Northern Alliance City.
The Ming Prefecture was a large city near Mount Xingluo. Beyond Mount Xingluo, a few hundred miles was the Southern Yuan City of Da Xia Province.
Teahouses and restaurants would always be the gathering place for rumors to spread.
The Ming Residence did not lack storytellers. Even if there was a television, the Ming Residence did not lack storytellers. What was the point of having a television? It only played the same few things every day. It was not interesting at all. How could it be as good as a storyteller?
Storytellers also had an important social responsibility in the Ming Prefecture. They were responsible for spreading gossip.
At this moment, in a teahouse in Northern Alliance City.
Su Yu sat in a private room, legs crossed, leaning on a chair, drinking tea and listening to the storyteller.
On the stage in front of him, the storyteller said loudly, "Just yesterday, late last night, a Mountain Sea cultivator from the Great Shang Prefecture, Gelao, was assassinated! How lawless! This is going to be chaos!
"In the past few months, let me count how many experts have died! First, a Mountain Sea commander from the Heavenly Rising Sea was assassinated, then a Mountain Sea from the Great Tang Prefecture was assassinated, then a Mountain Sea from the Great Qi Prefecture was assassinated, and last night, a Mountain Sea from the Great Shang Prefecture was assassinated … "
The storyteller was extremely agitated and indignant. "In the past few months, four Mountain Sea cultivators have been assassinated, and all of them are big shots with status! Through analysis, they are all done by a group of people. Lawless! "
Someone said in surprise, "The Great Shang Prefecture is not far from us. Even someone from the Great Shang Prefecture was assassinated? Didn't they say that the Six-Winged Divine Sect did it? But their Mountain Sea cultivators were all killed, and the two Sun and Moon cultivators ran away. How dare they continue to do it? "
The storyteller sighed and said, "Who knows? Right now, demons are running amok and the world is in chaos! All the prefectures have stepped up their patrols! Our Ming Prefecture is still okay. The last time five Sun and Moon cultivators attacked, they were all killed. It can be considered as a deterrent to those demons. "
"Sigh, these are really troubled times. This demon actually dared to sneak into the prefectures to assassinate the Mountain Sea cultivators. It's too scary."
Someone asked curiously, "Why did they kill these people? Was there anything special about these people? There are so many Mountains and Seas in the world. Why would you want to kill them? "
The storyteller said with a smile, "This, you really asked the right person! Supposedly, all of these experts had once led troops in the All-Heavens Battlefield, and all of them had made outstanding contributions. They'd killed countless people, and their subordinates were valiant and skilled in battle! I suspect that Wan wants to start a war, so he assassinated our brave generals first! "
As he laughed, his expression changed again. He frowned and said, "How troublesome! During this period of time, some of the valiant generals who have returned should be more careful. Although the Ming Constabulary is not good at fighting, there are still a few valiant generals who have returned from the frontlines. If something were to happen … ai! "
…
In the private room.
Su Yu had a thoughtful look on his face. The four Mountain and Sea experts from different prefectures were all in the Mountain and Sea realm, and had all been fierce generals in the past.
Could it be that the Wan was really preparing for war?
In his opinion, the storyteller's analysis was not unreasonable.
However, they were really bold. After killing several Mountain and Sea experts, they still dared to continue attacking. Was this the work of the Sun and Moon Empire?
As he thought about it, someone in the hall said disapprovingly, "If you say they're fierce generals, then I'll admit it. I know a bit about the Mountain and Sea expert from the Great Shang Constabulary who was killed. Years ago, he was stationed not far from our Heavenly Law Army. He couldn't be considered a fierce general, could he? However, he did kill some Wan. That guy isn't exactly a good person. I heard that before the war, he likes to arrange a squad of civilizational masters on the frontlines. Every time the civilizational masters are killed, he will lead the army to attack and kill the exhausted enemies. "
"There's such a thing? How come we've never heard of him? Don't talk nonsense. I heard that he's quite famous. "
"If you don't believe me, then forget it. In any case, I heard it from someone from the Great Shang Constabulary. Sometimes, when we returned to the headquarters, we would meet and chat."
"… …"
The storyteller also said, "There's such a thing? Then I really didn't hear about it. He's quite famous. Even if it's as you say, it might be a strategic arrangement. You can't say that he's not a fierce general just because of this. Old Huang, don't talk nonsense. Death is the most important thing. Don't let others think that Wan Zu's disciple is spreading lies! "
The person who had spoken nodded and smiled. "Isn't this the Ming Constabulary? I wouldn't dare to say such things in the Great Shang Constabulary. "
He was just gossiping.
As for evidence, he had only heard it from others. How could he know whether it was true or not?
…
In the private room.
Su Yu looked at the person who had spoken, and a strange thought arose in his mind. Sending out a squad of civilizational masters, who would first fight with the enemy, and then that person would lead the army to kill. This sounded a bit like a bait operation, to draw the snake out of its hole.
Civilizational master … Wan …
Bait … many Shenwen civilizational masters were good bait. Qin Zhen from the Great Qin Constabulary had told Su Yu before that he had used many Shenwen civilizational masters to fish. He had even killed big fish like Sun and Moon.
For some reason, Su Yu felt that if the Shanhai Empire had really sent out civilizational masters back then, they might have been from Shenwen civilizational masters.
However, it was just a feeling.
Moreover, they were already dead. Su Yu thought for a while, but he didn't think about it anymore.
Over the years, many Shenwen civilizational masters had been killed. This was also a fact. It was also related to the small number of civilizational masters from Shenwen civilizational masters. If they killed more and their numbers were low, they would naturally die.
In addition, many people from Shenwen civilizational masters liked to go to the battlefield. After all, they were considered the combat department of civilizational masters. It was normal for them to have a higher death rate.
…
Just as Su Yu was thinking about this.
Da Xia Province.
Education and Welfare Administration.
Ji Hong looked at the information. It was about the four generals who had been killed.
After a long time, Ji Hong sighed softly and muttered, "Chen Yong … you're going crazy!"
Others didn't see it and didn't pay attention to some details, but he did.
These four people were more or less related to Shenwen civilizational masters.
It wasn't obvious, but when he compared it to the other information he had obtained, many Shenwen civilizational masters had disappeared or died in the places where these people were.
"In the Ascending Heavens Sea, a few Shenwen civilizational masters have died. It's not the Shenwen civilizational masters … but a few people who were banished by Chen Yong died there."
It wasn't a one-off death. It was normal for one to die every three to five years.
After all, the Ascending Heavens Sea was where the sea demons were. So what if a weak civilizational master died every few years?
But when he took out the information about these people and combined it, he found that these people were more or less related to Chen Yong.
And Chen Yong … On the day that person was killed, Chen Yong was nearby!
Later, when the Great Tang Palace and the Great Qi Palace were killed, Chen Yong should have been nearby. It was only the Great Shang Palace that couldn't be determined. The main thing was that the two Sun and Moon of the Six-Winged Divine Church had run away. Now that no one was chasing Chen Yong, they couldn't find any trace of Chen Yong.
"He killed four Mountain and Sea generals in a row …"
Ji Hong had a complicated look in his eyes. It was a capital crime!
He would definitely die!
Did Chen Yong have evidence?
Even if he did, it definitely wasn't irrefutable. Otherwise, if there really was irrefutable evidence, those people had killed many Shenwen civilizational masters. Even if there was someone protecting them, if Chen Yong reported it to Da Xia Province and Da Xia Province had evidence, there was nothing to be afraid of.
He didn't do it because he didn't have enough evidence to prove everything.
He chose to assassinate them!
If he was discovered, he would definitely die. Assassinating human generals was something that even Wan Zu rarely dared to do.
Ji Hong sighed in his heart and picked up the information on the four Mountain and Sea generals again.
There was definitely some hidden connection between these four people.
Was the Invincible Realm behind them directing them?
Or had they secretly joined Wan Zu?
More than half a year ago, he had been looking up some information, including the names of many Shenwen civilizational masters who had died on the battlefield, the place of death, the time of death, and the army they served at the time of death …
And in some places in the Human Realm, how many Shenwen civilizational masters had died, and who had killed them.
He was sorting out the clues one by one.
Ji Hong closed his eyes, and the clues were gradually pointing in one direction.
"He wasn't doing it for a personal grudge … For a personal grudge, there was no need to kill so many Shenwen civilizational masters …"
At this moment, the clues were all pointing in one direction, but it was still unclear who it was.
But … it was actually somewhat clear.
These people actually did not have much contact with each other in the past, but there was one thing in common. Most of them had fought together on the battlefield of all heavens at the same time, and this was the biggest intersection between them.
In that case, the Invincible Realm in charge of the battlefield of all heavens at that time was the most likely to be related to them.
About 70 to 50 years ago, these people had served on the battlefield of all heavens at the same time.
20 years!
In these 20 years, these people might have been roped in by someone.
Who roped them in?
Who were the Invincible Realm in charge of the battlefield of all heavens?
There were many Invincible Realm experts in the Human Clan, and their whereabouts were a secret. Apart from the Great Qin King, who was always in charge, the other Invincible Realm experts would patrol from time to time. Under normal circumstances, when an Invincible Realm expert went to the battlefield of all heavens, they would patrol for at least 10 years before they were replaced.
In the Eastern Theater of Operations, there were more than 10 Invincible Realm experts on the battlefield at any time.
70 to 50 years ago, who were the Invincible Realm experts?
It was a bit difficult to find out.
However, it was not impossible to find out. If the speculation was true, then the Invincible Realm expert who had betrayed them was among these people. Otherwise, even if he was Invincible Realm expert, he would not be able to run around and rope in those generals.
Did he really think that the Invincible Realm experts of the other great prefectures were dead?
Only by patrolling an area on the battlefield would he have enough time and opportunity to choose people and rope them in!
Even if he wanted to rope them in, he would not do it without investigating.
This Invincible Realm expert must have discovered something during his patrol and felt that this person could be roped in, so he came forward to rope him in.
As for those who were roped in, it was likely that the Invincible Realm expert personally came forward. Otherwise, it would be very difficult to move them.
"Terrifying!"
Ji Hong thought to himself. At this moment, he already had some clues. As long as he found out who was in charge of the battlefield of all heavens back then, the traitor would be one of them!
Although it was still not clear, the target had shrunk a lot.
He did not know how many Invincible Realm experts there were in the Seeker State and the War God Temple, but there were at least more than 30. In an instant, he could eliminate two-thirds of the people.
"Chen Yong …"
He thought of Chen Yong again. Chen Yong was in danger!
This guy was too crazy.
The people he killed might have been roped in in the past. Since Chen Yong killed them, he was also telling the person behind the scenes that he had already caught hold of some dirt on him!
"This is putting yourself in danger. Once it's proven that you killed them, even if the Invincible Realm expert doesn't show up, as long as he finds evidence, he can send people to kill you openly!"
Ji Hong sighed. Chen Yong!
After a moment of silence, Ji Hong closed his eyes and suppressed the throbbing in his heart.
He … had to be careful.
These days, he had gathered a lot of information, some of which were military secrets. He might have already attracted some attention.
"Chen Yong … since you're at the front, I'll keep a low profile."
The corners of Ji Hong's mouth curled up slightly. I can only pray that you'll be careful.
…
Ming Constabulary.
Su Yu finished his tea and listened to the gossip for a while before he got up and left the teahouse.
Outside, the sun was shining brightly.
Su Yu rode on the Cloudsprinting Horse, traveling at a leisurely pace. It wasn't his style to be in a hurry. He preferred to take his time to appreciate the beautiful scenery and beauties.
He rode out of the city gate. Outside the city, a caravan was also traveling. Seeing Su Yu riding in the same direction as them, someone in the caravan made up of Earthly Dragon Beasts smiled. "Brother, this is the way to Mount Starfall. It's the way to Da Xia Province. Are you going to Da Xia Province?"
Su Yu tilted his head and asked lazily, "Yes, are you going there too?"
"Yes!"
The burly man smiled. "Brother, you're alone. Mount Starfall might have been eliminated last time, but it's still dangerous. Why don't you come with us?"
Su Yu yawned. "It's fine, brother. If you want to borrow my power, just say so. I'm easy to talk to. You can't hire a bodyguard without spending money."
The burly man burst into laughter.
That was true.
Those who dared to travel alone in the wilderness these days were all capable.
He noticed that Su Yu was wearing a white robe, which looked like a civilizer's attire, and that the guards at the gate were very polite to him in broad daylight. He guessed that Su Yu was a powerful figure, which was why he wanted to invite Su Yu along.
Otherwise, he wouldn't dare to invite Su Yu to join the caravan if they met in the wilderness.
"Brother, you're a straightforward man. I do have the intention …"
The burly man laughed for a while. "Brother … are you … Cui Lang, the Prodigal Swordsman?"
Someone in the caravan seemed to have remembered Cui Lang's name.
Soon, a few female guards in the caravan snorted in a barely audible voice.
Cui Lang was quite famous in the Ming Constabulary.
Of course, he was also famous in the Tang Constabulary.
He wasn't a good person!
Of course, the men could understand, but the women … were displeased.
Scumbag!
Su Yu laughed. "Brother, you know me? I haven't been out for a few years, but someone recognized me. Sure enough, geniuses are famous wherever they go. Since you know me, I'll escort you … but I'm not in a hurry. I'll walk slowly. If you're in a hurry, you can walk by yourself. "
"No hurry, no hurry!"
The burly man was also overjoyed. Cui Lang was already a Soar master a few years ago!
He might even be Ling Yun now!
To him, Cui Lang was already a big shot. The burly man had also reached the early stage of Soar, but he had only opened 36 chakras. Compared to an academy genius like Cui Lang, there was a huge gap.
For a caravan to have Soaring Sky as the leader, it was already very impressive.
Su Yu rode closer and smiled. "Brother, I haven't been out for a few years. Are there any outstanding beauties in Jianghu recently? Can you introduce them to me?"
"…"
Around them, the women snorted again. Su Yu curled his lips and said bluntly, "Ladies, stop snorting. I'm not interested in you. I, Cui Lang, have very high standards!"
"…"
Awkward. The man was also extremely embarrassed. He scolded, "What are you doing? No manners! Master Cui's character is good, but it's not that you don't have the guts to behave. Master Cui, don't lower yourself to their level. You're from a small place, so ignorant … "
Cui Lang was either at the eighth or ninth stage of Soar, or Ling Yun. He was indeed a big shot.
But it was said that he had a good temper, just that he liked to flirt. If he had a bad temper, people would not dare to snort.
Su Yu waved his hand. "It's fine, I'm used to it! When I see my women, they either smile happily or have a sour face. I'm used to it! Those with sour faces are usually not good-looking, which means I'm not looking at them … "
The man was embarrassed. The rumor that Cui Lang had a venomous mouth was indeed true.
He did not continue the topic. The man smiled. "Master Cui …"
"Don't, just call me Brother Lang!"
The boorish man laughed dryly again, but he did not say much. Soon, he said, "Speaking of beauties, there are indeed some, but Brother Lang should not be interested. They are all from some big families, and it's easy to get into trouble."
Su Yu's expression changed. He nodded. "Looks like there are still people who remember about me! Sigh, a single mistake causes everlasting sorrow! "
Someone in the team laughed. "Master, storytellers have told your deeds 99 times if not 100 times in the past few years! It's just that they have not said it much in these two years. Now that you've come out, your deeds will spread again very soon! "
The person who spoke was only at the Wan Shi realm. He spoke respectfully, but he could not help but smile.
It could not be helped. He was a little excited to see the legendary big shot chased by the ninth layer of Sun and Moon.
He really wanted to ask, was that granddaughter of the ninth layer of Sun and Moon too ugly?
Otherwise, why would you run!
Su Yu said disdainfully, "A bunch of boring fellows. It's those fellows who spread nonsense everywhere, that's why I'm stuck at the Ming Constabulary. Half of these storytellers in the Ming Constabulary should be killed!"
The man in the lead also laughed. "Brother Lang is right. But if they are really killed, the Ming Constabulary will lose half of its fun! Brother Lang, you're going to Da Xia Province this time … Is it to see those Wan beauties? "
Su Yu's heart stirred slightly. He laughed and said, "Good, you're well-informed! Have those Wan students arrived? It's already late May now. They should be arriving soon, right? "
"I'm really not sure about this."
The boorish man shook his head and said, "It's been two months since we last went to Da Xia Province. In these two months, Da Xia Province is a little chaotic, so we didn't go there. Now that we heard that Da Xia Province is much quieter, we've sent some goods over."
"What are you transporting?"
Su Yu looked at those earthly dragon beasts. They were all transporting a lot of things.
There were cars in the Human Realm, but they weren't suitable for use in the wilderness.
The Ming Constabulary had mounts, but the space wasn't big and the cost to build them wasn't low. They weren't suitable for transporting goods. Earthly dragon beasts were more suitable.
"Some small things."
The boorish man laughed and said, "We have everything. There are also some casual works of Civilization Masters. The Ming Constabulary doesn't lack them. We need to transport them to Da Xia Province. I'll make a trip and earn some cultivation money. "
Su Yu laughed and said, "Writings of Will? You dare to sell them? "
"The Ming Constabulary doesn't restrict these. Da Xia Province restricts the flow, but they don't restrict the flow."
The boorish man laughed and said, "They're not worth much. They're all casual works, and there aren't many of them. If we're lucky, we can earn a few hundred merit points. There are so many of us. There's nothing we can do. Itinerant cultivators can't take on many missions. Those in the All-Heavens Battlefield aren't from the military. It's too dangerous."
Su Yu nodded and said, "It's really miserable. We only earn a few hundred merit points per trip, and you have dozens of people. Unlike me, I can casually forge a few Wenbing and earn a few hundred merit points easily … "
"…"
How heartbreaking!
The boorish man was speechless. He knew that Cui Lang was a blacksmith, so he smiled and said, "Brother Lang, do you have any casual works that you don't need? Why don't … "
"Don't even think about it. I forge Wenbing for beauties. Are you one?"
"Hahaha, Brother Lang is a man of character indeed!"
"…"
The boorish man was also speechless. He forced a smile and thought, 'Damn it, you're still being reckless?
Believe it or not, that person from the Tang Constabulary will come looking for you! '
Along the way, Su Yu's speed was not fast, and the caravan also slowed down. With a top-notch Soar expert following them, it was much safer. It didn't matter if they delayed for a few days. Safety first.
Along the way, the boorish man said, "Mount Xingluo has been a lot more peaceful recently. In the past, we always had to take a detour and didn't dare to go through Mount Xingluo. In the past, there were many bandits and Wan Zu people here. We have to thank Su Yu for this. Otherwise, we would have to take a detour of several hundred li every time we transported goods."
Then, the boorish man said, "But as time went on, bandits started gathering here again. They're not as strong as before, and most of them are Qianjun Wan Shi people. They extort some money, but they don't kill and rob anymore."
Su Yu was puzzled. "Then what are you afraid of? You're already Soar! "
The boorish man sighed. "There's no need for that. These people are very difficult to deal with. Unless you kill them all at once, they'll keep pestering you like flies. There's no need to keep pestering people when doing business. But we've reported this to the Ming Constabulary. We'll wait for them to send people to encircle us. The Ming Constabulary now has an army of tens of thousands of experts, and they're all Soar.
Su Yu nodded slightly and smiled. "I wonder if there are any beauties among the bandits …"
Women were always the topic of conversation!
The boorish man was also speechless. Of course, he was gradually getting used to it. He smiled and said, "Brother Lang, there might not be beauties, but when we reach Da Xia Province, there's no lack of them. I'll treat you later …"
"Tsk, forget it. The place you're going is too low-class!"
"Hahaha, Brother Lang is right. I'm too poor, there's nothing I can do."
"…"
The two of them chatted as they walked. Su Yu also inquired about the recent situation in Da Xia Province. There was nothing major. It was just that Xia Xiao 'er had been scolded, and the Great Xia Civilization University was going to recruit more students from Wan.
At the end of the conversation, the boorish man's words attracted Su Yu's attention.
"Brother Lang, you have to be careful when you go to Da Xia Province this time. I know Brother Lang's habits, and you don't want to provoke the descendants of those great clans. But there are many descendants of great clans in the prefecture capital of Da Xia Province now! It's said that the descendants of clans from the two Holy Lands have come to Da Xia Province to study. "
The boorish man reminded him. "Among them, there are even descendants of invincible kings! There are countless descendants of the Sun and Moon Empire! In addition to the people from Wan, Da Xia Province is now chaotic and still peaceful. That's because Dazhou Prefecture hasn't been very peaceful recently. Anyway, after this shipment, I might not come to Da Xia Province to do business in the future. "
Su Yu nodded. Descendants of great clans?
How many?
Many descendants of invincible kings?
They must be here because of Hong Tan's splitting method.
As they walked, they chatted.
The group entered the territory of Mt. Starfall.
Half a day later, Su Yu killed a guy who had just entered Soar with a sword. He snorted, and under the reverent gaze of the boorish man, he said in a clear voice, "I, Su Yu, entered Mt. Starfall. It's fine if I don't treat you with beauties, but you even dare to rob me! In any case, you are a Soar, and yet you still do such filthy things. How disgusting! "
Silence.
The people in the caravan all had looks of reverence on their faces. Regardless of whether it was real or fake, there was definitely reverence.
Amazing!
He killed a Soar with a sword. Their caravan only had that boorish man. If that was the case, then Cui Lang could also kill the leader with a sword. No wonder the leader was so polite to Cui Lang.
A person's name was like a tree's shadow.
Cui Lang, who hadn't left Tiandu Prefecture for a few years, seemed to have become stronger. No wonder he was the genius that caused the two great prefectures to discuss.
…
Su Yu didn't care too much about this. Instead, he was thinking, where did this Soar come from?
Were these people from Wan Zu?
Not necessarily!
They might have been sent by others. As for why … it might be to find the relic that he had mentioned before.
Of course, if Su Yu said that the relic was fake, no one would believe him.
This place wasn't far from Southern Yuan, and it felt like there might be a relic. These guys might not be from Wan Zu. They might have been sent by someone else to find the relic.
Of course, with such weak strength, it was more likely that they were sentries.
Anyway, even if there were experts, there was a high probability that they would not dare to make a move.
Find the relic and keep a low profile.
Cui Lang was also a famous person in Ming Prefecture. If he died here, Ming Prefecture would definitely send people to investigate. It would be troublesome if experts were attracted.
…
As expected.
Not long after Su Yu and the others left, someone came to the side of the man who had just been killed, glanced at the body, and whispered, "Cui Lang … Niu Baidao's nominal disciple. If it weren't for that person, Niu Baidao would have taken him in. This guy ran out!"
Soon, there was one more person next to him. He said with a smile, "That person is in closed-door training. It's normal for him to come out at this time. Forget it, don't cause trouble! This guy is not easy to deal with. There's no need to avenge a dead man. This guy could have stopped anyone, but he had to stop Cui Lang. That guy must have been suffocating these years. "
"That's true."
The two talked for a while. Soon, one of them said, "It's very likely that Mount Starfall is not there. Otherwise, Su Yu wouldn't have exposed himself. That person from Ming Prefecture didn't care about this place either. Do you think it's still in Southern Yuan?"
"It's possible, but we can't go there. It's too dangerous with the sun and the moon there!"
"Alas!"
The one who spoke sighed. "The relic of the Invincible Realm … If we can really enter it, even if we can't become invincible, the sun and the moon shouldn't be too difficult. What a pity."
"There's nothing to feel pity about. I think sooner or later there will be chaos in Da Xia Province. The experts stationed in Southern Yuan may soon leave. After all, they have found nothing so far …"
"Then we may not be able to find it."
"Let's try our luck. This thing doesn't belong to you just because you have enough strength. When Su Yu inherited it, he was only Kaiyuan."
"…"
The two chatted for a while and soon disappeared.
As for the dead man, no one cared.
As for Cui Lang … there was no need to care about him. He was not a target that must be killed. Killing him would bring no benefits and would only bring trouble to oneself. If they really killed Cui Lang, Ming Prefecture might not care, but that person from Tang Prefecture might intervene. It was their business to fight and kill. Maybe Cui Lang was his grandson-in-law.
…
At this time, Su Yu turned his head and glanced behind him. He smiled. There were two Ling Yunjing.
He didn't know whose family they were, or if they were from Wan Zu.
Forget it, there was no need to pay attention to them.
With Cui Lang's temperament, he generally didn't care about things that had nothing to do with him. There was no need to expose himself just to kill two Ling Yunjing.
Southern Yuan, they were about to arrive.
After leaving Mount Starfall, they would arrive at Southern Yuan in a day at most.
I'm back again!
Su Yu looked ahead and couldn't see anything, but he still sighed. He was back. He hoped that this small city could be peaceful forever. It was a pity that he was born here. The relic of the Invincible Realm … also affected many people's hearts.
