Chapter 1451: Found You! (1)

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Xing Yue had arrived.

Was this good or bad?

Su Yu decided that this was both good and bad. Since the distance between them had grown closer, his death qi connection had been reactivated. That gave Xing Yue the ability to provoke a reaction from the death qi in his body and ruin his disguise.

Then again, her presence would also give him a good reason to reopen his yang acupoint. He could start feeding his yang acupoint with death qi again. However, he was still annoyed. Why was Xing Yue here?

Sigh.

He was both happy and gloomy. She should have arrived when he was done opening his yang acupoint. Why wasn't she present when he needed her for his yang acupoint? Now that he wasn't planning to open his yang acupoint anymore, why was she here?

She sure was bad at timing her arrival. How disappointing.

"Ling Heng, are you scared?" Pan Hu laughed and said, "Don't worry. I sensed the arrival of an immortal king. Skyeater is gone. Things are safe now."

Su Yu sighed, "We have to stay wary. There aren't a lot of ancient race Invincibles in the mansion this time, but a lot of their Pseudo Invincibles are here. None of them is a pushover. Forget it. We can only react accordingly when something does happen. Hopefully, we can gather enough treasures to purchase a carrier treasure soon."

"Yeah." Pan Hu said, "It will be fine. In fact, what we have now should be almost enough combined with the blood reishi."

He looked at Fourth Heaven and asked, "Brother Fourth, is the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion still selling carrier treasures?"

"It's not so easy anymore." Fourth Heaven shook his head and said, "Since the rise of Su Yu, many Invincibles have lost their tri-life bodies. Furthermore, the internal demand for carrier treasures is very strong within the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion as well. The demand is far beyond the supply right now. If we weren't so desperate, the Heaven Department head wouldn't have entered the mansion personally."

Su Yu again! He seemed to be the culprit for everything. And that was the case. After his rise, over thirty Invincibles had lost their tri-life bodies. That was a terrifying number.

Su Yu joined in and scolded himself for a while. Then, he added, "But it's pointless to talk about him here. It's too hard for us to gain a meaningful number of treasures like this. These worthless fools won't have anything good to offer."

He paused before sending Pan Hu a voice transmission, "Senior Brother, we can't continue like this. We need to look for an actual carrier treasure since there is no guarantee that we can buy one even if we can afford it. Since hunting regular people isn't giving us a good return, why don't we start hunting the geniuses in secret? Forget about those from the Heaven Index, but I think we can target those on the Earth, Profound, and Yellow Indexes."

Pan Hu's expression changed. He said, "Junior Brother, this...is too dangerous. Most of these geniuses come from major races. All of them are protected by powerful experts. The difficulty is high. Furthermore, killing them will only draw attention to us."

Su Yu replied, "I know all that, Senior Brother. But we can't continue like this. If Lord Dao King remains weakened, things won't be safe for us even in the Immortal Realm. Don't forget that you're already a seventh-stage Sunmoon yourself."

Once again, Pan Hu's expression changed. Yes. He was already a seventh-stage Sunmoon. Was the seventh stage far from the ninth stage? Not necessarily. Since even Dao King himself was lacking carrier treasures, he could forget about getting one from Dao King.

Pan Hu sank into thought. Fourth Heaven did not know what they were talking about since they were using voice transmissions. However, he suddenly asked, "Are the two of you thinking that we aren't doing enough?"

The two looked at him. Having caught their attention, he smiled, "In truth, the Devote King's residence has the highest number of treasures on this level. Apart from the treasures of the mansion itself, the treasures of the geniuses who all died while exploring the mansion in the past are also waiting in there. I don't dare to promise much, but you can probably find at least ten carrier treasures there after searching through the entire mansion. Of course, you would need to survive the attempt for that to mean something."

"Devote King's residence..." Pan Hu said, "That place is too dangerous for us."

"Yes." Fourth Heaven said, "However, He Tu is here. That makes the Devote King's residence much safer than before. A lot of Invincibles have been forced to leave the residence to keep an eye on He Tu."

Su Yu disagreed, "Forget about the Devote King's residence for now. We're nothing there. And there are still quite a lot of Pseudo Invincibles and Invincibles there. If you ask me, we should find a relatively big residence with more people but fewer experts. Find a chance to enter a slaughter everyone inside. He Tu will not stop trying to come up here. What do you think?"

The other two nodded in agreement. It was unlikely that He Tu would give up.

"When he returns, he will be ready to face the Invincibles here. The Invincibles and Pseudo Invincibles will be kept busy. That will be the best chance for us to slaughter an entire race. That is the only way to maximize our gains."

Su Yu continued, "Forget about the stronger races since the difficulty will be too high. As for the ancient races with Invincibles, we can avoid those with more Invincibles. There is no need to fear those without too many Invincibles. If we can do our job cleanly, it's not like anyone will know it's us. At worst, we only need to hide inside the residence. They won't be able to get in there."

Su Yu said, "If you ask me, the nether and celestial chasm races have quite a lot of people here. They have also gathered a lot of treasures in the mansion. Perhaps..."

The other two looked at him like he was a madman. How crazy. Was he trying to wipe them out?

"They are also hiding inside the ancient residences. It won't be easy for us to enter," said Pan Hu.

Su Yu smiled and said, "Yes, but that might not be the case for Elder Fourth Heaven. We only need to attack from the inside and outside. Don't you have any subordinates from those races, Elder Fourth Heaven. Why don't you get your subordinates to open those residences for us?"

"..."

Fourth Heaven kept his eyes on Su Yu for a long while before saying, "Fellow Daoist Ling Heng, this is truly..."

He didn't even know what to say. Did the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion have spies among the other races? Most definitely. That was especially true for the major races.

This was such a brazen suggestion.

Upon hearing Su Yu's suggestion, Pan Hu was tempted. But Fourth Heaven merely shook his head and said, "That's inappropriate. Even if I do have subordinates from those races, they won't open the residences for us since it's clear we're harboring evil intentions against them."

Su Yu grinned, "You can make up a good excuse for that. Tell them you have a mission, or you have something good for them, or you're simply checking up on them. It will work. Everyone is in fear. It's normal for the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion to take this chance and do some business."

Fourth Heaven said, "You're telling me to sacrifice my subordinates. This isn't appropriate..."

"At worst, you can get sixty percent of the share."

Su Yu said, "Is the value of a few weaklings worth giving up on your potential gains? If this allows you to get a carrier treasure and become a Pseudo Invincible, you will gain more than what these subordinates are worth. Carrier treasures are very rare nowadays, even in the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion. Do you think you can get one internally? The Luminous Domain Mansion is your one and only hope."

After a long silence, Fourth Heaven said, "This is too dangerous..." He looked at Pan Hu and continued, "Also, I need to make one thing clear. We can do this, but all our previous gains will go to me. I'll also be in charge of splitting our subsequent gains. That is the only way to make me feel safe enough to try this. After all, I'm the one making sacrifices here."

Pan Hu sank into thought, but Su Yu agreed decisively, "We accept. Senior Brother, stop thinking about it. Elder Fourth Heaven is afraid that we might turn on him. We don't want that to happen. It's far better to have an extra friend here than an extra enemy. If we turn against each other, all of us will suffer."

Hearing that, Pan Hu clenched his teeth and said, "Fine!"

After making up their mind, the three picked a suitable target and started waiting. When He Tu arrived, they would start their slaughter. Almost all the Sunmoons were roaming all over the level. Only the weaker ones would remain in these residences.

And a rather large number of those hiding in these residences were the various geniuses who had gotten a decent harvest from the mansion. Su Yu wasn't too concerned about their treasures. He only wanted some blood essence and corpses. And those were the things his two companions wouldn’t compete over.

***

While Su Yu was preparing for his slaughter.

Battles were still erupting all over the level. The most intense battles were happening in the Devote King's residence.

The Devote King's residence resembled an ancient city, but it was also different. One prominent difference was the fact that one could kill inside without triggering the appearance of death spirits. That was known to many.

However, one still needed to pay a price for killing. That was part of the laws governing that residence.

Somewhere inside Devote King's residence, Mo Duona frowned and crushed the annoying individual in front of him. Did they believe that he wouldn't have the courage to kill? Why was this person bothering him?

The victim, a divine, died with his eyes wide open. He could not believe that Mo Duona would kill him. He had merely been following Mo Duona around because he believed that he could get more treasures that way.

After all, Mo Duona was blessed by fortune. According to a divine king, this place was similar to ancient cities so people would rarely kill here. Thus, he had the impression that killing here was the same as courting death. Alas, he was mistaken.

With indignation and confusion, he was killed. Instantly, a Sunmoon death spirit appeared. Mo Duona looked around helplessly and took an ancient city medallion out. "Take it."

The death spirit accepted the medallion blankly. However, it remained.

Mo Duona frowned and said, "Don't get too greedy. According to those who were here before, a medallion within the eighteenth ring is sufficient for killing a Mountainsea."

The death spirit continued standing there blankly, but it was starting to show signs of hostility.
