Supreme Warrior in the City

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of everyone present changed dramatically.

Although not many had seen the Martial Champion, everyone could feel that the speaker was indeed the Martial Champion!

The Martial Champion dared to say such things, threatening to destroy the Divine Palace? Does he really have the ability?

The face of the Divine Master also changed at this, then he sneered, ”Are you trying to scare me? Destroy the Divine Palace? Hmph, you indeed have the power to do it. But the problem is, aren’t you afraid of delaying that matter? Do you not realize how much power it would take to destroy the Divine Palace? You’ve been lying dormant for so many years just for this final goal; do you not understand what matters most?”

The crowd present changed their expressions again upon hearing the Divine Master’s words.

The Divine Master actually admitted that the Martial Champion could destroy the Divine Palace, so just how terrifying is the Martial Champion’s power?

It must be known that the Divine Master has three to four hundred Possessors on his side, and so many Demon Beasts, reaching an extremely terrifying peak state. Even if compared with those cultivators from Huaxia and those from the Heavenly Court combined, they are far from being a match for the Divine Palace!

And now, the Martial Champion alone could destroy the Divine Palace, just how against the heavens is this power?

At this moment, everyone present was utterly shocked to the extreme. They had only known that the Martial Champion was strong, but no one knew exactly how strong. Perhaps just a bit weaker than Ye Sword Saint?

But now it seems, the Martial Champion’s power is definitely not weaker than Ye Sword Saint, and might even be much stronger.

”What if I kill you?” the Martial Champion softly said again.

The expression on the Divine Master’s face changed instantly, and he involuntarily retreated a little. His expression was uncertain as he glanced in the direction of the Martial Champion and suddenly gritted his teeth, ”Martial Champion, it’s easy for you to kill me, but once those three thousand Demon Beasts lose control, what will happen to the Human World? Are you trying to plunge the entire Human World into chaos?”

”Are you threatening me?” the Martial Champion’s voice turned cold.

”Not at all!” the Divine Master immediately said, ”I just want to tell you that the affairs of the Human World are for us to handle. Since the Zhang Family has chosen to stay out of this, they should not involve themselves in these worldly affairs. Once the Martial Champion leaves, I will ensure the Zhang Family’s eternal peace!”

”Each generation has its blessings, I ask for no more,” the Martial Champion softly said, ”I will not interfere in worldly affairs. However, anyone who tries to bully the Zhang Family will find it impossible!”

The Divine Master’s expression changed several times before he swallowed his pride and relented.

”Since that’s the case, we won’t disturb you further!” the Divine Master took a deep breath and retreated with the others.

In the sky, the white-haired elder watched the Divine Master and others leave, then returned to the Zhang Family and arrived outside the small house in the backyard.

The purple haze in the sky gradually retreated into the small house, as if nothing had ever happened, and everything returned to peace.

The white-haired elder stood outside the small house, hesitated for a long time, and opened his mouth several times but did not speak.

Suddenly, a voice came from inside the house, ”Killing him is pointless; instead, his presence can temporarily stabilize the Human World. The Four Major Sects and Overseas Practitioners can be subdued, stopping their conflicts. This is the key.”

The white-haired elder knew the Martial Champion was referring to the Divine Master, and quickly said, ”But this person is extremely ambitious. I always feel that his goal is not simply to control the Human Clan!”

”That’s beyond our scope,” the Martial Champion sighed softly, ”I have been dormant for so many years; I cannot waste my years of intense cultivation on such matters. The Day of the Dark Moon is uncertain when it will arrive again, and I must wait intently and cannot act rashly. Otherwise, it won’t be about who controls the Human World, but whether the Human World can even continue to exist.”

If Su Yang were here listening to the Martial Champion’s words, he would certainly be shocked.

The Martial Champion also spoke of the Day of the Dark Moon, as an assassin had mentioned before. But what does this Day of the Dark Moon actually mean? What will happen on this day?

”The Human Clan has stood for so many years, from the coexistence of the Nine Realms to the invasion of the Eight Realms, to today’s countless people trying to control the Human Clan, yet how many have succeeded? The waves wash away the sand, talented people emerge, each leading for hundreds of years, but who can remain at the peak forever? You think too much!” the Martial Champion said again.

The white-haired elder bowed his head, looking ashamed, and softly said, ”Master, I was wrong.”

”There’s no need to blame yourself,” the Martial Champion said softly, ”At least you still have that trace of blood and virtue from the past. Saving Su Yang is a repayment for the life-saving grace Su Zhan gave you back then. As for the path after, it’s up to him to decide. Even if he isn’t stronger than Su Zhan, he’s definitely no waste. There’s no need to worry!”

If Su Yang were to hear this, he would certainly be shocked again. The invincible white-haired elder beside the Martial Champion was once saved by Su Zhan!

The white-haired elder nodded vigorously, clenching his fists, ”I think this kid won’t disappoint me. A hero’s son is no less a hero; a tiger father will not raise a dog son. He definitely won’t embarrass Su Zhan. The Divine Master, humph, is nothing but a mere clown, and won’t last much longer!”

...

At this moment, Su Yang was frantically running for his life.

After being pushed by the white-haired elder, he instantly flew dozens of miles away, out of the bounds of Capital City.

Yet, he dared not pause for even a moment, not even daring to think about what had happened behind him, as he frantically fled for his life.

Moreover, Su Yang did not dare to run in a straight line. He knew the Divine Master could easily open the Gate of Life, and who knew if he might use it to chase him. Running in a straight line would likely get him caught by the Divine Master, so Su Yang was running in all sorts of directions, making it impossible to predict his whereabouts.

After fleeing for an entire night, during which his speed never ceased, Su Yang finally reached a distance of a thousand miles away from Capital City.

At this distance, Su Yang could finally catch his breath; the Divine Master would now have a hard time finding him.

Of course, Su Yang was also not careless; he used the method Zhao Yuanzhou taught him to erase his tracks and quietly hid in a mountain forest.

He sent a message to Black Widow, briefly informing her of his situation.

The people on Black Widow’s side were constantly worried about Su Yang, given the extreme danger of him going alone to Capital City to steal the World Melting Furnace.

Upon hearing that Su Yang had safely escaped from Capital City and had gotten so far away, completely shaking off the pursuit of the Divine Master and his men, the Black Widow group was overjoyed.

Now, Su Yang was truly safe!
