Chapter 854: Wolf In Tiger's Lair (1)
Su Yu vanished into thin air as he started tailing the mysterious person. This felt quite exciting to him as this was his first time in the Allheaven Battlefield and also his first time tailing someone who was tailing him.
He had barely started feeling excited when he turned around and fled madly. He vanished into the distance at an incredible speed.
Less than three seconds later, the air warped as a figure appeared. With a smile, the newcomer said, "What a cautious kid. Interesting."
After a short while, the previous mysterious person returned. It was actually a youth with a mask. He softly asked, "Elder, is he gone?"
"Yeah." The elder said, "He's too sharp. Interesting. Let's place him in the index. There are 360 spots in the Yellow Index. He can have the 360th spot."
"Yes." The youth answered before asking, "Did he discover you, Elder?"
"Perhaps." The elder said, "A weaponsmith...how interesting. He's even someone from Great Ming. Ahhh...it has been many years since Great Ming did anything big."
After saying that, he grabbed the masked youth and vanished into thin air. Not long after, a group of armored soldiers arrived. They were clad in black armor and black helmets. The leader scanned the area with his cold eyes before snorting.
"Useless garbage, the lot of you!"
Beside him, his deputy asked gloomily, "General, are they from the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion?"
"They're from the Four Index Department. Looks like they're here to verify Cui Lang's strength." The general coldly said, "Continue the pursuit. How dare they operate in the eastern sector. We'll kill every last one of them!"
"Yes!"
The group of soldiers proceeded to vanish into thin air as well. Every single one of them was a powerful cultivator. There were multiple Mountainseas in the group, with the general and his deputy being Sunmoons. This was the group tasked with hunting Heavenly Hunt Pavilion members in the eastern sector.

Meanwhile, Su Yu, who had escaped far away, wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Fuck!
What the hell was that? Were Sunmoons so common nowadays?
Why would a Sunmoon appear right as he decided to tail a random individual? Good thing he was cautious enough to flee immediately. It also seemed like even more experts had arrived after that. If it wasn't for those experts distracting the Sunmoon, he could very well end up caught.
All his excitement at the prospect of killing to his heart's content had vanished.
Fine, fine. It was still not the time to strut around arrogantly yet. This damn Allheaven Battlefield was way too dangerous. A Sunmoon could be encountered so easily. Holy shit. People used to tell him that Sunmoons were very rare even on the Allheaven Battlefield.
Why would he encounter one not long after leaving the city? Su Yu could still feel some lingering fear in his heart. It would seem like survival was impossible here without some ability.
"Get lost!"
"You sure are rude." Huang Teng started adding some condiments on the earthdragon leg he was roasting. With a smile, he said, "I'll leave after this meal. Be careful. The Heavenly Hunt Pavilion people might be around. Try to not go further than the frontlines for now. Some devils are looking for you."
"Do you think I'm scared of them?" Wu Qi sneered and said, "That's not a bad thing. I can kill them and increase my ranking in the index."
"Looks like your body has focused a tad bit too much on growing your long hair instead of your brain."
Huang Teng shook his head, "Even someone from the original devil race is looking for you. That person can easily defeat you. Do you really think that you're a war god?"
Wu Qi sat down cross-legged and ignored him. As for Huang Teng, he crouched down with one foot in front and the other foot at the back, looking like he was getting ready for a sprint.
Wu Qi did not seem to care about that. Cultural researchers and warriors fought differently. This wasn't too surprising to see.
When Huang Teng was done roasting the earthdragon leg, he tossed a piece of roasted meat over. Wu Qi did not reject it. Nor did she care about the fact that the leg had not been washed before the roasting. She didn't even care about the taste. After taking a bite, she asked, "Huang Teng, you have been following me for two days. What is the meaning of this? Don't bother saying that you're protecting me."
Huang Teng did not answer the question immediately. He wiped his mouth with his dirty battle robe and continued eating. While chewing on the meat, he said, "There is no special meaning behind that. Someone is really targeting you. Just go back. The elder brother of the devil you killed back then is here for you. He declared that he would not spare you."
Wu Qi laughed and said, "I'll be waiting for him. I can definitely get a heavenly reward from killing him. It would be interesting if I received a natural character after killing him."
"My father said that women should stay at home and take care of their children. Why are you insisting on entering the battlefield? Someone like you won't be able to find a husband."
"..."
Wu Qi shot Huang Teng a cold glance and said, "Huang Teng, you only have the guts to say these words in front of me."
"Nope." Huang Teng's oily lips curved into a huge grin as he said, "I said the same thing many times before. Previously, I said the same thing to Deputy General Zhang. She beat me up because of that, but I didn't change my mind."
The deputy general of the Devil Subduing Army was a woman. A very ferocious woman. Wu Qi did not feel like talking to him anymore. After finishing her food, she stood up to leave.
Huang Teng hurriedly followed her. She looked at him and coldly said, "Get lost already. Huang Teng, don't create trouble for yourself."
She snorted and added, "I'm not a piece of trash like Bai Feng. If you dare to keep following me, I won't show any mercy to you."
"Bai Feng isn't that bad." Huang Teng said, "He's really quite capable. Unfortunately, he has way too many interests. If he had focused only on combat, he would be much stronger. Unfortunately, he insisted on research, slowing his own growth. Otherwise, he might be even stronger than you."
Wu Qi ignored him and flew into the sky.
Huang Teng shook his head and said, "I'm not kidding. Someone is really coming after you. That fellow is very strong. He's already a ninth-stage Cloudbreach. You won't be his match. Woman, why are you so stubborn?"
After saying that, he flew after Wu Qi.
