Chapter 1145: Boss Su Yu (1)
Boom!
A loud explosion erupted and source qi rippled out.
Inside his cultivation room, Su Yu had just completed the fifty-ninth body forging. With this, he could muster the strength of around 500,000 acupoints. This was the standard a genius of a major race would reach upon reaching the Sunmoon Realm. Only at that level would someone have the courage to admit being the genius of a major race.
With this advancement, Su Yu had officially stepped into a new world. A world of experts. A Sunmoon, or to be precise, a Sunmoon of a major race would be regarded a genius and an expert everywhere.
As Su Yu's body shook, his blood rushed through his veins. One could almost hear the sound of gushing water from the intensity of his blood flow.
With his newfound strength, Su Yu was confident he was now strong enough to kill Yuan Qingdong. That fellow's body was simply too weak. As for that fellow’s characters, well, they didn't feel too strong either. What a worthless guy, considering he was the descendant of an Invincible.
Su Yu stood up and withdrew his aura. The golden radiance around his body also faded away. His 144 acupoints had also reached the final stage of transformation. The transformation had started a few months ago, but he had never put any effort on this.
That was mainly because only some of his acupoints were transforming, so he didn't care that much about this matter. Nevertheless, the completion of this first transformation would still grant him an increase of strength.
"I'm stronger now." Su Yu smiled and put his white mask on.
Moments later, he saw White One's message. The geniuses of the myriad races would start entering the Human Realm within the next two days. White One was heading toward Nanyuan with a few white masks, and he was asking Profound Nine for a place to meet.
Profound Nine was allowed to set the venue of the meeting. This was the sign of their trust in him and the importance they placed on him.
Over the past few days, Great Xia had been unpeaceful. The capital was sealed, and numerous people were killed. A large number of unfortunate cultists were discovered and killed. Even the spies of other forces and some uncooperative myriad race experts were killed.
The Xia Family had gone mad. More than ten Sunmoons were deployed to search the city repeatedly. Even an unlucky white mask had been discovered and killed during the search. Meanwhile, Profound Nine's whereabouts were nowhere to be found. It was as though he had ceased existing.
Since there were tens of millions of people in the capital, it wasn't realistic to keep the city sealed for too long. And today, the city would reopen. The lockdown would finally end.
"Let's gather on Starfall Mountain near Nanyuan. That's a good place."
White One had been waiting for a reply. Thus, he replied the moment he saw Su Yu's reply, "Starfall Mountain? Great Ming King might still be there. That place is not necessarily safe."
"That's a border territory. It will be fine. Please trust my intuition, Enforcer. My intuition has been honed by my numerous escapes from death."
White One did not argue against that.
Immediately after, Su Yu sent Zhu Tiandao a message, "We'll be gathering at Starfall Mountain. Prefect, please avoid that place for now."
What was there to fear? That was Old Zhu’s turf. He could simply tell them to stop searching that place for now. In fact, he could do so with both Great Ming and Great Xia. There was nothing for him to fear.
Zhu Tiandao suddenly asked, "Where did we meet for the first time?"
"..."
Su Yu was rendered speechless. What was this?
"Xia Restaurant."
"Recite the Long Life Art for me."
"..."
Su Yu rolled his eyes. Why was Old Zhu doing this?
Holy shit!
Was Old Zhu suspecting his identity?
Realizing what was going on, Su Yu explained directly, "What happened in the ancient city was due to my Big Brother Stone Statue. Prefect, don't think too much."
Yes. Old Zhu was being jealous here. It was obvious the so-called murder of Xia Xinyi was the kid working for Xia Family. Had the kid forgotten how bad the Xia Family was? The kid should remember that the great Prefect Zhu was the one who had saved and raised him!
Old Zhu sighed. Whatever. He had to focus on dao affirmation first...wait, no. He had to focus on reaching the peak of Sunmoon Realm first. Yes. He was a fresh ninth-stage Sunmoon. He shouldn't bite off more than he could chew.

Some people were so good at being deceitful that they could fool even themselves.
For example, Su Yu.
At the moment, he was busy bidding farewell to his recently made friends. With a look of reluctance, he said, "I need to leave. Great Xia is too chaotic. My cousin is too busy to take care of me. I have to go back home."
"Brother Bai, I hope we can meet again in the future."
"Yeah, Brother Bai. How unlucky that things are changing so fast. We should have gotten drunk at least once before your departure."
"..."
The youngsters all looked reluctant to part with him as well. That included a woman in the group, and when Su Yu saw her expression, he trembled with fear. He did not even know her that well! Why was she acting like this?
When he was done, he gave the Heart Cultivating Pavilion a glance. Then, his gaze landed somewhere else. It was the Weaponsmithing Faculty. He had not visited Zhao Li. Yes, Bai Junsheng could find an excuse to meet Zhao Li. But the previous incident involving had attracted too much attention to Zhao Li.
Everyone was already aware that Cui Lang was Su Yu. Everyone finally understood why Zhao Li had picked Cui Lang as his assistant back then. Meeting Zhao Li with this identity might also end up attracting unwanted attention.
It wasn't like he was going too far this time. He had plenty of chances to see Zhao Li again in the future. There was no rush.
***
Once again, Su Yu departed Great Xia City. This time, he did not travel alone.
The Martial Dragon Guard had deployed a team to Nanyuan. Thus, Su Yu was traveling with them. At Nanyuan, Great Ming would be near. As far as they were concerned, it wouldn't be too difficult for him to find a way back from there. The Heavenly Hunt Pavilion had also been quite silent recently. Thus, things weren't too dangerous.
Martial Dragon Guard.
Su Yu's feelings were quite mixed as he traveled with these soldiers. Back then, he believed the Martial Dragon Guard to be capable of everything. He viewed every single one of them as a super expert. But now, they no longer looked that special in his eyes.
These were merely a bunch of Skysoars. In the coming chaos, they wouldn't even be able to do much. Nevertheless, they were still the soldiers of Xia. When they fought in formations, they were still quite formidable.
Su Yu wondered if the soldiers with him knew such formations as well. They probably knew. That would be good enough to deal with some unimportant individuals.
During the travel, the soldiers remained silent and solemn. Su Yu also maintained his silence. Well, it wasn't like he had a choice. Everyone was ignoring him. They were in a terrible mood as the murderer of Xia Xinyi still remained at large. It was understandable why they didn't feel like talking.
As they traveled at a rapid pace, they reached Nanyuan in the early morning of the second day. At the moment, intense source qi undulations could be felt above Nanyuan. Due to the low source qi density in Nanyuan, when an expert cultivated here, they could easily cause intense source qi undulations even if they only cultivated using source qi liquid.
From the undulations in the air, it was obvious there were a lot of experts in the city. At a glance, Su Yu noted at least eight Sunmoons in the city. Just look at those thick pillars of source qi. It was clear these people weren't even bothering to hide their presence.
How brazen.
And this only applied to those not concealing themselves. There might be even more who had hidden away.
"We're here."
The leader of the group was a 10000-man commander. He glanced at Su Yu and said, "You're a member of the Bai Family. Do you have anyone here to escort you back? If not, I advise you to stay here for a bit while finding some people to send you back. It's better to be safe."
"It's fine." Su Yu indifferently said, "A friend from Great Ming is coming to meet me. We'll be returning together."
"Sure."
The commander did not say anything else. In that case, he did not need to do anything else for this guy. He was a busy man as well. He couldn't spare too much time taking care of some foolish youth.
