Chapter 1653: Accidental Gain (2)

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

In the blink of an eye, Su Yu appeared near Great Ming's border.

There was a realm entrance there.

The soul devourers were supposed to be the only ones capable of using this entrance. At present, humanity was also guarding the entrance from the inside. However, the guards were quite weak. Su Yu was able to easily open the entrance undetected. While the guards were still immersed in his illusions, he stepped through the portal.

Instantly, he returned to the Allheaven Battlefield.

Nobody was waiting at the other side of the portal. Then again, that was understandable. With the Soul Devourer Realm nearby, only a fool would have the courage to come here. Right after exiting the portal, Su Yu consumed the immortal's sea of willpower with his Mark of Civilization.

As the sea of willpower shattered, numerous memory fragments emerged. Su Yu sent his willpower into the memory fragments, ignoring the resulting phenomenon. The phenomenon of a dead Sunmoon was way too normal in the Allheaven Battlefield. Nobody would care.

As for whether the immortals had a way to discover the death through the Death Realm, Su Yu wasn't too bothered about it. He did not mind the immortals knowing about this. He didn't even mind them exposing his scam. Of course, he would still prefer to leave them clueless.

Before long, he was done checking the memory fragments. With a smile, he returned to the Human Realm.

With Su Yu's current strength and his ability to blink through time, he was able to move rapidly.

In less than ten minutes, he was back inside the Su Residence.

The fake immortal envoy was still waiting inside.

With a wave of Su Yu's hand, a beam of light shot toward his puppet.

Then, the puppet smiled and walked out of the residence. Outside, it made a gesture with his hand, signalling to the hidden observers that everything was fine and Su Yu had agreed to the deal.

As for the hidden observer, there was nothing Su Yu could do since not even the envoy knew who the observer was.

***

Inside, Su Yu shook his head and laughed. The immortals sure were boring.

If they wanted a share of his profits, they should have tried harder, right? At the very least, they had to send an Invincible here, right? He wouldn't be able to kill an Invincible undetected before replacing the Invincible with his puppet.

Why did the immortals send a Sunmoon? Were they so afraid of losing another Invincible to him?

"Hand signals? What a boring trick."

Su Yu curled his lips with disdain. Such a trick would work against others, but not him. Yes, killing would produce a phenomenon. But so what? He only needed to kill outside the Human Realm. What then?

How dumb.

Outside, the puppet took a stroll around the city before stealthily returning to Su Yu. From the envoy's storage ring, Su Yu was able to find a treasure. Something similar to a teleportation door.

The door was meant to serve as the tool to safely deliver their share of the profits out of the Human Realm. They were aware that Su Yu might agree without giving them the chance to leave with the profits. Thus, they had prepared this door as the trump card. They intended to send the profits off right after receiving their share from Su Yu.

"Wow! This seems useful! Unfortunately...what a pity."

Why was it a pity? Because the door wasn't meant to last. It would fall apart after about seven or eight uses. As for the destination behind this door, Su Yu had no idea. It was likely that the destination would still be somewhere inside the Human Realm.

The difficulty of directly transferring things out of the realm was too high. In short, the immortals had most likely made more arrangements in the Human Realm. The envoy was only here to complete the deal. He would then send the profits away. Someone else would be in charge of delivering these profits back to the Immortal Realm.

This was quite a good plan. But they had been too wishful. How would Su Yu agree?

The envoy didn't even know too much about the plan. He did not know about the identity or the location of the person receiving the delivery from him. That was understandable as the immortals were also worried that Su Yu would dig out their entire network through only one person.

They were worried that Su Yu would extract his memories through his blood essence. However, that was no longer necessary for Su Yu. He could simply check the past of his victims through his Mark of Civilization.

Before long, a new group of visitors arrived. The new visitors were also here for the nine-leaf skylotus.

But before they could even speak, Su Yu snorted and said, "Piss off. I don't sell to the subordinate races of the divines."

The Sunmoons waiting outside trembled with fear. None dared to say anything about his refusal.

They were feeling quite helpless about this. Yes, they came from a subordinate race of the divines. But they had not expected Su Yu to not even ask if they were buying the petal for self-use before chasing them off.

Before long, they were gone.

Just then, Su Yu's cold voice rang out in the air, "The immortals, devils, divines, dragons, nethers, and their subordinate races don't need to bother. I won't kill you for coming, but you will only be wasting your time. Also, for the minor races who are acting as the agents of these major races, you might get away with it today. But consider the future consequences before doing anything."

Many minor race experts shivered with fear upon hearing that.

Yes!

What if Su Yu decided to take revenge against them in the future? Nobody suspected that Su Yu was selling fake petals. It was simply impossible.

If Su Yu were really selling fake petals, he wouldn't be so picky about his customers. From how he was limiting the sale and restricting the major races from buying, it was clear that he was selling the real deal.

What would be the point of chasing customers away if this were a scam?

***

Far away.

The five elementals heard Su Yu's words as well. Beside Topsoil Spirit, the elder said in excitement, "He didn't mention the five elemental race! He only mentioned the major races! Is he tacitly agreeing that we can buy more through others?"

Topsoil Spirit had the urge to roll his eyes. Why was his elder so eager to get scammed?

"Sure, Elder. Do what you want."

Topsoil Spirit did not feel like saying more. In any case, he had informed Su Yu of their arrangements. He could only hope that Su Yu wouldn't sell too many to them. Sure, he could always go back on his word and refuse to return their carrier treasures. But that would ruin his own reputation and affect his future cooperation with the five elementals.

***

Visitors continued arriving at the Su Residence.

Even when selling fake products, Su Yu was extremely picky with his customers. Not everyone would get the privilege of being scammed by him. Those who had successfully completed a trade with him would be overjoyed, while those rejected would feel terrible.

However, every single visitor would leave the residence with an incomparably sad expression, as though not a single one had succeeded. The hidden observers around the residence were greatly confused.

As for the immortals, the agreed-upon time to make the first delivery had arrived. The immortals would notice something wrong if the first delivery wasn't made. As Su Yu thought about it, he smiled. This was indeed quite a rigorous plan. However, they had been too stingy about it.

Since they weren't even willing to have some Invincibles do the job, why bother with such a meticulous arrangement?

In the past, he had thought that the immortal race was the sole race who had not planted their spies in the Human Realm as that was the sole race without a sect in the Myriad Race Cult. But clearly, that wasn't the case. They had simply been a lot more low-profile about it. Their people had likely only been planted to gather information, unlike the other races who would also conduct acts of violence within the Human Realm.

It was understandable why the immortals had been able to hide their presence in the Human Realm for so long.

Su Yu took out a carrier treasure, did something to it, and delivered it through the door. He was curious about the arrangements of the immortals in the Human Realm. Just how many experts did the immortals have in the Human Realm?

Instead of leaving his own imprint on the carrier treasure, he left the female furball's imprint instead. If even the female furball's imprint was discovered, it could only mean that the expert on the other side was at least a ninth-degree Eternal. Otherwise, Su Yu would be able to easily locate them.

"Would there be such an expert around?"

As Su Yu thought about it, he laughed with amusement. That was practically impossible. It would be too much of a waste to plant a ninth-degree Eternal as a spy in the Human Realm.

***

At the same time.

Human Realm.

Somewhere unknown, the empty air rippled before splitting apart. Then, a carrier treasure emerged from the opening in the air. The moment it emerged, a nearby expert burned the entire carrier treasure.

A true carrier treasure would be durable enough to withstand such burning.

This method was also useful to erase all imprints left on the carrier treasures, save for the imprints left by a super expert. After a while, the expert stopped the fire and grabbed the carrier treasure. He was currently hiding within a large ancient building.

He was not the only living person in this building. Right as he put the carrier treasure away, someone walked over and asked, "A carrier treasure? Well, this is indeed worth breaking our inactivity once. But still, we need to be careful. Destroy the teleportation door after two or three deliveries."

The newcomer had a powerful aura and a sturdy build, with a head of reddish-purple hair.

The person who had accepted the delivery was someone with a silverish-white hair.

The expert with the silverish-white hair smiled and said, "Don't worry. I'll destroy the door soon. But this is quite surprising. So this whole thing is really a scam. Su Yu. What a brazen fellow."

He laughed again and continued, "I really wish I could leave and take a good look at him. A pity..."

The expert with the reddish-purple hair said, "Your time will come. We have been hiding here for over four hundred years. The Myriad Realms is slowly descending into chaos. The time for us to leave will arrive soon."

"I hope so. My patience is slowly running thin." The expert with the silverish-white hair said, "We have been here for nearly five hundred years. We might have maintained contact with the Immortal Realm, but we have not seen the outside world for so long. Apart from the recent major events, we know nothing about the outside world anymore."

Yes. They had been here for hundreds of years. Hundreds of years ago, the various races had invaded the Human Realm right after a connection formed between the Human Realm and the Allheaven Battlefield. That led to many years of war. Eventually, humanity was able to drive out the invaders. However, humanity had also lost many of its ruins to the invading forces during the period.

As humanity was allied to the immortals during that time, the immortals had taken the opportunity to steal many ruins from humanity. This ruin was one of them. It was well-hidden, allowing the two experts to remain undetected for hundreds of years. Some of the other ruins they occupied had long been taken over by humanity or destroyed by the other invading races.

They had been hiding here, waiting for the perfect opportunity to emerge again. They were quite confident in this ruin. It was hidden well enough that unless one was a Daofuse, one would never be able to find it.
