Supreme Warrior in the City

Upon seeing the light, Qi Zhishan couldn't help but be stunned. He turned to Mahakaya and asked, "The Gate of Life and Death?"

Mahakaya also furrowed his brow. He hadn't expected that the Jade-faced Judge would choose to take this step finally.

In fact, the Beigong War God had also taken this step back then.

The Gate of Life and Death is akin to becoming a living dead. The conditions to enter it are extremely harsh; one must reach a certain level of strength to enter.

However, among a million who enter the Gate of Life and Death, not even one may awaken.

For cultivators of their level, the Gate of Life and Death is something they wouldn't even consider.

And now, the Jade-faced Judge has stepped into the Gate of Life and Death.

However, he had no other choice. If he didn't enter the Gate of Life and Death, he would lose his life here. He could only choose this method to save himself. In fact, the former Beigong War God did the same, entering the Gate of Life and Death merely to save his life.

To preserve the last breath, at least there is still a glimmer of hope for a comeback in the future!

However, now Qi Zhishan wants to kill him, but that's impossible anymore.

Qi Zhishan frowned deeply. Although he knew very well that entering the Gate of Life and Death was hardly different from ending oneself, there was still a slight hope. This was what worried him the most. Who knows whether the Jade-faced Judge could come out of the Gate of Life and Death?

Now, they can't kill him, and keeping him would always be a hidden threat. This is really troublesome!

"What should we do now?" Qi Zhishan said in a deep voice. He originally planned to kill the Jade-faced Judge to settle this matter completely. But now, it seems that's not possible.

"The chances of waking up after entering the Gate of Life and Death are very low!" Mahakaya said in a low voice, "However, we can't help but guard against it. Who knows if he'll wake up or not? He's a member of the Ghost Realm and constantly seeks to open the Boundary Point of the Ghost Realm. He cannot be overlooked!"

"Absolutely right!" Qi Zhishan nodded, "But now that he's entered the Gate of Life and Death, with our strength, we can't kill him at all. What should we do?"

Mahakaya pondered for a while, then said, "Perhaps we could seal him up!"

"Seal him?" Qi Zhishan frowned, "With his strength, sealing him isn't an easy task. Moreover, no matter where we seal him, there's the risk of being discovered, which is dangerous."

Mahakaya glanced toward the direction of the underground chamber and said softly, "What if we place him into the Heavenly Road?"

"The Heavenly Road?" Qi Zhishan was initially bewildered, then his eyes brightened, "You mean, throw him into the Heavenly Road? Seal him inside the Heavenly Road?"

"Exactly!" Mahakaya nodded, "The inside of the Heavenly Road is extremely complex. Once thrown in, the likelihood of him returning to the Human World with his strength is exceedingly low. Besides, there are always people guarding the Human World. Even if he truly awakens and finds the Boundary Point of the Human World, he won't be able to return to the Human World. This is the safest method!"

Qi Zhishan nodded continuously, feeling that this method was indeed suitable. Now, throwing the Jade-faced Judge into the Heavenly Road is the best solution. Otherwise, throwing him anywhere else would leave hidden threats, causing concern.

"Or, we could throw his subordinates into the Heavenly Road as well!" Qi Zhishan looked at the Three-eyed Ghost King and others, speaking softly, "Aren't they loyal to the Jade-faced Judge? Let them go into the Heavenly Road and continue pledging their allegiance!"

Among the Three-eyed Ghost King's group, there was some commotion. Most were full of indignation, ready to die fearlessly, while only a few seemed slightly panicked.

Seeing this, Qi Zhishan couldn't help but sigh. The Jade-faced Judge's subordinates were indeed overly loyal to him. Even now, these people remained so dedicated, which was truly remarkable!

"That suggestion is not bad!" Mahakaya nodded, speaking softly, "If we can avoid needless killing, that would be better!"

"I don't want to kill people either!" Qi Zhishan shrugged, "So it's settled, throw them all into the Heavenly Road, once and for all!"

Mahakaya nodded, finalizing the decision.

Qi Zhishan turned around, looking coldly at the Three-eyed Ghost King and others, "Just now, you all heard what I discussed with the master, right? Line up and enter the Heavenly Road soon; remember, behave yourselves, don't make me angry. If you don't go into the Heavenly Road, you'll die in the Human World. So, if you really don't want to go into the Heavenly Road, think carefully whether you'd prefer to die or live on in the Heavenly Road!"

The crowd looked at each other in dismay. The Three-eyed Ghost King gnashed his teeth and roared, "Qi Zhishan, you don't need to threaten us. Following our master, we aren't afraid of anything, so what does the Heavenly Road matter?"

"Exactly, what does the Heavenly Road matter?"

"Let us be near the Heavenly Road, so what?"

"Always follow our master!"

The crowd began to shout one after another, all emotionally stirred, showing great loyalty to the Jade-faced Judge.

There were only a few who kept their heads low, saying nothing, even casting pleading looks at Qi Zhishan, as if intending to seek favor with him.

Qi Zhishan ignored them all. These were the Jade-faced Judge's confidants who knew his plans. There was no chance Qi Zhishan would let them stay in the Human World. Otherwise, if they pretended to submit and later opened the Boundary Point of the Ghost Realm, he couldn't bear the consequences!

Eventually, under the intimidation of Qi Zhishan and Mahakaya, the people had no choice but to enter the stone coffin of the Heavenly Road one after another.

The Jade-faced Judge was also thrown into the Heavenly Road by Qi Zhishan. Once everything was in place, Mahakaya closed the lid of that stone coffin, making it seem as if nothing had ever happened.

The two walked out of the underground chamber, and Mahakaya sealed the chamber again, then looked towards Qi Zhishan, "Mr. Qi, in the coming period, the people from Sandaoshima Yofu might come to Qinghe Academy. I need to continue guarding here. What are your plans?"

"Me?" Qi Zhishan laughed, "Of course I need to find Ge Kaiyang first. The Jade-faced Judge sent him away and left a bead with him in his hand, which is certainly related to opening the Boundary Point of the Ghost Realm. Now that things have reached this point, everything is clear. I must resolve Ge Kaiyang and completely thwart their plan. As long as Ge Kaiyang is alive, he remains a hidden threat and must be dealt with promptly. Otherwise, who knows what he might do in the future!"

"Amitabha Buddha!" Mahakaya softly chanted and clasped his hands together, "Since that is the case, Mr. Qi, take care!"

"Don't worry, now that I've survived, I don't plan to die anytime soon!" Qi Zhishan walked outside, gazing at the night sky overhead, speaking softly, "How can that guy Su hold up all of Huaxia on his own? I've got to go help him!"

Mahakaya chuckled, knowing that Qi Zhishan was referring to Su Yang.
