"Yellow List!" The shopkeeper was shocked.
The Huang Ranking, one of the four major contribution rankings!
With a shiver, the shopkeeper immediately walked around the counter and bowed respectfully. "Greetings, my lord."
All those who entered the Huang Rankings were people who had made great contributions to the Dayu Dynasty. They had extraordinary statuses and were revered by others.
A small shopkeeper was naturally a level lower in front of a yellow-roll examiner.
The corners of Empress Ziwei's lips curled upwards. "How about it? Do I have the qualifications to fulfill the requirements I just mentioned? "
The shopkeeper revealed an awkward expression and said hesitantly, "Sir, can you change your request?"
Hmm? Empress Ziwei raised her brows, and her expression turned cold. "What? How could the Contribution Hall reject the request of a Huang Ranking Contributor? Is it because I'm an extraterrestrial being? "
"No, I wouldn't dare, it's just that …" The shopkeeper was in a difficult position. How could Xuan Zhi not have a backer if he was able to become an important immigration inspector?
He was the son of Prince Bei Xin, one of the guests behind the scenes of Bei Wang Chen.

Empress Ziwei sneered coldly. "Rumor has it that the Great Yu Civilization's monarch is trying his best to rule the Great Yu Civilization and invited beings from other civilizations to contribute. Hehe, it turns out that he only wants them to contribute and doesn't allow them to exchange for the rewards they deserve. What a joke."
"I will publicize this matter and let the living beings from the outside see the true face of the Great Yu Civilization!"
Hearing this, the manager immediately begged for mercy, "Madam, please spare this lowly officer. Please don't. If I cause any repercussions and the dynasty investigates this matter, even if I have ten heads, it will not be enough."
The Dayu Empire, which prided itself on welcoming living beings from other civilizations, had the scandal of the Yellow Roll Contributors not being able to exchange for their items. What would the other living beings from other civilizations think?
Once it caused a bad influence, as the main culprit, the shopkeeper would definitely be held accountable by the Eastern Royal Family.
"Then what are you waiting for?" Empress Ziwei flicked the nameplate with her finger and said coldly.
The shopkeeper bitterly clenched his teeth and looked at Xuan Zhi, "Please wait!"
Xuan Zhi had already walked to the entrance of the Redemption Hall, and he heard everything that was happening behind him.
Knowing that Su Yu and the other three had become members of the Yellow List after ten days, they were as shocked as they could be.
However, Xuan Zhi was enraged when he heard Empress Ziwei's request.
Turning his head, Xuan Zhi scolded angrily, "I'm Dynasty's prosecutor, responsible for the peace of Dynasty. I've been working diligently for many years and have made countless contributions to Dynasty. You're just a barbarian from a non-star civilization. What right do you have to remove me from my position?"
Empress Ziwei ignored him and stared at the shopkeeper. "What are you waiting for?"
The shopkeeper sighed helplessly and said with an indifferent expression on his face, "Xuan Zhi, as the exchange officer of the Contribution Points Exchange Office, I'm informing you that due to the request of the 1030th Huang Leaderboard member, you have to submit your resignation within five days!"
"Scram!"
Xuan Zhi was so angry that his face turned red. "I'm a meritorious subject of the Dayu Empire. What right does a foreign barbarian have to decide my fate?"
The position of prosecutor was an official position that he had worked hard to obtain.
Because of this, who knew how many grudges had been formed and how great of a price had they paid?
But now, it was like a bolt from the blue. His official position was actually revoked?
The shopkeeper frowned. "The prestige of the Contribution Hall cannot be challenged."
He returned to the counter and opened the huge communication crystal ball hidden deep inside the counter. He sent a message into it.
"The Contribution Hall of the Duke of Beixin's fief requests to forcefully execute the request of the 1030th Huang Leaderboard member and remove Xuan Zhi from all his official positions."
This crystal ball was directly connected to the Eastern royal family. There were members of the royal family who were responsible for handling such information.
Xuan Zhi was enraged. "How dare you …"
Crack!
Almost at this moment, a muffled sound came from Xuan Zhi's chest.
He stretched out his hand and took out a nameplate that had shattered into thumb-sized pieces.
That was his official nameplate.
Now that it had shattered, it meant that he had been stripped of his official position as the Border Prosecutor.
In just a few breaths, Xuan Zhi was personally removed from his official position by the Eastern royal family.
Xuan Zhi was at a loss. He had a feeling that everything was unreal. He almost suspected that he was dreaming.
"Honorable Lord, what other requests do you have?" The shopkeeper cast a pitiful gaze at Xuan Zhi.
In the Dayu Civilization where contributions were king, whoever contributed more would be the undefeatable king.
With a single thought, one could control the fate of a low-level contributor.
Xuan Zhi could get whatever he wanted in the Beixin Monarch's fief, but so what?
A yellow roll contributor could take away his most precious official position with a single thought.
Empress Ziwei sneered coldly. "So this old thing is just a normal citizen?"
"Yes!" the shopkeeper replied.
Empress Ziwei clenched her fists and bumped them together. A cold smile appeared on her face. "Then, as an outsider, attacking him is not against any of the Dayu Civilization's laws?"
"This …" The shopkeeper was surprised. "Yes."
Xuan Zhi came to his senses and happened to hear this. He was enraged. "Barbarian, what else do you want?"
She had stripped him of his official position, yet she still wanted to attack him? She was going too far!
However, he had never thought about how he had gone too far when he had made things difficult for them when he had just entered the realm.
"Hehe, you keep calling me a barbarian. As a barbarian, I really want to see just how strong a civilized person like you is!" Empress Ziwei raised her brows as she quickly formed a seal with her hands.
"Meteorite Ice Tribulation!"
An icy planet wrapped in terrifying cold air descended with a loud rumble.
Xuan Zhi laughed angrily. "A mere Golden Overlord dares to attack me? You overestimate yourself!"
He formed a seal with his hands and also unleashed a powerful divine technique.
The two techniques collided and annihilated each other.
Xuan Zhi abruptly retreated three steps and spat out a mouthful of divine blood.
The divine blood was completely frozen, just like his body, which was covered in frost.
Shock appeared in his eyes. He had unleashed his full power, but he was injured instead!
"Barbarian, no wonder you dare to be so arrogant. So you have something to rely on," Xuan Zhi shouted. "But so what? What can you do to me?"
However, a mocking smile appeared on Empress Ziwei's face as she said in a low voice, "Explode."
Boom!
The fragments of the icy star, which had already been destroyed, suddenly exploded. Terrifying cold air gushed out from within, pouring out in torrents.
Xuan Zhi was caught off guard, and his entire body was frozen by the frost energy, turning him into an ice sculpture.
"Hehe, so this is a civilized person?" Empress Ziwei walked over and said mockingly, "You're nothing more than this!"
"Piss off!" Empress Ziwei shouted as she kicked the ice sculpture away.
Bang!
Xuan Zhi was kicked out of the palace and into the bustling market.
The spectators were all shocked.
"That stunning woman, which star civilization did she come from? A Golden Overlord defeated a Mystic Crystal Overlord like Xuan Zhi. Unbelievable! "
"She's from a non-star civilization!"
"How can this be? How did a non-star civilization give birth to such a powerful female prodigy? She's almost comparable to the nine great Great Void Hidden Dragons of Bei Xin Territory! "
Great Void Hidden Dragon was the highest honor obtained by the younger generation of Bei Xin Territory.
Every hundred years, the Monarch of Bei Xin's fief would select the nine strongest prodigies and grant them the title of Great Void Hidden Dragon.
Once they became a Great Void Hidden Dragon, they would be fought over by all the forces in the fief. Even the princes of the Monarch of Bei Xin would keep throwing olive branches at them.
Empress Ziwei's performance was stunning, and she received unanimous approval.
Xuan Zhi lost all face under everyone's gaze, and he shouted angrily, "A bunch of barbarians, just you wait, I'll make sure you all die a horrible death!"
As Bei Wang Chen's guest behind the scenes, he believed that Bei Wang Chen would not stand by and watch such humiliation!
"Hey!" Ignoring the gazes of the crowd, Empress Ziwei returned. As she passed by Su Yu, she complained, "Why did you stand by and watch?"
Su Yu replied calmly, "Isn't it enough for you to handle it alone?"
In his eyes, a pair of silvery-white pupils slowly disappeared, and no one paid attention to them.
If Empress Ziwei had been in danger just now, he would have been the next one to strike.
"Humph!" Flicking her hair, Empress Ziwei said proudly, "I really wonder if your high combat power is real!"
Su Yu was speechless, and he walked to the counter silently.
"I'd like to exchange for a one-year stay." Su Yu took out his Yellow List nameplate.
The shopkeeper said respectfully, "Dear customer, according to the rules, foreign residents who obtain the Yellow List nameplate will automatically renew their stay for ten years, and there's no need to exchange for it again."
Is that so? That saves me some trouble.
"Alright." Su Yu waved his hand and led Empress Ziwei and the other two out of the Contribution Hall. They arrived at the remote inn where they usually stayed.
Along the way, many unknown forces tailed them, but they managed to shake them off.
Inside the inn, the four of them sat in a circle.
Su Yu sighed. "We've wasted ten days to get to the point. Everyone, please take out the jade pieces given to us by the Chief Pavilion Master."
Four jade pieces were taken out and placed together.
The jade pieces contained information about the cauldron that the Chief Pavilion Master wanted.
After reading the information, the expressions of the four of them changed, becoming very serious.
Empress Ziwei was a little surprised. "The Chief Pavilion Master wants us to infiltrate the Taixu Faction and steal their treasure, the Beixin Royal Cauldron?"
Rumor had it that the first emperor of the Eastern Kingdom built the Dayu civilization. In order to stabilize the fate of the nation, he gathered the stars of the Nine Heavens and forged ten royal cauldrons, which were distributed in the ten great fiefdoms of the Dayu Empire.
The royal cauldron in the Beixin fiefdom was the Beixin Royal Cauldron, which stabilized the fate of the nation.
The Chief Pavilion Master wanted them to steal the cauldron?
Needless to say, the importance of the ten royal cauldrons was obvious. Each one was bound to be protected by a powerful force.
It would be extremely difficult to steal the royal cauldrons.
Xue Guanyin's expression was a little ugly. "Just reaching the Taixu Faction is already fraught with danger, and the probability of success is extremely low. How is it possible for us to steal the royal cauldrons?"
The Merciless Saber Emperor's face was as pale as paper.
"The Beixin Royal Cauldron … It's impossible. I once heard my father say that every royal cauldron is personally guarded by a King, and the strength of any King is no less than the Divine Warriors of Heaven and Earth." The Merciless Saber Emperor was close to despair. "Unless we have the strength to fight the Divine Warriors of Heaven and Earth, there is no hope."
Looking at the jade pieces, everyone remembered that the Chief Pavilion Master had each sealed one of his divine techniques in it.
Now that they thought about it, it might have been used to steal the royal cauldrons.
Su Yu also felt that it would be difficult, but he had promised the Chief Pavilion Master that he would do his best to help.
"If we plan carefully, we might be able to succeed," Su Yu said.
Empress Ziwei believed his words for no reason and blurted out, "What plan do you have?"
When she came to her senses, she turned her face away and snorted. "Don't think I will believe you."
Su Yu was already used to her attitude. He said to himself, "There is too little information at hand to plan in detail. I believe that once we reach the Taixu Faction, there might be enough information to use."
Blood Guanyin's white and tender ears shook. Hearing that Su Yu was planning to plot again, she was a little excited. "The Taixu Faction is located in the southernmost part of the fief.
There is a door that runs through the void and the Dayu Empire, so it is called the Taixu Faction. Outside the door is the Dayu Empire, and inside the door is a lone island. The island is surrounded by nothingness, and only the Taixu Faction can reach it.
"The lone island claims to be one entity, undisturbed by the outside world. It is extremely rich in spiritual objects, nurturing many powerful ferocious beasts, and also a powerful living creature, the bloodline of the Beixin King!"
Hearing this, Su Yu suddenly understood.
Behind the Taixu Faction was the ancestral land of the Beixin King!
"It is said that the Beixin Royal Cauldron was placed on that lone island, guarded by the retired Beixin Kings." Blood Guanyin explained everything she knew in detail.
After listening, Su Yu said, "Then let's go to the Taixu Faction first, and then plot the royal cauldron behind the door."
The four of them discussed it on the spot.
There were only two ways to reach the Taixu Faction.
One was the Ghost Marsh, which people said was a place of no return.
The other was the Cloud Ladder to the Heavenly Realm.
The Ghost Swamp had existed for a very long time. Its birth was due to a huge internal strife in the past.
The Great Yu Civilization absorbed many foreign civilizations, and one of them was called the Green Ghost Civilization.
After tens of thousands of years, everyone thought that the Green Ghost Civilization had been assimilated. Who would have thought that the leader of the Green Ghost Civilization would lead the Green Ghost Civilization to rebel, attempting to overthrow the Eastern Royal Family and take control of the entire Great Yu Civilization.
It turned out that the Green Ghost Civilization had been plotting this ever since they joined the Great Yu Civilization.
They wanted to take over the Great Yu Civilization and allow the Green Ghost Civilization to digest the Great Yu Civilization and become a two-and-a-half-star civilization.
They quickly occupied one-third of the Dayu Empire's territory, and their momentum was extremely great.
The Eastern Royal Family mobilized the entire nation's power to besiege the Green Ghost Civilization.
In this battle, the terrifying foundation of the Eastern Royal Family was revealed. The Green Ghost Civilization couldn't even withstand a single blow and was forced to retreat.
The leader of the Green Ghost civilization, the Green Ghost Emperor, and the core members of the civilization were trapped in the Hundred Thousand Mountains and mercilessly suppressed by the Eastern Royal Family.
Their corpses shattered, and their divine blood flooded the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
As time passed, the divine blood corroded the Hundred Thousand Mountains, turning them into a muddy swamp.
Occasionally, living creatures would pass by, and they would often hear horrifying ghost cries and see blurry ghostly shadows.
Furthermore, very few of those who entered the swamp were able to return.
Therefore, the swamp was called the Ghost Swamp.
The Ghost Swamp was vast and covered almost half of the northern land. The Great Void Gate was located in the center of the Ghost Swamp.
To travel on land, the only way was to cross the Ghost Swamp.
The Cloud Ladder had an even more ancient origin. It was set up by the first king of the Great Yu Civilization.
It was a Cloud Ladder that led directly to the Great Void Gate.
All the living creatures stepped on light clouds and headed to the Great Void Gate.
Along the way, the Cloud Ladder would pass by an ancient city in the clouds. There were all kinds of unimaginable traps and dangerous places in the city. They were all set up by the first king of the Great Void Gate and were extremely powerful.
Ordinary people couldn't pass through at all.
Even the descendants of King Beixin might not be able to avoid all the traps.
The degree of danger was no less than that of the Ghost Swamp.
After analyzing the situation, Su Yu and the other three chose to travel through the Ghost Swamp.
The reason was simple. Compared to the traps and dangerous places, the dangers in the Ghost Swamp gave them more room to maneuver.
Their combined strength was more suitable for the Ghost Swamp.
After the discussion, the four of them set off immediately.
However, as soon as they left the inn, they were stopped by a group of guards in embroidered robes.
Su Yu was familiar with one of them.
"We meet again." A clear, elegant, and condescending voice fell into Su Yu's ears.
Su Yu glanced at her and said, "Housekeeper of the King Beixin's Mansion, why are you stopping us?"
The young lady nodded. "I have a gift for you."
She clapped her hands, and the distorted light figure appeared again, holding a wooden box with both hands.
"This is for you." The young lady flicked her fingers, and the wooden box opened, revealing the item within.
It was a fresh head that was dripping with blood.
When the four of them saw the head, their pupils constricted at the same time.
