Chapter 834: Don't Worry, It Will Be Fine (1)

"Hurry up!"

Even Su Yu was starting to feel anxious. They had to hurry up.

Holy shit! That damn old goat from Great Tang was really here to catch him. That was too shameless! Sure, that old man was here to capture Cui Lang, not Su Yu. But at the moment, Su Yu was Cui Lang. He had no choice but to run.

Zhang He flew as fast as he could as he said, "Senior Cheng is a ninth-stage Sunmoon. He is far stronger than me. And I have to fly while carrying someone...If your body is strong enough, I can take you to the secondary plane and travel even faster!"

"No! I won't be able to withstand that!"

Su Yu denied it unhesitatingly. Damn it. Every single Sunmoon was an incomparably cunning individual. Even at this moment, Zhang He was still trying to test him.

Left with no choice, Zhang He said, "Fine. I'll try my best, but I can't promise that I can shake him off."

"Just do your best."

Su Yu could feel a gust of violent wind attacking him. He cursed inwardly. This damn bastard was too difficult to deal with. Zhang He had deliberately let the gust of wind through.

With the power behind the wind, he could test the strength of Su Yu's body. He might even be using this chance to acquire more of Su Yu's blood. He might have tested Su Yu's blood before, but there was no guarantee that no tricks had been played on that blood. Thus, he had decided to try again.

Su Yu couldn't even be bothered to say anything. A set of peak profound armor appeared around his body. This was not something he had forged himself. Rather, it was made by Old Zhao. He had given it to Su Yu before Su Yu left Great Xia.

Seeing the peak profound armor on Su Yu, it was Zhang He's turn to curse inwardly. Were all weaponsmiths so rich? This fellow had just reached the peak profound grade not long ago. How had he obtained something like this? Was this a gift from someone else?

"Is this the work of Grandmaster Zhao Li?"

Su Yu appeared a lot more relaxed traveling under high speed with the armor on. He smiled and said, "Yes. He gave it to thank me for my help during his breakthrough. It's only a peak profound armor. Teacher Zhao has moved on to earth weapons. Something like this is no longer useful for him."

"..."

How enviable. Peak profound armor was comparable to earth weapons in value. Of course, it wasn't too helpful for Sunmoons. For such experts, they required high-tier earth weapons or even peak earth weapons. But weapons at such a level couldn't be bought easily even if they could afford it.

Su Yu complained, "Try to reduce the impact of the wind. Brother Zhang, if you really can't shake him off, so be it. I am not interested in losing my life while trying to escape."

It wouldn’t matter if Su Yu had not mentioned it. But now that it was mentioned, Zhang He couldn't continue acting ignorant anymore. He started suppressing the wind around them. At this moment, a voice rang out behind them.

"Zhang He, surrender while you still can."

"..."

Zhang He cursed inwardly. How was this related to him? Why was he the one who should be surrendering? Su Yu looked behind him and saw that very far away, the air was twisting and warping, as though someone was rushing over at an incredibly high speed.

After thinking for a bit, he said, "Senior Cheng, please stop. I am heading to the Allheaven Battlefield so that I can apologize to Little You. I am going to beg for her forgiveness. I wish to take her back to the Human Realm. Senior Cheng, please stop coming after us."

Cheng You was Cheng Mo's granddaughter, the unwanted lover of Cui Lang. She was serving in the Allheaven Battlefield.

"There is no rush. I'll send you over personally. But before that, let me teach this Zhang He a lesson."

Su Yu cursed inwardly and hurriedly said, "My issue with General Zhang has been resolved. There is no need for you to do anything, Senior Cheng."

"This has nothing to do with you. I am merely punishing him because anyone with the courage to interrupt the advancement of a weaponsmith should be punished. I am merely carrying out my civic duties."

"..."

Zhang He felt like cursing. Unrelated to Cui Lang? Civic duties? He felt greatly wronged. This was a matter between the two. They should stop dragging him into it! Nearby, experts could be constantly seen soaring into the sky before landing on the ground again. Before long, all of them understood what was happening.

Old Cheng was here from Great Tang to catch someone. Who was he catching? His grandson-in-law. Great Zhou had a large number of Sunmoons. Thus, some Sunmoons started appearing nearby as well. But none of them bothered to get involved. They were only here to watch a good show. Cui Lang's fate did not matter to them.

Cheng Mo's laughter rang out again, "Cui Lang, this has nothing to do with you. Zhang He, release the hostage. If you stay stubborn, I'll have no choice but to kill you. How dare you hold someone hostage? Are you trying to revolt?"

Zhang He: "..."

He was going mad. Hostage? Would a hostage act like this? Was this kid even a hostage? Holy shit!

Su Yu was also left speechless. That was truly a creative excuse. As the person directly involved in the matter, his right to interfere had actually been removed just like that.

The undulations coming from the air behind them were growing more and more intense. Cheng Mo's voice rang out, "Zhang He, do not persist on the wrong path. Taking an earth weaponsmith hostage is a crime punishable with death."

"Senior Cheng, I'm not taking him hostage."

Zhang He was forced to deny the allegation. Cheng Mo's cold voice replied, "If that's true, release him."

He hadn't even arrived yet his voice was already spreading everywhere. The experts who had gathered nearby to watch the show couldn't stop laughing in amusement.

Hostage. With that allegation, Zhang He was in big trouble. So was he going to release Cui Lang or not? If he refused, Cheng Mo wouldn't spare him. With this allegation, he should count himself lucky if a beating was the only thing he was going to receive.

Left with no choice, Su Yu started shouting, "I'm not a hostage. Help! Help! Director Cheng of Great Tang is here to kill me! Help! Help! We're being hunted! Is Great Zhou going to watch as I die? Is this how you treat weaponsmiths?"

Su Yu howled in desperation. What was he supposed to do if he really ended up captured? The surrounding experts were left speechless. This was troublesome. What were they supposed to do now?

Cheng Mo said, "Help? Here to kill you? So what if I'm really here to kill you? Kid, have you forgotten what you did? You sullied the purity of my granddaughter. I have the right to kill you even if we're before Heavenly Forge King himself. What do you have to say for yourself?"

"I did nothing!"

"Stop denying."

And finally, the warping space dozens of kilometers behind them was torn open, revealing an old man. The old man was moving at a rapid pace.

After tearing through space to arrive here, the old man continued walking on thin air toward them. He had a burly body with white hair and white beard. Zhang He was still flying as fast as he could, but the old man continued closing the gap between them.

That old man was none other than Cheng Mo. He was a super expert, a ninth-stage Sunmoon. With each step, he could cross several kilometers. At this point, he was close enough that Su Yu could already see his white beard clearly.

Su Yu felt greatly helpless. Was he really going to get captured here? This would place him in a lot of trouble.

"Senior Cheng, stop chasing after us. I really have something important to do in the Allheaven Battlefield. I'm going there to pay my respects to Heavenly Forge King."

"Is that so? I thought you were planning to get Great Ming King and Great Tang King to teach me a lesson?"

Cheng Mo laughed in a calm and unhurried manner as he said, "You're actually planning to complain about me? Do you not remember what you did? Great Tang King and Great Ming King? Do you think Tang Tianzhong and Zhu Dizhu will go against an old friend like me for you?"

"..."

Silence suddenly descended.

Tang Tianzhong. Great Tang King.

Zhu Dizhu (Zhu Landlord). Great Ming King.

Great Tang King's name was quite normal. But Great Ming King's name...cough, cough. This was so rude.

Then again, having such crude names was quite normal during that era. And the Zhu Family used to be quite a poor family. Their sole dream was to become a landlord. Thus, Great Ming King's father had decided to give such a name to his son. And that seemed to have worked surprisingly well. After all, Great Ming King had eventually grown into a super landlord. The entire Great Ming was his.

Cheng Mo was indeed an old friend of the two Invincibles. In fact, people like Niu Baidao and the others were also the old friends of these founding kings. Of course, things could also be unequal among friends. Some of these people had gone on to become great Invincibles while some of them were still stuck as Sunmoons.

Su Yu felt more and more helpless. He was merely babbling nonsense when he uttered those words. Well, at the very least, he managed to learn Great Ming King's name from this encounter. That was...such a crude name.

Seeing that the old man was getting closer and closer, he felt powerless. They had already traveled a great distance. With a Sunmoon flying at full speed for so long, they were going to leave Great Zhou's borders soon.

After leaving Great Zhou, they only need to travel a short distance through the wilderness to reach the Allheaven Prefecture. There, he would be able to enter the Allheaven Battlefield.

"Faster, Brother Zhang. Faster!"

Zhang He didn't know what to do. He could no longer go any faster. In fact, he was running out of energy. Did the kid think that it was effortless to travel at such a speed? That was a ninth-stage Sunmoon! How was he supposed to escape such a powerhouse?

"Zhang He, why are you still not stopping? Do you want me to pay your home a visit?"

"Senior Cheng, I am only trying to complete a mission entrusted to me."

Zhang He was feeling more and more desperate.

"Mission? I suspect Cui Lang is a cultist. Put him down or I'll suspect that you're colluding with the cult!"

"..."

Zhang He was completely speechless. Su Yu hurriedly said, "Director Cheng is the mysterious master of the Original Devil Sect! Everyone, capture him! I have proof that he is the sect master! I'll be releasing the proof at the Allheaven Prefecture!"

"Hoh!" Cheng Mo laughed, "Good one, kid. Impressive. You are quite a ruthless one. Come on, then. Show us your proof."

"We'll talk about it at the Allheaven Prefecture."

"I will stop chasing you if you can show me the proof."

"If I take the proof out now, you'll kill me to remove the proof. Everyone, stop him. I will show the proof at the Allheaven Prefecture! He is also colluding with Lan Tian!"

Su Yu was madly tossing accusations at Cheng Mo. He didn't feel burdened as it wasn't like this would result in anything serious. If someone could be deemed to be a cultist by any random accusation, the Human Realm would have fallen long ago. He was only doing this in the hope that it would at least delay Cheng Mo for a little bit.
