Supreme Warrior in the City
Chapter 1876 1875: Taking the Road Less Traveled
After considering the information provided by these people, Su Yang was suddenly shocked to discover that this Divine Palace seemed like the world inside the World Melting Furnace!
The gravity is extremely strong, time is tenfold compared to the Human World, spiritual energy is particularly abundant, and there are many powerful demon beasts, extremely strong. Isn't this precisely the world inside the World Melting Furnace!
The Divine Master actually referred to the World Melting Furnace as the Divine Palace, and even placed the World Melting Furnace within Qinghe Academy. Moreover, these people don't even know what the Divine Palace is; they probably haven't seen the complete form of the World Melting Furnace!
According to these people, the three to four hundred possessors spend most of their time inside the Divine Palace and do not come out. Even when the Divine Master wanted to kill Qi Zhishan, he had to unite thirteen top experts from among those overseas practitioners to finally kill him.
While Su Yang was in the Turquoise Pool, Qi Zhishan was the main force in the Human World resisting the Divine Master. The Divine Master would surely long to kill Qi Zhishan, so no one could oppose him.
If what these people say is true, and the Divine Master has three to four hundred such possessors by his side, all with immense strength, it shouldn't have been a difficult task for the Divine Master to kill Qi Zhishan. It shouldn't have taken so much time, nor should he have needed help from those overseas practitioners.
Yet, it took the Divine Master more than two years to finally kill Qi Zhishan, which is indeed a considerable time span.
According to these people, these possessors spend most of their time inside the World Melting Furnace and do not emerge.
This means that the Divine Master did not send out a large number of possessors to deal with Qi Zhishan, allowing Qi Zhishan to persist for over two years.
But why is this? Since sending out these possessors could easily solve Qi Zhishan, why didn't the Divine Master do so?
Su Yang already had a general hypothesis in his heart. It's not that the Divine Master didn't want these possessors to come out to deal with Qi Zhishan, but he couldn't do so.
Or, perhaps these possessors remained within the World Melting Furnace for other reasons. Whatever the case, one thing is certain: these people cannot leave the World Melting Furnace in large numbers!
Thinking of this, Su Yang felt a bit more at ease. Previously, he was worried that the power on the Divine Master's side was too strong and that his side wouldn't be able to contend with it. Now it seems that he doesn't need to worry too much.
After asking some more questions about the Divine Master's strength, Su Yang sealed the power of these few individuals and imprisoned them in the Turtle Shell World.
This Turtle Shell World is also a space world, but in reality, there isn't any spiritual energy in this space. Moreover, before the Little Turtle matures, this space isn't very large. Once the Little Turtle matures, the space will gradually expand with the increase in power and eventually become a world.
By sealing these individuals' power and imprisoning them in the Turtle Shell World without spiritual energy supply, they cannot recover, and there's no need to worry about them escaping.
After arranging for these individuals, Su Yang, as before, instructed the group to temporarily hide in the Turtle Shell Space. Meanwhile, he brought Lei Peng, Zhao Yuanzhou, and Lin Mie with him, slowly approaching the direction of the Capital City.
According to these people, the Divine Master has already allied the four major sects and those overseas practitioners together. His current strength is much stronger than the cultivators of the former Huaxia. Even without those possessors emerging, the people on Su Yang's side are far from being their opponents.
Therefore, Su Yang could not possibly confront these people head-on, as victory was simply not possible.
Su Yang had considered gradually harassing to force the Divine Master to send people out, then dispersing them and defeating them one by one.
However, Su Yang eventually dismissed this method himself. After everything that had happened, Su Yang had some understanding of the Divine Master. Needless to say, the Divine Master's cunning was not beneath anyone. Using ordinary methods to deal with him was not suitable, so Su Yang had to take an unconventional path.
The Divine Master likely foresaw that Su Yang would use harassment in various cities to draw out the Divine Master's people. However, Su Yang chose not to follow this predictable path and instead headed straight to the Capital City, the place where the Divine Master's power was strongest.
According to those people, although the Divine Master has already controlled the majority of the Human World, in other areas, he merely made the local forces or families submit to him and sent a few people to manage.
However, the Divine Master's true power is concentrated near the Capital City, gathered around him. Be it the four major sects or those overseas practitioners, the powerful experts among them are now in the Capital City, gathering around the Divine Master.
Not to mention the three to four hundred possessors, but now more than two hundred top experts are gathered in the Capital City. Among them, there are some even stronger individuals, such as those two experts from Huaxia, whose power is comparable to the Beigong War God, and they have also been recruited by the Divine Master.
Most of these people live in Qinghe Academy. Although a small portion does not live in Qinghe Academy, they are distributed throughout various parts of the Capital City.
Earlier, Su Yang had the captives draw a map showing the distribution of these individuals in the Capital City. After carefully observing the map, Su Yang found that the distribution of these people in the Capital City effectively covered the entire city. This feeling was like the Divine Master's sentry positions, rigorously guarding Qinghe Academy!
Along the way, Su Yang kept analyzing this situation. What does the Divine Master mean by gathering so many top experts around him? Is he having these people defend Qinghe Academy? But what exactly does Qinghe Academy have that needs defending?
Su Yang knew that the greatest secret within Qinghe Academy was those eight stone coffins, which are the locations of the eight boundary points.
However, among them, seven boundary points have been closed, not something ordinary people can open. The Heavenly Road has also been thrown into Storm Valley by the Divine Master; indeed, there is nothing in these eight boundary points that needs guarding.
If it is not to guard these eight boundary points, then what exactly is being guarded?
Linking to the three to four hundred possessors, who are mostly hidden within the World Melting Furnace, Su Yang vaguely felt that the Divine Master's actions should be related to the World Melting Furnace, or to those possessors within it.
Su Yang couldn't figure out the connection, but without a doubt, the World Melting Furnace should play a significant role in the Divine Master's plans. Therefore, Su Yang came to the Capital City this time, intending to target the World Melting Furnace!
