Supreme Warrior in the City

The Heavenly Court Master looked at Su Yang, who remained calm and smiled, ”Immortal Elder, if there’s nothing else, shall we go back and rest for a while?”

The Heavenly Court Master was taken aback. What do you mean, go back and rest? After all I’ve said, shouldn’t you give me an answer immediately? Or perhaps, you should directly draw the map of Feather Spirit Palace?

Now you’re saying to go back and rest; are you not planning to draw the map of Feather Spirit Palace? Was everything I said in vain?

The Heavenly Court Master’s brows furrowed, and he said solemnly, ”Su Alliance Leader, are you still unwilling to share the map of Feather Spirit Palace with the Eight Realms?”

”Immortal Elder, why are you in such a hurry?” Su Yang said, ”Didn’t I just say I needed to think it over? This matter is of great importance, and I need to consider it thoroughly, at least consult a few people, right?”

The Heavenly Court Master glanced at the dean and others standing beside Su Yang and eventually didn’t press further. He knew that if Su Yang was unwilling, forcing him wouldn’t achieve anything. The matter could only proceed if Su Yang willingly handed over the map.

Of course, the Heavenly Court Master was confident Su Yang would hand over the map. After all, what he said before wasn’t empty words but the actual situation now. If Su Yang doesn’t provide the Feather Spirit Palace map, the Eight Realms won’t let the Human World be!

”Alright, then go back and consider it. I hope you can give me an answer soon!” The Heavenly Court Master paused, speaking softly, ”We can give you time, but the other seven realms’ people might not be as patient.”

”Thank you for the reminder, Immortal Elder!” Su Yang smiled faintly, ”I will give you an answer soon regarding this matter!”

The Heavenly Court Master stepped aside, and Su Yang, accompanied by the dean and others, returned to Qinghe Academy first.

The Heavenly Court’s members walked behind, watching the members of the Human Realm leave. The Heavenly Court Master immediately sent people back into the valley to explore once more, trying to see if anything was left behind in the Feather Spirit Palace.

In the end, they found nothing. After Feather Spirit Palace vanished, nothing was left in the valley, and they couldn’t find the slightest trace of clues.

At this time, an elder was also released. He walked over with a face full of anger, not finding Su Yang on the scene. He immediately exclaimed in anger, ”Immortal Elder, what are you doing? All ten of our Heavenly Realm people died inside, including Wei Qing from the Wei Family. If we don’t investigate the one named Su, how do you intend to explain this to the Heavenly Realm and the Wei Family?”

The Heavenly Court Master glanced at the elder and said coldly, ”You are mistaken; the explaining is your responsibility, not mine. How to explain it is your concern; why ask me?”

The elder became indignant, ”Although it’s my duty to report back, don’t forget, this is the Human Realm. The Heavenly Court was sent by the Heavenly Realm to oversee the Human Realm, meaning all these people died within your jurisdiction. Do you think you can shirk responsibility?”

”The Human Realm is my jurisdiction, but Feather Spirit Palace is not!” the Heavenly Court Master said coldly, ”I am only responsible for liaising with the Human Clan, ensuring their safe entry into Feather Spirit Palace. Other matters are beyond my control. What happened in Feather Spirit Palace has nothing to do with me. It’s you who shouldn’t waste words with me. This time, the person leading the trip from the Heavenly Realm is you; they were all annihilated. This responsibility is something you can’t escape!”

The elder’s expression changed instantly. The Heavenly Court Master was right; though he could deflect responsibility, the elder couldn’t escape it!

”Immortal Elder, if you had kept Su Yang and taken him to the Heavenly Realm, it would provide an explanation!” The elder hurriedly said, ”Even if I bear most of the responsibility, this is, after all, the Human Realm. Immortal Elder, if someone from the Heavenly Realm really pursues this, you surely cannot be completely free of responsibility either!”

The Heavenly Court Master glanced at the elder, his expression slightly relaxing.

”If you want me to save you, just say it; don’t try to shove the responsibility onto me!” the Heavenly Court Master said coldly.

The elder’s expression slightly changed, but he hurriedly bowed and said, ”Immortal Elder, please save me! I really don’t know how to report back. If we can bring back the one named Su to the Heavenly Realm, that would provide an explanation…”

”Bringing him back to the Heavenly Realm, what’s the point?” the Heavenly Court Master said coldly. ”I’ll bet you, if you do that, not only will you fail to explain things, but you might also become a criminal in the Heavenly Realm!”

”Ah?” The elder was taken aback, unable to comprehend what the Heavenly Court Master meant.

”Please enlighten me, Immortal Elder!” the elder promptly said.

”The one named Su entered the Feather Spirit Palace and came out unharmed. If you think he did nothing inside, that’s simply impossible!” the Heavenly Court Master said coldly. ”While he may not have killed everyone in the Eight Realms, he certainly did nothing beneficial inside. It’s possible that these people were all tricked to death by him.”

The elder nodded repeatedly, ”That’s certain; the one named Su is despicable and cunning to the extreme. He’s undoubtedly capable of such deeds. That’s why I suggested bringing him to the Heavenly Realm, to appease the Wei Family’s anger!”

”If you do that, you’ll be gravely mistaken!” the Heavenly Court Master said coldly. ”You must realize one thing: once someone is dead, their value is gone. Revenge, anger, are all meaningless. Regarding something as significant as Feather Spirit Palace, true benefit is what’s critical, not revenge!”

The elder was stunned, looking at the Heavenly Court Master in surprise, ”Immortal Elder, do you mean...?”

”The one named Su caused turmoil within Feather Spirit Palace, leading to the death of all eighty from the Eight Realms, while the nine members of the Human Clan walked out alive. Do you believe he isn’t familiar with the affairs inside Feather Spirit Palace?” the Heavenly Court Master asked coldly.

”Of course not!” the elder paused, suddenly his eyes lit up, ”Immortal Elder, do you mean the one named Su is very familiar with Feather Spirit Palace’s workings? So, we should capture him, force him to reveal the details of Feather Spirit Palace? That way, we can rectify the matter of the ten Heavenly Realm members dying inside!”

”You are half right!” the Heavenly Court Master said coldly, ”We certainly need him to divulge the details of Feather Spirit Palace, but not by capturing and interrogating him; rather, through a more indirect approach.”

”Indirect?” the elder asked in surprise, ”Immortal Elder, this one named Su is very cunning, employing schemes with him probably wouldn’t be appropriate. I think capturing and directly interrogating him would be more suitable!”
