Beyond the Heavenly Mandate Continent, or rather, beyond the Heavenly Mandate Island, was the vast Shenwu World, which was also the world where the Jiuyou tribe was located in Long Yu's memory.
The "beyond the sky" that the Asura Princess mentioned was the world outside the Shenwu World. All the strange beasts and the mysterious woman, Consort Yu, all came from beyond the sky.
It was only then that Long Yu finally realized how big this world was. The Heavenly Mandate Continent was nothing more than a floating island.
However, to Long Yu's disappointment, the Asura Princess had never heard of the Jiuyou tribe. He didn't know if it was because it was too far from the Shura County, or because the Jiuyou tribe was too hidden …
"How's the ancient tower?"
The Asura Princess asked, "I remember that the first floor of the ancient tower seemed to have collapsed."
"Thank you for your concern. The ancient tower is fine."
Long Yu waved his hand, "If that's the case, I'll send you away."
"Why don't you come with me?"
The Asura Princess looked at Long Yu with admiration, "You're strong and smart. You're qualified to be my subordinate. What do you think?"
"I won't leave this place until I get my revenge."
Long Yu shook his head.
If others knew that Long Yu refused such an opportunity without hesitation, they would probably curse him to death. After all, it was the young princess of the Shura County who invited him!
Even the young geniuses of the Shura County who weren't on the Heavenly Mandate Island couldn't wait to become the subordinate of the Shura County Princess. However, Long Yu refused.
"Do you know that the number of young geniuses who want to be my subordinate can fill the entire Heavenly Mandate Island?"
The Asura Princess raised her eyebrows and snorted, "Any of the geniuses in the Shura County would be as talented as you."
"It's not that I don't want to be your subordinate. It's just that I have things to do here."
Long Yu said calmly.
"You said you haven't gotten your revenge. What is it?"
The Asura Princess asked.
"During the battle with the beasts, one of the sect's Vice Palace Lords framed me and caused the death of one of my friends."
A cold light flashed in Long Yu's eyes. He recalled the scene of Wang Changfeng blocking the Divine Ability Secret Realm's sure-kill attack for him. Then, Wang Changfeng's tattered clothes were torn to pieces, and he died on the spot …
All of this was because of Deputy Palace Lord Xiao of the Nine Heaven Star Palace!
If not for the white-haired Deputy Palace Master Xiao's sudden intervention to stop Long Yu from entering the Ancient Dragon Bone Pagoda, Wang Changfeng wouldn't have been needed to protect him.
If Long Yu didn't kill Vice Palace Master Xiao, how could he face Wang Changfeng, who died in his place?
Although this old man was not a good person, he had always taken good care of Long Yu. Whether it was the Tears of the Firmament Blood Cultivation Technique, or the initial Water Manipulation Martial Technique, or the Dragon Sparrow Dance Movement Martial Technique, they were all of great help to Long Yu.
"In the face of a great enemy, you people of Heavenly Mandate Island still have selfish desires and want to harm you?"
The Asura County Lord's eyes lit up in surprise.
"Not bad."
Long Yu nodded.
"If I'm not wrong, that person is a Heavenly Tribulation Realm expert. With your current strength, it won't be easy for you to deal with that person."
The Asura County Lord burst into laughter. "Why don't you come back with me and use the resources of the Asura County to quickly improve your martial arts realm? You can come back when you've reached the Divine Secret Realm. At that time, it'll be much easier for you to take revenge."
"You're right."
Long Yu glanced at the Young Princess, and then he said, "It's not impossible for me to go back with you and be your subordinate. But I have a condition."
"If you want me to avenge you, then forget it. My father has decreed that Asura County's Martial Cultivators are not allowed to interfere with the matters of the subsidiary floating islands."
The young princess shook her head.
"Of course, I'll take revenge myself."
Long Yu chuckled. "My condition is related to the Heaven Prison Thunder Pool. My father went into the Heaven Prison Thunder Pool 20 years ago. I want to go in and find him, but I don't know what's in the Heaven Prison Thunder Pool and whether it's dangerous."
"Isn't the Heaven Prison Thunder Pool one of the three forbidden places on Heavenly Mandate Island?"
The young princess was a little surprised. "Your father has been in there for 20 years. He's dead for sure. That place is full of Divine Power. Even if I go in there, I won't be able to come out alive."
"I can't be at ease if I don't go in and have a look."
Long Yu frowned.
"How about this? First, you become my subordinate. If you perform a meritorious deed, then I can legitimately ask my father to let him in to take a look."
The young princess rolled her eyes and came up with an idea. "What do you think? It's a good suggestion, isn't it?"
"You want me to be your subordinate so badly?"
Long Yu asked with a faint smile.
"It's okay. Anyway, you're quite pleasing to the eye. At least you're not like the others who flatter me every time they see me."
The young princess waved her hand. "That's not the point. The point is that as long as you become my subordinate, you'll naturally have more cultivation resources. You'll be able to improve your Martial Arts Plane at the fastest speed. For you, there are only advantages and no disadvantages."
"Are you sure?"
Long Yu glanced at the lively girl in the black skirt. He always felt that if he really became her subordinate, there would be a lot of trouble coming to him.
"Ahem, of course, there will be disadvantages. But with your strength and brains, you'll definitely be able to turn misfortune into blessing."
The young princess coughed and said honestly, "If you become my subordinate, there will definitely be many young geniuses who will be jealous of you. They will continuously challenge you. Do you dare to fight with the geniuses of our Shura County?"
"If they are at the same Plane as me, I'll kill one if one comes. If two come, I'll kill a pair."
Long Yu said casually, "But if their Plane is much higher than mine, then it's hard to say."
"Geniuses whose Martial Arts Plane is much higher than yours won't even bother to challenge you. So, do you agree to be my subordinate?"
The Young Princess's eyes were filled with hope as she looked at Long Yu.
"I have to go to Yellow Sand Sky City first."
Long Yu said.
"That's okay. I'll go with you."
The young princess said with a smile.
"Didn't you say that you can't interfere with the affairs of Heavenly Mandate Island?"
Long Yu raised his eyebrows.
"I'm just going with you to take a look. This is not interference."
The young princess had a sly look on her face. "And don't worry. If it's not necessary, I won't let anyone discover my existence. You can go and do your own things. After you're done, you have to follow me back to Shura County and listen to my orders from then on."
Long Yu knew that this was an excellent opportunity. Although it was a little unpleasant to listen to a little girl, she was the princess of Shura County.
One had to know that the Asura Region governed hundreds of floating islands like the Heavenly Mandate Continent!
In this way, Long Yu could go to the outside world without passing the selection. This was a great opportunity that others could only dream of. There was no reason to give up.
Of course, before leaving, Long Yu must go back to Yellow Sand Sky City to see his mother, Bei Yuyao, and give her the Hundred Refined Five Elements Elixir that Wang Changfeng had stolen.
Bei Yuyao's Dantian was seriously injured. Xiao Zezhi, the new elder of Nine Heaven Star Palace, used this Hundred Refined Five Elements Elixir to convince Bei Tianyi to marry Bei Yuyao and cure her Dantian injury.
Wang Changfeng took the opportunity to steal the Hundred Refined Five Elements Elixir and cripple Xiao Zezhi. This made Long Yu feel very happy.
Unfortunately, Wang Changfeng was killed by Xiao Zezhi's grandfather, Deputy Palace Lord Xiao of Nine Heaven Star Palace!
Long Yu didn't have the strength to avenge this blood feud, but it wasn't impossible.
"Wait here. I'll fool those guys in the Heavenly Tribulation Realm first."
Long Yu's perception was transmitted to the first floor of the Ancient Dragon Bone Tower through the Dragon Scale of the Tartarus Realm, where the stairs leading to the second floor were.
Here, Sha Yuantian, Ling Zhiping, Deputy Palace Lord Xiao, Linghu Qianyan, and others were still gathered together, discussing countermeasures. Until now, they still didn't know that the beast tide on the Heavenly Mandate Continent had been resolved.
Some cracks had appeared on the walls of the first floor of the Ancient Dragon Bone Tower, which made these Heavenly Tribulation Realm cultivators a little anxious.
What Long Yu wanted to do was to fool these guys and see if he could instigate a civil war between them. At the very least, he wanted to see if he could kill Deputy Palace Lord Xiao.
Killing someone wasn't the only way!
…
"If you guys don't come to an agreement soon, the ancient tower won't be able to hold on any longer. When that happens, none of you will be able to survive."
Long Yu's voice was transmitted through the Dragon Scale of the Tartarus Realm, landing in the ears of Sha Yuantian, Ling Zhiping, and the other Heavenly Tribulation Realm cultivators. Everyone was delighted.
That was because there was no more news from Long Yu after he set foot on the second floor of the Ancient Dragon Bone Tower. No matter how they begged, Long Yu didn't come out. It was obvious that he didn't want to care about what was happening here.
If this continued, wouldn't they all be doomed once the Ancient Dragon Bone Tower was destroyed?
Cracks had already appeared on the walls of the first floor of the Ancient Dragon Bone Tower. These cracks made everyone anxious, and they couldn't help but consider the possibility of the Ancient Dragon Bone Tower being destroyed by exotic beasts!
In reality, if not for the mysterious woman, Consort Yu, appearing, the Ancient Dragon Bone Tower might really have been destroyed by the exotic beast kings of the Imperial Path secret realms.
Now, Long Yu was taking advantage of the situation to threaten everyone.
"Long Yu, as long as you come out, everything can be discussed. Right now, it's more important for us to deal with the exotic beasts together."
Linghu Qianyan said with a solemn expression.
"That's right. Little Brother Long, you'd better come out quickly. Otherwise, the entire Heavenly Mandate Continent will fall and be occupied by exotic beasts. Your friends and family won't be able to survive!"
The little old man from the Chess Soul Valley said indifferently. His words were laced with a hint of threat.
"Haha, do you think that's enough to threaten me with that?"
Long Yu laughed and said straightforwardly, "If you guys agree to one condition of mine, I'll hand over the Ancient Dragon Bone Tower. Otherwise, we'll all die together."
"What condition?"
Everyone was excited.
"Kill Deputy Palace Lord Xiao."
Everyone's expressions changed at Long Yu's words.
