Chapter 570: Caught Up (3)

After thinking about it, Bloodmoon sneered, "Are you talking about the single character faction? Do they even dare to make a move? This is Great Xia. Are they not afraid of dying after the Xia Family finds out the truth?"

"Heh, unless they can find actual evidence, the Xia Family won't be making a move based on pure suspicion."

Bloodmoon sank into a momentary silence. He then asked, "How many Mountainseas do you have?"

"Three including myself. If you're willing to join us, there will be four of us. There aren't more as some are too far away from Great Xia. Nobody would be hanging around Great Xia for no reason unless they're feeling suicidal. Even now, I'm being very careful. I wouldn't dare to do anything rash in Great Xia."

Bloodmoon sneered. Yes, this person was indeed cautious. After all, even this person in front of him was merely a character projection instead of a real person. It wasn't even a clone.

"How are we supposed to stay in touch?"

"Voice transmission talismans. We will all remain near Su Yu so coverage won't be an issue."

He tossed a talisman over to Bloodmoon. After checking over the talisman, Bloodmoon burned the talisman with a clump of red flame before finally putting it away.

"How should I address you, Brother?"

"Bloodmoon. What's your name?"

"Bloodmoon...what a coincidence since my sect has the word blood in its name as well. You may address me as Blood Rakshasa."

Bloodmoon said nothing. With a sneer, he flew off.

After Bloodmoon left, Blood Rakshasa sank into thought. This was quite suspicious. Why was a blood devourer here? He had never heard about the blood devourers setting up shop in Great Xia before.

"Even the blood devourers are here. This ruin...sure is attractive."

So did Su Yu have a ruin? For many people, the answer to that was a resounding yes. How would he have been able to open his acupoints so easily otherwise?

Opening hundreds of acupoints in a few months? If he had stopped at a hundred or even two hundred, that would still be acceptable. Many other geniuses would be capable of doing so given enough time. But he had opened more than three hundred acupoints. And that had happened in less than six months. Nobody would believe that he had no ruin.

This was very similar to how numerous Invincibles had emerged from the ancient ruins back then. Nowadays, these ancient ruins were becoming increasingly rare as more and more had been discovered and exploited.

Since Su Yu had a ruin in his possession, who wouldn't long to snatch the ruin from him? Even the Xia Family was searching for that ruin.

Nobody knew for sure if the ruin was actually within Nanyuan, but that city had been put under tight security. It would be hard for them to get anything if the ruin was really there. But their chance would come if the ruin was actually outside Nanyuan.

They couldn't resist taking this risk. As long as the ruin was outside Nanyuan, anyone could get a chance to obtain it and the inheritance inside. Or perhaps they could capture Su Yu and gain the knowledge inside Su Yu's head. Perhaps Su Yu knew a lot more than he had let on. It was very likely that the acupoint fusion method had also originated from the ruin.

Su Yu's dao protector had been exposed. He had an unsightly expression, but he remained silent. He waited until everyone was done resting before resuming the journey. With the loss of the majority of their mounts, their speed had dropped significantly.

Suddenly, Su Yu asked, "How did the blood devourer enter the Human Realm? I heard that the Blood Devourer Sect is only active in the north. Great Xia is a southern prefecture. Why is there a blood devourer here? It hasn't even been long since I accepted this mission. And one would need to take a much longer time to reach here from the north."

His gaze landed on Xia Qing. The look in his eyes turned unfriendly. Xia Qing's heart skipped a beat when she saw that. She hurriedly explained, "Brother Su, there is also a possibility that the blood devourer might have been hiding in Great Xia before this."

Su Yu frowned, but he said nothing. Meanwhile, Xia Qing cursed inwardly. Was he suspecting her as the leak? But she knew that she wasn't the leak. Was it the single character faction? That must be it!

If they contacted the northern cultists right after receiving her message, the northern cultists would have enough time to head down south.

Su Yu said nothing else. Leveling accusations against the others was truly a very useful trick to clear any suspicion about him.

Bloodmoon...was one of his three beast protectors. The three were respectively Bloodmoon, Great Mountain, and One-eye. Bloodmoon did not even have a Demon Subduing Ring on him. Would that be sufficient for him to fool the hidden enemies?

Su Yu was unsure, but there was no harm in giving it a try. Even if Bloodmoon was eventually exposed as one of his beast protectors, it wouldn't be a big deal. With Great Mountain exposed and Bloodmoon sent away, he wondered if One-eye had gained anything as well.

***

While Su Yu was thinking about One-eye.

Not far away from them was a valley littered with corpses. But not everyone in the valley was dead. There were some survivors, but they were all kneeling on the ground while trembling with fear.

Standing ahead of them was a frail figure with white hair and a slight slit on his forehead. The slit suddenly opened to reveal an eye. The eye gazed at the crowd as the individual spoke, "All who defy me shall die. Only those who obey me can live."

One-eye coldly said, "How dare pieces of trash like you disobey me? If it wasn't for the fact that the devileye race does not have any presence here, garbage like you wouldn't even be qualified to serve me."

Among the kneeling individuals, one of them fawningly said, "Lord, it would be my honor to serve you! But we are the members of the Divine Blaze Sect. If we betray them..."

"Betray?" One-eyed interrupted, "What about the divine blaze race? What the fuck is the big deal about them? You are all traitors of humanity. Why does it matter which race you serve? Do you think that the divine blaze race would wage a war against the devileye race because of garbage like you?"

With a casual wave of his hand, a pile of valuable natural treasures appeared on the ground. He sneered and said, "This is my reward for you. The devileye race has decided to open a sect in Great Xia. You will be the founding members of this sect. You!"

He pointed at a random Cloudbreach and said, "You shall be the master of this sect. If our mission is successful, I would bestow upon you more rewards."

"Thank you, Lord!"

The Cloudbreach was overjoyed.

As for his betrayal of the Divine Blaze Sect...nonsense. At the end of the day, he was still serving the myriad races. The devileye race was a powerful race, so he definitely wouldn't mind serving them. It didn't even matter who he served as long as his master was generous.

"Don't worry. All of you will be amply rewarded upon the completion of this mission."

One-eye looked at the group and coldly said, "As for those trying to feign obedience before betraying me, I'll kill all of you. Since we still lack manpower, go out there and start recruiting. Since we're starting a sect, manpower is very important."

"Lord!" The newly appointed sect master hurriedly said, "There is a group of people nearby. They have a decent number of Skysoar and Cloudbreach cultivators among them. This is a group led by the traitor of the Blood Fire Sect, Xue'e. They tried recruiting us before, but since Xue'e had offended the Great Xia Cultural Research Academy, we didn't dare to work with him. If you require manpower, I can try to contact him."

"Blood Fire Sect?" One-eye sank into silence momentarily before nodding in agreement, "Sure."

A ray of light shot up from the eye on his forehead and landed on the people before him. After doing that, he said, "If you're confident you can escape or betray me, you are free to give it a try. If you are good enough to survive the Eyeflame of the devileyes, I wouldn't mind sparing you."

They trembled in fear, but none dared to say anything. They could only blame luck for this encounter. At this point, they couldn't even betray this new master of theirs anymore. Whatever. For them, it really didn't matter that much who they served. They only cared about the benefits they could gain.

"Alright. Time for you to get out of my face."

None dared to remain after that. All of them vanished in the dark of the night. As for One-eye, a torrent of fire shot out of his third eye and reduced all the corpses around him into ashes.

"Devileye Sect?"

One-eye smiled. How interesting. He then looked in a certain direction. That crafty brat sure was gutsy. Was he not afraid that they would flee or go into concealment in the Human Realm? Was the brat so sure that they would help him?

"Hong Tan..."

As he muttered that name, he snorted coldly. That was an enemy he wouldn't forgive. And the grandstudent of such an individual was most definitely a scumbag as well. But when he recalled the confidence Su Yu was displaying, he sighed. Forget it. There was no need for him to court death.

All this was merely a farce. The prelude to a slaughter.

The prefect of Great Ming was personally making a move. Thus, beast protectors like them were probably all under the monitoring of that prefect. Since Su Yu was the architect of this entire scheme, would he have no contingencies in the event of their betrayal?

It was very likely that the Xia Family, Wan Tiansheng, and the Zhu Family were all keeping a close watch on them.

One-eye sneered. Those fools. So many of them would die this time. Even if there was a ruin, one needed to be alive to make use of it, right? This was a scheme. Even if there was really a ruin, would Su Yu really take them to the ruin?

"Starfall Mountain..."

That place should be renamed the Land of Death instead. There, they would enter the borders of Great Ming. The Zhu Family would then be free to act. Did those idiots believe that the Zhu Family would remain silent after so many years of silence?

Well...if One-eye was being honest, even he himself didn't think that the Zhu Family would do anything. If Su Yu hadn't reached an agreement with the Zhu Family beforehand, it was very likely that the Zhu Family would really do nothing.

All those fools were too caught up in their own plans.

Great Ming King...After recalling that name, One-eye decided that he should be even more careful. Was it possible that Great Ming King himself was waiting in Great Ming?

If that was the case, One-eye would need to display even more obedience.
