Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 928: Chapter 927 Attracting Trouble

Huo Yuanzhen also wore a shocked expression, looking at Su Yang in astonishment, ”Don’t you plan to dominate those major families in the North? If you have no such intention, then why have you caused such a stir?”

”I came to the Southern Six Provinces originally just to help a few friends, but then so many things happened that I had to take action,” Su Yang said. ”Now that the Divine Physicians Alliance is mine, of course I have to fight for it. Honestly, I never initially intended to control the Southern Six Provinces!”

The three exchanged glances, Huo Yuanzhen waved his hand and said, ”Whether you intended it or not, now that you’ve come this far, there’s no going back. You need to be ready to head North.”

”Why is that?” Su Yang asked curiously.

”Tall trees catch much wind,” Ye Jiansheng said with a smirk. ”You’ve reached this position now, do you think you can still keep out of trouble?”

”Tall trees catch much wind!” Su Yang slowly repeated these words, feeling a wave of emotion inside. Indeed, he could say now that he was attracting much attention!

”If you do go North, you need to be especially wary of two individuals,” Huo Yuanzhen advised. ”One in Capital City, the other in the Northern Three Provinces. The one from the Northern Three Provinces is slightly less concerning; he’s only skilled in higher-level assassination. He’s at the Venerable Realm but capable of killing a Terrestrial Immortal. His name is Beigong Cangyang, but he has always been referred to by the nickname Northern War God. This man ranks second on the Earth Rankings, and at least five Terrestrial Immortals have died at his hands, making him extremely fearsome.”

Su Yang stared dumbfounded, ”Venerable Realm, capable of killing a Terrestrial Immortal? How... how is that possible?”

”What’s so impossible about it?” Ye Jiansheng scoffed lightly. ”Before I ascended to the rank of Earthly Immortal, I too had slain two Terrestrial Immortals. Being close to Great Perfection in one realm does not mean you are weak compared to the initial stages of the next. Plus, at the Venerable Realm, you have a unique advantage, since Earth Immortals cannot easily kill you, but you can strike without any reservations. The outcome, naturally, can be imagined!”

Still shocked, Su Yang found it hard to believe. If not for hearing such matters from these three powerful Land Fairies himself, he would never have believed it.

”Forget about Beigong Cangyang, the one in Capital City who ranks first on the Earth Rankings is a complete old monster. He is a former Capital’s Martial Top Scholar who has been famous for two hundred and seventy-two years, and to this day, still resides in the Fusion Realm without taking a single step forward. However, his strength can only be described as unfathomable,” Lian Wanxiong spoke softly.

”Famous for two hundred and seventy-two years...” Su Yang was again dumbfounded. ”Can someone in the Fusion Realm live that long?”

In the records of Destiny’s Tome, it was normal for someone in the Fusion Realm to live over a hundred years, but to live for two hundred years was nearly unthinkable. Yet this Martial Champion had been famous for two hundred and seventy-two years, which meant he must be around three hundred years old by now. How was that possible?

”It is said he found the Immortality Medicine, which allows one to live across three lifetimes,” Lian Wanxiong said solemnly. ”Being famous for two hundred and seventy-two years and always suppressing his strength without entering the Earthly Immortal Realm shows how long he’s repressed himself. With his strength, he can enter the Land Fairy Realm at any time. Once he feels his lifespan reaching its end, he will step into the Earthly Immortal Realm and extend his life once more. That is why he is indeed a true old monster!”

Su Yang glanced at Lian Wanxiong, then suddenly said, ”Even you think this Martial Champion is unfathomable?”

”Hehe...” Lian Wanxiong chuckled. ”No need to fish for compliments, I once went to Capital City and sparred with him. At that time, we were evenly matched. But in hindsight, it was the Martial Champion showing mercy; had it not been for that, I probably would not have been able to leave Capital City!”

”Such a thing happened?” Su Yang’s eyes widened. ”And now you possess the strength of rank ten on the Heavenly List, right?”

Lian Wanxiong calmly continued, ”Even if I went to Capital City now, facing the Martial Champion, my chances of victory would not be great.”

Su Yang was dumbstruck, it was the first time he learned that someone at the Venerable Realm could possess such heaven-defying strength. How was that achieved?

”The path of cultivation has no end. Once your strength accumulates to a certain level, you will be able to understand,” Ye Jiansheng explained. ”Northern War God, South Dry Zen, Eastern Judge, Western Abbot, plus this Martial Champion from Capital City. The five great masters below the Earth Immortals, not one of them is weak!”

Shaken again, Su Yang heard such titles for the first time, and he couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise, ”I know of the Northern War God and the Martial Champion from Capital City, but what about this South Dry Zen, Eastern Judge, and Western Abbot?”

”You’ve met the South Dry Zen, Qi Zhishan from Lake Heart Island, that’s him,” Ye Jiansheng replied. ”As for the Eastern Judge and Western Abbot, they are the evil sect master Jade-Faced Judge from the East, and the self-proclaimed leading disciple under Buddha Ancestor, Mahakasyapa from the West.”

Su Yang looked confused. ”Qi Zhishan is only third on the Heavenly List; is his strength comparable to that of Northern War God who can kill Earth Immortals and the Martial Champion? And what about this Jade-Faced Judge and Mahakasyapa? Neither has made it onto the Earth Rankings; are their strengths really that formidable?”

”Qi Zhishan took a wrong path and wasted a full seventeen years on Dry Zen meditation. If not for your visit to Lake Heart Island, he would still be trapped in his predicament. However, that does not mean his strength falls short, in fact, before his meditation period, Qi Zhishan’s strength was not much inferior to that of Northern War God,” Ye Jiansheng explained. ”As for the Jade-Faced Judge, he belongs to the evil sect masters and usually doesn’t participate in the Earth Rankings. As for Mahakasyapa, he had a bet with the Jade-Faced Judge, that if the Judge ceases killing, he would never leave the Great Hero Treasure Hall. Hence, Mahakasyapa is practically nonexistent and also doesn’t feature in the Earth Rankings.”

Hearing this, Su Yang was profoundly shocked. These secretive matters, if not for Ye Jiansheng and the others telling him, he would never have known in his lifetime.

”Let’s set aside the Jade-Faced Judge and Mahakasyapa for now, as they contain each other and won’t have much impact on you. Qi Zhishan is your friend and surely won’t affect you much either. What you need to pay most attention to are the Northern War God and the Martial Champion,” Ye Jiansheng guided.

”Especially the Martial Champion...” Huo Yuanzhen added. ”This man holds great influence in Capital City, and you’ve offended quite a few people there. If you ever go to Capital City, you may encounter his men and if things escalate, it may be hard to settle. The Martial Champion is an agreeable person in all but one aspect, which is his extreme protectiveness of his own.”

Su Yang inhaled deeply and nodded slowly, keeping these words in his heart. Chen Benhao had also mentioned to him before that Capital City was no simple place, which he didn’t pay much mind to at the time. Now having heard what Ye Jiansheng and the others said, Su Yang finally realized what Chen Benhao meant by ’not simple’!
