Supreme Warrior in the City

Su Yang chuckled, ”Half a year is still an understatement. This matter won’t be so easy to negotiate.”

”Oh?” The Dean looked at Su Yang with confusion, not understanding why Su Yang was so confident.

”For the Seven Realms to enter the Human World, they must pass through the Heavenly Road. And to pass through the Heavenly Road, they must go through the Heavenly Realm.” Su Yang smiled, ”In this negotiation, the Heavenly Realm is at a disadvantage. Out of four maps, they might not even get one. Yet, the Heavenly Realm is the strongest among the Nine Realms. Would they accept this outcome? Therefore, the Heavenly Realm will surely use the need for the Seven Realms to enter the Human World through the Heavenly Road as an excuse to negotiate with the Seven Realms, aiming to obtain one map.”

”The people from the Seven Realms are exceptionally smart, and naturally understand the intentions of the Heavenly Realm. Moreover, the Seven Realms wish to kick the Heavenly Realm out because the Heavenly Realm, being the strongest among the Nine Realms, poses a threat to them once it enters the Feather Spirit Palace. Hence, the Seven Realms are unwilling to give the Heavenly Realm a map. Therefore, this negotiation between the Heavenly Realm and the Seven Realms will be tough and will last a long time. The Seven Realms probably need to unite together to enter the Human World through the Heavenly Realm!”

Seeing Su Yang’s point, the Dean finally understood what he meant. He also laughed, saying, ”According to you, half a year might not be enough!”

”Exactly! You have time now to cultivate in the World Melting Furnace.” Su Yang laughed, ”Take this time to stay in the World Melting Furnace and quickly enhance your power. By the time the Seven Realms and Heavenly Realm manage to negotiate and enter the Human World, our Qinghe Academy will have the qualifications to stand side by side with them!”

”You’re right!” The Dean nodded vigorously, looking at the others, he said loudly, ”Given this situation, let’s stay in the World Melting Furnace for now. However, Qinghe Academy needs someone to guard it. Let’s take turns going back to Qinghe Academy to ensure we are prepared for any sudden events!”

Everyone nodded in agreement, glad to have this time to cultivate.

Most of these people had shown no progress in power since being injured, even regressing. They were all geniuses of their era; how could they settle for such a predicament?

Now, finally having a chance to boost their power, everyone was naturally joyous.

After settling everyone, Su Yang gathered three Crystal Skulls and asked them to lead him to find the Heavenly Sect.

Su Yang desperately needed some Spirit Liquid Essence, but to use it, he must have enough Spirit Liquid.

Su Yang knew of two Spirit Liquid Lakes, one in the Rongshi Furnace Valley and another in the Feather Spirit Palace.

Su Yang couldn’t freely extract Spirit Liquid from either lake. After all, each one had a guardian, and he still remembered the beating the three Crystal Skulls received from the vines in one of them, so he dared not try again.

Thus, he figured the best place was the Spirit Liquid Lake inside the Heavenly Sect.

Su Yang didn’t know if the Spirit Liquid Lake in the Heavenly Sect would have a guardian, but remembering how the three Crystal Skulls went in and out unscathed, he was reassured. The Spirit Liquid Lake in the Heavenly Sect probably didn’t pose much trouble.

The three Crystal Skulls felt reluctant, having initially intended to make the Heavenly Sect their own backyard. Yet, having revealed its existence to Su Yang, they had no choice but to take him there.

They knew if Su Yang went to the Heavenly Sect, it would probably become his turf.

Nonetheless, considering they’d be sticking with Su Yang in the future, they relented.

Regardless of the Heavenly Sect’s fate, the crucial thing was survival. With so many enemies, what would they do without Su Yang as a rock of reliance?

Though reluctant, the trio dutifully led Su Yang to the Heavenly Sect.

Upon arrival, Su Yang was truly astonished. He had been there before but never imagined the existence of the Heavenly Sect there.

Standing on the edge of the cliff, gazing at the Heavenly Sect looming amidst the mist, Su Yang felt his power surging, as if summoned by something.

Moreover, the illusion that had lain dormant since the Feather Spirit Palace now made its presence known to Su Yang.

Or rather, Su Yang sensed the emotions of the illusion—it seemed enraged. What circumstance could have led to such a feeling? Could it be there was an enemy of the illusion within the Heavenly Sect?

”Here we are!” The Second City Lord explained, ”There’s an array hidden in the mist, which we can pass through to enter the Heavenly Sect. But this array is tricky. We’ll take you in, but you must follow our signals...”

Before the Second City Lord could finish, Su Yang had stepped into the void, rushing into the mist.

”Brother!” The three Crystal Skulls cried in unison, the Great City Lord nervously following, ”Don’t run amok, the mist itself is an array with great power. Inside, there’s a stele with even greater power; if you get too close...”

Before the Great City Lord could finish, a mighty roar emanated from the mist.

This roar was exponentially more powerful than their previous visit’s tiger and dragon cries.

Compared to this roar, their previous sounds were but faint murmurs. This time, it seemed thoroughly enraged, as if ready to attack.

Sure enough, shortly after entering the mist, a black dragon lunged from it, roaring furiously at Su Yang.

”Brother!” The Great City Lord shouted urgently, ”Run!”

Su Yang not only refused to run, but even charged towards the black dragon.

”I...” The Great City Lord almost spat blood, not knowing what the black dragon was. But he felt its intimidating power.

Even with his strength, the Great City Lord found the black dragon’s aura overwhelming, making it hard to breathe. In these circumstances, Su Yang challenging it head-on—was he insane?

Truthfully, Su Yang didn’t want to take such risks. But the problem was he couldn’t control his body.

His leap into the mist wasn’t even his doing. At that moment, he felt the illusion’s power had taken control, leading him into the mist.
