nephew is right, we must approach cautiously, assuming Su Yang has detected us, and not permit carelessness!”

Others nodded as well; with even the Sky Blade Peak Master in agreement, they too endorsed this perspective.

”If Su Yang truly noticed our traces...” Ge Kaiyang paused, looking at everyone present, speaking quietly, ”Do you think he will still meet the Heavenly Court tomorrow night for collaboration?”
