Chapter 1038: Su Yu Is Dead? (2)
Before Qin Hao could say anything, Zhu Guangshen laughed, "Senior Ancient Mountain, you may enter. In fact, apart from those from the divine, devil, immortal, dragon, five elemental, nether, celestial chasm races, everyone can enter."
Ancient Mountain blanked out. The other experts also had odd expressions. So...they could enter? Understanding dawned on them.
Qin Hao also looked at Zhu Guangshen with understanding. It was pointless to stop everyone. They only needed to stop those from the major races. That would be enough to give the Invincibles outside some pause.
After all, almost each of the major races had two late-stage Sunmoons here. And most of them were also here with the young geniuses of their races. It would be too big of a loss if all these people died.
By excluding the other races, Zhu Guangshen could also reduce the pressure on them. Ancient Mountain laughed.
"Sure. Have fun. I'll be going in, then. These death spirits are indeed quite annoying. They smell terrible. I feel like throwing up in their presence."
He was uninterested in playing around with these people. For him, even if every single person in the city were to die, he would be the second to last to die. As for the person who would die last, that would naturally be the mayor, but that was understandable, right?
In that case, there was no need for him to waste his time with the quarrel of these people. The other experts were also tempted.
Meanwhile, the expressions of those from the mentioned races changed. They could forcefully exert some pressure on the minor races.
But there were also a decent number of top 100 races and ancient races here. It would be too troublesome to go against all of them. These were all races with Invincibles.
Further away, Su Yu smiled. The Zhu Family was indeed filled with smart people. It was pointless to stop everyone. They would only create more enemies for themselves. They only needed to stop a few people. That was sufficient. Still, this wouldn't be an easy task.
With a frosty expression, Zhan Wushuang said, "General Qin, is there a need for this? Can you really stop us alone?"
He then looked at Zhu Guangshen and asked, "Is the Zhu Family finally going to stop staying passive? It hasn't been easy for the Zhu Family to accumulate strength. How many late-stage Sunmoons have you produced? There are three of them here. Losing all of them will be massive for Great Ming."
Zhu Guangshen smiled, "Zhan Wushuang, why don't we both take a step back? We can stop fighting. Just wait until the city is unsealed and we can all leave. We will take Su Yu with us and imprison him for life in Great Ming. What do you think about that?"
"No thanks."
Xuan Wuji interrupted, "The words of humans are worth nothing."
Zhu Guangshen said, "Xuan Wuji, we're allies. How can you say that? You're helping outsiders instead of your allies. In the Human Realm, we call the likes of you traitors, turncoats, double-crossers..."
Xuan Wuji ignored those words. He was not interested in getting into a war of words. At this time, the other experts were starting to enter the mayor's residence. As for the mayor, he merely looked at them silently from inside the residence.
He had already shown enough respect to the Invincibles outside with this gesture. He would not make a move against Qin Hao and the others. Great Xia King and Great Ming King were still outside the city. He didn't want to provoke the two super experts too much.
More than ten Sunmoons were locked in a standoff outside the mayor's residence. Of the seven races mentioned by Zhu Guangshen, the celestial chasm race only had a late-stage Sunmoon here. That was also the case for the nether race. Thus, they had a total of twelve late-stage Sunmoons on their side. As for the humans, they only had four late-stage Sunmoons.
But since two of the late-stage Sunmoons were from the five elemental race, the humans only needed to worry about ten Sunmoons. The other two Sunmoons only wanted to drag this out as much as possible. They were in a deadlock.
It wasn't like there was no hope of victory. Since they outnumbered the humans, they were still capable of killing the humans. But some of the unlucky ones among them might die. They weren't even from the same races. Nobody wanted to die for the other races. And thus, they were stuck.
After giving them one last look, Su Yu left. Fortunately, the humans weren't stupid enough to try stopping everyone. That would be a lot more troublesome. This was a much smarter choice.

At the same time.
***
Inside the city.
Su Yu continued roaming the streets while forging his body with heavenearth profound light.
Barely any living beings could be seen on the streets. Not even the connections to the moat were being watched anymore.
But could Su Yu leave now? The moment he left, he would need to face multiple Invincibles. The moat was no longer an alternative. He did not think that he could avoid the detection of the Invincibles even if he remained in the moat. He would much rather stay in the city.
"Is there really no other alternative?"
Su Yu sighed. Must he really wait inside the city? Was he supposed to wait until the Invincibles started attacking the city before converting into a resident? That could very well be his sole option.
"So be it."
He also wanted to tell Qin Hao and the others to stop. He did not want to owe them too much. Things were getting dangerous. They might get themselves killed if they continued helping him.
Naturally, a battle had yet to break out. That wouldn't happen so soon.
Right that at moment, the voice of an Invincible rang, "Qin Hao, stop being stubborn. In two days, we will proceed with our attack. If you refuse to enter the mayor's residence, all of you can die together."
Finally, the Invincibles lost their patience. They didn't want to wait any longer. This was not a surprising result.
The Invincible continued, "Two days later, we will attack the city. Five days later, all of you shall leave the mayor's residence and search every occupied building in the city. At that time, the death spirits would have retreated. Get late-stage Sunmoons to watch over every single building occupied by a non-resident."
He made their plan clear. Two days later, they would attack the city and spawn a large number of death spirits. The death spirits would slaughter every living being in the city.
Five days later, the death spirits would withdraw. Very few survivors would remain. And they only needed to focus on the few remaining survivors. If Su Yu was still alive, he would be one of them. There was no escaping.
As for his ability to disguise himself as a death spirit, that was pointless. The powerful death spirits spawned by the attacks of Invincibles would be different from the ordinary death spirits.
They would be able to see through his disguise with one look. Since his disguise did not work on living Invincibles, his disguise would naturally not work on death spirit Invincibles as well.
There was no way for him to survive this. The Invincibles were giving their ultimatum to the people in the city.
Neither Great Xia King nor Great Ming King said anything. Su Yu wasn't disappointed. In fact, he was relieved. Good. Their silence could only mean that they could no longer stop the other Invincibles.
Their silence was also a message to Qin Hao and the others to give up. There was nothing they could do. If even someone as prideful as Great Xia King remained silent, the humans must have encountered something extremely difficult to overcome.
It wasn't even difficult for Su Yu to guess the difficulties the humans were facing. The myriad races were probably threatening the human borders and using Xia Longwu's coming dao affirmation as the bargaining chip.
Su Yu wasn't the least bit surprised. His personal safety was incomparable to the safety of the entire human race. He was not disappointed. Rather, he only felt gratitude toward the ones who had arrived to help him.
If it wasn't for the two human Invincibles, the other Invincibles might have attacked right after arriving. At the very least, the two had bought him some extra time.
"Two days?"
Su Yu smiled. Fine. He would continue cultivating. During this time, he would also convert himself into a resident. Five days later, the buildings they searched would most likely exclude the buildings of the residents.
As for the trouble he might face after becoming a resident...that no longer mattered. Before long, he entered a random building.
