Chapter 2688: Chapter 2688: Immortal Venerable
Su Yang didn’t speak; he was still contemplating the matter in his heart.
Qi’er’s identity indeed allows the subordinates of the Human Emperor to heed my commands. So, could the half-faced Buddha image given by the Buddha Venerable also command those under the Buddha Venerable?
The problem is, what about those under the Taoist Venerable?
Moreover, there are internal conflicts among the three factions from the Ancient times, making it even harder to resolve.
While Su Yang was deep in thought, a voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Upon hearing of Su Alliance Leader’s return, the Immortal Venerable has specially set up a banquet to welcome Su Alliance Leader. We earnestly invite Su Alliance Leader to honor us with your presence!"
Jiang Zi’er looked at Su Yang, shrugging helplessly: "They sought us out first."
Su Yang was also helpless. He flew out of the room, looking at the person speaking in the air.
It was a young man, though he came to invite Su Yang, his face was full of arrogance. He was floating in the air, right above Su Yang’s house, as if he was standing on Su Yang’s head.
Su Yang frowned. This youth certainly isn’t someone from the Ancient Times!
"This is a disciple taken in by the Immortal Venerable..." Jiang Zi’er whispered beside, "After these people returned, they’ve been taking in a lot of disciples to enhance their strength. Many members of our coalition army have joined them, including some from the Nine Realms. After becoming disciples of those Heavenly Warriors, their attitudes have become much more arrogant. Over the years, many who had some backbone in the coalition army have been bullied lot by them!"
Hearing this, Su Yang was filled with anger.
I racked my brains and risked my life fighting for the Human Clan, doing so much, bringing back powerful beings from the Primordial times. The coalition sacrificed so much for this. And you come back to do this? Stepping on the coalition’s head? Do you so-called Heavenly Warriors even understand gratitude!
The young man in the sky saw Su Yang come out and, without saying a word, became angry and said coldly: "Su Alliance Leader, my master personally invites you. Are you at least going to say something? By saying nothing, are you looking down on my master or us Ancient Heavenly Warriors?"
Su Yang had been simmering with anger, and upon hearing this he immediately erupted, shouting: "You know I am the Su Alliance Leader? I am the Lord of the Human Clan’s alliance. Who are you to dare speak above my head? Immortal Venerable? Humph, is this how the Ancient Heavenly Warriors teach their disciples? I really don’t know if it’s you, the disciple, who lacks quality, or if your master, Immortal Venerable, is just as unrefined!"
The young man was suddenly stunned. Immortal Venerable is one of the outstanding beings among the Ancient Heavenly Warriors. Even other Heavenly Warriors dare not speak to the Immortal Venerable like this. Now, Su Yang speaking this way, he’s never encountered such a thing!
"Brother Su..." Jiang Zi’er said worriedly: "The Immortal Venerable, he’s very powerful..."
Su Yang waved his hand confidently: "I have my own measure!"
Jiang Zi’er opened her mouth, but in the end, said no more.
The young man in the air was furious, pointing at Su Yang and cursing: "The surname Su, do you really think you’re something? We call you Su Alliance Leader out of respect. Without giving you face, what are you? Daring to insult my master, do you really not want to live? I’ll go back and report this to my master, and then we’ll see how you beg for mercy!"
"Think you can run?" Su Yang shouted, swinging his palm and slapped the young man down.
The young man wasn’t strong, but a Divine Artifact on him immediately flew up, blocking Su Yang’s strike. So, although the young man fell, he wasn’t injured.
The young man’s expression was even more ferocious, shouting under the protection of the Divine Artifact: "The surname Su, you dare strike at me? Foolish! You think you can kill me? I have the Divine Artifact passed down from my master. Unless a Heavenly Warrior takes action, no one can do anything to me. You want to fight me, you must be tired of living!"
"Who doesn’t have a Heavenly War God’s Divine Artifact!" Su Yang shouted, catching the Heaven-Slaying Blade that appeared in his hand.
The young man remained unfazed, but at that moment, the Divine Artifact on him suddenly emitted a radiant light, and a figure appeared—a white-bearded, white-haired elder.
"That’s the Immortal Venerable!" Jiang Zi’er immediately said.
"Master!" The young man, seeing the elder, immediately exclaimed excitedly: "This surname Su doesn’t respect you, speaks wildly, insults you, and used a heavy hand on me, simply insulting us!"
The elder ignored him, simply looking at Su Yang, nodding: "Su Alliance Leader, young mouths speak without choosing their words, they said the wrong things. A little lesson suffices, why such anger?"
"I’m not angry at all!" Su Yang said leisurely: "He thinks that with your bestowed Divine Artifact, I can’t do anything to him. So, I just wanted to show him that there’s always a sky beyond the sky, a man beyond a man."
"My master’s Divine Artifact is here, who do you think you can scare?" The young man shouted again.
"Silence!" The elder yelled, making the young man jump in fright, immediately silencing.
The elder looked at Su Yang again with a faint smile: "Su Alliance Leader, while the words are indeed as you say. But in teaching the younger generation, moderation is key. You produced the Heaven-Slaying Blade; it’s clear you intended to take his life. A blow from the Heaven-Slaying Blade can shatter the Heavenly Dao. How could a mere disciple withstand such a blow?"
The young man behind was stunned. Initially, he underestimated Su Yang. But hearing his master’s words now, he panicked. Only now did he realize, he was standing at the gate of Ghost Gate.
"Don’t worry, I’m not the Heaven Slayer, not that powerful!" Su Yang said: "I’ll strike only once. With your bestowed Divine Artifact, he may not die. Venerable, step aside, the Heaven-Slaying Blade is blind. Even though this is just your power incarnation, if it strikes, it won’t be good!"
The Immortal Venerable’s face turned slightly cold, speaking solemnly: "Su Alliance Leader, sending a disciple to invite you to a gathering. Even if you refuse to respect, there’s no need to attack an envoy so harshly? Does Su Alliance Leader truly think himself the Lord of the Human Clan, looking down on both Ancient and Primordial Heavenly Warriors?"
This Immortal Venerable intends to escalate things, involving other Heavenly Warriors, truly a stubborn figure.
Su Yang glanced at the Immortal Venerable, saying coldly: "Old man, don’t slap a hat on my head. You sent someone over, what do you mean by it, we both know. If goading is what you choose, I can help publicize it, and we’ll see if the other five factions listen to you."
