Supreme Warrior in the City

Su Yang quickly retreated as the explosive force directly broke open the sealed space. Following closely, a surge of power rushed out from this space, which was the message sent out by the Mammoth Saint Venerable with his last breath.

This was a message sent with the life of the Mammoth Saint Venerable. Even if Su Yang wanted to chase it, he couldn’t, and could only watch as the message disappeared into the horizon.

Witnessing all this, a barely noticeable cold smile crossed Su Yang’s face.

This was the result he truly desired!

He wasn’t a Beast Tamer, so naturally, he wouldn’t avenge Commander Wu Ke. What he wanted was to incite a war between the Demon Beast Clan and the Guardian God.

Also, earlier, Su Yang intentionally pretended to be deceived by the Mammoth Saint Venerable and then ambushed him. This was all to ensure the Mammoth Saint Venerable was convinced that Su Yang was truly afraid of him spreading the message. In this way, the message spread by the Mammoth Saint Venerable would become more believable to other demon beasts, deceiving even more of them!

Taking advantage of the other demon beasts’ distraction, Su Yang quietly left Mammoth City and found a place to temporarily hide.

At the same time, Saint Venerable Yuqing used the Round Disc to tear through space and rushed to Jinghong City.

At present, Jinghong City was still peaceful, its demon beasts unaware of what had transpired in Liu Yao City and Mammoth City.

As soon as Saint Venerable Yuqing arrived, several City Guards stopped him.

Saint Venerable Yuqing explained his purpose, and the City Guards immediately led him to the Royal City to meet with the Jinghong Saint King.

The Jinghong Saint King had never met Saint Venerable Yuqing before, but that was understandable, given there were just too many Saint Venerables under his command. Hundreds of them, and occasionally some new Saint Venerables would challenge the veteran ones, taking their place. So, it was normal he hadn’t met a newcomer.

”They just announced that you have news about Saint Venerable Jiushi to report?” Jinghong Saint King frowned at Saint Venerable Yuqing, ”What exactly is the news?”

The Jinghong Saint King disliked those who stabbed others in the back, especially now that he particularly favored Su Yang. Therefore, if anyone came to talk about Su Yang, he would naturally be displeased. He had already resolved that if Saint Venerable Yuqing dared to falsely accuse Su Yang, he would not let him off.

Saint Venerable Yuqing remained calm and bowed, ”Saint King, I am a neighbor of Saint Venerable Jiushi, and we usually have a good relationship. I became a Saint Venerable with his help.”

Jinghong Saint King nodded, ”So, what news do you have to report about him?”

”I was cultivating earlier when I suddenly received a message from Saint Venerable Jiushi. I don’t know if the message is true or false, so I came here to let the Saint King decide,” said Saint Venerable Yuqing.

”What’s the message?” Jinghong Saint King frowned, ”You’ve been talking for so long without addressing the main point?”

”A message from Saint Venerable Jiushi says that the Beast Tamer who went to his place has a problem. His strength might not be as simple as a Saint King; he could very likely surpass a Saint Emperor!” Saint Venerable Yuqing said.

”What!?” Jinghong Saint King was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, ”Impossible, this was agreed upon by the Saint Emperor and the Guardian God. The one sent for the investigation can only be a Saint King. Is Jiushi mistaken?”

”Saint Venerable Jiushi sent another message…” Saint Venerable Yuqing paused and said in a low voice, ”He said that it wasn’t he who killed Commander Wu Ke!”

”Ah?” Jinghong Saint King’s eyes widened as he stared at Saint Venerable Yuqing for a while, seemingly pondering whether what Saint Venerable Yuqing said was true or false.

”This is truly a message from Saint Venerable Jiushi!” Saint Venerable Yuqing said, ”Saint Venerable Jiushi mentioned that the death of Commander Wu Ke was rather strange. He was killed by an Illusion, but at that time, Saint Venerable Jiushi didn’t know how to report this matter, so he could only say he did it. However, the Beast Tamer investigating him somehow knows about this Illusion and has been asking around about it. So, Saint Venerable Jiushi suspects that the Beast Tamer’s investigation is not about the previous matters, but about this Illusion!”

”Illusion!?” Jinghong Saint King’s expression changed slightly, ”What illusion?”

”I don’t know either. Saint Venerable Jiushi just mentioned it was an Illusion with a knife that killed Commander Wu Ke, but he didn’t see anything else clearly,” Saint Venerable Yuqing said, ”Saint Venerable Jiushi sent a message asking me to immediately report this to you, hoping you can inform the Saint Emperor as soon as possible. Because he suspects the Beast Tamer is not simple, and their motives for coming here are impure, they might do something else. He can’t leave, and could only have me deliver this message!”

”An Illusion with a knife!?” Jinghong Saint King furrowed his brows, thinking about something. After a while, he suddenly stood up and said solemnly, ”Immediately send someone to Liu Yao City to bring Saint Venerable Jiushi to Jinghong City!”

”Yes!” The guard at the door immediately ran out.

Saint Venerable Yuqing hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice, ”Saint King, should we inform the Saint Emperor as well? According to Saint Venerable Jiushi, that Beast Tamer Commander could very well be the Guardian God in disguise!”

Jinghong Saint King frowned and pondered for a moment, then said solemnly, ”Send someone to inform the Saint Emperor, stating there’s a problem with the person the Guardian God sent for the investigation!”

”Yes!” Another guard ran out.

The Jinghong Saint King paced back and forth in the room, extremely anxious. If the investigator this time really had issues, then Saint Venerable Jiushi would be in danger.

Just when he was extremely worried, a sudden light shot in from outside.

Jinghong Saint King waved his hand, and the light fell into his hand; it was precisely the message sent by the Mammoth Saint Venerable upon his death.

Feeling the message content, Jinghong Saint King’s face changed significantly. He finally believed what Saint Venerable Yuqing had said.

”The Guardian God dares to play such tricks!” Jinghong Saint King said angrily, pulling out the Round Disc, preparing to go to Su Yang’s place.

But at this moment, a few people suddenly rushed in from outside. The leader urgently said as soon as he entered: ”Saint King, there’s been an incident. We just arrived at Liu Yao City only to discover that Liu Yao City is no longer there. The entire place seems to have been wiped out by some immense power, leaving nothing behind!”

”What!?” Jinghong Saint King’s expression changed drastically, ”What about Saint Venerable Jiushi?”

”We couldn’t find Saint Venerable Jiushi!” They shook their heads.

The Jinghong Saint King was momentarily stunned, then his expression turned icy. He used the Round Disc to tear through space, instantly reaching Liu Yao City.

Upon arrival, Jinghong Saint King saw that everything was just as reported, Liu Yao City had indeed vanished entirely.

Moreover, Jinghong Saint King sensed an immensely powerful aura on the scene. This aura, as Su Yang had said, was far beyond what a Saint King could reach!
