Supreme Warrior in the City

The Second City Lord still had a face of opposition: ”Long Qiu, you make it sound so easy. If the Sacred Emperor’s treasure house is so easy to rob, why haven’t their enemies come to take it away when these Sacred Emperors are absent? Don’t these Sacred Emperors take precautions against such things?”

”Nonsense!” Long Qiu glared at him: ”Do you think those enemies don’t want to do that? The problem is, they can’t. Don’t forget, these Sacred Emperors were injured in a great battle with the Ling Feng God. To some extent, they are the heroes of the Demon Beast Clan. They went to the Great Saint Emperor to heal their wounds and are under his protection. At this time, if any enemy dared to rob their treasure house, it would be a direct challenge to the Great Saint Emperor. Do you think any enemy would dare to do such a thing?”

”Uh...” The Second City Lord was momentarily speechless.

Su Yang pondered for a while and nodded slowly: ”Long Qiu is right. This is an opportunity worth trying!”

”Boss, isn’t this a bit risky?” the Second City Lord whispered: ”Even if the Sacred Emperors aren’t in the Imperial City, there must still be many Saint Kings guarding it. If so many Saint Kings are indeed drawn out, we could be in big trouble. Once we’re surrounded by these Saint Kings, escaping would be difficult. And if the Sacred Emperors rush back, then... then we would truly be unable to escape...”

”Leave that to me!” Su Yang said softly: ”I can disguise myself as a Saint King and sneak in. As long as I can get the Sacred Emperor’s treasure house in the shortest time, retreating wouldn’t be a problem. The biggest issue now is how to find the Sacred Emperor’s treasure house in the shortest time!”

Long Qiu looked at the three Crystal Skulls, and the Great City Lord nodded slowly: ”Leave that to us. As long as we can enter the Imperial Hall, we can definitely find the treasure house within half an hour!”

”Then there’s no problem!” Su Yang nodded with satisfaction.

Long Qiu listed the names of the Sacred Emperors still recuperating with the Great Saint Emperor and then singled out a few names.

”Boss, you don’t need to consider these; you can look at the other Sacred Emperors,” Long Qiu said.

”Why not these?” The Second City Lord asked curiously, ”Are they very close to you?”

Long Qiu glanced at him and said, ”These dynasties have more than one Sacred Emperor. Although the leading Sacred Emperors are injured and resting with the Great Saint Emperor, other Sacred Emperors are still stationed within the Imperial City and haven’t left!”

”Is that so?” the Second City Lord was surprised, ”Isn’t there usually only one Sacred Emperor in a dynasty? Would another Sacred Emperor be willing to be subordinate to them?”

”It’s not about being subordinate or not!” Long Qiu shook his head: ”The situation where these Sacred Emperors are together is not as simple as you think. They might be family, like this Sacred Emperor, who, after becoming a Sacred Emperor, provided cultivation resources to their own child, enabling the child to also ascend to Sacred Emperor. In such cases, do you think the child would begrudge working for them? And there’s also the Sacred Emperor who is a long-time brother, cultivating together before either became a Holy Beast, supporting each other until now, and both have become Sacred Emperors. They manage the entire dynasty’s affairs together, so it’s not unusual to run a dynasty together. In fact, when a dynasty has two Sacred Emperors, its strength and influence can surpass those with fewer Sacred Emperors. In the Demon Beast Clan, it’s not uncommon for dynasties to have two Sacred Emperors!”

Su Yang nodded. He had encountered such situations before and didn’t find it strange.

Excluding the places still guarded by Sacred Emperors, only five dynasties were left. Su Yang asked Long Qiu to introduce each of these five dynasties, and in the end, Su Yang chose one called the Yingming Dynasty.

The Yingming Dynasty’s Sacred Emperor had moderate strength, and it was relatively close to where Su Yang and his group were, while it was quite far from the Great Saint Emperor. Most importantly, this Sacred Emperor had been severely injured in the last battle, barely escaping with their life. It was estimated that recovery would take three to five hundred years.

Hence, choosing the Yingming Sacred Emperor was the most suitable.

Having made their decision, Su Yang and his companions quickly changed their aura and headed straight for the Yingming Dynasty.

Of course, although Su Yang chose the Yingming Dynasty because it was relatively close, it was still quite a distance. If Su Yang were to tear through space to get there, it would take at least a year.

Therefore, Su Yang and his group opted to use a Teleportation Gate. Though it consumed a lot of Spiritual Sources, it significantly increased their speed.

To use the Teleportation Gate, Su Yang specifically transformed into a Saint King registered under the Great Venerable Dynasty. The Teleportation Gate they planned to use was established by the Demon Beast Clan and could only be used by Saint King-level or higher experts from the Demon Beast Clan.

If Su Yang transformed into an unknown Saint King, he would surely need to go through registration. So, he simply took on the form of a registered Saint King of the Great Venerable Dynasty to make using the Teleportation Gate much easier.

Having seen Jinghong Saint King use the Teleportation Gate before, this task was particularly simple for Su Yang.

Effortlessly deceiving the Teleportation Gate’s guards, he and his companions were transported to a Teleportation Gate near the Yingming Dynasty. Even so, Su Yang had to traverse space over a hundred times to reach the Yingming Dynasty.

Concealing his aura, Su Yang led his group directly to the Royal City of the Yingming Dynasty.

Outside the Royal City, Su Yang initially wanted to observe the area but sensed guards from the Yingming Dynasty approaching. Not daring to directly confront the guards, Su Yang quickly retreated to avoid alerting them.

For a while, Su Yang and his group hid in a nearby Royal City of a Saint King.

The Saint King’s name was Saint King Xiangyun, not very powerful but reputedly related to the Yingming Sacred Emperor, allowing him to reign as king not far from the Royal City.

Su Yang spent half a year studying the details of Saint King Xiangyun, including his secrets. Once Su Yang had fully grasped everything about Saint King Xiangyun, he acted on a night.

Using an Array, he sealed off Saint King Xiangyun’s Royal Hall and quietly infiltrated it.

Saint King Xiangyun was weak, realizing something was amiss only when Su Yang was already at his side. Before he could understand what was happening, Su Yang had already slain and devoured him.

Afterward, Su Yang removed the Array and transformed into Saint King Xiangyun’s form, temporarily residing in the Royal Hall.
