Supreme Warrior in the City

Although Su Yang was elected as the alliance leader by Qinghe Academy, he was still very young. In negotiations with the Heavenly Court Master, it was the dean, a two-thousand-year-old old fox, who could hold his ground.

As for Su Yang, when compared to the Heavenly Court Master, he was still far weaker.

The rest of the people were locked up at Qinghe Academy, where affairs between the Heavenly Court and Qinghe Academy, along with those of the six major sects, were being dealt with.

Su Yang, however, took his people directly back to the Shen Family manor where he had previously resided.

This place had been occupied by people from the ends of the earth for some time, but later, as infighting broke out among the four major sects, those people fled in haste, leaving the manor vacant. Then, when the Divine Master took control of Qinghe Academy, the place was occupied again.

But now, this place had returned to Su Yang’s hands.

He had someone clean the place up and called his people over.

Due to the Divine Master incident, Su Yang had lost many close friends and family. Many of those friends he had in Nanluo City were no longer around.

Su Yang felt a bit melancholic, but he knew this was only normal.

After the calamity of the Investiture of the Gods, Huaxia plunged into extreme chaos. Su Yang, as the great enemy of many, was fortunate to still have so many people by his side.

Once everyone was settled, Su Yang called out those he had brought out from the Turquoise Pool.

These individuals had been following Su Yang ever since leaving the Turquoise Pool, assisting him in resisting the Divine Master.

Now that things were finally settled, Su Yang wanted to consult with them.

Previously, in dealing with the Divine Master, these people had to follow him. Now that the matter was settled, Su Yang couldn’t keep them by his side forever; any one of these individuals was a figure capable of ruling a domain. Perhaps some might want to leave and command their own territory as a ruler.

After hearing Su Yang’s words, many fell into silence, but Yanbei’s Three Eagles were the first to speak.

The elder eagle stepped forward, his expression excited, ”Su Alliance Leader, our lives as Three Eagles of Yanbei were rescued by you. You saved us three times, so we entrust our lives to you. We’ve been in the Feather Spirit Palace for so long that we no longer have family or friends, or any descendants to leave behind a sect. So going elsewhere holds no meaning for us. If you don’t mind, we wish to always follow you!”

”Yes, we wish to follow Su Alliance Leader!” The second and third eagle echoed together.

Su Yang smiled. Indeed, he could understand the sentiments of Yanbei’s Three Eagles. Their gratitude toward him was genuine, yet it wasn’t enough to warrant such respectful allegiance.

The reason these three chose to follow him was because of Su Yang’s considerable strength, which wasn’t limited to his personal prowess but also his wide array of connections.

Being someone endorsed by Qinghe Academy and the leader among the Ten Great Sects, having saved so many individuals, Su Yang was indeed deeply appreciated. Even before the Heavenly Court Master, Su Yang could stand on equal footing. Clearly, this promising future for Su Yang is boundless!

Moreover, Su Yang possessed substantial skills, including alchemy abilities that surpassed the Medicine Sect. His personal strength wasn’t weak, and coupled with his strong background, following Su Yang wouldn’t lead to losses.

Not to mention, simply from the Turquoise Pool, the Flat Peaches that Su Yang had, Yanbei’s Three Eagles helped him pack them personally. They knew exactly how many there were. By staying with Su Yang, they wouldn’t miss out on Flat Peaches, as Su Yang wasn’t stingy.

But what if Yanbei’s Three Eagles left Su Yang’s side?

During their era, the Three Eagles of Yanbei were considered mighty figures. But things were different now. With so many experts in the Human World, leaving Su Yang would make claiming a notable territory impossible.

Moreover, the second eagle had previously violated Heavenly Court’s rules. If he left Su Yang now, the Heavenly Court might retaliate later. However, under Su Yang’s protection, it would be different. Su Yang shielding them means the Heavenly Court probably can’t do much, especially now that in the Human World, the Human Clan is strong, whereas the Heavenly Court is weak!

Therefore, Yanbei’s Three Eagles decided to stay with Su Yang. Here, they had food and comfort without the worry of trouble from others. The key point being Su Yang treated them with absolute respect, without any arrogance. In such circumstances, would they choose to leave?

In fact, not just Yanbei’s Three Eagles thought this way, but many others did too.

Apart from a few whose families or sects still existed for them to visit, most remained with Su Yang.

Those who went back to their families and sects mostly did so only to reminisce, as they made clear that they would eventually return to Su Yang’s side.

Ultimately, fewer than ten people actually left Su Yang.

However, among these dozen individuals, there was a significant figure who departed, and that was Lin Mie.

Lin Mie was considered the top expert among Su Yang’s group. When the Investiture of the Gods opened and powerful experts emerged, many of Su Yang’s people were forced back by their presence. Only Lin Mie remained, steadfast and unmoving.

Lin Mie, according to what the third-generation Martial God quietly shared with Su Yang later, undoubtedly had prowess comparable to Xu Fenghou.

Su Yang had personally witnessed Xu Fenghou’s abilities, so Lin Mie’s strength need not be elaborated.

Lin Mie’s departure was simple; he wanted to go out and practice his blade.

Su Yang didn’t understand what Lin Mie meant by practicing his blade, nor did he try to stop him. He provided Lin Mie with plenty of elixirs and three Turquoise Pool Flat Peaches — a small token of his sincerity.

Lin Mie accepted these offerings without refusal. He once lost to the third-generation Martial God and later made determined efforts. Though having repeatedly felt he wasn’t a match for the third-generation Martial God, it seemed the gap in strength had narrowed over the years.

Yet when the third-generation Martial God emerged from the Investiture of the Gods, he realized the vast gap still existed, rendering all his hard practice meaningless. The disparity only grew.

This dealt him a heavy blow, urging him to further enhance his abilities.
