"Are you really not going to tell me what this is?" Su Yu caressed the pebble, feeling that it was a good item.
The drop of blood turned its head away with a nonchalant look on its face. "I told you, it's just an ordinary pebble. Why are you always so suspicious? Don't you trust this Divine Emperor's reputation? Back in the day, I slaughtered the heavens and destroyed the earth, staining the starry sky with blood. Why would a big shot like me cheat a kid's stuff? "
Although it spoke disdainfully, its eyes glanced at the Saint Blood Soul Nourishing Stone from time to time.
When Su Yu saw Division Vice Master Qi's expression, he turned his head to look at him and asked, "Where did you get it?"
Vice Hall Master Qi's eyes gleamed. "You wish to know? Let me go first, then we'll talk! Otherwise, you'll never be able to guess where this pebble came from. "
"Son of Heaven's Imperial Soul!" As soon as he spoke, Su Yu's eyes shone with silver light.
Vice Hall Master Qi was caught off guard. Just as he was about to retaliate, the surrounding soul space suddenly began to compress, rendering him unable to move or even think.
Without any resistance, Su Yu easily controlled it with his Soul Energy.
"Where did it come from?" Su Yu asked leisurely.
Division Vice Master Qi couldn't help but reply, "It was brought out by an inner sanctum disciple who had entered the Glittering Jewel Wonderland before. He sold it on the black market as a defective product, but I discovered it and bought it."
Glittering Jewel Wonderland? Here again! Su Yu's eyes shone with a strange light.
"Do you know what this is?" Su Yu asked with a burning gaze.
Vice Hall Master Qi shook his head in bewilderment. "I don't know. I've looked through the ancient records of the sect, but there isn't any information on it. All I know is that it's extremely tough, such that no artifact would be able to break it apart. This is also the reason why the inner disciple sold it as a defective product."
Beside him, the drop of blood heaved a sigh of relief. It grinned and said, "See? Didn't I tell you? It's just a worthless piece of trash, yet you insist on treating it like a treasure!"
Su Yu turned a deaf ear to him. He recalled the Heaven's Son Imperial Soul and said indifferently, "I'll leave this soul to you."
After saying those words, Zhang Xuan's soul dissipated as he prepared to leave the soul space.
The drop of blood was taken aback, and it hurriedly said, "Wait! Kid, leave the stone behind for me. "
When the drop of blood saw that Su Yu wasn't moved, it rolled its eyes and said, "Don't you want to know what this is? As long as you promise to give me half of it, I will immediately tell you its origin and how to use it. "
Half? Su Yu smiled and left the space directly. "No need, I'll figure it out myself."
After saying those words, he left the soul space.
"Wa ya ya, you old bastard, you're even more cunning than a thousand-year-old fox!! Didn't I just want to take advantage of him? Do you think it's easy for me? "It flew into a rage, flustered and exasperated, as if it had lost something extremely painful.
— —
In the outside world, Su Yu opened his eyes and observed the pebble in his palm.
"Saint Blood Soul Nourishing Stone? When I get to Tianya City, I'll see if I can find some ancient books and find out the origin of this object. Since it was coveted by the Evil God, it can't be anything bad. "Su Yu was in a good mood.
After Su Yu collected the stone and the Five Elements Divine Prison, he tapped the ground with the tip of his foot and soared into the sky to leave this place.
The battle just now had caused quite a commotion here. Even if it did not attract the attention of experts, it could have attracted the attention of demonic beasts.
One day later.
Black shadows shuttled across the sky, and several powerful auras descended one after another. Judging from their clothes, they were all from the Red Blood Palace.
One of them was Palace Mistress Kong Chan, and she was followed by several other Cabinet Masters. They all landed in the vicinity and started looking around.
"Palace Mistress, we found four piles of ashes." After a short while, the several Cabinet Masters found the ashes.
Palace Mistress Kong Chan walked over and looked at the four piles of ashes in surprise.
After a short while, an ice-cold look appeared on the face of one of the Cabinet Masters next to her. "Cabinet Master, may I ask if those are the missing Vice Division Master Qi?"
Palace Mistress Kong Chan nodded slightly. "Those are the ashes that were left behind after his death. Vice Division Master Qi was really killed. "
Upon hearing this, the other Cabinet Masters, who had rushed over, revealed their murderous intents. "Who dares to kill the Red Blood Palace's Vice Division Master?"
The Red Blood Palace was one of the Eighteen Blessed and Heavenly Lands' two rulers.
Killing a Red Blood Palace's disciple was tantamount to provoking the Red Blood Palace's prestige.
"Palace Mistress Kong Chan, this person is too daring, so we must find the culprit and protect our Red Blood Palace's prestige."
"That's right, we must investigate this matter to the end."
Palace Mistress Kong Chan stared at the four piles of ashes and got lost in her thoughts. She didn't pay any attention to the surrounding voices.
After a short while, she muttered softly, "One of the four piles of ashes was killed by some kind of tyrannical demonic technique, which destroyed both its body and soul, while the other was killed by a mysterious technique. A wisp of Heaven's Might is contained within the ashes. Could it be that it was the Purple Cloud Palace's Gu Taixu? "
There were only a few people in the Eighteen Blessed and Heavenly Lands who had comprehended the Pure Divine Decree, and there was only one person who could use Heaven's Might to kill his enemies. It was Gu Taixu!
He was known as the Eighteen Blessed and Heavenly Lands' number one genius, and he was on par with Jian Wusheng in the past.
His Pure Divine Decree, which could replace the world's punishment, was known to all.
"Could it be that it was the Purple Cloud Palace's doing?" Palace Mistress Kong Chan felt that the situation was grave, so she spoke in a deep voice, "Don't spread the news about Vice Division Master Qi's death. This matter has been upgraded to the sanctum's secret, and anyone who dares to spread it will be punished severely."
The hearts of the other Cabinet Masters shuddered. What had happened? Why was this matter suddenly classified as a secret?
"Preserve their ashes properly. If this matter is as I have predicted, the peace of the Eighteen Blessed and Heavenly Lands will be broken," Palace Mistress Kong Chan muttered.
Su Yu naturally didn't know that his careless actions had made Gu Taixu a scapegoat.
After three days of traveling, he finally arrived at Tianya City.
In the huge market that bordered the Eighteen Blessed and Heavenly Lands and the Central Prefecture …
The relationship between the Eighteen Blessed and Heavenly Lands and the Central Prefecture was very subtle. The Eighteen Blessed and Heavenly Lands was located at the border of the Central Prefecture, and it used to be one of the five regions of the Central Prefecture. However, a hundred years ago, after the great war between the human and ghost races, the Eighteen Blessed and Heavenly Lands betrayed the Central Prefecture and formed its own region.
Many experts walked out from these forces.
There was Gu Taixu, and there was Jian Wusheng from a hundred years ago.
In the beginning, the Central Prefecture had attacked the Eighteen Blessed and Heavenly Lands. It was only when Jian Wusheng, a decisive expert, appeared that the Central Prefecture became fearful of them. They negotiated a peace treaty with the Eighteen Blessed and Heavenly Lands and signed an agreement to never attack them again.
However, nominally, the Blessed Paradises were still under the jurisdiction of the Central Prefecture.
But, in fact, the Central Prefecture's forces couldn't control this place.
It was only by secretly infiltrating various forces and eroding the Blessed and Heavenly Lands' forces that they could overthrow all of them one day. Only then could the Blessed and Heavenly Lands truly return to the Central Prefecture's control.
Tianya City was located at the border of two forces that were separated but actually united. It was a place where crooks and honest people mingled together, and it was filled with many Central Prefecture's forces.
They were here to gather information about the Blessed and Heavenly Lands and understand their every move.
No one knew how many Central Prefecture's spies were hidden in the city.
This referred to the Central Prefecture's dark forces that were secretly carrying out shameful deeds.
The forces on the surface were Tianya City's many industries.
Tianya City used to be the Eighteen Blessed and Heavenly Lands' greatest trading center, and it was ranked fifth in the whole Central Prefecture.
The trading center was flourishing, and all of the Blessed and Heavenly Lands' forces, including the factions, needed to rely on Tianya City's industries to obtain a large amount of resources.
This was why it wasn't just the Red Blood Palace and the Purple Cloud Palace, the other sixteen factions also had great industries here.
How could the Central Prefecture neglect such a great trading center? The Central Prefecture's industries here had a profound foundation.
Almost half of Tianya City's industries came from the Central Prefecture.
The remaining half was divided among the Eighteen Blessed and Heavenly Lands' various forces.
This trading center originally belonged to the Eighteen Blessed and Heavenly Lands, but later, half of it was snatched away by the Central Prefecture. It was obvious how much the Eighteen Blessed and Heavenly Lands were being suppressed in Tianya City.
Under such circumstances, the Eighteen Blessed and Heavenly Lands' industries weren't doing too well, and it would be extremely difficult for Su Yu to revive the Tonglin Elixir Store.
From afar, Tianya City's city walls stretched to the horizon. It was so vast that one couldn't even see its end.
Such a vast land was a hundred times larger than the Blue Mountain City that he had seen in the past.
If one didn't have the cultivation of the Fairy Realm, it would take at least a year to walk from the city's south to the city's north.
Even if Su Yu had broken through to the Fairy Realm, he would still need half a day to cross the city.
As he stood before the city walls, he suddenly had a feeling that he was very far away.
As he entered the city, he was greeted by a cacophony of noises. As far as the eye could see, it was filled with a sea of people.
Moreover, there were many experts in the city.
Early stage Fairies could be found everywhere, and middle stage Fairies could also be seen everywhere. Su Yu even found many late stage Fairies who were at least Grade Seven Fairies.
Moreover, Su Yu could even sense a few vague Divine Masters' auras.
This was just the tip of Tianya City's iceberg.
Su Yu didn't doubt that there were All Creation Old Monsters overseeing such a city.
Su Yu's heart shuddered. His power was pretty good, but if he was targeted by the city's experts who harbored evil intentions, it would be troublesome.
Su Yu was on high alert, so he kept a low profile and went straight to the General Manager's place.
According to the address, Su Yu held the token in his hand and went to the Red Blood Palace's headquarters in Tianya City.
The General Manager was a position that was in charge of managing Tianya City's industries. Usually, only the Great Palace Master Mo Tianxuan's trusted subordinates could assume this position. Not only were they extremely powerful, but they were also extremely loyal.
Anyone from a faction who came here to report their work had to present the token to the General Manager and get his permission.
The headquarters was set up in the center of Tianya City, and it was a nine-story building.
This was Tianya City's most flourishing area, and it represented the Red Blood Palace's status in Tianya City.
There was an island floating in the air opposite the nine-story building, and it was the Purple Cloud Palace's headquarters.
As for the Central Prefecture, its industries' owners came from several other regions of the Central Prefecture, and they were scattered all over the place. This was why it didn't have a headquarters.
Only the Red Blood Palace and the Purple Cloud Palace were outstanding.
As Su Yu looked at the magnificent nine-story building, he examined it subconsciously. He discovered that there was a powerful seal on the building's surface, and it gave him a dangerous feeling. Even an early stage Divine Master would be instantly killed by the formation if he tried to barge into it.
Su Yu walked over to the building, but didn't enter it rashly.
A middle-aged man, who seemed like a guard, walked out of the cold and cheerless building. His cultivation was surprisingly at the Level One Divine Master Realm.
Even a guard was a Level One Divine Master! It must be known that Division Vice Master Qi was also a Level One Divine Master!
Tianya City's headquarters was really special, and its status was even higher than the Elegant Spirit Mountain's manor.
"Are you a Red Blood Palace's outer sanctum disciple?" The middle-aged man examined Su Yu, as he recognized him from his blue robe.
Su Yu nodded and took out his identity badge. "I'm an outer sanctum disciple, Su Yu, and I've come here to meet you, Great Shopkeeper."
The middle-aged man walked out of the building and examined the badge carefully. After he ascertained that there were no mistakes, he said, "The Great General Manager is in secluded cultivation, and he can't come out for the time being. If it isn't an urgent matter, you can look for the Deputy General Manager."
The Great General Manager was the Great Shopkeeper that Division Vice Master Qi had mentioned, and he was in charge of all the businesses here.
The Deputy General Manager? Su Yu understood this well, as it would be strenuous for the Great General Manager to manage such a large business by himself. Hence, the Deputy General Manager could be his helper, and if something happened to the Great General Manager, the Deputy General Manager could act on his behalf.
"I'm here to carry out the Tonglin Elixir Store's shopkeeper mission. Please lead the way," Su Yu said.
"The Tonglin Elixir Store?" The middle-aged man mulled it over for a moment, but he didn't seem to have any impression of the Tonglin Elixir Store. After all, the Red Blood Palace had several hundred low-grade stores in the outer sanctum, as well as many middle-grade and high-grade stores.
However, the middle-aged man suddenly realized something. "Oh? Are you talking about the elixir store that is in debt all year round?"
Su Yu was left speechless by this, as the Tonglin Elixir Store's reputation was really bad!
"That's right!" Su Yu replied.
