Chapter 1086: Great Qin King (2)
The silkwyrm was alarmed. His race was the weakest here. If the immortal refused to leave last, the task would definitely fall on him. In that case, the choice was obvious. Of course it was better for the immortal to do it.
Zimo snorted coldly and stopped talking. Naturally, the best result would be Su Yu's death. But if that didn't happen, they would have no choice but to leave. If they waited one more week, they would still have enough strength to attempt an escape. If they waited longer, even escape would be hard.
The expert from the divine was an icy woman from the snowfrost divine race. She glanced at the immortal with a sneer on her face. The immortals were strong. But they were also incredibly treacherous.
Back when the humans were weak, they sided with the humans. But they did not do that to help the humans. Rather, they were only trying to prevent the divines and devils from reaping all the benefits from the destruction of humanity.
Now that the humans were starting to grow strong and a genius from the multiple character faction had appeared, the immortals had rapidly changed their attitude. In fact, they were even more enthusiastic about killing Su Yu than the divines and devils, the so-called open enemies of humanity.
Both the divines and devils looked down on their lack of principles. However, the strength of the immortals was undeniable.
Strictly speaking, they might even be stronger than the divines and devils. Why? Because they had a lot of undying old geezers who were still alive. The divines and devils were aware of the rich life force the immortals enjoyed. It was likely that a lot of their ancient experts were still around.
Perhaps these experts had yet to achieve dao affirmation, but a lot of them were definitely Pseudo Invincibles who had fused with their tri-life bodies. This was an advantage brought upon by age. Both the divines and devils disliked the immortals.
The nether Sunmoon finally spoke, "Let's not talk about that for now. Su Yu might not even survive that long. Back then, when the mayor of Battledome City sealed the city, the mayor died after twelve days even as a ninth-stage Sunmoon. At the time, his backlash wasn't even that bad. Su Yu was far weaker with far higher backlash. I doubt he can last that long."
"I really hope you're right."
The silkwyrm sighed with regret. If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have joined. The silkwyrm race wasn't even that strong. They only had a strong Invincible, the Silkwyrm King. Having learned that Su Yu cultivated the Time technique of Silk Destroying King, their king had ordered this silkwyrm Sunmoon to come and kill Su Yu.
The silkwyrm race didn't have that many seventh-stage Sunmoons to offer. In fact, the silkwyrm race as a whole was only as strong as a single human prefecture. But their legacy was far older than the current human race's legacy. Thus, they were comparable to a stronger human prefecture.
They had about twenty late-stage Sunmoons in total. Thus, if he ended up dying here, the entire silkwyrm race would feel the pain. Back in the Silkwyrm Realm, he himself was also someone with the seniority of an ancestor.
If he died before even seeing the face of the person he was supposed to kill, his death would create shockwaves back home. The target was only a Cloudbreach. How embarrassing would that be? He was really regretting this.
In truth, he wanted to leave when Su Yu issued the warning previously. But he didn't want to invite the displeasure of the Silkwyrm King. When he saw that so many powerful Sunmoons were staying, he decided to stay as well, thinking that it would be fine.
But that was not the case at all. He had lost a majority of his savings buying heavenly source qi from the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion. And now, he had to think of a way to escape without having achieved anything during this trip. Why was he even here? He really regretted not leaving with the earth elementals earlier.
Numerous experts were collapsing mentally. The Invincibles of the divine and devil races were also on the verge of losing their mind. It was already the eighth day. Why was Su Yu not dead yet? Wasn't he a Cloudbreach?
After refining the mayor's medallion and sealing the city for eight consecutive days, how was he still alive? How did he survive the backlash? What was happening? There were seven late-stage Sunmoons in the city. Additionally, there were some other Sunmoons of different levels in the city as well. Were they going to lose multiple Sunmoons yet again?
If this continued, they would have no choice but to open the gate by force. Naturally, some of them also considered suing for peace. But this was too embarrassing so nobody suggested it.
Again and again, they had targeted Su Yu. Again and again, they were forced to negotiate. The myriad races were watching as they turned themselves into clowns. Were they supposed to forget about their dignity as major races?
In truth, even if they wanted to negotiate, Su Yu wouldn't waste his time. He no longer lacked money. That would remain true for the foreseeable future.
He had plenty of treasures. Why should he release them? If he gave them the impression that he would spare them as long as they paid him a little bit of money, they would only continue challenging him.
He did not care how many people he could kill this time. He needed to teach them that the mere act of challenging him in an ancient city was fatal. They should learn to stay far away from him.

Meanwhile, Su Yu was busy thinking about an entirely different matter.
Would any of the Sunmoons convert into residents? It would be nice if he could get a few Sunmoons to share the burden. He could even try making them his underlings. Of course, he would still not hand out the city gate medallions easily. At this point, he had realized that the commander in charge of the gates could only be a trusted underling of the mayor.
After all, someone with that medallion could easily sabotage the mayor with their authority over the gates. In that case, Tian Men of Heavendoom City was most likely a trusted subordinate of Mayor Tian He. No wonder he had the authority to lead Su Yu to the inner hall.
Su Yu continued forging his body in a leisurely manner.
***
The ninth day passed just like that.
By the tenth day, the people in the city started panicking.
It was the tenth day! The gates were showing no signs of opening. The late-stage Sunmoons were still doing relatively fine, but the early Sunmoons were starting to suffer from death qi erosion. They were terrified, not knowing if they should keep waiting or convert into residents.
