Chapter 596: Leaving Great Xia (3)

Su Yu said nothing. He was looking for the case he saw when reading the dead sect master's memories. The sect master had placed a lot of importance on that case. Before long, he saw the case on an unremarkable shelf. It looked exactly the same as what he saw.

He walked over and picked the case up. It was heavy, but it also looked quite crude and simple. The case seemed to be made of profound iron. He tried opening it, but he failed.

When Zhu Tiandao took a look at the case, he exclaimed in astonishment, "Dragon's horn?"

"What?"

"Dragon's horn is the hardest part of a dragon. And this case was made of dragon's horn. I nearly missed this case. This horn probably came from a Sunmoon dragon."

With a casual wave of his hand, the outer layer of profound iron fell apart, revealing the golden inner layer.

"What manner of treasure is in this case that they need to forge a case with dragon's horn to preserve it? A dragon's horn is an excellent material for weaponsmithing."

Even Zhu Tiandao was starting to get curious.

After taking a look at the case, Su Yu asked, "Prefect, can you open this case?"

"Yeah." After thinking about it, Zhu Tiandao said, "But opening it with force might end up damaging the item within. A Sunmoon had personally set up a seal on the case. If you let me keep it for about half a month, I can slowly grind the seal off. If you do it yourself, you will need around half a year."

"I see."

Su Yu then kept the case inside the storage ring he had just obtained from Zhao Tianbing.

Zhu Tiandao: "..."

Holy shit! Didn't he say that he only needed half a month? What was the meaning of this? He was very curious about the contents of the case as well! Why did the kid put the case away?

Su Yu said nothing. He started putting away all the items in the cave into his storage ring and one-use storage talismans. He didn't have the time to slowly go over these items. He could do that after settling down in Great Ming. In any case, he was sure that there was quite a lot of good stuff here.

For example, there was an entire chest of earthly source fruit in the cave. There were also numerous high-quality materials for weaponsmithing in the cave. After putting everything away, he walked out of the cave.

A lot of corpses were still waiting for him outside. At the moment, all the corpses had already been piled together.

The cloud tiger, fox, and barbaric bull were powerful beasts. Thus, their corpses were quite valuable. Su Yu did not hesitate to ask, "Prefect, can we take these corpses back with us?"

"Sure." Zhu Tiandao manifested a character and kept all the beast corpses inside. He smiled and said, "The Xia Family did not take these corpses with them earlier. Be careful lest they return for them."

"These are your spoils of war, Prefect!"

Su Yu started gathering his spoils of war in silence. After he was done, he released a beam of source qi toward the corpses and burned them to ashes. Then, he turned to look in Nanyuan's direction.

Today, he would leave.

Today, he would officially join Great Ming.

Zhu Tiandao and the Zhu Family were a lot more generous than he had thought. It was possible that they were pretending, but for now, his sole choice was to join Great Ming.

"Great Xia...Great Xia Cultural Research Academy..."

Finally, Su Yu hopped onto the suanni's beast and said, "Let's go. Tiandu is our next destination."

Today, Su Yu officially defected to Great Ming.

Today, everyone was shocked.

A super genius of Great Xia, Su Yu, had defected from Great Xia. Or to be precise, he had been forced to leave.

He traveled south, crossed the Starfall Mountain, and stopped at the city nearest to the mountain before releasing a video. The contents of that video shocked the entire Human Realm.

On that day itself, hundreds of thousands of people saw that video. A massive battle had erupted on the Starfall Mountain.

A Sunmoon and numerous Mountainseas of the single character faction had colluded with the Myriad Race Cult and the dao protectors of the myriad race students of the Great Xia Cultural Research Academy to kill Su Yu.

All by himself, Su Yu killed multiple Cloudbreach cultivators. The battle ended with Zhu Tiandao's arrival. Great Ming's Zhu Family made a move, killing two Sunmoons and more than ten Mountainseas.

The world was shocked.

Only the battle during the death of the fifth principal fifty years ago could match the number of casualties in this battle. A lot of content had been edited out of the video. For example, the part where the devil had forced Yu Hong and the others to submit had been removed. Thus, the video gave everyone the impression that Jin Yuhui and the devil had been in cahoots from the very beginning.

The principal of the Nine Heavens Cultural Research Academy had betrayed humanity. Yu Hong and numerous elders had betrayed humanity. An elder from Great Shang had betrayed humanity. The cloud tiger elder and the other myriad race elders had also betrayed humanity.

This scandal of Great Xia spread all over the Human Realm before slowly spreading outside the Human Realm as well. This was a massive scandal. With so many of their upper echelons betraying them at once, Great Xia's prestige fell.

A top three prefecture that was known as a militaristic and strict prefecture, an incomparably glorious prefecture, had transformed into a joke. Numerous criticisms were levied against them.

The people of Great Xia who were still immensely proud of Su Yu the day before no longer dared to mention his name. As for those cultivating the Acupoint Fusion Art, they didn't even know what to feel anymore.

A genius of Great Xia had been attacked by countless experts, ultimately forced to escape from Great Xia and seek asylum in Great Ming. This was a disgrace.
