Supreme Warrior in the City

The one coming to challenge him is a Saint Venerable from nearby, named Unihorn Saint Venerable.

This Saint Venerable claims to have a great relationship with Six Trigrams Saint Venerable, and he wants to kill Su Yang to avenge Six Trigrams Saint Venerable. In truth, he just wants to take advantage of Su Yang’s unstable foundation to seize Six Trigrams Saint Venerable’s Spiritual Source.

If it had been before, Su Yang would definitely not be a match for this Unihorn Saint Venerable. But now, Su Yang’s power has surged, and Unihorn Saint Venerable’s challenge seems like a death sentence.

Su Yang wasted no time in sending out a message, telling Unihorn Saint Venerable to wash his neck and wait to die.

This news caused an uproar in Liu Yao City, leaving all the Demon Beasts shocked.

After all, Unihorn Saint Venerable is considered one of the more powerful Saint Venerables nearby. When Six Trigrams Saint Venerable was around, Unihorn Saint Venerable constantly encroached on his territory, and Six Trigrams Saint Venerable dared not confront him.

Now, although Su Yang has killed Six Trigrams Saint Venerable, his strength appears rather ordinary. In the eyes of these Demon Beasts, Su Yang only resorted to cunning to kill Six Trigrams Saint Venerable, his true skills far inferior to Six Trigrams Saint Venerable.

In such circumstances, Su Yang’s bold decision to respond to Unihorn Saint Venerable’s challenge seems like he is digging his own grave.

For a while, Demon Beasts within Six Trigrams Saint Venerable’s territory engaged in various discussions. Quite a few Demon Beasts even planned to leave Liu Yao City, fearing that if Su Yang was defeated, Unihorn Saint Venerable would take over Liu Yao City.

Unihorn Saint Venerable is notorious among the Saint Venerables for being a tyrant. He would not be polite to the Demon Beasts of Liu Yao City if he conquered it, having committed city massacres in the past. This situation has left the Demon Beasts feeling utterly anxious.

After Long Qiu arranged matters in the Nine Realms, he rushed to Liu Yao City, claiming to stay by Su Yang’s side to assist him. In truth, Long Qiu intended to cling onto Liu Yao City’s Spiritual Source for cultivation.

Su Yang had little interest in managing these Demon Beasts, so Long Qiu effectively became the Prime Minister of Liu Yao City, handling all its affairs. This once lonely figure on the edge of the Sixth Region, barely surviving, has now become a prominent figure of Liu Yao City, much to his own delight.

So, Long Qiu treated Liu Yao City like his own home. Over the ten years, he managed Liu Yao City orderly, much to Su Yang’s surprise.

Now, with Su Yang accepting Unihorn Saint Venerable’s challenge, Liu Yao City descended into chaos, leaving Long Qiu incredibly anxious. Despite using various methods, he failed to calm the citizens. Ultimately, he had no choice but to find Su Yang.

”Boss, can you calm things down a bit?” Long Qiu lamented upon reaching Su Yang’s palace: ”Things outside are in turmoil; many Demon Beasts are packing up to flee. Boss, you should make appearances now and then. You need to show up sometimes, just like Six Trigrams Saint Venerable did, so that you can scare those Demon Beasts into staying. If you keep hiding here, never showing yourself, how could you have any authority? Without authority, how can you hold them in check? If all the Demon Beasts leave, what’s the point of you being a Saint Venerable?”

Su Yang cast a glance at Long Qiu: ”Why are we here?”

”Uh…” Long Qiu awkwardly wobbled his neck: ”I know your main goal is the Spiritual Source, but this is your main city. Without Demon Beasts living here, what’s the point of being a Saint Venerable? Isn’t a Saint Venerable supposed to be lofty, driving those Demon Beasts to do their bidding? You are acting like a monk; if the main city has no Demon Beasts, it will attract other Demon Beasts’ attention, possibly even catch the eye of the Saint King. The Saint King sees you acting so uniquely and comes to meet you; wouldn’t that be a hassle!”

Su Yang watched Long Qiu for a moment: ”Are you worried about the Saint King coming, or are you worried that if all the Demon Beasts run away, you won’t have a place to boss around?”

”Boss, am I that kind of person?” Long Qiu straightened up: ”I’m considering this for you. Imagine, if there are no Demon Beasts in the city, others might wonder if there’s something wrong with you. We must operate discreetly, the key is to blend in. Acting so aloof and unique is improper!”

”Enough talking!” Su Yang scoffed: ”I know what you’re scheming. But don’t worry, spread my word, saying this battle, Unihorn Saint Venerable, is doomed. Let them not panic. Those willing to stay in Liu Yao City will find ten Spiritual Sources available for cultivation after I kill Unihorn Saint Venerable and seize his Spiritual Source!”

”Really?” Long Qiu widened his eyes: ”Opening ten Spiritual Sources, that’s generous! Boss, will you really do that?”

Su Yang chuckled: ”If I kill Unihorn Saint Venerable and seize his Spiritual Source, my Spiritual Source count will triple. As you said, it’s time to strengthen my forces. Then, I can threaten other Saint Venerables to supply me with Spiritual Sources. In that case, what are ten Spiritual Sources?”

Long Qiu pondered for a moment, nodding vigorously: ”Boss, you’re thorough. But, are you serious about killing Unihorn Saint Venerable? He’s considered top-tier among Saint Venerables now. You’re just an Intermediate Saint Venerable; do you really have confidence for this battle?”

”So what?” Su Yang replied: ”Wasn’t this the case when I killed Six Trigrams Saint Venerable? The disparity in ranking doesn’t affect much. Don’t forget, I have the Ancient Demon Beast legacy.”

Long Qiu rolled his eyes; he’s fully aware of the situation, the Ancient Demon Beast legacy might fool Demon Beasts, but not him.

”Don’t roll your eyes, everything will be fine!” Su Yang glared: ”Make arrangements quickly before all your Demon Beasts run away!”

”Alright, I’ll make arrangements right away!” Long Qiu nodded excitedly, hurriedly running off to handle the matters.

Standing within the palace, Su Yang slowly lifted his gaze to the sky.

In truth, even if Unihorn Saint Venerable didn’t come, he was prepared to take action against a Saint Venerable.

As he mentioned before, he intends to expand his forces. Soon, he plans to dominate this region, compelling other Saint Venerables to make offerings to him. Only this way, will he have a continuous influx of Spiritual Sources, to sustain the Nine Realms Saints’ cultivation.
