"Daoist Yaomu!" The Deputy General Manager sighed. "A rare peerless expert passed away in the Desolate Evil Jungle just like that."
It really was him! So there was no falsehood in the account.
Then, what was the use of those two hundred grains of golden sand?
Although Su Yu could already recognize all of the golden sand, he couldn't link them together into a complete sentence, no matter how he pieced them together. It seemed like these golden sand words were just a part of it.
"You don't need to delve too deeply into these things. What I'm going to tell you now is the specific content of the sacrifice." The Deputy General Manager said, "In the past, the sacrificial ceremony was just a simple sacrificial ceremony. However, ever since the Central Prefecture's factions invaded Tianya City, the situation has changed."
"A hundred years ago, Tianya City was destroyed in a great war. Later, both sides stopped fighting and rebuilt the inner city. However, the neighboring Blessed and Heavenly Lands, the Heavenly Knife Region, wasn't willing to let the matter rest. It destroyed the inner city both openly and covertly, causing the inner city to become desolate. Left with no choice, the Red Blood Palace and the Purple Cloud Palace negotiated with the Heavenly Knife Region Master."
"In the end, we came to an agreement that the Heavenly Knife Region Master would never attack Tianya City again. But in return, the Heavenly Knife Region demanded that they be qualified to enter Tianya City to do business and operate their industries. The method was to hold a sacrificial ceremony every year. The party that contributed the most to the sacrificial ceremony would get the shops. These shops would naturally be distributed among the 18 sects of the Blessed and Heavenly Lands."
"Our Blessed and Heavenly Land is a small place, after all. The Heavenly Knife Region is backed by the Central Prefecture, and they are full of talents. They found two top-notch Wood Clan language experts, and as a result, the Heavenly Knife Region is allowed to open a certain number of shops every year. As you can see now, half of the shops in Tianya City are owned by Tianya City."
"Therefore, I hope that you can do your best in this sacrifice. I don't expect you to win against the two top Wood Race language masters, but I hope that you can stop them for a while, so that we don't lose too badly this time."
Su Yu was also curious as to why the industries of the Central Prefecture were being eroded so quickly.
"I will surely do my best. May I ask, am I the only participant of the Red Blood Palace?" Su Yu asked.
The Deputy General Manager chuckled and said, "Of course it won't be just you, there's another person!"
"Who?" Su Yu asked.
"I can't tell you now, as the earlier your identity is exposed, the more dangerous it will be. The last time, our Red Blood Palace's Mu language's expert was assassinated by the Central Prefecture because of his identity," the Deputy General Manager said.
Su Yu's heart shuddered as he realized the danger he was in.
It was true that his identity could be kept a secret before he participated in the sacrificial ceremony, but what about after he participated? Would he end up like the previous Wood Clan Language Master?
As if he had seen through Su Yu's worries, the Deputy General Manager smiled and said, "You don't need to worry, as I will send someone to escort you back to the faction. The sacrificial offering this time will also be beneficial to you, as during the sacrificial offering, pure energy will appear from the Desolate Evil Jungle. As you are experts in Mu words, you will be the first to be bathed in the energy, which will greatly benefit your cultivation."
Su Yu muttered to himself for a moment, then nodded slightly.
How could the benefits of a little cultivation be compared to personal safety?
Even if Su Yu returned to the faction alive, he might still be targeted by the influences of the Central Prefecture.
For him, the risk of this sacrificial offering was too great.
However, he didn't plan to go back on his word, because the secret hidden in Yaomu Daoist's two hundred grains of golden sand might be very shocking.
No matter what, he had to go to the Desolate Evil Jungle.
"You can rest for a day at the headquarters. After tomorrow, I will take you to the secret stronghold to get to know the other Wood Clan experts of the Blessed and Heavenly Lands. Try to reach a tacit agreement, and at the sacrificial ceremony, you can compete with the two Wood Clan Language Masters of the Central Prefecture."
There are Wood Clan Language Masters of other factions? Su Yu nodded.
A day passed.
The Deputy General Manager led Su Yu to the underground of the nine-story garret, where a hidden, mysterious formation was quietly activated.
"This is an escape formation created by the headquarters to avoid danger. You mustn't spread it," the Deputy General Manager instructed as he activated the formation.
A wave of dizziness hit Su Yu. When Su Yu opened his eyes, he found that he had already left Tianya City and appeared in a desolate, uninhabited grassland.
"Follow me!" The Deputy General Manager waved his sleeves, and a gentle gust of wind engulfed Su Yu.
Two hours later, in a stone forest at the edge of the wasteland …
The Deputy General Manager had just arrived, when several shocking auras shot out from the inconspicuous stone forest. Upon closer inspection, Su Yu found that they were all seventh-grade Almighty late-stage experts, similar to the Deputy General Manager.
"It's me." The Deputy General Manager shouted in a deep voice, while emitting his own aura. The auras in the stone forest gradually converged, and three to five figures flew out of the stone forest.
There were men and women, young and old.
"Old Monster Wu, why did you only come now?" a red-headed, bald monk with big ears asked in a coarse voice.
It turned out that the Deputy General Manager's surname was Wu.
"I'm sorry, but I was preoccupied with an important matter, so I came late." The Deputy General Manager smiled and cupped his hands at them.
The red-headed, big-eared monk glanced at Su Yu. "This is the Wood Clan Language Master that you just found? He seems quite decent, but I don't know his background. Don't drag our Purple Cloud Palace down with you. "
The red-headed monk was none other than the leader of the Purple Cloud Palace's team.
He was referring to the fact that Su Yu looked like a celestial being and had a good temperament, but he didn't know whether he was really knowledgeable.
"How could the person I chose be wrong? Let's go inside and have a chat. Let him interact with the other Wood Clan Language Masters first, so that he can familiarize himself with each other and quickly reach a tacit understanding, "the Deputy General Manager said.
Su Yu was brought into the stone forest, and it was only after he entered that he discovered that there was another world inside the stone forest. It was a large space set up by a formation, which was soundproof and isolated from Vital Energy fluctuations. Hence, it was difficult for the outside world to detect what was going on inside the stone forest.
In order to protect the few Wood Clan Language Masters, they had really put in a lot of effort.
"Shopkeeper Su, you have finally come." A hearty laugh could be heard.
Su Yu turned his head and saw a familiar old man. He couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Master Gao, why are you here? The other Wood Clan Language Master of our Red Blood Palace is Master Gao? "
This person was the chief auctioneer of the Red Blood Palace Auction House, Master Gao.
He was known for his profound knowledge, and even All Creation Old Monsters would ask him for guidance. He was highly respected in Tianya City.
"I should have known it was Master Gao long ago." Su Yu suddenly understood. Master Gao was very knowledgeable, so it was reasonable for him to know Wood Clan Language Masters.
Master Gao flashed a warm smile and said, "I only found out yesterday that the Deputy General Manager recommended another Wood Clan Words expert. It's none other than Great Shopkeeper Su. The Heart Refining Mortal Dust Liquid that you've brought with you is a great blessing for the martial artists of Tianya City."
"Oh? He's the Shopkeeper Su who sold the Heart Refining Mortal Dust Liquid? "someone in the crowd asked in surprise.
"Hehe, I was wondering who it was. It turns out to be Shopkeeper Su, who swam naked in broad daylight and bullied innocent women." A strange smile was also heard.
When Su Yu looked over, he saw that they were two middle-aged men.
The one on the left was dressed in a loose orange robe, and he was sizing Su Yu up in surprise. His cultivation was surprisingly at the first-grade Almighty level!
The other was a middle-aged man in black clothes. His face was dark red, and he was wearing a mocking smile. His cultivation had even reached the second-grade Almighty level!
Su Yu was puzzled. When did I swim naked? And when did I bully innocent women?
Su Yu didn't want to waste his breath explaining himself to them. So, he quietly went to Master Gao's side and prepared to recuperate as he waited for the sacrificial offering to begin.
"Shopkeeper Su, do you still have the Heart Refining Mortal Dust Liquid?" A soft, pleasant, elegant, and familiar voice drifted into Su Yu's ears.
Su Yu was surprised, and when he opened his eyes to look, his pupils contracted slightly. However, he quickly regained his composure.
"Yes, how much does Miss Lü want?" Su Yu asked calmly.
The woman before him was none other than Lü Chuyi!
She was also an expert in Wood Clan Language Masters!
Su Yu recalled that on the first day he came to Tianya City, he had seen her coming out of the Purple Cloud Palace's headquarters. At that time, he had wondered why Lü Chuyi had come all the way here. It turned out that it was also for the sacrificial offering!
Lü Chuyi smiled gently, and her smile was as beautiful as a hundred flowers. "Shopkeeper Su, you still remember me."
That day, at the entrance of the Bright Moon Householder's house, Lü Chuyi had mistaken his back for Su Yu. Hence, she had a deep impression of him.
"It's my honor." Su Yu didn't even raise his head. He seemed rather cold as he took out three bottles of the Heart Refining Mortal Dust Liquid and handed them to her. "Are they enough?"
Lü Chuyi's eyes lit up, and her fair face became slightly flushed. "I've been to the Tonglin Elixir Store, but it's a pity that I was too late. Shopkeeper Su, thank you for giving them to me."
As she spoke, she was about to take out crystals from her sleeves.
"Miss Lü, are you the one who needs the Heart Refining Mortal Dust Liquid?" Su Yu asked.
She was already an Almighty, so the Heart Refining Mortal Dust Liquid's effects were minimal. Even a first-grade Almighty wouldn't be interested in it. So, where did she get her joy from?
Lü Chuyi hesitated for a moment. "Actually, it's not really a secret. When I was training in the Mysterious Heavenly Divine Pavilion, my soul suffered some damage, and I need some items to nourish my soul energy."
Incredible elixirs that could strengthen the soul energy of an Almighty were even rarer than the Heart Refining Mortal Dust Liquid on the market. They couldn't be bought with money.
Lü Chuyi had no choice but to use the Heart Refining Mortal Dust Liquid, which had a weak effect.
"The Mysterious Heavenly Divine Pavilion?" Su Yu murmured softly. His heart ached as he looked at Lü Chuyi.
Wasn't her soul injured because she had used her Soul Incarnation to block an attack for Su Yu?
Su Yu's palm flickered once again, and seven bottles of the Heart Refining Mortal Dust Liquid appeared. He then said, "Three bottles have a weak effect, but ten bottles might still have some effect on you."
Lü Chuyi's face lit up with delight. "Ten bottles … That's a total of 110,000 crystals, right?"
"There's no need for that. I'll give these to you, Miss Lü." Su Yu shook his head, then turned around and went back to Master Gao's side.
Lü Chuyi was startled, and she looked at Su Yu with an odd expression. "Shopkeeper Su, we've only met once, so I can't afford a gift of 110,000 crystals."
As she spoke, she insisted on giving the crystals to Su Yu.
Su Yu said softly, "I'm only giving them to you because of the person you can't forget. Take them."
Outsiders couldn't understand what Su Yu meant, but Lü Chuyi's body shivered. She stared at Su Yu, surprised by his words.
What does he mean? Does he know that I mistook him for Su Yu? Or is he just giving me a gift on a whim? Lü Chuyi was confused, and she stared at Su Yu, trying to see something from his expression.
