Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1574: Chapter 1573: The Troublesome Chick

The great battle concluded just like that, with not much loss on the side of the Innate Sect, except for the Third Elder who fell in battle.

The Great Elder and the Second Elder were initially confident in allying with Su Yang and others to kill Fan Yangxiu, but they hadn’t expected this kind of outcome.

Previously, Fan Yangxiu was shouting that Su Yang had been killed, while Kong Kong’er took Su Yang and fled from the Innate Sect, with others following, leaving the Great Elder unsure of what exactly was happening outside.

However, if Su Yang were really dead, they would be in trouble as Qinghe Academy would definitely not support them, and might even take offense at them, leaving them with no support at all.

Fortunately, they quickly received news that Su Yang had not died in battle but was merely seriously injured, which immediately calmed them and also filled them with excitement.

Su Yang is the Alliance Hierarch of the Qinghe Academy Alliance, and his serious injury would definitely enrage the alliance, and those people would surely take action to avenge him. By then, they wouldn’t even need to lift a finger, as Su Yang’s allies would deal with Fan Yangxiu’s people completely.

Therefore, although the Third Elder had died, the Great Elder and the Second Elder felt no urge to avenge him. On the contrary, they shrunk back, ignoring Fan Yangxiu’s provocations, and even as Fan Yangxiu began trying to win over their people, they paid no attention. They were waiting for Su Yang’s alliance to take action and resolve the matter for them!

In this situation, Shen Yongnian suddenly stepped forward, angrily denouncing the people from Horizon’s End for killing the Third Elder, claiming it was a vendetta of the Innate Sect and calling for the expulsion of the Horizon’s End people from the Innate Sect.

Even though his angry denunciation was useless, it at least won over public sentiment. The former loyalists of the Third Elder had not been absorbed by the Great Elder and the Second Elder but instead sided with Shen Yongnian at this time.

This created a situation where the Innate Sect directly had three factions contending for power.

Fan Yangxiu had the largest faction, while the Great Elder and the Second Elder had their own followers, and also the current Sect Master, Shen Yongnian, managed to win over a group of people.

However, in the eyes of the public, Shen Yongnian’s group was also seen as siding with the Great Elder and the Second Elder. It’s just that the Great Elder and the Second Elder had no intention of avenging the Third Elder at the moment, creating a rift with Shen Yongnian on this point.

At the same time, the alliance of the Four Great Sects was also keeping an eye on this matter.

The Innate Sect was determined by these Four Great Sects to be taken down, so they were particularly attentive to the situation there.

When Su Yang led people to the Innate Sect, they began to send people there as well.

Of course, they were also wary of Fan Yangxiu. After all, Horizon’s End knew very well Fan Yangxiu’s situation and had not bothered much with him over the years, keeping him around just to prepare for snatching the Innate Technique in the future.

The people from Horizon’s End did not expect things to develop to this point, where Fan Yangxiu would become so significant. Yet, it’s too late to curry favor with Fan Yangxiu now.

Hence, they kept Fan Yangxiu’s family at Horizon’s End, hoping to restrain him, in case he should defect at a crucial moment.

In the end, Fan Yangxiu seriously injured Su Yang, almost killing him.

This situation greatly pleased the people of the Four Great Sects. The enmity between Fan Yangxiu and Su Yang was thoroughly cemented, making it impossible for Fan Yangxiu to defect.

Thus, the Four Great Sects no longer worried about Fan Yangxiu’s side; they were more concerned with preventing the Qinghe Academy Alliance from intervening in the Innate Sect’s affairs.

To this end, the Four Great Sects dispatched numerous personnel to keep watch near the Innate Sect. Should the Qinghe Academy Alliance people arrive to fight, they would immediately counterattack, ensuring Fan Yangxiu gains control of the Innate Sect.

The Qinghe Academy Alliance was not idle either; Su Yang was quickly sent back to Qinghe Academy by Kong Kong’er overnight and was immediately sent for treatment. The Qinghe Academy also urgently dispatched messages to the other five sects, calling for them to gather their forces and prepare for a decisive battle with the Four Great Sects at the Innate Sect.

The Four Great Sects, upon receiving the news, immediately contacted the Heavenly Court, asking them to prepare to intervene. After all, given their strength, the Four Great Sects couldn’t possibly compete with those five sects.

Meanwhile, Su Yang had already quietly set out from Qinghe Academy. He brought a team of over a dozen people, disguised and headed straight for Horizon’s End.

Among the team were Yuan Tiangang, Wu Daozi, Kong Kong’er, Xu Fenghou, and a few experts personally selected by the deans. Among them, three came from the Martial God Altar, two from the Hidden Sword Pavilion, two from the Thousand Snow Palace, and Wu Zheng personally led a team from the Great Might Dragon Gate.

The chick from the last hatched Dragon Egg was also brought along by Wu Zheng and specially handed over to Su Yang.

The Dragon Egg hatching a chick was already quite an embarrassment for the Great Might Dragon Gate. However, they were well aware that the Dragon Egg was no ordinary item, and thus this chick was definitely not simple, so they kept it.

Unexpectedly, the chick was extremely gluttonous and mischievous. In just a few days, it caused havoc in the Great Might Dragon Gate. The most egregious act was when the little creature, possessing immense strength and stealth, relieved itself in the premium tea of Long Yi, a Terrestrial Immortal, used for entertaining guests, covering it up with tea leaves so no one would find out.

A few days ago, several of Long Yi’s old friends visited the mountain. Long Yi specially brought out his treasured tea to entertain them, resulting in a predictable disaster. Although these friends were also Immortals, they were nearly felled by massive stomach troubles on Dragon Gate Mountain.

Initially, no one understood what was wrong, until Long Yi discovered traces of the chick’s claws in the place where the tea leaves were kept. Upon closer inspection of the tea box, bird droppings were found—imagine the horror of that realization.

Long Yi nearly spat blood; he never expected that his friends, Terrestrial Immortals who feared not the ravages of time, almost perished due to bird droppings.

Of course, Long Yi dared not spread this incident. If people found out he served tea contaminated by bird droppings, those friends might very well want his life.

The chick then intruded into the Elixir Room, eating and wasting resources, its belly round and unable to move. After a few days of rest, it broke into the Sutra Depository, leaving claw marks or bird droppings on ancient manuscripts, throwing the whole Great Might Dragon Gate into chaos.
