Supreme Warrior in the City

Su Yang was well aware of his own strength. In the World Melting Furnace, there were three to four hundred Possessors, and even if Su Yang entered, he might not be able to uncover anything.

Furthermore, even if Su Yang managed to investigate the Divine Master’s conspiracy, he might not be able to change anything since their strength was far from sufficient.

However, Su Yang had made up his mind. If he couldn’t uncover the Divine Master’s conspiracy, he would seal the World Melting Furnace. If worse came to worst, he would use the lid to seal the World Melting Furnace.

Once the lid was on, those inside the World Melting Furnace wouldn’t be able to get out at all. After all, the World Melting Furnace was rumored to be able to swallow the heavens and devour the earth, not mere empty talk. Even if those three to four hundred Possessors led by the Divine Master united, they couldn’t open the lid of the World Melting Furnace; it could only be opened from the outside.

At that time, Su Yang would throw the World Melting Furnace into the Storm Valley, and that would be the end of it. No matter how powerful the Divine Master was, could he enter the Storm Valley to retrieve the World Melting Furnace?

Of course, unless absolutely necessary, Su Yang was unwilling to do this. Because Fatty was very likely still in the World Melting Furnace, and perhaps even the Divine Master hadn’t discovered him.

If Su Yang threw the World Melting Furnace into the Storm Valley, it would mean Fatty would also be completely sealed inside. He was Su Yang’s brother, so unless absolutely necessary, Su Yang certainly wouldn’t do such a thing!

Of course, if the situation really became desperate, for the sake of the Human Clan, for the Human World, Su Yang would have no choice but to do it!

After arranging everyone properly, Su Yang secretly returned to the previous city.

Upon reaching the city, Su Yang found that it was also in chaos.

During the previous turmoil, there were casualties on Su Yang’s side, and the Divine Master’s side didn’t fare much better.

Three people died in battle on Su Yang’s side, while on the Divine Master’s side, more than ten died, including five top-level cultivators, which showed just how fierce Su Yang’s people were.

However, Master Ling, Sect Leader Qi, and the others were not very saddened. Most of them didn’t know each other, and they only met after being gathered together by the Divine Master, so there was no familiarity, let alone any feelings. Even if the person next to them died in front of them, they wouldn’t feel any sorrow.

The chaos among these people was primarily because they had set up so many ambushes and still let Su Yang’s people escape. They simply couldn’t accept such a thing.

Especially Master Ling and Sect Leader Qi, who were completely cursing furiously on the spot. They had prepared so thoroughly this time and were ordered by the Divine Master to handle things, yet they ended up messing up like this. They had no way to explain to the Divine Master.

Su Yang disguised himself as Fang Zishu and slowly walked over. The scene was chaotic, and few people noticed him. In fact, Fang Zishu himself was a top-level assassin who seldom engaged with others, and few people knew him, especially among the crowd here.

Su Yang hid among the crowd, listening to the raging curses from Master Ling and Sect Leader Qi without uttering a word. However, some were unconvinced and started to retort after being scolded for a while, which eventually led to a war of words.

Though Master Ling and Sect Leader Qi had high status, those present were completely unafraid of them. Those top-level cultivators who came here had little to do with the Four Major Sects, as most had stayed overseas and escaped the Heavenly Court’s Investiture of the Gods.

These people had been overseas for so many years, and the authority of the Ten Great Sects meant little to them. Furthermore, as the Four Major Sects had developed to this point, authority was even less of a concern. Besides, everyone was serving under the Divine Master; why should you be above us?

The verbal battle among them lasted quite a while, and Master Ling and Sect Leader Qi couldn’t control the situation at all, leaving them no choice but to angrily contact the Divine Master and report the situation.

Upon hearing their report, the Divine Master was silent for a moment before ultimately ordering everyone to retreat to the Capital City.

Although Master Ling and Sect Leader Qi were unwilling, they had no choice but to comply. In fact, they could only retreat to the Capital City for now.

In their view, they had set up an ambush for Su Yang, but it ended in failure this time. Next time, Su Yang would undoubtedly be extremely cautious and wouldn’t fall for it again, making their continued presence outside meaningless.

This situation was precisely what Su Yang had in mind; he was already thinking about how to shake off these people and go to the Capital City. With the Divine Master personally ordering the retreat, they could return to the Capital City openly.

After arriving in the Capital City, Master Ling and Sect Leader Qi promptly led those top-level cultivators to Qinghe Academy to report the matter to the Divine Master.

Su Yang followed them into Qinghe Academy, and upon entering, he quietly surveyed the situation at Qinghe Academy.

According to the accounts of those captives, the location of the Divine Palace was just behind the teacher’s building. However, the trouble was that the Divine Master happened to be stationed in this teacher’s building.

For Su Yang, stealing the World Melting Furnace wasn’t difficult; he knew how to control the World Melting Furnace and only needed to get close to it.

The trouble was, once he stole the World Melting Furnace, the Divine Master would sense it immediately. Su Yang was essentially doing this right under the Divine Master’s nose, surrounded by so many people on the Divine Master’s side within Qinghe Academy. After acquiring the World Melting Furnace, could Su Yang leave the Capital City alive?

After entering Qinghe Academy, most of the people were left to rest temporarily, with only a few going to meet the Divine Master to report on what had happened outside.

Su Yang also stayed to rest. His current identity was Fang Zishu, indicating that Fang Zishu’s status with the Divine Master wasn’t very high.

Of course, Su Yang didn’t mind this now. When he entered Qinghe Academy, he was constantly worried, fearing the Divine Master would recognize his identity.

Now, the Divine Master hadn’t recognized him, which was indeed good news. Zhao Yuanzhou’s Transformation Technique was quite effective!

Not long after Master Ling and the others met with the Divine Master, orders were passed down, instructing these top-level cultivators to remain at Qinghe Academy temporarily to rest. In the next two days, the Divine Master would allow everyone to enter the Divine Palace for cultivation, to recover from their injuries.

This news caused everyone to cheer in excitement; getting to cultivate in the Divine Palace was a very high reward. Although these people were all top-level cultivators, the chance to enter the Divine Palace was rare. This opportunity was enough to make everyone ecstatic.

Su Yang was also quite delighted, not because of the chance to cultivate in the Divine Palace, but because the Divine Master decided to keep them in Qinghe Academy.

Previously, Su Yang was contemplating how to sneak into Qinghe Academy, but now the Divine Master had directly kept them here, saving Su Yang the trouble of devising another way!
