Upon hearing this, the expressions of all the people in the palace changed drastically.
The Great Lord had always been strict when it came to using people. He would reward those who had made contributions, and punish those who had made mistakes.
His punishment was to make the Black and White Elders cripple their own cultivation and leave the Seven Lords Palace.
"Great Lord, please forgive us! We know that we were in the wrong. We didn't know how important this letter was! " The Black and White Elders' expressions changed drastically, and they hurriedly kowtowed. They even started crying. Such a punishment was too severe!
What they regretted the most was that they had not taken Su Yu seriously when he had first arrived.
The Great Lord said calmly, "I didn't just punish you for the letter. I also punished the Heavenly Law Alliance Master, who you rejected. If I remember correctly, his name is Su Yu, and he is someone that the King has taken a fancy to. You should understand what this means."
Someone that the King has taken a fancy to? Hearing this, everyone sucked in a breath of cold air.
Even the higher-ups of the Empire of Darkness understood what he meant. He meant that Su Yu was one of the successors of the Empire of Darkness!
"It's not that my punishment is too severe. It's just that you have caused a great disaster." The Great Lord waved his sleeves and sent the two of them away.
Su Yu was actually regarded by the King of Darkness as the successor of the Empire of Darkness?
This piece of earth-shattering news was truly shocking.
"I will pass this letter to the King. You can leave now." The Great Lord waved his hand.
"Wait …" Suddenly, the Heavenly Water Tower's Master's eyes lit up. "Grandfather, are we just going to ignore Su Yu's request for soldiers?"
The Great Lord's gaze became gentle. "There is no need for that. I also want to take this opportunity to see how capable he is. If he succeeds, he will naturally receive the continent's recognition and inherit the Empire of Darkness. However, if he dies in battle, it means that he is not capable enough."
The Heavenly Water Tower's Master was dumbfounded. "Grandfather, are you sure? We have received news that Wu Shengjun will lead thousands of Fairy Realm experts out of seclusion. Their first battle will be against the northern continent. Su Yu must have borrowed soldiers because of this. Regardless of how powerful he is, it is impossible for him to fight against a thousand-man army! "
The Great Lord just smiled. He waved his sleeves and said, "Alright, let's just wait and see. Whether Su Yu is a dragon or a worm will be revealed in this battle. We will wait and see."
After the Heavenly Water Tower's Master left, the Great Lord looked at the other six Great Lords and said, "It's about time! The Hall Master of the Intelligence Hall has completed his mission and found out the true situation of the Dragon Abyss of the Nine Underworlds. Whether we can return eternal peace to the continent depends on our old bones. Everyone, prepare yourselves. "
The Seven Lords Palace was closed, and the Empire of Darkness returned to its usual peace.
However, the news that an unprecedentedly powerful otherworldly army was about to come out of seclusion and sweep through the northern continent spread without anyone noticing.
"The legendary strongest sage, over a thousand Half Immortals?"
"Hiss … The Northern Continent is completely finished."
"Even if Alliance Master Su is here, it's impossible to stop them!"
..
A formless aura of panic pervaded everyone's hearts.
An unprecedented battle was about to engulf the northern continent, affecting the hearts of the entire continent.
Would the rumored Alliance Master Su be able to withstand this calamity?
Unknowingly, the northern continent had become the focal point of the entire continent.
When Su Yu returned to the northern continent, he looked at the northern continent's people, who were fleeing in panic, as they brushed past him.
How many people were willing to sacrifice their lives for the common people and fight for the common people in the face of disaster?
Su Yu didn't stop them and returned to the Heavenly Law Alliance's branch palace, which was now the Heavenly Law Alliance's headquarters.
The former ten regions had already been accepted, and each region was now governed by the Heavenly Law Alliance's people.
Kill!
Kill!
Before Su Yu returned to the city, he heard deafening battle cries from the outskirts of the city. The cries were uniform and shook the heavens.
"Is there a battle going on?" Su Yu's heart tightened as he flew toward the source of the cries. He saw over a thousand Heavenly Law Alliance's members practicing close combat techniques.
In the distant sky, there was a giant ring floating in the air. Over a hundred people were trying to imbue Vital Energy into it to practice using the powerful Energy Condensing Ring in preparation for the upcoming battle.
As Su Yu looked around, he saw that all around him were members of the Heavenly Law Alliance.
None of them were slacking off, and none of them were fleeing. All of them were prepared to die in the upcoming battle.
Su Yu's bleak heart felt inexplicably comforted.
At least there was still a group of people who could fight!
"Young master!" The Eighth Saint Master, Wu Hen, immediately rushed over when he sensed Su Yu's return.
"Did you organize their training?" Su Yu asked with a faint smile. While they were training, they could faintly see the army. Only Wu Hen, who came from a military background, could do such a thing.
The Eighth Saint Master felt slightly uneasy. "I didn't get your permission, so please forgive me. However, the battle was imminent, so I couldn't wait for your return …"
"Hehe, you don't need to explain yourself. I don't care about the background of my people. Although you were my enemy in the past, I witnessed your battle with Xue Wu." Su Yu looked at Wu Hen and nodded with satisfaction. "Once the Zhenlong Continent's matter is settled, I will let you go."
What? The Eighth Saint Master's heart almost jumped out of his chest. He was extremely excited. Would he be reborn one day?
"Wu Hen, I will do my best!" He obviously understood that the prerequisite for him to be let go was that he had to do his job well. Otherwise, things would turn out contrary to his wishes.
"Alright, gather all the important members of the alliance. I have an important matter to discuss with them," Su Yu said.
An important matter? Could it be that he had successfully borrowed soldiers? Wu Hen was overjoyed, so he immediately went around to gather the important members.
As for Su Yu, he landed in front of Xianer's house.
He could sense that Xianer had entered a cultivation state. Her whole body was engulfed by a mysterious and gentle aura. Su Yu had a whole new level of respect for her cultivation.
It had only been a few days since she had left, yet she had already become a Three Crystals Half Fairy!
It must be known that when she had left, she had only been a One Crystal Half Fairy!
"The Fairy King's relic that she received is really extraordinary!" Su Yu was amazed, and he couldn't help but think about the Fairy King's feather, which could heal injuries caused by the Dantian's destruction.
Su Yu could only feel gratified by Xianer's good fortune.
"Xianer, if I survive this battle, I will surely marry you," Su Yu muttered. He didn't disturb her as he silently left.
In a palace somewhere.
"Where did Elder Jiu go?" Su Yu asked. Elder Jiu and the other two people were supposed to be lying in the palace, but they were nowhere to be found. Only Phoenix Master Qiu and Xia Jingyu, who were still in deep sleep, were left.
"Alliance Master, Elder Jiu left last night. We don't know where he went," a guard reported.
Left? Su Yu was confused. Elder Jiu's injuries hadn't healed yet, so why would he leave at such a time?
However, with his power, there weren't many people who could threaten him, so he didn't need to worry too much.
"Alright, search everywhere. If you find any news, inform me immediately," Su Yu instructed as his gaze fell upon Phoenix Master Qiu and Xia Jingyu.
Swoosh!
Two jade boxes appeared in his palm. They were the Phoenix Tail Purple Fire Pill and the Peerless Moon Fall Pill. They were the two elixirs that could save Phoenix Master Qiu.
Su Yu took them out and placed them in Phoenix Master Qiu's mouth, then imbued them with his Vital Energy to help her swallow them.
Su Yu could sense that the medicinal power was quickly gathering in Phoenix Master Qiu's abdomen.
Her abdomen was the place where she had sustained heavy injuries, and there was a fine palm print there, which emitted a dangerous aura.
This palm print should have taken her life, but for some unknown reason, it had spared Phoenix Master Qiu's life.
As the medicinal power converged, the palm print, which hadn't dissipated for half a month, started to dissipate, and it became much weaker.
"Her injuries have already healed, and it seems like it's only a matter of time before she wakes up." Su Yu let out a long breath. He owed Phoenix Master Qiu a debt of gratitude, and he needed her help to cultivate the Evil Destroying Silver Eyes. Now that her injuries had recovered, it was a good sign.
Su Yu walked over to Xia Jingyu's bed.
As he sat beside her, he held her right hand, which was slightly cold and weak. He felt a stabbing pain in his heart.
Xia Jingyu had sustained heavy injuries because she had delivered a message for him.
Ever since they had met, Su Yu couldn't even remember how much he owed her, and he probably wouldn't be able to repay her in this lifetime.
Moreover, he still hadn't replied to Xia Jingyu's feelings for him.
"Jingyu …" Su Yu's eyes were filled with regret. He had already promised Qin Xianer, so it was inevitable that he wouldn't be able to reply to Xia Jingyu.
Su Yu's heart was filled with complicated emotions as he examined her injuries once again. Her internal injuries had already healed, but he still didn't understand why she was still sleeping.
"I hope that you can wake up before my wedding with Xianer," Su Yu muttered as he held her hand.
Swoosh!
"Young master, the alliance's important members have already gathered in the meeting hall." Wu Hen stood at the door and looked at Xia Jingyu, who was staring at Su Yu. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Since ancient times, it was difficult to satisfy both sides. Was Su Yu's choice right or wrong?
Su Yu came back to his senses and gently put down Xia Jingyu's hand. He then stood up and said, "Okay, let's go."
What he didn't know was that after he left, Xia Jingyu, who had been sleeping for a long time, suddenly moved her pinky, leaving a graceful mark in the sunlight.
In the meeting hall.
Old Chen, the annihilation team, and a few elders were waiting quietly.
This was their respect for Su Yu.
"Everyone, let's make a long story short. A great battle is imminent, and I'm sure that you all already know about it, so I don't need to explain it to you." Su Yu was still outside the door, so he went straight to the main topic.
Su Yu strode into the hall and stood in front of the crowd. He had a dignified demeanor, just like a king.
"Welcome back, Alliance Master." The crowd bowed to him.
Su Yu waved his hand. "Let's not be overly complicated. Let's keep everything simple. Time is of the essence, so I'll immediately assign tasks."
The crowd became excited. Did Su Yu manage to borrow soldiers from the Empire of Darkness?
"First, I'll inform you about my trip to the Empire of Darkness." Su Yu's expression was calm, and he took in the crowd's expectant expressions. "It's a pity that I didn't manage to borrow soldiers as you wished. I didn't even get a single soldier."
When he said this, the crowd's faces stiffened.
An indescribable sense of panic swept over them. The otherworldly experts were about to arrive, and they only had ten thousand people. Trying to resist them would be like trying to smash a rock with an egg!
"You have already disregarded life and death, so what else do you have to worry about? If we can't borrow soldiers, can't we do it ourselves? "Su Yu's cold eyes flickered with a shrewd light.
The crowd came back to their senses, and they all laughed bitterly. That's right! If we don't care about life and death, what else is there to be afraid of?
"This is the first matter that I want to discuss with you. The second matter is about your training in the coming month … Okay, you should all leave and make some space for me." Su Yu swept the crowd with his gaze.
Old Chen and the others were startled, and they all left in confusion, creating a space of a thousand feet.
"It's not enough. Let's leave again." Su Yu weighed his options.
