Chapter 2717: Guardian Gods Retreat
The crowd looked at the Heavenly Sect in astonishment, why was there no need to hide now?
The Heavenly Sect looked at Su Yang and said, "With you in the Human Clan, whether I hide my identity or not makes no difference at all!"
Whether they were the Guardian Gods or the Heavenly Warriors, all looked at Su Yang in shock. That statement from the Heavenly Sect certainly placed Su Yang on a high pedestal.
"Lord Heavenly Sect, there’s no need to praise me like that!" Su Yang said softly, "The grand battle with the Guardian Gods is a matter for all of us in the Human Clan, it’s the credit of the entire Human Clan. Without the sacrifices of our predecessors, there would be no current us. Without our joint efforts, could I alone resist the Guardian Gods? I merely moved my lips in the end, whereas all the strong ones of our Human Clan fought bravely at the forefront. Unlike the Guardian Gods, Lord Heavenly Sect led by example, yet fought to this point without a scratch, heh, Lord Heavenly Sect is indeed wise!"
With Su Yang’s words, the expression of the Heavenly Sect changed.
Just as Su Yang mentioned earlier, the Heavenly Sect’s act of praising Su Yang was essentially a form of flattery that could annihilate Su Yang. By deliberately elevating Su Yang’s position, it simultaneously degraded the positions of other Heavenly Warriors.
He knew that the Heavenly Warriors might not be entirely convinced about Su Yang, a junior, handling the affairs of the Human Clan. His intention was to sow discord between Su Yang and these Heavenly Warriors.
In the end, Su Yang’s words not only easily resolved the issue but also turned the spotlight back on the Heavenly Sect himself.
The ongoing battle had reached a point where the Heavenly Sect remained unscathed, suggesting that he must have been slacking during the fight. Consequently, how would these Guardian Gods view the Heavenly Sect now?
In fact, that was precisely the case.
The Heavenly Warriors, after hearing Su Yang’s words, felt much more at ease and their gazes towards Su Yang softened considerably.
Meanwhile, the Guardian Gods all looked at the Heavenly Sect, since the fact he was unharmed was undeniable.
"Cough, cough..." The Heavenly Sect lightly coughed to change the topic: "Su Alliance Leader, we’ve already attacked to the doorstep of the Nine Realms. Do you think you can make us retreat with just a few words, is that realistic?"
"This isn’t about what’s realistic..." Su Yang smiled faintly, "Since you’ve shown up, even if I said nothing, you would certainly retreat!"
"So confident?" The Heavenly Sect frowned.
"It’s not about my confidence, it’s about your lack of confidence!" Su Yang said, "Because, you are not sure whether what I say is true or false. So, now it depends on whether you have confidence. Will you fight through to the Nine Realms or believe in my words?"
The Heavenly Sect frowned at Su Yang, remaining silent for a long time, eventually gritting his teeth: "Su Alliance Leader, our retreat this time doesn’t mean this matter is over. The next time we attack, you won’t have any chance!"
"Who can predict next time?" Su Yang smiled faintly, "Lord Heavenly Sect, I won’t be seeing you off!"
The Heavenly Sect gritting his teeth, although reluctant, waved his hand: "Retreat!"
"Lord Heavenly Sect!" a Guardian God urgently called out, "We’ve already fought to the Nine Realms, isn’t retreating now too wasteful?"
"If what he said is true and disrupts the Strongest’s deployment, can you bear that responsibility?" The Heavenly Sect said angrily.
"This..." The Guardian God was momentarily speechless, and the others who had intended to persuade the Heavenly Sect immediately closed their mouths.
As the Heavenly Sect had said, no one could shoulder this responsibility!
"Let’s go!" The Heavenly Sect roared angrily and left first.
The others glanced at Su Yang with anger, but ultimately obediently followed the Heavenly Sect and left.
On the side of the Human Clan, those Heavenly Warriors guarding outside the Nine Realms, upon seeing the Guardian Gods retreating, all breathed a sigh of relief.
If the battle continued, they would surely face certain death. Moreover, if all the Human Clan’s Heavenly Warriors died in battle, no one would be able to activate reincarnation, no one would be able to let them be reborn, and that would be troublesome.
Now that the Guardian Gods had retreated, the battle had concluded, and they finally had a moment to relax.
Considering all, in this battle the Human Clan can be considered as having narrowly won!
The gazes the people cast at Su Yang were filled with admiration.
If this battle continued in the normal way, the Guardian Gods would have fought with all they had, and the Human Clan wouldn’t have had any chance, and the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet might have been snatched away.
In the end, it was Su Yang who turned the tides, leading people to the Guardian Land, shattering the array there, thus reversing the battle situation. Otherwise, continuing in this manner, the Human Clan would have surely lost!
"Su Alliance Leader, did the Strongest have us guard the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet for this very reason?" a Heavenly Warrior asked in surprise.
Su Yang shrugged: "I don’t know either!"
"Huh?" Everyone was taken aback, you just spoke so convincingly, yet you don’t know yourself?
"We don’t know, and neither do they." Su Yang said, "Don’t overestimate those Guardian Gods, even that Heavenly Venerable doesn’t know what our Strongest is planning, so how could the Guardian Gods know? Therefore, in many matters, we need to be bold in speculating and in bluffing. If they believe it, then we’ve succeeded!"
"How did you know the Heavenly Sect would believe it?" asked another curiously.
"Because he is the Heavenly Sect!" Su Yang responded leisurely, "I’ve studied this person’s character traits, knowing that he is naturally suspicious, and focuses on stability in doing things, avoiding risks. Therefore, if he perceives danger, he will certainly think carefully and choose the most stable method in the end."
"This battle with the Human Clan has already made them understand that a full-scale assault can completely crush the Human Clan. Thus, even if they retreat this time, they lose only this opportunity. But the next time they make a comeback, they will still have this opportunity. Moreover, they certainly won’t let me easily approach the Guardian Land next time, which would be safest for them. Therefore, this method won’t work the next time!"
"I see!" Everyone realized in awe, this situation was quite unexpected for them.
"If they come attacking next time, wouldn’t we have no way to resist?" a Heavenly Warrior asked.
Su Yang smiled, "In my previous world, there was a saying, ’When the car reaches the mountain, there must be a road.’ The method that the Heavenly Sect thinks safest might not really be so. Sometimes, things depend on the current situation of the battle to decide. Moreover, after this battle, they need at least a hundred years to recuperate. Meaning, after this battle, we’ve already guarded the Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet for over six hundred years. If we hold it for another four hundred years, it’s a victory for us!"
