The standoff between the Heavenly Court and Paradise hassted for several days, but there hasn''t been any substantial progress. Both sides have mostly been exchanging verbal attacks, without any signs of battle starting.


    Beigong War God spected that Paradise was just putting on a show. Their strength is inferior to that of the Heavenly Court, so it''s unlikely they would start the war so soon!


    Su Yang''s thoughts were actually the same as Beigong War God''s spection.


    In fact, Paradise had long wanted to confront the Heavenly Court, but because Ye Sword Saint, while guarding the overseas areas previously, killed many overseas practitioners, causing them heavy losses. So now, although the strength of Paradise is slightly stronger than the Four Major ns, it is still limited. If they were truly to start a fight, even if Paradise could defeat the Four Major ns, it would be at a great cost.


    Therefore, if Paradise intends to start a war, they must make ample preparations to be able to easily defeat the Four Major ns.


    Paradise has been anxious to find Su Yang because they want to obtain the Heavenly Destiny Treasure Book and Alchemy Method from Su Yang to enhance their strength.


    This time, even if the two sides have started fighting, and people from the Four Major ns have stepped into the territory of Paradise, Paradise would still choose to endure silently, at most just making a fewints without starting a war, as they still haven''t prepared fully.


    However, Su Yang would not just let it go. What he wants is for the Heavenly Court and Paradise to engage in direct battle, rather than just throwing barbs from a distance.


    After organizing all the information, Su Yang didn''t reply to Lv Donglin but quietly left the forest.


    Finding another hidden ce to hide, Su Yang summoned Small ck. After exining some things to him and giving him several bottles of elixir pills, Su Yang quietly left the southern area of Paradise, disguising his identity and heading towards Capital City.


    Small ck hid in the vicinity for about a day. After receiving Su Yang''s message, he took a few elixir pills and then deliberately hit himself heavily several times, leaving himself seriously injured. Afterward, Small ck staggered out of the woods and headed straight to a nearby city.


    The city where Small ck was heading was the one guarded by Ghost Tomb, and he was heading directly to the vi where Ghost Tomb resided.


    Upon reaching the vi, Small ck encountered some resistance. Those stopping him were Ghost Tomb''s subordinates. However, upon hearing that he was Su Yang''s disciple, these people were astonished and dared not obstruct him. They hurriedly led Small ck into the inner chamber and sent someone to find Ghost Tomb.


    Last time, Sandaoshima Yofu failed to meet Su Yang, and he was furious, reprimanding Ghost Tomb to keep a close watch on Su Yang''s movements.


    After Ghost Tomb returned, he dared not be careless and instructed his subordinates several times. Any news concerning Su Yang should be reported immediately.


    Now that Su Yang''s disciple had arrived, these people naturally dared not dy.


    Ghost Tomb was handling matters in the city at the time, and when he received the message, he immediately rushed back.


    Seeing Small ck sitting in the living room from afar, Ghost Tomb was taken aback. He had seen Small ck before, naturally knowing that this was Su Yang''s disciple. Moreover, he knew that Small ck''s strength was significant. Yet, now Small ck appeared frail and heavily injured, what was going on?


    "Mr. ck..." Ghost Tomb entered the living room and was about to speak when Small ck stood up directly.


    "Mr. Ghost Tomb..." Small ck staggered a step towards Ghost Tomb, saying in a trembling voice, "Quick... quickly, save my master..."


    Small ck was severely injured, and just saying these words seemed to use up all his energy.


    Ghost Tomb hurriedly supported Small ck, eximing, "What happened? Don''t worry, take your time. What happened to your master?"


    "My... my master was captured by people from the Four Major ns..." Small ck gasped for breath, then fumbled out a porcin bottle, poured a few pills into his mouth, and after consuming them, his injuries improved significantly, and he could speak more fluently.


    "Last time, my master discussed cooperation with you and arranged a meeting location. But when my master arrived there, he was ambushed by the Four Major ns." Small ck said in a low voice, "The Four Major nsunched a full assault on my master. At that time, I was outside helping my master watch for any approaching people, so I didn''t get close. However, the Four Major ns had two Land Immortals who discovered and chased me, leaving me gravely injured. My master, concerned for my safety, used all his strength to send me away, but... but he himself was captured by the Four Major ns..."


    Ghost Tomb widened his eyes. Last time, the Paradise side, after several discussions, had thought it was a trap by Su Yang. The Four Major ns hadn''t captured Su Yang; it was all part of Su Yang''s ploy to lure them into a sh with the people of the Four Major ns.


    But unexpectedly, now Small ck came and said that the Four Major ns had indeed captured Su Yang. Does that mean that everything before wasn''t a trap, and all along, it was the Four Major ns deceiving them?


    But the question is, who should they believe about this matter?


    Ghost Tomb pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Is this the y your master set up for you?"


    "Ah?" Small ck was startled, bewilderedly asking, "What... what y?"


    "Toe here and trick us, saying that the Four Major ns captured him, wanting us in Paradise to demand his release from the Four Major ns, and ultimately lead to a full-scale war between us and the Four Major ns, while you reap the benefits!" Ghost Tomb said coldly, "The n is good, but the problem is, this n would only work on fools. We''re not fools, and neither are the Four Major ns; this kind of n won''t work on us!"


    Small ck still had a bewildered look, staring dumbfoundedly at Ghost Tomb: "You... what are you talking about?"


    "Still pretending not to understand?" Ghost Tomb''s face turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Even now, you still wish to struggle? Don''t you have any sense of your own conspiracy? Last time Su Yang set up a trap, deliberately tricking us and the people of the Four Major ns, leading to a sh between us. Doesn''t he think that''s enough, and now he wants to provoke a full-scale war between us and the Four Major ns? Hmph, this Su, does he really think he can y us and the Four Major ns at his whim?"


    Small ck widened his eyes, staring straight at Ghost Tomb: "You... you think my master is deceiving you?"


    "This isn''t a thought, this is a fact!" Ghost Tomb said coldly, "Not just your master, but you too, everything you are saying now is meant to deceive me. It''s just that this kind of deceit may work once, but using it a second time, it won''t work. Sure, your master is indeed a very clever person, but he can''t think that everyone else in the world is a fool!"
