Supreme Warrior in the City

The Divine Master chuckled and softly said, ”Su Yang attacks these cities; we only lose some insignificant personnel. Even if Su Yang annihilates all those cities outside of ours, what does that matter? Even if all those people die, it doesn’t hurt our foundation. It doesn’t mean much to us. Achieving great things inevitably requires some sacrifices. They chose the path of cultivation, and they must have anticipated that one day they might fall in battle—that’s unavoidable. How can you accomplish great things with such indecisiveness?”

The Divine Master paused and said loudly, ”However, killing these people of Su Yang has a different significance. If we can exchange these insignificant lives for Su Yang’s life, do you think such a trade is worth it?”

The two exchanged a glance; the Divine Master’s words were indeed true. Not to mention trading these lives for Su Yang’s life, even if more people were to die, it would still be worth it.

”Divine Master, I am willing to personally lead the team to kill this person!” Pavilion Master Ling immediately exclaimed excitedly, knowing that killing Su Yang would indeed be a great merit.

The Divine Master smiled faintly, not answering directly, but said softly, ”Besides, Su Yang has divided his men into three groups, making it easier to deal with him. Before, all his men were gathered together, and we required twice his strength to take him down. Now, they’ve split into three groups, effectively dispersing their strength on their own, so we don’t need to send out so many people. Su Yang’s actions essentially allow us to handle him with much ease.”

Pavilion Master Ling and Sect Leader Qi nodded simultaneously, for indeed, Su Yang had dispersed his strength, practically seeking his own demise!

”But...” Sect Leader Qi suddenly thought of something and quickly said, ”Divine Master, with Su Yang splitting his forces into three groups, what if we end up waiting for the wrong group? If it’s the other two groups, then... wouldn’t we be wasting our efforts?”

The Divine Master smiled and shook his head, ”Not a waste. The people with Su Yang are his most trusted aides. No matter which group we encounter, even if it’s not Su Yang himself, we can capture them to lure Su Yang out. Once we’ve got them, Su Yang is doomed!”

Sect Leader Qi suddenly understood and quickly smiled, ”Divine Master, your foresight is truly comprehensive. This time, Su Yang is indeed doomed!”

”What’s the point in just letting him die!” the Divine Master said leisurely, ”I’ve summoned you two for this task, because I want you to handle it personally. Those overseas practitioners cannot be trusted; we’re all from Huaxia, and only you are worthy of my trust. Remember, Su Yang mustn’t die; we need him alive. Do you understand?”

Upon hearing this, both men were filled with excitement, nodding eagerly and swearing not to disappoint the Divine Master’s expectations. Being trusted by the Divine Master made them feel incredibly proud.

The Divine Master smiled faintly and nodded, waving them to deal with the matter.

Watching them walk away, the Divine Master then leisurely headed to the window. He looked towards Kunlun Mountain and whispered softly, ”Entering the Turquoise Pool and emerging again, the glow of the Feather Spirit Palace has yet to fade, what’s really happening inside the Turquoise Pool? Su Yang, what secret of the Feather Spirit Palace have you uncovered? Looks like, this time, I’ll not only claim Storm Valley, but also capture the Feather Spirit Palace. With two major strongholds in my grasp, I can venture into Demon Abyss. Once successful, the Nine Realms, haha, what would they be worth?”

No one heard the Divine Master’s words. If anyone had heard them, they would surely be shocked.

Many believed that the Divine Master’s ambition was only in the Human World. But who could have predicted that his ambition was so great? Even the Nine Realms mean nothing to him. How terrifying must his ambition be?

Perhaps, only the Divine Master understands that compared to his ambition, the deaths of those people truly mean nothing!

As long as he can lure out Su Yang and capture him, to uncover the secret within the Feather Spirit Palace. Then, through Storm Valley and Feather Spirit Palace, enter Demon Abyss, to obtain the ultimate secret within. When the Nine Realms converge, what would they matter against him?

The reason for choosing Pavilion Master Ling and Sect Leader Qi for this task is because both harbor resentment towards Su Yang, and are easier to control. In this matter, they will surely spare no effort.

As for those overseas practitioners, although they currently submit to him, the Divine Master knows well that they are only subdued by his strength. If not for the lack of usable people around him right now, he would not have kept these individuals.

These overseas practitioners harbor hidden agendas; the Divine Master could never let them capture Su Yang!

Pavilion Master Ling and Sect Leader Qi swiftly went out, selecting over a hundred top cultivators, and another two hundred with somewhat lesser strength. With so many members gathered, their force was already quite formidable. Even if Su Yang’s men hadn’t split into three groups, Ling and Qi’s assembled force would still feel confident in handling Su Yang’s men.

Besides, now that Su Yang’s men are split into three groups, dealing with one of these groups with their numbers would be extremely easy.

Of course, they didn’t just blindly go out, randomly picking a city to lay in ambush.

Before setting out, Pavilion Master Ling and Sect Leader Qi first studied the situation of the cities that Su Yang and his men had attacked, to determine where they might be now and analyze which places Su Yang might likely attack next.

Eventually, Ling and Qi identified a dozen or so significant cities. They chose the most likely city among them and used the Gate of Life to transport to that city overnight, finding the few cultivators guarding it, and roughly explained the situation to them. Then, these people temporarily hid using a Space Artifact.

This way, even if Su Yang and his men attack the city, they won’t detect their presence. And if the city guards were assaulted, they would immediately activate the Space Artifact, allowing the concealed ones to emerge and confront Su Yang—this is the best way to ambush him.

With everything arranged appropriately, Pavilion Master Ling and Sect Leader Qi were exceptionally excited hiding within the Space Artifact.

They had suffered considerable setbacks under Su Yang’s hand—this time, finally having the chance to capture him, their fighting spirit was especially high!

Moreover, once they capture Su Yang, they will indeed have achieved great merit. At present, they are eager to prove themselves before the Divine Master!
