Supreme Warrior in the City

Su Yang smiled and gently patted Monk Wu Nian on the shoulder, whispering, ”The Divine Artifact Breath, I can offer it to the Buddha Domain. I can even let Master Mahakaya extract more Divine Artifact Breath from the Nine-Grade Lotus Platform and give that to the Buddha Domain as well!”

Monk Wu Nian was overjoyed. Having the Divine Artifact Breath from the Nine-Grade Lotus Platform was indeed a fortunate thing.

”Then... what do I need to do?” Monk Wu Nian hurriedly asked, knowing that Su Yang wouldn’t hand over such things so easily.

”You have a lot to do!” Su Yang chuckled softly, ”Handing over the breaths of these two divine artifacts to your Buddha Domain is practically a way to save the Buddhist Domain. Naturally, you should pay a higher price. Since we from the Human World are giving something up, shouldn’t you do something for our Human World?”

”Then... what exactly do I have to do?” Monk Wu Nian felt a bit tense. Would Su Yang ask him to do something that would betray the Buddha Domain?

”I want you to pledge your life to the Human World!” Su Yang said softly, ”I want you to stay in the Human World. From now on, using your life to protect the lives within the Human World! No matter if it’s an invasion from other Eight Realms or other dangers, you must stand on the side of the Human World and fight for it!”

”What!?” Monk Wu Nian was dumbfounded. He never expected Su Yang would propose such a condition.

Mahakaya was first taken aback, then overjoyed. He finally understood Su Yang’s intention.

Su Yang did not want Monk Wu Nian to die. By letting Monk Wu Nian stay in the Human World, supposedly to fight for it, in fact, was a way to preserve Monk Wu Nian’s life.

As long as Wu Nian stayed in the Human World, there was no worry about him leaking information!

Consequently, Monk Wu Nian wouldn’t have to lose his life.

This approach truly kills two birds with one stone!

Mahakaya couldn’t help but glance at Su Yang. Although Su Yang’s words might sound calculating, demanding Monk Wu Nian to pay a price, their actual goal was to save Monk Wu Nian.

Su Yang wanted to be responsible for the Human World, and at the same time, he couldn’t bear to see someone like Wu Nian perish just like that. So, he came up with this plan to keep Wu Nian in the Human World to preserve his life.

Of course, having Wu Nian remain in the Human World and fight for it was beneficial for the Human World as well. After all, Monk Wu Nian’s strength was indeed formidable; the Human World could really use such a master!

After a while, Monk Wu Nian realized what was going on. He looked at Su Yang with wide eyes, speechless for a long time.

”What are you staring at, agree or not!” Su Yang said, ”If you agree, we shall get ready to head out!”

Monk Wu Nian gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and said solemnly, ”Su Alliance Leader, from this moment on, my life is pledged to the Human World. Except for not killing people from the Buddha Domain, anyone who dares to cause trouble in the Human World, I will risk my life to fight against them!”

”Not that dramatic!” Su Yang laughed, ”The passages from the Eight Realms only have the Heavenly Realm’s Heavenly Road still intact; it’s not as dangerous as you think with the other seven realms hardly accessing the Human World. However, I’ll remember your words; you must lend a hand when the Human World is in danger!”

”Of course!” Monk Wu Nian replied straightforwardly.

”That’s settled then!” Su Yang smiled, then turned to Mahakaya, ”Master, please bother with getting some Divine Artifact Breath from the Nine-Grade Lotus Platform!”

”Alright!” Mahakaya nodded immediately, feeling immense joy. He thought Monk Wu Nian was doomed; now, Su Yang saved Monk Wu Nian’s life, for which he was extremely grateful to Su Yang.

”However, you may need a disguise!” Su Yang said to Monk Wu Nian, ”There are many eyes outside. If you walk out like this and don’t return to the Buddha Domain, they may suspect we threatened you.”

”How should I disguise myself?” Monk Wu Nian asked immediately. He had no objections to this matter.

”Disguise yourself as Antolis.” Su Yang suggested.

”Okay!” Monk Wu Nian agreed straightaway, now entirely compliant with Su Yang’s arrangements.

Su Yang disguised Monk Wu Nian to look like Antolis and then had Mahakaya carry him on his back.

Previously crushed under the pressure of the Divine Artifact, Monk Wu Nian was severely injured, barely maintaining his aura. Now, with Mahakaya’s Buddha Domain aura present, he could effectively conceal Wu Nian’s own aura.

After doing this, upon leaving, no one would suspect Monk Wu Nian’s condition based on his aura. As long as they avoided these individuals, there shouldn’t be any major issues in the future.

With everything arranged, the group stood up and headed towards the valley’s exit.

Outside the valley, people from the Heavenly Court and Qinghe Academy were standing guard.

They had no idea that the Feather Spirit Palace had vanished, nor did they know that Su Yang and his group had exited the Feather Spirit Palace. Only when Su Yang and the others emerged did they realize that the Feather Spirit Palace was no more.

Seeing Su Yang and his group of nine, those outside were bewildered, even those from Qinghe Academy were visibly surprised.

This venture involved ninety individuals, with eighty from the Eight Realms targeting the Human Clan. To them, a total wipe—out of the Human Clan seemed the most normal outcome.

Although the headmaster and others had faith in Su Yang, they believed that if Su Yang could survive alone, it would be a stroke of luck for the Human World.

Who would have thought that out of the ten who went in, nine would return?

Of course, no one could guess that Antolis was actually the disguised Monk Wu Nian. At least, on the surface, it did appear that nine came out from the Human World.

The most crucial part was, the only ones emerging from the valley were those nine individuals. None of the other Eight Realms’ people had made it out, which was simply unfathomable.

What was going on? The supposedly weakest Human World sent ten people, returning with nine, boasting such a high survival rate. Meanwhile, any of the other Eight Realms—far stronger than the Human World—had sent eighty people without a single one returning?

The Heavenly Court Master found it hard to accept, staring towards the valley for some time before exclaiming, ”That’s it?”

”What’s missing?” Su Yang asked.

”Is no one else coming out?” the Heavenly Court Master asked urgently.

”No one else!” Su Yang replied.

”Aren’t you telling me... only you nine came out?” the Heavenly Court Master widened his eyes. ”What about the others? Not a single one got out?”

”How would I know!” Su Yang shrugged, ”Anyway, when we left, we only saw the nine of us!”
