Supreme Warrior in the City

Capital City, the residence at the ends of the earth.

This residence was once the mansion of a prominent family in the Capital City.

Because this family always supported Su Yang, it became a thorn in the eyes of the four main sects.

Even before the four main sects emerged, Su Yang knew they would target those around him. So, Su Yang quickly sent this family into the World Melting Furnace, which left the residence empty.

After the four main sects entered the Capital City, they each chose their favorite places to settle down.

Even if people lived in these places, they would be evicted to make way for the sect members.

For instance, the former Chen Family quickly switched allegiance to the four main sects upon their arrival. They hoped for good treatment, but the Jade-faced Judge took a liking to the Chen Family’s mansion and promptly evicted them, taking residence themselves.

Poor Chen Family members now live in a small abode, feeling utterly humiliated, having lost face in the Capital City. Among those who turned to the four main sects, the Chen Family felt the most stifled!

Of course, Chen Benhao and Chen Benshuang had already been sent into the World Melting Furnace by Su Yang before the arrival of the sects.

As for the Medicine Sect, they straightforwardly moved into the Qinghe Academy, as if they had taken control of it.

Among the four main sects, the weakest in strength and status was the sect at the ends of the earth. The residence they selected was not as good as those of the other sects, but it was still quite large.

The sect at the ends of the earth members may have low status among the four main sects, but to others, they still appeared superior.

After entering the residence, the sect swiftly recruited a group of servants to manage it. Even those initially tasked with minor chores soon assumed managerial roles, commanding servants arrogantly with authority.

At noon, a minivan wobbled to the gates of the residence at the ends of the earth.

The gatekeepers were strong individuals selected from prominent families in the Capital City, whose former statuses were not low, but who now guarded the residence.

In fact, others from the four main sects did the same, especially reveling in subjugating past influential figures. Even Qinghe Academy’s gatekeepers were once family heads or elders, bringing insult to these families!

Despite this, they dared not resist. The power of the four main sects was overwhelming. These families once produced Land Immortals, but they were all captured by the Investiture of the Gods. Faced with the sects, the families stood no chance of resisting.

The gatekeepers observed the situation out of habit and saw the driver was a young man in his twenties, whom they recognized as the regular delivery worker. He was also a third young master from a prominent family, now in such a humble position, which was lamentable.

The gatekeepers routinely checked the car but did not observe closely, allowing it to enter the courtyard.

In essence, their guarding held little significance, as the sect had stationed Land Immortals to surveil the entire residence with Divine Sense, making it impossible for intruders to enter unnoticed.

The third young master drove to the kitchen, busily unloading all the vegetables into it. The kitchen staff promptly began their work, organizing and preparing lunch, bustling with activity.

Indeed, many in the kitchen were from various prominent families, once influential in the Capital City, now serving the sects like slaves.

The third young master assisted in the kitchen, sorting vegetables, washing rice, and chopping and cooking without slack. Everyone else worked hard, with no one daring to be lazy.

Some initially resisted menial labor due to their family status. However, after several members were executed by the sect, the remaining staff became compliant.

”Prepare only half of the usual lunch portions today!” the head chef ordered, a prominent figure from a major family, now akin to a head chef, busy in the back of the kitchen.

”Only half?” a man questioned in surprise, ”Why?”

”There’s a meeting at Qinghe Academy today, and half of our people have gone,” the head chef paused and said, ”Especially the Land Immortals, most have left. So today’s lunch shouldn’t be as extensive as usual.”

Everyone sighed in relief. Without the Land Immortals, their workload significantly decreased, as those Immortals were the hardest to serve.

Once the meal was prepared, they began delivering food to the front.

A young man pushed a small cart, ready to head out, when the third young master approached, smiling, ”Old Seven, let me help you with this.”

The young man was surprised, responsible for delivering meals to the underground prison. Normally, no one wanted to go there, so why was the third young master so eager?

Recalling a rumor, the young man relaxed. He leaned closer and whispered, ”You’re not seriously considering apprenticeship, are you? Of all people, why the prison guard?”

Recently, a rumor spread that a prison guard had taken an interest in the third young master and wanted him as an apprentice. The young man hadn’t taken it seriously, but it seemed likely now.

The third young master chuckled, ”Nonetheless, being apprenticed under someone from the sect means joining them!”

The young man thought it over, agreed, and nodded with a smile, ”Alright then, you go. I guess it means some rest for me today. But, Third Brother, if you do join the sect, remember to look after your little brother!”

”Don’t worry!” The third young master leaned close and whispered, ”By the way, make sure not to tell anyone about this.”

He winked at the young man, who understood, realizing the third young master feared interference.

”Don’t worry, we’re close; I’ll support you!” the young man assured, puffing his chest.
