Supreme Warrior in the City

Beigong War God and the others were unaware that the reason they could fuse with the Divine Artifacts was due to four tender leaves flying over from the Heaven-Reaching Giant Tree in the Feather Spirit Palace.

It was these four tender leaves that first fused with them, and only afterward did they fuse with the four Divine Artifacts. Without them, they would not have been able to fuse with the Divine Artifacts at all.

Now, if they thought of taking other Divine Artifacts, it would only be a fool’s dream. The Divine Artifacts in the Feather Spirit Palace weren’t so easily taken.

Seeing the Jade Bottle in Beigong War God’s hand, Monk Wunian finally heaved a sigh of relief. He looked at Su Yang and nodded, ”Thank you, Su Alliance Leader.”

Then he turned to Mahakaya and said respectfully, ”Uncle Master, I have offended you before, please forgive me. I shall go ahead now, but please, Uncle Master, for old time’s sake, help deliver this Jade Bottle to those of the Buddha Domain!”

With that said, Monk Wunian raised his hand, gathering all his power, intending to end his life by self-destructing his power.

”Wait a moment!” Su Yang placed a palm on his shoulder, dispersing the power he had just gathered.

”What is it?” Monk Wunian looked at Su Yang with concern, ”You... you want to go back on your word?”

To be honest, Monk Wunian was genuinely worried that Su Yang would go back on his word. After all, it was far too easy for Su Yang to kill him. However, if the Buddha Domain were to obtain the Divine Artifact Breath and restore the Seven Treasures Miao Tree, their strength would surely increase greatly.

For the Human World, the Buddha Domain was not a friend, and might even be considered an enemy. After all, the Buddha Domain had once invaded the Human World; although they had come for the Feather Spirit Palace at that time, the Human World always regarded them as enemies.

In such a situation, if Su Yang were to renege on his promise and refuse to hand over the Divine Artifact Breath, Monk Wunian would have no recourse.

Su Yang smiled, ”I’m not going back on my word. It’s just, why are you in such a rush? We said you need to leave your life, but we didn’t say you had to die so quickly. At least before we leave the Feather Spirit Palace, there’s no hurry for you to die!”

Monk Wunian frowned slightly, not understanding what Su Yang meant. Was he being pitied and allowed to live a little longer?

However, at this point, Monk Wunian had little say in the matter. He stopped talking and simply stood quietly by the side, allowing himself to be handled.

”Alright, there’s no one else in the Feather Spirit Palace now. Let’s continue exploring!” Su Yang smiled, leading everyone to continue traversing the Feather Spirit Palace.

They had previously been busy dealing with people from the Eight Realms. Now, with only Monk Wunian left, they had less to worry about and could properly explore.

They toured the front courtyard without any notable discoveries, and the back courtyard was the same.

Eventually, Su Yang and the others arrived at the main hall.

The main hall was still sealed, appearing inaccessible. Su Yang even attempted to fly up to enter from above, but it was all in vain. The main hall was enveloped in a faint light, preventing them from entering.

Su Yang was unsure of the current situation inside. Qi’er was still in there, as were the Little Chick and Little Grey Bird. Although these two little ones assured him that Qi’er would be fine, Su Yang was still worried. Without rescuing Qi’er, he couldn’t relax.

Wandering around outside, trying numerous methods, they remained unable to enter. Yet, the light outside the main hall began to change.

The light started to spread out, pushing Su Yang and the others outward.

”What does this mean? Are we being told to leave?” Beigong War God asked in surprise.

Everyone else looked equally puzzled, unable to resist the light that was pushing them away.

”It seems that way.” Su Yang looked at the distant main hall, noticing a red light above it, seemingly orchestrating everything.

The red light represented the power of the Feather Spirit Palace’s Master. In other words, the Master of the Feather Spirit Palace was now forcing them out.

Considering everything, the Feather Spirit Palace had been open for quite a while this time, and it was indeed time to leave.

Eventually, pushed by the light, Su Yang and the others reached the front courtyard and the exit of the Feather Spirit Palace.

”This time is different from any previous instance,” Qi Zhishan said, frowning. ”Before, anyone who didn’t leave before the Feather Spirit Palace closed would be trapped inside. This time, we’re being directly pushed out, not allowed to remain at all!”

Others shared the same perplexity at such a strange occurrence.

Su Yang remained silent, guessing that it might be due to the Feather Spirit Palace’s Master awakening, hence not allowing outsiders to stay inside.

But if outsiders weren’t meant to stay in the Feather Spirit Palace, why not let Qi’er out as well?

Su Yang was filled with complaints internally yet had no solution. With the illusion of Devouring the World in slumber, he couldn’t confront the Master of the Feather Spirit Palace, let alone rescue Qi’er.

His only hope now was that the Little Grey Bird and Little Chick were truthful, and Qi’er was truly safe.

Soon, they were pushed out of the Feather Spirit Palace’s front courtyard, reaching the valley outside.

At this moment, the rainbow-colored light outside the Feather Spirit Palace vanished, and the palace itself disappeared too. However, the faint light lingered, forcing them to walk out of the valley on foot.

Monk Wunian glanced at the direction outside the valley, suddenly raised his hand, gathering his entire power once more.

”Su Alliance Leader, I hope you keep your promise!” Monk Wunian said solemnly and raised his hand to strike his forehead.

Mahakaya sighed wistfully, clasped his hands together but said nothing more. He did not want to see his junior nephew die in such a manner. Yet, this was the only course of action. Although it was difficult to bear, sacrificing one Monk Wunian to ensure peace for the Human World—what choice should they make?

Just as Monk Wunian’s strike was about to hit his forehead, Su Yang suddenly reached out, stopping him once again.

Monk Wunian was stunned, now completely anxious, ”You... you really want to renege on our deal?”

”I won’t renege!” Su Yang smiled, ”But it just occurred to me that we retrieved the Divine Artifact Breath for you, which is a major salvation event for your Buddha Domain. Simply exchanging it for your life seems a bit too cheap, doesn’t it?”

Monk Wunian frowned, replying solemnly, ”Then... what exactly do you want?”

Mahakaya looked at Su Yang in surprise; in his impression, Su Yang wasn’t one to demand more than he deserved. What did he mean by this now?
