Supreme Warrior in the City

Su Yang and the others quickly cleaned up the battlefield and left the place with the remaining few people. Moreover, they did not dare to linger nearby, and swiftly fled after leaving.

About half an hour after Su Yang and his group left, a black vortex suddenly appeared in the northwest of Yan Gui City. Dozens of people emerged from the black vortex, including Sect Leader Qi of Tianya Haijiao and the Master of Lingxiao Pavilion.

As soon as Sect Leader Qi came out, he roared in anger, ”Where is he? Where is he? Where is that bastard Su?”

Qi Yongchuan was killed by Su Yang, and in the end, only his soul escaped. Although he could still be reborn through taking over another body, his strength would inevitably suffer a great decline. Growing back to his former power would not be an easy task.

Qi Yongchuan was Sect Leader Qi’s son, a son in whom he had placed great expectations. As a result, for Qi Yongchuan to end up in this state, essentially half a cripple, Sect Leader Qi’s anger was beyond imagination.

During this time, Sect Leader Qi kept sending people everywhere to search for Su Yang’s whereabouts, wishing he could personally kill Su Yang.

The top-level cultivator just used the Gate of Life to escape and told the Divine Master what happened here in Yan Gui City. Sect Leader Qi immediately guessed that the person who came here was Su Yang. Therefore, he volunteered to be the pioneer, arriving in Yan Gui City as soon as possible, just to find Su Yang and take revenge.

However, when he arrived, he did not find even a silhouette, which made Sect Leader Qi extremely enraged.

The Master of Lingxiao Pavilion flew into the air and searched all around, but also found no traces.

When Su Yang and his group were escaping, Zhao Yuanzhou was at the rear. This person was best at concealing auras and particularly skilled in methods of escape, ensuring that any traces left by their flight were completely erased.

Everyone spread out and searched the surroundings, but found nothing.

At this moment, the second batch of people sent by the Divine Master also arrived.

This group was led by Liao Yuxuan, whose face bore a shadowy glow. Seeing the expressions of everyone present, he knew that Su Yang and his group had already escaped, and the venom in his eyes intensified.

”Send orders to block all areas around Yan Gui City!” Liao Yuxuan commanded sinisterly, ”Even if they run, they can’t run far. With so many people, I don’t believe they can leave without a trace.”

In fact, when Su Yang and his group started running, there weren’t as many people as before.

Most of them had been placed into the Little Turtle’s Turtle Shell Space by Su Yang, with only three people left by his side.

After running for half a day, Su Yang and his group had fled a thousand miles away before they finally stopped.

They found a deserted place to hide, leaving Zhao Yuanzhou and Lei Peng outside to keep watch while Su Yang took Lin Mie into the Turtle Shell Space.

The people Su Yang’s group had captured before were now locked inside this space.

After Su Yang entered, the Three Eagles of Yanbei were still interrogating these people. Separating them, they managed to extract a lot of information.

Apart from the information Su Yang had previously extracted from Liang Yuanqiu, they also learned a lot about the situation with the Divine Master.

For instance, it was previously said that after Liao Yuxuan and others were possessed, these possessed individuals essentially ceased to exist. Whether it was Liao Yuxuan, Gong Yeliang, or Mr. Jinye, they were considered completely dead.

But in fact, the situation was not like that; the Divine Master actually deceived Su Yang.

The reason the Divine Master chose to use these individuals for possession was indeed as the Divine Master had said, it was directional possession.

And directional possession was not as simple as the Divine Master claimed, not something that could be accomplished just with post-cultivation. Because the preserved strength was too little, it did not meet the Divine Master’s desired outcome.

The Divine Master’s notion of directional possession was actually more complex, involving an innate nurturing process first. Simply put, it involved selecting suitable individuals and, before their birth, injecting a part of the Immortal’s soul into their mother’s body so that they would be nurtured from when they were still inside their mother.

Once these individuals were born, thanks to the transformation by the Immortal’s soul, their bodies would gradually become similar to that of the former Immortal, thereby becoming the most suitable body for that Immortal. In fact, these individuals also essentially became a part of the Immortal, as the Immortal’s soul held a dominant position in their bodies.

Liao Yuxuan was precisely such a case, chosen to become the Furnace for the Three-faced Divine Lord before he was born. The Divine Master injected part of the Three-faced Divine Lord’s soul into his mother, so after he was born, he directly inherited this part of the soul, thus beginning to possess part of the Three-faced Divine Lord’s aura.

Liao Yuxuan’s parents actually knew about this matter. However, they didn’t know what the result of this would be. At the time, the Divine Master used some rather mystical means, making these people suspect their child was a reincarnated Immortal, for which they were quite proud.

Later on, once these people matured, they would completely merge with the former soul, marking the success of the possession. However, even after the successful possession, previous memories would still exist. After all, during Liao Yuxuan’s maturation process, the part of the Three-faced Divine Lord’s soul in his body also experienced the same growth process.

Liao Yuxuan’s body, rather than being Liao Yuxuan, was more akin to being the Three-faced Divine Lord. So, even if he eventually transformed fully into the Three-faced Divine Lord, the hatred for Su Yang remained, and past grudges and grievances had not disappeared!

This was also why, after Su Yang entered the Turquoise Pool, Liao Yuxuan led people to kill those on Su Yang’s side. Even Hou Shilin died by his hands, including Master Fang and the Eight-faced Yama, those who worked for Su Yang, all were personally slain by Liao Yuxuan and Gong Yeliang.

As for Liu Shuangcan, his situation was different. He was not subject to directional possession, so after Liu Shuangcan became the Black Demon, he no longer had previous memories.

Understanding these circumstances made Su Yang even more enraged. When he previously encountered Liao Yuxuan and the others on Kunlun Mountain, the Divine Master had deceived him with such lies, and Liao Yuxuan and others showed no hatred in their eyes, making Su Yang believe they had truly lost their past memories. Unexpectedly, all these people were merely acting.

It must be said, the Divine Master truly was insidious enough. It’s no wonder they could deceive so many people, even the Qilin soul was fooled by him, and the assassin fell into his trap as well. This person carried out plans with such meticulous precision. Long ago, everything had been plotted out, and in this regard, even the Jade-faced Judge could not come close to him!
