Supreme Warrior in the City

Although this was what he thought in his heart, the Second Elder’s face showed no sign of it. Instead, he coldly glared at Ge Kaiyang and said in a deep voice, ”What are you trying to say? Stirring up trouble behind someone’s back is the behavior of a despicable person. Haven’t I taught you this?”

Ultimately, the Second Elder now counted as the leader from the side of the Four Major Sects. Even if he truly suspected Tian Ya Hai Jiao, he couldn’t reveal it directly. Such actions could easily affect unity. If he guessed wrong, it would indeed hurt Tian Ya Hai Jiao’s feelings. Doing such things isn’t what a leader should do!

Ge Kaiyang’s expression remained unchanged; he moved closer to the Second Elder and whispered, ”Master, I know that stirring up trouble behind people’s backs is wrong. But this matter concerns our Four Major Sects, relates to the grand enterprise of our Heavenly Court; I can’t not speak of it!”

The Second Elder frowned. Although he was a bit displeased, he didn’t stop him. After all, this matter is of great importance indeed.

”I’ve always had doubts about what happened last time,” Ge Kaiyang said. ”Although we all fell for Su Yang’s trick, my plan, before knowing Su Yang’s exact conspiracy, was still very suitable. However, Sect Leader Qi firmly insisted that there was a problem with my plan, didn’t want to help us, and even directly left. There is definitely something fishy here!”

The Second Elder glanced at Ge Kaiyang and said in a deep voice, ”Speak directly, don’t waste words!”

Ge Kaiyang quickly said, ”The person who discovered Su Yang at the time was a Land Immortal from Tian Ya Hai Jiao. Later, they also said they lost him, but whether they truly did or not, only they know, we don’t!”

”And later, Tian Ya Hai Jiao left early, claiming they were driven away by me. But after that, Su Yang appeared in their prison, isn’t this worth suspecting?”

The Second Elder frowned, the words from Ge Kaiyang indeed added to the suspicions in his mind.

Ge Kaiyang whispered, ”Master, I know you are grateful for Tian Ya Hai Jiao supporting you. But the problem is, people have selfish motives. They support you because of the Heavenly Court. Sect Leader Qi is not someone who willingly falls behind others. Master, he is also unwilling for you to manage the Heavenly Court!”

The Second Elder’s expression turned cold; this sentence hit him right in his heart. He now manages the Four Major Sects, being the Heavenly Court’s leader, which is his greatest pride. If someone wants to vie for this position, he is definitely unwilling!

If before, what Ge Kaiyang said only made him suspect Sect Leader Qi, now this sentence directly started to make him hostile toward Sect Leader Qi. He doesn’t want anyone coveting his position, no matter who it is!

”Moreover, Tian Ya Hai Jiao suffered a great loss from Su Yang last time, and their strength was greatly weakened. Continuing like this, although Tian Ya Hai Jiao can continue to manage the Human World with you, their strength will be far inferior to the other three major sects, and they probably won’t gain much benefit in the end. Sect Leader Qi is such a shrewd person. He must see this point. So, Sect Leader Qi cannot stand by and do nothing!” Ge Kaiyang continued.

The Second Elder was already inclined by Ge Kaiyang’s words, he frowned and said in a deep voice, ”Continue!”

”Yes!” Ge Kaiyang nodded, a sly joy flashing in his eyes, and continued softly, ”It’s not easy for Tian Ya Hai Jiao to enhance their strength. But now, there happens to be an opportunity in front of them!”

At this point, Ge Kaiyang paused and quietly said, ”Su Yang!”

A brilliant light flashed in the Second Elder’s eyes, and his hands clenched tightly.

Ge Kaiyang softly said, ”Su Yang possesses the Heavenly Destiny Treasure Book and so many Secret Techniques in Alchemy, a person even Heaven desires. If Tian Ya Hai Jiao could obtain his Secret Techniques and the Heavenly Destiny Treasure Book, their strength would certainly multiply, directly becoming the strongest among the Four Major Sects, with no problem at all. Sect Leader Qi might even have the strength and qualification to challenge you, Master!”

The Second Elder tightly clenched his fists, the brilliant light in his eyes becoming more intense. Someone threatening his position, there’s no way he would sit idly by!

”Master, I know you trust Sect Leader Qi quite a bit. But this time, the evidence is right here,” Ge Kaiyang softly said. ”Su Yang was indeed in Tian Ya Hai Jiao’s prison, and Sect Leader Qi himself couldn’t explain this matter. Master, it’s not that your disciple judges a gentleman with a petty heart, but this matter is too fishy. Your disciple cannot help but suspect, did Sect Leader Qi capture Su Yang and hide him in their prison, wanting to force Su Yang to hand over the Heavenly Destiny Treasure Book and those Secret Techniques!”

The Second Elder’s eyes widened, his breath turning rapid. He remained silent for a long time, gritted his teeth, and said in a deep voice, ”These matters are just your conjecture, how can you prove them?”

Hearing this, Ge Kaiyang felt secretly delighted; this is the effect he wanted!

”Master, for this matter, is there a need for proof?” Ge Kaiyang said softly. ”We only need Sect Leader Qi to explain why Su Yang would be in his prison. If he can explain, then let it be. If he can’t explain, then isn’t that telling?”

The Second Elder slightly nodded, but then he said in a deep voice, ”To ask him to explain now would not be conducive to unity!”

”Master, if he can do such a thing, did he consider unity?” Ge Kaiyang looked at the Second Elder, thought for a moment, and whispered, ”Master, how about this? We don’t have to move against Sect Leader Qi directly; we can target other people in Tian Ya Hai Jiao to investigate this matter. We only need to know if Su Yang is locked in their prison, and isn’t that enough?”

”How to investigate this matter?” the Second Elder asked in a deep voice. ”By asking them? To do this, we would have to capture people from Tian Ya Hai Jiao!”

”It’s not necessarily required to capture people from Tian Ya Hai Jiao!” Ge Kaiyang said in a low voice. ”Or, we can start from another direction!”

”Oh?” The Second Elder looked at Ge Kaiyang. ”What do you mean?”

Ge Kaiyang smiled and said softly, ”Master, if Su Yang was really captured by them last time, then he should be locked in Tian Ya Hai Jiao’s prison for around four days. In four days, does he need to eat?”

”Of course!” The Second Elder nodded. ”Su Yang’s power must be sealed, without eating, how could he survive?”

”Exactly!” Ge Kaiyang smiled and whispered, ”If he needs to eat, then who delivers his meals? We just need to find the person delivering meals to investigate clearly, right?”
