Supreme Warrior in the City
Chapter 2535: Dao Ji
Su Yang did not expect that the location Qing Guang guided him to was actually where the Tao Sect was located. What does Qing Guang mean by this, could it be that they are meant to come to the Tao Sect here to seek help?
But, Qing Guang has always been guarding outside that planet, how does he know where this Tao Sect is? Furthermore, how could he know that the Tao Sect would rescue them?
Moreover, the most critical part is, judging from Dao Xuan’s reaction earlier, Dao Xuan seems to know about Qing Guang. Could it be that there’s some connection between Qing Guang and this Tao Sect?
Before long, Dao Xuan emerged from the mist. Someone else also came out, an emaciated old man, looking quite ordinary without any special features.
But Su Yang, upon seeing this old man, was quite shocked. Because he had met this old man before. Or rather, this old man had once saved his life!
Previously, when Su Yang first encountered people from the Heavenly War Alliance, he was captured by a Saint Emperor and his two disciples. Su Yang tricked those people and then sneak-attacked and devoured that Saint Emperor. However, after devouring that Saint Emperor, Su Yang himself fell into a coma, and remained unconscious for thirty years.
At that time, Su Yang was rescued by a passing old man, and he was in a coma for thirty years at the old man’s residence. Otherwise, he estimated that he would have long been killed by passing experts, and wouldn’t have survived till now.
This old man here was the one who saved him back then!
But then, why did Dao Xuan call him out? Wasn’t he going inside to find Dao Ji?
"Senior brother, it’s him!" At this moment, Dao Xuan said to the old man, "The matter regarding Qing Guang was spoken by him!"
"Senior brother!?" Su Yang widened his eyes in amazement, this old man is Dao Xuan’s senior brother, so is he Dao Ji?
The old man Dao Ji stared at Su Yang for a while, frowned and said, "Do you have any evidence to prove that it was Qing Guang who guided you to this place?"
"Evidence?" Su Yang was taken aback, where could he find evidence?
At this moment, a commotion suddenly sounded from afar. An instant later, a group of Guardian Gods rushed over from the horizon and quickly arrived here.
This group of Guardian Gods were the ones who had been tasked with hunting them.
Leading them was a man in golden armor. After approaching, he didn’t focus his gaze on Su Yang and others, but directly on Dao Ji. He looked at Dao Ji warily while quickly examining the surrounding environment, clearly memorizing the location here.
Obviously, this man knows Dao Ji. And now he wants to remember the position of the Tao Sect, after all, even the Guardian Gods are unaware of the Tao Sect’s location!
Dao Ji didn’t even spare him a glance, simply gazing silently at Su Yang, waiting for Su Yang’s response.
Su Yang didn’t know where to find evidence. In front of everyone, he couldn’t transform back into his original appearance to see Dao Ji, leaving him in awkwardness. Moreover, the Guardian Gods had arrived here; he could only stand with everyone, relying on the pressure from the Tao Sect against the Guardian Gods. He could tell that the Guardian Gods are somewhat apprehensive of Dao Ji.
After waiting for quite a while, upon seeing both Su Yang and Dao Ji remain silent, the Guardian Gods couldn’t resist anymore. The man in golden armor first cupped his hand towards Dao Ji and said aloud, "Dao Ji Sect Master, these people have a significant enmity with us, the Guardian Gods. We need to capture them to resolve the matter clearly. This matter is unrelated to the Tao Sect. If it causes any disturbance, I apologize to the Sect Master here in advance!"
Dao Ji didn’t even look at him, coldly saying, "Didn’t you see I am questioning, when is it your turn to speak here?"
The face of the golden-armored man changed, among the Guardian Gods, he is considered the absolute high-tier. Although he is not one of the Three Great Main Gods, his strength and status surpass those of the previous Ling Feng God. He believed he had given enough respect to Dao Ji, yet Dao Ji spoke in this manner, completely disregarding him!
"Dao Ji Sect Master, this is an affair between us, the Guardian Gods, and these people. Are you intending to involve yourself in this?" The man in golden armor said deeply, throwing out quite a heavy accusation. If Dao Ji admitted, it would mean opposing the Guardian Gods, a considerable matter.
"I know what to do, less nonsense from you!" Dao Ji said coldly, "Before I determine what action to take, get lost, don’t affect my mood here!"
"You..." The man in golden armor wanted to speak, but several others hurriedly restrained him.
Before these Guardian Gods set out, the Guardian Land’s last Main God had repeatedly urged them: if unnecessary, avoid conflicts with people of the Tao Sect.
If they ended up confronting people from the Tao Sect over a moment of verbal spat, upon return, they couldn’t bear that responsibility!
The man in golden armor also calmed down, understanding that if this matter escalated, while they might not fear Dao Ji, it wouldn’t be advantageous to him. Therefore, he could only suppress his anger and refrained from speaking further.
Dao Ji turned his head to Su Yang, his voice a bit cold: "Prove the words you have spoken, otherwise, the Tao Sect will not welcome you all!"
Su Yang was bewildered, what is the matter with this Dao Ji. He is the strongest among the Human Clan; if he were willing to help the Human Clan, they wouldn’t fall into such dire straits. Yet, he has this attitude towards the Human Clan, why doesn’t he want to help them?
However, saying Dao Ji doesn’t want to help the Human Clan, doesn’t quite seem right either. He previously saved Su Yang, if he didn’t want to help the Human Clan, why did he rescue Su Yang?
So, considering this, it seems like Dao Ji is a very contradictory person.
Su Yang couldn’t concern himself with too much now. They had been surrounded by Guardian Gods. If he couldn’t produce evidence to prove his words, Dao Ji would surely turn around and leave. By then, within their group, how many could survive?
But, how could he prove this matter?
After pondering for a while, a thought suddenly struck Su Yang.
If Dao Ji cares so much about the matter of Qing Guang, he might know something about that planet. If this is truly the case, then does he recognize something from that planet?
After hesitating for a moment, Su Yang finally took out the Jade Pendant hidden with him: "Dao Ji Senior, do you recognize this?"
This Jade Pendant comes from that planet. If Dao Ji indeed knows a lot about that planet, he might know about this Jade Pendant. After all, the matter of this Jade Pendant is widely known on that planet. Su Yang now is taking desperate measures, he had no other option left.
