Supreme Warrior in the City

”Help?” Ghost Tomb furrowed his brows even tighter, speaking in a deep voice, ”You’re asking me for help? You must be mistaken, right?”

”Of course, I’m not mistaken!” Su Yang said calmly, ”I want the Heavenly Court to assist me in dealing with the four Major Sects, so naturally, I need your help to connect the dots. How could that be a mistake?”

Ghost Tomb’s eyes widened; he finally understood what Su Yang meant.

”You want to join us, the Heavenly Court?” Ghost Tomb sat up straight, and the wariness on his face finally lessened a bit. Su Yang was now seeking his help, so naturally, he didn’t need to fear Su Yang, and could even put on some airs.

”Joining is not the right word, just cooperating!” Su Yang chuckled softly.

”What’s the difference?” Ghost Tomb said coldly, ”Right now, the Heavenly Court up north keeps clamoring about wanting to kill you and have even sent numerous experts to hunt you down. Do you think you still have room to bargain?”

”Whether I do or not isn’t for you to decide; it depends on the Heavenly Court’s attitude!” Su Yang spoke calmly, ”Ghost Tomb, if you’re unwilling to connect us, just pretend I was never here. If the Heavenly Court doesn’t want to cooperate with me, then also pretend I never said anything. At worst, I’ll hide again, let you all continue your confrontation with the Heavenly Court, and see who ultimately benefits. Don’t forget, our Huaxia’s Land Immortals have just been temporarily detained, not all are gone. They will return someday. You should decide if you’re just looking to take a quick advantage in Huaxia or truly want to rule Huaxia.”

At this, Su Yang smiled slightly, ”Of course, you are in no position to ponder such matters. But, as for what the higher-ups in the Heavenly Court think, that is unknown. If you delay their big plans, what your fate will be, you should weigh carefully!”

After saying this, Su Yang stood up to leave, and Ghost Tomb’s expression changed immediately.

Among the Heavenly Court’s higher-ups, Ghost Tomb knew best their stance. Not once have they expressed the desire to win over Su Yang, as they very much needed some things and information Su Yang held.

Now that Su Yang had indeed come to ally with them, if this alliance failed due to Ghost Tomb’s posture, Ghost Tomb would indeed become the sinner of the Heavenly Court. His fate would surely be worse than death!

So, seeing Su Yang about to leave, Ghost Tomb panicked; he wouldn’t dare let Su Yang leave just like that.

”Su Alliance Leader, why the hurry?” Ghost Tomb quickly stood up, blocking Su Yang, and smilingly said, ”I was just joking earlier. It’s definitely a good thing you want to ally with us in the Heavenly Court. Rest assured, I’ll report this at once. There will be a response soon. Please, have some water and wait a moment!”

After quite an effort to persuade Su Yang to sit back down, Ghost Tomb quickly went to make a phone call to contact the higher-ups of the Heavenly Court.

As for Su Yang, he leisurely sat on the sofa. He could feel that the Land Immortal outside had been eavesdropping on their conversation the entire time. Moreover, this Land Immortal had left momentarily, seemingly to call someone for backup.

This Land Immortal was not foolish; he knew that he wasn’t a match for Su Yang on his own. Hence, he decided to merely keep watch without making a move.

Since the Land Immortal didn’t make a move, Su Yang naturally wouldn’t either. He seemed very interested in discussing the alliance with Ghost Tomb.

Ghost Tomb took this matter very seriously and immediately called to inform the Heavenly Court’s higher-ups of this news.

In reality, the top brass of the Heavenly Court had also dispatched many people to search for Su Yang near the Yangtze River during this period.

They were well aware of the developments north of the Yangtze River. Through some secret channels, they even learned that Su Yang had already crossed the river into their territory. Naturally, they were anxious to find Su Yang before the Heavenly Court did.

While they were searching unsuccessfully, the news from Ghost Tomb brought great joy to everyone. The higher-ups immediately instructed Ghost Tomb to tell Su Yang that they were very interested in cooperating with him and would rush over immediately to meet with him, urging Su Yang to wait there for them.

Of course, Su Yang wasn’t going to wait there for them, because he knew that experts from the four Major Sects were on their way. Waiting there would be courting death. So, he directly set up a time with them, the following night at this hour, to meet at Ghost Tomb’s place to discuss the collaboration.

Although the Heavenly Court folks were reluctant for Su Yang to leave, without fully controlling him, they dared not force Su Yang to do anything. After all, they needed Su Yang’s support.

Unlike the four Major Sects, who wanted Su Yang dead and thus were unrestrained with him, the Heavenly Court had yet to fall out with Su Yang. Naturally, they wanted to maintain a good impression so that Su Yang would willingly come to them.

If the Heavenly Court also offended Su Yang, and he went into hiding again, they would be in trouble. Given Su Yang’s successful evasion so far, finding him again would be extremely unlikely.

So, though begrudgingly, the Heavenly Court didn’t stop Su Yang but let him leave directly.

Su Yang left Ghost Tomb’s villa, clearly sensing that the Land Immortal was tailing him.

Unperturbed, Su Yang led this Land Immortal to a wooded area. When the Land Immortal was not paying attention, Su Yang suddenly accelerated and quickly left the scene.

This Land Immortal was slightly inferior in skill and, naturally, slower than Su Yang. After pursuing for a while, he lost track of Su Yang.

At this moment, Su Yang had actually looped back into the city and found a place to hide. He concealed himself within the World Melting Furnace, a place the Land Immortals couldn’t possibly discover, even if they searched the entire city.

This Land Immortal never expected that Su Yang would dare return to the city. After losing track, he immediately communicated with the Land Immortals of the four Major Sects, telling them what had transpired between Su Yang and Ghost Tomb.

The Sect Leader of the Edge of the World and the Peak Master of Sky Blade Peak were personally leading the search for Su Yang and were rushing over to deal with him.

Upon hearing that Su Yang had escaped, yet also learning of Su Yang’s agreement with the Heavenly Court to discuss collaboration the next evening, they felt a wave of panic. If Su Yang successfully allied with the Heavenly Court, the already difficult task for the four Major Sects to kill Su Yang would become even harder.
