The dozens of people didn''tst long and were soonpletely dealt with by Lv Donglin.

    Throughout the process, Lv Donglin wasn''t injured in the slightest. These people''s skills,pared to them, were truly a world apart.

    After handling the corpses, Lv Donglin spat and cursed, "Has the Second Elder reached a point of desperation, trying anything? Deploying such small fry to kill us? Does he really think we''re soft targets that anyone can just mess with?"

    Qi Zhishan said nothing, but Su Yang frowned deeply, feeling that this matter wouldn''t be that simple.

    After resolving the matter, the three returned to the Capital City.

    Now that the Four Major Sects were not in the Capital City, the three had nothing to fear and even returned to the abandoned Shen Family Manor where Su Yang used to live.

    The Shen Family Manor was now empty since it was previously Su Yang''s residence. After the Four Major Sects invaded the Capital City, no one dared to stay here, lest they be seen as aligned with Su Yang, leaving the ce deste.

    "Tonight''s incident was not simple!" Qi Zhishan said, "The Second Elder organizing these people for an ambush ispletely meaningless. On the contrary, it would only expose himself. It''s known that Lingxiao Pavilion and the Ends of the Earth are searching for him everywhere. Logically, at this time, he should be lying low, rather than acting out. Even if he had to act, it should be something with full confidence, not such meaningless acts!"

    Su Yang nodded, as this was exactly what he wanted to say. Thus, he couldn''t figure out what the Second Elder was really up to.

    "I also find it odd!" Lv Donglin looked at Su Yang and said, "Su Yang, could it be that the Second Elder has some hidden plot?"

    "Most likely!" Su Yang nodded. In truth, he wasn''t too concerned about the Second Elder. What he truly worried about was the Jade-faced Judge standing behind the Second Elder.

    From these incidents, Su Yang already knew that the Jade-faced Judge was not simple. Not only was his martial prowess phenomenal, but his strategic brilliance was unmatched. Dealing with someone like him was no small feat.

    In fact, the Second Elder couldn''t have possibly predicted Su Yang and Lv Donglining to the Capital City to spectate. Only the Jade-faced Judge could have guessed this. So this entire incident was definitely orchestrated by the Jade-faced Judge maneuvering the Second Elder from behind.

    Moreover, considering the previous incident with the Jade-faced Judge sending someone to deal with Qi Zhishan, it reinforced what the ck Widow said. The Jade-faced Judge''s intentions were not as they appeared on the surface. He was continuously stirring up various conflicts, yet no one could discern his true purpose. Despite so many conflicts, he didn''t seem to profit from them, which doesn''t align with normal logic — this unpredictability is the most confounding!

    And Su Yang understood well that the more unintelligible the situation seemed, the more serious the hidden problem was. Behind the Jade-faced Judge''s motives, who knows what ns were brewing. The most troubling aspect was that Su Yang had no idea what those ns might be.

    "Brother Qi, do you know much about the Jade-faced Judge?" Su Yang suddenly asked.

    Qi Zhishan shook his head, "The Jade-faced Judge is as mysterious as the Martial Champion. Ever since he got trapped by Mahakaya, he hasn''t taken a single step outside. Both Mr. Beigong and I became famous rtivelyte, so we have no understanding of his affairs. If there''s anyone who understands him, it''s probably only Mahakaya!"

    "Mahakaya!" Su Yang furrowed his brow. Since the destruction of the Buddha Pce, Mahakaya hasn''t been seen. Some say he''s gravely injured, perhaps even dead, but Su Yang feels that figures like Mahakaya aren''t easy to kill and might just be hiding to recuperate!

    And now, with Mahakaya absent, there''s truly no one who understands the Jade-faced Judge, nor anyone who can figure out what exactly the Jade-faced Judge''s intentions behind his actions are!

    "However, there''s no need for us to overthink it!" Qi Zhishan suddenly said, "From now on, I''ll consider the Jade-faced Judge my primary foe and track him relentlessly. I''ll slowly investigate his motives. Even if I can''t uncover them, I intend to kill him; once he''s dead, whatever his plots, they''ll all be in vain!"

    Su Yang nodded, "Indeed, but the Jade-faced Judge is no easy foe, Brother Qi, you must be careful!"

    "Haha…" Qi Zhishan coldlyughed, "I may not be a match for the Martial Champion, but if I can''t kill the Jade-faced Judge, that would indeed be a joke!"

    It was clear that Qi Zhishan was highly confident. This confidence seemed to emerge after his bout with the Martial Champion, which puzzled Su Yang.

    Qi Zhishan clearly lost his battle against the Martial Champion. Moreover, having exited so quickly, Qi Zhishan seemed to have faced a brutal defeat. Why, then, did such a defeat render Qi Zhishan more confident?

    Su Yang found it inconvenient to ask more, as Qi Zhishan also hadn''t mentioned the details of his fight with the Martial Champion. He merely told Su Yang and Lv Donglin about the celestial phenomena they observed, along with those two cryptic lines.

    Purple streaks streaming three thousand miles, chest harboring sun and moon swallowing the Dipper.

    Su Yang couldn''t fathom the meaning of this line, but undoubtedly, it described the Martial Champion''s realm of power.

    "Tomorrow, I''ll leave the Capital City andmence my hunt for the Jade-faced Judge!" Qi Zhishan said, "Brother Su, Young Lv, if you both have nothing else, it''s best to hide somewhere. In theing times, it''s wise to avoid exposure. Who knows how many are searching for you? If the Second Elder can organize this current incident, who''s to say he won''t attempt other schemes? Roaming outside could be very dangerous!"

    Su Yang nced at Lv Donglin; in truth, he too was considering finding a ce to hide temporarily. Given theplexity of the current situation, wandering outside with their limited capabilities was indeed perilous.

    However, Lv Donglin was unlikely to agree to hide. With his uncle having perished in battle, he was certainly determined to journey to the northern Yan Gui City, at the very least to uncover his uncle''s true circumstances!

    Therefore, Su Yang ultimately shook his head, "We still have a few matters to attend to. Once they''re resolved, we''ll look for somewhere to conceal ourselves."

    "That''s fine too!" Qi Zhishan nodded, "In any case, stay vignt."

    Su Yang nodded, being well aware of the current situation. Whether it was the Jade-faced Judge, the Second Elder, Lingxiao Pavilion, Ends of the Earth, or the southern Paradise, all were in pursuit of him. If he were to fall into any of their hands, the consequences would be truly grim. Therefore, acting cautiously indeed was of utmost importance!
