Supreme Warrior in the City

Finally, the strongest of the three Guardian Gods left.

The three of them together were no match for the Demon Lord, and if the fight continued, they were likely to suffer.

So, being able to cease hostilities at this point is certainly the best outcome.

No matter where Su Yang has gone, or whether Su Yang was lying—the most crucial thing is that they can return unscathed from this battle, which is what’s truly important!

Watching the strongest of the three Guardian Gods leave, the Demon Lord immediately turned to Su Yang and whispered, ”Little Yang, where exactly have you been these three thousand years?”

”Three thousand years!?” Su Yang widened his eyes, mouth agape, unable to speak. Had he really spent three thousand years in that forest?

”What’s the matter?” The Demon Lord asked, puzzled, ”Three thousand years—isn’t it something you kept track of yourself?”

The Demon Lord looked at Su Yang in astonishment. At their level, their bodies were like a clock; they didn’t need to rely on sunrise and sunset to distinguish time.

Su Yang not knowing how long it has been is incredibly strange!

”Three thousand years? Three thousand years?” Su Yang murmured to himself. He clearly felt that he hadn’t spent that many years in the forest. But outside, three thousand years seemed to have passed—this is very puzzling.

Could it be that time inside the forest is different from the time outside?

”By the way, where did you really go?” The Demon Lord asked curiously, ”Was it really the Guardian Gods who set a trap to trap you inside? But the Heaven Slayers have been guarding Chaos; the strongest Guardian Gods haven’t gone inside. Could it be the Guardian Gods have a way to bypass the Heaven Slayers and enter Chaos?”

”This matter is a long story!” Su Yang waved his hand, ”Let’s go back first and gather everyone; then I’ll tell you all about it slowly!”

”Alright!” The Demon Lord nodded, ”It’s right to quickly gather everyone back. These years, we’ve been fighting the Guardian Gods for a long while. Not only the strongest are fighting, but those below the strongest are also at war. Countless of those below the strongest have died or were wounded. Quickly returning means we can bring back those who died in the battle!”

Su Yang and the Demon Lord hurried back to the Nine Realms, and along the way, the Demon Lord sent signals for the other strongest to return to the Nine Realms as well.

During this process, the Demon Lord also updated Su Yang on the current situation of both sides.

Ye Wantong has fully absorbed the Chaos Flower and advanced to the strongest level. However, on the side of the Guardian Gods, two of them have also advanced to the strongest level, so both sides’ powers remain evenly matched.

In the battles over the years, neither side could gain an advantage over the other. However, below the level of the strongest, the Human Clan’s strength is weaker, naturally suffering more losses.

Moreover, the most crucial fact is that during these few years, the Heavenly Sect is intensely closing off the world. The strongest Guardian Gods have reached a consensus to allow the Heavenly Sect to quickly regain the strength of the strongest, even bringing the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet for cultivation.

This is why the strongest of both sides began battling, as the Guardian Gods’ strongest prepared to completely break the Human Clan, leading to such decisions. As a result, over these few years, the Heavenly Sect’s power has increased rapidly and is now at the Heavenly Peak, not far from regaining the strength of the strongest.

”By the way, Little Yang, are you at the Heavenly Peak now?” The Demon Lord asked curiously, ”Did you cultivate using the Earth Principle?”

Su Yang was silent for a moment, then replied softly, ”Would you believe me if I said I haven’t cultivated at all these years?”

”Don’t joke around,” said the Demon Lord, ”Before you left, you were only at the mid-level Heavenly, now you are at the Heavenly Peak. Crossing two levels in three thousand years, even I didn’t manage that during my own cultivation. Who are you trying to fool by saying you didn’t cultivate?”

”I truly haven’t cultivated…” Su Yang said helplessly, genuinely speaking the truth.

”Alright, alright, I believe you!” The Demon Lord shrugged, claiming to believe but clearly felt Su Yang was joking.

Shortly after the Demon Lord’s signal was sent out, the other strongest quickly returned to the Nine Realms. Seeing Su Yang, everyone was incredibly delighted.

These many years without any news of Su Yang, even the strongest couldn’t detect Su Yang’s presence. Almost everyone assumed Su Yang had died in battle.

Now that Su Yang has returned and even reached the Heavenly Peak, it’s naturally excellent news.

Su Yang hadn’t even had time to chat with everyone when a cold voice from the Outer Heaven reached them: ”I’ve wondered why you all suddenly rolled back here, turns out this Su has returned. Hmph, now, what do you have to say? You’ve constantly accused us of secretly harming this Su. Now, tell me, did we ever harm him?”

The Heaven Slayer led a group of the Guardian Gods’ strongest, coming with aggressive momentum, clearly intent on holding us accountable.

Su Yang flew straight out, speaking loudly, ”First God, you still have the face to slander here. You think because you didn’t show up back then, I wouldn’t know it was your doing? You personally set the trap and imprisoned me inside. If it weren’t for my good fortune, I would have already perished. Now you come here accusing me first as the wronged party—are all Guardian Gods so shameless?”

First God was momentarily stunned, glaring, ”You… what are you saying? When did I set a trap, when did I imprison you?”

”Alright, you don’t need to argue, I know you wouldn’t admit it, just pretend I didn’t say it!” Su Yang spread his hands, ”Anyway, you’re the strongest, and I’m just at the Heavenly level, completely unable to leave evidence of your trap. You can throw mud on me however you want, I won’t rebut!”

Su Yang’s words sounded as if he was extremely aggrieved.

But the truly aggrieved one was First God. He stared wide-eyed, hurriedly saying, ”Su, what are you talking about? I didn’t do anything, how am I throwing mud at you? Also, you… why not directly rebut—what do you mean by not rebutting?”

”You’re the strongest, and I have no means of leaving evidence of your antics—how am I supposed to rebut?” Su Yang shrugged, ”Anyway, justice lives in people’s hearts, it’s fine if you don’t admit it, as long as you’re true to your conscience. As the strongest, if you throw aside reputation and lie, what can I do?”

”Who’s lying, explain it clearly!” First God was furious, his face darkened, ”Su, explain clearly, what did I do?”

”Forget it, forget it, let’s not talk about it!” Su Yang waved repeatedly, ”Is there any point in this? You won’t admit, and I can’t bring forth evidence, so let’s just say I’m slandering you!”
