Supreme Warrior in the City

The Jade-faced Judge gritted his teeth and looked at Qi Zhishan, saying in a deep voice: ”Qi Zhishan, although there is a grudge between us, it hasn’t reached such an extent, has it? What good does it do for you to deal with me like this?”

”When have I, Qi Zhishan, ever needed benefits to act?” Qi Zhishan laughed and said, ”You’re right, the grudges between us indeed haven’t reached such a level. But, I just want to deal with you, what can you do about it?”

”You... Are all you Qi Family people so unreasonable?” the Jade-faced Judge shouted angrily, rendered speechless by Qi Zhishan’s provocation.

”Haha, you’re quite right, the Qi Family does act like this — unreasonable and overbearing!” Qi Zhishan said leisurely, ”I used to think their way wasn’t suitable, but after using it myself, I realized being unreasonable like this feels so satisfying!”

The Jade-faced Judge’s blood surged, and he couldn’t hold back a mouthful of blood, which burst out again.

”What now, are you so angry that you’re spitting blood?” Qi Zhishan quickly bent over, patting the Jade-faced Judge’s back, and smiled, ”Oh dear, Ge Kaiyang, at your age, can’t you take things lightly? For just a few words, you spit blood, is it worth it?”

The Jade-faced Judge gritted his teeth and said nothing, truly infuriated.

Qi Zhishan simply sat beside him and said casually, ”Alright, I won’t tease you anymore. Let me tell you this, my coming to kill you today is entirely at the dean’s command.”

”The dean?” The Jade-faced Judge widened his eyes and shouted angrily, ”That old scoundrel with the surname Kong?”

”How can you be so disrespectful to the dean!” Qi Zhishan lightly scolded.

The Jade-faced Judge gritted his teeth and shouted angrily, ”I have no grudge against him, yet he sent you to kill me, how could you expect me to respect him?”

”Hehe...” Qi Zhishan smiled faintly and shook his head, ”Actually, you can’t blame the dean for this, you can only blame yourself!”

”You... what do you mean...” the Jade-faced Judge angrily replied.

Qi Zhishan stood up and said softly, ”Do you know what other identity Master Mahakaya has?”

The Jade-faced Judge glanced at Mahakaya and frowned, ”He has another identity?”

Mahakaya clasped his hands together, bowed slightly, and said, ”This poor monk is one of the Guardians of the Boundary Point!”

”What!?” The Jade-faced Judge widened his eyes, looking at Mahakaya with disbelief. He never imagined that this monk, who had been at odds with him for two or three hundred years, was actually a Guardian of the Boundary Point?

”Is there no one available at Qinghe Academy? That they need a monk who hasn’t even reached the Land Immortal Realm to guard the Boundary Point!” the Jade-faced Judge’s voice was full of shock, ”And you... you’ve always been at the Buddha Palace, never coming out for so many years, how can you guard the Boundary Point? Are you trying to deceive me?”

”He didn’t deceive you, Master is indeed one of the Guardians of the Boundary Point!” Qi Zhishan said softly, ”Did you not know? Every generation of the Buddha Palace’s master has been a Guardian of the Boundary. Master inherited the position, hence automatically became a Guardian. However, previously, with people from Qinghe Academy present, the Buddha Palace’s master didn’t need to guard it. Only when Qinghe Academy falls into crisis do other guardians come. For instance, in this situation, when Qinghe Academy is unoccupied, Master has been hiding all this time, guarding the Boundary Point!”

”What!?” The Jade-faced Judge exclaimed again, turning his head in astonishment to look at Mahakaya: ”You’ve been at Qinghe Academy all along?”

Mahakaya nodded calmly.

”Is... is this possible?” the Jade-faced Judge said anxiously, ”The Four Major Sects have surrounded Qinghe Academy for so long. If you were there, they would’ve definitely found you; you’re not at Qinghe Academy at all!”

”Ge Kaiyang, do you think Qinghe Academy is so simple as it appears on the surface?” Qi Zhishan said, ”The array personally set up by Mr. Su Zhan, do you think it’s an ordinary decoration? Although you’ve spent quite some time there, do you know where the eight Boundary Points are hidden?”

The Jade-faced Judge immediately closed his mouth, just as Qi Zhishan had said. There are too many secrets in Qinghe Academy, even he couldn’t understand them. No one could break the array set by Su Zhan, and many places couldn’t be probed by their Divine Sense. Under such circumstances, hiding a few people at Qinghe Academy isn’t difficult at all.

”But... but what does this have to do with me...” the Jade-faced Judge said unwillingly, ”I only followed the Second Elder here, he wanted to hide in the Heavenly Road, and you want to kill me? What kind of reasoning is this?”

”Is that so?” Qi Zhishan smiled faintly, ”Before leaving, the dean sent a message to the master. He informed the master that someone would definitely try to find the Boundary Point amidst the chaos during this time. Among these, there must be members of other Eight Realms hiding in the Human World, intending to take the opportunity to open the Boundary Point’s seal. So during this time, apart from members of the Ten Great Sects, anyone entering this underground chamber must be killed, no matter who they are!”

The Jade-faced Judge was dazed, finally understanding what was going on.

”It was the Second Elder who brought us in, it has nothing to do with us...” the Jade-faced Judge said anxiously.

”I’m sorry!” Qi Zhishan said softly, ”In this matter, we’d rather kill by mistake than let anyone go! The safety of the Human World is at stake, and a few more deaths don’t matter. However, if we make a mistake and cause the whole Human World to fall into crisis, we can’t bear that responsibility. Just one Heavenly Realm has turned the Human World upside down; if people from other worlds enter, extinction awaits the Human Clan. This must never happen!”

At this point, Qi Zhishan glanced at the Jade-faced Judge and said coldly, ”Besides, your identity is very suspicious. Having lived for so many years without entering the Land Immortal Realm. To hide your identity, you’d even kill your own descendants. Old ghost, you claim to be a member of the Human Clan, honestly, I don’t believe you!”

The Jade-faced Judge’s face turned extremely ugly. He knew clearly, at this point, nothing he said would matter. Qi Zhishan and Mahakaya had already decided he wasn’t a member of the Human Clan, and they certainly wouldn’t spare him.

Moreover, the key point is, this is the truth. So, today, he really couldn’t escape the situation.

Seeing Ge Kaiyang bent over under pressure, his face flushed red, the Jade-faced Judge’s heart felt like it was being pierced by needles.

This was his only son, also his most beloved son; does he really have to die here this time?
