Chapter 488: 487, Naya Hourglass_1

Of course, this golden hourglass is the [Zhongya Hourglass].

The [Zhongya Hourglass] has an extremely powerful feature: a one-time use that stops time within a 100-kilometer radius for 5 seconds (the user will not be affected by the time stop). After using its magic, the artifact becomes permanently inactive.

[Zhongya Hourglass] was supposed to be delivered to Bernina Tide as a mission item eventually. Su Yu had planned on using its powerful feature during his next visit to Skru Star.

But now, the situation was urgent, and it was a time when he had no choice but to use it.

Thereupon, Su Yu lifted the Zhongya Hourglass high. It was instantly activated and a tremendous golden light exploded from the hourglass, filling every corner of the base.

Everyone in Yunlu Mountain Base, like a scene frozen in a screen, instantly stopped all actions. All was silent and the only one moving was Su Yu.

Su Yu, of course, would make good use of these life-saving 5 seconds.

He activated all his potential and constantly used the [Flash Skill] to quickly move towards the locations of the three criminals.

In just three seconds, Su Yu’s figure had arrived next to the living quarters of the “Iron Stream March” team where a male terrorist preparing to detonate a bomb was located.

Crack!

Su Yu forged an ice blade, swiftly swung it down, and the male terrorist was cleaved into halves just as easily as cutting a watermelon. Blood splattered all over the ground.

Without any pause, Su Yu swiftly moved towards another target while constantly using the [Flash Skill].

Crackle!

A second later, one of the terrorists carrying a bomb was obliterated into dust by the [Thunderfall Skill].

After another second, Su Yu was in front of the last terrorist. With a strong swing of his ice blade, the left hand of the terrorist with the detonator button was cleanly severed.

At this moment, the 5 seconds of time standstill ended.

From the perspective of the last terrorist, he was about to press the button to sacrifice himself and contribute to the arrival of the Skuru people when he suddenly felt a chill in his left wrist, then he could no longer feel his left hand.

At the same time, waves of agonizing pain shot through his left wrist. The severed hand caused him so much pain that he almost passed out.

Su Yu swiftly appeared in front of him.

Without uttering a word, he had lifted the [Soul Stealing Wand] and aimed it at the terrorist before the latter could perform any other despicable act.

[Mental Theft]!

The mental theft skill was activated, and many colorless, transparent waves extended from Su Yu’s wand, all the way to the memory area of the terrorist’s brain.

Since the terrorist posed no more threat, he did not need to rush through a simplified version of the most recent 20 minutes of the terrorist’s memory, but ran through all the events that had happened to the terrorist in the past three months.

From being destitute and homeless to joining a terrorist organization under the Surrender Faction, and finally being completely brainwashed to willingly become a suicide bomber. Everything the terrorist had experienced and all the people he had seen, all this information was displayed in Su Yu’s mind.

But because the information was too complicated, even Su Yu, a Sixth-order Sacred Realm, was a bit overwhelmed. So he stood still for a long time, as if turned into a stone statue.

…

The major cultivators at the scene sensed the movement on Su Yu’s side, after a discussion, they left three or four people to protect Zhong Feng and others. The rest of the cultivators rushed towards Su Yu immediately.

Seeing the quickly executed three and a half terrorists, the major cultivators were left a bit speechless.

They had not anticipated that the location of the terrorist attack was not where Zhong Feng and others were, but in this incredible place.

If it were not for Su Yu, the terrorists might have succeeded!

“Brother Su Yu is indeed impressive, who would have thought that the terrorists would strike at such a location!” one of the major cultivators praised.

“Thanks to young friend Su Yu, if it weren’t for you, this major explosion would have been inevitable.”

“It’s truly shameful, who would have thought that the terrorists could infiltrate this far.”

“Exactly, how did the terrorists sneak in? I just sat to meditate and didn’t notice anything strange.”

…

The major cultivators generously praised Su Yu, expressing great admiration for this strongest newcomer of the younger generation.

Because of Su Yu, a major catastrophe was avoided.

…

More and more major cultivators gathered around, and security personnel from the base also appeared on the ground.

The chief of security for the base, Lin Lisong, had already arrived at the scene. However, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

The terrorists’ emergence at this location clearly indicated the failure of his security measures. He felt embarrassed to face the major cultivators in the sky and even more ashamed to face the players who had almost been exposed to dangerous situations.

About two minutes later, Su Yu had completely searched the memory of this terrorist.

Through the memory of the terrorist, Su Yu quickly learned who was the mastermind behind all this, their location, the plants they had in the army, and other information.

The mastermind behind the scenes was a very conservative middle-aged tycoon named Qi Minghao, who lived in East Sea City. His main financial backer seemed to be from America.

He was the one who paid to organize this terrorist attack.

As for the origin of the Spirit Shielding Crystals, the terrorists wore in their bodies, it couldn’t be seen from the memory of this terrorist, but most likely, they were from the Giant Skru Base in America.

…

After figuring all this out, Su Yu cupped his fist and said to the group of major cultivators gathering in the sky, “Predecessors, I have found out who the mastermind is behind all this, his name is Qi Minghao and he lives in East Sea City…”

Su Yu detailed all the important information he had learned.

After hearing Su Yu’s account, the group of major cultivators became extremely excited.

The Surrender Faction doing such a thing was equivalent to slapping their faces!

If they didn’t capture this unseen mastermind to serve justice, wouldn’t they let the scum of the Surrender Faction laugh at them?

The major cultivators didn’t wait any longer, and all rushed towards East Sea City.

…

The rest of the story doesn’t need much explanation.

Su Yu, with over 100 major cultivators, landed in East Sea City and launched a deadly attack on the Surrender Faction’s strength in East Sea City.

Qi Minghao was quickly captured and confessed to his crimes. Through him, Su Yu traced every clue and, with the support of major data provided by the authorities and the use of the godly mental theft skill, in just one day they tracked down 363 members of the Surrender Faction and captured them all at once.

Moreover, “the penalties must be heavy in troubled times.” This batch of Surrender Faction was executed by the major cultivators right away, rather than being brought to the law enforcement authorities, considering the incontrovertible evidence. After all, with the increasing tension in society, it is better not to waste police force on these people.

By noon, the influence of the Surrender Faction in East Sea City had been completely wiped out, and the use of Su Yu’s Zhongya Hourglass had not been in vain.
