Chapter 817: Too Outstanding To Not Shine (2)

Marquis Xia was also among them. The usual smile on his face was gone, replaced by a cold expression. He said, "Zhou Pochong, you guys are useless when it matters. You guys are completely powerless against the Myriad Race Cult. But you sure seem quite capable when it comes to targeting my people. Even if there is solid proof that Chen Yong is a criminal, it is not your place to tell us what to do."

Zhou Pochong said, "Xiao\'er, I am only here to ensure justice. If someone can be spared even after killing military officials, what manner of crime does one need to commit to be punished?"

"Don\'t bother putting on this act in front of me." Marquis Xia coldly said, "You can fuck off now. Leave Great Xiea immediately or I\'ll stop being polite."

He then looked at the others and said, "The show is over. Shouldn\'t all of you fuck off from Great Xia? Don\'t test our patience again and again. The Xia Family\'s blade has not been broken."

Zhou Pochong sighed, "You\'re too rash. We\'re not targeting the Xia Family. Why must you reach that conclusion? It is everyone\'s wish to maintain the status quo and peace. Marquis Xia, I hope you can consider your actions properly."

Marquis Xia maintained a cold expression and gave no reply.

Zhou Pochong shook his head and started walking away. While walking, he said, "You should stop turning a blind eye to the general trend. Neither of us are doing this for selfish reasons. We both want the best for humanity. Do you think those Invincibles are all blind? Look properly. Most of your supporters are warriors. And it is understandable that warriors have different pursuits than us. Yes, the Xia Family is a warrior family, but Great Xia is also the root of the multiple character faction. In fact, the multiple character faction can even acknowledge the Xia Family as their leader."

Marquis Xia remained silent. He understood what Zhou Pochong was hinting at. The multiple character faction Zhou Pochong mentioned was not the current multiple character faction or even Hong Tan\'s line. Rather, he was referring to an entirely different group of people.

Then, Zhou Pochong looked at Hong Tan. With a complicated expression, he said, "Nobody wishes to target anyone. However...we walk different paths. We all have different pursuits. Hong Tan, the disassembly method might not necessarily be able to strengthen the multiple character faction. Perhaps it will be the start of the end."

"I don\'t need your advice." Hong Tan coldly said, "Even bugs will try their best to keep living. And we...are not mere bugs."

"Fine. Do what you want."

Zhou Pochong left the room and flew away. The Sunmoons around Yuan Qingdong also started leaving one after another.

More and more people left.

Finally, Marquis Xia walked over to see the weaponsmiths off. He was very courteous with them, completely unlike his attitude when he was facing Zhou Pochong. Next, he invited Cui Lang to a private conversation. The others weren\'t surprised to see that. It wasn\'t weird for Marquis Xia to try to rope in a newly emerged genius weaponsmith.

When they were finally alone, Marquis Xia looked at Su Yu and sighed, "It is fortunate that you didn\'t ruin my plan."

"I don\'t understand what you\'re talking about, Marquis."

Marquis Xia ignored the remark and said, "Try to leave as fast as you can. This has turned into a dangerous place. I told you the same before. Don\'t stay here for too long."

After a long silence, Su Yu asked, "How about them?"

He was referring to Hong Tan and the others.

"They won\'t be able to leave." Marquis Xia said, "They are the root of this whole thing. Chaos will follow wherever they go."

Su Yu sank into silence. After a while, he said, "I came to understand a lot of things today. I only want to ask one question. If I hadn\'t created so many troubles, would the overall situation be less intense?"

Marquis Xia laughed, "So you agree that you\'re a troublemaker?"

"Not really. I only did all that to help myself. You guys had your own plans while I had my own plans as well. I was unaware of what you were planning. Thus, I can\'t be blamed even if my actions did end up ruining any of your plans. I only feel like without my interference, Elder Chen might not have done all that."

Marquis Xia said, "He has been holding a deep grievance against those people. His actions...have nothing to do with you. From the day Liu Wenyan left Nanyuan...no, from the day he was forced to become a Skysoar in Nanyuan, chaos has started approaching us."

That attack on Nanyuan was the trigger for everything that had happened. Liu Wenyan\'s advancement had started the countdown to chaos. Everyone had lost their patience after fifty years. They were unwilling to wait anymore.

Marquis Xia said, "But you did accelerate the process. It wasn\'t supposed to happen so fast. It should have happened two years in the future. I wouldn\'t have need to assume the position of acting prefect otherwise. Do you understand?"

Su Yu nodded and said nothing.

Marquis Xia said, "Don\'t overestimate your ability to hide. A lot of people noticed you. With the high-profile manner you have been acting, it\'s only a matter of time before more people see through your disguise. Hurry up and leave Great Xia. You should return to Great Ming."

Su Yu gloomily said, "So be it. I have one more question. Why did my house turn into a public display unit that everyone could enter?"

Marquis Xia said, "It\'s just an empty building. It doesn\'t matter if those people want to enter."

Su Yu clenched his fists.

Marquis Xia smiled, "Are you unhappy about that? Stop showing me that face. If we don\'t allow them to enter your house, how are they supposed to discover the ruin? Sooner or later, a ruin will appear in Nanyuan."

Su Yu\'s eyes flickered. A ruin would appear?

Marquis Xia beamed, "If we refuse to even open up your house, a lot of people won\'t have the interest to enter Nanyuan. That would be boring. If you lose the building, so be it. People make a place a home, not a building. Without your family around, that will be nothing but an empty building. If you\'re that unhappy about it, I can compensate you with a new house."

Su Yu clenched his teeth and said, "That was the place I grew up at. I spent more than ten years with my father there. It contained my youth..."

"Tsk, tsk." Marquis Xia laughed, "So you\'re still a brat, after all. Fine, fine. Just remember the grudge. I don\'t care. I\'ll be waiting for you to come take your revenge against me when you\'re strong enough. Hahaha!"

"You—"

Su Yu was furious. But Marquis Xia did not seem to care. He laughed and said, "Why haven\'t you been releasing any new cultivation methods recently? To be honest, I have been waiting to see you grow even more famous. It\'s getting boring now that you\'re no longer releasing new cultivation methods. And after what you did in Nanyuan, it will see fewer visitors from now on. We can\'t allow that to happen.

"Your home has been ruined. And you have killed some people to vent your anger. Why don\'t you release more cultivation methods? The more powerful your ruin seems, the better it is. It would be even better if could attract the interest of Invincibles. Wouldn\'t that be fun?"

Su Yu frowned. Catching the attention of Invincibles?

Marquis Xia narrowed his eyes and said, "In truth, I have higher expectations on you compared to Hong Tan. If you\'re going to remain in Great Xia...tsk tsk. You could be an even bigger bait than Hong Tan. You would definitely be able to attract even more attention."

"Why should I help you with that?"

"Why?"

Marquis Xia smiled and pointed in Hong Tan\'s direction with his chin and said, "To share some of the burden on them. I\'m worried that the burden is so heavy that they are crushed. Why don\'t you take some of the weight off them? Are you interested?"

Su Yu clenched his teeth. Was this damn fatty so confident that he would agree?

Marquis Xia said, "You must be scolding me inwardly right now, but it\'s fine. Plenty of people do that to me so you\'re like a drop of water in the ocean. Do me a favor. How do you think we can make Nanyuan seem even more important than it is right now."

Su Yu sank into a long silence. Finally, he spoke, "Just what do you want to do, Marquis? Are you a friend or an enemy? Just what is the Xia Family\'s stance?"

Marquis Xia was all smiles as he said, "You don\'t have to worry about that. I only have one question. How do you think we can make people place more importance on Nanyuan?"

Su Yu frowned for a long while before answering, "A leakage of heavenly source qi, convincing everyone that a hidden heavenly source qi holy land exists in Nanyuan."

"..."

Marquis Xia was completely stunned. Su Yu then turned around and walked away. His voice rang out, "I\'m used to a life of adventure. Thank you for the offer, Marquis Xia."

A lot of people heard that. They looked over with a knowing smile. They knew that this would be the result. How could Cui Lang be recruited so easily? Meanwhile, Marquis Xia\'s eyes flickered. Heavenly source qi! Holy land!

But he didn\'t have enough heavenly source qi to create something like that. Was this kid saying that he had enough heavenly source qi to create a fake holy land?

"So you have a large supply of heavenly source qi? Consider selling me some. A hundred merit points per heavenly source fruit. What do you think about that offer?"

Su Yu didn\'t even deign to give a reply.

"Five hundred? Do it to lift some burden off the shoulders of your teacher and grandteacher?

"Alright, a thousand merit points. I will get a thousand heavenly source fruits from you. Do you have that many?

"Fine, fine. Two thousand. I can\'t offer more than that!"

Seeing that Su Yu was still ignoring him, Marquis Xia sighed and sent another voice transmission, "I\'m going to die soon. Your teacher and the others are going to die soon too. The future belongs to youngsters like you. Money is an external object. I don\'t mind giving you more. Money really isn\'t that important. But for the things we\'re going to do, we need a lot of money. Kid, can you consider becoming our sponsor?"

Su Yu turned around and stared at Marquis Xia with an unfriendly gaze.

"Don\'t look at me. Remember your disguise."

Marquis Xia said, "People of our generation has failed at sweeping through the world and suppressing the Myriad Realms. I doubt we will ever be able to achieve that. Our hope lies in your generation. Naturally, we won\'t die before doing anything. We will pave the way to a brighter future for you guys. Kid, it\'s fine to support a great man like me, right?"

"..."

Su Yu didn\'t know if this fatty was speaking the truth. He kept feeling like the marquis was scamming him.

Marquis Xia continued, "We have a grand plan. If the plan succeeds, you guys will feel great. At the very least, your life will be much better than those of our generation. Of course, any reform can only happen with blood as the price. I am going to die soon. Longwu will die soon. That old man of mine might also die soon. A lot of people will die soon. Your teachers, your grandteacher, and people like Wan Tiansheng. All of them will die soon. Great heroes like us are in need of some heavenly source qi. Kid, can you supply us with some heavenly source qi?"

The more Su Yu listened, the more he felt like this damn fatty was scamming him. He decided to ignore the marquis. He would consider his options in the future. In any case, it didn\'t look like they were going to carry out the so-called plan anytime soon.

Marquis Xia sent another voice transmission, "Alright, we can put the matter about the heavenly source qi aside for now. I need to give you a reminder. If you want to enter the Allheaven Battlefield, you better do that after becoming a Cloudbreach or even a Mountainsea. Also, you reek of blood. Consume less blood. It\'s not obvious when you\'re far away. But the moment someone approaches you, they can\'t avoid noticing the strong stench of blood on you."

Su Yu was slightly shaken. Marquis Xia\'s continued speaking, "You can consider visiting Great Jin. They have a Heart Calming Spring there. Go and soak in the spring for a few days. That will be enough to cleanse yourself from the stench of blood. Your very bones are currently reeking of blood."

Su Yu kept that matter in mind. He had never thought of that before. He didn\'t know if Niu Baidao and the others weren\'t sensitive enough to sense the stench of blood on him or they had merely been indifferent about it. In any case, they had not spoken about this to him before.

After Marquis Xia left, silence descended on the Discipline Hall. At this time, Su Yu had finally walked out of the Discipline Hall. There, the weaponsmiths were bidding each other farewell. They were planning to depart from Great Xia.

When Hu Qi saw Su Yu, she smiled and asked, "Cui Lang, are you going back with us?"

"No. I still want to have some fun outside. Teacher Hu, you guys can return without me."

"Fine. Be careful when you\'re traveling."

Hu Qi did not say anything else apart from reminding him to watch his back.

At this time, Xia Huyou walked over and smiled, "Brother Cui, do you want to stay in Great Xia for a few more days? For some reason, we get along very well. There are a lot of interesting and fun places in Great Xia you don\'t know about. We don\'t have a lot of entertainment in Great Xia, but we also have a unique environment and culture you can\'t find anywhere else. Are you interested, Brother Cui? I invited a lot of Invincible descendants to stay behind as well. A few days later, a group of divine and devil beauties will also arrive. Why don\'t you stay a few more days here?"

Su Yu\'s eyes flickered when he heard that. He pasted the usual flippant smile on his face and asked, "Really? The divine and devil students are arriving?"

"Yeah. They\'ll be here in a few days." Xia Huyou laughed, "We\'re decided, then. You will stay for a few more days. In all honestly, I love weaponsmithing as well. We can exchange some pointers with each other."

The surrounding weaponsmiths laughed when they heard that. This Xia brat sure was good at bluffing. But they were also quite happy with how much importance the Xia Family was putting on roping in a talented weaponsmith. Just look at that. Even Invincible descendants were fawning over weaponsmiths like them. They were feeling very smug.

Zhao Tianbing said, "Young Friend Cui, you should really consider staying for a few extra days. My junior brother is greatly appreciative of your talent. He has been in a bad mood as of late. Consider this a request from me. Can you stay for a few more days and interact more with him? If you happen to enter Great Zhou in your future travels, I will definitely give you a grand welcome to thank you for this!"

"In that case, I\'ll have to thank you in advance, Principal Zhao."

Su Yu cupped his fists and agreed. Zhao Tianbing then left with a happy smile. The other weaponsmiths also left in succession after they were done bidding each other farewell.

After everyone else left, Xia Huyou sent a voice transmission, "Don\'t run around randomly during your time here. Several people died in Nanyuan so some experts are heading over here. You might encounter them on the road and get into trouble. Leave when things calm down."

Su Yu nodded without saying anything. It would seem like the family members of the people he killed were here.

Great Jin...Heart Calming Spring...one of the people he killed seemed to come from Great Jin as well.

Soon, Xia Huyou started leading Su Yu somewhere. While walking, he said, "Brother Cui, why don\'t you stay in the academy during your time here? There are some empty villas in the Mental Tempering Garden. Are you fine with staying there? This will make it convenient with you to get in touch with everyone else. More Invincible descendants will be coming over during the next few days."

"That\'s a great arrangement."

Su Yu replied politely while stealing a glance at Hong Tan and the others who were leaving silently. He did not say anything to them.

Not far away.

Bai Feng sighed and said, "Looks like learning weaponsmithing and pillmaking are better. Teacher, did you see that? A mere profound weaponsmith is being treated like a VIP. I feel like even my status isn\'t as high as his. Also, Old Zhao felt a lot more important than you after his breakthrough."

Hong Tan glanced at his student. Was this fellow trying to court death with his mouth again? He then glanced at the distant Su Yu and raised his brow, "That kid feels dangerous."

"Hmm?"

"The killing intent on him is too strong. Of course, you won\'t be able to sense it since you\'re too weak."

At the same time, he was sending a voice transmission, "What do you feel when you see that kid?"

Bai Feng blanked out slightly and replied, "He gives off a sense of familiarity."

"Yeah."

Hong Tan did not say it but he felt the same as well. That sense of familiarity did not mean that they knew him. Rather, he might be carrying something extremely important for them on him.

What was going on?

Suddenly, a thought appeared in his mind: Character Technique Stele?

Hong Tan kept that to himself. He did not try to test anything. His mind must be playing tricks on him. After all, the Character Technique Stele was with Su Yu.
