Tribulation of Myriad Races

At the same time.

Inside the mayor’s residence, the stone statue opened his eyes again. He looked somewhere with an odd expression. An ancient memory seemed to have awoken in his mind.

He was somewhat speechless.

Holy shit!

Was that fellow crazy? That damn fellow returned to a point hundreds of years in the past just to tell him that? His gaze landed somewhere in the city. His eyes shone, sending a beam of light toward the door of that building.

The three Sunmoon death spirits suddenly stopped their attempts at breaking through the door and looked toward the mayor’s residence. After a moment, they left. The stone statue’s gaze penetrated the building to land on the little furball. Wasn’t that the same soul devourer Su Yu brought to the city? This was a descendant of the Pseudo Emperor?

Then again, that wasn’t too surprising. There weren’t a lot of soul devourers around. How impressive. The ancient Pseudo Emperor had actually produced a descendant. He had thought that this little furball was from a different lineage.

Finally, the stone statue shut his eyes again. These fellows were so noisy.

The Pseudo Emperor of the soul devourers was so old that it felt like his memories were failing him. Was he staying in his realm because he couldn’t leave? Or was he simply unwilling to leave?

Soon, the stone statue threw the matter to the back of his mind. These troubles needed to end soon. He was feeling greatly annoyed. Why were all these bastards creating all sorts of troubles here? He had already turned into stone. Couldn’t they stop bothering him?

***

And thus, a rescue operation spanning time and space was completed. Nobody knew about it.

When the little furball noted that the sense of danger had vanished, he started bothering the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion again. As for the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion, they were finding this unknown individual increasingly annoying with his stream of bizarre questions.

At this time, Su Yu had received the message from the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion. He was surprised. Did the little furball encounter danger?

He noticed something else. Due to the thick death qi, voice transmission talismans were no longer working in the city. But the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion did not seem to have such trouble. No wonder the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion was such an excellent information peddler. Everyone else was probably still clueless as to what was happening in the city.

But the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion was probably receiving constant updates about the ongoings in the city.

“Should I go out?”

Su Yu was still quite worried. Would it be troublesome if he somehow encountered the three Sunmoon death spirits outside? Whatever. He decided to go out anyway.

He would not have the initiative if he remained in the building. And if he waited until the myriad race experts arrived, he wouldn’t be able to leave anymore.

He also noticed Dao Cheng’s new accomplishment through the index. He could guess that Silver Armor was the victim. That kill might allow Dao Cheng to enter the Mountainsea Realm. But he wasn’t too bothered.

He was more than happy to see all the mystic armors here dead. Served them right for giving him so much trouble. The mystic armor race would probably feel terrible after losing one Sunmoon, six Mountainseas, and two young geniuses. The Mystic Armor Realm as a whole was probably even weaker than Great Xia.

This wasn’t surprising. The human race was not weak, and Great Xia was one of the strongest human prefectures. And even Great Xia would be pained by the loss of one Sunmoon and six Mountainseas. Back when Su Yu caused the deaths of those people from the single character faction, Great Xia’s overall strength had actually weakened slightly.

Su Yu was happy to see the mystic armor race in pain. They should lose even more people.

Su Yu inhaled deeply as he prepared to move out. After exhausting a large amount of heavenly source qi, the injuries inflicted on his body by the death qi had been healed. Shortly after, he reversed his acupoints and turned his source qi into death qi. It was time for him to leave.

The index copy was left behind. In fact, he even went through all the other storage rings he looted to ensure that there were no other index copies in them. He would think of what to do after taking a look outside.

***

He opened the door.

It was completely silent outside. The entire city had turned into a silent city. He floated out of his building as a death spirit. A small number of death spirits could still be seen roaming the streets.

Too many of them had been killed previously. Su Yu was glad to see that there were still some death spirits in the city. It would be awkward if he was the only one left. But moments later, he blanked out.

Holy shit!

The ground was filled with ancient city medallions. There were countless of them. These were supposed to be extremely rare. After all, they were considered one of the opportunities one could obtain in ancient cities.

He only needed to walk a few steps to pick up several medallions. Of course, they were not medallions of particularly high levels. He started rushing toward the area where Jiu Xuan had launched her attack previously. There, a large number of Mountainsea death spirits had died. Perhaps he could find better ancient city medallions there. He still didn’t know what one could do with these medallions.

He only knew that these medallions could be used as a form of currency. The Heavenly Hunt Pavilion was willing to accept them as payment. The death spirit corpses were nowhere to be seen. They had all faded away upon their deaths. But their medallions were left behind.

Su Yu started searching the area. In fact, he wasn’t alone. Some death spirits were also doing the same. Ignoring all the death spirits, he started picking up the medallions from the ground.

Regardless of level, he kept every single medallion he found. Some time passed and he had gathered several medallions that felt much power impressive than the other medallions.

All the medallions had the image of the city branded on them. One of them was shining at the part representing the sixteenth ring, signifying that it was a sixteenth ring medallion. He had also picked some eighteenth ring and twentieth ring medallions.

Su Yu continued searching the area. Before long, he had gathered about a hundred medallions. At that point, it was getting harder and harder to find more medallions. The other death spirits were also picking up the medallions on the ground.

Su Yu stopped and looked around. The city was completely silent. Apart from the death spirits, nobody could be seen outside. Evidently, all the living beings were still too terrified to leave their buildings. The three Sunmoon death spirits were nowhere to be seen.

He started rushing toward his previous building. Soon, he reached. There was no death spirit around.

Su Yu cursed inwardly. Did the little furball lie to the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion? Where was the so-called danger? From the message he received, it sounded like the little fellow was on the verge of dying.

Because of that little fellow, he had left the safety of his shelter and came outside again. Then again, if it wasn’t for the little furball, he wouldn’t have been able to collect so many ancient city medallions either.

He knocked on the door.

After a moment, a voice rang out, “Who is this?”

“Me.”

“What’s the passcode?”

“…”

Fuck!

When did he give the furball a passcode? Did the little furball think that he was some pretender?

Su Yu said, “Hurry up or I won’t be giving you anything nice to eat.”

“Passcode accepted.”

The little furball opened the door. He was sure that this was Yummy. Only Yummy knew how much he loved eating. With the door open, the faint glimmer attached to the door by the stone statue dispersed into nothingness.

Neither Su Yu nor the little furball noticed that. Right after the door was opened, the little furball shot into Su Yu’s sea of willpower. Inside, he complained, “Yummy, a baddie knocked on the door earlier. That was so scary.”

“Nonsense!”

Su Yu was not buying that. It must have been a weak death spirit. This was only the eighteenth ring. A Sunmoon death spirit would have no trouble getting through the door. If it was a Sunmoon death spirit, how would the door remain locked until now?

“I’m not lying!”

“Yeah, yeah.”

Su Yu couldn’t even be bothered to argue. He shut the door and started moving away. Everyone knew this was his building. It would be absolutely unwise for him to remain here. With the little furball in his sea of willpower, Su Yu transformed into a death spirit again.

He was heading deeper into the city. All the people who were still alive were probably staying in the inner rings. But they wouldn’t be able to stay indoors for long. After all, the death qi of the inner rings were too thick. It was only a matter of time before they were forced to leave.

Perhaps he could wait outside some of these buildings and look for a chance to kill them just as they were leaving. Even if that didn’t work, it did not matter. At this point, nobody would dare to stop him from leaving anymore. He was better off looking for a way to leave the city instead. It would be a lot more troublesome if he ended up trapped in the city.

If the city gates were still open, he would have left by now. As for Dao Cheng and his other targets, it was fine to let them live a bit longer. There was no rush. To kill, he had to first preserve his own life.

Before long, the massive mayor’s residence entered his vision. Right at that moment, Su Yu noticed some movements from a large building near the mayor’s residence. He blanked out. He was about to head straight into the mayor’s residence, but someone was actually delivering themselves to him? In that case, it would be impolite for him to refuse this gift.

He raised his saber and aimed it at the door. The moment the door opened, he would cut the person behind it down…no, wait. He should first see who it was before doing so. It would be awkward if the person behind the door ended up being Qin Fang.

The door swung open, revealing a large bull who was slowly rotting away from death qi erosion.

Immediately after.

Whoosh!

A blade was swung, and a head was severed.

Su Yu put the corpse into his storage ring and muttered with surprise, “A second-stage Mountainsea mountainbreak bull?”

How lucky. He loved this race.

Then, he continued moving toward the mayor’s residence. This place might be extremely dangerous due to the existence of the mayor, who was a ninth-stage Sunmoon, but he had no choice. At this rate, the city would end up surrounded by Sunmoons. He had to leave before that.

Before long, he reached the mayor’s residence. Once again, the stone statue in the inner hall opened his eyes with exhaustion. He had already turned into stone. Why was peace and tranquility still so elusive?

This human…and that soul devourer were both troublemakers.

Just piss off already.
