Supreme Warrior in the City

Qi Zhishan descended from the sky, supporting the blood-soaked Black Widow.

The Black Widow finally came to her senses, looked around, and upon realizing she couldn’t find the Divine Master’s group, her eyes reddened again.

She stumbled to the edge of the valley, wanting to jump down, but was blocked by the barrier of light outside the valley.

Qi Zhishan followed closely, his brow furrowing. He had traveled far and wide in his early years, knowing many secret affairs, including matters regarding Kunlun Mountain.

Though he didn’t know as much as the Divine Master, he was aware of the valley’s dangers. Thus, upon hearing Su Yang had been thrown into the valley, he was shocked.

For many years, many had entered the valley, yet none had ever emerged alive.

Now, with Su Yang cast into the valley, was there hope for him to return alive?

After much comforting, Black Widow remained unyielding. Helpless, Qi Zhishan had no choice but to knock her unconscious, and have someone help her to rest.

Qi Zhishan stood at the edge of the valley himself and attempted several times, yet the result was the same as before. Despite Qi Zhishan’s full strength, he couldn’t shake the light barrier, let alone break through to enter the valley.

Lv Donglin, standing by, saw Qi Zhishan unable to break the valley’s barrier and hurriedly asked, ”How is it? How is it?”

Qi Zhishan sighed deeply, ”The power of this light barrier is extremely strong. I estimate, looking across the entire Human World, there’s likely no one who can open it!”

”How’s that possible?” Lv Donglin exclaimed, ”Not even the assassin?”

Qi Zhishan shook his head slowly, ”This power is beyond what we can imagine. It surpasses any strength I’ve seen, even what I’ve heard of. Although the assassin’s strength is considerable, his realm and this light barrier are not of the same realm!”

”What!?” Qi Xuan gasped from behind, ”Different realms?”

The crowd was dumbfounded, knowing well what differing realms signified. It’s akin to the Fusion Realm compared to the Land Immortal Realm, the differences are vast, the power levels entirely different.

Yet the assassin was already a Land Immortal, perhaps even at its peak. For the barrier’s realm to be higher, how could that be?

”With our strength, breaking this light barrier is impossible now.” Qi Zhishan said in a low voice, ”We can only roam nearby to see if there are alternate paths into the valley. Or wait here to see if the light might recede. I remember this valley without such a barrier, no idea how it appeared; hopefully, it will recede soon!”

The group exchanged glances, realizing there was little else they could do.

After a brief silence, Ye Wantong suddenly turned and ran.

”Where are you going?” Qi Zhishan quickly asked.

”I’m checking for other paths around!” Ye Wantong replied.

”Don’t rush!” Qi Zhishan urged, stopping her, ”You can’t go alone; it’s unknown if others are lurking on the mountain, very dangerous. I’ll arrange for people to search together, so they can watch each other’s backs in case of danger!”

”But Su Yang’s situation inside is unknown. We can’t... we can’t delay...” Ye Wantong cried urgently, her eyes swollen red from tears.

”I understand your worry; I’m even more concerned, but worrying won’t solve anything.” Qi Zhishan said sternly, ”Please wait a moment; I’m arranging personnel now.”

Qi Zhishan quickly arranged a team, including Qi Xuan, Lv Donglin, and Deng An. After all, Qi Xuan and Deng An were not lacking in strength; should they encounter any issues, they could hold out for a while.

Ye Wantong clearly wasn’t willing to wait around; she joined the group in the search.

Qi Zhishan stayed with the remaining members to monitor the area, as Su Yang fell into the valley from this very spot; he had to wait to assess the situation.

After about three hours, Ye Wantong and the others hadn’t returned, but Zhang Lao San, who had gone out earlier, came back.

He landed beside Qi Zhishan, recounting the movement of the Divine Master’s group.

After the Divine Master’s group departed, they showed no intent of setting traps or ambushes, promptly heading away from the mountain.

The Divine Master was extremely familiar with Kunlun Mountain; under his guidance, they avoided all dangers and arrays, even speeding up significantly. In little time, they’d traveled a great distance.

Seeing no intent to set traps or ambush further, Zhang Lao San stopped tracking them and returned to meet Qi Zhishan.

Upon hearing Zhang Lao San’s report, Qi Zhishan’s brow furrowed, asking in a deep voice, ”You just let them go? If they find you aren’t following, what if they turn back to ambush?”

”Don’t worry, I’ve left marks on them. Within ten days, I can roughly track their movements,” Zhang Lao San said, ”If they return, within a three-hundred-mile radius, I’ll definitely sense it, making ambush impossible!”

Qi Zhishan finally exhaled in relief, nodding slowly, ”Thanks!”

”Between us, no need for thanks!” Zhang Lao San chuckled, surveying the scene, and curiously asked, ”By the way, what happened here?”

Qi Zhishan glanced around, suddenly pulling Zhang Lao San aside, whispering, ”This isn’t the place to say; let’s talk over there.”

Confused, Zhang Lao San followed Qi Zhishan to a secluded spot, unsure why the secrecy.

”What’s the situation?” Zhang Lao San asked curiously.

Qi Zhishan recounted the events, leaving Zhang Lao San stunned. With his brow furrowing, he muttered coldly, ”I’ve heard of this Divine Master; my father even sent people to investigate him, but he never did anything evil and always kept to himself, so we didn’t pay much attention. I never expected him to have such ambitions, hidden so deep, doing such things!”

Qi Zhishan sighed, ”I didn’t expect it either. This man is despicable and cunning. He’s been plotting here in Kunlun Mountain for ages, aiming to lure Qinghe Academy, seize control of Qinghe Academy, and further control the Human World; it’s outright ambitious wolf-heartedness!”
