Chapter 962: Return To The City (3)

Liu Wenyan was able to enter the city without any issues.

Su Yu had entered the city even earlier. The three-day limit of his teleportation talismans had yet to end. But after some calculation, he noted that he only had about seven or eight hours left. Thus, he had to leave before his time was up. To be safe, he should even leave within five hours.

***

The moment Su Yu stepped into the city.

The stone statue opened his eyes.

Holy shit!

He cursed inwardly. That little shit was back!

Damn it!

If the little shit was going to return, why leave in the first place? The stone statue's good mood was completely ruined. He was furious. He only wanted to enjoy his peace as a stone statue. Why was the little shit back?

So many Sunmoons had arrived this time. Was the kid planning to kill those Sunmoons as well?

The stone statue shut his eyes speechlessly. Whatever. Out of sight, out of mind.

***

Ignoring the remaining death qi in the city, the Sunmoons who had entered started acting according to their agreement. They split up and surrounded the inner rings starting from the eighteenth ring.

One of the Sunmoon coldly announced, "Nobody is allowed to go beyond the eighteenth ring."

As for the outer rings, the Sunmoons had already completed a rough scan. They did not notice any occupied buildings apart from those occupied by residents. Unless Su Yu was already a resident, they were sure that he wasn't in the outer rings.

But the inner rings were much harder to check. The buildings of the inner rings were a lot more mysterious. All of them, the mayor's residence included, were shrouded in a layer of death qi. It was very hard for them to see through the walls of these buildings.

Furthermore, the city wasn't completely devoid of death qi. Some death spirits were still in the city.

The Sunmoons had to start performing a detailed scan of each ring starting from the eighteenth ring. The thick death qi of the inner rings would further complicate their search. Thus, one of these rings would be the optimal place for Su Yu to hide himself.

It didn't matter. They were confident that with so many Sunmoons here, escaping would merely be a dream for Su Yu. The strongest ones among them, such as Ming He, were even ignoring the death qi and flew straight to the depths of the city.

One Sunmoon after another released their incomparably powerful aura. The entire city was shrouded in an intense pressure generated from the auras of all these Sunmoons. They were determined to kill Su Yu.

Numerous ideas emerged in his mind.

He continued roaming the streets as a death spirit.

Meanwhile, the numerous miserable-looking young geniuses started leaving their buildings.

They would die if they remained in the city any longer. Qin Fang was one of them. He was stealthily moving away when he met the gaze of a Sunmoon.

With an odd look in his eyes, the Sunmoon said, "Wait near one of the gates. After verifying that you're not Su Yu in disguise, you will be allowed to leave."

All the other geniuses were accorded the same treatment. As Su Yu had a history of disguising himself as Cui Lang, everyone had to be inspected before leaving. Qin Fang nodded obediently. He had no choice but to be obedient with so many Sunmoons around.

Mounted atop his flying sky tiger that was on the verge of turning into a dead tiger, he rode toward the outer rings. That was his current priority. He didn't know what Su Yu was up to. He only knew that the city had been silent during the past two days.

Apart from Qin Fang, numerous young geniuses and experts were also heading toward the city gates.

In the outer rings, a Sunmoon yelled, "Those who were already in the city before this, wait near the gates. After verifying your identities, you will be allowed to leave. Do not leave without permission."

No exception was given to anyone. They were very determined to kill Su Yu.

"Verification at the gates?"

Su Yu's heart thumped. Yeah, there would be Sunmoons near the gates. Why must he head toward the inner rings? He could simply kill the ones near the gates. Just by killing one, Mo He and the others would probably enter the city themselves without any effort from Ye Hongyan and the other humans.

There were simply too many Sunmoons in the inner rings for him to deal with. Should he...wait near the city gates?

With that realization, Su Yu started moving toward the gates.

Qin Fang was in the middle of rushing toward the gates when he noticed a death spirit rushing behind him. He cursed inwardly, furious that a mere Skysoar death spirit was actually chasing after him.

He swore if this death spirit was still there when he was at the gates, he would stab that damn death spirit to death with his spear before leaving. No, wait, he should go through the verification process before doing that.

Meanwhile, Su Yu was completely unbothered by what Qin Fang was thinking. Yes, he noticed Qin Fang as well.

What a pitiful fellow.

He only had one thing to ask of Qin Fang: don't cause him any trouble. This fellow had entered the city a few days ago. Instead of killing anyone or accomplishing a single thing, he had nearly gotten himself eroded to death. In fact, he looked so miserable that even Su Yu was starting to pity him.

Before long, Su Yu was back near the city gates. Sure enough, two Sunmoons were there, watching over the nine gates and preventing anyone from leaving. The nine gates weren't actually that far from each other. Thus, the two Sunmoons could easily watch over all of them from the same spot.

Su Yu’s chance had arrived.
