Supreme Warrior in the City

"So early?" Su Yang was bewildered: "What are you doing here so early?"

"After the last battle, the master said that the four major sects would probably target him next. So, he sealed the young master's meridians first and then brought us to the Capital City," Xue Nu said.

"Really?" Su Yang was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that even Beigong War God would be so astute. After the battle, he immediately analyzed the coming events and even devised a response strategy at once, dispersing his confidants and taking his nephew Lv Donglin to the Capital City.

"Then why come to the Capital City?" Su Yang asked in surprise.

"After you left the last time, the four major sects searched for a long time but couldn't find you. However, the range they searched had already exceeded the maximum distance you could have escaped at that time, and still, they found nothing, which showed you probably hid in another space!" Xue Nu said, "Moreover, you hadn't moved far from that place yet. So the master brought us to the Capital City to search for you nearby. You just called the young master, that's how the master pinpointed your location and brought us here!"

Su Yang understood in an instant and finally realized the situation, but his heart grew even more shocked.

He hadn't expected Beigong War God to be so meticulous and supremely strategic. Not only did he guess Su Yang's hiding method, but he also deduced Su Yang's location, something Su Yang had never considered.

Now it seemed no wonder Beigong War God could achieve today's accomplishments. With unparalleled strength and strategy, who could compare!?

Thinking of this, Su Yang also gained more confidence in Beigong War God's future. Facing such a person, the four major sects were truly courting death!

"In that case, let me hide you first!" Su Yang said with a smile.

"Alright!" Xue Nu nodded, simply closed his eyes, and the woman with short hair beside closed her eyes immediately.

"Uncle Xue Nu, there's no need for that," Su Yang said while opening the World Melting Furnace.

"This won't do!" Xue Nu shook his head with eyes closed, "This method of hiding within a space artifact is a personal secret and must never be leaked. Su Alliance Leader, be sure to remember this in the future. It's not that you can't trust certain people, but the more people know, the more likely it is for leaks to happen, and this method won't work then!"

Su Yang smiled; indeed, Beigong War God's subordinates were quite disciplined!

Taking them into the World Melting Furnace, Su Yang then went straight to the woods where his sister Black Widow was.

Xue Nu and the woman with short hair both knew Black Widow, who let someone arrange for them to rest. Lv Donglin was still unconscious.

Afterward, Black Widow inquired about the situation outside.

Upon hearing that Beigong War God deduced Su Yang's proximity to the Capital City, Black Widow's eyebrows immediately knitted together, and she said sternly: "Not good!"

"What's wrong?" Su Yang was surprised. Previously, Black Widow worried Su Yang would clash head-on with the four major sects. Now Lv Donglin was here, and Beigong War God was not in danger; what else was there to worry about?

Black Widow glanced at Su Yang and said solemnly, "Among the top fighters below Land Immortals, do you know who is the most strategically profound or perhaps the craftiest?"

Su Yang thought for a moment and said softly, "Martial Champion?"

"No!" Black Widow shook her head decisively. "Martial Champion isn't really crafty; it's just that he's overly cautious and self-preserving. The truly craftiest one is the Jade-faced Judge!"

"Jade-faced Judge?" Su Yang looked at Black Widow in confusion.

Black Widow continued, "Mahakaya is Martial Champion's junior brother. Mahakaya and Jade-faced Judge have faced off for many years, yet Martial Champion has never intervened in their feud. Have you ever thought about the reason behind this?"

Su Yang shook his head and said softly, "Martial Champion is also very timid in his actions; he probably doesn't want to get himself into trouble, right?"

"Martial Champion indeed acts cautiously, but he is also very protective of his own," Black Widow said. "He has a strong relationship with Mahakaya; their bond outshines that of mere brothers. Yet, in the matters between Jade-faced Judge and Mahakaya, Martial Champion has never intervened!"

"Why's that?" Su Yang couldn't help but be stunned.

"It's a matter from a hundred years ago, and I don't know the exact reason," Black Widow said. "But I heard people say it was all due to the ploys and methods of the Jade-faced Judge, which rendered Martial Champion unable to interfere for over a century!"

Su Yang was stunned. What kind of scheme, what kind of method could possibly force Martial Champion to ignore this matter for more than a hundred years?

However, this indeed demonstrates that this Jade-faced Judge is a very cunning person.

"When my father was around, he repeatedly said, if the Jade-faced Judge's strategies were used for righteous purposes, he might have already surpassed the Martial Champion." Black Widow said solemnly: "Unfortunately, he walks the crooked path, his achievements stagnate, and surpassing Martial Champion is extremely difficult. Yet, this underscores his formidable strategic capabilities."

Su Yang nodded, deeply shocked.

"After all I've told you, haven't you realized my point?" Black Widow asked suddenly.

Su Yang scratched his head and suddenly widened his eyes: "Are you saying the Jade-faced Judge's strategy surpasses even Beigong War God's?"

"Even if not stronger than Beigong War God, at least on par!" Black Widow nodded.

Su Yang's expression changed instantly, and he said solemnly, "If Beigong War God could deduce my hiding method and my being near the Capital City, then the Jade-faced Judge surely could too!"

"Exactly!" Black Widow nodded again, emphasizing her main point.

"The Jade-faced Judge knows my hiding method and that I'm near the Capital City. In theory, he should be guarding nearby, waiting for me to emerge. Yet, he ignores my situation and goes straight to Beigong War God..." Su Yang frowned, "Could it be the Jade-faced Judge's target isn't me but Beigong War God?"

"That's also my question!" Black Widow said solemnly, "The feud between the Jade-faced Judge and Beigong War God isn't significant. Even if the Jade-faced Judge makes a move, it's not necessarily to eliminate Beigong War God outright. What exactly does he intend by this?"

Su Yang frowned tightly. He suddenly realized the situation was not under their control, and he unconsciously began to worry about Beigong War God. They thought they understood everything, but the reality was developing in an unforeseen direction, and that's truly terrifying!
