Supreme Warrior in the City

As it turns out, the Jade-faced Judge’s suspicion was correct.

After the Pavilion Master of the Ling Xiao Pavilion and the Sect Leader of the Qi Sect brought the Space Bracelet to the Capital City, they summoned a large number of people to collaborate on opening the Space Bracelet, only to find nothing inside.

Even the deeply calculative Pavilion Master of the Ling Xiao Pavilion was enraged by this, venting his anger on the spot. The incident quickly spread across the world.

It’s no wonder they were angry. The Pavilion Master of the Ling Xiao Pavilion and the Sect Leader of the Qi Sect were convinced that Su Yang was hiding inside the Space Bracelet, so they happily took the Space Bracelet back, abandoning the local search.

As it turned out, there was nothing inside the Space Bracelet. In other words, they had been completely played by Su Yang. Moreover, the key point was that Su Yang must have been hiding nearby at that time, and they just didn’t notice. This realization was what they found most unbearable.

Su Yang was obviously right under their noses, yet they returned with an empty bracelet, smugly thinking they had captured Su Yang. Anyone would be infuriated by such a situation!

Moreover, their primary target this time, the Second Elder, also managed to escape. Basically, this outing achieved nothing, only killing a batch of the Jade-faced Judge’s subordinates, which was pointless.

This incident nearly drove the Pavilion Master of the Ling Xiao Pavilion and the Sect Leader of the Qi Sect insane with rage, prompting them to immediately issue a pursuit order. Anyone providing information on Su Yang would be heavily rewarded, and anyone who managed to kill Su Yang would receive an even greater reward!

Of course, the Pavilion Master of the Ling Xiao Pavilion and the Sect Leader of the Qi Sect knew that the pursuit order was of limited significance. Su Yang’s strength was now formidable, and he was adept at hiding. Dealing with Su Yang was no easy task. Aside from those from the four major sects, essentially no one else could kill Su Yang.

Their real aim in issuing the pursuit order was to rally everyone to search for Su Yang. After all, finding Su Yang by themselves was incredibly challenging.

However, following this incident, Su Yang and his companions went into hiding. After causing such a commotion, it would truly be suicidal for Su Yang to show himself again.

About a week passed with no sign of Su Yang, when internal strife erupted on the Heaven division side. People from different factions clashed due to disagreements, escalating conflicts, and eventually even resorted to fighting, directly leading to the Heaven division splitting into three factions.

Despite the infighting, they weren’t fools. After the split, they didn’t engage in mutual slaughter but instead occupied different territories and began to infiltrate northwards.

The most aggressive group was led by Sandaoshima Yofu from Japan. They were the first to cross the Yangtze River, entering the northern territory, and even had intentions of advancing step by step towards the Capital City.

As for the other two groups, after Sandaoshima Yofu crossed the Yangtze River, they also did not remain idle, crossing the Yangtze River as well, though they chose different directions. One group headed directly northwest towards the Kunlun Mountain, while the other began to consume the various forces in the north, seemingly preparing to take full control over these areas.

Under these circumstances, even the Ling Xiao Pavilion and the ends of the Earth guarding the Capital City became insecure.

The Ling Xiao Pavilion and the ends of the Earth had already taken control of the Medicine Sect, effectively uniting three of the major sects. However, their strength was still somewhat inferior to Sandaoshima Yofu’s group.

Japan had also sent many experts to assist Sandaoshima Yofu, greatly enhancing his group’s strength. Otherwise, Sandaoshima Yofu would not have dared to aggressively advance directly towards the Capital City.

Moreover, even if the Ling Xiao Pavilion and the ends of the Earth could contend with Sandaoshima Yofu, they didn’t dare to fight recklessly.

Despite the Heaven division splitting into three factions, these people were, after all, foreign forces. If the Ling Xiao Pavilion and the ends of the Earth resisted too fiercely, who knew if these foreign forces might temporarily unite to annihilate them.

The intentions of the Pavilion Master of the Ling Xiao Pavilion and the Sect Leader were very clear. They didn’t plan to confront Heaven, nor did they have any grand ambitions. Their aim was to preserve their strength, get rid of the Second Elder, and wait for the Heavenly Court to return and take charge of the situation.

Under such circumstances, they naturally wouldn’t risk everything against Sandaoshima Yofu. It simply wasn’t worth it.

Therefore, as Sandaoshima Yofu and his group approached the Capital City step by step, the Pavilion Master of the Ling Xiao Pavilion and the Sect Leader were secretly planning to withdraw their people from the Capital City.

On this day, the Sect Leader once again sought out the Pavilion Master of the Ling Xiao Pavilion to discuss their next steps. Suddenly, the Pavilion Master received news of chaos erupting at Sky Blade Peak. The Peak Master of Sky Blade Peak unexpectedly made a move, killing one of the Vice Peak Masters. This Vice Peak Master was one of the two who had already pledged allegiance to the Pavilion Master!

As for the other Vice Peak Master, he was now powerless, not daring to confront the Peak Master. After his partner’s death, he immediately retreated with his people to a hidden valley and sent a message to the Pavilion Master, seeking help.

This news greatly shocked the Pavilion Master. He had contacted the two Vice Peak Masters to gradually undermine Sky Blade Peak and eventually usurp the Peak Master’s power to absorb the entire Sky Blade Peak. If Sky Blade Peak joined them, they would essentially control all four major sects.

However, he hadn’t anticipated that the Peak Master of Sky Blade Peak would suddenly act, leaving him with no time to react. What exactly was happening?

The Sect Leader stood beside him, furrowing his brows and said somberly, ”Could it be that when you instructed them to stop Sky Blade Peak from acting recklessly during the Second Elder’s assassination, it aroused the Peak Master’s suspicion?”

The Pavilion Master remained silent, but this thought had already crossed his mind. It must have been during that time that something was exposed, leading the Peak Master to become suspicious, resulting in the current situation.

”No matter what, we must rescue this Vice Peak Master first!” The Pavilion Master said, looking at the Sect Leader, ”He controls a significant portion of Sky Blade Peak’s power. The followers of the killed Vice Peak Master have also sided with him. He holds substantial influence within Sky Blade Peak. If he dies, Sky Blade Peak will return to the Peak Master’s hands, making it much harder for us to bring Sky Blade Peak over to our side!”

The Sect Leader understood this well. He furrowed his brows slightly, appearing troubled as he said, ”But our situation is also very troublesome. Sandaoshima Yofu’s group is pressing aggressively towards the Capital City. At this time, where can we find the energy to deal with other matters?”
