Chapter 2191: Surging Fortune (1)

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

"Time to run."

Noticing that Heavenbridge Marquis was still looking behind them, Su Yu gave him a reminder. Why was this guy still looking at them? Was he dreaming of eating the actual Hell Gate?

All in all, the conflict had been a success for them. As for the fact that the matron dragon would be out soon, so what? An additional Master of Law out here wouldn't do much. A bunch of Venerables had died today. That was enough.

More importantly, Su Yu had also exposed Hundred Battle King before the other factions. Yes, Hundred Battle King had not acted against Su Yu. But Su Yu hated it when people hid in the shadows and plotted while he was fighting. How could he allow someone to sweep in and reap the benefits after all his hard work?

"Your Majesty, are we not killing Yu Qing and Yue Zhan?"

"Kill my ass. Everyone ran off. How am I supposed to kill those two?"

Su Yu cursed. His gaze landed on the distant Thunderstorm, who was still running in Tiangu's direction. Realizing what Thunderstorm was thinking, Su Yu chuckled. Clearly, Thunderstorm was unwilling to give up on his fellow giants in the Upper Realm.

As for whether Tiangu would act against Thunderstorm after this, well, that was none of Su Yu's business.

Heavenly Fate Marquis was just about to leave with Su Yu when Su Yu transmitted, "Stop following me. Go to the Human Mountain and stay with the myriad races. Tiangu and the others won't have the guts to touch you. Take Lan Tian with you and gather information for me."

A clone of Lan Tian flew out and landed on Heavenly Fate Marquis' body. After a short thought, Heavenly Fate Marquis nodded and turned around to fly in Thunderstorm's direction.

***

Noticing Heavenly Fate Marquis' approach, Thunderstorm's expression changed. He transmitted, "Are you...returning to the Human Mountain?"

How brazen.

Heavenly Fate smiled. "If you're not scared, why should I be scared?"

The myriad races would no longer dare to act against Heavenly Fate Marquis rashly. The same applied to Thunderstorm. After attacking Control King's lineage, they couldn't afford to provoke Su Yu's faction and Hundred Battle King's faction. That would spell their doom. They could only accept it even if they knew that these two were among them as spies.

Thunderstorm was left completely speechless. Everything had been a mess, yet numerous secrets had been exposed. Things were a lot clearer now. Hundred Battle King had yet to even emerge from his hiding before Su Yu exposed him. Su Yu. A scumbag through and through!

Tiangu and the others weren't moving too quickly since they were leading a group of Daofuses. Before long, Thunderstorm and Heavenly Fate Marquis caught up. Upon sensing their approach, Tiangu's expression changed.

The injured Venerable Desolate looked at the two with an unsightly expression and said, "Why are they here?"

Damn it! Those two were clearly spies! How dare they stick around after they were exposed?

Heavenly Fate Marquis laughed and said, "Fellow Daoist Desolate, this is a question for Thunderstorm. Not me. I have never betrayed anyone. As for Thunderstorm...well, you never know."

Venerable Desolate cursed inwardly. As far as he was concerned, the two were the same! Why was this bastard pretending to be all innocent?

However, Su Yu's group had yet to go far. Su Yu had produced five Venerables in a row. Including Heavenly Fate Marquis, he would have six Venerables on his side. Thus, Venerable Desolate did not dare to go against Heavenly Fate Marquis right now.

Thunderstorm, on the other hand, was a different story. Hundred Battle King was not here. Thus, Venerable Desolate directed his anger toward Thunderstorm. "Thunderstorm, how dare you return to us!"

Thunderstorm was rendered speechless. Why was this guy shouting at him? He hadn't done anything!

He said, "My people are all on the Myriad Race Mountain. It is only natural that I return. Also, did I do anything wrong? I'm not a devil. I'm not colluding with Control King's lineage. I fought hard in the battle earlier. I killed many enemies. Desolate, who are you to pick a fight with me?"

Venerable Desolate was infuriated.

Just then, Tiangu said, "Enough."

He said, "No talking. We need to return and build up our defenses. We lost some heavenly kings and Daofuses during the previous battle, but as a whole, this is not a loss for us. In fact, this is a good result for us."

Su Yu had benefited massively, but the myriad races had not suffered a loss either. Yes, many of their Daofuses and heavenly kings died.

However, the devils had been exposed as enemies. Thunderstorm and Heavenly Fate Marquis had been exposed as spies. Control King's lineage had lost a lot of powerhouses. A large number of chaos beasts had died. Hundred Battle King had also been exposed.

All those were beneficial to the myriad races. In any case, they hadn't lost any Venerable in the battle. Many of their Venerables were injured, but all of them were alive.

There were four immortals, three divines, one dragon, one phoenix, and one nether among them. Ten Venerables were a considerable number. As for Thunderstorm and Heavenly Fate Marquis, Tiangu decided that he would ignore them moving forward.

Of the ten Venerables, Sacred Marquis, Corona, and Consort Emeritus were incredibly powerful. They were strong enough to handle even the matron dragon. In the short term, they could still stand firmly in the Upper Realm.

Tiangu considered the big picture. At present, things were getting clearer and clearer. Humanity was split into three opposing factions. The myriad races formed the fourth faction. As for the chaos dragon and eight-winged tiger, the two were unaffiliated cultivators like Martial Emperor and Death Imperator.

There were only four major factions around. With ten Venerables, the myriad races were still considered a major faction. As for Venerable Scrape, who had escaped earlier, he had probably gone to the Human Mountain in advance to collect all the devils there. It was likely that he would regroup with Control King's lineage soon.

The devils had joined Control King's lineage out of nowhere. As a result, their Purple Cloud Marquis died before she could even do anything. Her death had been so sad that even Tiangu couldn't resist pitying her.

How foolish. The devils knew that Su Yu was present, yet they still dared to do something so risky. If Mo Ji were the one taking charge of the devils, he would definitely not allow them to do that so soon. Unfortunately for the devils, Mo Ji wasn't the one in charge.

Su Yu was too abnormal. Even now, he had yet to fully reveal his strength. Yue Hao and the matron dragon projection had died way too quickly to him. It was inconceivable. Su Yu's strength was not as it seemed. Tiangu suspected that Su Yu could even put up a fight against Yu Qing alone if he tried hard enough. Before long, they arrived at the Human Mountain.

Sure enough, the devils were nowhere to be found. The moment they arrived, someone reported, "Lords, Venerable Scrape of the devils returned earlier and took all the devils away. We couldn't stop him..."

Tiangu waved his hand and said nothing.

Venerable Scrape did not dare to conduct mass slaughter while the rest of them were away. That would only turn everyone against the devils.

"Seal the mountain." Tiangu ordered, "Activate the mountain sealing formation. From now on, nobody is allowed to leave. All Venerables are to start their recovery. If you're not injured, gather at the Myriad Race Hall for a meeting."

Many Venerables were injured. Of the immortals, Sacred Source Marquis and Venerable Desolate were heavily injured. The same could be said for Venerable Moon and the Consort Emeritus. Even Venerable Dragon was injured. This might be a chance.

Tiangu sank into thought. Perhaps...he could take this chance to unify the myriad races. They still lacked a Master of Law, but they could to rise rapidly the moment the restriction was broken.

Things were still salvageable. In fact, the presence of Heavenly Fate Marquis and Thunderstorm might not be a bad thing for them.

They were essentially the envoys of Hundred Battle King and Su Yu. A pity that Venerable Scrape had left, or he could have stayed as an envoy of Control King's lineage as well. At that thought, Tiangu chuckled in a self-mocking manner. It would seem like their camp was filled with spies.

Tossing the matter out of his mind, he flew toward the peak of the mountain with the others. It was time to discuss their future plans.

***

At the same time.

Su Yu's group continued flying rapidly. Suddenly, a clone of Lan Tian appeared and said, "Your Majesty, Yue Luo and Yue Xiao will be passing through our world soon. Do we move against them?"

Su Yu gave it some thought and said, "No. But you can expose Tea Plant's existence if you can do it without incurring suspicion. They won't be in the mood to go treasure hunting right now, but they might return after things are stable."

He did not know if Zhou Ji was aware of his creation. If Zhou Ji was unaware, perhaps this would be his chance to set Yue Luo up. If Zhou Ji was already aware, so be it.

Lan Tian passed the order on. After a while, a broken piece of floating land appeared before Su Yu. The ground split, allowing Su Yu and his group to enter.

***

The moment Su Yu entered, he sensed something different.

Grand Dream.

Yes. Grand Dream was present, and the old turtle was releasing his aura. When he saw Su Yu, he exclaimed in excitement, "Your Majesty, this old subject has broken through!"

Su Yu smiled and nodded, "Very good."

He had truly profited greatly from the recent conflict.

Grand Dream and Heavenbridge had both broken through. This was worthy of a celebration. Furthermore, he had also collected numerous Daofuse corpses and some heavenly king corpses. He even had a few Venerable corpses on him. This corpse could be used to further complete his world.

Shortly after, Great Zhou King and the others arrived.

Wan Tiansheng said, "Earlier, Yue Luo and Yue Xiao passed through our territory. However, they didn't approach. We didn't attack either."

Su Yu nodded. "There is no rush. Killing them now might cross Hundred Battle's line. If Hundred Battle is unaware of this world, we might be able to take this chance to set up a major trap."

He continued, "Let's put this matter aside. I'll first fuse my gains with this world. I believe this world will undergo an evolution soon. Everyone, you are invited to observe the process."

He had stripped the daos of several Venerables and many Daofuses. He had profited massively. As for the myriad races, well, they had probably profited slightly. That should be the case since they had not lost any Venerable. Daofuses did not matter much anymore. He moved to the end of the world. That was where the human lord's token was stored.

Everyone followed him. Heavendoom was among them, and he said with envy, "Your Majesty, when are you taking us out for a fight as well? Even Heavenbridge managed to grow into a Venerable after a trip outside."

Everyone who was part of Su Yu's entourage would benefit each time they went out on an operation. Thus, everyone wanted to go with him. Sure, those staying behind would still benefit from Su Yu's victories, but those actually fighting alongside him would be the ones to gain major benefits.

Heavenbridge flashed a shifty smile and said, "There is no rush, Heavendoom. I might be a Venerable, but it's no big deal. Don't be jealous. I will only grow stronger after this. Keh keh keh keh!"

He cackled like some bottom-tier villain. This felt great! He still had quite a number of gates to digest. By the time he was done digesting them, he would grow even stronger. This, Heavendoom would grow even more jealous of him in the future. Heavendoom's face turned green from fury. Damn it!

Su Yu laughed with amusement. At that moment, Great Zhou King asked, "Your Majesty, is a second Master of Law going to emerge?"

Su Yu nodded, "Possibly. I believe the matron dragon will be out soon."

Great Zhou King's expression changed as he said, "With the matron dragon, they will have two real Masters of Laws on their side. That matron dragon is not to be underestimated."

They couldn't see the battle with their own eyes from so far away, but Heavenbridge was there. He had essentially acted as the war reporter, reporting all the new updates live. Thus, everyone knew that the matron dragon's projections were incredibly powerful. In that case, the main body of the matron dragon would definitely be much stronger.

Su Yu laughed, "It's no big deal. In fact, it will be good for us. Without a second Master of Law, the sinned lineage will be reduced to irrelevance for a time. Only with a second Master of Law would they be able to maintain their power.

"And this is good for us as the sinned lineage is still needed as a major faction. They shouldn't grow so weak that Hundred Battle can easily move against them. This will ruin the balance. I only killed so many Venerables today in preparation for the future when the restriction is removed. Otherwise, they would gain a large number of Masters of Laws the moment the restriction is gone."
