Tribulation of Myriad Races

Chapter 922: Trapped (3)

Meanwhile, Su Yu was too preoccupied to care about them. He was starting to reach his limit as well.

It was time to run. He gave up. He had to find an unoccupied building and take a break inside. As for the possibility of getting surrounded, there was nothing he could do about it. He couldn't last any longer out here.

The drain on his heavenly source qi was too great. He had to convert some of his blood essence into more heavenly source qi. But prior to that, he had one last thing to do. No. He wasn't going to kill more people. Instead, he was going to pick up the index copy he abandoned earlier.

He had no choice but to admit that the index copy was way too useful. Without it, he couldn't even purchase the services of the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion. No wonder the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion was so confident he would definitely pick up the index copy again.

He had only performed several transactions with them, but he could no longer live without an index copy. Even at the risk of being tracked, he was still willing to carry one on him.

With his entourage of death spirits, Su Yu traveled across the city and picked up his index copy. Nobody would bother to steal something like this. Apart from looking at the rankings and doing some transactions with the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion, one could do nothing else with it.

With the index copy in hand, Su Yu noted that someone was still tailing him. It was either Dao Cheng or Final Armor, but he couldn't be bothered to do anything about it. He continued moving rapidly. In the blink of an eye, he entered an unoccupied building designed in the style of human architecture in the eighteenth ring.

In truth, he could actually leave the city any time he wanted. But he did not choose to do so. After all, leaving the city would be more dangerous for him. Outside the city, the death spirits would stop pursuing him. And without the death spirits, Final Armor would be able to act openly against him. In the event that he was slower than Final Armor, he would be dead. After all, he still wasn't strong enough to put up a fight against a peak Mountainsea.

He was better off dragging it out in the city. Final Armor was not a resident. Even with a medallion, he wouldn't be able to last longer in the city than Su Yu, especially after the night he spent outdoors in pursuit of Su Yu. It wouldn't be too late for Su Yu to plan his escape after Final Armor left the city.

In any case, he still had plenty of heavenly source qi. This would simply turn into an endurance match.

Su Yu wasn't worried about the possibility that his enemies would ask for reinforcements. At this point, if they asked for reinforcements, he could do so as well. At the very least, he could probably get a Sunmoon from Great Ming, right? If he really had to, he could even pay the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion to help him.

In short, Su Yu knew what he was doing. By staying in the city, he would not die yet. If he left the city, death might come even faster. He was not interested in losing his physical body just to get a mere Final Armor killed. That was totally not worth it.

Outside, the death spirits gathered and started knocking on the door. Shortly after, Final Armor arrived with the others as well. Seeing the scene of Su Yu trapped in a building, he exhaled in relief.

After an entire night, this fellow had finally entered a building. And since he had entered a building, he wouldn't be able to leave so easily anymore. Above them, the sky was starting to turn bright.

With the lives of three Mountainseas, they had merely forced Su Yu into a building. Final Armor didn't even know if this was worth it. But if they could ultimately kill Su Yu...that might really be a worthy price to pay.

With that, Su Yu found himself trapped and surrounded in the eighteenth ring.

And finally, a new day arrived.

Some of the people in the city started carefully leaving their buildings to learn more about the current situation in the city. As for the experts residing in the inner rings, they were far less wary. Some even observed openly from afar. Before long, news of Su Yu being surrounded by the mystic armor race started spreading.

The news about Su Yu traveled rapidly.

Plain of Desires.

The blood-soaked Zheng Ping had just killed several experts when his voice transmission talisman shook. And when he saw the message, he was rendered speechless.

After giving Huang Teng a look, he sighed, "Su Yu is in trouble. He was trapped by a mystic armor peak Mountainsea in a building. Currently, the experts of numerous races are heading toward Heavendoom City. Why is that kid so good at stirring trouble?"

Huang Teng was surprised, "Trapped?"

He had assumed that Su Yu would be able to escape. He saw the changes in the index. Su Yu was simply terrifying. Just last night, he had killed a third-stage Mountainsea. If he had the time to kill a third-stage Mountainsea, he should be able to find the time to flee, right?

But after thinking about it, Huang Teng concluded that leaving the ancient city might lead to an earlier demise. What would he do in that position?

He laughed and said, "Teacher, should we go take a look?"

"What is there to see?" Zheng Ping rolled his eyes, "I'll first send you back to the Eastrift Valley before coming back. The road back won't be peaceful either..."

He added, "You need to be careful. For some reason, the Plain of Desires has been stoking my killing intent. Be careful lest I kill you accidentally."

The Plain of Desires was not a good place to be. Huang Teng thought about it and nodded. Fine. They should return first. At the very least, they had to send Wu Qi back first. She was on the verge of dying.

In truth, he had the itch to go and take part in the fun. After all, he was not a weakling. He too, was someone who had killed a Mountainsea before. Even if he went, he wouldn't die so easily.

At the same time.

Human Realm.

Thirteen dark figures were flying rapidly in the sky.

Umbra, the leader of the group, took out his voice transmission talisman and checked his latest message. Then, he sent a voice transmission to the rest in the group, "We need to pick up the pace. That fellow is trapped inside an ancient building. We are ordered to reach within three days."

Reaching the Heavendoom City from Great Ming within three days was an extremely difficult task. But they had no choice but to obey the order. They flew with all their strength. Six Sunmoons and seven peak Mountainseas were rushing over to rescue Su Yu.

They voiced no complaints. The peak Mountainseas grabbed onto the arms of the Sunmoons, allowing the Sunmoon to fly even faster while dragging them forward. They had to reach Heavendoom City within three days.

At the same time.

Ye Hongyan stepped out of her residence in silence. That old bastard had not contacted her for so many years. When he finally contacted her again, he was only doing so to ask for a favor: save Su Yu. When Ye Hongyan thought of that, she snorted. But inwardly, she was feeling slightly smug about it.

In the end, he still had to come begging for her help.

Su Yu? That brat was too good at creating trouble. Just how long had it been? The brat had stirred such a huge trouble in such a short period of time.

Now, the experts of the various races were starting to head toward the Heavendoom City. As a member of the multiple character faction, the kid should have learned to maintain a low profile.

But her feelings were also quite complicated. Strictly speaking, her deceased nephew was the source of all the troubles the multiple character faction had been facing. Before her nephew made his name, things were a lot more peaceful for the multiple character faction.

Ultimately, they were suffering from the actions of Ye Batian. Ye Batian was the reason the myriad races were so fearful of the multiple character faction. Ye Batian was the reason why people like Hong Tan had to act like a thief whenever they went to the Allheaven Battlefield.

And with Su Yu, a member of the multiple character faction, entering the Heaven Index, it was only natural that he would be in trouble. If he was a warrior instead, things would have been much less troublesome.

Against genius human warriors, the myriad races adopted of an attitude of killing if they could. If they couldn't, so be it. At most, the warrior would grow into an Invincible. What was the big deal about that?

People like Xia Longwu were also incredibly powerful and freakishly talented during their youth. But they had never generated such an intense reaction from the myriad races. In fact, the myriad races had only started targeting Xia Longwu much later after his rise, but that was only due to his excessive bloodlust.

Ye Hongyan and the Shadow Guard started making their way over to rescue Su Yu.

At the same time.

Human headquarters.

Great Qin King checked his latest report and said, "Ignore this. Do not interfere in affairs below the Eternal Realm. Besides, things are too complicated when an ancient city is involved. The participation of an Eternal might further complicate things."

Standing before him was his second son, also the chief commander of the Vanguard Regiment, Qin Hao.

When he heard his father's words, he solemnly asked, "Father, are those ancient cities really so dangerous?"

After a short silence, Great Qin King answered, "They're not dangerous. Rather...the ancient cities are very complicated. These ancient cities are there to suppress...some things. You don't understand. Also, the masters of the ancient cities are still there. If we interfere rashly, we might provoke the ire of the ancient cities. Only those below the Eternal Realm can get involved in this."

Qin Hao said, "Maybe I can lead a team from the Vanguard Regiment over."

Great Qin King sternly said, "The Vanguard Regiment can't be moved. They need to guard the Eastrift Valley. We will lose even more if our defensive line at the Eastrift Valley is broken through."

"Then...are we supposed to abandon Su Yu?"

That was the top genius of the multiple character faction. Qin Hao couldn't bring himself to ignore Su Yu.

Great Qin King said, "It's fine. I think that fellow is there...Well, Su Yu will have to rely on himself. If he stirred so much trouble without the ability to preserve his life, he would be nothing but a fool. And a fool is not worth our time."

If he wasn't capable of dealing with the consequences, why did he stir so much trouble in the first place? Great Qin King would not interfere unless some other Invincibles decided to get involved.

At that thought, he said, "I'll be going out on a patrol during the next few days and stop the experts rushing over from the various races. As for the rest of the trouble he's in...he will need to learn to shoulder the consequences of his own actions."

Most of the time, Invincibles would not involve themselves in such matters. A war between Invincibles would have broken out long ago otherwise. As for Su Yu's fate, that would depend on himself and the actions of Great Ming and Great Xia. There was nothing much Great Qin King could do.

In any case, Great Qin King was confident that Su Yu would be fine. A few days ago, he sensed the presence of a certain individual. That individual seemed to be heading in Su Yu's direction as well. With that person around, Su Yu should be fine. Qin Hao had no choice but to nod. Since his father had decided, there was nothing he could do.
