Supreme Warrior in the City

Having said this, Qi Zhishan no longer paid attention to anyone; he laughed heartily as he strode forward.

With each step he took, he appeared a year younger, and the beard on his face and his hair rapidly shortened.

By the time he reached the edge of Lake Heart Island, he had turned into a graceful young man, completely erasing the visage of the wild man that he was before.

Even at this point, Qi Zhishan did not stop but continued to walk on. Treading upon the surface of the lake as if on flat ground, he quickly moved further away, eventually leaving only the echo of his laughter around Lake Heart Island.

The people present were all dumbfounded, with no one knowing what was going on.

Especially the Qi family members, who were the most confused. Su Yang had just spoken a few words, and why did Qi Zhishan seem to have gone mad? Fine, go mad, but at least kill Su Yang first, why did he just walk away?

It was Su Yang who wore a smile. He could understand Qi Zhishan’s state of mind. The seventeen years Qi Zhishan had spent in fruitless meditation had led him down a path of obsessive fixation—or, in another term, under the torment of a heart demon, which had prevented him from finding a way out.

The words Su Yang had just said were like a guide to Qi Zhishan, helping him to step out of the troubles of his heart demon.

Qi Zhishan was extremely talented and certainly not someone Qi Jian’an could compare with. Having stepped out of the shadow of his heart demon, the world became a place where he could soar as high as he wished. Why would he continue to stay in the Qi family that treated him as a tool?

After a good while, when Qi Zhishan’s voice had completely stopped, the members of the Qi family finally confirmed that Qi Zhishan had truly left.

”Third Ancestor, he... what is he doing?” Qi Wu’an asked in astonishment, ”Shouldn’t he deal with this Su surname first? How come... How did he just run away?”

The Third Ancestor was also dumbfounded; he simply couldn’t understand what was happening. Qi Zhishan had finally left seclusion, and they had all been waiting for him to defeat Su Yang. But why did he run away?

Just now, the Third Ancestor had tried to capture Qi Zhishan, and yet Qi Zhishan was able to withstand his attack, which was a great shock to him.

At that time, he even thought Qi Zhishan had entered the Land Fairy Realm, so he was about to give up, as he couldn’t make a move if Qi Zhishan was a Land Fairy.

But Su Yang’s words later made him realize that Qi Zhishan was holding back his power and had not entered the Land Fairy Realm. That is to say, Qi Zhishan was still in the Venerable Realm, which was perfect; at this level, they could kill Su Yang.

So, the Third Ancestor was still waiting for Qi Zhishan to take action himself to kill Su Yang. After all, if Qi Zhishan could withstand the attack of a Land Fairy, killing Su Yang should be no issue at all.

But who could have expected that, after chatting with Su Yang, Qi Zhishan would actually run away? What in the world was happening?

”Qi Zhishan! Qi Zhishan!” The Third Ancestor called loudly, but there was not a hint of response.

The Third Ancestor could no longer sense Qi Zhishan’s presence; without a doubt, Qi Zhishan had gone far away.

”There’s no need to shout, he won’t be coming back!” Su Yang said aloud, ”After all, you’ve always looked down on branch members and trained Qi Jian’an to replace him. So there’s no need for him to return, and he has no reason to stay with the Qi Family anymore!”

The faces of the Qi Family members all changed, actually they all thought this way deep down. Everyone really hoped that Qi Jian’an could surpass Qi Zhishan, truth be told, having a branch member become one of the Qi Family’s Five Heroes was something they found hard to accept from the start. Not to mention, as the leader of the Five Heroes!

But no matter what everyone thought, under the current circumstances, Qi Zhishan was the only person who could resolve this situation. If Qi Zhishan left, then what would they do? Among the Qi Family Terran Immortals, who else could suppress Su Yang?

The Third Ancestor’s face turned icy as he gritted his teeth, ”Don’t think that without Qi Zhishan, we of the Qi Family have no way to deal with you. Causing trouble in our Qi Family still warrants death!”

”I never said you couldn’t kill me!” Su Yang said, ”I’ve been waiting here for a long time. Come and kill me then!”

The Qi Family members looked at each other, if Qi Jian’an was no match for Su Yang, who would dare to seek trouble for themselves?

”Why don’t all of you come at me together? If individuals are no match for me, surely a group attack would do, right?” Su Yang said coldly, ”But let me be clear. I have come here solely to kill Qi Zhian, and if the people of the Qi Family do not attack me, there will be no issue. However, if you do attack me, that means you are protecting Qi Zhian, and you shouldn’t blame me for being ruthless then!”

The faces of the crowd turned even more awkward. It was evident from Su Yang’s words. They wouldn’t be killed if they didn’t move against him. But if they did, Su Yang would kill them.

Having witnessed Su Yang’s formidable skills, who would dare to confront him directly? Even though Su Yang suggested they all come at him together, no one dared make a move. A group attack might not guarantee victory, and with such an outcome, they would definitely suffer numerous casualties on their side. Who would willingly rush to their death?

The Third Ancestor’s face was frosty, when suddenly he gritted his teeth and said, ”You surnamed Su, do you really think our Qi Family’s Earth Immortals have no means against you? We might not be able to kill you, but we can still trap you. By creating such a commotion in our Qi Family, you’ve broken our rules, and I will imprison you forever in the dungeons of the Qi Family!”

Upon hearing this, the members of the Qi Family burst into cheers. This was indeed a solution, not killing Su Yang but merely imprisoning him did not violate the rules of the Earth Immortals, and the Law Enforcers couldn’t say anything about it.

”You surnamed Su, do you truly think you can insult Earth Immortals at your leisure?” Qi Wu’an sneered, ”Let me tell you, the dignity of Earth Immortals cannot be violated. Offend the Earth Immortals of the Qi Family, and you can forget about ever leaving Lake Heart Island!”

”Locked in the dungeon, never to see the sunlight again, I’d like to see how you can continue to be so arrogant!”

”Seeking your own death, and daring to make commotion in the Qi Family? Once you’ve entered Lake Heart Island, don’t dream of leaving!”

The crowd jubilantly clamored nonstop, each person feeling exceptionally relieved, finally finding a way to deal with Su Yang. They all wished the Third Ancestor would immediately take action and capture Su Yang.

Su Yang frowned, he hadn’t expected the Third Ancestor to resort to such a despicable act. An Earth Immortal taking action to imprison a Sovereign indeed didn’t break the rules, but it was a disgrace.

He had originally thought that even if the Qi Family of Wanhu couldn’t defeat him, they would resolve the matter with resolve. But he hadn’t expected that the Qi Family’s Earth Immortals would come up with such a shameful method, which Su Yang had never anticipated.

If he really got imprisoned here, then he guessed he really wouldn’t be able to escape.

”What’s wrong? Scared now?” the Third Ancestor taunted with a boastful sneer, ”Regretting it? Too bad, it’s too late. You strutted around the Qi Family, arrogantly wanting to kill our people, you should have foreseen this outcome. This is all the result of your own doing, seeking your death path. You can blame no one else!”
