Supreme Warrior in the City

Su Yang’s heart stirred; the Beigong War God’s reputation was immense in the north. It could be said that in the north, as long as one was a cultivator, no one didn’t know of the Beigong War God.

These three people, to be called the Three Eagles of Yanbei, were not ordinary. Moreover, looking at their martial arts techniques just now, it was evident they were using martial arts backed by powerful secret techniques, showing that their cultivation was not simple. Needless to say, these three people must be cultivators.

However, the fact that they hadn’t heard the name of the Beigong War God was truly perplexing.

For such a thing to happen, there could only be one reason, that is, these three people and the Beigong War God belonged to different eras. When the Beigong War God rose to prominence, these three were already gone, which is why such a situation arose.

”You three...” Su Yang asked in a low voice, ”How many years have you been trapped in this valley?”

”This valley?” The leading eagle thought for a moment and said, ”We’ve been trapped in this valley for almost three years.”

”Three years?” Su Yang’s face changed. He too had been trapped in this valley for three years. Does this mean these three entered the valley at the same time as him?

However, Su Yang vividly remembered that with him, only those winged cultivators had fallen into this valley, no one else.

Could it be that these three were mingled among those winged cultivators?

”You… what is your relationship with those winged cultivators?” Su Yang asked solemnly.

”What... what winged cultivators?” The three were all surprised.

Su Yang observed their expressions; they didn’t seem to be lying, which made Su Yang even more puzzled. The three seemed unassociated with the winged cultivators, so what on earth was the situation?

After contemplating for a while, Su Yang suddenly asked, ”Where did you fall into this valley from?”

Although it was the winged cultivators who had fallen into the valley with Su Yang, the numerous peaks surrounding the valley might mean these three had fallen from a different location.

”We... we fell from the Feather Spirit Palace...” the three said softly.

”The Feather Spirit Palace!?” Su Yang’s eyes widened; he hadn’t expected such an answer.

Seeing Su Yang’s shocked expression, the three were also dumbfounded and cast puzzled glances at him.

”Is there… a problem with that?” the lead eagle trembled as he asked, truly fearing that by saying something wrong, they might provoke Su Yang and thus face doom.

Su Yang’s mind was racing with thoughts about the situation. These three people had actually fallen from the Feather Spirit Palace. Additionally, the time they fell was almost similar to when Su Yang himself had, so what was really going on here?

”You fell from the Feather Spirit Palace?” Su Yang asked, ”How did you come to be at the Feather Spirit Palace?”

The eagle responded, ”When the Feather Spirit Palace opened before, we wanted to try our luck, so we entered. As a result, we got lost inside and had no idea how many years went by, but it felt eternal, possibly thousands or tens of thousands of years, with no exit. We had given up hope until three years ago, when a sudden beam of light pushed us out of the Feather Spirit Palace and into this valley.”

Su Yang was dumbstruck, recalling the situation when they first fell into the valley. Su Yang remembered clearly that as they fell, a beam of light appeared. Could this beam be the same one mentioned by the eagle?

”When we fell into this valley, we thought we could finally escape. Unexpectedly, the valley was even worse than being in the Feather Spirit Palace!” The second eagle said dejectedly, ”Inside this valley, all our powers vanished. Not only did we lose our protective powers, but crucially, we needed to eat, drink, and defecate just like ordinary people. Inside the Feather Spirit Palace, we could at least cultivate as long as we absorbed sufficient spiritual energy. But upon entering this valley, we... we became like savages, forced to hunt and gather food to survive.”

The third eagle nodded repeatedly and said angrily, ”The most crucial thing is that during these three years, no matter how we’ve cultivated, we haven’t made any progress at all. We seem to have become mere ordinary people; restarting cultivation isn’t even possible, so we’re stuck lingering here while aging. At this rate, we either starve here or die of old age!”

Su Yang recalled his own experiences during these three years, which were exactly the same as what these three people felt. It seemed that such situations were not unique to him; others in the valley had faced similar circumstances.

”When did you enter the Feather Spirit Palace?” Su Yang suddenly asked.

The eagle thought for a bit, ”We entered the Feather Spirit Palace roughly during the Chongzhen Period...”

”What?” Su Yang widened his eyes. He suddenly understood what was going on.

The Chongzhen Period was three to four hundred years ago. So, these three were from three to four hundred years ago, no wonder they didn’t know about the Beigong War God. When they entered the Feather Spirit Palace, the Beigong War God didn’t yet exist!

”Do you know the Medical Saint Sect?” Su Yang eagerly asked.

”Yes, of course, the Medical Saint founded it with his own hands!” the eagle quickly replied, ”I was quite good friends with him. He crafted many elixir pills for me...”

The conversation stopped abruptly because the eagle dared not continue, not knowing what relationship Su Yang had with the Medical Saint. If they were enemies, speaking further would be courting death.

Su Yang, however, paid no heed to that. He was now completely certain that these three people were indeed from three to four hundred years ago, from the same era as the Medical Saint. They entered the Feather Spirit Palace when it opened, became lost inside, and then, three years ago, when Su Yang fell into the valley, they too fell from the Feather Spirit Palace into this valley, leading to the present situation.

”So, you’ve indeed spent three to four hundred years in the Feather Spirit Palace?” Su Yang asked curiously.

”Three to four hundred years?” The three looked at each other, and the third eagle immediately replied, ”Impossible! We’ve spent thousands, even tens of thousands of years in there!”

”What?” Su Yang was also stunned, ”How could it be such a long time? You entered only about three to four hundred years ago, how could so long have passed?”

”No way,” the eagle said, ”The three of us have been recording time, and to be precise, it’s been seven to eight thousand years!”

”Seven to eight thousand years?” Su Yang was extremely surprised. What could this mean? Could it be that the Feather Spirit Palace, like the World Melting Furnace, had different time flows inside than outside?
