Supreme Warrior in the City

The Lofty Pavilion Master pondered for a moment and suddenly discovered a faint trail of blood leading in the direction that the Jade-faced Judge had left.

He immediately widened his eyes, then sneered coldly: ”Hmph, I thought he really had some heaven-defying skills, but it turns out to be just like this!”

”What’s the situation?” Sect Leader Qi quickly asked with curiosity.

The Lofty Pavilion Master pointed at the blood trail in the sky and sneered: ”See those blood lines?”

Sect Leader Qi took a glance, initially stunned, then widened his eyes: ”You mean...”

”Precisely, the Blood Escape Technique!” The Lofty Pavilion Master sneered: ”Consuming one’s Lifebound True Essence to escape can indeed multiply one’s speed several folds for a short time. However, by doing so, one is completely depleting one’s foundation. This time in escaping, the Jade-faced Judge’s power will decrease by at least thirty percent in the future. Moreover, I estimate it’ll take him no less than three to five years to recover his Primordial Energy. Even if he escapes now, in the coming years, he’ll just be a cripple. Hmph, what’s the point in escaping like that?”

Sect Leader Qi showed a hint of worry and whispered: ”It’s a pity the Second Elder got away...”

”No need to worry!” The Lofty Pavilion Master replied directly: ”The Jade-faced Judge is the core figure of these people. Once he collapses, there’s nothing for them to worry about. We just need to deploy more manpower and search with all our might; how long can they stay hidden? By then, the Jade-faced Judge will be a useless man, and when these people see us again, will they still have the power to resist? Their escape this time merely delays their death, but in the end, they must die. Why should we worry?”

Sect Leader Qi thought it made sense and ceased worrying.

”If that’s the case, let’s first capture Su Yang and bring him back...” Sect Leader Qi turned his gaze downward, only to be shocked to find that the positions where Su Yang and Lv Donglin were standing were now empty.

”This... What happened?” Sect Leader Qi widened his eyes: ”Where is Su Yang? Where is Lv Donglin? Where are they?”

Everyone at the scene looked over in unison, also stunned; the two were nowhere to be found. However, no one felt them leave.

”Where are the people? Where are the people?” The Lofty Pavilion Master too was enraged. How did these two disappear all of a sudden, right from the scene?

They clearly saw the Second Elder escape earlier; Su Yang and Lv Donglin were just here. But how could they disappear in such a short time?

Everyone looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what had happened. The Second Elder and the Three-eyed Ghost King had fled, the Jade-faced Judge had also fled, everyone was still in a daze, and Su Yang and Lv Donglin on this side were ignored. No one knew how the two had escaped.

”When the Second Elder ran off, they were still here. They can’t have gone far in such a short time!” Sect Leader Qi called out loudly: ”You all, spread out immediately. One group go in all directions to chase them down, another group conduct a carpet search. We absolutely cannot let them escape!”

Everyone quickly dispersed to search, while the Lofty Pavilion Master furrowed his brows and said sternly: ”I reckon these two didn’t run away. If they made too much commotion, we would certainly feel it; they’re not getting away.”

”What do you mean?” Sect Leader Qi asked.

The Lofty Pavilion Master looked around and said in a deep voice: ”I suspect they might still be near here!”

”No way!” Sect Leader Qi said: ”If they were here, we’d definitely sense them. With our Divine Sense, they couldn’t hide from us both!”

”What if they’re not in this space?” The Lofty Pavilion Master retorted.

Sect Leader Qi scratched his head: ”You mean they’ve hidden in another space?”

”Su Yang definitely has a Space Artifact; they’ve surely hidden inside it, otherwise, why was it that the four Major Sects and Heaven spent so much effort yet couldn’t find them!” The Lofty Pavilion Master said solemnly: ”Look around, see if there’s any Space Artifact, don’t let them deceive us!”

”True!” Sect Leader Qi nodded and immediately took a few people to conduct a carpet search in the vicinity.

Soon enough, they really found a bracelet on the ground.

”It’s indeed a Space Artifact!” Sect Leader Qi brought the bracelet to the Lofty Pavilion Master, sneering: ”That Su’s must be hiding inside. But doing so, what difference is it from an ostrich? Hiding in this bracelet, does he really think we’re helpless? I’ll get them out first!”

The Lofty Pavilion Master calmly looked at the bracelet. With the Second Elder having escaped, capturing Su Yang at least made the trip worthwhile.

Sect Leader Qi held the bracelet in his hand, attempting to open it. However, after several tries, he couldn’t open the bracelet at all.

A bit angry, he tried with more power, intending to break its seal. Yet, after several attempts, he couldn’t break the seal, feeling a bit deflated.

”What happened?” The Lofty Pavilion Master inquired.

”This bracelet’s seal seems quite strong!” Sect Leader Qi frowned: ”Hard to open!”

”Let me try!” The Lofty Pavilion Master took the bracelet and tried it himself, but yielded no results. The bracelet’s seal was even stronger than he had imagined.

This seal was set by the person who initially refined this Space Artifact. To enter this space, one either has to know the artifact’s opening method or break the seal.

Of course, they didn’t know the method to open the artifact, so they could only try to break the seal.

The Lofty Pavilion Master tried several times without success, causing his brows to furrow.

”The one who initially refined this Space Artifact must have had significant power!” Sect Leader Qi murmured beside him.

After pondering for a moment while holding the bracelet, the Lofty Pavilion Master said sternly: ”Have the others return, let’s head back first, then I’ll think of a way to gather people to open this bracelet!”

”Sounds good!” Sect Leader Qi nodded. With just the two of them, it was impossible to open the bracelet. However, they could gather people, and collectively, they could break the seal.

The Lofty Pavilion Master held the bracelet, Sect Leader Qi gathered the group, and they did not linger in this area, swiftly leaving.

About three hours later, a boulder nearby suddenly rolled over, and two people jumped out—Su Yang and Lv Donglin.

Looking around, Lv Donglin immediately laughed: ”It’s true, they all ran off. Su Yang, you have such a way to deceive all these people!”

”Hehe...” Su Yang chuckled softly: ”They guessed I was hiding inside a Space Artifact, so I left them a Space Bracelet. They surely think they’ve found us, so how could they continue searching then?”
