"Ah?" Elder Qee scratched his head, then curled his lips and said, "What are we afraid of? Even if soone thinks so, what can they do? Can they actually do anything against our dicine Sect?"
"Don’t forget, the Capital City still has a Martial Champion!" Elder Two said coldly.
"The rules of heaven and earth are about to change. What does a Martial Champion matter anymore?" Elder Qee said angrily.
"Silence!" Elder Two shouted angrily, causing Elder Qee to jump in fright, no longer daring to speak.
Elder Two walked up to him and lowered his voice significantly: "Before things are finalized, don’t act too conspicuously, understand?"
Elder Qee nodded repeatedly, no longer daring to say more.
Elder Two walked to the window, gazing at the darkening night sky outside, speaking softly: "Do you know why I’ve only invited those three sects?"
Elder Qee shook his head. The three sects assisting the dicine Sect were the ones with close ties to them. Yet, with Elder Two’s abilities and resources, he could have invited more sects, but he intentionally chose not to.
The dicine Sect always operated in a showy manner. For Elder Two to invite only three sects was puzzling to Elder Qee; he couldn’t understand why Elder Two had suddenly opted for discretion.
Elder Two said softly, "Tonight’s battle is not critical. The most crucial thing is the upcoming matter of changing the rules of heaven and earth. Recently, too many despicable individuals have entered the Capital City, all waiting for this change. People’s thoughts vary, and their purposes differ. We must focus entirely on resolving this matter. As for this Su Yang, it’s just a minor issue, no need to dwell on it."
Elder Qee nodded slowly: "That Su fellow is just a small fry. He’s surrounded by a few insignificant mortals helping him, that’s all. If the rules of heaven and earth weren’t restricting us, killing him would be as simple as flipped palms. Ah, it all cos back to that—the limitations imposed by these damn rules. Within the Ten Great Sects, there are so many Earthly Immortals. These rules exist solely to suppress us. They must be changed!"
"As long as you understand." Elder Two said lightly, "Over the past few days, not just the Ten Great Sects but several Superlunary Sects and Superlunary Clans have been arriving at the Capital City, all for the matter of these rules. Before they all gather, let’s deal with this Su Yang first, and let the world witness the strength of our dicine Sect. So that when everyone is assembled, we will have a stronger voice."
"Exactly!" Elder Qee’s face lit up with excitent. "However, Qinghe Academy seems to be fully supporting that Su Yang..."
"Qinghe Academy..." A trace of disdain flickered on Elder Two’s face. "A bunch of old fossils, unable to adapt to the tis, chirping all day about serving the world’s common people. Hmph, vain idolaters—they have no idea what survival of the fittest ans. Since we’ve cultivated to the Land Fairy Realm, we are the pinnacle of this world. This is our achievent. Why do we, who have forged our strength through hardship, still have to endure so many restrictions? To let so little mortal scold us without rebuke—is there any aning in training to this level?"
"Well said!" Elder Qee’s face brightened with zeal. "Second Brother, what you said is so true. We’ve cultivated to the Land Fairy Realm; this is our triumph, won through our own sweat and blood. Those mortals have done nothing, and yet we must still coexist with them as equals. Isn’t that absurd? In my opinion, Earthly Immortals are the rightful rulers of this world—mortals are nothing but ants at our feet. Why should we show them courtesy at all? The rules of heaven and earth are completely nonsensical!"
"Heh..." Elder Two chuckled lightly, patting Elder Qee’s shoulder. "This ti, changing the rules is sothing Qinghe Academy strongly opposes. However, many things have already shifted beyond their control. Co, let’s head to the North Mountain Summit. Tonight, we’ll fight a splendid battle."
"Got it!" Elder Qee grinned, following after him. "Oh, Second Brother, as per your instructions, I’ve already assembled experts from fifteen different families. The mont the fighting begins, we’ll let them take the lead first. Once they’ve exhausted Su Yang, we’ll strike and kill him directly—this will save our own strength. You’re absolutely right—these mortals are fools; just let them bite at each other like dogs!"
"Hahaha..." Elder Two threw his head back and laughed, full of complacency.
...
The sky finally turned completely dark as Su Yang and his companions prepared to set out for the North Mountain Summit.
Just then, a group of people suddenly arrived outside. Leading them was Han Shao from the Han Family.
Having consud the elixir given to him by Su Yang, Han Shao’s body had already recovered. He now stood outside with several dozen people, waiting for Su Yang.
Among the group, so were from the Han Family, so from the Shi Family, and others from the Tang Family. These three families could be considered Su Yang’s loyal allies in the Capital City.
As soon as Su Yang erged, Han Shao imdiately stepped forward and bowed, "Master Su, my father and the others are packing up belongings and escorting the elderly and children of the family out of the Capital City. Thus, only us from the Han Family remain idle—we are willing to follow Master Su to the North Mountain Summit!"
People from Shi Family and Tang Family also stepped forward and bowed, declaring, "We are willing to follow Master Su to the North Mountain Summit!"
This developnt was entirely unexpected for Su Yang.
Tonight’s battle was considered by all to be a certain death for Su Yang.
At this point, all Su Yang hoped for was that the prominent families in the Capital City wouldn’t turn on him. Luckily, most of these families had remained neutral after the last incident.
Su Yang hadn’t sent out any requests for assistance. He knew this battle would rely solely on himself.
But he hadn’t anticipated anyone coming to his aid.
Looking at the people before him, though few in number, Su Yang knew very well this represented the entirety of the three families’ most capable forces.
Their strength wasn’t very formidable to begin with, and after several ordeals, their remaining experts were scant. Those present essentially comprised the last remnants of their power.
Su Yang felt deeply moved. He slowly nodded, speaking loudly, "Thank you all. However, tonight’s battle is between the dicine Sect and . I truly don’t want to drag you into it. So, I ask that you return."
The group exchanged glances with each other before Han Shao stepped forward and said, "Master Su, I understand your intentions. But since we’ve co, we’re not afraid to die. The dicine Sect ans nothing to us. You saved our lives, Master Su—this ti, if we can’t win, we simply repay our lives to you. There is nothing to fear!"
"That’s right, we are not afraid!" the crowd cheered enthusiastically.
