Chapter 939: An Exchange Across Time And Space (3)
At the same time.
Inside the mayor's residence, the stone statue opened his eyes again. He looked somewhere with an odd expression. An ancient memory seemed to have awoken in his mind.
He was somewhat speechless.
Holy shit!
Was that fellow crazy? That damn fellow returned to a point hundreds of years in the past just to tell him that? His gaze landed somewhere in the city. His eyes shone, sending a beam of light toward the door of that building.
The three Sunmoon death spirits suddenly stopped their attempts at breaking through the door and looked toward the mayor's residence. After a moment, they left. The stone statue's gaze penetrated the building to land on the little furball. Wasn't that the same soul devourer Su Yu brought to the city? This was a descendant of the Pseudo Emperor?
Then again, that wasn't too surprising. There weren't a lot of soul devourers around. How impressive. The ancient Pseudo Emperor had actually produced a descendant. He had thought that this little furball was from a different lineage.
Finally, the stone statue shut his eyes again. These fellows were so noisy.
The Pseudo Emperor of the soul devourers was so old that it felt like his memories were failing him. Was he staying in his realm because he couldn't leave? Or was he simply unwilling to leave?
Soon, the stone statue threw the matter to the back of his mind. These troubles needed to end soon. He was feeling greatly annoyed. Why were all these bastards creating all sorts of troubles here? He had already turned into stone. Couldn't they stop bothering him?
***
And thus, a rescue operation spanning time and space was completed. Nobody knew about it.
When the little furball noted that the sense of danger had vanished, he started bothering the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion again. As for the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion, they were finding this unknown individual increasingly annoying with his stream of bizarre questions.
At this time, Su Yu had received the message from the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion. He was surprised. Did the little furball encounter danger?
He noticed something else. Due to the thick death qi, voice transmission talismans were no longer working in the city. But the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion did not seem to have such trouble. No wonder the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion was such an excellent information peddler. Everyone else was probably still clueless as to what was happening in the city.
But the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion was probably receiving constant updates about the ongoings in the city.
"Should I go out?"
Su Yu was still quite worried. Would it be troublesome if he somehow encountered the three Sunmoon death spirits outside? Whatever. He decided to go out anyway.
He would not have the initiative if he remained in the building. And if he waited until the myriad race experts arrived, he wouldn't be able to leave anymore.
He also noticed Dao Cheng's new accomplishment through the index. He could guess that Silver Armor was the victim. That kill might allow Dao Cheng to enter the Mountainsea Realm. But he wasn't too bothered.
He was more than happy to see all the mystic armors here dead. Served them right for giving him so much trouble. The mystic armor race would probably feel terrible after losing one Sunmoon, six Mountainseas, and two young geniuses. The Mystic Armor Realm as a whole was probably even weaker than Great Xia.
This wasn't surprising. The human race was not weak, and Great Xia was one of the strongest human prefectures. And even Great Xia would be pained by the loss of one Sunmoon and six Mountainseas. Back when Su Yu caused the deaths of those people from the single character faction, Great Xia's overall strength had actually weakened slightly.
Su Yu was happy to see the mystic armor race in pain. They should lose even more people.
Su Yu inhaled deeply as he prepared to move out. After exhausting a large amount of heavenly source qi, the injuries inflicted on his body by the death qi had been healed. Shortly after, he reversed his acupoints and turned his source qi into death qi. It was time for him to leave.
Su Yu said, "Hurry up or I won't be giving you anything nice to eat."
"Passcode accepted."
The little furball opened the door. He was sure that this was Yummy. Only Yummy knew how much he loved eating. With the door open, the faint glimmer attached to the door by the stone statue dispersed into nothingness.
Neither Su Yu nor the little furball noticed that. Right after the door was opened, the little furball shot into Su Yu's sea of willpower. Inside, he complained, "Yummy, a baddie knocked on the door earlier. That was so scary."
"Nonsense!"
Su Yu was not buying that. It must have been a weak death spirit. This was only the eighteenth ring. A Sunmoon death spirit would have no trouble getting through the door. If it was a Sunmoon death spirit, how would the door remain locked until now?
"I'm not lying!"
"Yeah, yeah."
Su Yu couldn't even be bothered to argue. He shut the door and started moving away. Everyone knew this was his building. It would be absolutely unwise for him to remain here. With the little furball in his sea of willpower, Su Yu transformed into a death spirit again.
He was heading deeper into the city. All the people who were still alive were probably staying in the inner rings. But they wouldn't be able to stay indoors for long. After all, the death qi of the inner rings were too thick. It was only a matter of time before they were forced to leave.
Perhaps he could wait outside some of these buildings and look for a chance to kill them just as they were leaving. Even if that didn't work, it did not matter. At this point, nobody would dare to stop him from leaving anymore. He was better off looking for a way to leave the city instead. It would be a lot more troublesome if he ended up trapped in the city.
If the city gates were still open, he would have left by now. As for Dao Cheng and his other targets, it was fine to let them live a bit longer. There was no rush. To kill, he had to first preserve his own life.
Before long, the massive mayor's residence entered his vision. Right at that moment, Su Yu noticed some movements from a large building near the mayor's residence. He blanked out. He was about to head straight into the mayor's residence, but someone was actually delivering themselves to him? In that case, it would be impolite for him to refuse this gift.
He raised his saber and aimed it at the door. The moment the door opened, he would cut the person behind it down...no, wait. He should first see who it was before doing so. It would be awkward if the person behind the door ended up being Qin Fang.
The door swung open, revealing a large bull who was slowly rotting away from death qi erosion.
Immediately after.
Whoosh!
A blade was swung, and a head was severed.
Su Yu put the corpse into his storage ring and muttered with surprise, "A second-stage Mountainsea mountainbreak bull?"
How lucky. He loved this race.
Then, he continued moving toward the mayor's residence. This place might be extremely dangerous due to the existence of the mayor, who was a ninth-stage Sunmoon, but he had no choice. At this rate, the city would end up surrounded by Sunmoons. He had to leave before that.
Before long, he reached the mayor's residence. Once again, the stone statue in the inner hall opened his eyes with exhaustion. He had already turned into stone. Why was peace and tranquility still so elusive?
This human...and that soul devourer were both troublemakers.
Just piss off already.
