Supreme Warrior in the City

Presently, there are over a hundred Saints in the Nine Realms. Moreover, Saint Yuqing has reached the final stage and may soon advance to the Saint Venerable Realm.

As long as Saint Yuqing advances to the Saint Venerable Realm, the Nine Realms will have one more Saint Venerable. At that time, Su Yang can teach the method of fusing with Demon Beasts to Saint Yuqing and can also seize the territory of another Saint Venerable, securing more Spiritual Sources for the Nine Realms.

Su Yang’s goal now is firstly to grow rapidly himself. If he can advance to the Saint Emperor Realm, he will be able to negotiate with the Guardian God, thus protecting the Nine Realms.

The other goal is to make all the Saint Venerables in this area members of the Nine Realms. By doing this, firstly, everyone here will be allies, and information won’t be leaked. Secondly, it can provide enough cultivation resources for the Nine Realms.

Of course, these two goals are relatively long-term. However, Su Yang has already taken the first step, which is not an easy feat. The rest will proceed slowly. As long as the Nine Realms can hold, they still have time to continue cultivating.

Long Qiu ran out to spread Su Yang’s words among the Demon Beasts of Liu Yao City. The effect was average; only some Demon Beasts chose to stay, and that was completely risking their lives. Most Demon Beasts still chose to leave.

Originally, Long Qiu wanted to lead people to stop them, but Su Yang stopped him.

”Let them go!” Su Yang said. ”Those who stay will become your trusted subordinates in the future. Moreover, after some leave, Liu Yao City can undergo a major reshuffle. Later, you can cultivate a group of trusties to occupy Liu Yao City, and only then can we completely control Liu Yao City!”

Long Qiu thought for a moment, then nodded, saying, ”You’re right. Liu Yao City should have a major reshuffle. A large number of Demon Beasts here still don’t regard you as a Saint Venerable. How can that be? After this incident, humph, if they want to return, it won’t be so easy!”

”So, don’t stop them!” Su Yang said leisurely.

Long Qiu nodded, hesitated for a moment, and whispered, ”Then... what about the Holy Beasts?”

”What’s wrong with the Holy Beasts?” Su Yang asked curiously.

”Originally, there were seventeen Holy Beasts in Liu Yao City. Now, thirteen have clamored to leave, only four are left,” Long Qiu replied.

Su Yang frowned slightly, then said softly, ”It’s fine, do not stop them, let them go. However, they must leave their Spiritual Sources behind. Also, remember these Holy Beasts; if they want to return next time, they will have to pay the price!”

”Understood!” Long Qiu chuckled. With those Holy Beasts leaving, Liu Yao City can have a real major reshuffle.

He wanted to see the expressions of those Holy Beasts and Demon Beasts who left when Su Yang wins this battle.

When Liu Yao City opens ten Spiritual Sources for all the Demon Beasts to cultivate, what expressions will those Holy Beasts and Demon Beasts who leave have?

Long Qiu immediately ran to find those Holy Beasts and conveyed Su Yang’s orders. They could leave, but they had to leave their Spiritual Sources behind.

Seventeen Holy Beasts gathered together. Upon hearing this, they became noisy.

One Holy Beast stood up and shouted angrily, ”Why should we leave our Spiritual Sources? These Spiritual Sources were rewards from the Six Trigrams Saint Venerable after we made contributions; why should we hand them over?”

”The Six Trigrams Saint Venerable is dead. The new rules of this city belong to the new Saint Venerable,” Long Qiu said leisurely. ”By saying this, are you still honoring the Six Trigrams Saint Venerable?”

The face of this Holy Beast changed. Honoring a dead Saint Venerable was utterly meaningless. On the contrary, doing so would completely offend Su Yang, and it dared not provoke a Saint Venerable.

”But these Spiritual Sources have long been our belongings. Why must we hand them over?” Another Holy Beast said unwillingly.

”Because you are leaving Liu Yao City!” Long Qiu smiled. ”If you stay here, then it’s fine. But since you’re leaving, you are no longer members of Liu Yao City and no longer qualified to take the Spiritual Sources away. The Spiritual Sources belong to Liu Yao City, not to any of you!”

”This... what kind of rule is this? This is completely bullying us!” A Holy Beast said angrily. ”Saint Venerable Jiushi is bullying us too much!”

Su Yang’s title here is Saint Venerable Jiushi, meaning Saint Venerable from the Nine Realms. Of course, these Demon Beasts likely don’t comprehend the meaning of this name.

”This is the request of the Saint Venerable. You are not satisfied, you can go and ask the Saint Venerable,” Long Qiu said softly.

”You stop trying to frighten us with the Saint Venerable!” A Holy Beast shouted angrily. ”The Spiritual Sources are ours, and we will not hand them over. Don’t think that with a feather, you can treat it as an arrow and order us around here. You are nothing but a clown. When we became Holy Beasts, you didn’t even know where you were. What qualifications do you have to speak here!”

Long Qiu scanned these Holy Beasts calmly and said, ”I’m just relaying the Saint Venerable’s orders. You can refuse to hand over the Spiritual Sources, and I won’t stop you. However, I suggest you think it over carefully. You might be able to step out of this room with Spiritual Sources, but can you leave this palace? The Saint Venerable’s eyes cannot tolerate sand!”

After speaking, Long Qiu directly made way and opened the door for the Holy Beasts.

These Holy Beasts looked at each other, ultimately not daring to take the Spiritual Sources out.

After all, they were Holy Beasts, with too much disparity from a Saint Venerable. If they really left with Spiritual Sources, provoking the Saint Venerable, they were sure to be doomed.

”Fine, I’ll hand over the Spiritual Sources!” A Holy Beast came over and took out the Space Artifact containing Spiritual Sources, saying angrily, ”I want to see how long Saint Venerable Jiushi will remain arrogant!”

With that, the Holy Beast directly left.

The other Holy Beasts saw this, came over one after another, threw the Spiritual Sources on the table, and then left with curses.

Finally, only four Holy Beasts remained in the room.

Long Qiu looked at these four Holy Beasts, a hint of a smile passing over his face. ”Congratulations, you have made the wisest decision of your life!”

The four Holy Beasts looked at each other without speaking. They stayed because they had a feud with the Unihorn Saint Venerable. Even if they left, the result would be the same. However, choosing to stay also required great courage. If Su Yang lost this battle, they might not rise again.

But since they chose to stay, they must persist to the end.

One Holy Beast stood up and said softly, ”Lord Long Qiu, please convey to Saint Venerable Jiushi that the four of us will fully support him. However, we also hope that Saint Venerable Jiushi will not disappoint us.”

”Rest assured, the Saint Venerable will definitely not let you down!” Long Qiu smiled, picking up the Spiritual Sources on the table. ”After this battle, you will receive great rewards, everything you deserve!”
