Supreme Warrior in the City

Capital City Qinghe Academy.

Inside, everything is quiet for now, as the Divine Master secretly leaves with a few trusted followers, unnoticed by anyone. The people of Qinghe Academy are still waiting for the Divine Master to issue new orders.

Although the Divine Master fought Mahakaya in the basement, and even the Martial Champion had personally visited, the basement remains sealed by the array set by Su Zhan, preventing any disturbances from escaping. Those outside have no idea what transpired within.

Sect Leader Ling and Sect Leader Qi have been waiting in the hall for over two hours, but the Divine Master has yet to appear, leaving them feeling anxious.

Of course, they never imagined that the Divine Master would sneak away. To them, everything was under the Divine Master’s control, unaware that Su Yang had already revealed the Investiture of the Gods, they were still plotting on how to capture Su Yang to earn merit with the Divine Master.

Despite the prolonged absence of the Divine Master, their only worry was whether the Divine Master was dissatisfied due to failure and hence not planning to use them. They even debated whether to seek the Divine Master out, and reaffirm their commitment to capturing Su Yang at all costs.

As these individuals were steeped in worry, a sudden loud voice boomed from outside Qinghe Academy: ”Divine Master, come out and face death!”

The words stunned everyone. How could anyone dare storm the Divine Palace’s stronghold, and still have the audacity to demand the death of the Divine Master?

Sect Leader Ling and Sect Leader Qi exchanged glances, instantly reacting by flying into the sky and shouting, ”Who dares to show such disrespect to the Divine Master? Today is your death, we…”

Before they could finish, they were dumbstruck, for the sky before them was crowded with people, numbering around one to two thousand, and each possessed formidable strength.

Most critically, among those people, they recognized many familiar faces.

The presence of Su Yang at the forefront was alarming enough, but what truly made them fearful were the people standing behind him.

The third generation Martial God, Heavenly Court Master, Principal, Xu Fenghou, Lord of the North, people from Qinghe Academy, among the Ten Great Sects, people from Heavenly Court — they were all old acquaintances!

The one who had shouted was indeed the Lord of the North. Upon seeing Sect Leader Ling and Sect Leader Qi fly out, the Lord of the North’s expression turned cold, ”You two scoundrels are still here. Conveniently, I’ll save myself a trip!”

With that, the Lord of the North flew straight towards Sect Leader Ling and Sect Leader Qi.

Their expressions turned urgent; the Lord of the North’s power was incredibly formidable. Even if they joined forces, they weren’t opponents for the Lord of the North.

In a panic, they attempted to avoid the Lord of the North. But with his overwhelming strength, how could they possibly evade his attacks?

In the end, both were struck by the Lord of the North, crashing to the ground, spitting blood from their mouths, with internal organs violently churning, a sight of utter wretchedness.

Still, the Lord of the North showed no sign of stopping, landing from the sky quickly to strike the pair with the intent to kill them on the spot.

They were almost terrified to wet themselves, Sect Leader Ling hurriedly turned his head and yelled, ”Divine Master, save us!”

Sect Leader Qi panicked even more, retreating dozens of steps to try to dodge the Lord of the North’s assault.

Just then, fortunately, many people rushed out from Qinghe Academy. Seeing the scene, a dozen people charged to intercept the Lord of the North, sparing the lives of the two.

However, the number from Qinghe Academy was far fewer than those in the sky.

All the cultivators of Heavenly Court, along with all the Land Immortals of Huaxia nation, amounted to around one to two thousand people.

Their combat strengths may have varied, but they included quite a few formidable existences.

If the Divine Master’s previous three to four hundred possessors were still here, the outcome of this battle would have been uncertain.

But now, those possessors of the Divine Master were all gone, leaving only these few people remaining, how could they possibly be opponents for Su Yang’s side?

”What’s... What’s the situation here?” asked Sandaoshima Yofu, rushing over in a bewildered manner.

Sect Leader Qi staggered to meet him, trembling, ”Quickly, call for the Divine Master. Heavenly Court... Heavenly Court, Qinghe Academy, and Ten Great Sects, all of Huaxia’s Land Immortals are out...”

”Huh? Weren’t they sealed in the Investiture of the Gods? Weren’t they thrown into Storm Valley?” Sandaoshima Yofu queried anxiously.

”How should I know!” Sect Leader Qi cried out, ”Stop dawdling, quickly fetch the Divine Master!”

Sandaoshima Yofu hurriedly turned to head upstairs to find the Divine Master. At that moment, several individuals descended from above, the leader hastily exclaiming as he landed, ”It’s bad! The Divine Master is not upstairs!”

”What?” Gasped everyone, at that moment, a sense of an impending disaster dawned upon them.

”If the Divine Master isn’t upstairs, where could he have gone?” Sect Leader Qi pressed urgently, ”What about Liao Yuxuan? Ask him!”

”Liao Yuxuan is missing too!”

”Mr. Jin Ye is also missing!”

”…”

People continuously shouted, and after hearing those words, everyone was aghast to find that the Divine Master and his trusted aides had all vanished.

They looked at each other, now almost certain that the ominous feeling they had experienced had come true!

The Divine Master had indeed left!

The people in the sky saw the chaos below and burst into laughter, Lord of the North sneered, ”Fools, don’t you get it? The Divine Master only took his trusted aides, he’s completely abandoned you!”

The crowd turned pale, a man voiced his refusal with bitterness, ”No way, the Divine Master would never abandon us. The Divine Master is a visionary, he must have other plans, you should not speak ill of the Divine Master…”

”Still clueless!” Lord of the North interrupted, ”The Divine Master left the Investiture of the Gods in Storm Valley, especially setting an array with his power imprint within. When Su Yang retrieved the Investiture of the Gods, he was informed instantly. Yet he didn’t alert you, just ran off with his aides instead; you still don’t see what’s happening? You fools are so pathetic, being sold out and still staying here counting money for the seller?”

The people below fell into despair, for they didn’t understand the situation with the Investiture of the Gods. Now hearing Lord of the North lay it out, they confirmed the Divine Master had indeed known beforehand about Su Yang retrieving the Investiture of the Gods, and he had truly abandoned them.
