Supreme Warrior in the City

This situation continued for five months, and on this day, while Su Yang was cultivating, an envoy of the Jinghong Saint King arrived.

The envoys of the Jinghong Saint King had already been replaced. However, when these envoys saw Su Yang, they were all extremely respectful, their eyes filled with admiration.

There was no other way; Su Yang had already become the hero of the Demon Beast Clan, revered by all demon beasts.

Moreover, Su Yang’s strength was progressing rapidly, and he was highly likely to advance to become a Saint King, possibly even a Saint Emperor. Naturally, these envoys were very respectful to Su Yang.

The Jinghong Saint King sent these envoys to invite Su Yang to Jinghong City.

Su Yang was puzzled as to why the Jinghong Saint King wanted him to go to Jinghong City at this time. Did it mean that the matter had been resolved? But was it handled this quickly? He hadn’t heard anything, and yet it was resolved so soon?

With doubts in his mind, Su Yang headed straight for Jinghong City.

Entering the Royal Hall, the Jinghong Saint King was waiting there. Besides him, there were also five other Saint Kings, all on par with the Jinghong Saint King, indicating their high status.

As soon as Su Yang entered, the Jinghong Saint King immediately stood up and laughed heartily as he came forward to greet him.

”Jiushi, you’ve arrived!” the Jinghong Saint King said with a smile. ”Just in time, as the envoys are all waiting here as well.”

Su Yang looked at the five Saint Kings. Were these the envoys? What matter required so many envoys to be sent?

”These are the envoys from our dynasty and four nearby dynasties!” explained the Jinghong Saint King. ”Because of this matter, the Saint Emperors have all praised you highly and specially sent envoys to commend you!”

Su Yang was surprised. Did these five dynasties really send envoys to commend him? What did this mean? Was the matter this pleasing to the Saint Emperors?

Nonetheless, Su Yang maintained a happy demeanor, quickly bowing to thank these Saint Kings.

The five envoys came over, exchanged pleasantries, and then got to the point.

”Jiushi, this time, our Demon Beast Clan has finally achieved a victory!” the Jinghong Saint King said. ”The Guardian God was initially very firm, demanding that we hand over you and all the demon beasts of Liu Yao City for them to handle. However, under the collective resistance of all demon beasts and the firm demands of the Saint Emperors, the Guardian God eventually compromised. They will no longer pursue this matter. As for those Beast Tamers before, we have avenged those four Holy Beasts!”

Su Yang was astonished. Could this matter really have been resolved so quickly?

In Su Yang’s view, appeasing the anger of so many demon beasts wasn’t an easy task for the vast Demon Beast Clan. Moreover, the Guardian God was such a formidable presence—it was unexpected that they would compromise so quickly. Who would have thought that the Guardian God would yield so soon?

”That’s excellent!” Su Yang’s face naturally showed sheer joy. ”Our Demon Beast Clan has finally achieved a victory in the confrontation against the Guardian God. It’s no longer just us compromising with them. Although it is only a small victory, it’s of great significance to us!”

”Exactly so!” the Jinghong Saint King nodded. ”For years, our Demon Beast Clan has continually chosen to yield. We’ve been trampled underfoot by the Guardian God for too long. Many demon beasts have forgotten how to resist, and many have begun to feel that we are destined to be trampled by them. But why should this be? Our Demon Beast Clan is not weaker than the Guardian God, and they have no right to trample us. This time, it is to show the Demon Beast Clan that when we unite, it is the Guardian God who needs to compromise with us, not us with them!”

The envoys beside them all nodded, their faces full of joyful expressions.

The Jinghong Saint King delivered a rousing speech and finally turned to Su Yang, saying, ”However, although the Guardian God compromised this time, they still want to send an envoy to your Liu Yao City. It seems they still want to investigate what really happened this time. So I called you here mainly to tell you about this. You don’t need to worry too much about it. The Guardian God’s envoy wouldn’t dare to do much. If they go too far, you can simply show them the door. Of course, if they don’t overstep, a bit of cooperation would do no harm. After all, they initially broke the rules, and they’ve already compromised. Their investigation won’t mean much!”

Although the Jinghong Saint King tried to reassure Su Yang, his heart was not at ease. On the contrary, he felt a vague sense of worry.

Since the Guardian God had compromised and given in, what would be the point of investigating this matter? If they had already compromised, what difference would the results of an investigation make? Could they overturn the situation?

Although Su Yang had never met the Guardian God, he could surmise that the Guardian God would not engage in meaningless endeavors. If they wanted to overturn the situation from the beginning, they wouldn’t have compromised. Choosing to compromise meant accepting the outcome, indicating they wouldn’t send someone for investigation.

Therefore, the Guardian God sending an envoy to investigate must not be as simple as the Jinghong Saint King suggested. Su Yang suspected that there was definitely an issue here, possibly related to the earlier incident of Commander Wu Ke’s explosion to transmit information.

Although that final white light was swallowed by an illusion and the message couldn’t be transmitted, according to Commander Wu Ke, that white light should have been left by the Guardian God, specifically used to transmit messages at critical moments.

This means that if Commander Wu Ke self-destructed, the Guardian God might have sensed something.

And the Guardian God likely sensed Commander Wu Ke’s self-destruction, suspecting that something very crucial had happened, hence sending an envoy to investigate.

It was claimed to be an investigation of the incident, but bluntly speaking, it was to find out why Commander Wu Ke self-destructed.

With this in mind, Su Yang suddenly became alert.

This matter must not be known by the Guardian God. Otherwise, the Nine Realms would surely be doomed!

If the item which all Guardian Gods of the Three Thousand Great Worlds are searching for is indeed within the Nine Realms, and the Guardian God learns of it, what then?

If that happens, it might not just be the Guardian God of one Great World coming to the Nine Realms, but could possibly attract the Guardian Gods of the Three Thousand Great Worlds. How terrifying would that be? At that time, even sparking a war between the Demon Beast Clan and the Guardian Gods wouldn’t be able to protect the Nine Realms!
