Supreme Warrior in the City

The Heavenly Court Master walked out of the Investiture of the Gods only after the thirty-eighth flag flew out, indicating that his power was somewhat weaker than the third-generation Martial God. Exactly how much weaker can be judged from the flags; there seems to be a difference of two flags.

Afterwards, more people successively walked out of the Investiture of the Gods.

When the fortieth flag appeared, the dean walked out. At the forty-second flag, the Lord of the North of the Heavenly Court and Xu Fenghou simultaneously stepped out, showing that these two also have extremely strong powers.

At the forty-fifth flag, a man with a stern look walked out. This man was missing a finger on each of his hands; it was Qi Bachi!

When the forty-sixth flag appeared, several acquaintances of Su Yang, including Yuan Tiangang and Wu Daozi, also walked out one after another. This demonstrates that these people are not weak, but simply choose not to show it usually.

Of course, there were also some people with very weak powers, who only walked out after nearly all the flags had flown out.

Once these people walked out, they spontaneously divided into two sides to stand.

The numbers on Huaxia’s side were more than three times that of the Heavenly Court’s side.

Naturally, the numbers on the Heavenly Court’s side were not entirely made up of people from the Heavenly Realm; a large portion of them were Law Enforcers.

Those Law Enforcers who remain in the Human World stay either because their power is not strong enough or because they are extremely loyal to the Heavenly Court. Thus, these people stand by the Heavenly Court’s side.

After the third-generation Martial God appeared, he confronted the Heavenly Court Master briefly before retreating to the rear. Next, standing opposite the Heavenly Court Master was still the dean.

Watching as everyone walked out of the Investiture of the Gods, the dean looked at the Heavenly Court Master with a mild smile and gently said, ”Immortal Elder, apologies, your plan has failed again this time. According to our previous agreement, the number of visits from the Heavenly Realm to the Human World will be halved this time. Previously it was ten people, now it can only be five!”

The Heavenly Court Master appeared calm, seemingly unfazed by this defeat. He glanced quietly at Su Yang and said steadily, ”Victory and defeat are commonplace in this, the unexpected occurrence this time caught us off guard. As for the Divine Master, this person had previously concealed his true talents, deceiving not just me, but even the assassins. This person is indeed capable of grand schemes, ambitious, and deeply calculating, making him quite formidable. However, I did not expect Su Zhan’s son to manage such accomplishments, surviving under the Divine Master’s tactics to achieve so many feats, even taking the Investiture of the Gods out of Storm Valley, truly astonishing. A loss is a loss, henceforth, the number from the Heavenly Realm visiting the Human World annually will be five people!”

”Agreed!” The dean laughed heartily, ”Handling things gracefully, Immortal Elder indeed earns my admiration!”

The Heavenly Court Master did not respond, instead, he turned to Su Yang and spoke lightly, ”Su Alliance Leader, may I ask you one question?”

”Go ahead.” Su Yang nodded.

”What exactly happened within Kunlun Mountain?” asked the Heavenly Court Master, perplexed, ”Why has the Feather Spirit Palace experienced abnormal fluctuations, even Storm Valley as well?”

Su Yang frowned slightly and countered, ”You had the Investiture of the Gods, shouldn’t you be able to observe global affairs?”

”We can observe, but some places are too strongly sealed, with overwhelmingly powerful forces, rendering us unable to see,” replied the Heavenly Court Master, ”Regarding the situation inside Kunlun Mountain, we are blind.”

”Nothing much, I just visited the Turquoise Pool briefly.” Su Yang shrugged.

”What!?” The Heavenly Court Master suddenly widened his eyes, exclaiming in shock, ”You entered the Turquoise Pool, how... how is that possible?”

”Why is it impossible?” Su Yang retorted decisively.

”Then what did you see inside the Turquoise Pool, and what is the situation in the Feather Spirit Palace?” the Heavenly Court Master hurriedly inquired.

”Immortal Elder, this is already your third question,” the dean smiled lightly, ”Immortal Elder, surely you are not going back on your word?”

Su Yang realized that the dean didn’t want him to divulge too much information about the Turquoise Pool, so he refrained from speaking further.

The Heavenly Court Master sighed gently, somewhat regretful, and said, ”So be it. Since this is the case, we shall part ways here. Dean, since we lost this time, the status quo in the Human World remains unchanged, and my Heavenly Court will continue to uphold the responsibility of enforcing the Human World’s rules!”

”Don’t leave yet!” the dean stopped the Heavenly Court Master, smiling, ”Su Alliance Leader also mentioned earlier that the Divine Master’s group is a scourge. Now that everyone is out, shouldn’t we discuss how to address these people?”

”The Divine Master’s group consists of Human Clan cultivators; it is rather your own clan’s matter and has nothing to do with my Heavenly Court.” said the Heavenly Court Master, ”These things do not require our consultation!”

Su Yang furrowed his brow; the Heavenly Court plans not to involve itself in this issue, wanting the Huaxia Land Immortals to battle the Divine Master’s group to mutual destruction. Indeed, the Heavenly Court Master is an old fox, crafty in words and deeds.

”But these people killed so many mortals, severely disrupting the Heavenly Court’s regulations. According to the rules, shouldn’t the Heavenly Court address this matter?” the dean smiled mildly, ”Immortal Elder, adhering to the regulations, this should be the Heavenly Court’s affair, shouldn’t it?”

Su Yang smiled immediately, realizing the dean was no pushover either. It seems, the Heavenly Court’s intention to safely watch the conflict from afar is thwarted.

The Heavenly Court Master furrowed his brow, indeed unable to counter this point—the matter truly belongs to the Heavenly Court. The problem, however, is that the Divine Master’s side still has many members, and addressing this issue would cost the Heavenly Court considerably.

”Since it involves the Human Clan, it also involves the Heavenly Court’s business, so let’s not dismiss it!” declared the Heavenly Court Master, ”With us gathered together aptly, let’s discuss how to resolve this matter.”

”That would be ideal!” the dean nodded with a smile, ”First, let me say, the Heavenly Court must not protect those four Major Sects any longer!”

”Naturally!” nodded the Heavenly Court Master, though he left the four Major Sects, originally planning to disturb the Human World’s order. As events transpired, what they did was absurdly pathetic, and then they defected to the Divine Master, equating to betrayal. How could he continue to protect the four Major Sects?

”As for those overseas practitioners...” the dean took a slight breath, ”I personally suggest killing a small portion and leaving the majority. It’s wiser to kill a few to warn the many than to wage a mutually destructive battle. After all, given their numbers, if it comes to direct confrontation, we’ll have to pay a significant price!”

The Heavenly Court Master contemplated briefly before suddenly saying solemnly, ”The Divine Master must not be spared!”

The dean smiled, nodding, ”Naturally, this person is excessively ambitious, with an obscure origin, thus cannot be spared. This person must be killed!”
