chapter 1077: great xia's scheme, topsoil spirit exits (2)

"yes!" xia huyou nodded, "why do you ask?"

"he has gotten quite popular in allheaven battlefield lately. are you aware of that?"

xia huyou nodded, "yeah. i heard."

he sighed, "he was too reckless. great xia is already facing too many enemies. why did he provoke so many powerful enemies? fortunately, he can no longer be considered a part of great xia or things might get really troublesome for us. it will be a bad idea for us to get involved with his affairs. great ming can take on this burden."

"don't you think that he's abnormally strong?" yu xuan said, "i heard that when he first joined the academy, he was only at the source opening realm. that was over one year ago, but he has grown to a point where he can kill sunmoons. a lot of people are saying that he has obtained the inheritance of an ancient invincible ruin. huyou, you're still a skysoar. if you can get that ruin for yourself and advance into the cloudbreach, mountainsea, or even the sunmoon realm, that will be very helpful for great xia..."

xia huyou frowned and said, "yu xuan, don't suggest something like that. don't set your eyes on his ruin. the xia family has lasted this long by treating our people well. their personal belongings will always belong to them. the same applies to their fortuitous encounters..."

"but this is different. an invincible ruin belongs to nobody. it goes to those fated to inherit it." yu xuan said, "in any case, he won't be able to return any more. he is now the mayor of an ancient city. he is now bound to that city. returning is impossible. he will die about two or three days after leaving the city, but great xia is more than three days away."

"huyou, think about this. a lot of people are gathered in nanyuan. so many people are looking for the ruin while the xia family has not been doing so. carnage king is too proud to care about such a ruin. marquis xia doesn't care enough either. how about you? you hail from the direct line of great xia king. you are the most qualified person to become the next prefect. but the person with the most support currently is teacher xia yuwen instead of you."

xia huyou frowned slightly and said, "it's fine. he might be stronger than me, but he lost a lot of prestige from his previous battle with bai feng. his relationship with great zhou is also unclear. my father and second granduncle will not allow him to become the prefect."

"you never know. what if great zhou offers to assist great xia in its future trouble? xia yuwen will serve as the bridge connecting the two." yu xuan said, "he's very strong. and he has been on the yellow index before. he's a rare genius among the humans..."

"yellow index?" xia huyou curled his lips, "he's worse than bai feng. just being on the index does not mean anything. it's not like he's still on it."

yu xuan frowned slightly as she said, "fine. what can i say if even you yourself don't care about this? huyou, know that nothing is more important than your own strength. background and status are much less important. as a skysoar, do you think you can win great xia's favor even if you manage to become the prefect?"

"i can probably reach the cloudbreach realm by the time my father starts his dao affirmation."

"that's still too weak." yu xuan shook her head, "how can you carry out your duties as a prefect well with such strength? how can you command the respect of your people?"

"su yu is only a cloudbreach as well..."

was this guy serious? yu xuan couldn't help feeling more contempt toward xia huyou. did this guy think that he was amazing because he had a powerful family? how could he compare himself with su yu?

su yu surpassed xia huyou in talent, courage, and strength. if it wasn't for his background, he would have risen to a status far beyond xia huyou's by now.

this xia huyou was delusional. a frog in the well. did he think that he was impressive just because of who his father was? he would be nothing the moment the two xia invincibles perished.

"sure. it is very likely that there's a ruin in nanyuan. since su yu can no longer return while you don't care about it, i wonder who the ruin will ultimately benefit?"

leaving those words behind, yu xuan walked away.

xia huyou stood there with a pensive look, as though he was in deep thought.

he muttered, "strength...ruin..."

with a look of contemplation, he walked away silently. yu xuan, who was stealthily observing him from afar, smiled.

xia huyou maintained the same pensive look until he reached his residence. finally, he rubbed his face and sighed. this was so annoying. he had to put on a play every single day. when would this end?

perhaps he had to start getting ready as well. su yu had killed so many sunmoons. he couldn't do the same, but he could at least strive to deal the final blow to some dying sunmoons, right?

***

the storm continued brewing.

marquis xia was on his way back to great xia.

without su yu creating trouble everywhere, there hadn't been any major battles recently. but small-scaled battles would never stop in the allheaven battlefield. the numerous geniuses continued fighting each other, and the names on the index never stopped moving.

meanwhile, more and more people had arrived at grandstar city. an ancient city without a mayor proved quite attractive to many people. of course, they would never stop worrying that su yu would suddenly go crazy again. fortunately for them, the sunmoons had confirmed that su yu had locked himself in the mayor's residence.

several divine and devil late-stage sunmoons had also arrived to form a blockade around the mayor's residence. that greatly relieved the worry of the others in the city. he had only been able to run wild previously because he was too slippery.

but now, everyone knew he was hiding in the mayor's residence. thus, they could prevent him from doing anything crazy. that was a good thing for everyone.

***

it was in such a relaxed atmosphere that a certain someone welcomed his freedom.

topsoil spirit!

a month had passed.

that had been a calm and peaceful month for topsoil spirit. nobody annoyed him. nobody bothered him. thanks to the soundproofing formations su yu set around him, he would know nothing even if the world started falling apart.

and his luck was pretty good as well. his building was one of the few buildings that had been left untouched during the chaos.

"su yu is probably not here anymore, right?"

inside the slab of concrete, topsoil spirit started wondering to himself. a month had passed. that fellow must have left.

that fellow must have targeted him to get something done. a month had passed. that was enough for the five elemental race to come. with them around, it was unlikely that su yu would have the courage to keep watch outside the building.

slowly, cracks started spreading through the slab of concrete.

topsoil spirit exhaled in relief. thanks to the slab of concrete, not even death qi could harm him too much. how lucky. he would have died to death qi erosion long ago otherwise.

"after leaving, i need to make sure to stay far away from that guy. hmm, that guy is so crazy. maybe he's dead already. who knows?"

topsoil spirit was quite optimistic. yes, yes. perhaps su yu was already dead.

finally, the slab of concrete crumbled apart. the seal was fully removed. topsoil spirit jumped in excitement as the formations around him broke apart as well.

"i'm free!"
