Su Yang was very satisfied with the current situation; the person he was looking for was exactly like this.

To understand the situation in Bright City, and to infiltrate it, he had to find someone who was very familiar with the place. Moreover, this person needed to be extremely clever to provide Su Yang with more advice.

The man in front of him perfectly matched Su Yang's requirements!

The man glanced at Su Yang and waved his hand: "Since you've seen through me, it seems you won't be walking with me any further. In that case, let's not waste time. Heading back early, perhaps I might encounter another fool!"

"Why the rush?" Su Yang chuckled and blocked the man's way.

"What, you want to block me?" The man's eyebrows furrowed and he said coldly, "I'll bet with you. If a fight breaks out here, it's sure to be you four who will suffer, not me. Do you believe that?"

"Heh..." Su Yang chuckled lightly, "Honestly, I don't believe it!"

"Don't believe it? You can try!" The man said arrogantly, "But I'll give you a piece of advice: Considering your current situation, it's best to quit while you're ahead. Nobody loses, and no grudges are formed. However, once a fight breaks out, it becomes a matter of life and death. Do you understand what I mean?"

"I understand!" Su Yang nodded, "But I still don't believe we'll suffer!"

"Seems you really don't shed tears until you see the coffin!" The man shouted in anger, "Fine, since you're seeking death, I'll fulfill your wish!"

After speaking, the man suddenly stepped back and raised his hand to cast a white light. The white light wasn't directed at Su Yang but shot directly into the sky.

However, the white light climbed only a short distance before it seemed to hit an invisible wall and was directly blocked.

The man hesitated for a moment, furrowing his brows, "You set up an array here to stop me, are you dreaming?"

"It's not just one array; it's three arrays!" Su Yang chuckled, "The three guys didn't leave to relieve themselves; they went to set up arrays!"

"So what if there are three arrays!" The man said coldly, "Three arrays cannot trap me. My comrades are nearby; breaking these three arrays won't take long. Once I send out my message, if you four can escape, it'll be your skill!"

"Is that so?" Su Yang smiled calmly, walked slowly to the man's side, and whispered, "But do you think you have time to break these three arrays?"

"I don't have time?" The man sneered at Su Yang, "With your strength, killing you first then breaking the arrays poses no problem!"

"Is that so?" Su Yang still smiled calmly. At that moment, his aura surged suddenly.

Before the man could react, an illusion rose behind Su Yang. Immediately, Su Yang's body rapidly enlarged.

The man's expression changed drastically. At that moment, he finally understood the source of Su Yang's confidence.

However, he had no chance to resist; the illusion opened its mouth and swallowed him whole.

The man's power was not weak, but Su Yang was no longer what he used to be. Plus, with the formidable Devouring the World illusion, he could fully consume the man in a short period!

Of course, digesting after swallowing is the key.

Previously, Su Yang chopped people into pieces before engulfing them, leaving them with little power to resist.

But this time, Su Yang didn't have much time to waste. He needed to resolve this matter as quickly as possible. Otherwise, it's not just the man's comrades that might come; even unrelated passersby could cause trouble. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Therefore, Su Yang didn't shred the man but directly engulfed him using the illusion.

Su Yang collected the illusion and sat in the void, using his and the illusion's power to suppress the man's strength.

At this point, the three crystal skulls also withdrew the array. The array was mainly to prevent the man from sending out signals and also to block Su Yang's aura from leaking.

The three crystal skulls hurried over as Su Yang sat quietly for half an hour, thoroughly suppressing the man's power.

Of course, Su Yang did not kill him, only absorbed most of his power. Afterwards, Su Yang sent him into his personal space.

Now the man was left with only life-sustaining power, completely drained of any strength to resist.

Heading towards the small town with the three crystal skulls brought them closer; it kept troublemakers at bay, and the secluded area allowed Su Yang to act freely.

Leaving the three crystal skulls to guard the area, Su Yang entered the personal space and approached the man.

The man was now slumped on the ground, unable to muster the strength to stand.

Upon seeing Su Yang, the man's face showed panic as he trembled and said, "Who… who exactly are you? How… how do you have… the Heaven Slayer's illusion?"

Su Yang had long suspected the illusion behind him was indeed the Heaven Slayer's. Now, this confirmed his guess — the illusion was truly the Heaven Slayer's!

"That's none of your concern!" Su Yang said coldly, "I have some questions for you. If your answers satisfy me, I can let you live. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"

The man stared at Su Yang for a while, taking a deep breath, and said solemnly, "You possess the Heaven Slayer's illusion but lack corresponding strength. It's like a baby with a treasure, roaming the marketplace. Do you know what this leads to?"

"A baby eventually grows up!" Su Yang spoke leisurely, "My matters aren't your concern, I have my ways to survive. Let me ask you, what is your name?"

The man seemed reluctant at first but, seeing his condition, finally sighed and said, "Lin Ye!"

"You seem very familiar with Bright City!" Su Yang spoke leisurely.

Lin Ye watched Su Yang, unsure of his intent, and remained silent.

"I've come to Bright City for some very important matters!" Su Yang said, "I'm not hiding anything from you; you remain a part of the Human Clan, hence my kin. I'm not afraid to tell you what I must do — this time, I'm here to kill some Guardian Gods!"

"Ah?" Lin Ye's eyes widened in bewilderment as he stared at Su Yang, "You… you want to kill Guardian Gods?"

"The Guardian Gods who came here from the Great World!" Su Yang briefly explained the situation of the Nine Palace Main Gods.
