Chapter 1027: Spreading Tremors (3)
At the same time.
Near Eastrift Valley.
Great Qin King abruptly opened his eyes and looked toward Sea of Stars.
Qin Hao was asking for help. What was going on? According to the rumors, an ancient corpse was being auctioned there. But Great Qin King did not think that they would be able to win the auction. He knew very well how poor they were. But...what manner of trouble was Qin Hao in?
Did his kid decide to rob the corpse and end up trapped in the ancient city? Yes. That was the first thing he thought his son would do. But...his son wasn't supposed to be strong enough to do something like that. Supposedly, a lot of high-stage Sunmoons were there as well. But those people wouldn't dare to kill Qin Hao without reason.
Great Qin King frowned slightly. Should he go? But he needed to guard the borders.
At that moment, a certain aura rose not far away. Great Ming King spoke, "Old Qin, I need to pay Sea of Stars a visit."
"You're going as well?"
Great Ming King blanked out. As well?
He asked in astonishment, "You're going as well?"
"Qin Hao asked for help."
"Guangshen asked for help as well."
Silence descended as the two Invincibles looked at each other in dismay. Was it possible that their juniors had joined hands to rob that Tianduo? At that moment, Great Qin King received a new update. After checking the newly arrived information, he said, "Tianduo is dead...did those two kill Tianduo and snatch the corpse?"
As far as they were concerned, that was the most likely possibility. Great Ming King nodded in agreement. How brazen.
Suddenly, a different Invincible exclaimed not far away. With an index copy in hand, he asked, "There's an update from the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion. Did the two of you receive a call for help?"
"Yeah. What did you learn from the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion, Old Tang?"
Great Tang King sent a voice transmission to all Invincibles in the area, "Something big might have happened. Tianduo...no, Su Yu...no, disguised as Tianduo, Su Yu auctioned an ancient Invincible corpse to the divines and scammed 2,300 strands of heavenearth profound light from them before killing the real Tianduo and vanishing right before dozens of Sunmoons. Grandstar City has fallen into chaos with numerous death spirits appearing. The city has also been sealed..."
Yes. Heavenly Hunt Pavilion was able to transmit information out of the ancient city even when the city was sealed. All the human Invincibles were shocked.
A burly figure appeared with a somewhat helpless expression. He said, "I'll go with Old Zhu. Old Qin, you'll continue standing guard here."
Great Xia King had appeared.
Great Ming King nodded in agreement. He was still in a state of stupefaction. Su Yu...scammed dozens of Sunmoons and vanished right before them...how many strands of heavenearth profound light did he scam?
And he was proven right! Even a statue like him could see this happening. It was indeed that little troublemaker! Just look at Grandstar City! The city had been sealed. He was right!
"Will the Soul Devourer Pseudo Emperor be there as well?"
Just as he was thinking about that, he felt two powerful auras flying by. These were familiar auras. They belonged to the two human Eternals: Great Xia King and Great Ming King.
Sure enough, even the humans were making a move. Well, well. It would seem like a battle between Eternals might break out in Grandstar City. That seemed like it would be quite an interesting show to watch.
In fact, the stone statue had the urge to latch onto the two human Eternals with some of his willpower to enjoy the show. But ultimately, he refrained from doing so. That wouldn't be an easy feat to accomplish. Furthermore, Grandstar might turn furious from sheer embarrassment after learning that he was there to enjoy the show.
Thus, the stone statue shut his eyes again. He had decided to calmly wait for further updates. Would things grow even more chaotic? He also noticed that when the chaos was erupting somewhere else instead of his own place, he would actually feel quite good.
He even started praying that the little troublemaker would visit all the ancient cities and let them have a taste of what he experienced not long ago. What an impressive little troublemaker.

Not long after.
Human Realm.
Great Xia Cultural Research Academy.
Wan Tiansheng noted that several of his voice transmission talismans were shaking. When he checked them...
He staggered from the sheer shock he was feeling.
"I—"
"This..."
"Fuck!"
A shrill shout rang out in his room. Was this real? Was the future he saw really something that would unfold in the Human Realm? Could that brat even return alive? He was starting to wonder if he had been shown a fake future. There was no way that brat could survive this.
That lunatic. That madman. Su Yu was a lot crazier than both Ye Batian and Xia Longwu combined. Which Cloudbreach would have the courage to scam an Invincible? And the brat had done more than that. He had scammed multiple Invincibles and a bunch of Sunmoons.
"2,300 strands of heavenearth profound light..."
Wan Tiansheng gasped in shock. How rich. If the brat could survive this, would he still need to ever worry about cultivation resources ever again?
"Can he really return alive?"
He greatly doubted that.
