Wuxin raised her brows. “In battle, I’m way stronger than him.”

Su Yu said, “It was just him deliberately showing weakness because he has never shown you his second mutant ability!”

Wuxin gasped in shock. “He has a second mutant ability?”

“I’m afraid so. Apart from their fourth and fifth brothers, they all have mutant abilities. He is the one who hid it the best!” Su Yu stated calmly.

The Duckbill Beast stared at Su Yu with his clear eyes and said, “The Blood Demon was truly right about something: you are terrifying, especially as an enemy!”

“Even now, I wouldn’t dare to attack you. Before you truly die, no one would know what other horrendous schemes you have in store!!”

He shot a look at Su Yu’s sleeves with hints of vigilance gleaming in his eyes.

Su Yu chortled. “Is your second mutant ability seeing through pretense? That makes you see everyone’s hidden ace, then.”

Taken aback, the Duckbill Beast nodded. “Indeed. I have discovered the Giant Eagle and big brother’s double mutant abilities way earlier, so I didn’t dare to stop them recklessly. But now… it is all over.”

The realization struck Wuxin. It would’ve been truly terrifying if he had the innate talent of seeing through others’ hidden aces.

While fighting, he could master any of his opponent’s conditions and choose the best time to strike.

If he had used his talent of seeing through pretense just now, he would’ve identified Wuxin’s fatal weakness while her guard was down, then seized the chance to kill her.

As she recalled their fights and realized that the opponent had predicted all her moves, Wuxin couldn’t help but shudder in fear!

If he had wanted to kill her, he would have succeeded done so twice by now.

“What is your plan now?” Su Yu asked.

The Duckbill Beast kept quiet for a moment and looked in the direction of the Asura Forbidden Lands. “I’m going back! The seal of the first level is still present, so I could only leave for a little while. If I don’t return for long, I’ll die!”

As he spoke, the Duckbill Beast reached out from across the air and got hold of all of the Giant Eagle’s belongings, took out the token, and handed it to Su Yu.

“The seal of the Asura Forbidden Lands cannot be opened. The living creatures mutated by the Power of Asura reside there. Once they’re unleashed, the consequences would be fatal.”

Su Yu’s eyes lit up. “You have always been confined in the Asura Forbidden Lands. If I were you, I would have opened up the seal of the first level with this token and gained my freedom.”

The Duckbill Beast shook his head and looked at the heavens and lands around him. Thoughtfully, he said, “Do you think the Lost Nation itself isn’t already a prison?”

Right when Su Yu was pondering on the profundity of his words, the Duckbill Beast said, “My people are still in the Asura Forbidden Lands. I must go back to where I belong and take care of them.”

Su Yu nodded and quietly held the token in his hand.

“Please keep this token to yourself. Never hand it to the Chu Clan that guards the Forbidden Lands ever again. They have lost the sense of crisis of their ancestor and were foolish enough to touch the seal of the second level. They were close to causing a massive catastrophe!”

“A family like that has lost the privilege of guarding the place, while you have seen the master and witnessed the terrors of the Asura Forbidden Lands. I believe you know how to make the right decision.”

“Of course.” Su Yu had no plans of ever returning the token.

“Put the control panel of the second level’s seal under your custody as well. Don’t let it fall into another’s hands. Otherwise, once the master emerges, he’ll try his very best to open up the third level seal and release the horrendous being inside!”

The Asura Forbidden Lands were divided into three levels.

If the second level sealed that horrible mysterious monster, then what could be sealed in the third level?

Was it the being that was personally sealed by the Wizard Ancestor in the past?

“What’s sealed in the third level?” Su Yu inquired.

The Duckbill Beast shook his head. “I have no idea. All I know is that whatever it is, it is extremely terrifying. It once accidentally exuded a whiff of its scent and triggered the Law of the Great Path, killing 99 percent of the creatures in the first level!”

Those words instilled fear into Su Yu’s heart. A whiff of second could trigger the Law of the Great Path? What kind of being was that?

“Alright, I have to go back now. You two take care of yourselves. Do stay away from the Asura Forbidden Lands and never set foot on it again.” The Duckbill Beast then leaped into the air.

Right before he went out of sight, he seemed to recall something. He then said, “Before I forget again, that Dead Soul Worm encountered the killing of a Level 2 deity and ran away. It must be too preoccupied to care about you right now, so you may leave as quickly as you can.”

A Level 2 deity? Su Yu made sure that he heard it right.

Wasn’t that a being of the level of the four great Empire Monarchs? How come they were here?

The Duckbill Beast left after he finished speaking, returning to the Asura Forbidden Lands.

Su Yu stood on his spot, brooding. With Wuxin supporting him, they left quickly.

Not long after they left, the yellow-robed elder’s corpsed that had been sliced into halves wriggled from the rivulets of blood splattered everywhere. An earthy yellow little snake writhed out from the elder’s corpse.

The snake was glimmering with a yellow light, gradually transfiguring into an elderly man that was identical to the yellow-robed elder.

“Good thing I managed to save myself by molting at the critical point of time. Otherwise, I would have been killed here today!” The yellow-robed elder was overwhelmed by trepidation just by thinking of it.

Large masses of black clouds roiled from the depths of the sky.

Several overbearing, powerful Level 3 auras shrouded from above. Countless divine energies interwove with one another, making the creatures of all corners tremble in fear.

The yellow-robed elder shuddered before he hurriedly knelt and kowtowed. “Demon soldiers hereby, I welcome Lord General!”

Splash!

As the dark clouds separated, and thirty powerful deities at least at Level-Three went down on their knees. They formed a long line from the ground to the dark clouds above, creating an enormous staircase.

While they knelt as a welcoming gesture, the figure of a young man slowly walked out from the dark clouds.

He looked ordinary with a slightly dark complexion, but he emanated an intense aura of defiance that stunned all the creatures of the world.

It was as if all the unfairness of the world could not stop him from moving forward.

Alternatively, one could say that all that deterred his footsteps were evened by him.

He was none other than Nitian Hanxing, who was leading the Great Army of the Nitian Empire to march on!

In front of him, the yellow-robed elder tensed up. Based on his hasty and chaotic breathing, he seemed to be extremely nervous.

Nitian Hanxing glanced across the corpses all over the place and asked with indifference. “Su Yu left?”

The yellow-robed elder told him everything that had transpired, with the complexity of the incident taking several unexpected and drastic turns along the way. It sounded exceptionally fascinating to them, a true astonishment.

Even so, Nitian Hanxing wasn’t surprised at all.

“Why didn’t you report to me when Su Yu appeared, and only remembered me when you chased him all the way here?” Nitian Hanxing began to smile.

But the yellow-robed elder trembled vigorously at that smile, his face turning extremely pale.

“Do you think you would be rewarded handsomely if you captured Su Yu and never have to take orders from me again?” Nitian Hanxing asked again, his smile growing further.

The yellow-robed elder explained hurriedly, “I have been careless to not have thought about that. I just wanted to hunt down the escaped criminal and hand him back to you for your disposal, General. I am not motivated by any rewards!”

“Haha…” Nitian Hanxing chuckled as he tossed a poisoned short sword out from his sleeve. He said, “Anyone who lies to me must die! Since you have conquered many tribes, I grant you a quick, clean death! Don’t make me lash out at you myself!”

When he finished, Nitian Hanxing walked back into the dark clouds.

All the Level 3 deities hurriedly returned into the clouds and followed him.

No one cast a single look at the yellow-robed elder, not even his old friends and acquaintances!

It wasn’t that they didn’t want to look at him, but rather they did not have the courage to!

The yellow-robed elder turned very pale. He held the short sword in his hand as his eyes filled with bitter resentment.

The poison on the sword was specifically used for poisoning souls.

Not long ago, he even supervised the suicide of a Deputy General who lost the war, ending his own life with this very sword.

That wasn’t too long ago, and now the same fate had befallen him!

He raised the short sword, and without any second thoughts, he thrust into his chest.

He dared not to retaliate, knowing that the consequences of fighting back would be even worse. Not a single person who defied Nitian Hanxing’s was ever shown any mercy!

With the acute poison coursing through his body, the yellow-robed elder died with content.

On the dark clouds above, Nitian Hanxing shot a glance around all the people who had their mouths shut tight. He calmly said, “Take that as a lesson and reflect on yourselves!”

“Yes, Sir!” The Deputy Generals dared not to even breathe out loud.

Sentencing to death a subordinate who had rendered great service didn’t bother Nitian Hanxing at all. He said, “Since our trails have been discovered, we shall now spring into action!”

“Yes!”

In the Fan Capital, at the underground yard.

Xueying was anxious. “His injuries look pretty severe!”

Wuxin said, “Don’t worry, his injuries aren’t that serious. He’ll heal in half a day.”

Xueying looked at her with complex emotions. “He was lucky to have your company this time. Without you, he might have never returned alive.”

Upon hearing that, Wuxin laughed bitterly. “Precisely speaking, he could make it out just fine on his own even if I wasn’t there.”

His various tactics and schemes had given Wuxin a surge admiration.

As the Duckbill Beast had said, no one would know what other horrendous tactics Su Yu had in store before he truly died.

“Follow me back to the Saint Lady Temple. I believe the Temple Mistress has already forgiven you,” Xueying said.

Wuxin shook her head, a tinge of relief and tranquility in her eyes. “The Wizard Tribe no longer has a place for me. I would like to travel to the god realm and have a look there.”

Knowing how badly she wanted to leave, Xueying gave up trying to persuade her. He said, “Do decide again after meeting Su Yu when he comes out of isolation.”

Wuxin shot a look at Xueying and said with half a smile, “I’d better save more time for the two of you. I hope you get what you wish for.”

Rosy halos appeared on Xueying’s handsome face. “You have misunderstood, I don’t…”

“Haha, take care of yourself. Excellent men like Su Yu are few and far between. If you win his heart, it means you’ve received good fortune.” Wuxin flashed him a serene smile and took off leaving.

Xueying bit his lip, the redness in his cheeks becoming more prominent.

Inside the secret chamber…

Su Yu took out the relics of the Giant Eagle. Since the latter was the one who killed Chu Long, all of Chu Long’s belongings were now among those of the Giant Eagle.

After a round of searching, he found Chu Long’s space ring.

With some anticipation, Su Yu’s soul reached into it to glance around, and delight began to glint in his eyes.

It was the Rock of Ten Thousand Spirits that could be used to craft the Cosmos Sword Formation!

The various materials needed to craft the replica of the World Annihilation Plate were complete!

Additionally, there was a dazzling multitude of materials needed to craft many of the ancient civil weapons!

Although Chu Long didn’t think he would lose, he had to pretend to take things seriously by preparing all the materials under Ling Wu’s supervision.

Su Yu felt completely at ease now once all of his worries had dissipated.

‘I’ll start crafting it patiently once I return to the forbidden lands of the Epoch-making Dragon.’ Su Yu secretly laid out his plan.

Su Yu proceeded to retrieve the crystal ball and the token, the two keys crucial to removing the seals of the Asura Forbidden Lands. He couldn’t afford to mess this up.

Su Yu placed them all into the Nine Jade Spiritual Pearl for his keeping.

As he watched the Power of Asura within him gradually dissipating, Su Yu heaved a gentle sigh of relief and allowed his body to heal on its own.

In his mind, he began practicing the second stroke of the Heaven-fighting Three Strokes, the Legendary Style.

In the process of fighting against the Blood Demon, Su Yu had received some vague enlightenment
