Chapter 923: Su Yu's Trump Card (1)

Heavendoom City.

Su Yu had retreated into a building. A short while later, Dao Cheng arrived outside. Several death spirits were still following him. He was feeling very helpless about them.

Final Armor looked at him and said, "He's trapped now. Brother Dao Cheng, I hope you can talk to the mayor now. If we can get the mayor's medallion, we will be able to unlock the doors here as well."

With the door unlocked, Su Yu would be dead. He had nowhere else to run.

After a short silence, Dao Cheng nodded, "I'll give it a try. Brother Final Armor, please keep a close watch. Don't allow Su Yu to escape."

"Don't worry."

Final Armor did not say anything else. He was a peak Mountainsea. If he allowed Su Yu to run when he was personally watching the door, then he might as well kill himself out of embarrassment.

Dao Cheng turned around and left. The death spirits also left with him. This was the cost of killing a death spirit. But it wasn't like there was no solution. He only had to remove the death qi in his body and stay away from the city for a period of time. If he waited long enough for the mark within him to disperse, the issue would resolve itself.

For now, he had no choice but to keep countering the death qi with his heavenly source qi. Before long, he reached the mayor's residence. Technically speaking, the mayor's residence was similar to any other building in the city. It was merely bigger than the rest. The entrance was wide open.

The death spirits stopped abruptly right outside the entrance. Seeing that, Dao Cheng exhaled in relief. It felt much more comfortable without them following him everywhere. It would seem like the mayor's residence was still capable of suppressing these death spirits.

Eight armored guards were standing near the entrance. They were completely still, but the moment he stepped through the entrance, they stopped him and expressionlessly said, "As per the mayor, Heavendoom City does not involve itself in the conflict between major races."

Dao Cheng frowned slightly, but he unfurled his brows immediately and said, "I do not intend to involve the mayor in the conflict. I merely wish to borrow the mayor's medallion for a short time. I will return it right after I'm done with it. I can also settle with a medallion for the eighteenth ring."

At that moment, an old man walked out in an unhurried manner. He might seem like he was walking slowly, but he was absolutely not small.

After a short moment, the old man reached the entrance. He looked at Dao Cheng and smiled, revealing his crooked teeth as he said, "As per the mayor, we do not involve ourselves in the conflicts between major races. If the immortals were to succeed in killing Su Yu with our medallion and the humans decided to avenge him, our mayor would not be able to withstand the consequences."

Dao Cheng frowned again as he said, "The immortals—"

The old man did not give him the chance to finish, "If the immortals can kill Great Qin King, Great Xia King, Great Ming King, and Great Zhou King immediately, the Heavendoom City will naturally obey all your orders unconditionally."

If the immortals couldn't kill those people, they should stop bluffing. Immortals? What even was the worth of their words? The city would remain here. Even the mystic armor race was in a better position as they had their own realm they could fall back to. That was not the case for the city and the mayor.

Dao Cheng said, "We're only asking to borrow the medallion..."

"May I suggest you kill a Mountainsea death spirit? Generally speaking, a Mountainsea death spirit will have the medallion for the eighteenth ring. You can get one yourself if you really need it."

"..."

Dao Cheng was speechless. Things were absolutely not that simple. Killing a Mountainsea death spirit might result in the appearance of a Sunmoon death spirit. And if Sunmoon death spirits could be dealt with so easily, these ancient cities would not have remained independent until now. The death qi of a Sunmoon could probably rot someone like Dao Cheng into nothingness in a split second.

"Is there no other way around this?"

The old man smiled, "Lord Immortal, we can't. You can easily leave after killing Su Yu. The mystic armors can retreat to their realm. But what about us? We are already making things easy for you by not reigning in the chaos unfolding in the city. You can't keep pushing us around, Lord Immortal. The ancient cities might be weaker than the immortal race, but there are a lot of ancient cities spread all over the Allheaven Battlefield. Why must you push the mayor? Things will only get ugly if you insist."

Su Yu was in the middle of exploring the residence. It was still daytime, so the density of death qi was much lower. Even so, the place was not completely devoid of death qi. In fact, the death qi inside this residence during the day was even denser than what one could find in the outer ring buildings during the night.

The density of the death qi here would probably rise to a terrifying level when night arrived. Sure enough, the deeper one went into the city, the thicker the death qi would be. According to Mo Duona, he had entered the eighteenth ring during his previous visit to a different ancient city.

Su Yu did not know how long Mo Duona had stayed there. At the moment, his body was still strengthening itself rapidly. He had no idea what the golden light was, but it was a lot more useful than even the heavenly source qi for body forging.

He was in no rush to cultivate or deal with the death qi in his body. Rather, he took out the index copy and started writing on it.

"Do you know about the golden light given out as heavenly rewards? I'm talking about the golden light that can help with body forging. What is that exactly?"

"You need to pay for information."

"Why are you so greedy? I'm a repeat customer. Can't I get a special treatment or something?"

After a momentary pause, a reply came, "Heavenearth profound light. It is as valuable as the sunmoon profound yellow liquid. It is very helpful for warriors."

Understanding dawned on Su Yu. Heavenearth profound light. Just from its name alone, it sounded very useful. And it had indeed been helpful for his body forging.

At that thought, he asked, "Do you sell this thing?"

"Yes."

"What's the price?"

"Heavenearth profound light can only be profounded by super experts during the precise moment when the sun, the moon, and the stars shift their position. A Sunmoon might need to wait in place for years before they can harvest even a single strand of heavenearth profound light. A drop of Sunmoon blood essence can get you a strand of heavenearth profound light from us."

"What's the price for sunmoon profound yellow liquid?"

"Three drops of Sunmoon blood essence for a drop of sunmoon profound yellow liquid."

"..."

Damn those greedy bastards!

In short, the life of one Sunmoon was worth three drops of sunmoon profound yellow liquid or ten strands of heavenearth profound light for them. He didn't even know how much heavenearth profound light there was in a single so-called strand they kept mentioning.

The Heavenly Hunt Pavilion was basically a model unscrupulous merchant. Everyone claimed that Marquis Xia was unscrupulous, but Su Yu now understood that everyone had been too mean toward Marquis Xia. Not even Marquis Xia was this greedy. He was not going to proceed with the transaction. On the bright side, he now knew the price.

He said, "I'm surrounded. What's the price to kill Final Armor? And what's the price to kill Dao Cheng?"

"Final Armor, peak Mountainsea, member of a top 100 race. This requires someone no weaker than the third-stage Sunmoon Realm to guarantee the kill. Additionally, we will offend the mystic armor race for this. We require a million merit points of the human race or other items of equivalent value to proceed with this."

"Dao Cheng, genius immortal, Earth Index genius, a descendant of an Invincible. His price is five times Final Armor's price."

"..."

Fuck!
