The next day.
Early in the morning, at the entrance to the Primordial Spirit Research Institute.
Wang Zhishan and Chen Ming were here, watching the genius students and powerful researchers coming and going. Their eyes were filled with envy.
Birds of a feather flock together.
If one didn't reach that position, the people they came in contact with would be different. Like them, they would at most interact with ordinary students, while Su Yu's side was filled with geniuses.
After a while, Su Yu came out.
"My apologies for keeping you waiting!"
Su Yu looked at the time. It was just 7 o 'clock. These two were quite early.
Chen Ming said, "Class leader, we came early."
Su Yu smiled and did not say much. He quickly said, "Then let's go to the Myriad Tribe Pit."
The three set off, not walking, but going to the Beast Tamer Institute to rent an Earth Dragon Beast. It was big, suitable for many people to ride on. Its power was average, but its skin was thick.
Renting it for a day cost one merit point.
It wasn't expensive, mainly because it was convenient.
As for cars, it was sometimes inconvenient when they ran into rugged roads. This kind of fiend beast was more suited to the terrain.
…
Outside the Civilization Institute.
Su Yu's group of three rode the Earth Dragon Beasts. They ran fast, their backs flat, without any jolts.
The people on the streets didn't find this strange. This was Da Xia Province, the capital city.
In this place, there were usually many experts who could fly in the sky.
Riding fiend beasts wasn't uncommon either. Of course, one needed a permit. Without a permit, one couldn't fly or ride a fiend beast, to avoid the traffic jams in the capital city. Of course, the Civilization Institute had this right.
The Earth Dragon Beast sped forward. Wang Zhishan was afraid Su Yu didn't understand the situation, "Su Yu, it's about an hour before we reach the Wan Pit. Wan Zu's people are usually executed there. It's not dangerous, but after some experts die, they leave behind a lot of resentment and baleful energy. You should nurture it in Shenwen. Don't go there, just find a place with weak baleful energy."
"Senior Wang is right."
Su Yu nodded, not saying much, keeping his eyes on the Perception Jade.
Now that he was outside, he didn't dare to be careless.
As for Old Wan's promise that Mountain Sea cultivators and cultivators above the Mountain Sea realm wouldn't make a move against him, well... who knew if Old Wan's words could be taken seriously?
The Perceptive Jade flickered from time to time, but it was usually blue.
This meant that Soar was watching him!
Su Yu was not surprised. There were many Soar Realm cultivators in Da Xia Province. There might be one on the roadside. Although he had to be careful, there was no need to be too afraid.
Ling Yunjing hadn't noticed them yet. They didn't know if she wasn't interested in observing them or if she hadn't met them yet.
…
Meanwhile.
Da Xia Province, suburbs.
In a large house.
This was a large family on the outskirts of the city. They were quite famous in the area, but they couldn't compare to the big families and aristocratic families in the city. However, they still had a Soar in charge, and there was more than one Soar in the family.
In the basement.
At this moment, the surrounding restrictions were activated, and the light was dim.
"Su Yu wants to go to the Wan pit!"
In the basement, several figures were faintly discernible.
"Su Yu... this is a big fish! The previous reward was 5,000 contribution points, and now it has increased again. It's a full 8,000 contribution points, provided that he is captured alive! "
After a while, an old woman said in a shrill voice, "I know. I heard that he set up a research institute to study... the Primordial Spirit Aperture? Did the higher-ups take it seriously? A kid who just entered school said that he could discover the Primordial Spirit Aperture that even the Invincible Realm couldn't. Do you believe it? "
The old woman's voice was filled with disdain and doubt.
The Primordial Spirit Aperture!
The research institute had just been established yesterday, and the news had already spread. Da Xia Province... it was difficult to keep secrets. All the big prefectures were like this.
However, Su Yu had enlightened 300 apertures. This was something that many people thought he had a chance of succeeding.
Perhaps he had really discovered something!
On the left of the old woman, an old man with white hair was smoking a hookah. The smoke filled the air, and he laughed. "It doesn't matter whether we believe it or not. What's important is that the higher-ups are interested. In fact, there are many people who are interested in him. 300 apertures enlightened … how long has it been? I'm afraid it's not just for the Primordial Spirit Aperture. He himself is an excellent research material... Moreover, he has mastered the cultivation method of the Soul Devouring Art, and he should have inherited some information about the Gifted Blood Essence from the Wentan Research Center... "
Su Yu's value was not low!
If they really captured him alive, they could dig out something from his mouth. It was not something that could be compared to 8,000 contribution points.
"There's also Xia Jia's Heaven Splitting Blade. He cultivates a top-notch Heaven-class technique. I heard that he also knows a few Heaven-class techniques... This guy is very valuable."
After the old man finished speaking, the old woman frowned. "Xia Jia's Heaven Splitting Blade... This is Da Xia Province. Coveting this thing is courting death! The fact that Xia Jia dared to pass it down means that he is not afraid of others finding out. However, who would dare learn it? Without Xia Jia's permission, even if our men were to use it, even if they reach Sun and Moon … they will not be able to escape Xia Jia's pursuit! "
It was best not to covet this thing!
Courting death!
The old man smiled and said, "I don't have the idea of opening Heaven Splitting Blade. Likewise, the higher-ups might not have the guts to learn it. However, if we can find out about it, even if we seal it up or study it, we will be able to gain some understanding of Xia Jia."
Heaven Splitting Blade … … there were many who coveted it. In recent years, with the exception of those whom Xia Jia allowed to learn it, it was not as if no one had learned it. However, without exception, those who revealed their knowledge of it did not live long.
As for whether or not there were those who had learned it and were hiding it, that was unknown. At any rate, no one would dare use it in public. That was the might of Xia Jia.
Even if I let you learn it, you wouldn't have the guts to learn it!
The old man did not continue talking about Xia Jia. Instead, he turned to look at the others there.
Including him and the old woman, there were five of them.
There was also a young man, a young woman, and a boy who looked like a child.
"Guys … What do you think? Should we make a move? The Wan Pit is surrounded by Long Wuwei. If we enter the city, we won't dare to make a move. If we really want to make a move, the distance between the Wan Pit and the inner city is about 20 kilometers. We can't get close to the inner city or the Wan Pit … At most, 10 kilometers will be our chance. "
With the speed of the Earthly Dragon Beasts, ten kilometers could be covered in about five minutes.
If they really wanted to make a move, this would be their chance.
The child who had not spoken before now said in a childish voice, "Su Yu is a genius of the Civilization Academy. When he goes out, does anyone secretly protect him? That's the key! If someone secretly protects him … we will be courting death! "
The old man continued to smoke his cigarette and said with a smile, "Chen Yong did not leave the library. That's for sure. As for the rest … I don't know. According to the news from the higher-ups, Su Yu went out with two students. One of them hasn't matured yet, and the other has only just matured. Su Yu himself … is not weak. A first-level Soar might not be able to defeat him. "
They did not underestimate Su Yu.
The evaluation given was that a low-level Soar might not be able to defeat him, and a low-level Soar definitely wouldn't be able to defeat him.
For the freshmen, this was a very high evaluation of strength. After all, Su Yu was a student who might take the first place on the Top 100 List.
"What about Hong Tan? Will he show up? "
"…"
At the mention of Hong Tan, the few of them shut up. They didn't know that.
A half-step Sun and Moon Cultivator was not someone they could understand.
The child's voice was still childish, but he said worriedly, "I'm afraid that if Hong Tan shows up, we will all die! Doesn't a genius like Su Yu have any protection when he goes out? "
If they put themselves in the shoes of such a genius, they would also have a Dao Protector in their place.
The old woman said sharply, "How can there be so many people from Shenwen?! Chen Yong is the strongest now. Hong Tan is in seclusion to break through the Sun and Moon Realm. How can he come out?! If Bai Feng goes to the All-Heavens Battlefield, who will help them? Wu Yuehua and Gelao don't work and only protect a student day and night? "
Seeing that the others were still silent, the old woman said angrily, "Capture him, 8,000 contribution points! There are five of us, and each of us will get 1,600 points. It's enough for us to exchange for some treasures. There's even hope that we can enter Ling Yun … Otherwise, are we going to waste our time until Ling Yun arrives? If we don't do this, do we have a chance? "
Su Yu was currently the weakest, but the one with the highest bounty.
A full 8,000 contribution points. Even assassinating Ling Yun wouldn't have that much.
The key was that a genius like him might have other good things on him.
For example, Wenbing. Although it was hard to sell unmatched Wenbing, there were also some top-secret cultivation techniques.
As long as it wasn't the Heaven Splitting Saber, it would be fine.
For example, blood essence, Primordial Qi liquid, and even other natural treasures. These geniuses might have them on them. After all, Su Yu was going there to cultivate.
Everyone was silent for a long time. The old man tapped his pipe, and the old woman quieted down.
After a while, the old man said, "It's not easy to establish our stronghold! The five of us are all Soar. We've been hiding here for so many years and provided a lot of information to the sect. Our contributions are not small, and we get a lot of rewards every year. In a year, we can get 200 to 300 contribution points … "
For the Soar, this was not a small amount.
When Bai Feng was in the institute, he only got 300 to 400 contribution points a year.
But compared to the rewards from capturing Su Yu, it was equivalent to seven to eight years of work.
Su Yu himself wasn't dangerous to them. What was scary was that he had a Dao Protector, which was very dangerous.
The old man was silent for a while and said, "Crazy woman, go and observe along the way. You don't have to make a move unless you're sure that there are no protectors. Otherwise, everyone should be careful. We've been hiding here for so many years. Don't fail just for one mission!"
"Also, ask the higher-ups if there are any protectors on Su Yu's side. The Shenwen faction may not have anyone, but it's hard to say for the Civilization Institute …"
The old woman said in a shrill voice, "Okay, I'll go and take a look! We're not in a hurry. He won't make a move on the way there. We'll talk about it when he comes back! "
At this time, the young woman in the basement suddenly smiled and said, "The boy and I will also go and observe. Let's get closer to the pit of Wan. If there are really experts following him, it will be strange."
"Okay!"
The old man nodded and said in a deep voice, "How about we don't make a move? We must be confident if we do! Eight thousand contribution points isn't easy to get. If it were easy, it wouldn't be worth it. We'll treat him as if he's Ling Yun. If we really want to make a move, we'll go all out. The five of us will attack together! "
The young woman and the old woman were at the 7th stage of Soar, while he was at the 9th stage of Soar. The boy and the youth were at the 5th stage of Soar and the 3rd stage of Soar.
With this kind of power, they could even put up a fight against Ling Yun.
If it were just Su Yu, it wouldn't be a problem at all.
…
The Earth Draconic Beasts raced.
Wang Zhishan and Chen Ming chatted in low voices, while Su Yu looked around, as if he had never left the city before.
It wasn't like he never left the city. He saw it when he entered the city that day.
But it had to be said that Da Xia Province was flourishing and powerful.
Even in the outskirts, there was an endless stream of horses and carriages, a boiling cauldron of voices.
Wang Zhishan reminded him, "We'll be there soon. The Earth Draconic Beasts are fast, and there are fewer people in the outskirts."
The inner city was huge, and it would take a long time to reach the city gate from the Civilization Institute.
If he did, he'd reach the Wan Pit.
Su Yu nodded with a smile. The perception jade in his mind operated as usual. There were fewer experts in the outskirts, and the perception jade didn't change at all.
After the Earth Draconic Beasts ran for a while, there were fewer people. The road ahead was wide, but with fewer pedestrians.
At this moment, Su Yu's Perceptive Jade changed slightly.
Blue!
Soar is watching me!
Su Yu didn't bat an eyelid as he looked around, as if enjoying the scenery, "Senior Wang, are there many Soar experts outside the city?"
Wang Zhishan smiled, "Soar experts are the backbone of the city. There are many in Da Xia Province. There are also some outside the city, some passing by, and some living nearby."
"Living?"
Su Yu asked curiously, "There's more Primordial Qi in the city. Why don't you go there?"
"Soar should have the capital to do that, right?"
Wang Zhishan explained, "There are many experts in the city. As a Soar, you might not be a big shot in the city, but your status in the outskirts isn't low. Some Soar have industries here. Some mines and factories are owned by them. They're not worse than in the city, and it's not easy to provoke experts. "
Su Yu nodded. At this moment, he looked at an old woman.
He didn't look at her for long. He quickly looked away, as if he was just glancing at her.
The old woman was walking slowly on the road. Seeing the Earth Draconic Beasts, she made way for them.
Su Yu ignored her, but he was vigilant.
She should be the one, right?
Soar State!
So low-key?
It's normal for experts to keep a low profile, but it's not normal for them to make way for their own Earth Draconic Beasts.
Is the Soar State so low profile?
She gave way when she saw an Earth Draconic Beast?
He had met a few Soar State cultivators on the road before, and they usually wouldn't give way unless they were in the middle of the road. This old woman was just on the side of the road. Why would she give way?
Su Yu didn't say anything. The Earth Draconic Beast quickly ran away.
Behind him, the old woman was still walking slowly.
After Su Yu left, the old woman looked at Su Yu and slowly walked on the same spot for a while. About two or three minutes later, the old woman was sure that no one followed her, unless they were at the Mountain Sea State.
Otherwise, even if it was Ling Yun, she would more or less feel something.
"No one!"
"You've got guts!"
The old woman was a little surprised. However, after thinking about it, she realized that it was normal not to bring anyone because they were moving in the Da Xia Province. Besides … there might not be anyone with them.
The old woman didn't say anything and continued walking in silence.
…
At the same time.
In the air.
A middle-aged man crossed the void and glanced at the old woman below. He frowned slightly and left quickly without saying anything.
The old woman below didn't notice anything unusual.
As the middle-aged man flew, he sent a voice transmission talisman. "Hu Lao, there are many Soar State cultivators on the road. They are all famous. I can check their backgrounds, but I didn't find anything unusual! By the way, Su Yu brought his own guardian beasts, two Ling Yunjing ones. "
Da Xia Province.
Steward Hu couldn't help but laugh. This little guy was well-prepared. He was quite afraid of death.
It was just a trip to the Wan Pit, and he brought two Ling Yunjing guardian beasts.
"The Wan Pit …"
Nurturing Shenwen?
Steward Hu fell into deep thought. Was he really going to nurture Shenwen?
The Primordial Spirit Research Institute had just been established. Why didn't Su Yu stay there and go to the Wan Pit?
He was a little suspicious, but he didn't say anything. He quickly sent a voice transmission. "Continue to follow him. Be careful! Although the Primordial Spirit Aperture is just a concept, Su Yu has enlightened 300 apertures. Many people are interested in him. "
He still had to be careful.
The Primordial Spirit Aperture was just a concept. If it was really discovered … it wouldn't be a problem for a Mountain Sea Realm cultivator to stop. It was enough to change the situation of the entire Human Realm. It was probably a situation where one could kill an invincible opponent.
Of course, the premise was that Su Yu didn't expose himself. If the news spread, killing Su Yu wouldn't be of much use.
Steward Hu was thinking about whether he should quickly take over the research institute if Su Yu really discovered the Primordial Spirit Aperture.
Thinking of this, he suddenly laughed.
He was actually thinking about Su Yu's success!
How interesting!
…
The Wan Pit was getting closer.
From afar, he could see a blood-red smoke drifting in the air. It was as if the place was shrouded in blood mist.
Su Yu could feel the killing intent from a distance. He couldn't help but ask, "How many did he kill?"
Wang Zhishan smiled bitterly. "Don't you know our Prefecture Master? Everyone in Da Xia Province knows that he doesn't leave anyone alive. He beheads them every few days! In Da Xia Province, there are prisons, but there are no prisoners on death row. The prisoners on death row have either gone to the battlefield or been dragged here to be beheaded. It's been decades. How many people do you think have died? "
Su Yu thought about it. He often saw Xia Long Wu beheading people on television.
He would come at least once a month, and he would behead at least a dozen people.
At least a hundred people a year.
This was normal. For example, this year, the Wan Zu Pit caused a huge commotion. He had beheaded several thousand people.
The Wan Pit had buried at least tens of thousands of people, maybe even more.
And they were all cultivators!
Their qi and blood were strong, and some civilization masters even had their willpower overflowing, causing the murderous aura here to boil.
"The Prefecture Master's killing intent is indeed strong!"
Su Yu nodded. Only such a Prefecture Master could control Da Xia Province, so that Wan Zu would not dare to cause trouble in Da Xia Province. He heard that in other prefectures, Wan Zu dared to appear in broad daylight and preach his ideals.
Up ahead was the Wan Pit.
Su Yu had already seen Long Wuwei!
This place was patrolled by Long Wuwei.
Su Yu's Earthly Dragon Beast did not dare to move forward. It was hundreds of meters away from the Wan Pit. There was a resting pavilion and a post for tying horses.
There were also people guarding this place.
Seeing Su Yu's Earthly Dragon Beast, the guard quickly said, "From Da Xia Civilization University? How long? The Earthly Dragon Beast is kept here, and you get one merit point a day! "
"…"
Su Yu felt helpless and complained in his heart.
This is robbery!
Why is Da Xia Province robbing people for no reason these days?
Although he was helpless, he still had to stop. It was an exclusive deal. If the Earthly Dragon Beast ran away, Su Yu would have to compensate the academy hundreds of merit points.
He got off the Earthly Dragon Beast and started to store it.
On the side, a young woman and a child were also parking their mounts.
A Cloud Galloping Horse!
Su Yu had seen it before. He had ridden it during the advanced assessment.
The young woman was not weak!
Soar State!
The Perceptive Jade sent a blue alert, but Su Yu did not pay much attention. It was normal. There were many Soar State, and he could see them everywhere in Da Xia Province.
As if sensing Su Yu's observation, the young woman turned to look at him, smiled, and nodded. Holding the child's hand, she said to the guard, "Xiao Zhang, I'm going in to collect some Evil Qi. I'll be back soon. Don't charge me this time. Your fees are too high!"
The guard seemed to know her and said with a smile, "Madam Zhang, I didn't set this rule. It's Hou Ye's rule. If you stop, you'll lose at least one merit point! Otherwise, we won't be responsible if the horse is lost! "
"Black-hearted!"
The young woman scolded with a smile. Without another word, she led the child to the nearby Wan Pit.
Su Yu glanced in that direction but did not care.
But after some thought, he suddenly said in a low voice, "Brother, she's going in with the child … Nothing will happen, right?"
The guard waited until the young woman and the child were far away before he said with a smile, "That's Madam Zhang, the young madam of a rich family nearby. Her child was injured during cultivation and needs the Evil Qi to suppress the backlash. It'll be fine."
Su Yu nodded. He just felt that it was not appropriate to bring a child with her. After hearing the explanation, he did not say anything else.
Without further questions, Su Yu walked in that direction.
The Wan Pit was very big, and walls were built around it to prevent people from entering by mistake. There was an opening in the wall, and a small team of Long Wuwei was guarding it.
The Long Wuwei guarding it were all at the peak of Wan Shi, and there should be some Soar realm cultivators hiding in the dark. Su Yu sensed the changes in the Perceptive Jade, but did not pay much attention to it.
Su Yu showed the academy's mission order. The Long Wuwei checked it and quickly said, "You can go in. Pay five merit points. Also, don't go too deep. Those who died there were all experts, so don't get any ideas. You students just like to dream, hoping that the experts will leave some inheritance for you. How can the inheritance of Wan Zu compare to the academy's?"
The other party was very straightforward, which was also what many people dreamed of.
As he said this, he reminded, "The place where the experts died is full of murderous aura and Evil Qi. Once the Sea Of Will is hit, it's normal for people like you to be hit directly by the Sea Of Will. I think you know the price, so don't mess around!"
"Thank you for the reminder, Brother!"
Su Yu thanked him and said with a smile, "I won't court death."
"It's good that you understand. Let's go in!"
Su Yu nodded and walked in with Wang Zhishan and Wang Zhishan. As soon as they entered, they smelled a rotten stench.
It was suffocating!
Not far away, the young woman was collecting the Evil Qi floating in the air.
The child was right beside her. Strands of Evil Qi entered his body, as if to suppress his injuries. He's young. Is there something wrong with Kaiyuan's acupoints?
Su Yu guessed in his heart, but he did not care about other people's business.
Not planning to stay here for long, Su Yu walked in. After a few steps, he suddenly frowned. I'm just a passerby. Why do you keep observing me?
His Perceptive Jade changed color again.
It had changed color several times!
This young woman must be observing me. Once is enough, but several times in a row. Do you think I don't have a temper?
Under normal circumstances, I wouldn't notice it.
But don't I have the Perceptive Jade?
Su Yu frowned, not uttering a word. His heart was filled with doubt, We don't know each other, yet you keep observing me. This isn't right!
She was someone the soldiers knew, so she must be from a large clan in the vicinity. After all, she was a Soar expert.
He didn't care before, and didn't think too much about it. But now … he couldn't help but think.
F * ck!
Is it normal for a Soar to secretly observe a student when we don't know each other?
Wang Zhishan and Chen Ming didn't notice anything amiss.
Su Yu frowned, but didn't say anything and kept walking.
The Wan Pit was a huge pit, but there were paths around it. He could follow them and go deeper. He didn't need to go into the pit and smell the rotten stench, though it would be the same if he was above.
Su Yu kept walking, and the Perceptive Jade didn't change color.
The young woman was no longer observing him.
But Su Yu paid attention. This guy has been observing me for a few hundred meters, and yet she's still staring at me. Maybe she's a bad guy!
As for attracting her attention because of my good looks … that's also a possibility.
But Su Yu wasn't interested in her at all!
How old was the child? He might look young, but he was at least fifty or sixty years old. Did he want to eat the cradle?
…
Once Su Yu was far away, the young woman transmitted, "Is there a problem?"
The boy also transmitted, "I didn't find anything, but this guy … his energy is really thick!"
He was filled with envy and jealousy!
Even if Su Yu hid his energy, it gave him the feeling that Su Yu was a savage beast!
Is this a genius?
So many opened apertures!
The boy's eyes were filled with envy. In his time, he only opened 72 apertures and advanced to Soar. The gap between him and Su Yu was too big.
The young woman collected some more murderous aura and transmitted, "If there's no problem, go back first. Stay close to me. Don't be discovered."
When the boy was with her, she exposed her Soar strength and hid the boy's abnormality. Even if others sensed Soar, they would only think that it was her and not the boy who was also Soar.
The boy transmitted, "You're not going to do it here?"
"Idiot!"
The young woman cursed!
This was Wan's trap!
With the Dragonmartial Sentinels outside, it was indeed safe to kill them here. However, if they were to go out and find out that they were dead, they would be hunted down everywhere. After all, they had left behind quite a few belongings, and the Zhang Clan was quite reputable in this area.
In order to kill Su Yu, they were all killed.
If they wanted to kill them, they had to do it secretly so that no one would guess that they were the ones who did it. Besides, if it wasn't to kill Su Yu, it would be best if they could capture Su Yu alive.
"Let's go back first. The crazy woman has already gone back!"
The young woman ignored him. She knew that he was jealous.
Being jealous of geniuses and resenting geniuses was a common problem for many people. A genius like Su Yu was envied by his friends and worshipped by the weak. Naturally, his enemies would be jealous and resent him. Why can't I open hundreds of apertures?
It's not that I'm stupid. It's that I don't have the opportunity and background that Su Yu has …
These were the thoughts of these people!
The boy was a little angry after being scolded. He didn't say much and walked out with the young woman.
Before leaving, he looked at Su Yu's back disappearing in the blood mist again. A cold look appeared in his eyes. So what if he was a genius? He was still finished!
No one to protect him!
Fortunately, the Shenwen faction had really declined. Otherwise, such a genius would at least have had Ling Yun to protect him in the past.
But now, there was no discovery at all.
