Supreme Warrior in the City

Just when Su Yang and the others were immersing themselves in cultivation, an unexpected situation occurred.

The Six Trigrams Saint Venerable actually sent an envoy to inspect their area.

This envoy first went to the territory of the Three-winged Purple Ape occupied by the Golden Phoenix.

At that time, Su Yang and a few others were cultivating here, and the envoy’s sudden arrival indeed startled them.

Fortunately, someone came to report it, allowing Su Yang and the others to quickly hide their presence, thus avoiding detection. If the envoy had discovered their existence, the matter would have escalated significantly.

Long Qiu was with Su Yang, and Su Yang instructed Long Qiu to go out and join the Golden Phoenix in receiving the envoy.

After the envoy entered the city, Su Yang and the others finally understood what was going on. It turned out that recently, too many Holy Beasts had died in this area, prompting the Six Trigrams Saint Venerable to specifically send an envoy to investigate the matter.

Long Qiu was particularly smooth and, alongside the Golden Phoenix, flattered the envoy, putting him at ease. The envoy did not pursue the matter of the Golden Phoenix occupying this territory, after all, the Golden Phoenix was able to slay the Three-winged Purple Ape due to its own strength. As long as it was loyal to the Six Trigrams Saint Venerable, nothing else mattered.

However, a statement made by the envoy before leaving aroused the vigilance of Su Yang and the others.

The envoy specifically went to check the Spiritual Source after arriving here. Upon seeing the Spiritual Source, he was visibly astonished, questioning, ”Why is your cultivation consumption so high? Why is the Spiritual Source so depleted? What’s going on?”

The Golden Phoenix and Long Qiu were dumbfounded at the time; they knew that the consumption wasn’t from their cultivation but from Su Yang and the others.

As a result, the envoy discovered this matter, which means it had piqued his curiosity. Fortunately, he didn’t investigate further and left after a few remarks since he had many places to inspect.

This situation, however, made Su Yang and the others extremely vigilant.

It’s important to know that they had only slain the Three-winged Purple Ape less than a year ago. During this year, only Su Yang and five Saints cultivated here, and the Spiritual Source consumption was actually not excessive, much less than the consumption by the Moon Gazing Rhinoceros and Golden Dragon Lion.

Given this, the envoy noticed something was amiss. If the envoy went to check on the Spiritual Source of the Moon Gazing Rhinoceros and Golden Dragon Lion, wouldn’t he directly identify the problem? By then, the envoy would certainly detect the issue and report back to the Six Trigrams Saint Venerable, which would be troublesome, wouldn’t it?

Su Yang immediately sought Long Qiu to inquire about a solution. Long Qiu was also agitated, circling in frustration, ”Brother, who could have anticipated such a surprise inspection by the envoy? But the Spiritual Source is accounted for. Our consumption is just too high; if he continues his inspection, the other two places will definitely be exposed!”

”Nonsense, I know it will be exposed, I’m asking how to resolve this!” Su Yang said angrily.

”Uh...” Long Qiu immediately fell silent, unsure of how to handle the situation.

Su Yang was speechless for a moment, then pondered and said solemnly, ”What if we kill the envoy?”

”Kill the envoy?” Long Qiu’s eyes widened, ”Are you insane? Killing the envoy would bring the Saint Venerable here right away! Brother, that’s akin to drinking poison to quench your thirst!”

”What if we frame someone else?” Su Yang suggested softly.

”Frame someone?” Long Qiu was puzzled, ”Who do you want to frame?”

Su Yang took out a Beast Tamer’s whip and waved it in front of Long Qiu.

Long Qiu hesitated for a moment and whispered, ”Framing the Beast Tamers, is this... appropriate?”

”It’s not about whether it’s appropriate, I’m just asking if this method will work!” Su Yang said solemnly, ”We have no other choice now!”

Long Qiu pondered for a while and spoke softly, ”To be honest, Demon Beasts are very hostile towards Beast Tamers. However, normally, there’s no conflict between them. Beast Tamers wouldn’t easily catch Demon Beasts under the protection of a Holy Beast. Conversely, Demon Beasts under a Holy Beast’s protection would never provoke Beast Tamers, so they coexist peacefully. I’ve never heard of Beast Tamers attacking Holy Beasts, let alone the envoy of the Saint Venerable...”

Upon hearing this, Su Yang felt a spark in his heart. He looked at Long Qiu and asked solemnly, ”You mean, Beast Tamers wouldn’t capture Demon Beasts in a Holy Beast’s territory?”

”That’s right!” Long Qiu nodded.

”Then what if a Beast Tamer captures Demon Beasts in this Holy Beast’s territory?” Su Yang asked.

”That would be a declaration of war!” Long Qiu said wide-eyed.

”Declaration of war?” Su Yang pondered for a moment, and a sly smile appeared on his face; he thought of a plan.

”Brother, what are you planning?” Long Qiu asked, puzzled.

”The envoy is going next to the Golden Dragon Lion’s territory. You find Little Bear and ask it to cooperate with me to put on a show!” Su Yang said softly.

”A show?” Long Qiu looked completely baffled, not understanding what Su Yang meant.

Su Yang chuckled lightly and slowly explained his plan.

After hearing it, Long Qiu’s eyes widened: ”Will this...work?”

”It’s up to people to make things happen; at least, we have no other choice!” Su Yang said softly, ”We can only give it a try!”

Long Qiu pondered for a moment and nodded slowly, ”Then I’ll go find Little Bear and make arrangements!”

Su Yang nodded, and he took the other Saints and headed straight for the Golden Dragon Lion’s territory.

Upon arrival, Su Yang immediately dispersed everyone to begin hunting Sub-Saint Beasts within this area.

Everyone had become Saints, and the number of Sub-Saint Beasts in this region was substantial. It didn’t take long before they captured over a hundred Sub-Saint Beasts.

Su Yang tied up these hundreds of Sub-Saint Beasts with the Beast Tamer’s whip and instructed the others to quickly return to the Nine Realms. Meanwhile, he transformed into a Beast Tamer’s appearance and continued to hunt Sub-Saint Beasts within this area.

After hunting for a while, Su Yang felt the aura of a Holy Beast approaching from the distant sky. He didn’t delay and immediately left with the Sub-Saint Beasts, heading for the previously discovered planet.

Shortly after he left, several Holy Beasts quickly flew over. Little Bear was among them, with the envoy and several Holy Beasts following closely behind.

Upon arriving, Little Bear immediately said, ”It’s here; the aura is still fresh, he hasn’t gotten far!”

The envoy frowned deeply and said in a stern voice, ”It’s indeed the aura of a Beast Tamer. What are they trying to do by venturing into the Demon Beast Land?”

”I’ve noticed that the number of Sub-Saint Beasts around here has been drastically decreasing; they must have been captured!” Little Bear said solemnly, ”Envoy, you must make this right for us!”

The envoy pondered for a moment and then said firmly, ”Let’s pursue and take a look!”

Several Holy Beasts quickly pursued in Su Yang’s direction. Su Yang intentionally slowed down, allowing them to catch up as he neared the planet.
