Supreme Warrior in the City

Archbishop Orbach’s face was indifferent, ”So what if it is?”

The second elder was furious, ”Don’t forget, this is the territory of the Heavenly Court. Do you really think we’re pushovers just because you’re acting so arrogantly?”

”Oh, now you have a concept of territory?” Orbach said coldly, ”A few days ago, your people went to Paradise, killed many of us, and captured our ally Su Yang. Why didn’t you mention territory then?”

The second elder shouted angrily, ”What happened last time was an accident. While it was true that we inadvertently entered your territory and had a conflict, we also had casualties on our side. Such matters can be resolved through negotiation. But when you come to our territory and capture our great enemy, that is an act of hostility!”

”I’d like you to clarify that!” Orbach replied coldly, ”Was it truly accidental that you stepped onto our land? You came prepared. Moreover, you captured our ally from there, and now we’re retrieving our ally from your territory. Isn’t that fair? You keep threatening hostility, do you think we’re easy to bully?”

”You need to clarify this!” the second elder shouted angrily, ”When did we capture Su Yang from your territory?”

”Heh heh...” Orbach sneered, ”Are you thinking of denying it? Last time, we couldn’t find him, so we let it go. But this time, we rescued Su Alliance Leader from the dungeon at the ends of the earth. Are you still trying to deny it?”

The second elder paused, looking in surprise at the Heavenly Horizon Sect Leader.

The Heavenly Horizon Sect Leader was equally bewildered, saying blankly, ”No, Su Yang isn’t in our dungeon. They’re obviously framing us!”

The second elder grew angrier, as he was well aware of their situation. If Su Yang had been captured, he would certainly know about it.

”Stop making baseless accusations!” the second elder shouted angrily, ”We haven’t seen Su Yang in a long time, how could he be in our dungeon?”

”Does denying it make a difference?” Sandaoshima Yofu said coldly, ”I knew from the start that you people never admit to what you do. So, we recorded a video while rescuing him, would you like to see it clearly?”

The second elder once again looked towards the Heavenly Horizon Sect Leader, who insisted defiantly, ”What video? I don’t believe it. We haven’t even seen Su Yang, how can you claim he’s in our dungeon? Show us your evidence!”

Sandaoshima Yofu was deeply enraged and immediately played the video in public.

Everyone watched it, and then all eyes turned to the Heavenly Horizon Sect Leader.

The Heavenly Horizon Sect Leader was utterly confused, not understanding what was happening. However, he was certain that they had not captured Su Yang!

”This... this is completely impossible...” the Heavenly Horizon Sect Leader fumed, ”You... you are clearly setting us up, we could never have captured Su Yang! This... this is utterly impossible, you... you fabricated this to frame me, yes, you’re framing me!”

”Even at this point, is there any point in being stubborn?” Orbach said coldly, ”Last time, it was strange. If you hadn’t captured Su Alliance Leader then, who was it? We eventually investigated it, and many of you were there. But the Heavenly Horizon people fled first, isn’t that suspicious? You captured Su Alliance Leader and handed him over to the Heavenly Horizon people, making them leave with him first while others stayed behind to hinder us so we couldn’t rescue him. And claiming you never saw Su Alliance Leader, not only did you trespass on our land and kill our people, but also deceived us, which is the greatest insult. How could we endure such a thing?”

At the end, the people from Paradise also shouted angrily, clearly provoked.

The second elder’s face changed; this time Paradise came with many, and they were clearly prepared. Judging by the situation, even if the four major sects gave their all, they might not be able to detain the people from Paradise. But if a fight broke out, the four major sects would certainly suffer significant damage.

The problem was, this incident involved Su Yang, and the four major sects couldn’t just let them go.

If it were any other matter, the four major sects might be able to tolerate it. But Paradise trying to take Su Yang away couldn’t be allowed.

If Paradise took Su Yang, they would be taking the Heavenly Destiny Treasure Book and the secret technique of alchemy from him. If Paradise succeeded, they would soon target the four major sects.

In other words, if the four major sects allowed Paradise to take Su Yang now, they’d be waiting for their doom.

So, despite knowing how troublesome the situation was, the second elder couldn’t back down.

He took a deep breath and said loudly, ”Archbishop Orbach, we’re also unclear about what happened with Su Yang. But I can vouch for the Heavenly Court’s ignorance of this matter with my own honor. Besides, this Su fellow is extremely cunning and deceitful; this might be his scheme. So, I hope Paradise can see this clearly and not be deceived by him. Otherwise, aren’t we just being used by others?”

Before Orbach could speak, Sandaoshima Yofu shouted, ”Second elder, at this point, is there any use in being stubborn? You claim you don’t know what happened; then let me ask you, how did Su Yang end up in the Heavenly Horizon’s dungeon?”

”This...” The second elder looked a bit embarrassed, answering solemnly, ”Perhaps he snuck in himself to frame us!”

”The Heavenly Horizon yard is usually guarded by Land Immortals. Su Alliance Leader hasn’t advanced to Land Immortal, how could he easily enter the dungeon with so many Land Immortals guarding it, and even be imprisoned inside?” Sandaoshima Yofu sneered, ”Second elder, do you believe that?”

The second elder frowned, knowing very well how tight the security was at the Heavenly Horizon courtyard.

After Heavenly Horizon suffered a major defeat under Su Yang, they became particularly cautious. Since moving into the Capital City, the Heavenly Horizon had the strictest guards among the four major sects!
