After receiving the message, Su Yu pondered.
The rest of the people were silent, their expressions grave.
"You can choose to withdraw or participate now," the Demon Heart said.
Withdraw, of course not.
But to participate … They looked at each other and communicated with their eyes.
With their individual strength, it was impossible for them to be a match for any of the sinners. If they joined forces, there was still a chance.
In particular, if they could join forces with this half-step World Divine Warrior, their chances of winning would increase by 20 percent.
As for who would emerge victorious in the end, it would depend on who was more capable.
"It seems that we need to work together." An old man who looked over 70 years old broke the silence and glanced at the Demon Heart at the same time.
The Demon Heart did not stop them, tacitly agreeing that they could team up.
"I agree."
"Me too."
The group of people agreed to team up.
The seven of them reached a consensus and finally fixed their eyes on the half-step World Divine Warrior, the girl next door.
"Alright, count me in as well." She smiled faintly.
With that, the seven of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Without the half-step World Divine Warrior, the seven peak overlords wanted to go against the infamous half-step World Divine Warrior. It was tantamount to seeking death.
"In that case, it will be the eight of us … oh, and a young man." The old man just noticed Su Yu standing alone in the corner.
Yuren looked over and said, "Let's go together. Although his strength is a little low, what if he can be of some use?"
Although they said so, it was easy to guess what they were planning. They probably thought of Su Yu as cannon fodder or something.
After all, hunting half-step World Divine Warriors was extremely dangerous. Apart from being used as cannon fodder, how could they expect a Crystal Overlord to fight a half-step World Divine Warrior?
Su Yu was about to refuse, but the girl next door said, "This trip is very dangerous. His cultivation is too low, and he will only be a burden to us. It's better not to bring him along."
Since she had spoken, how could the others refuse?
"That's right. With such a low cultivation, it's better not to meddle."
Everyone reached a consensus.
"So, who are you going to hunt?" the Demon Heart asked.
The seven of them looked at the girl, with her at the center. "The Demon Child!"
The Demon Heart nodded. "You can go now."
The eight of them left in unison, leaving Su Yu alone in his place.
The Devil Heart looked at him. "So, you choose to forfeit?"
If Su Yu was alone, what could he accomplish? Other than forfeiting, he had no other choice, right?
"No, I will continue." Unexpectedly, Su Yu revealed a relaxed expression.
At first, he was slightly worried that they would be too enthusiastic and invite Su Yu to join them. If that happened, he wouldn't be able to use all of his hidden techniques at will.
In the end, his worries were obviously unnecessary, so he was naturally happy to relax.
Demon Heart was slightly startled, then nodded, "Alright, if you want to force yourself to try, we won't stop you, but your life and death will be your own responsibility."
"Understood," Su Yu said, then turned around and left the courtyard.
The devil's heart watched him leave, then turned into a demonic mist and disappeared. When it reappeared, it was in an elegant room.
Behind the bamboo curtain, a white-robed young master with a face like a jade crown and a face like a peach blossom looked out the window with his hands behind his back.
Through the window, she could see the small courtyard where Su Yu and the others were standing just now.
But standing in the courtyard, he couldn't sense the existence of the window at all.
"Who do you think is more likely to complete the task?" The White-robed Young Master stared at the courtyard and asked himself.
Demon Heart knelt down worriedly, his expression respectful. "Princess Ruchen's eyes are like torches, I dare not speak carelessly."
The White-robed Young Master was the only remaining Princess Ruchen of the Dayu Empire!
"A half-step Divine Warrior of Heaven and Earth, I am looking forward to it," Princess Ruchen said.
Obviously, the girl next door was the candidate in Princess Ruchen's mind.
"But …" Her tone changed slightly, "I am also very interested in that little martial artist named Su Yu. If I remember correctly, the one who killed Xie Lang on the Yellow List is also called Su Yu."
Demon Heart said, "The two of them can't be the same person, right? I heard that the person who killed Xie Lang only used one move. "
Princess Ruchen nodded, then shook her head. "It's true that Xie Lang was killed by a sword, but it wasn't Su Yu, but a genius youth under Bei Wangchen's command."
"Then Su Yu …" Demon Heart suddenly understood. "Could it be a deal?"
Such a deal wasn't new. Although it was forbidden by the Empire, it was rarely investigated.
"So, it could be the same person," Princess Ruchen said.
Demon Heart pondered for a moment, then asked, "Should I capture him and hand him over to the Empire to be dealt with? On the one hand, it can establish the Princess's prestige, and on the other hand, it can gain the Monarch's appreciation. "
"Forget it." Princess Ruchen rejected the idea without hesitation. "He's just an insignificant person, an insignificant matter, and he won't gain much from it."
"Then, how should we deal with him?"
"Observe him and see if there's anything special about him. If there isn't, you don't have to report to me."
— —
Su Yu, who was the center of attention, didn't go hunting criminals excitedly. Instead, he stayed in the Beyond the Heavens Tower.
After waiting quietly for two days, Su Yu left his room and went to the private room on the second floor.
The promise of the auction house was on Su Yu's mind at all times.
Standing in front of the private room, Su Yu used a divine technique to change his appearance, then stepped inside.
There was already a person in the private room.
It was a young woman with a white veil over her face.
Her curves were exquisite, and her curves were in the right places. She looked extremely youthful.
Through the thin veil, one could see a tear-stained cinnabar mole at the corner of her right eye, which added to her beauty.
"Are you the person who put up the bounty?" Su Yu stepped inside and searched his memory carefully. He was sure that he didn't know such a woman with cinnabar tears.
"Yes." The woman's voice was soft and gentle, and it was very pleasant to listen to.
"Are you Su Yu?"
"No." Su Yu sat opposite her. "I'm just like you, someone who's looking for Su Yu."
A look of disappointment flashed across the woman's eyes. "Another person who's looking for him."
Why is it 'another'? Is there someone else besides him who's also looking for the woman with cinnabar tears?
"Why are you looking for him?" the woman asked.
Su Yu answered without hesitation, "To kill him."
The woman's eyes turned serious. "Why?"
"He hurt my family, and this hatred is absolutely irreconcilable!" Su Yu's face was full of hatred.
The woman clenched her fists. "He only hurt your family. Do you know that my family was killed by him?"
Oh? Su Yu secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, he hadn't revealed his true appearance.
Otherwise, he would have fought with this woman the moment he showed himself.
The reason for the fight was that this woman was also a Divine Warrior of Heaven and Earth, and an extremely powerful one at that.
At least, she wasn't an ordinary Divine Warrior, and she was full of danger.
"What's your name?" Cinnabar Tears asked.
Su Yu thought of the name that he had given up on. "Xue Yu."
"If you have any news about Su Yu, remember to inform me." The woman threw a communication jade to him.
Su Yu nodded and asked, "What about you?"
"You can call me Qiu Henlei," Cinnabar Tears said calmly.
Qiu Henlei … Is she like the cinnabar tears in the corner of my right eye?
"May I ask who was the last person looking for Su Yu? Was he also Su Yu's enemy? If we keep in touch, we might be able to find Su Yu faster, "he said.
Shaking her head, Qiu Henlei said, "That was a friend looking for Su Yu. Don't worry, I've already killed him."
It was Li Changqing!
Su Yu subconsciously thought of Li Changqing, who had been missing from the Tianlan Manor for many days.
No wonder there had been no news of him. He had met with misfortune and been killed by this woman.
Li Changqing must have discovered the reward for finding Su Yu at the Bounty Auction House and followed the clues to meet the owner of the reward.
Who would have thought that the person who put up the reward had a grudge against Su Yu and had directly killed him?
Su Yu sighed. He didn't dislike this person, and he had come to give Su Yu a gift.
If I have the chance to return to the Tianlan Manor and ask for Li Changqing's belongings, I'll resurrect him, Su Yu thought to himself. But he said, "Then don't worry. If I find any traces of Su Yu, I'll definitely inform you."
Qiu Henlei nodded and left.
Su Yu remained in the private room, clenching his fists and slamming the table in anger. "Damn it! I spent so much effort looking for Su Yu, and I thought that this person might have some information about Su Yu. I didn't expect … Sigh … Where am I supposed to find him in this sea of people? "
As he sighed, Su Yu acutely sensed that outside the private room, an obscure prying aura was slowly fading away.
Qiu Henlei hadn't left completely. Obviously, he didn't believe Su Yu's one-sided story. Instead, he was secretly observing whether Xue Yu was Su Yu's enemy.
Su Yu's self-directed drama had dispelled Qiu Henlei's worries, and he finally left.
Su Yu secretly heaved a sigh of relief before leaving the Beyond the Heavens Tower.
With this experience, Su Yu was much more careful. With a thought, Su Yu headed to the Imperial City's most famous Alliance of Weapons.
The Alliance of Weapons focused on crafting weapons, and its reputation was the highest in the Dayu Empire's crafting standards.
"A true emperor level divine weapon!" Su Yu exclaimed as he stood in front of a counter, staring at the item, which was protected by layers of seals.
This was the first time he had seen an emperor-based saint artifact on sale.
It was a willow leaf, and its use was to change one's appearance. It was impossible for emperors to see through it.
Although Su Yu could also change his appearance, and with the rules, no one below the level of an emperor could see through him, this might not be the case for emperors.
The emperors of heaven and earth could use the power of the rules, so they could naturally sense it.
If Qiu Henlei had sensed carefully just now, she would have noticed that Su Yu's appearance was concealed by the rules.
However, seeing that Su Yu was only a Glazed Crystal Overlord, she subconsciously felt that Su Yu could not have used the rules, so she did not probe carefully.
Looking at the price, it was negotiated with the craftsman, the Emperor of Weapons.
Such an emperor-based saint artifact was indeed priceless, and it could only be traded with other items.
"Oh? Have you returned from hunting down the sinners? "A joking voice came from beside him.
Looking sideways, he saw that it was the Alliance of Eight.
They had just purchased a large number of talismans and treasures in preparation for the upcoming battle.
Unexpectedly, they had run into Su Yu.
They had heard Su Yu's decision to hunt down the sinners on his own.
Now that they had met, they could not help but laugh at Su Yu's fearlessness.
Su Yu did not pay attention to them. Instead, he was thinking about what he could use to exchange for the blinding leaf.
"Oh? Do you think you can covet the blinding leaf? Even the half-step emperors are deterred! " One of the younger strong men in the Alliance of Eight said with a sense of superiority because his cultivation was higher than Su Yu's.
Su Yu asked, "So, you know what the Emperor of One-Qi wants?"
"Haha, of course I know. It must be a thousand-year-old spiritual object, or a rare plant." The young strong man cupped his fists and laughed. "But do you have it?"
Hearing that, Su Yu rubbed his chin and said to himself, "It's much simpler if it's just a plant. Fortunately, it's not as difficult as I imagined."
If the Emperor of One-Qi needed the crafting materials in the ore, Su Yu would be helpless.
