Supreme Warrior in the City

This matter has reached this point, and indeed Jinghong Saint King’s situation is extremely perilous.

Although Jinghong Saint King is merely a Saint King, his influence among the Demon Beast Clan is not weak. Moreover, it has been him who has been rallying the Demon Beast Clan against the Guardian God, who intends to eliminate him.

The Demon Beast Clan does not want to kill him, but without killing him, the current situation cannot be resolved. Therefore, several Great Saint Emperors have chosen to remain silent, seemingly ready to sacrifice Jinghong Saint King to buy time for the Demon Beast Clan’s development.

After all, he is just a Saint King; his death would not have much impact on the Demon Beast Clan. The Demon Beast Clan cannot withstand another upheaval!

In such circumstances, Jinghong Saint King’s situation is becoming increasingly troublesome. Even Saint Emperor Luan Yu finds it more difficult to protect Jinghong Saint King.

Upon hearing this news, Su Yang furrowed his brow.

Not to mention the kindness Jinghong Saint King has shown him, the most crucial aspect is that Jinghong Saint King possesses strong influence within the Demon Beast Clan. Su Yang had been considering collaborating with the Demon Beast Clan and possibly starting via Jinghong Saint King.

But now, with Jinghong Saint King facing such a fate, about to be executed, what will become of Su Yang’s alliance with the Demon Beast Clan?

Moreover, Su Yang does not wish for Jinghong Saint King to die!

After a long silence, Su Yang asked in a deep voice, ”Is there no one within the Demon Beast Clan who wishes to save Jinghong Saint King?”

Those few people looked at each other and shook their heads. Under such circumstances, who could save Jinghong Saint King? Even the Great Saint Emperors would not intervene, how could he be saved?

In fact, if the Great Saint Emperors were to personally intervene, it would only complicate the matter further.

Su Yang was silent again and, after thinking for a long time, stood up and said in a deep voice, ”Then let’s leave it at that for now, I’ll go to the Luan Yu Imperial City for a visit!”

”Huh?” The people were all surprised, wondering what Su Yang intended to do by going to the Luan Yu Imperial City — save Jinghong Saint King?

Su Yang left this Royal City and went to a secluded place where he changed his appearance and aura, transforming into the likeness of the Heavenly Phenomenon Saint Emperor, and quickly headed towards the Luan Yu Imperial City.

He stored three Crystal Skulls into his Personal Space and set out alone.

Upon reaching the Luan Yu Imperial City, before even entering the city, a tall man flew out from the Imperial City — it was indeed Saint Emperor Luan Yu.

Seeing Su Yang, Saint Emperor Luan Yu looked somewhat startled, yet he still cupped his hands politely, saying, ”Greetings, fellow cultivator!”

Su Yang replied with a soft smile, ”Brother Luan Yu, there’s no need for formality, we have met before.”

”Oh?” Saint Emperor Luan Yu was surprised; he did not recall having met Su Yang before.

”When we met, I was just a Saint King, so it’s normal for Brother Luan Yu not to remember,” Su Yang replied with a smile.

Saint Emperor Luan Yu realized this made sense; at their level, it was likely they remembered only the Saint Emperors, and who would pay attention to a Saint King?

Still, Su Yang being able to cultivate to the Saint Emperor Realm was no small feat, making Saint Emperor Luan Yu unable to underestimate him.

”I see!” Saint Emperor Luan Yu laughed and asked, ”May I ask your esteemed name?”

”Tianxiang!” Su Yang replied directly.

”Heavenly Phenomenon Saint Emperor!” Saint Emperor Luan Yu repeated the name in his mind but hadn’t heard of it before. However, he didn’t mind. Among the Demon Beast Clan, there are a hundred thousand Saint Emperors; he couldn’t possibly know all of them. There are also many hidden Saint Emperors whom even the Great Saint Emperors might not all know, much less him.

”So it’s Brother Tianxiang!” Saint Emperor Luan Yu smiled, ”May I ask what brings Brother Tianxiang here?”

Saint Emperors do not generally visit other Imperial Cities without significant reason; otherwise, it could seem like a provocation.

Saint Emperor Luan Yu sensed the aura of a Saint Emperor, and that was why he quickly came out, thinking someone might be causing trouble. But seeing Su Yang, he didn’t look like he was out to cause trouble. Perhaps there was some important matter?

Nonetheless, he and this Heavenly Phenomenon Saint Emperor have merely met once, so what important matter could they possibly need to discuss? They have no grievances or enmity; what is he coming for?

Saint Emperor Luan Yu couldn’t help but think of the matter of Jinghong Saint King; the biggest fuss in the Luan Yu Dynasty recently has been about Jinghong Saint King. Several Saint Emperors are putting pressure on him to execute Jinghong Saint King. Now, another Heavenly Phenomenon Saint Emperor has come — perhaps also regarding this issue?

Thinking of this, Saint Emperor Luan Yu’s expression grew somewhat displeased.

Jinghong Saint King is his brother, and he does not wish to execute him. Besides, this is the matter of his Luan Yu Dynasty; when did it come to outsiders to interfere? Especially one he’s not even familiar with, which irritates him even more.

Su Yang smiled mildly, ”I have a small matter. May I enter the city for a talk?”

Saint Emperor Luan Yu looked deeply at Su Yang. Though he was displeased, he couldn’t strike a courteous person. Su Yang spoke so politely; he could hardly refuse him outright.

”Please!” Saint Emperor Luan Yu gestured, leading the way back into the Imperial City.

Su Yang followed into the Imperial City and sat down in the grand hall. Saint Emperor Luan Yu, without holding back, directly stated, ”Could it be that Heavenly Phenomenon Saint Emperor is here regarding Jinghong Saint King’s affairs?”

His voice was icy, an expression of his dissatisfaction.

Su Yang remained smiling, nodding slowly, ”Brother Luan Yu is correct; indeed, I’ve come regarding Jinghong Saint King’s affairs!”

Saint Emperor Luan Yu scrutinized Su Yang and said in a heavy voice, ”Your dynasty and my Luan Yu Dynasty are separated by a great distance, yet this matter reached you? For a Saint King’s affair, crossing half a Great World is truly painstaking!”

His words were full of ridicule.

Su Yang was unbothered and earnestly replied, ”Though it’s only a matter of a Saint King, it concerns the entire Demon Beast Clan; how could I not care?”

”Hmph, Jinghong Saint King merely killed a Saint King, and it could concern the entire Demon Beast Clan. Heavenly Phenomenon Saint Emperor, you sure know how to exaggerate!” Saint Emperor Luan Yu scoffed coldly.

Su Yang softly said, ”He killed a Saint King; that’s not a major event. But the problem is, once Jinghong Saint King dies, it truly concerns the entire Demon Beast Clan!”

Saint Emperor Luan Yu was surprised — what did this Heavenly Phenomenon Saint Emperor mean? Wasn’t he here to kill Jinghong Saint King? Could it be that he was wrong, and unlike those other demon beasts, he came to plead for Jinghong Saint King?

After a moment of doubt, Saint Emperor Luan Yu asked curiously, ”Why would Jinghong Saint King’s death concern the entire Demon Beast Clan?”

”Jinghong Saint King’s influence within the Demon Beast Clan — Brother Luan Yu should be quite aware, right?” Su Yang said.
