Chapter 906: There Are Things to Do and Things Not to Do

Even King Wen's phantom wanted to vomit blood. What are you doing?

At a time like this, why the hell aren't you going to save people?

Are you rewinding time here!

Su Yu smiled, not anxious at all. At this point, what was there to hurry for?

He continued setting up layer after layer of seals, playing his own game. King Wen watched, his expression gradually changing, but he said nothing.

One minute, two minutes…

At this critical moment, Su Yu was in no hurry to leave, nor did he mention rescuing Wen Yu. Instead, he slowly arranged some formations around the area, and King Wen's face grew increasingly grave.

And just then, a surge of power rose from the void.

As if appearing out of thin air!

Su Yu suddenly reached out and grabbed!

In an instant, he tore through the void, and a phantom appeared—it was the phantom of Fa. The phantom trembled, with a hint of fear: "You were waiting for me?"

Su Yu said nothing.

He kept grabbing at him!

A massive hand crushed the entire void. In an instant, he pulled a strand of origin from the dark river of time. At that moment, Fa's form appeared, panicked and terrified!

"Who the hell are you?"

King Wen also changed color slightly: "His origin didn't all enter the world?"

World-openers almost always put all their origin into the world, especially when opening a world within a gate—they must gather all origin. Why does Fa still have some origin left?

Su Yu grinned, looking at Fa, whose face was now deathly pale!

Impossible!

How did he find out?

Su Yu kept sealing Fa's phantom and origin, saying calmly: "What are you looking at? You are heartless and lawless, trust no one, care only for profit—what affection could you have? That son of yours—he's the key you left for your own revival, isn't he? I've seen this trick before! In recent years, the myriad realms have a popular scheme: die, then find someone to revive you! Best if of the same bloodline and origin. The Human Gate spread that, didn't they?"

Su Yu knew this.

Zhou Ji had told him!

He had said that the purpose of his birth was to serve as a vessel for the Human Ancestor's descent.

And the demon Modona and others like him were also meant for powerful beings to descend into.

Su Yu had seen Fa Tian—timid and cowardly at first glance. But he was indeed Fa's son. For a supreme powerhouse like Fa, his son, though not a regional overlord, had cultivated to thirty Dao powers, yet had such a personality. In this dog-eat-dog world, it was a miracle he hadn't died!

How shrewd a man was Fa?

Would he mold his own son into such a character?

Wasn't that just sending him to his death?

As for the so-called thirty Dao powers, Su Yu could see they were almost entirely nurtured by Fa's Myriad Laws Dao—similar to how Su Yu himself nurtured a great Dao within the world.

Had Fa spent countless years just to create a useless son?

If he truly loved this son, he wouldn't have done so…

So Su Yu concluded that this guy had a backup plan—it was only natural. Mainly because he knew this, knew that the Human Gate excelled at descent techniques, which some called possession!

Zhou Ji had once said he was almost possessed by the Human Ancestor… Su Yu later suspected that guy had long been possessed by some entity from the Human Gate.

Now, Fa's face was ashen, filled with despair: "You want to kill me?"

Obviously!

"You can't kill me!"

Fa gritted his teeth: "Fa Tian has been nurtured by my will for years. He now holds the Myriad Laws Scroll. If I die, he will sense it, and if he shatters the scroll, Wen Yu will gain nothing and might even die…"

Su Yu said calmly: "Once your world power is extracted, she won't die!"

"No… if the world core shatters,"

"she might still die…"

Fa said quickly: "Don't kill me. I can cooperate with you and merge the world for Wen Yu. I know many secrets—of the Human Gate, the Heavenly Gate—I know a great deal. Besides, if you kill me, the Heavenly Gate will sense my origin's destruction!"

"You suppressed the commotion to avoid detection. If you kill me, others might not know, but the Heavenly Gate will certainly sense it!"

Su Yu said nothing. The formations around him quickly surged forward, sealing Fa.

Su Yu said calmly: "If you don't want to die, then let yourself be sealed obediently! Fa, do you choose to be killed by me now, or to be sealed?"

Fa's face was deathly pale. He said no more.

But after a moment, as seal after seal descended, he asked unwillingly: "Are you Su Yu?"

"Yes!"

"Do you have people in the Human Dao Sacred Land?"

"I captured Sun and Moon, and they have already surrendered to me!"

Su Yu said calmly: "Even you can betray, so why not Sun and Moon? In this day and age, anything is possible."

Fa was completely speechless.

Su Yu smiled, unconcerned. After a moment of silence, Fa said again: "What made you so sure I would possess Fa Tian?"

Just based on your guess?

So you stayed here and didn't leave?

But if you were late and Wen Yu was killed—didn't you come to save her?

"Just a guess… Fa Tian is the most un-30-Dao of all 30-Dao powerhouses I've ever seen… Never seen such a martial second-generation… Empty strength, no personality at all, timid and submissive, even less imposing than a Dao Harmonizer…"

Su Yu shrugged: "He looks like a tool! Waiting for you a while doesn't waste much time, right? Besides, as you said, if I killed you, others might not know, but the Heavenly Gate would sense something. Yet the Heavenly Gate made no move at all… So maybe they didn't even feel your fall. What's wrong with me waiting for you a bit?"

At that moment, King Wen glanced at Su Yu, as if he couldn't quite believe it.

You stayed here and didn't leave just based on that judgment?

Su Yu was speechless under his gaze. After a long while, he said: "What are you looking at? Rain Vein Master said that there might be more than one shadow around Fa—she seemed to have seen a second one, always by Fa's side, never leaving… Lightning Vein Master said that the deaths of Yang and Sheng Vein Masters were indeed suspicious, not necessarily the work of Black Moon. She said that when those two died, their Sea of Will exploded, and only Fa was present at the time—even you, King Wen, had fled…"

Now, the sealed Fa changed color slightly, looked at Su Yu, and gritted his teeth: "Those bastards!"

Su Yu shrugged: "Just casual talk. After all, I am the Heavenly Gate's envoy—it's only natural for them to curry favor with me. Even you, Fa, said nothing and let me govern the six veins, so of course everyone wants to please me!"

Su Yu smiled, and King Wen also smiled: "So you deduced that this Fa Tian was meant for his own revival?"

"Mm."

Su Yu added with a smile: "Mainly because this has happened in the myriad realms before, and these fellows have many tricks. Last time, when the Fallen Soul Valley Lord and his brother were killed, the two once merged. Actually, if those two had separated, they might have possessed each other…"

Su Yu sighed, shaking his head. "Troublesome!"

These fellows, though they don't cultivate the Three Bodies Method and can't revive three times, all have some life-saving tricks.

He didn't say more. This time, Fa himself insisted on bringing out Fa Tian at the last moment. This guy trusted no one, only himself. Among his six vein masters, he trusted none!

Yet he left behind a son who had never appeared before. Su Yu felt that this fellow probably didn't even believe in his son—someone like him only believed in himself.

Sure enough!

Otherwise, if Su Yu hadn’t caught his origin, before Su Yu could return to Eternal Mountain, his origin might have gone back first, seized Faitian’s flesh, and devoured the core of Wenyu’s world…

By the time Su Yu arrived, perhaps this fellow would have already unified everything!

That would have been a real disaster!

And King Wen, now feeling a lingering fear, looked at Su Yu and said, “Over the years, I truly never noticed he had left himself such a backup plan.”

Su Yu said nothing, swiftly sealed Fa, and also quickly sealed Black Moon, who was nearly blasted to death by the shockwaves nearby!

Then, he locked the two together, dense with countless great paths, and soon the Heavenly Gate opened, trapping them within its range.

King Wen watched this, speechless, and said, “Aren’t you afraid they’ll escape and blow up your Heavenly Gate…”

The Heavenly Gate, for Su Yu, was also one of his vital points!

But Su Yu didn’t care: “This is where I keep the closest watch; any slight movement and I’ll know. I’m not afraid of them moving—I’m afraid they won’t, because that’s when it’s dangerous!”

After speaking, he looked at him, “Change your appearance a bit, pretend to be Fa. I’ll go back to save people first; you come later!”

King Wen nodded, said nothing more, and quickly shaped a flesh body, though it was extremely frail.

Fa had nearly blown him to pieces just now!

Su Yu didn’t waste words, vanishing instantly.

When he was gone, King Wen let out a slight breath, suddenly feeling a bit weary. He was old.

Since entering the Heavenly Gate back then, nothing had gone smoothly, and now he felt more and more his age—his experience and ideas were still there, but he couldn’t keep up, at least not with Su Yu.

He slowly recovered, then looked into the distance, frowning slightly.

At that moment, a thunderous roar came!

In the far distance, a man and a beast, both colossal, were locked in battle. Unfortunately, the Lord of the Dead hadn’t achieved dual-heaven unity, and now the beast’s sharp horn pierced through his flesh!

“Roar!”

A fierce cry echoed across the land, heard even within the gate’s inner world.

Next, the Lord of the Dead seemed to go mad: “Kong, you’re asking for death! Heaven and earth, descend!”

Boom!

In the far west, the Heavenly Gate trembled violently, and a dead spirit heaven could be seen madly battering the portal. The Lord of the Dead fled, flying toward the Heavenly Gate in fury.

“I will slaughter you!”

Without dual-heaven unity, he couldn’t defeat Kong.

Now, the Heavenly Gate blocking him became his target. He broke through the void with boundless rage, roaring, “Human, if you dare stop my heaven from entering, I’ll blow you to pieces today!”

Death energy filled the sky!

Clearly, he was enraged!

Soon, the Lord of the Dead broke through space, bringing his dead spirit heaven down with a crash. Under everyone’s stunned gaze, he punched through the void, revealing a massive gate!

Boom!

Punch after punch, countless blows, and the unyielding gate trembled under his assault, the Heavenly Gate shaking violently!

At that moment, a figure flew out from within the gate, furious: “You dare—”

“Little worm!”

A thunderous shout echoed, and with a single punch, the figure was shattered into pieces, waves of death energy surging in all directions!

The Lord of the Dead was beyond furious!

“Do you want to die? Open the gate!”

Under his rage, the Heavenly Gate slowly cracked open, and a surge of world power descended instantly. The Lord of the Dead snorted coldly, “Spineless! Not fully awakened, and you dare fight me?”

With some irritation, he turned back to attack, ignoring the Heavenly Gate. Boom!

Next, everyone saw Kong, who had been chasing him, sent flying backward by a trident. Now, the Lord of the Dead’s death energy shook the heavens!

Silence fell all around!

This fellow was terrifyingly fierce!

Having just suffered a loss at Kong’s hands, he didn’t continue fighting Kong but instead madly attacked the Heavenly Gate. The not-yet-fully-awakened Heavenly Gate chose to yield, retreating slightly under his frenzy.

The Lord of the Dead, with dual-heaven unity, was immensely powerful. In his fury and roaring, he abandoned other tactics and used a giant trident to send Kong flying again and again!

The entire region was reduced to a dead city!

The commotion there was enormous!

At this moment, no one paid attention to King Wen and the others. These two top-tier beings were truly fighting with real fire. Earlier it had been minor skirmishes, but after suffering a loss, the Lord of the Dead was now determined to kill this top beast king!

…

At that moment, on Sky Dome Mountain, the Lord of the Sky Dome, who had been watching the show, also looked grave. He glanced first at the Heavenly Gate, then at the battlefield of the two top existences, and after a moment said solemnly, “They’ve stirred up real anger. If this continues… the entire inner gate will fall into chaos!”

He eyed some restless lords of forbidden lands; now, some might be thinking of taking the chance to kill the Lord of the Dead.

But an existence like the Lord of the Dead—if he truly died, someone today would have to be buried with him.

He was too strong!

…

At this moment, Su Yu also frowned slightly.

He could sense that the Lord of the Dead might truly be enraged, because he was undefeated, yet earlier Kong had repelled and wounded him!

If this continued… he’d have to be careful of being surrounded and killed!

He sped up, moving swiftly.

Soon, Eternal Mountain was in sight.

The battle on the mountain was still ongoing. Su Yu saw at a glance that both the Martial King and Time Master were covered in wounds, gathered together, surrounded by a group of strong attackers!

“Stop!”

Su Yu shouted sharply!

The six vein masters, hearing the voice, paused instinctively, but the Fist Saint and the other two ignored him. Su Yu shouted coldly, “Is the Human Gate rebelling? This is your Human Gate’s territory? How dare you!”

The three strong men finally looked at Su Yu, their faces dark!

Who was this bastard?

The six vein masters all looked at Su Yu, puzzled. Where was Lord Fa?

“Lord Fa is behind. King Wen is nearly dead…”

Su Yu continued, frowning, “Lord Fa sent me ahead to capture these three!”

He pointed at the three Human Gate strongmen. The six vein masters were taken aback.

Don’t joke around!

At this moment, they were still dealing with the Time Master and the War King—capturing the three great masters of the Human Gate? Were they mad?

Su Yu said calmly, “Take them! The Law Master has his own plans…”

The six were still incredulous, and Rain Vein Master hurriedly said, “Sun-Moon Daoist, this… what about Wen Yu and the others…”

At this moment, though the two were barely clinging to life, weren’t they still alive?

Suddenly turning against these three now—weren’t they afraid of backlash from Wen Yu and the others?

The group hesitated.

How could the Law Master issue such an order?

The three great masters of the Human Gate also ceased their attacks, suddenly on high alert—what were these people up to?

Fist Saint said coldly, “You called for aid, we came to help, and now you want to turn on us?”

What was going on?

He still didn’t understand, and Black Moon—he hadn’t seen him.

Where was Black Moon?

At this moment, Fa Tian, holding the Ten Thousand Laws Scroll, said angrily, “What are you doing? Sun-Moon, my father said this place is under my command—what are you doing?”

They were on the verge of success, and now this Sun-Moon suddenly returns—what was he playing at?

“Fa Tian, come here!”

Su Yu said calmly, “Master Fa has a message for me to convey, not to be heard by others!”

Fa Tian was furious, “Who do you think you are?”

Though somewhat timid, he wasn’t completely ignorant; now that Sun-Moon suddenly returned and gave orders, he sensed something amiss!

“Who am I? I am a direct disciple of the Human Path Sacred Land!”

Su Yu said flatly, “Eternal Life Mountain is merely the outer sect of our Human Path Sacred Land—don’t you know that? Enough nonsense. Don’t think that just because you’re Master Fa’s son, you’re something special. When I say come, you come—can’t you understand human speech?”

Fa Tian was incensed, looking at the six vein masters, but Fa was absent, and the six vein masters dared not speak; each wore a grim expression—what now?

Everything had been fine… had something else gone wrong?

Seeing none of the six vein masters step forward, Fa Tian grew angrier, gritted his teeth, and walked toward Su Yu with the Ten Thousand Laws Scroll, fuming, “What message would my father have you convey?”

Among the six vein masters, someone seemed about to speak but held back—don’t go!

It felt… not quite right!

After all, this was the Law Master’s son, and the Law Master’s cosmic core was still in his hands.

But Fa Tian possessed thirty paths of power; the vein masters thought it over and remained silent—they couldn’t afford to offend either side.

The three, including Fist Saint, all frowned deeply.

Should they still kill or not?

At this moment, the Time Master and War King were silent, rapidly healing, seizing this rare chance to recover. The Time Master knew who Sun-Moon was and said nothing.

The War King, too, knew.

They were both focused on recovering now.

Meanwhile, Su Yu silently watched Fa Tian, who actually felt a flicker of fear under his gaze. Gritting his teeth, Fa Tian approached Su Yu and said angrily, “What do you want to say?”

Boom!

A thunderous sound erupted!

Su Yu struck out with a palm, sending Fa Tian flying back with blood spraying from his mouth. The next moment, Su Yu seized him. The six vein masters’ expressions shifted, and Fa Tian, enraged, was about to erupt when Su Yu barked, “How dare you! Kneel! Who gave you the audacity to secretly collude with the Human Gate?”

“I… didn’t!”

Fa Tian was terrified—no!

“Arrest him first!”

At this moment, no one cared about Su Yu’s strength; they were all stunned—what was happening?

Su Yu said calmly, “Arrest him first, and wait for the Law Master’s return to decide! The Human Gate… well done! Fa Tian, whether you colluded with the Human Gate will be settled when the Law Master returns! How bold—don’t you realize where you are, daring to collude with the Human Gate to frame Master Fa?”

Su Yu sneered and looked at the six vein masters: “Go, surround and kill those three!”

Then he turned to the crowd and said flatly, “By order of the Human Path Sacred Land, by order of the Law Master, now, slay the three great masters of the Human Gate!”

Su Yu quickly retreated, dragging Fa Tian with him.

Around them, the people of the Human Path Sacred Land—the old man with twenty-four paths of power—gritted his teeth and shouted, “As commanded! Kill!”

Boom!

On the periphery, over a dozen first-rank experts struck out together, charging at Fist Saint and the other two!

Fist Saint and his companions were still bewildered—damn it!

What was going on?

Su Yu’s cold voice rang out: “Black Moon of the Human Gate plotted to collude with Fa Tian to seize the Law Master’s cosmic core—did you really think you could hide it? This was all to lure you out! And sure enough, you all took the bait!”

As he spoke, he looked at Fa Tian, who was furious: “I didn’t…”

Su Yu said coldly, “Whether you did or not, tell your father! I won’t convict you now. But if you resist… that’s an unforgivable crime! Hand over the cosmic core!”

Fa Tian cried out frantically, “I really didn’t collude with Black Moon… really…”

“If you’re innocent, this will be thoroughly investigated!”

Su Yu said coldly, “I’m not killing you now to give you a chance to defend yourself. We won’t wrong anyone, but… if it truly was you, then prepare to die!”

Fa Tian, humiliated and aggrieved, lowered his head: “I… didn’t do it, you’re wronging me… my father will vindicate me!”

With that, he reluctantly handed the Ten Thousand Laws Scroll to Su Yu.

Su Yu almost wanted to pat his head and say, you… are truly a fool!

But this was how Fa had deliberately raised him; Su Yu could only say that Fa had woven his own noose. He feared that a clever son might turn against him, so Fa Tian had nothing beyond his strength—nothing at all!

Even that strength was merely nurtured by Fa, used as a tool!

No wisdom, no courage, no spirit.

Intimidated by Su Yu, his only thought now was to explain, to protest his innocence—he hadn’t done these things. As for resistance… he dared not!

At this moment, the six vein masters watched helplessly as he handed the Ten Thousand Laws Scroll to Su Yu.

In truth, they didn’t quite believe it, but they were powerless to stop it.

On one hand, there was the deterrence of the Human Path Sacred Land; on the other, Su Yu had just displayed his strength, instantly sending a thirty-path cultivator spitting blood.

Even if they sensed something amiss, the six vein masters chose silence for now.

If the Law Master was fine, all would be well.

If something had happened… then the Human Path Sacred Land would be their only refuge. At this point, they dared not speak up, especially since the Human Path Sacred Land held considerable power in Eternal Life Mountain!

Su Yu’s actions in recent days had finally paid off.

And Su Yu, now holding the Ten Thousand Laws Scroll, said nothing more. A surge of sealing power erupted, instantly descending upon the Time Master and the others, his voice cold: “If you want to die, resist. If not, submit to the seal now—you might still live!”

With that, Su Yu moved a great mountain, and with a thunderous crash, sealed the two within it. The next moment, he turned to the six somewhat hesitant vein masters and barked, “Still not striking? Waiting to be killed?”

The six vein masters exchanged glances, said nothing more, and charged at the three mighty ones.

The great battle erupted once more, but this time, the target was different.

Su Yu glanced at Faitian and said calmly, “Seal yourself. I will suppress you beneath Eternal Life Mountain until your father returns to deal with you.”

Faitian’s face twisted in frustration: “I… truly did not collude with the Human Gate!”

“Enough. It’s useless telling me. Wait until your father returns.”

Faitian fell silent, sighed, and sealed his own path. Su Yu added another layer of sealing, imprisoning him beneath another mountain.

Watching the battle nearby—the six vein masters, joined by over a dozen first-rank experts, fighting the three mighty ones—Su Yu could not be bothered to intervene. He glanced at the others still standing around and said coldly, “Are you rebelling?”

Among them, someone hesitated: “Lord… we…”

Boom!

Su Yu threw a punch, blasting that man to pieces. “Now, attack immediately and surround the three! Otherwise, you all die!”

The surrounding experts felt a chill in their hearts and dared not delay, charging into the fray.

Fist Sage roared in fury: “Bastard… you were the ones who called for our aid… and now you turn on us… Damn it!”

Eternal Life Mountain had turned against them!

But Su Yu said nothing more, drifting away, and said calmly, “I am going to meet the Law Lord. Before I return, I want to see the corpses of those three. No matter how many die, kill them. If they survive… consider the consequences. If one escapes and news leaks, consider that too.”

With that, he drifted away.

No one expected him to leave like that, but there was nothing to be done.

…

Meanwhile, Su Yu flew back swiftly. Soon, he saw a somewhat weakened Wen Wang flying toward him. He tossed the Ten Thousand Laws Scroll directly to him, quickly transmitted a few words, briefly explained the situation, and then said, “I won’t handle the rest. I’ll come back later…”

“Where are you going?” Wen Wang’s heart tightened.

Su Yu gazed into the distance, frowning slightly. “What do you think?”

Wen Wang’s expression changed.

But Su Yu had already broken through the air and vanished.

Where to?

To find the Lord of the Dead!

That place was dangerous. Now, some forbidden lands were stirring. If they joined forces, the Lord of the Dead would be in great trouble. Since Su Yu was of the Dead Spirit Hell, how could he not act now?

Wen Wang watched him disappear, gritted his teeth, and shouted, “Be careful!”

Su Yu was heading into danger now, for the Lord of the Dead was entangled.

…

Su Yu paid no heed to Wen Wang.

The Lord of the Dead had drawn attention for him. Su Yu’s intention was to let it be, but this one had fought with real fury. Had he forgotten that he could not be resurrected? If he did not kill the Immortal Ancestor, a super-strong like him could not revive.

What a mess!

But whether it was a mess or not, Su Yu had to handle it.

He moved with incredible speed. The Time Master was not in great danger, and Su Yu no longer wished to meddle. Wen Wang could handle that small scene. Su Yu had to move as fast as possible to intimidate the other forbidden land lords, to prevent them from even thinking of a siege.

…

At that moment, some forbidden land lords were indeed tempted.

“Shall we attack?”

In the void, some lords transmitted messages.

Help Kong, kill the Lord of the Dead!

Of course, both were immensely powerful. Some remained silent, preferring to see them both wounded. The strong were obstacles. Others were of equal strength, but these two—including Shi and Qiong—were too mighty. It would be best if they destroyed each other, leaving everyone freer.

Now, some wanted to kill the Lord of the Dead, while others hesitated.

Why should they meddle?

Whoever died, it was a good thing.

Better still if they both perished.

Of course, they could not say that. Someone transmitted: “Kong has not yet spoken. If we rashly join the battle and they think we are plotting against them both, they might turn on us. That would be trouble. Let’s wait until Kong asks for help.”

“But the Lord of the Dead, with his dual heavens united, still outmatches Kong…”

Some still felt they should kill this one first.

“Don’t forget, Kong rarely acts, but the Lord of the Dead has struck repeatedly. Almost all the strong who have died in recent years were killed by him.”

Su Yu’s kills were also attributed to the Lord of the Dead.

Just as they were speaking, a furious roar shook heaven and earth.

A figure appeared. The next moment, a giant dragon swept its tail across the sky with a thunderous crash.

The figure vanished instantly.

From the Dragon Domain, the Dragon Ancestor roared in fury: “Su Yu, what are you doing?”

Too audacious!

Everyone had been watching the show, their attention slightly diverted, and Su Yu had sneaked into the Dragon Domain, right under his nose, and killed several giant dragons.

The figure reappeared in the distance. Su Yu smiled slightly. “Nothing much. Just killed a few dragons to nourish my grandfather later. Anger harms the body. Kong is not easy to deal with. Even if you kill him, the cost is great. Everyone, if you have good food, bring some offerings. I have dragons now, but I still need a phoenix. And any birds or beasts, send some over…”

Su Yu cackled. “My grandfather is busy killing Kong. I fear you might be too bored, so I’ll play with you, lest you find it dull.”

At that moment, one after another, immensely powerful beings manifested.

From the Divine Domain, the Divine Ancestor said coldly, “Su Yu, are you seeking death?”

Su Yu seemed a bit mad, his smile bright. “Come then! You have numbers, right? Come and surround me. See if I’m afraid. Send me a divine corpse, above twenty-five paths, and I won’t trouble you. Otherwise… you wait.”

The Divine Ancestor’s face darkened. Are you insane?

There were now ten forbidden land lords here, and you, alone, dare to threaten me?

At that moment, no one had any thought of besieging the Lord of the Dead. They had to deal with this nuisance Su Yu first.

How hateful!

One by one, the forbidden land lords swiftly converged on Su Yu, who flew away rapidly, heading toward the Heavenly Gate, also toward the Celestial Mountain.

Someone’s expression shifted slightly.

Were they about to provoke the master of Skyvault Mountain as well?

…

And on Skyvault Mountain, its master frowned: “He’s flying toward me—what does he mean by that?”

Su Yu had also emerged!

Earlier, when he hadn’t appeared, everyone wondered where the fellow had gone.

Had he been afraid and dared not show himself?

But then, the moment he appeared—good heavens—he’d slipped straight into the Dragon Domain and butchered a dragon!

The Human Emperor was taken aback as well.

Su Yu had come!

Yet it wasn’t entirely unexpected; his arrival made sense, but at this moment, the situation was far from good!

…

Su Yu flew swiftly.

With a provocative grin, he laughed wildly: “Come on, chase me! A bunch of worthless wretches—I can kill demons, kill the Lord of Fallen Soul Valley, and I can kill you too. You wouldn’t even spare some food, but sooner or later, I’ll slaughter you all!”

The lords of the forbidden lands shifted their expressions, their faces uncertain—this fellow was utterly arrogant!

As he drew closer to Skyvault Mountain, someone spoke up, shouting: “Master of Skyvault Mountain, this man flees into your domain—will you not intervene?”

They had to give notice, otherwise… it would be troublesome!

And indeed, the voice of Skyvault Mountain’s master came through, tinged with coldness: “Su Yu, this is no place for you!”

What, did he mean to drag trouble onto my turf?

Do you believe I’ll strike you dead right now?

Su Yu ignored him and called out: “Sword Venerable, follow me to slay the enemy!”

“…”

On Skyvault Mountain, the Sword Venerable looked utterly speechless.

Damn it!

My son only entered your world to seek a path to survival, not to sell his life to you—and even if he did, that’s my son, not me!

This was clearly forcing the mountain master to act!

Frowning, he flew swiftly to the peak of Skyvault Mountain and said gravely: “Mountain Master, pay him no heed. If he truly dies… that is Kong’er’s fate!”

The master of Skyvault Mountain also frowned.

He looked at the Sword Venerable, and after a long pause, said: “You’ve found a fine patron for your son!”

There was a hint of anger, mixed with helplessness.

How did you end up with such a creature?

The Sword Venerable was equally helpless: it wasn’t me who found him—my son chose him himself!

The master of Skyvault Mountain snorted again: “Su Yu, do you think you have me cornered?”

Su Yu shouted once more: “Fine, I’ll leave. Sword Venerable… I won’t come looking for you again. If you have time, come find me. This place… I won’t return!”

The Sword Venerable said nothing.

And the master of Skyvault Mountain was somewhat exasperated—was this a slap in my face?

Can I not even protect my own subordinate?

Kong went to fight the Death Lord for his men—am I worse than Kong?

Though he knew Su Yu, that bastard, was using him…

At this moment, the master of Skyvault Mountain was still furious and roared: “No one shall set foot in my domain—otherwise, death without mercy!”

In that instant, a sword aura, bone-chillingly cold, spread across the four directions, forming a vast circle.

Su Yu’s eyes flickered; the next moment, he stood just outside the circle, a hair’s breadth away, neither entering nor leaving, lingering near the sword light. He grinned at those behind him, baring his teeth: “Come on, let’s go in together!”

“…”

The lords of the forbidden lands were also at a loss for words.

Was he a thug who couldn’t be reasoned with?

This was clearly forcing them to fight their way in!

But if they did… they would truly be defying the master of Skyvault Mountain!

…

Further away.

The Death Lord was relentlessly pummeling Kong, but killing him was no easy feat!

After beating Kong soundly, sending him flying backward, he suddenly pulled away, glanced at Su Yu in the distance, frowned slightly, and snorted!

If you hadn’t come, I’d have beaten Kong to death today!

But… never mind. Since you’re drawing off my opponents and saving me some trouble, I’ll spare Kong for now!

He looked at Kong, whose flesh was torn and bleeding, and shot him a gaze even more ferocious than Kong’s: “If you want to die, I’ll gladly oblige! Now get lost! I’m going to save my grandson—those bastards are bullying him, and I have no time for you… Kong, if you’re not satisfied, try to stop me!”

In the distance, that colossal beast, its eyes savage, looked at the Death Lord, then at Su Yu surrounded over there, and then at Qiong, who had only unleashed sword energy without showing himself. It said coldly: “You’re quite something! I, too, want to see how long you can keep up your arrogance!”

With those words, Kong vanished instantly!

Fighting the Death Lord to a mutual ruin… that would hardly be wise.

But this grudge was well and truly settled!

The Death Lord sneered with disdain, unconcerned, and swiftly tore through the air, charging toward Su Yu!

His aura was overwhelmingly fierce, thick with murderous intent!

Over there, the lords of the forbidden lands also sensed it and frowned—Kong had actually left?

Damn it all!

Now that the Death Lord was coming back, there was no need to keep fighting.

And since they were near Skyvault Mountain, where Qiong’s stance remained unclear, the group deliberated for a moment, uttered no harsh words, and vanished one by one.

As for Su Yu, his back was drenched in cold sweat!

The next moment, the Death Lord flew over, looked at him, and raised an eyebrow: “What are you doing here?”

Su Yu grinned, showing his teeth: “I brought you something to eat, to build you up. You looked a bit weak, struggling so hard against an ancient beast.”

“Ha!”

The Death Lord laughed with arrogant scorn: “Struggling? If I weren’t wary of others butting in, I’d have butchered him long ago!”

“I saw him gore your body to pieces—still boasting?”

"Heh!"

The Death Lord let out a cold laugh, glanced toward Skyridge Mountain, said nothing more, and tore through the void to leave!

Su Yu, for his part, breathed a slight sigh of relief.

At that moment, turning back to look at Skyridge Mountain, he suddenly smiled and said, "Many thanks to the Mountain Lord for lending a hand. Su Yu is deeply grateful. Next time, I shall surely pay a visit to express my thanks..."

"Get lost!"

A sharp shout rang out!

Su Yu laughed heartily, "I'll get lost right away, but still, my thanks to the Mountain Lord! Sword Lord, rest assured, I will train Jian Kong well. He won't leave seclusion until he reaches the twenty-fifth Dao—I'll make sure he's properly trained!"

The Sword Lord said nothing.

Twenty-fifth Dao... that didn't sound bad!

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the Mountain Lord, then said cautiously, "I'll have Kong'er return at once. Mountain Lord, I..."

The Skyridge Mountain Lord, irritated, snapped, "You get lost too!"

The Sword Lord vanished instantly.

The Skyridge Mountain Lord snorted, then suddenly looked at the open portal, frowning slightly. "Damn it, that annoying feeling... how is it a bit like you?"

The Human Emperor chuckled, "He's my grandson!"

"..."

Damn you!

Your grandson? The Death Lord's grandson... did you two give birth to him?

Still, he said, "Bold enough, and with plenty of nerve, to dare come out and lure those forbidden lords at a time like this. If Kong had been a bit more daring, he'd be in trouble!"

If Kong had refused to retreat, there was still hope of taking care of both at once!

The Human Emperor said darkly, "Inside the gate, there's no 'you for me, me for you.' Everyone only thinks of themselves. If Kong doesn't retreat and the Death Lord fights for real, in the end, even if those two die... Kong might become a soul beneath the blade—and not necessarily killed by the Death Lord, but by those others. Do you believe that?"

The Skyridge Mountain Lord was silent for a moment, then said coldly, "That's what the world forces. The apocalypse... no one wants it!"

The Human Emperor said no more.

He simply withdrew all his power. Just now, he had almost been unable to hold back. Now it seemed that with the Death Lord on Su Yu's side, it was a great deterrent!

Then the Skyridge Mountain Lord suddenly said, "Just now, the Heavenly Gate trembled. It seemed like three layers of heaven and earth—one from your brother, one from the Deathly Netherworld, and one from someone else... Was it Su Yu?"

"What?"

The Skyridge Mountain Lord frowned, saying coldly, "This Su Yu... he isn't really your grandson, is he?"

With some doubt, he said no more and ignored the Human Emperor. Whatever you say, I'll just take it as hot air!
