Supreme Warrior in the City

The Bright City Lord loathes the Guardian God to the core. Before he became the City Lord, he had killed several Guardian Gods who ventured into the Land of Chaos.

However, as the number of people around him increased and he established Bright City, he no longer dared to do such things.

When he didn’t have the title of Bright City Lord, killing Guardian Gods was merely a personal act. At most, it would invite retaliation from the Guardian Gods, who would avenge those he killed.

But now, as the Bright City Lord, if he were to kill the Guardian Gods again, it wouldn’t be a personal action. Doing so and angering the Guardian Gods would lead to the death of not only him but everyone in Bright City.

The Bright City Lord is a person who values loyalty deeply. He couldn’t bear for his brothers, who fought alongside him, to be slaughtered by the Guardian Gods because of his actions. Therefore, despite his intense hatred towards the Guardian Gods, he restrained his anger and even ordered his subordinates not to attack the Guardian Gods.

When he was not the City Lord, he could act recklessly. But after becoming the City Lord, he had to take responsibility for Bright City and all the lives within it!

It is precisely for this reason that everyone in Bright City admires this City Lord greatly.

This information made Su Yang more certain that the Bright City Lord definitely wouldn’t conspire with the Nine Palace Main God group.

He refrains from killing these people, which is already his greatest concession. Asking him to collude with the Guardian Gods would be even more unbearable than asking for his life!

If the Bright City Lord isn’t cooperating with the Nine Palace Main God group, what exactly are the Nine Palace Main God group waiting for in Bright City?

Su Yang stayed in Bright City for a month, but was unable to investigate the matter.

A month later, it was time for a shift change again, and Su Yang left Bright City and returned to the small town.

This time, Su Yang didn’t idle around. Outside Bright City, he attacked three guards and made three Crystal Skulls take on the appearance of those guards. This way, the next time entering Bright City, Su Yang would have three available associates.

Moreover, the three people Su Yang chose were also three from the seven with whom he patrolled. In other words, with this arrangement, three out of eight people in Su Yang’s team were his own, enhancing their relative safety.

Subsequently, Su Yang and his team entered Bright City three more times. Three patrol cycles of three months each passed without any findings. During all this time, the Nine Palace Main God group remained inside that villa. Apart from occasionally meeting the Bright City Lord in the Bright Hall, they did nothing else.

Su Yang entered Bright City many times but never saw the Nine Palace Main God group. Attempting to investigate their purpose led nowhere.

Su Yang also discreetly inquired about situations, including probing into matters concerning his mother, but there were no leads at all. Bright City, over several hundred years, was exceptionally peaceful, without any significant events occurring, leaving Su Yang with no clues to pursue.

Nevertheless, Su Yang wasn’t anxious. The fact that the Nine Palace Main God group hadn’t left meant there was still an opportunity. At least, they weren’t able to escape from under his nose.

After lingering here for more than half a year, the fourth patrol concluded, and Su Yang and his team returned to the small town, staying for around ten days. On this day, Su Yang distinctly felt unusual power fluctuations emanating from Bright City.

Su Yang’s heart stirred, wondering if something had happened in Bright City?

At the same time, the small town was buzzing with excitement, with everyone nervously watching Bright City, as if waiting for something.

While Su Yang was pondering how to enter Bright City to investigate, several individuals suddenly flew to the vicinity of the small town. The leading person, upon arriving outside the small town, immediately exclaimed loudly, ”All guards, listen to orders—stop resting at once, enter Bright City to stand guard, without fail!”

This announcement delighted Su Yang; he had been thinking about how to enter Bright City, and unexpectedly, he didn’t need to figure it out as he was being directly ordered to enter.

Having exchanged words with the three Crystal Skulls, Su Yang promptly returned indoors to prepare.

After the three Crystal Skulls had packed up, they came to Su Yang’s dwelling, quietly covering up his aura.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Su Yang immediately took out his Personal Space, entered it, and found Feiyu and the other three whom he had hidden there.

These four guards were trapped here by Su Yang and had been interrogated; now they were particularly compliant.

Upon seeing Su Yang come in, the four guards widened their eyes, guessing which guard Su Yang might throw in this time.

As it turned out, Su Yang hadn’t brought anyone in. His gaze swept across the four, finally landing on Feiyu, and he said sternly, ”Unusual power fluctuations are coming from Bright City, and the Bright City Lord has issued a command for all guards to enter Bright City and stand guard. What’s going on?”

The four exchanged looks, all overjoyed.

”Power fluctuations have appeared?” Feiyu exclaimed with excitement, ”That means, Bright City will have a Spiritual Source appearance this time!”

”Is this a sign of Spiritual Source appearance?” Su Yang asked curiously. No wonder the outsiders were so excited, and no wonder the Bright City Lord wanted all the guards to enter the city.

”Of course!” Feiyu said, ”These unusual power fluctuations are a sign that a Spiritual Source is about to appear. From the time these fluctuations start to the appearance of the Spiritual Source, it will roughly not exceed three days. This period is especially critical; any major city experiencing such occurrences will always summon all guards back to stand guard!”

”I see!” Su Yang realized, ”Are there any matters to be cautious about when returning to stand guard?”

”Not really.” All four shook their heads, and Feiyu said, ”Returning to stand guard, just follow orders. However, we are part of inner city defense, and need to stand guard near the Spirit Birthplace. Remember, absolutely do not enter the Spirit Birthplace; there’s nothing else in particular to beware of!”

”What is the Spirit Birthplace?” Su Yang asked with curiosity.

”It’s where the Spiritual Source is born...” Feiyu said, ”Behind the Bright Hall lies a mountain, and in the middle of that mountain is a bottomless Grand Canyon—the Spirit Birthplace. Remember, never venture into the Grand Canyon. No one knows what lies at the bottom, and those who enter never return. It’s forbidden ground, a place no one can enter!”

Su Yang recalled the surroundings of Bright Hall and also considered the location of that Grand Canyon. That place was guarded by a group of sentinels preventing entry. Previously, Su Yang thought it was a crucial area, but unexpectedly, it turns out to be Bright City’s Spirit Birthplace!
