Tribulation of Myriad Races

Chapter 958: Stand Tall, Great Ming! (2)

Chapter 958: Stand Tall, Great Ming! (2)

Looking at all the experts in the sky, Su Yu was very surprised.

Ye Hongyan had arrived.

This was someone from Great Ming, the wife of Principal Niu. Was she representing Great Ming or was she here in her personal capacity? She was very strong. During the short clash between her and the immortal, Su Yu could feel how terrifyingly strong they were.

That was obvious enough from the reaction of the mystic armor expert. Su Yu did not dare to pry too deeply, but from the intensity of the dot representing the mystic armor expert on his Perception Jade, that mystic armor was probably a third-stage Sunmoon. But a single attack of Ye Hongyan was enough to send the mystic armor flying while coughing blood, even when the strike had been partially blocked by Ming He.

Incredible.

Principal Niu was a seventh-stage Sunmoon. Ye Hongyan was probably at a similar level of strength. This was truly a power couple.

"How should I get in contact with her?"

Su Yu did not expect anyone from Great Ming to come. Ye Hongyan would probably be more reliable than Zheng Ping. He was sure of that even though he had only met her once.

She was the aunt of Ye Batian. Strictly speaking, she could also be considered a backer of the multiple character faction. Ye Batian was also the reason why so many myriad race experts were gathered here to hunt Su Yu down.

Su Yu sank into thought. After a while, he cursed inwardly.

Fuck!

Was he dumb? That was a seventh-stage Sunmoon. A super expert. Had he forgotten how he fainted during his first meeting with Marquis Xia?

As he grew in strength, the number of people capable of sensing his thoughts had been reducing. But that was only applicable when he was guarding his thoughts. If he opened his mind wide, a seventh-stage Sunmoon in his vicinity could very easily detect it if he started thinking about her. He had completely forgotten about that.

Then again, this trick would only work with Ye Hongyan's arrival. Old Zheng was only a freshly advanced Sunmoon. And he wasn't even a cultural researcher. He might not necessarily be able to sense anything even if Su Yu opened his mind wide.

Su Yu shook his head inwardly. Sure enough, Old Zheng was nothing but a clueless brute. With that new idea, Su Yu stopped trying to approach Old Zheng. Instead, he started retreating alongside the others.

After moving some distance away, he relaxed his willpower defense and started shouting in his mind, "Martial Mother Ye, Martial Mother Ye, I'm here. I'm here. I'm Su Yu. I'm Su Yu."

He kept shouting the same words in his mind. She was a high-stage Sunmoon. And the distance between them was so short. She should be able to sense something, right?

***

In the sky.

With a cold expression, Ye Hongyan moved away and ignored Ming He. Every now and then, she would glance at the mystic armor Sunmoon. Noticing the frosty gaze, the mystic armor Sunmoon felt incomparably helpless.

She was still targeting him. Ye Hongyan did not pay the divines and devils any attention. What was the point since she couldn't kill them? Was she supposed to stare them to death?

Zheng Ping wanted to offer her a greeting, but he gave up upon noticing the frosty aura around her. There was no need for them to talk. As long as she was here, it was enough. With her presence, he was no longer alone. With a high-stage Sunmoon around, his confidence had increased slightly.

Meanwhile, Ye Hongyan was busy thinking about what she could do here. It would be challenging. There were too many experts here. She wouldn't be able to save the target of all these experts so easily.

She might seem amazing, but there were no less than five experts present capable of fighting her to a tie. There were also at least two experts present capable of actually defeating her. One of them was an expert from the original devil race and the other was an expert from the celestial dragon race.

As for Ming He of the immortal race, she was merely equal in strength to Ye Hongyan. It was very rare to see so many experts gathered at one place.

Suddenly, Ye Hongyan sensed something.

Who was calling out to her?

As a super expert, her senses were extremely sharp. And according to her senses, someone was madly calling out to her.

"Su Yu?"

She thought of a certain possibility, but she quickly dismissed it. What nonsense. She was here to save Su Yu. He was still trapped inside the sealed city. Not even voice transmission talismans could get through the thick death qi shrouding the city, let alone her senses.

But that voice was becoming clearer and clearer to her senses. Thus, she started spreading her senses. She didn't even bother to hide it, forcing the Sunmoons in the area to resist her prying through their willpower or source qi.

Not far away, a devil expert coldly said, "Ye Hongyan, are you challenging all of us?"

She was too overbearing.

Ye Hongyan shot the devil a glance and indifferently said, "Are you challenging me?"

"..."

Utter silence descended.

A short while later, the expert from the original devil race said, "If you don't want to start a major war right away, all of you should stop creating trouble."

Ye Hongyan said, "I only had one family member left. My nephew. He's dead. A major war? So be it. Why do I care? Are you threatening me? I am more than happy to see a major war happening."

Silence descended. Nobody had anything to say. This woman had gone crazy. In fact, she had stopped being normal since her nephew's death. Whatever. They decided to ignore the crazy woman. No matter what, she was a high-stage Sunmoon. If a fight really broke out, nobody would have a good time.

Finally, Ye Hongyan discovered the source of the call. It came from a Cloudbreach standing far away from all the experts. She had seen Su Yu's disguise as Cui Lang before, so she was aware that he was good at disguises. But she wasn't sure if he was good enough to transform into a non-human.

How odd. Was that really Su Yu? If that was Su Yu, who was the Su Yu in the city? Was this a joke? So many people had died in the city. Even with so many geniuses and experts there, they couldn't restore peace. The death spirits still roamed the streets. If Su Yu was really out here, what was going on inside the city?

Ye Hongyan was stunned.

She found this hard to believe.

The call for her continued. After thinking about it, she reached out in Su Yu's direction. Several minor race members near Su Yu paled as they found themselves being dragged in her direction alongside Su Yu.

With a cold and detached tone, Ye Hongyan asked, "The city gates are still sealed. I need you to try opening the gates."

"Lord!" A horned individual hurriedly said, "We are far from capable of breaking into a sealed ancient city. Even if we can, that will only cause a large number of death spirits to appear. Please spare us, Lord."

What rotten luck was this? Why were they the ones caught by this human Sunmoon? The experts of the other races said nothing. This had nothing to do with them so they were completely unrelated.

In fact, they would be glad to see them dying while doing her bidding. That would only generate more animosity toward the human race.

"You. You'll go first."

After saying that, Ye Hongyan grabbed Su Yu's head. He hurriedly wailed for mercy, "Please spare my life, Lord! This lowly one is too weak to even approach the gates. The city is filled with death qi. Even getting near the city will..."

As Su Yu wailed on, an odd look appeared in Ye Hongyan's eyes. She was the one who had previously reminded Su Yu to avoid the touch of high-stage Sunmoons when he was in disguise.

A touch was enough for a high-stage Sunmoon to detect that something was off with his appearance. And that was proven true yet again. This fellow was no iron-winged bird. He merely resembled one.

Su Yu! He was actually outside the city! And he was actually mixed among the crowd gathered around the city, leisurely watching the show.

Holy shit!

Ye Hongyan had the urge to curse loudly. Everyone thought that the damn brat was inside the city. She had spent several days traversing the Plain of Desires just to reach this city. She even clashed with Ming He the immortal bitch briefly for his sake. But this damn brat was outside the city all along? She had the urge to slap him to death.

Ye Hongyan glared at Su Yu frostily. She wasn't even pretending to be cold toward him. She was revealing her true feelings. With her hand wrapped around his head, she noiselessly sent something into his sea of willpower. He did not resist.

Then, she coldly said, "If I’m telling you to go, you go. Even if you don't go now, you won't be able to avoid entering after the gates reopen. As someone making a living in this area, you should be familiar with the city, right?"

Su Yu carefully said, "Lord, I know the city decently. If you wish to look for a guide, this little one will gladly serve you. But not now. We won't be able to open the gates. We will simply die the moment we approach one of the gates. Lord, I'm willing to serve as your guide when the gates reopen!"

"Piss off."

Seemingly losing interest, Ye Hongyan tossed Su Yu and the others away. Then, she stared at the city with a frown, seemingly thinking of a way to enter the city.

When Zheng Ping saw that she had not killed indiscriminately, he exhaled in relief. He said, "General Ye, the gates will probably reopen in around one day. There is no way for us to enter before then."

"I know." Ye Hongyan said, "Do I look so dumb that I need your reminder?"

Zheng Ping cursed inwardly. What an unreasonable person! She deserved a womanizing husband like Niu Baidao!

***

Meanwhile, Su Yu withdrew his focus into his sea of willpower. What was that? A voice transmission talisman? This seemed to be a high-end model. He tried activating it. And sure enough, a row of words appeared on it.

"Why are you outside the city?"

"Because I left the city."

What nonsense answer was that?

Ye Hongyan replied, "Leave immediately. Since you're not inside the city, I'll also take my leave."

"No, wait! Martial Mother Ye, can you do me a favor? Notify the other human experts to leave after grabbing Qin Fang. I'm planning to perform a slaughter here. I don't want Qin Fang to get caught in the crossfire."

"Slaughter?"

"Yea. I'm going to slaughter all these Sunmoons. If you're interested, can you help me stop anyone from leaving the city when the gates start shutting for the second time? Also, if any of these experts try to remain outside the city, can you chase them all into the city for me? Or you can just kill them all instead."

"..."

Ye Hongyan felt like she was dreaming.

Slaughter. Slaughtering Sunmoons. Shutting the city gates for the second time.

She was no fool. She was aware of the situations that would lead to the sealing of ancient cities. Firstly, the mayor of an ancient city could choose to seal the city. Secondly, an ancient city would seal itself without anyone's control.

The second situation would only arise when Sunmoon death spirits appeared. Sealing the city for the second time...

A vague understanding dawned on her.
