Chapter 1051: Principal Niu Arrives (3)
When Qin Hao saw Niu Baidao, he bowed slightly and greeted, "Principal Niu."
Niu Baidao was from the same generation of Qin Hao's father. It was natural for Qin Hao to be deferential in front of such a senior. There were still some surviving Sunmoons from the same generation, but most were dying from their old injuries or in constant seclusion. Very few of them were still active. And Niu Baidao was the most active Sunmoon from that generation. He could constantly be seen moving everywhere saving beautiful women in trouble.
Qin Hao greeted Ye Hongyan as well, "Greetings, General Ye."
He did not dare to call her Madam Niu. That might offend her.
Niu Baidao merely smiled. Beside them, Zhu Guangshen hurriedly greeted as well, "Teacher Niu, you've arrived as well..."
Niu Baidao had been a teacher of many people. One could say that he was the teacher of almost every single descendant of Great Ming King. It wasn't surprising for Zhu Guangshen to address him as a teacher.
"Yeah." Niu Baidao smiled, "I'm here to see how Su Yu is doing."
His tone turned helpless as he continued, "He promised that he's only leaving Great Ming for a short trip. But what is this? He has gone on a trip he can never return from. By the way, did any of you see him before leaving?"
"No." Qin Hao sighed, "He's probably still alive, but he has definitely converted into a resident. What a pity."
"There's nothing pitiful about it." Niu Baidao said, "Every single genius needs to undergo various tribulations and trials. The start might be difficult, but that will only ensure smooth progress in the future. The more you suffer today, the less you will suffer in the future. After suffering all these difficulties, Su Yu will soar to the high heavens with a single leap as long as he manages to get through this crisis. I need to see that kid. At this rate, those Invincibles will show up again. He won't be able to get too many people killed. It's also pointless to get those people killed."
While they were moving, Qin Hao asked, "Is there really no way for him to kill them?"
"No. At the very least, he won't be able to kill all of them." Niu Baidao shook his head, "The ancient city can stump those Invincibles for a short time, but not forever. Before long, they will return. If that happens, things will become even more troublesome. They won't have the courage to enter the city."
Niu Baidao continued, "Yes. They will be a lot more cautious and stay outside. But they can still do a lot of things without entering."
Qin Hao nodded. They started heading toward Ninestar Island. Or to be precise, they started heading toward where Ninestar Island used to be. With their cultivation, it didn't take long for them to reach the lone floating city.
Some experts were gathered near the city gates. All those experts looked toward the newcomers.
When they saw Niu Baidao, one of them coldly said, "Niu Baidao, so you're still alive."
"..."
The dragon instantly shut his mouth. In a way, he was indeed delaying the negotiation.
With a friendly smile, Niu Baidao looked at a faceless expert standing further away from the group. He said, "Has the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion established contact with Su Yu?"
"No."
"That's not even surprising. You only have yourself to blame for your terrible reputation. How can he trust you after you sold his location once?" Niu Baidao said, "Get your member inside the city to tell him that I'm here. I wish to have a talk with him. How about this? Just leave an index copy at the center of the city. Then, get everyone to retreat to the gates. There, actively release their auras to leak their whereabouts to him. That way, he will not suspect that this is yet another trap by you guys."
"..."
The crowd merely stared at him coldly.
Niu Baidao laughed, "So are we doing this or not? If not, I'll be taking my leave. I know you guys are still waiting for the Invincibles to come. But let me remind you that Great Xia King and Great Ming King are still waiting nearby. The moment your Invincibles arrive, our Invincibles will rush over and go wild before fleeing again."
Their expressions sank. This was what they feared most. If that happened, everyone in the city would die. The human Invincibles didn't even need to kill anyone. They only needed to attack the city to cause Invincible death spirits to appear. When that happened, there was no guarantee that the geniuses would be able to escape even if they were waiting near the gates.
The safest option was naturally to wait for the city to be unsealed by itself. That way, they would be able to leave without any issues.
A peak Sunmoon stepped forth. This was a devil from the Dao Affirmation Ranking. He coldly said, "Follow his arrangement for now. Get the people inside to gather near the gates. I'm curious. What does Su Yu want exactly?"
Niu Baidao laughed, "What else can Su Yu ask for? He's already a living dead. He will die sooner or later. He will probably ask for a few thousand strands of heavenearth profound light, ten thousand drops of Sunmoon blood essence, a few drops of Invincible blood essence, a few hundred heaven weapons, some divine weapons..."
"..."
A suffocating silence descended.
Suddenly, Niu Baidao laughed, "That was a joke. Don't mind me. I'm not Su Yu. That won't happen."
Inwardly, he was grumbling that there was no way Su Yu would release those people without a hefty ransom.
