Supreme Warrior in the City

Arriving at the Sixth Region, Su Yang and his companions first passed through the territory of the Seven-tailed Fox.

This area now no longer had any Holy Beasts, so Su Yang and his companions had nothing to worry about.

However, to be safe, Su Yang and his group concealed their presence, with Long Qiu leading the way, while they remained completely hidden.

This way, Long Qiu’s Holy Beast aura was released, directly scaring those Sub-Saint Beasts so much that they didn’t dare approach, making it impossible for them to discover Su Yang and his companions.

Next, they arrived at the territory of the Sky-covering Sparrow.

Su Yang and his companions originally intended to sneak past quietly, but as soon as they entered the territory of the Sky-covering Sparrow, they felt something unusual.

”This place, why does it seem like a big battle has occurred here?” the Second City Lord asked in surprise.

Su Yang also sensed the surrounding aura, and he looked at Long Qiu in surprise.

”I don’t know what’s going on either, I’ve been with you all this time, it wasn’t me!” Long Qiu immediately said.

”Nonsense, you would need to have the ability to do that!” Su Yang frowned, the aura here was somewhat similar to that of the Seven-tailed Fox’s previous area, what’s going on? Could it be that the battle on Seven-tailed Fox’s side extended to this place?

But, that doesn’t make sense. At the time, it was the Sky-covering Sparrow who led its helpers to kill the Seven-tailed Fox, and the battle took place in the Seven-tailed Fox’s territory, not involving the Sky-covering Sparrow’s territory, so why is there a battle here?

As everyone was puzzled, suddenly in the sky ahead, many bodies of Sub-Saint Beasts appeared.

Su Yang and his companions quickly rushed forward and inspected them. The Great City Lord spoke in a deep voice, ”Brother, they were killed in the same way as those Sub-Saint Beasts in the Seven-tailed Fox’s territory, and the aura is quite similar, it should be the work of the same person!”

”So, the person who killed the Seven-tailed Fox also came to the Sky-covering Sparrow’s territory to act?” Su Yang was taken aback, ”That person wasn’t invited by the Sky-covering Sparrow as a helper?”

Everyone was equally puzzled, it indeed seemed to be so now.

”Let’s first see how the Sky-covering Sparrow is!” Long Qiu immediately said.

Su Yang nodded, they had to find the Sky-covering Sparrow first to understand what happened.

Following that, Su Yang’s group once again concealed their presence, and with Long Qiu’s leadership, they went to find the Sky-covering Sparrow. As a result, upon reaching the Sky-covering Sparrow’s base, they found it destroyed, with the Sky-covering Sparrow gone.

Long Qiu hurriedly searched again, and finally gathered a few Sub-Saint Beasts, interrogating them to glean shocking news: the Sky-covering Sparrow was slain!

”What’s going on? The Sky-covering Sparrow was also slain?” Su Yang was astonished, ”So, the person who killed the Seven-tailed Fox indeed wasn’t the helper invited by the Sky-covering Sparrow? That person, after killing the Seven-tailed Fox, came and killed the Sky-covering Sparrow?”

”It seems so!” the Great City Lord nodded.

”But, why did he do that?” Su Yang queried in surprise, ”Isn’t he afraid that such actions might provoke the Six Trigrams Saint Venerable?”

The three Crystal Skulls couldn’t answer, Su Yang looked at Long Qiu, who thought for a moment: ”Perhaps it’s another Saint Venerable taking action!”

”Another Saint Venerable?” Su Yang was surprised, there are other Saint Venerables nearby?

”In this Endless Starry Sky, there certainly aren’t just one Saint Venerable!” Long Qiu explained, ”Previously, the area where I led you to hunt Holy Beasts was a middle region between two Saint Venerable territories. On the other side, it’s another Saint Venerable’s territory. Likewise, in other places, there are powerful Saint Venerables, with territories adjacent to that of the Six Trigrams Saint Venerable. Conflicts over interests between them are inevitable, leading to battles between Holy Beasts, and even wars between Saint Venerables!”

”Such things happen?” Su Yang was amazed, he hadn’t expected this.

”It’s similar to the countries in your Human World,” Long Qiu remarked, ”Between nations, interest conflicts certainly lead to tensions. Wars break out just like that?”

Su Yang took a deep breath: ”So, is it that a Saint Venerable is targeting the Six Trigrams Saint Venerable, killing the Seven-tailed Fox and the Sky-covering Sparrow? Then, is it still suitable for us to seek out the Golden Dragon Lion? Might we become this Saint Venerable’s target?”

”Probably not!” Long Qiu shook his head, ”Spiritual Sources are the most important to this side of Saint Venerables. Other Saint Venerables taking action, killing a few Holy Beasts, is not significant. However, seizing a Spiritual Source shakes the foundation of a Saint Venerable, the Six Trigrams Saint Venerable won’t allow such a thing to happen. Other Saint Venerables generally won’t seize Spiritual Sources, unless they intend to fight to the death.”

”That’s a relief!” Su Yang breathed out, he really didn’t want to get caught up in a war between Saint Venerables.

The group continued forward, discovering the next territory’s Holy Beasts were also slain.

Not until reaching the fourth Holy Beast territory did the battles not spread here.

Su Yang and his group carefully navigated through this Holy Beast’s domain, directly arriving at the Golden Dragon Lion’s territory.

Here, Su Yang distinctly felt a different type of Spiritual Energy. Absorbing this energy, the power within him began to visibly escalate.

Su Yang felt a stirring in his heart, without a doubt, this was Xuan-level Spiritual Energy.

The Golden Dragon Lion possesses a Spiritual Source, and it uses an Array to seal this Spiritual Source. However, the Spiritual Energy released from the Spiritual Source still leaks slightly, which Su Yang was now absorbing.

Feeling the aura of the Spiritual Source, Su Yang was overjoyed. Once he kills this Golden Dragon Lion, he can seize this Spiritual Source, allowing the Saints of the Nine Realms to finally cultivate.

They completely concealed their aura, led by Long Qiu, and swiftly found the Golden Dragon Lion’s lair.

The Golden Dragon Lion’s lair was a gigantic planet, as Su Yang looked over, this planet was about the size of Earth. Furthermore, many Demon Beasts inhabited it, seemingly an evolved Small World, leaving one in awe.

The Golden Dragon Lion on this planet was utterly a totem-like existence, its statues and the worship of Demon Beasts were omnipresent.

Long Qiu led Su Yang and his companions to find the Golden Dragon Lion, and this fellow was lying in its palace, soundly asleep.

Su Yang initially thought the Golden Dragon Lion would be a massive lion, but in fact, the Golden Dragon Lion wasn’t large at all, from afar it looked like an adult wolfhound.

However, the Golden Dragon Lion’s aura was extremely powerful. After all, being a Holy Beast with a Spiritual Source, its strength surpassed previous Holy Beasts.

Sensing Long Qiu’s aura, it merely glanced at Long Qiu nonchalantly before closing its eyes to continue sleeping, entirely indifferent to Long Qiu.

Clearly, it did not regard Long Qiu at all.
