Supreme Warrior in the City

Su Yang returned to the palace, and Long Qiu enthusiastically followed him inside.

”Boss, did you finish so quickly?” Long Qiu said excitedly, ”I thought it would take a month or two; last time with Six Trigrams Saint Venerable, the battle went on for quite a while.”

”Why take so long?” Su Yang replied calmly, ”It’s just slaying a Unihorn Saint Venerable, no need for so much time.”

”Wow, are you really that confident?” Long Qiu glared, ”Boss, how did you take so long against Six Trigrams Saint Venerable then?”

”Back then, I didn’t fully understand the Saint Venerable’s realm. But now, I understand!” Su Yang said softly, ”Since I understand, we’re all in the same realm, why spend so much time to kill it?”

Long Qiu looked bewildered, and after a long pause, he said, ”Boss, when it comes to showing off, I gotta hand it to you!”

”Get lost!” Su Yang replied irritably, was this even human language?

Soon, news of Su Yang’s victory spread completely.

The ones spreading the message were those Saint Venerables who came to watch the battle.

At the same time, news spread across the Demon Beast Area about Su Yang attacking Unihorn Saint Venerable’s city and looting all the belongings of Unihorn Saint Venerable.

This really stirred things up.

The Demon Beasts, who were waiting for Su Yang to die, planning to raid Liu Yao City before Unihorn Saint Venerable arrived, were completely dumbfounded.

They were all waiting for Su Yang to die, but who could have anticipated this outcome? Su Yang won, and the one who died was Unihorn Saint Venerable.

Especially those Demon Beasts that left Su Yang’s side; they had been feeling fortunate, thinking they made the right choice by leaving Su Yang.

Meanwhile, they mocked those Demon Beasts who remained loyal to Su Yang, thinking they were idiots, simply foolish for staying with Su Yang, waiting to die.

Yet, who could have foreseen that these ’fools’ ended up making the right decision by staying with Su Yang, who ultimately achieved a great victory, while Unihorn Saint Venerable died in battle.

All the Demon Beasts knew about Su Yang using Unihorn Saint Venerable’s spiritual source for Liu Yao City’s Demon Beasts to cultivate. These Demon Beasts envied it to an extreme, knowing that even the nearby Saint Venerables couldn’t use Unihorn Saint Venerable’s spiritual source for cultivation, let alone ordinary Demon Beasts.

Unicorn Saint Venerable’s Spiritual Source was not just three times bigger than Six Trigrams Saint Venerable’s source. The key was that Unicorn Saint Venerable’s source was much purer, containing Spiritual Energy far stronger than typical sources. Cultivating under this source produced excellent results, providing the best opportunity for Demon Beasts seeking breakthroughs.

However, Unihorn Saint Venerable never shared his spiritual source for other Demon Beasts’ cultivation; they had only heard tales of it, without seeing it firsthand.

Now, Su Yang offered this spiritual source for all of Liu Yao City’s Demon Beasts to cultivate, driving other Demon Beasts to extreme envy. They wished desperately to rush into Liu Yao City to cultivate alongside.

Many Saint Venerables were eager to visit Liu Yao City to witness Unihorn Saint Venerable’s spiritual source. However, they dared not approach, for Su Yang’s display of strength in slaying Unihorn Saint Venerable made them wary of provoking him.

At this moment, those who had left Su Yang were most pained.

Especially the thirteen Holy Beasts that departed Liu Yao City, for they were originally closest to Su Yang. If they had stayed, they would now be Su Yang’s closest confidants.

Su Yang announced he would offer Six Trigrams Saint Venerable’s previous spiritual source to the four Holy Beasts who remained in Liu Yao City for their cultivation.

In other words, had those thirteen Holy Beasts remained in Liu Yao City, they wouldn’t have needed to rely on small spiritual sources anymore and would enjoy the treatment of Saint Venerables, able to cultivate with the large spiritual source.

And now, having left Su Yang, not only did the spiritual source belonging to them end up with Su Yang, they expected Su Yang to fall to Unihorn Saint Venerable, thus pledged allegiance to him, hoping for their old spiritual source back, perhaps to gain rewards from him.

However, now that Unihorn Saint Venerable is dead, Su Yang has achieved great victory. Their previous spiritual sources are gone, and turning to Unihorn is no longer possible, making future cultivation troublesome. Being traitors to Su Yang now ruins their reputations; whether other Saint Venerables would accept them remains questionable.

If they aren’t accepted by a Saint Venerable, they can’t access spiritual sources and can’t continue cultivating. They risk becoming wandering Holy Beasts, a truly pitiful and sad fate.

Similarly, those Demon Beasts who left Su Yang are filled with regret.

Yet, their regret is futile. Su Yang made it clear that those who left could never set foot back on his turf again. Otherwise, they would be killed without mercy!

Now, they can’t even return to plead with Su Yang or seek his allegiance again.

Su Yang intends to seize this opportunity to thoroughly cleanse the influence left by Six Trigrams Saint Venerable. In Nine Realms, he has nurtured several Holy Beasts; it’s time to gradually use Holy Beasts from Nine Realms to control this area.

Of course, Su Yang is also cultivating Long Qiu, boosting Long Qiu’s influence here. After all, Long Qiu is genuinely from the Demon Beast Clan and is well-placed to manage things here.

Additionally, Long Qiu is exceptionally clever, making Su Yang especially at ease with his management. Long Qiu is deeply tied to Nine Realms, having killed many Demon Beasts and entangled in the Beast Tamers’ affairs, making it impossible for him to jump ship. Therefore, he must diligently assist Su Yang.

In these circumstances, Su Yang trusted Long Qiu to take control of the area.

Long Qiu didn’t disappoint, quickly mastering most of the situation. He also absorbed a batch of new Holy Beasts from outside, enhancing Su Yang’s influence further.

After Su Yang gained fame from his decisive victory, numerous Holy Beasts arrived to pledge allegiance to him. Therefore, he didn’t need the previous Demon Beasts; recruiting outsiders could rapidly expand his power.
