Tribulation of Myriad Races-Chapter 1401: Sunmoon Character, Heaven Weapon (2)

At the same time.

Everyone outside was alarmed.

"Damn it!"

"Who is it?"

The Invincibles stared at the human encampment in fury. Moge said, "Great Zhou King, is this the work of the humans?"

Great Zhou King replied indifferently, "Which human is capable of this? Tell me."

Over a hundred people had been killed instantly. That was no easy feat.

Great Zhou King continued, "Perhaps they all encountered something dangerous. The Luminous Domain Mansion has always been a dangerous place."

"Nonsense." Moge argued, "If it's really that, why are all the humans fine?"

Great Zhou King said, "Isn't that simple? Perhaps the people inside found a treasure. You guys are targeting the humans so all humans were chased out of the place. And then...all your people died while attempting to harvest the treasure. How is that a surprise?"

"Over a hundred people have died instantly. These Skysoars and Cloudbreaches are no pushovers. It won't be easy for someone on the first level to do something like this. Not even a Sunmoon can do this. It is likely that they have died to the mansion. I can only say that it's not a bad thing to be targeted. Since the humans are disallowed from approaching many of the treasures inside, they will naturally be safe from any disaster that might arise while harvesting those treasures."

Were his words reasonable? Yes. But they were still furious. They couldn't accept this. Why were the humans still fine when so many of their people had died? It hadn't even been a day!

This was the first day! At this rate, wouldn't they lose everyone inside in half a month? That was too terrifying.

Finally, one of them lost patience and said, "Does anyone have a way of contacting those at the higher levels? We need to get them to investigate the lower levels. Or to be precise, the first level. Something is wrong there. We can't allow this to continue. There are at least a thousand people there. If this continues, all of them will die in less than three days."

The people inside were simply dying at too fast a rate. This did not make sense.

Once again, Dao King looked at the ancient city and coldly said, "A regular person can't do this, but someone can. Su Yu, what do you think?"

"..."

Liu Hong had a bizarre expression. Yes. Most people couldn't, but a certain someone was not most people. That was a butcher. But...wasn't that person here? He, Liu Hong, was still faithfully pretending to be that person. How did Dao King come to this conclusion?

With a lazy tone, Liu Hong said, "What do you mean, Dao King?"

Dao King said, "You know what I'm saying. The first level is the stage for those from the younger generation. Even people like Mo Duona won't conduct such a massacre in there. He won't kill even the devils. However, a certain someone is an exception to that. For example, Mayor Su will most definitely not care and kill indiscriminately upon entering. After all, Mayor Su is not one to hold back when killing."

Liu Hong laughed, "Me? You're suspecting me when I'm here? What am I supposed to say here?"

Dao King asked, "Are you really Su Yu?"

At that question, numerous gazes settled on Liu Hong. Was that Su Yu? Was the real Su Yu in the mansion? They couldn't help but feel suspicious. Not even Mo Duona, the number one genius of the Heaven Index, could do this. But Su Yu could.

Was it Su Yu? If it was Su Yu, who was this person?

Liu Hong laughed and said, "Dao King, you sure are trying desperately to frame me. Why are you targeting me repeatedly? Did I desecrate your ancestral tombs or did I sleep with your wife?"

Dao King said, "Leave the city. Nobody will touch you. Leave the city and let us have a closer look at you."

Liu Hong laughed, "Are you dumb? Or do you think I'm dumb? You suspect me? Fine. Come here. Give the city a punch. I'm not Su Yu. I'm fake. Lord Grandstar won't be able to leave since I'm fake. Come on. Give the city a punch. If you lack the courage to even do that, you're a piece of trash. Do you have the guts to do that? If you're too scared, don't you have disciples? Your students? Your subordinates? As the leader of an entire region in the Immortal Realm, don't you have even one useful subordinate? Get them to try. Send some ninth-stage Sunmoons. This is a good opportunity for you. With your weakened position, you need to start watching your back lest one of your subordinates decide to give you a stab on your back."

Dao King ignored the provocation and coldly asked, "Are you scared of coming out?"

"Yes." Liu Hong smiled, "Do you think I'm stupid? I'm a Cloudbreach. Why should I risk myself against you? Come on. Give me a punch. I'm waiting here. Come on. I'm insulting your ancestors. Why are you still scared of me? Are you really an Invincible? You're too useless to be one. Are you not ashamed of calling yourself an Invincible?"

"Hahaha!" Liu Hong roared with laughter and said, "Garbage. If I were really inside, I would definitely kill nobody but your people. I would kill them all. You want to regain your tri-life bodies? Keep dreaming."

"..."

Dao King stared at Liu Hong coldly, but he said nothing. Was this Su Yu? He had no answer to that. However, he only knew that regardless of who this person was, this was a repulsive person. Someone like this should die.

The surrounding Invincibles had odd expressions. Dao King was suspecting Su Yu. But there was clearly a Su Yu here. Alas, not even the daofuse eyes could see clearly through the ancient city.

External appearance meant nothing. Too many people were capable of something as simple as changing their appearance. Nobody was sure. Then again, it did not matter anymore. If this were not Su Yu, the real Su Yu would most definitely be in the mansion. What could they do, then?

Nevertheless, they still wouldn't mind finding out the truth if possible. Some of them were tempted to try.

Su Yu was not the only person in the ancient city. There were quite a lot of residents inside as well. Not long ago, some Sunmoons had also been forced to convert into residents. Perhaps these people could be used to test something.

Before long, someone said, "Ignore this matter for now. I only want to know if there's a way for those at the upper levels to descend."

Someone else said, "The Heavenly Hunt Pavilion should have an answer, right? Is there a way to descend the levels? Or at the very least, is there a way to send a message inside?"

At the very least, they had to notify those on the upper levels of what had happened. Sure, those on the first level were weak. But losing them all would be the same as losing an entire generation. This might set them back by ten or even a hundred years.

Numerous gazes landed on the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion. This time, they had arrived in their palace. However, nobody bothered to attack them.

In truth, some had thought of attacking them after the Heaven Department head left. But right as that thought crossed their minds, a feeling of intense danger descended upon them. At that, they realized that some super expert from the pavilion might be present. Thus, they had ultimately dispelled that thought.

Everyone looked at the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion. As an ancient organization that had explored the Luminous Domain Mansion many times before, they might have an answer.

The Earth Department head's voice rang out, "Message transmission is possible. The Luminous Domain Mansion is incomparably powerful. But the descendants of Eternals can transmit messages through their bloodlines if these descendants are inside. However, the backlash might be serious as this goes against the laws of the mansion."

Backlash.

Everyone had odd expressions upon hearing that. Tiangu had just experienced the backlash of going against the laws not long ago. They were most certainly uninterested in experiencing the same.

"It is also possible to descend from a higher level. That was how it was during the ancient past. After all, those on the higher levels had to manage those on the lower levels, right? However, the passage of time has changed everything. The Luminous Domain Mansion is in a sealed state, and the far higher density of source qi on the higher levels has created a pressure that has shut the downward connections. To ascend, one could move through the special channels. But to descend, one will need to withstand the pressure and open the shut entrances."

"What is the price for that?"

"You only need someone with a powerful body. Otherwise, anyone attempting to descend will be crushed by the pressure."

Understanding dawned on everyone. Sure enough, the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion knew a lot of things.

Surprisingly, they had released this information for free. There were multiple reasons for that. Firstly, they had also lost some people to the mass deaths on the first level. Secondly, the departure of some experts from the higher levels would also reduce the competition they had to face on those levels.

Everyone sank into thought, thinking about what to do.

***

Meanwhile, Su Yu was busy forging pages.

Not far away, Yellow Nine was busy cutting space for him. This wasn't an easy task. Su Yu wouldn't have asked for Hu Xiansheng's help during his weaponsmithing otherwise. The cutting of space would result in a spatial collapse. Any carelessness would kill the person performing the cutting.

Just as Yellow Nine was done cutting the first chunk of space, the powerful spatial collapse pressed down upon her before she could even react. Just as blood started spurting out of her body, she was dragged away by the little furball with a flicker. Behind them, space continued collapsing, destroying everything within the area.

With her heart thumping in fear, she looked at the distant Su Yu. Noting that Su Yu wasn't sparing her even a glance, she accused furiously, "You're trying to kill me!"

That had nearly killed her.

Su Yu replied indifferently, "Not at all. I had simply not expected you to be...so stupid. You grew up with Hollow. He is the best spatial manipulator below the Invincible Realm. I had thought that you would know at least a little about space. However...you know nothing. Just what do you know? Apart from a relatively high cultivation level, what value do you have?"

"You..." Yellow Nine argued, "I have never been good at spatial manipulation. Why didn't you remind me that there would be a spatial collapse? I didn't even get a chance to flee!"

"That's common sense. Do you need a reminder for common sense?"

Just then, Su Yu finished forging a page. He shook his head and said, "Forget it. You're garbage. I only wanted to give you a chance to learn more about the dao of space. But you are useless. I only have myself to blame for overestimating you."

Yellow Nine frowned. She stared at Su Yu without saying anything.

Su Yu did not bother to explain. He was merely trying to temper the pride and arrogance of Yellow Nine. The Liu Family did not need her in her current state. At the very least, she had to learn humility. She must not overestimate her abilities and talent. She must not be arrogant. That was not what the Liu Family needed. That was not acceptable.

Su Yu would let her know how insignificant she was.

With a page in hand, Su Yu soared into the sky and took over the massive machine. He started cutting space himself. While doing so, he said, "You know nothing. You're good for nothing. Cooperating with you, or to be precise, even letting you handle a minor task is a risk. You nearly damaged my machine. This isn't a machine you can afford to lose. Even my teacher, or even a Skysoar like Wu Lan, would have done better than you."

Yellow Nine argued indignantly, "Su Yu! There is no need for you to belittle me like this. Spatial manipulation is not what I specialize in. It's normal for me to be bad at it."

"In that case, what are you good at?"

Slowly, a chunk of space was cut off by Su Yu. The moment the chunk was separated from its surroundings, a large black hole appeared as space started collapsing. As for Su Yu, he was able to withdraw effortlessly.

Yellow Nine gnashed her teeth and said, "I'm a genius! My combat strength is incredible! I can even fight Sunmoons!"

Su Yu sneered, "Sunmoons? Do you think Sunmoons are very impressive? If you truly believe that...I suggest that you forget about returning to the Liu Family."

"I don't intend to return!" Yellow Nine shouted in fury, "I have never thought of returning!"

Su Yu smiled, "Good. I spared you not because you're Yellow Nine. I spared you because of the Liu Family. Thus, you owe the Liu Family a debt of life. Back then, you nearly died because of them. With this, the slate is clean. None of you owes each other anything."

Yellow Nine coldly said, "Su Yu, you're doing all this just to lighten the sin of your teacher. If I'm really a daughter of the Liu Family, the destruction of the Liu Family back then was all due to your teacher. Otherwise, the Liu Family would still be around. You are belittling me, insulting me, and provoking me. All to make me say that Liu Wenyan owes me nothing. Am I right?"

Su Yu remained silent. After a short moment, he laughed, "Yes."

Yellow Nine regained her calm as she said, "Su Yu, answer my question. If I’m really a daughter of the Liu Family, your teacher would be the one who had caused me to lose both my parents when I was an infant. I nearly died myself as well. I wouldn't have survived if it weren’t for my elder. Should I not hold a grudge over that?"

"..."

After a short silence, Su Yu answered, "You should."
