Supreme Warrior in the City

”I’m just a servant...” the old man spoke slowly. ”As for my name, I don’t even remember it myself.”

”Whose servant are you then?” the Second City Lord asked loudly.

The old man’s face exhibited boundless respect as he spoke clearly, ”My master is called the First God!”

”First God?” Su Yang’s expression changed slightly, not knowing exactly who this First God was. However, anyone bestowed with such a name must not be ordinary.

Because, if you lack this strength, yet dare to claim such a name, there will be plenty who find you disagreeable. To use this title and command respect implies unparalleled power among the elite!

”First God?” The three Crystal Skulls were also taken aback.

”Have you heard of it?” Su Yang asked curiously.

The three Crystal Skulls simultaneously shook their heads, the Great City Lord said, ”It just feels somewhat familiar, as if I’ve known it.”

”Then do you know it or not?” Su Yang wondered.

”If we know it, it’s something from the previous life!” the Second City Lord said, ”Otherwise, we wouldn’t even have such memories!”

”Things from the previous life...” Su Yang frowned again, which meant this First God must be a presence from the same era as the three Crystal Skulls, an Ancient Guardian God.

And this old man being the servant of the First God must have followed the First God for a long time, making him also an Ancient Guardian God.

Thinking of this, Su Yang’s complexion changed involuntarily.

If it was just an Earth-level Cultivator coming, it could still be dealt with reluctantly. But if an Ancient Guardian God came, how could they have any chance?

”Given this, have you been waiting for us here for a long time?” Su Yang asked solemnly, while quietly signalling the Chaos Sparrow to quickly find a way to lead everyone away.

The old man seemed not to notice Su Yang’s gesture, spoke slowly, ”Not long, since I saw him, I’ve been guarding around here. So calculated, it’s only a thousand years.”

The Great City Lord was instantly stunned, ”You... you’ve followed me for a thousand years?”

The old man smiled faintly, ”For us, a thousand years is merely a fleeting moment.”

”A thousand years, why... why didn’t you catch me?” the Great City Lord glared, ”What are you following me for?”

”If I didn’t follow you, how could I find the person I’m looking for?” The old man looked at Su Yang, obviously his target was on Su Yang.

Su Yang was secretly surprised; from the start, this old man’s target was him. This matter was troublesome; wasn’t he walking right into a trap this time?

The Great City Lord was furious, cursing, ”No wonder those Guardian Gods couldn’t catch me, turns out it was you, you old fox, behind all this deceit, you’re despicable!”

”Haha...” The old man smiled faintly, not angered by the Great City Lord’s curse, instead spoke slowly, ”Waiting for a rabbit, the mantis catching the cicada, these principles, you taught me, did you forget?”

”When did I teach you?” the Great City Lord glared.

”You stole everything from me three times in a row, teaching me these principles!” The old man spoke slowly, ”I’m merely using the strategies you used on me back against you now, how is that despicable?”

Su Yang looked at the Great City Lord, whose mouth was agape but speechless.

”So this is your personal grudge!” the Second City Lord immediately said, ”Sir, since this is your personal grudge, then... we shall go, leaving you to resolve your personal vendettas!”

”You’ve stolen from me twice too!” The old man spoke slowly, ”To speak of resolving grudges, none of you three should think of escaping. Look, your Third dug up the graves of my brothers. You three truly have unresolved enmities with me!”

Su Yang was quite speechless; these three had enemies everywhere, how could they have foes wherever they went?

”Such things happened?” The Second City Lord feigned shock, ”Sir, that... that must have been when I was young and foolish, doing misguided things. Sir, I sincerely apologize to you, let bygones be bygones. As adults, we should look forward, not dwell on past grievances. As the saying goes, the best place for burying grudges is the grave, life moves in circles, and nothing lasts forever. Live for today, drink for today, endless vengeance yields nothing but misery. Sir, let our matters be like autumn wind sweeping leaves, leaving it all as if it never happened!”

Su Yang, the Great City Lord, and the Third City Lord all looked disdainfully at the Second City Lord, shameless!

The old man smiled faintly, ignoring the Second City Lord, simply looking quietly at Su Yang.

”Young man, hand over the three wooden boxes, along with those three keys, and I may let you leave!”

Su Yang felt a shock, realizing the old man was not here for revenge as he assumed. Unexpectedly, his interest was in the three wooden boxes and three keys. This meant he knew about the reincarnation ritual and the contents of the wooden boxes, aiming to prevent the Human Clan from bringing back Ancient Gods.

”I’m sorry, sir, the items you mentioned aren’t with me!” Su Yang replied directly.

”Young man, you can’t deceive me!” The old man shook his head, ”Why are you in such a hurry to find these three thieves? Last great battle of the ancient times, it was them who stole the boxes. Only they know the whereabouts of the boxes. And those seeking these wooden boxes must possess the keys. If not with you, then who?”

”Sir, your deduction skill is impressive, but unfortunately, do you think I’d carry those three keys on me while conducting business?” Su Yang replied directly.

”Haha...” The old man smiled faintly, ”I’ll find out if they’re on you once I kill you. Young man, I advise you to hand them over for your own good, at least by doing so you’ll preserve your life. Isn’t there a saying among your people? Leave mountains don’t fear the absence of firewood; you should know, you can’t safeguard those items. Is it worth losing your life over them?”

Seeing the old man’s expression of having the upper hand, Su Yang felt secretly frightened. The old man seemed well-prepared, paying no heed to them. It appeared that the four of them were truly in danger this time.

Su Yang subtly signalled the Chaos Sparrow again, continuing to stall, lightly saying, ”Why don’t you just free me, so I can fetch the items for you, wouldn’t that be better? Killing me, if the items aren’t with me, wouldn’t you lose all clues then?”
