Supreme Warrior in the City

”It’s not about whether we encounter our enemies, but following him has a future!” the Great City Lord said. ”Putting aside other things, just the illusion behind him, what do you think could exist?”

The Second City Lord and the Third City Lord shivered all over, recalling the illusion behind Su Yang, they couldn’t help but feel an urge to kneel in their hearts.

It was an instinctive fear and reverence, they didn’t even know why they felt this way. Perhaps, in their previous lives, they knew the identity of the illusion, and had this attitude towards the illusion back then. This fear and reverence had been etched into their bones.

Therefore, although they couldn’t remember the identity of the illusion, they still couldn’t help but want to kneel!

The Great City Lord continued, ”We probably have countless enemies out there, and at this time, shouldn’t we quickly find a backer to follow? Are you really ready to be turned into skeletons?”

The Second City Lord and the Third City Lord immediately agreed. The Second City Lord hurriedly said, ”Big brother is right, returning to follow Su Yang now is the best decision. It doesn’t matter who that illusion is, the fact that he can even contend with the presence in the Feather Spirit Palace indicates this illusion is not simple at all. Following such a backer, even if our enemies come after us, they have to think twice about whether they can handle us!”

The Third City Lord hesitated and whispered, ”Big brother, Su Yang has always wanted that Spirit Liquid Essence. If we go back, wouldn’t we have to give it to him?”

The Great City Lord was speechless, ”What’s more important, Spirit Liquid Essence or life?”

”Of course, life is more important!” the Third City Lord immediately replied.

”That’s exactly it!” the Great City Lord said. ”Moreover, when we go back, we don’t have to give him all the Spirit Liquid Essence. Just hand over a portion to him. How would he know how much of this Spirit Liquid Essence we actually acquired? Using a small amount of Spirit Liquid Essence to secure a backer for the future, isn’t it worth it?”

The Second City Lord and the Third City Lord both brightened up and nodded simultaneously, ”You’re thorough as always, big brother. Give him some Spirit Liquid Essence, he’s bound to treat us with respect. In the future, we won’t have to fear our enemies!”

”This matter is settled!” the Great City Lord said. ”First, take out most of the Spirit Liquid Essence and hide it away. Leave a small portion in the gourd; that way, we have an explanation when we get back!”

”Alright!” The Second City Lord and the Third City Lord immediately took action, quickly extracting ninety percent of the Spirit Liquid Essence and hiding it. Only a tenth was left in the gourd.

Even so, the Spirit Liquid Essence left in there was still considerable.

After all, they had absorbed at least a tenth of that Spirit Liquid Lake at the time. Such a massive lake, a tenth of the liquid, how terrifying the amount must be. Condensed into Spirit Liquid Essence, the Spiritual Energy was even more abundant; naturally, the quantity of the Spirit Liquid Essence wasn’t small.

The three of them, carrying the remaining Spirit Liquid Essence, went back after some struggling.

During this period, Su Yang was handling matters in the Human World and wasn’t in the World Melting Furnace. Although the three of them had been out for twenty or thirty days, in the Human World, it was merely two or three days. In these two or three days, Su Yang hadn’t entered the World Melting Furnace, so he was unaware of their escapade.

There were quite a few in the World Melting Furnace, but these three were usually holed up in Su Yang’s courtyard. Since Su Yang wasn’t around, no one visited his courtyard, therefore no one knew about their little journey.

After their return, the three immediately sent someone to inform Su Yang, claiming they had some great news to share.

By then, Su Yang had finished most of his external matters and was planning to return to the World Melting Furnace. Upon receiving the message, he returned straight away.

Seeing the three of them, Su Yang was dumbfounded. Their transformation was indeed striking.

Originally, when these three emerged from the City of Death, they were entirely skeletal, lacking any flesh.

After coming out, they absorbed nature’s spiritual energy, consumed a lot of elixir pills, bathed in spiritual liquid, and after a long time, traces of flesh appeared on them. At their absorption rate, it might take a hundred years or so to fully restore their previous appearance.

But now, not only had their flesh doubled, the most notable change was in their skeletal structure.

They still had those crystalline skeletons, but now these bones seemed more lustrous as if impurities were being removed, leaving them increasingly pure.

Su Yang didn’t understand what was happening. Their changes were so significant. In merely two or three days outside, equivalent to twenty or thirty days in the World Melting Furnace, why had they transformed so much?

After a moment of silence, Su Yang suddenly glanced at the gourd above their heads.

If anything could cause such a change in such a short period, the only possibility would be the Spirit Liquid Essence produced by the gourd.

Yet, hadn’t these three claimed the gourd couldn’t produce Spirit Liquid Essence? Were they deceiving him all along?

Su Yang stared at them for a while. He believed they wouldn’t lie to him. It wasn’t about trusting them but knowing they wouldn’t dare lie to the illusion.

Puzzled and unable to reach a conclusion, Su Yang decided to stop guessing and directly asked, ”You three, is there something you want to tell me?”

”Big brother, take a look at this!” The Second City Lord eagerly handed the gourd to Su Yang.

Su Yang reached for the gourd, intending to hold it in his hand. Unexpectedly, as soon as he touched it, it felt as if he were holding a mountain, causing his arm to sink.

With his formidable strength, Su Yang managed to support the weight of the gourd in time. However, even holding it in his hand, he felt a bit of a strain!

”What’s going on?” Su Yang widened his eyes in surprise, ”Why is this gourd so heavy?”

”Ah, I forgot to mention it!” The Second City Lord hurriedly explained, ”These three gourds are very heavy. We don’t know why, but they’re hard to handle!”

Su Yang hefted the gourd, even more intrigued. This gourd was certainly out of the ordinary.

”What am I supposed to see?” Su Yang turned the gourd over, examining it on all sides.

”Look inside the gourd!” The Second City Lord instructed.

Su Yang raised the gourd, peering into the opening, but said blankly, ”There’s nothing here!”
