Tribulation of Myriad Races

Chapter 949: Go Out Looking For Teacher (2)

Su Yu continued moving. Eventually, he reached a part of the city walls without any gates nearby.

He was thinking of leaving. It was time to test the talismans he was given. He prayed that they would work as he would be in trouble otherwise. He could also take this chance to see if he could find a chance to get some of the experts outside killed.

He took out a talisman and aimed it at the wall in front of him. There was no way of phasing through these walls. If one wanted to go through them, one had to demolish them. But the use of force might result in the appearance of powerful death spirits.

"I won't be teleported toward an expert, right? I won't be so unlucky, right?"

Su Yu was slightly worried, but he decided to stop thinking too much about it. That would only happen if he was truly unlucky. But he did not believe that he was someone of terrible luck. On the contrary, he believed that his luck was great. Something like luck seemed mystical and unreliable, but a lot of people believed in its existence.

The talisman was activated and Su Yu's body vanished with a flicker. Inner hall of the mayor's residence. The stone statue opened his eyes with a satisfied expression. Finally, the little shit was gone. He was getting very tired of that little shit.

That little shit had been killing a lot of death spirits. The three Sunmoon death spirits were going crazy with anger. The little shit had been absolutely unhinged after obtaining the ability to transform into death spirits. These Sunmoon death spirits were still quite dumb, but the little shit was wrong to believe that the more powerful Sunmoon death spirits would be just as dumb.

At that time, the little shit would die even if he could transform into a death spirit. And if the little shit was killed, even more trouble would ensue. The imprint of a certain person was still hiding in the little shit's heart. And there was a soul devourer in the little shit's sea of willpower. The death of that little shit would trigger a battle between Eternals.

"Good, it's good that he's gone."

The stone statue shut his eyes again. He had already turned into stone. The world should leave him alone.

***

Outside the city.

Su Yu's vision swam as he reappeared outside the city. Behind him was the city wall and in front of him was the Plain of Desires. Even the death qi inside his body started fading away. Compared to the city, the Plain of Desires was simply akin to a holy land.

Su Yu inhaled deeply and reversed his source qi circulation, ending his death spirit transformation. He also used his change character to take on a new appearance. He decided to keep a low profile and move around as a member of the shadow race for now. As a member of the shadow race, nobody would suspect him even if he moved like a thief.

With his breathing technique and the Long Life Art active, he consumed some heavenly source qi. Then, he spat a mouthful of black blood out. Death qi spread out of the black blood and corroded the soil beneath it. In the blink of an eye, even the death qi from the blood dissipated into nothingness.

It would seem like death qi was not something that could last long outside ancient cities. No wonder the ancient city residents would rarely leave the city. They would probably feel greatly uncomfortable outside the city.

Su Yu started looking around. Since he was nowhere near the main gate, there was nobody in his vicinity.

His body turned illusory like a regular shadow race member as he made the choice of staying as far as possible from the main gate. It would be awkward if he headed there only to stumble upon a bunch of Sunmoons.

But he was certain there would be some people near the city. After all, such a big ruckus had erupted inside the city. These days, everyone loved to watch a good show. He only needed to find a group of busybodies who were here to watch the show and mingle among them. That way, he would look even more inconspicuous.

After confirming that the teleportation talismans worked, he became even more fearless. After all, he still had two of them in his possession.

***

Su Yu started moving in a direction that was nowhere near the city gates. Soon, he was dozens of kilometers away from the city. At this point, he could leave if he wanted, leaving all his enemies waiting in and around the city. But he was unwilling to leave just like that. It was common sense that in the Allheaven Battlefield, one should throw themselves at danger. The bigger the danger, the more one could potentially gain.

While he was thinking, his voice transmission talisman shook. The talisman had stopped working for a while since he had been staying in the ancient city for the past few days. He was quite surprised to receive a message.

No message from the Human Realm could reach him now that he was in the Allheaven Battlefield. But of the people who knew his transmission frequency, very few of them were in the Allheaven Battlefield. He could only think of his old man and Liu Wenyan. Nobody else.

Was one of them looking for him? He took his voice transmission talisman out.

***

At the same time.

Somewhere in the Plain of Desires, Liu Wenyan was blanking out. What? He was trying his luck by sending a random message to that kid. He did not expect the message to get through. But it did?

What the hell was happening? Was the kid dead? Had his voice transmission talisman been brought out of the city alongside his corpse?

Liu Wenyan took out an index copy and checked. Su Yu's name was still there. The kid was not dead. In that case, shouldn't the kid still be in the city? Had the death qi level in the ancient city dropped?

How was his message getting through? How weird.

In the Allheaven Battlefield, luck played a big role in message transmissions. Most of the time, transmissions would fail any time one entered a unique location. But his message got through.

This was so weird.

***

Su Yu was much less surprised than Liu Wenyan. He checked the message. There was nothing important. It was only a message asking if he was fine.

"I'm fine."

He gave a simple reply. He reckoned his Teacher Liu was probably unaware of his recent situation. After all, his Teacher Liu was merely a pitiful Skysoar. How could a mere Skysoar learn about what he had been up to recently?

Also, Teacher Liu was already very old. He wasn't even a young genius anymore. He probably didn't even have an index copy on him. And the Vanguard Regiment was probably uninterested in these affairs. His Teacher Liu was probably still busy fighting in the Vanguard Regiment. Right at that moment, he received another message.

"Kid, back then, I taught you a saber technique. Eight of the moves were real and one of the moves was fake."

Su Yu blanked out. Was this some sort of secret code? What the hell was his teacher talking about? Nonsense!

"Four moves were real and five moves were fake. Teacher, do you need anything from me? Be honest with me. Are you running out of money?"

***

Plain of Desires.

Liu Wenyan grew even more curious. It was really that kid. Wait, wasn't the kid supposed to be in Heavendoom City?

"Are you in the ancient city?"

"Ah? You found out about that?"

"Are you still in the ancient city?"

"Teacher, do I know twenty-eight languages?"

Liu Wenyan was speechless. The kid was doubting his identity. Damn it. Wasn't it supposed to be the other way around instead?"

"Eighteen. Stop wasting time. Are you still in the ancient city?"

"Nope."

Su Yu was finally sure that he was conversing with his teacher. He said, "I left."

"You left?"

Liu Wenyan had an odd expression. The kid had created such a big ruckus that the entire Allheaven Battlefield was paying attention to him. Everyone was heading that way to trap and kill the kid. But the kid was saying that he wasn't there after all?

Wasn't the city sealed? How did the kid leave? Liu Wenyan was utterly confused. He heard that a lot of Sunmoons had arrived there. How did the kid leave that place?

"You're out of the city?"

"Yeah."

"You're fine?"

"Of course. I'll always be fine."

Liu Wenyan rolled his eyes. If the kid was really fine, why would he create so much trouble?

"If you're fine...can e near the Skyrend Valley?"

"What's wrong?"

"I'm not fine." Liu Wenyan spoke urgently, "I lost my uncle near the Skyrend Valley. A few little fellows are targeting me. They are preparing to kill me. Are you near?"

"..."

Stupefaction.

Yes. Su Yu was completely stupefied. His teacher was near the Skyrend Valley. Had his teacher traveled so far...to help him? More importantly, he lost Uncle Liu and was being hunted by some other individuals.

Su Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

He could guess what happened. Liu Wenyan was capable of erupting with the strength of a Sunmoon when he really needed it. Thus, Teacher Liu was moving through the Plain of Desires to help him.

But it also wasn't a good idea to reveal an overly high cultivation level in the Plain of Desires as bad things might happen. But with the strength of a peak Skysoar, Teacher Liu was probably incapable of dealing with the little trouble he had found himself in.

How pitiful.

Su Yu was quite touched. These days, very few people were willing to risk their lives to help him. But Teacher Liu was one of the few. Then again, this Teacher Liu seemed rather unreliable. On his way to provide help, he had lost his uncle and ended up as prey for a group of unknown individuals.

But no matter what, he had made the effort to help. If he went all out, he could release the strength of a Sunmoon. With that level of strength, he would be able to help slightly.

Su Yu wondered if Teacher Liu was done absorbing the characters he inherited. What was the progress of the absorption?
