Su Yu said nothing. He was still staring at Great Yuan King with a smile.Great Yuan King felt like Su Yu was wrong in the head. Was the bastard done staring at him? Why was someone so mentally unstable dreaming of becoming the leader? Great Yuan King was starting to suspect that he would be the first to suffer the moment Su Yu became the leader.
Just as that thought crossed his mind, he received a voice transmission from Su Yu, "Do not doubt your judgment. The moment I become the leader of the holy land, you will receive a mission to assassinate Tiangu, Your Majesty."
"..."
Fuck!
Great Yuan King cursed inwardly. What a madman! The bastard was already thinking of ways to abuse his power even when his ascension seemed so unlikely. More importantly, how did that bastard know what he was thinking?
He grew wary. Meanwhile, Su Yu sent another voice transmission, "Don't worry. That's a difficult job so I'll give you enough time. I can spare your life until the end of your time limit."
Finally, Great Yuan King erupted in anger and roared, "Su Yu!"
With a surprised expression, Su Yu asked, speaking out loud as well, "Yes, Your Majesty?"
"What did you just say to me?"
Su Yu chuckled, "What did I say?"
"..."
Shameless!
Great Yuan King was furious. How was he supposed to prove anything when Su Yu had merely been speaking through voice transmissions?
Some of the people in the hall frowned upon seeing Great Yuan King's loss of control. His temper seemed to have grown even worse than before. It was only the start of the conference. Why was he flipping out so soon?
Some were quite worried that this would lead to the emergence of a second Fiery Sea King. This was how Fiery Sea King used to be. He had a terrible temper and was easily angered. Ultimately, his temper had led him toward a path of betrayal.
Great Han King frowned and sent a voice transmission, "Old Yuan, calm down."
Great Yuan King suppressed his anger and stayed silent. He suspected that Su Yu could kill him simply by angering him enough.
Su Yu had a thoughtful look on his face. He suspected that this was either an act or a sign of Great Yuan King's loss of control. Was this why Great Zhou King appointed him as one of the hosts here?
He was too easily angered. Was there a problem with his three bodies? Were these early signs of madness? Just what was Great Zhou King trying to do here? Su Yu was unsure. Was Great Zhou King trying to make him provoke Great Yuan King into madness?
How odd.
Suddenly, a voice rang out in his mind. At that, he looked toward the group from Great Zhou.
The group was led by Zhou Potian, a son of Great Zhou King.
"Mayor Su, you saw it. Great Yuan King is on the verge of losing control. My father intends to...anger him enough and create an opportunity to kill his tri-life body. He is currently against the proposal, but kill his tri-life body and he will calm down. After regaining his clarity, he will regain his true character as someone who admires strength. By defeating him, you will gain his support. And he is the biggest opposition to this proposal. Deal with him and the holy land will naturally be established. He might even serve as your foremost vanguard upon your ascension to the leadership position."
"..."
Su Yu frowned. So Great Yuan King was really on the verge of losing control.
Was this a joke?
Great Zhou King sure had a lot of confidence on him. Also, how did Great Zhou King know that Great Yuan King was on the verge of madness?
How impressive.
"Is he really on the verge of losing control?"
Su Yu's mood turned solemn. This was a seventh-degree Eternal. He could be very dangerous if he were to lose his mind. Once again, the weakness of the Three Body Method was displayed clearly before Su Yu. A top expert like this was on the verge of losing control because of it.
That damn old fox had deliberately sent him here to provoke Great Yuan King, knowing that he had a venomous tongue, when this confrontation could have been easily avoided. Beside Su Yu, Great Han King was stealing glances at Great Yuan King with worry.
The weakness of the Three Body Method could be very dangerous.
But if all three bodies could remain of one mind, it wouldn't be that much of an issue. The scariest part about this method was the possibility of having a certain aspect of one's character greatly magnified, going beyond what the other aspects of one's character could handle.
This was worrying. More importantly, this was also annoying to handle. If one were to tell Great Yuan King that he was on the verge of losing control, Great Yuan King would only grow angrier.
This was also the biggest reason for Fiery Sea King's betrayal.
The worried Great Han King sent Su Yu a voice transmission, "Mayor Su, stop provoking Great Yuan King further. He has encountered some issues in his cultivation. Please be lenient with him."
Many Invincibles shared the same opinion. They only needed to handle him with patience and avoid provoking him too much. After all, they were all old friends.
But Great Zhou King clearly differed in opinion. He believed that a problem must be solved. Since it was rather inappropriate for him to handle this, he decided to let Su Yu do it instead. Perhaps the problem would go away after removing one or two of Great Yuan King's bodies.
That would result in a weakened Great Yuan King, but that was better than having him go mad.
Great Zhou King couldn't do this personally, as that might result in a negative reaction from their fellow old friends. But this wouldn't be an issue for Su Yu.
"Great Zhou King...truly treacherous!"
Su Yu was also quite impressed with how decisive Great Zhou King was. Great Han King and the others had never considered removing Great Yuan King's tri-life bodies even if they knew what was going on. Meanwhile, Great Zhou King was directly taking action to weaken an old friend of his. What a bastard!
At that thought, Su Yu sent Great Yuan King a voice transmission, "Your Majesty, you're on the verge of losing control!"
"Hmph!"
Great Yuan King snorted and glared at Su Yu. Was this guy really picking a fight with him?
Su Yu sighed. Sure enough, someone on the verge of losing control would have zero self-awareness. He was still clueless about his condition.
Meanwhile, the others in the hall were still busy discussing among themselves. Should they really establish this holy land? That was the same as shackling themselves. But they also knew that humanity was in dire straits. Some sort of unification was required. Thus, voice transmissions continued flying back and forth in the hall.
Marquis Xia was in no rush. He sat there with a smile as he waited for them to discuss among themselves. This was a major matter. It was only natural for them to be so cautious. As for Su Yu, he was wondering if he should continue provoking Great Yuan King. More importantly, could he defeat Great Yuan King?
Without the Heaven Gate and a way to seal Great Yuan King's power of laws, the difficulty would be quite high. But opening the Heaven Gate at his current state could easily open a death tunnel in the Human Realm.
Additionally...
Suddenly, Su Yu thought of something. He narrowed his eyes and looked outside. Great Zhou King. Was Great Zhou King so certain that he would follow the plan?
Provoking Great Yuan King, triggering a battle, and luring him toward the formation Great Ming King and the others were working on. This would serve as a way to also test some other Invincibles.
Is that it?
He greatly suspected that this was Great Zhou King's actual plan. That old fox had taken everything into consideration.
Great Yuan King would go crazy and try to kill Su Yu. Naturally, Su Yu would defend himself. The other humans would hesitate to interfere. They didn't want to hurt Great Yuan King, but they couldn't hurt Su Yu either. Thus, they would most likely help suppress Great Yuan King and prevent Su Yu's death. Su Yu could take this opportunity to kill a body or two of Great Yuan King. The others would be a lot more understanding about that since Great Yuan King had already lost control.
Fuck! Is all this a part of your plan?
Su Yu cursed.
In short, both he and Great Yuan King were the chess pieces of Great Zhou King. What a decisive and ruthless old man. Also, this could also be a great opportunity for Su Yu to showcase his strength to humanity. Sure, most humans knew he was strong, but he had never fought any human Invincibles before. Thus, most did not have a clear concept of how strong he was.
Yes, yes. He had killed Blood Fire Devil King. But that wasn't a name most humans were familiar with.
Was Blood Fire Devil King stronger than their very own Great Yuan King?
Many did not have a clear answer to that.
But upon defeating Great Yuan King, the whole of humanity would come to understand just how strong Su Yu was.
Old fox, I know your plan now!
Su Yu snorted inwardly in annoyance. Sure enough, the Human Realm wasn't a good place for him.
He had just returned, yet he had fallen into a series of schemes formulated by that old fox. It was likely that the old fox had been thinking of a way to handle Great Yuan King's slow descent into madness. And Su Yu's arrival presented him with the perfect opportunity to get it handled.
Unfortunately, Su Yu had to keep going along with the plan even after figuring out the truth. He had to agree that Great Zhou King's plan could very well be the best way to go about this. This single plan could solve multiple issues at once.
At that conclusion, Su Yu sent another voice transmission to Great Yuan King, "Great Yuan King, will you turn into the next Fiery Sea King? I can see that you are nearly crazy. By the way, as the holy land leader, I'll kill you if you dare to betray humanity."
Once again, Great Yuan King raged. Slowly but surely, his anger accumulated. He wanted to ignore Su Yu. But he was also very furious. He had never liked Su Yu. That was the bastard who had nearly caused his Great Yuan a massive loss.
Thus, he couldn't accept having that bastard as his leader.
"Great Yuan King, was Yuan Qingdong your grandson? He was such a bad guy. He insisted on causing trouble for me right until his death. Did he learn from you?"
Great Yuan King's aura started rippling.
His killing intent surged.
***
At the same time.
Outside the hall.
Great Xia King suddenly looked behind him and frowned. "Old Zhou, isn't Old Yuan's anger a bit too excessive? If he's opposed to this, so be it. The conference has barely started, yet it feels like his anger is already high enough to kill."
Great Zhou King laughed it off, "It's not like you don't know his temper."
Great Xia King said, "We still need to be careful. The elites of the various prefectures are in there with him. Su Yu is there as well. Things can get very troublesome if he loses control over himself with all those people there."
Great Zhou King chuckled and said, "Fine. I'll get Old Liu to keep an eye on things. As for Old Yuan...the weakness of the Three Body Method is clear for all to see. Unfortunately, this is the only path."
Great Xia King nodded.
After a short pause, he said, "Remind Su Yu as well. Tell him to stop provoking that fellow. This might get really troublesome."
"I understand." Great Zhou King said, "Don't worry. Old Liu is there. Everything will be fine."
"Yeah."
Great Xia King said nothing else, but he started paying more attention.
***
At the same time.
Su Yu was still sending voice transmissions to Great Yuan King, "Your Majesty, when I become the leader, I'll appoint you as the chief vanguard. What do you think? You can charge at the very front during a war. It's such a cool position. You'll look very handsome doing that."
"Hmph!"
Great Yuan King looked at Su Yu frostily; his killing intent continued to surge.
Bastard!
Who did this bastard think he was? How dare he provoke a powerful founding king repeatedly?
When Great Yuan was founded to save countless lives, the grandfather of his grandfather wasn't even born yet! Great Yuan King vowed not to allow the bastard to become the leader of the holy land.
And just like that, a new thought emerged in Great Yuan King's mind. Kill Su Yu. Kill that annoying bastard. Everything would end with the death of that bastard. As for those guardians, what could they do?
Would they declare war against humanity for someone who was no longer around? Back during the first epoch, they had all withdrawn after He Tu's death. The same would happen this time.
Normally, he would remain wary of the potential consequences. But his anger had erased his reason. Su Yu was too annoying.
He would not accept such a leader.
"Su Yu, stop provoking me or suffer a painful death."
That was Great Yuan King's voice transmission. Su Yu inhaled in shock. Holy shit! Was this guy so easily angered? He could see that Great Yuan King was thinking of killing him for real now.
"Lord Flat, please keep an eye on him for me. Save me when I'm really in danger."
"Sure."
Su Yu felt a lot more comfortable with the female furball's assurance.
Thus, he continued with his provocation, "A painful death? Not even Tiangu could kill me. You? Great Yuan King, are you dreaming? Is this a joke? I am an overlord whose influence spreads across the Myriad Realms. Who are you? A mere founding king of the humans. You are nothing before me."
Great Yuan King's fury continued to rise.
Right at that moment, Zhou Potian laughed and said, "In principle, our king agrees. After all, the establishment of a new holy land will help with the unification of humanity."
That further provoked Great Yuan King. Was Great Zhou King supportive of this proposal as well? This was unacceptable!
He had to kill Su Yu. He would prevent the new holy land from being established. He had to make it so that Su Yu wouldn't be around to become the leader even if the holy land was established.
As those thoughts raged in his mind, he received even more voice transmissions from Su Yu.
Great Yuan King's eyes burned with anger. He must kill this little bastard!
Just then, Great Han King noticed Great Yuan King's eyes. He exclaimed in alarm, Old Yuan, what are you doing?"
His sudden shout merely served to further stoke Great Yuan King's anger. Sure enough, everyone was supportive of Su Yu! All of them had been fooled by Su Yu! This couldn't be allowed to happen!
Great Han King's sudden shout also attracted the attention of everyone in the hall. When they looked up at the seats of honor, they were greeted with the sight of Great Yuan King sending an incredibly powerful palm attack at Su Yu.
The various Invincibles were alarmed.
Great Yuan King...had gone mad!
He was trying to kill Su Yu!
This would cause a massive disaster!
This was very bad.
Su Yu's death would provoke the guardians, and the consequences of that would be unimaginable.
Qin Zhen roared, "You dare?"
Great Yuan King had gone mad!
How dare he attack Su Yu openly like this?
Su Yu's expression merely changed slightly as he threw a punch out with a snort, "Great Yuan King, you are indeed harboring evil intentions."
Boom!
The two attacks clashed, resulting in a massive explosion and numerous shockwaves. The hall collapsed instantly. The various Invincibles hurriedly retreated with the weaker participants of the conference.
As for Great Han King, he was trying his best to prevent the damage from spreading. A battle between these two could create massive collateral damage.
Su Yu's furious voice rang out in the air, "Great Yuan King, to kill me, you must first measure your own strength!"
Far away, Great Xia King's expression changed drastically.
Damn it!
It really happened!
He had been worried about this, and the worst had indeed happened. Did that bastard not have a brain?
***
Even further away, the myriad race visitors were alarmed as well.
Holy shit!
None of them had seen this coming.
So, whose spy was this Great Yuan King?
Just look at how hard he was trying to kill Su Yu!
