Late at night, Su Yang walked out alone from his residence, slowly strolling through Qinghe Academy as if he were on a leisurely walk.

He was now transformed into Fang Zishu, and the aura he emitted was also Fang Zishu's aura. In the eyes of the Qinghe Academy guards, he was one of their own, so as he walked around here, no one paid any attention to him.

The guards primarily focused on unfamiliar auras, and as for those who were familiar, if they were also monitored, then even a few times more guards wouldn't be enough.

Su Yang, as if taking a stroll, meandered to the vicinity of the teacher's building.

Previously, Su Yang received news that figures with higher status or stronger abilities, like the Sect Leader and others, had been summoned by the Divine Master; it seemed they were given missions to prepare other plans to deal with Su Yang.

In other words, these people were now with the Divine Master, discussing ways to deal with Su Yang. At this moment, these individuals weren't inside the World Melting Furnace, or even near it, presenting Su Yang with the best opportunity.

First, take the World Melting Furnace, and then find a way to leave Capital City.

Su Yang had countless Yaochi Peach spiritual energy within his body, all at his disposal. This allowed Su Yang to maintain peak condition while escaping.

Although the Divine Master had many experts, if Su Yang truly wanted to flee, those on the Divine Master's side might not be able to stop him. It's worth knowing that the Heavenly Destiny Treasure Book contains many speed-enhancing secret techniques, which Su Yang had cultivated.

As long as he didn't encounter someone like Lei Peng, among that level of power, there weren't many who could match Su Yang's speed!

Moreover, Su Yang had planned well. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he also intended to trick the Zhang Family.

People from the Zhang Family had behaved like timid turtles, hidden away in their family manor. Despite the state of the Human Clan, they remained in hiding, which made Su Yang hold them in contempt. Therefore, Su Yang had planned to lead the Divine Master's people to the Zhang Family area to see how the Zhang Family would react!

After observing the surrounding defense situation and sensing the World Melting Furnace's aura, Su Yang didn't hesitate, he immediately began to act.

Power surged quickly from within him, causing the World Melting Furnace to shrink swiftly, flying out from the teacher's building, landing into Su Yang's hand.

At the same time, someone quickly flew out from the top floor of the teacher's building and shouted, "Who's there!"

Su Yang saw clearly; the person who came out was the Divine Master, and the Divine Master's gaze immediately fell on him.

Su Yang and the Divine Master both knew how to use the World Melting Furnace, and they could both sense its aura. The Divine Master instantly knew that the World Melting Furnace was on Su Yang!

"Fang Zishu!?" The Divine Master was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected this person to steal the World Melting Furnace.

In his view, although Fang Zishu was as renowned as Beigong War God, in reality, this Fang Zishu was far inferior to figures like Beigong War God.

Fang Zishu's potential was far below that of Beigong War God and others; his future path wouldn't extend far. So, to the Divine Master, Fang Zishu was merely an ordinary top-level cultivator, someone he hadn't paid much attention to.

But who would have thought that Fang Zishu would be so audacious, to steal the World Melting Furnace—wasn't he courting death?

Moreover, he couldn't understand how Fang Zishu knew the usage of the World Melting Furnace.

Su Yang having the Heavenly Destiny Treasure Book and knowing how to use the World Melting Furnace was normal.

But Fang Zishu?

The Divine Master was very certain that in the entire Nine Realms, those who knew how to use the World Melting Furnace could be counted on one hand. How did Fang Zishu find out?

Without waiting to think through these questions, Su Yang had already turned around and fled.

The Divine Master could spot it quickly, as Su Yang predicted, which is why he had long planned a retreat. He chose the place with the least defense, allowing him to escape and reach the Zhang Family area as swiftly as possible.

"Where do you think you're going!" The Divine Master was furious, shouting, "Catch him!"

By now, many top cultivators were already out, flying in the air, completely clueless about what had happened. They didn't even know whom the Divine Master wanted them to catch because none of them imagined that the Divine Master would have them capture Fang Zishu!

Meanwhile, Su Yang shouted loudly, "Quickly, Su Yang has brought people over; everyone prepare, don't let them get away!"

With these words, chaos ensued at Qinghe Academy.

The Divine Master told them to capture someone, but they didn't know whom to catch. Even the crowd still regarded Fang Zishu as one of their own.

But everyone heard Fang Zishu's shout clearly.

Su Yang actually brought people here?

So, it turns out that the one the Divine Master wanted them to capture was Su Yang and his group!

Thinking of this, everyone suddenly understood. Although they hadn't spotted Su Yang and his group yet, the crowd immediately began shouting to stop Su Yang, adamantly ensuring that Su Yang and his people wouldn't get away!

Seeing the chaos on the scene, the Divine Master was nearly beside himself with rage. He hadn't thought he'd be tricked by Fang Zishu like this. In such confusion, he had many people, but few could actually be useful!

"Fang Zishu!" The Divine Master shouted, "I want you to catch Fang Zishu!"

Everyone was astonished, looking at the Divine Master in bewilderment, still not understanding what he meant.

Catch Fang Zishu? Why?

"Divine Master, I really didn't betray you!" Su Yang shouted from afar, "Su Yang's group ran northward; if you don't believe me, take people north and you'll find them; it's not related to me..."

With these words, everyone instantly understood. It turns out Fang Zishu was framed by Su Yang's group, and the Divine Master was deceived, which led him to have them capture Fang Zishu!

The crowd shared glances, many looking towards the north. Although the Divine Master was shouting to catch Fang Zishu, everyone was well aware of who held more value between Fang Zishu and Su Yang!

Fang Zishu was merely wronged, whereas Su Yang truly posed a dire threat to the Divine Master. Catching Fang Zishu, if eventually proven to be wrongfully accused, wouldn't be considered meritorious.

But if Su Yang were caught, then that would truly be a great accomplishment!

Now they were at Qinghe Academy, in Capital City, on their own turf with many experts. Under these circumstances, where Su Yang's group had entered Capital City, how could they escape? It was practically a gift-wrapped merit, who would want to let it go?

Deliberating for a while, everyone quickly made their choice; a vast majority headed north, intent on capturing Su Yang!
