Supreme Warrior in the City

”As expected!” Jinghong Saint King gritted his teeth, ”Guardian God, you’re so despicable!”

Saint Venerable Yuqing, following Jinghong Saint King, looked at the scene with horror, trembling as he spoke, ”This... what on earth is happening? Where is Liu Yao City? Why has Liu Yao City disappeared?”

”It must have been wiped out by the Guardian God personally!” Jinghong Saint King angrily replied, ”I truly didn’t expect such ambition from these Guardian Gods. You head back; I will personally go for an audience with the Saint Emperor. We can’t let this situation with the Guardian God slide!”

With those words, Jinghong Saint King directly tore through space and left.

Saint Venerable Yuqing stood in place, watching Jinghong Saint King vanish into the distance before he slowly returned.

Back in his own city, Su Yang arrived there too. Su Yang transformed back into his demon beast form, and after asking Saint Venerable Yuqing about Jinghong Saint King’s reaction, he felt reassured.

The messages that needed to be delivered to the Demon Beast Clan had been conveyed. Now, it depended on how the Demon Beast Clan would act!

Additionally, the news of the illusion had also been passed on to the Demon Beast Clan. Judging by Jinghong Saint King’s reaction, he seemed to have heard of the illusion, but didn’t know much about it. The Saint Emperor, though, should be aware of the illusion.

Seeing how seriously the Guardian Gods take this illusion, the Demon Beast Clan cannot remain indifferent. The best scenario would be for them to start vying with each other, granting the Nine Realms temporary safety.

...

Jinghong Saint King did not return to his own Jinghong City but directly headed towards the Imperial City.

The dynasty where Jinghong Saint King resided was called the Luan Yu Dynasty, its founder was a powerful demon beast known as Saint Emperor Luan Yu.

Jinghong Saint King was a familiar face in the Imperial City. Upon arriving, no one stopped him, and he directly reached the Imperial City.

The Imperial City is a thousand times more grand than Jinghong Saint King’s royal city. The sheer size of the Imperial City was comparable to the largest planet seen by Su Yang in the Intermediate World, truly expansive.

After all, a Saint Emperor level powerhouse is the absolute pinnacle in an Intermediate World.

And a dynasty of the Demon Beast Clan is equivalent to an Intermediate World.

While the strength of an Intermediate World isn’t very powerful, the issue lies in the sheer number of the Demon Beast Clan; the dynasties are countless. Moreover, these dynasties are mostly interconnected, resulting in a scenario where if the Guardian God takes action against the Demon Beast Clan, it would provoke all demon beasts to rebel. This is the primary reason the Demon Beast Clan does not fear the Guardian God.

Jinghong Saint King flew directly to the Imperial Hall, where several Saint King level guards had rushed forward upon seeing him. Recognizing him, they bent slightly in respect.

Jinghong Saint King holds a high status in the Luan Yu Dynasty.

”Master Jinghong, you come in such a rush, is there something urgent?” one Saint King asked, ”The Saint Emperor just retired from court, you’ve come a bit late!”

”I have urgent matters, please report!” Jinghong Saint King paused, then continued resolutely, ”The Guardian God personally took action and destroyed a Saint Venerable City under my command, I must report this to the Saint Emperor!”

Upon hearing this, the faces of the Saint Kings changed; this was indeed a matter of immense importance.

”Master Jinghong, please follow me!” the leading Saint King nodded immediately, waving his hand to send others to report to the Saint Emperor.

The Saint Kings split tasks, with the leading Saint King escorting Jinghong Saint King into the Imperial Hall, fully aware of the gravity of the situation, and dared not waste time.

Quickly, Jinghong Saint King arrived at the main hall, and by that time, Saint Emperor Luan Yu had reached the main hall too.

Upon sitting down, Saint Emperor Luan Yu directly asked, ”Jinghong, you mentioned earlier that the Guardian God took personal action, what’s going on?”

Jinghong Saint King promptly recounted the recent events, concluding by releasing a powerful aura in the hall.

”This is the aura I captured earlier at Liu Yao City, presumably belonging to the Guardian God, very strong!”

Saint Emperor Luan Yu furrowed his brows as he sensed the aura.

”This aura belongs to the Ling Feng God!” Saint Emperor Luan Yu spoke gravely, ”Could it be that Ling Feng God took action? Did he truly destroy Liu Yao City?”

”Absolutely!” Jinghong Saint King nodded, then recounted Su Yang’s communication.

”What did you say earlier?” Saint Emperor Luan Yu’s face changed dramatically, eyes widening, ”You mentioned an illusion that killed Commander Wu Ke?”

”That’s correct!” Jinghong Saint King nodded, ”It is said that from their dungeon, a white light flashed, followed by an illusion emerging, and subsequently, Commander Wu Ke and his men perished.”

”White light? Illusion?” Saint Emperor Luan Yu furrowed his brows, a truly significant matter indeed.

”This white light must be the power left by the Guardian God in Commander Wu Ke’s body. At the pivotal moment, Commander Wu Ke could self-destruct to send messages.” Jinghong Saint King spoke seriously, ”As for the illusion, I suspect it’s related to a legendary entity. Commander Wu Ke must have uncovered some secret, prompting the illusion to kill him. Commander Wu Ke intended to transmit messages by self-destructing, aiming to release the white light, but was swallowed by the illusion. Ling Feng God likely detected the energy of this explosion, thus went for investigation. He surely uncovered something critically important, leading to the obliteration of Liu Yao City to eradicate all traces!”

Saint Emperor Luan Yu’s face changed again, ”If this is true, then it’s possible. That illusion, if truly the former Heaven Slayer, poses a major problem. The Three Thousand Great Worlds, all Guardian Gods are searching for him, and unexpected he appeared in our Great World! It’s difficult to know if we’re fortunate or unfortunate!”

Jinghong Saint King’s eyes widened, speaking in a low voice, ”Saint Emperor, if it truly is the Heaven Slayer, this must not be found by the Guardian Gods. Otherwise, reclaiming what Heaven Slayer took, no one would be able to resist them. Even our Demon Beast Clan would be completely crushed underfoot!”

Saint Emperor Luan Yu furrowed his brows, contemplating for a long time, gritting his teeth, ”I certainly understand the severity of this matter, but the problem is, this is beyond the resolution of our single dynasty. Ling Feng God is arguably the closest to the next level of existence. Looking across the Demon Beast Clan, there are barely any demon beasts capable of opposing him, I am clearly no match!”

”But we absolutely cannot let him succeed!” Jinghong Saint King contemplated for a moment, then spoke solemnly, ”Saint Emperor, I believe we need to spread this matter, let all Saint Emperors know about it!”
