Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1622: Chapter 1621 Prelude to the Great Battle

”People from the Heavenly Court won’t act directly, they’ll only send Law Enforcers to interfere,” Su Yang said. ”Uncle Ye wants to kill the Land Immortals of the Four Great Sects, which doesn’t violate the Heavenly Court’s rules. If the Law Enforcers intervene, it’s their fault. So, according to the rules, we just need to stop the Law Enforcers!”

At this point, Su Yang paused and looked at the principal beside him: ”Just like when the Four Great Sects set traps to kill me before, and the Law Enforcers held their ground and didn’t let you leave. We can also find an excuse to stop the Law Enforcers, preventing them from aiding the Four Great Sects, and that’s enough!”

The principal pondered for a moment and slowly nodded: ”This method is indeed feasible. An eye for an eye, most suitable!”

The director of education was somewhat worried and said in a low voice: ”Principal, if we do this, won’t we end up in direct conflict with the Heavenly Court? The Heavenly Court is stronger than us, and our Qinghe Academy has been focused on maintaining stability in the Human Realm for so many years. Direct conflict with the Heavenly Court doesn’t align with our purpose!”

The principal shook his head: ”As long as we don’t violate the rules, nothing else matters!”

Su Yang couldn’t help but look at the principal again. The principal is actually quite stubborn. To say something like this is indeed impressive. However, having the principal’s support is certainly a good thing.

”By the way, if possible, we can also ask Assassins for help!” Su Yang said: ”If the Heavenly Court insists on intervening tonight, a war might really break out. At that time, having Assassins there would increase our chances of winning!”

”The Assassins can’t come this time,” the director of education directly replied.

”Why?” Su Yang asked in surprise: ”Where did they go?”

The director of education pointed to the sky and didn’t explain further, saying solemnly: ”I’ll go arrange manpower now to prepare for what’s to come.”

The director of education hurriedly left, and Su Yang looked in the direction he pointed, seeing a sky full of stars and moonlight, and nothing else.

What does this mean? Did the Assassins go to heaven?

”Don’t think about the Assassin’s matters for now,” the principal waved his hand. ”Since we’ve decided to confront the Heavenly Court, we can’t hide our strength anymore. I’ll send messages to the six Major Sects for their assistance. And you should stay in Capital City and not leave. Tonight’s battle could very well be the beginning of the war between the Human Realm and the Heavenly Court!”

After the principal finished speaking, he left straight away.

Su Yang followed behind, his heart full of worry. The principal was absolutely right; tonight’s battle will, indeed, be the beginning of everything. But the crucial issue is whether this is a blessing or a curse for the Human Realm?

However, it is imaginable that regardless of the outcome of this battle, many people will lose their lives!

Su Yang turned to look at Ye Wantong, who was next to him. Her eyes were red, and her body trembled slightly, clearly worried about her father.

Thinking that she would be his wife in the future, Su Yang also felt a warmth in his heart. He gently held Ye Wantong’s hand and said softly, ”Don’t worry, Uncle Ye won’t be in trouble.”

Ye Wantong finally stopped trembling. Her eyes overflowed with tears, and she tightly grasped Su Yang’s hand as if it were the last straw, refusing to let go.

Su Yang didn’t let go either, and thus pulled Ye Wantong along to leave.

The Qinghe Academy was busy, and the principal had already sent out messages. Everyone at the academy had started preparing to confront the Heavenly Court.

Su Yang took Ye Wantong back to the Shen Family Mansion and immediately sent her into the World Melting Furnace.

Tonight’s events could lead to a full-scale war between the Human Realm and the Heavenly Court if handled poorly.

Under such circumstances, Ye Sword Saint, being the person who initiated this battle, would certainly be targeted by many. His daughter would also be hunted by many. Su Yang sending her into the World Melting Furnace was the safest approach.

Inside the World Melting Furnace, Black Widow saw Su Yang bringing Ye Wantong in and was delighted, holding Ye Wantong’s hand without letting go, completely ignoring Su Yang next to her, leaving Su Yang quite speechless.

Su Yang left Ye Wantong there, entrusting her to Black Widow’s care, and stepped out of the World Melting Furnace to prepare for what was to come.

Su Yang also contacted Lv Donglin and others, asking them to start preparations. If the battle indeed extends to Capital City, it would already be at a fervent stage, and even ordinary people might not be spared from getting involved.

Lv Donglin was unaware of these matters, and was quite shocked upon hearing Su Yang explain the situation.

”Since the Heavenly Court is making such preparations, why don’t we counter them using their own methods?” Lv Donglin asked curiously. ”Since they were able to let Qi Bachi defeat Wang Pu and force Ye Sword Saint into the top three of the Ten Rankings, we can also find someone to defeat Ye Sword Saint and push him out of the top three!”

Upon hearing Lv Donglin’s words, Su Yang sighed. Actually, he had asked the principal about this issue and had considered this method. Unfortunately, this approach is not feasible.

Before Su Yang responded, Xue Nu solemnly spoke: ”Firstly, to prevent such situations, the Heavenly Court established rules long ago. Three months before the selection of Law Enforcers, all top ten figures on various rankings were finalized, and no new figures could join. During this time, only a top ten figure of the Ten Rankings could defeat Ye Sword Saint to occupy his position. If I’m correct, most of the top ten figures in the Ten Rankings are difficult to locate now; the Heavenly Court has prepared for this!”

Su Yang nodded. After the news that Qi Bachi defeated Wang Pu came out, Qinghe Academy began preparations immediately. It turned out that the top ten figures in the Ten Rankings were almost untraceable. That means Ye Sword Saint, trying to find someone in the Ten Rankings to defeat and take his place, is impossible.

Moreover, those outside the Ten Rankings, due to the Heavenly Court’s three-month restriction, cannot participate in the selection of Law Enforcers if they defeat Ye Sword Saint now. Hence, employing this method is impossible now.

The Heavenly Court had already thought of these circumstances, leading to this plan, and pushing Ye Sword Saint to a desperate situation.

”Is this the only reason, or are there other reasons?” Lv Donglin asked in surprise.

Su Yang was also surprised at Xue Nu, as he only knew of this one reason and was unaware of any others.
