Supreme Warrior in the City

Martial Champion, is he not from the Human World after all?

If such information were heard by others, what kind of uproar would it cause?

The person beneath the Land Immortals in the Human World, in fact, even those Land Immortals cannot compete with him. Such a defiant existence, standing at the very top in the Human World, is actually not a member of the Human Clan?

Who could accept this news?

The Martial Champion remained calm, seemingly unperturbed by the Divine Master’s revelation of his identity, and softly said, ”So what? Just because I’m not from the Human World, does it mean I can’t kill you?”

The Divine Master’s expression changed instantly, gritting his teeth, ”Martial Champion, you and I have never interfered with each other’s domains. You have your matters to attend to, and I have mine. Although our schemes are different, we have no interrelation. I take what is mine, plus, I would definitely support you, including your Zhang family. However, by intervening in my matters now, you’ve breached the rules. You should know, the more you entangle yourself with worldly affairs, the harder it will be for the Zhang family to rid themselves of these grudges. Are you planning to watch the Zhang family fall after you leave?”

”Are you threatening me?” The Martial Champion slowly asked.

”Absolutely not!” The Divine Master hurriedly responded, ”I’m merely clarifying a situation to you, Martial Champion. You should see the current situation. Su Yang has retrieved the Investiture of the Gods from Storm Valley and will release those inside it. The Heavenly Court will emerge from the Investiture. Then I can simply walk away, hide, and slowly pursue my plans. However, those working for me—how many of them will survive? Martial Champion, by involving yourself today, you have implicated yourself in the issues between Su Yang and me. Although you have helped Su Yang, you have ultimately made enemies with those on my side. After you leave, might they not seek revenge against the Zhang family?”

The Martial Champion silently watched the Divine Master, seemingly ignoring his words.

The Divine Master frowned slightly, continuing in a deep tone, ”I know you don’t care about this. Or perhaps you think people from my side, after today’s events, will likely perish entirely and won’t have the capability to seek revenge against the Zhang family. Yes, many will indeed die, but surely there will be some who slip through the net. As they say, one is not afraid of a multitude, but of just one instance—what if any one of them seeks vengeance on the Zhang family?”

”Furthermore, do you truly believe that by assisting Su Yang this time, people on Su Yang’s side will regard the Zhang family as benefactors? Let me tell you this; the deeds you’ve done, people on Su Yang’s side cannot possibly know of them, and they absolutely won’t be grateful to you. On the contrary, Lv Donglin is not dead yet, and his grudge with your Zhang family cannot be resolved in a few words. Do you think Su Yang will help Lv Donglin seek vengeance against your Zhang family then?”

”If today you do not stop me, I’ll bring the Asura Clan into the Human World and first deal with those on Su Yang’s side. In the future, I have my ways to clean up this mess. Then, the Human World will continue to be the Human World, the Zhang family will remain the Zhang family. You can go ahead and do what you wish; I can even sculpt you into a Saint, allowing everyone in the Human World to worship you and make your Zhang family the true king of the Human World!”

The Divine Master grew excited towards the end, his words were enticing even to himself, so how about the Martial Champion?

”Have you finished?” The Martial Champion asked calmly.

The Divine Master looked at the Martial Champion, but the Martial Champion stood in shadow, utterly unreadable to him in expression. Placing his faith in his own wisdom, he nodded slowly, ”I’ve said what needs to be said, Martial Champion, you are a wise man, you should know how to choose!”

The Martial Champion calmly stated, ”Once finished, leave!”

”What did you say!” The Divine Master nearly spat blood; after saying so much, you still respond with this, aren’t you playing with me?

”Is my promise not good enough? What more do you want? Becoming the king of the Human World—is that still not enough? Are you truly planning on letting the Zhang family become mere history after you leave? Martial Champion, you have concealed your talents for so many years, are you truly content with this?” The Divine Master angrily retorted.

”Children and grandchildren have their own fortune!” The Martial Champion responded calmly, ”Over the years, I indeed have been overprotective, causing them to lose their fighting spirit. It’s time for them to train. From today onwards, the Zhang family members will officially begin to journey across the world, engaging with this realm.”

”What?” The Divine Master’s eyes widened, no longer isolating themselves—the Zhang family would start to engage with the world? Isn’t this truly disastrous news for him?

”Martial Champion, you... you will regret your choice!” The Divine Master shouted, teeth clenched furiously.

The Martial Champion calmly looked at the Divine Master, ”Are you planning to make me regret?”

The Divine Master instantly fell silent, if anyone could clearly understand, it was him. The Martial Champion walking out from the Zhang family and the Martial Champion staying in the Zhang family were completely different entities.

Within the Zhang family, the Martial Champion was merely a title, the top expert beneath the Land Immortals.

However, once the Martial Champion steps out of the Zhang family, the title turns into reality. Because at that moment, he truly does kill!

Though strong, the Divine Master was well-aware of the immense disparity between himself and the Martial Champion. Provoking the Martial Champion at this stage would be extraordinarily unwise.

Taking a deep breath, the Divine Master cautiously stepped back several paces, speaking in a deep tone, ”Martial Champion, I shall see what fate awaits the Zhang family!”

”Hope you’ll see it!” The Martial Champion replied evenly.

The Divine Master’s expression grew more distorted, biting his lip but ultimately refraining from further threats, eventually storming out of the basement.

Watching the Divine Master depart at a distance, the Martial Champion finally led Mahakaya out of the basement. Closing the basement door, he directly flew towards the Zhang family.

He knew once the Divine Master had left the basement, he wouldn’t dare return again. For if he did, he would be forfeiting his life!

Indeed, after leaving the basement, the Divine Master didn’t even linger at Qinghe Academy. Silently gathering a few trusted followers, he left Qinghe Academy swiftly and unnoticed.

Unable to unlock the passageway to the Eight Realms meant he couldn’t wreak havoc in the Human World. Once Su Yang unveiled the Investiture of the Gods, his side would surely be at a disadvantage. If he continued to stay at Qinghe Academy, he truly would be trapped. Thus, leaving promptly before Su Yang made a move was the priority.

As for those remaining at Qinghe Academy—they weren’t his trusted followers—so why would he concern himself with their fate?
