Supreme Warrior in the City

”Yes!” Su Yang replied straightforwardly, ”I originally planned to give one to the Heavenly Realm and one to the Buddha Domain. The remaining two would be distributed after selection by everyone. However, it seems giving one to the Heavenly Realm doesn’t hold much meaning anymore. So, let’s put this one up for sharing too!”

As soon as he said that, the audience erupted into chaos again.

There were a total of four maps, which could only be distributed to four worlds. Yet, there were representatives from nine worlds present.

Even if the Human World was excluded, there were still eight worlds. This meant only half of them could receive a map; how could they not be anxious?

Moreover, Su Yang had already decided to allocate one to the Buddha Domain.

Though many had complaints about this, no one dared to voice them. After all, the strength of the Buddha Domain was undeniable!

At this point, everyone finally understood why Liu Jing the monk had helped Su Yang earlier.

Without a doubt, the two sides must have had contact beforehand!

The people from the Heavenly Realm were nearly driven to spitting blood; what did this mean? Was this a direct announcement that the Heavenly Realm wouldn’t receive a share?

Yuan Zhen furrowed his brows tightly. If the Heavenly Realm couldn’t secure even one of the four maps, it would be ludicrous. After all, the Heavenly Realm was the strongest among the Nine Realms.

What Su Yang was doing now was outright offending the Heavenly Realm, didn’t he know what consequences that might bring?

”Su Alliance Leader, are you deciding not to give the Heavenly Realm a map?” Yuan Zhen transmitted his thoughts coldly.

Su Yang glanced at Yuan Zhen and transmitted back, ”Initially, I would have definitely given one to the Heavenly Realm, but now it’s impossible. The Dean and Elder Xu were injured here, and you’ll have to pay the price!”

Yuan Zhen’s face was cold, ”Pay the price? Fine, let’s see who ends up paying a higher price! Don’t forget, the Heavenly Road connecting the Human World and the Heavenly Realm is still intact!”

”Is that so?” Su Yang smirked coldly, mockingly glancing at Yuan Zhen, and suddenly raised his voice, ”Elder Yuan, are you trying to intimidate me?”

Everyone was still discussing, unaware of the transmission between Yuan Zhen and Su Yang. Hearing Su Yang’s words, they were initially stunned, then quickly understood the situation.

Without a doubt, Yuan Zhen must have threatened Su Yang upon hearing that he wasn’t planning to give the Heavenly Realm a map. There wasn’t even a need to guess this.

”Yuan Zhen, how dare you threaten Su Alliance Leader!” A man shouted immediately, showing his full support for Su Yang.

The maps to the Feather Spirit Palace hadn’t been distributed yet, so at this point, the best action of course was to curry favor with Su Yang.

Seeing this, others also began to shout, and in an instant, the Heavenly Realm became the target of all.

Yuan Zhen’s expression was ice-cold; he hadn’t expected Su Yang to blatantly tear down facades and speak plainly.

Looking at everyone’s stance, Yuan Zhen was exceptionally angry, deciding not to hold back, and stood up, shouting coldly, ”Shut up, all of you. This is between the Heavenly Realm and Su Yang, and is not for outsiders to interfere. Su Yang, I’m not trying to intimidate you, but just think it through yourself. With the Heavenly Road still intact, the Heavenly Realm can destroy the Human World with ease!”

”Heh...” Su Yang sneered, ”You can try, and see if the Qilin will self-destruct its remaining power, shattering the Heavenly Road completely. Then, what price will the Heavenly Realm pay to repair the Heavenly Road? And during that period of repair, do you think the Feather Spirit Palace will reopen? When it reopens, will our Human World send people into it? By the time you repair the Heavenly Road and return to the Human World, what do you think it will be like then?”

These words sent the crowd into an uproar, even Yuan Zhen widened his eyes.

Su Yang’s words weren’t unfounded at all.

The current situation of the Feather Spirit Palace was unusual, and no one knew when it would open next.

Yet, the remnants of the Qilin’s divine power remained within the Heavenly Road.

The Heavenly Realm has not invaded the Human World in force precisely because of this. If the Qilin recklessly destroyed its remaining power, it would shatter the Heavenly Road, and the passage between the Heavenly Realm and the Human World would cease to exist.

That is the reason behind the rules between the Heavenly Court and the Human World, not because the Heavenly Realm is benevolent; they really have no choice.

If pushed too harshly and the Qilin gave up its last hope of resurrection, completely shattering the Heavenly Road, then who knows what price the Heavenly Realm would pay to repair it. This is a price the Heavenly Realm does not want to see. Thus, a balance between the Heavenly Realm and the Human World was established!

If the Heavenly Realm pushes too hard and the Heavenly Road is shattered, it would take at least ten years for the Heavenly Realm to re-enter the Human World. Ten years is enough for many changes to occur. If during this time the Feather Spirit Palace emerges again and Su Yang enters it and gains something from within, can the Heavenly Realm change the situation when it returns to the Human World?

Though the possibility is minimal, no one dares to take that risk, and the Heavenly Realm certainly doesn’t!

Yuan Zhen was silent, as were the representatives from the other Seven Realms.

Su Yang’s words threatened not only Yuan Zhen but also the others from the Seven Realms.

The only current channel for the people from the Seven Realms to enter the Human World is through the Heavenly Realm’s Heavenly Road.

If the Heavenly Realm pushed the Human World too far and the Heavenly Road was shattered, the Seven Realms would also lose their chance to enter the Feather Spirit Palace. At that time, the Seven Realms’ situation would be identical to the Heavenly Realm!

So, after a moment of silence, representatives from the Seven Realms began to shout, all angrily berating Yuan Zhen and the Heavenly Realm. Some even outright threatened Yuan Zhen, saying if the Heavenly Realm dared to go to war with the Human World, the Seven Realms would unite to attack the Heavenly Realm.

Yuan Zhen was stunned. He had never imagined things would escalate to this extent.

The Heavenly Realm, the strongest among the Nine Realms and the greatest threat to the Human World, was being pushed into this corner by Su Yang.

At this point, not only could they gain no benefits, but they were also targeted by the joint forces of the Seven Realms, which indeed posed a real problem!

Yuan Zhen looked at Su Yang in anger. He had long heard of Su Yang’s cunning nature. Seeing it today, it truly lived up to its reputation. It was incredible that as an influential figure in the Heavenly Realm, he was being forced into such a position by someone of Su Yang’s caliber from the Human World!

Suddenly, Yuan Zhen’s spirits lifted as his attention locked onto the four crystal gems in Su Yang’s hands.

The maps for entering the Feather Spirit Palace were within those four crystal gems. If he could seize those four crystal gems, even if the Heavenly Road were shattered, the Human World wouldn’t be able to access the Feather Spirit Palace, alleviating their worries, wouldn’t it?
