Supreme Warrior in the City
Chapter 1940 - 1939: The Purpose of the Eight Realms
Su Yang looked at the headmaster and others nearby, observing that their expressions were all calm. It seemed they had long been aware of this matter and had also accepted it.
In fact, Su Yang also understood that at this point, refusing to agree was impossible.
If they didn't agree, it would be the Seven Realms first destroying the Heavenly Realm, then the Human World.
There was even a possibility of the Heavenly Realm and the Seven Realms uniting, leading to the Eight Realms destroying the Human World.
Now, allowing only eighty people to enter the Human World was a very compromised solution. At least, it was much better than having the Seven Realms army on their doorstep!
"What is the strength of these eighty people?" Su Yang asked.
"All are at the Fusion Realm!" The Heavenly Court Master replied directly.
"What!?" Su Yang thought he must have heard it wrong; he had assumed the Eight Realms would send their strongest experts to compete for the treasures within Feather Spirit Palace. Unexpectedly, this situation—what did it mean? They were sending people all at the Fusion Realm?
"Feather Spirit Palace is filled with dangers, and these dangers scale according to your realm." The Heavenly Court Master said in a deep voice, "The higher the realm, the greater the danger upon entering Feather Spirit Palace. So, Land Immortals entering the Feather Spirit Palace have the highest death rate. Even if they don't die, it's impossible to make it out. Over the years, the only Land Immortal to come out was the former Lord of Feather Realm. However, the Lord of Feather Realm died shortly after coming out. So, for safety's sake, this time only those at the Fusion Realm will enter Feather Spirit Palace. Of course, if the Human World wants Land Immortals to enter, they won't oppose it!"
Su Yang looked at the headmaster and others, whose expressions were unanimous; it was certainly not possible to let Land Immortals enter.
The headmaster had been to Feather Spirit Palace and knew the situation inside clearly, so he was the first to deny letting Land Immortals go.
Hence, the final decision appeared to be that the Human World would also select ten cultivators at the Fusion Realm to go to Feather Spirit Palace.
"Feather Spirit Palace is full of dangers, only eighty cultivators at the Fusion Realm entering..." Su Yang said in a deep voice, "If they encounter any danger, we can't guarantee their safety!"
"You don't need to worry about that." The Heavenly Court Master laughed, "Since they chose to enter Feather Spirit Palace, they were mentally prepared. Even if they all perish inside, it's their choice, an agreement reached beforehand. So, neither the Human World nor our Heavenly Realm needs to be responsible for their safety. Just remember, as long as they don't die outside of Feather Spirit Palace, that's enough. Regarding deaths inside Feather Spirit Palace, no matter how many die, no one will care!"
Su Yang glanced at the Heavenly Court Master, feeling as if he was being encouraged to go and kill those people inside Feather Spirit Palace. Su Yang certainly didn't think that the Heavenly Court Master would have such goodwill. Whatever he did was from the Heavenly Realm's standpoint, implying some underlying motive!
Looking at the headmaster and seeing no sign of objection, Su Yang nodded, "In that case, it's settled. The eighty people will enter the Human World, but their destination will solely be Feather Spirit Palace and nowhere else. I also hope the Heavenly Realm can make this clear to them!"
"Rest assured!" The Heavenly Court Master said, "If they have any other schemes, there's no need for the Human World to act—our Heavenly Court will naturally execute them. This is our Heavenly Court's promise to you!"
"Good!" Su Yang nodded satisfied.
The Heavenly Court Master nodded as well, then rose and greeted the others before leaving with the Heavenly Court members.
Watching them leave, Su Yang immediately turned to glance at the others in the room. The headmaster and others remained seated, indicating there were still matters to discuss with Su Yang.
"Headmaster, what exactly is the situation with this matter?" Su Yang promptly asked, aware that the headmaster had likely withheld many things while the Heavenly Court Master was present.
The headmaster sighed softly and said in a low voice, "Su Yang, this time, are you planning to enter Feather Spirit Palace personally?"
"Definitely!" Su Yang replied straightforwardly; he had to go in to find Qi'er, so there was no way he wouldn't go.
"These people are actually targeting you," the headmaster said.
"What?" Su Yang was taken aback. "Targeting me? For what? I have no enmity with them..."
"For so many years, only you've been able to come out of Feather Spirit Palace, and you brought out so many Land Immortals. Thus, the Seven Realms and even the Heavenly Realm suspect you acquired something from Feather Spirit Palace," the headmaster said softly. "Setting the entrants at the Fusion Realm is essentially a deliberate act to deceive you. If too many Land Immortals were entering, they worried you wouldn't enter Feather Spirit Palace. In essence, they want to lure you into Feather Spirit Palace!"
Su Yang furrowed his brow, "They want to use me to uncover the secrets of Feather Spirit Palace?"
"Exactly!" The headmaster nodded.
"But, I don't know what the situation inside Feather Spirit Palace is either!" Su Yang said, "I can't even enter Feather Spirit Palace, only Qi'er can. We were sent out by that masked person; what's the use of finding me?"
"The key is they don't believe what you say!" The third-generation Martial God interjected from the side, "Since you came out, you've brought out so many Land Immortals from Feather Spirit Palace. Moreover, your strength has advanced by leaps and bounds, making them think you gained some benefits inside Feather Spirit Palace. That's why they want to figure out the secrets of Feather Spirit Palace through you. Plus, with Feather Spirit Palace opening earlier than expected, their suspicions have grown. So to them, Feather Spirit Palace is just a guise; you are their actual target!"
Su Yang was stunned, finally realizing the gravity of the situation after hearing everyone's analysis.
"In reality, the Heavenly Realm is also full of doubts about you," the headmaster said softly, "Otherwise, they wouldn't have set such a rule. No killings outside Feather Spirit Palace, but no rules inside it. In essence, once inside Feather Spirit Palace, it's the time for these people to deal with you. Inside the palace, we can't even intervene, which is their actual intent!"
Su Yang knitted his brows; one had to admit these people were indeed cunning. Unable to capture Su Yang outright, they resorted to using this method against him.
"Therefore, we hope you won't enter Feather Spirit Palace this time!" Xu Fenghou said in a low voice.
Su Yang looked at Xu Fenghou, then at the others around him, immediately shaking his head, "No, I must enter Feather Spirit Palace personally!"
