Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1481: Chapter 1480: Medicine Sect Withdraws

The Ghost King San Yan was livid. Tonight, Su Yang had killed so many members of the Medicine Sect right in front of him—it was outright humiliation. He genuinely wanted to kill some of Su Yang’s people to save face.

Yet, he couldn’t do it. If he fought hard, he could indeed kill many of Su Yang’s men. However, he wouldn’t be able to safeguard Ge Kaiyang at the same time.

If he killed a few of Su Yang’s people but Ge Kaiyang ended up dying here, the Jade-Faced Judge certainly wouldn’t let him off the hook.

Weighing his options, the Ghost King San Yan could only swallow his anger for now.

”Su Yang, I’ll remember tonight’s debt!” The Ghost King San Yan’s face was ice-cold as he spoke in a deep voice, ”The mountains may not meet, but rivers always turn. We’ll have plenty of opportunities. When you fall into my hands, I will make sure you wish you were dead!”

Su Yang sneered. ”Maybe next time, you’ll be the one falling into my hands!”

”We can try and see!” The Ghost King San Yan retorted in a stern tone.

Su Yang sneered again without replying, turned around, and left with his people, walking away arrogantly.

This battle had dealt another deadly blow to the Medicine Sect. Twenty to thirty of their members died, leaving only a few Terrestrial Immortals on the sect’s side.

The Second Elder descended from the sky, his face steely and filled with rage.

One of the Terrestrial Immortals from the Medicine Sect stormed up, his face furious, and said in a heavy voice: ”That Su Yang is truly detestable! He actually had the guts to come here and kill our people! Does he really think the Medicine Sect is easy to bully?”

The Second Elder was equally enraged, but he was completely helpless. With the Law Enforcers keeping watch, they could only passively endure such attacks!

”Ghost King!” The Second Elder asked in a severe tone, ”When will the Jade-Faced Judge arrive in the Capital City?”

”That’s hard to say, but I’d guess soon.” The Ghost King San Yan replied. In truth, the Jade-Faced Judge had set out long ago but had yet to reach the Capital City.

”How soon is ’soon’?” The Second Elder asked angrily. ”If he can’t come, you should tell him to hand over the formula so we can start refining Qi Suppressing Pills as soon as possible. This way, we can reconnect with the Ten Great Sects and deal with this Su Yang together!”

”My master said that he needs to hand you the formula personally!” The Ghost King San Yan shook his head.

”Do you realize how critical the situation is right now, yet he’s still fussing over minor details?” The Second Elder said irritably. ”Look at tonight! If he doesn’t show up soon, our Medicine Sect members will be completely slaughtered by that damn Su Yang. By then, what good would holding onto that formula do?”

The Ghost King San Yan looked around at the grim situation. He was raging inwardly as well. Despite his personal presence, Su Yang had dared to rampage here—it was utterly disrespectful to him.

”Su Yang is nothing more than a petty clown, not worth worrying about,” the Ghost King San Yan said. ”Once my master arrives in the Capital City, this Su Yang will be nothing more than an ant. My master can crush him effortlessly, so you needn’t worry!”

”Nonsense!” The Second Elder roared angrily. ”You keep saying what your master will accomplish after he arrives, but have you considered whether we can even hold out until he gets here? Look at the current situation—Su Yang definitely won’t let up. Who knows when he might come back for another sneak attack? Just how many more of our people are you planning to let die?”

The Ghost King San Yan was also simmering with frustration. Could this really be blamed on him? The Medicine Sect couldn’t even deal with one Su Yang and still had the audacity to lecture him?

Still, thinking of the Jade-Faced Judge’s plans, he suppressed his anger.

”Second Elder, I think we need to take the long view regarding this matter,” the Ghost King San Yan said calmly. ”While Su Yang is arrogant, he’s also extremely cunning and sly—definitely no ordinary foe. The Medicine Sect now only has Terrestrial Immortals left. If you were to confront him head-on in the Capital City, it would certainly be the Medicine Sect that suffers. How about we leave the Capital City for now? Once my master arrives, we can return to settle this matter with Su Yang. I promise that when the time comes, we’ll deliver him alive to the Medicine Sect so everyone can take their revenge in full. How about that?”

Though the Second Elder was burning with fury, after carefully considering their current predicament, he had no choice but to nod in agreement. Staying in the Capital City would only leave them vulnerable targets for Su Yang, and the next attack might bring even graver threats.

...

The Medicine Sect’s retreat from the Capital City quickly spread through the city, shocking all the major families.

The last time Su Yang defeated the Yanbei Su Family, people attributed the outcome to Qinghe Academy’s assistance. Later, during the battle at the North Mountain Summit, Su Yang produced that video and had Qinghe Academy backing him, so people still didn’t see it as surprising.

This time, however, Su Yang acted alone, killing so many members of the Medicine Sect and driving them out of the Capital City, compelling everyone to acknowledge his power.

The families that had previously harbored grievances against Su Yang now felt deeply relieved. After reconciling with him following the Zilan Manor incident, and staying out of the North Mountain Summit battle, they were fortunate enough to avoid disastrous consequences. Otherwise, their outcomes might have been unimaginable.

Of course, after this battle, Su Yang’s status in the Capital City rose significantly, reaching even the level of the Black Widow. Though not quite as revered as the Martial Champion, he was at least someone whom the other families dared not cross lightly.

Su Yang, however, paid no attention to the Capital City’s collective astonishment. What he discovered at the Medicine Sect—Ge Kaiyang and others—made him increasingly vigilant.

The Jade-Faced Judge was one of the strongest powers beneath Terrestrial Immortals, his strength rivaling that of the Ten Great Sects.

Even before the impending change in the laws of heaven and earth, members of the Ten Great Sects traveling the world had to defer to the likes of the Martial Champion Beigong War God and the Jade-Faced Judge. There was no choice—in the secular realm, they were the true pinnacles of power!

Yet now, the Jade-Faced Judge had inexplicably allied himself with the Medicine Sect, which made the situation strange.

Rumors were circulating about changes to the laws of heaven and earth, so it was understandable that these secular powers wanted to collaborate with the Ten Great Sects, seeking their protection. That the Jade-Faced Judge might think this way wasn’t odd.

What Su Yang couldn’t fathom was—why the Jade-Faced Judge chose the Medicine Sect?

After all, the Medicine Sect’s strength wasn’t even close to being counted among the Ten Great Sects. Their true reliance lay in their monopoly on three specific types of elixirs.

Now that the monopoly of those three elixirs had been broken, the Medicine Sect’s decline was inevitable. There was no way they could still belong among the Ten Great Sects.

Moreover, because of their previous arrogance and hubris, the Medicine Sect had made many enemies. After this latest incident, it was uncertain how much longer they could even survive.

In such circumstances, for the Jade-Faced Judge to form an alliance with the Medicine Sect was baffling to many.

After all, the Medicine Sect was hardly in a position to provide the Jade-Faced Judge sufficient backing!
