Supreme Warrior in the City

The Jade-faced Judge softly said, ”No matter where they hide, as long as they are in this world, I can definitely find them. But it’s been so long without a trace. Heh, could they still be hiding in this world?”

A gleam flashed in the Tri-eyed Ghost King’s eyes, and he quickly said, ”Master, do you mean they are hiding in another world?”

”It could also be in another space!” the Jade-faced Judge said. ”Don’t forget, Su Yang’s main method of hiding during this period has been to hide in another space, allowing him to remain hidden for so long.”

”But with so many people, how big a space must it be to hold them all?” the Tri-eyed Ghost King said. ”And all this time, these people have never appeared. Don’t they feel stifled?”

”That’s the crux of the problem!” the Jade-faced Judge said. ”I suspect Su Yang has a very large Space Artifact, one that is much larger than any Space Artifact we’ve seen before!”

”What?!” the Tri-eyed Ghost King widened his eyes. ”No way. The ship from the Heavenly Court before was already large enough. Could Su Yang’s Space Artifact be even bigger than that ship?”

The Jade-faced Judge nodded calmly, and the Tri-eyed Ghost King’s face changed again. ”Then... then this is truly a heaven-defying treasure!”

”If Su Yang indeed has such a Space Artifact, it means that the Black Widow, his friends and those from the Six Major Sects, can always be with him anywhere and anytime!” the Jade-faced Judge looked at the Tri-eyed Ghost King. ”Now, what do you think will happen to the Zodiac Ghost Kings?”

The Tri-eyed Ghost King took a sharp breath and whispered, ”Master, do you mean the Zodiac Ghost Kings have all been slain?”

”They won’t die!” the Jade-faced Judge shook his head. ”Those twelve people acted too foolishly. When I told them to feign search and retreat strategically, they directly rushed into that cave without even pretending to search. Su Yang is a clever person. By doing this, they’ve exposed the Phantom Soul matter. I estimate Su Yang won’t kill them but will probably keep them for interrogation!”

”They won’t say anything!” the Tri-eyed Ghost King immediately said. ”These people absolutely wouldn’t dare betray you, master!”

”In the Human World, they indeed don’t dare to betray me, but entering another space might be a different story,” the Jade-faced Judge said softly. ”Moreover, Su Yang has methods. The Heavenly Destiny Treasure Book surely records many ways to torture people, and those twelve surely can’t withstand his torture!”

The Tri-eyed Ghost King took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, ”Master, do you mean the Phantom Soul affair is already exposed?”

The Jade-faced Judge nodded slowly, and the Tri-eyed Ghost King’s complexion changed instantly. ”Then... why did Su Yang and Lv Donglin come out? And they’re running around like this, aren’t they afraid we’ll find them?”

”That’s the key issue...” the Jade-faced Judge softly said. ”Su Yang knows about the Phantom Soul affair and still comes out recklessly. What kind of conspiracy is behind this?”

The Tri-eyed Ghost King gasped, thinking it over carefully, indeed agreeing.

”Master, do you mean that Su Yang and Lv Donglin came out as a trap?” the Tri-eyed Ghost King whispered. ”They want to lure us in!”

The Jade-faced Judge nodded calmly, and the Tri-eyed Ghost King was immediately surprised, then hurriedly said, ”Good thing, good thing we didn’t impulsively send people to hunt them down. Otherwise, this time we would surely have suffered again. Master, Su Yang is really too cunning!”

The Jade-faced Judge remained utterly calm, smiling faintly, ”No matter how cunning he is, so what? He doesn’t know our true intentions, so whatever he does poses no threat to us.”

The Tri-eyed Ghost King nodded, pondering for a moment, then whispered, ”Master, should I send someone to follow them, to see what tricks they are up to? In the meantime, we could seize the opportunity and take them out when they lose patience and let their guard down...”

”No!” the Jade-faced Judge decisively shook his head. ”Su Yang came out this time to deliberately lure us in. If we don’t take action, he will certainly guess that we already know their purpose. By then, knowing his plan is useless, he’ll definitely hide away to save his life. Then, it’ll be even harder to find him!”

”Then what should we do now?” the Tri-eyed Ghost King said in amazement, ”There is obviously a trap, and we can’t just jump right in, can we?”

”Why can’t we jump right in?” the Jade-faced Judge asked with a faint smile.

”Uh?” the Tri-eyed Ghost King looked at the Jade-faced Judge in astonishment, not understanding what he meant.

”The Second Elder wants me to kill Su Yang, and only then will he take us to find the Boundary Point,” the Jade-faced Judge said with a faint smile. ”However, some things aren’t always absolute. The Second Elder is extremely afraid of dying. If we let him completely know that there’s no hope of killing Su Yang, not even guaranteeing his own life, he’ll surely want to escape more. So, I want him to witness firsthand how we fall into Su Yang’s scheme this time, how many people are lost, and let him experience that feeling of death hanging over his head. By then, without us saying anything, he’ll definitely take us to the boundary point himself!”

The Tri-eyed Ghost King pondered and softly asked, ”But Master, how many people would we lose this way?”

”Heh...” the Jade-faced Judge smiled faintly. ”Don’t forget, there’s already a batch of people here that we should deal with.”

The Tri-eyed Ghost King was initially stunned but then his eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, ”Master, are you referring to that group? This... this is indeed suitable. After all, these people are destined to die. It would be better to let them go to Su Yang to die. On the one hand, it neatly deals with these people, and on the other hand, it can scare the Second Elder!”

The Jade-faced Judge nodded with a faint smile, ”Now you understand my meaning!”

”Understood!” the Tri-eyed Ghost King quickly stood up and said with excitement, ”Master, I’ll make the arrangements right away!”

The Jade-faced Judge nodded calmly, and the Tri-eyed Ghost King excitedly walked to the door. Just as he was about to leave, he stopped, turned to look at the Jade-faced Judge, ”Master, if Su Yang’s plan this time, and if the Second Elder personally goes, wouldn’t scaring him be secondary? The key thing is not to let him die. Master, should we arrange some people to ensure the Second Elder’s safety?”

”No need!” the Jade-faced Judge shook his head. ”I will personally act to ensure his safety. You only need to arrange that group of people to go to their deaths!”
