Chapter 1270: End Of Battle (3)

Before long, Liu Wenyan was gone.

Not long after, numerous individuals appeared in the sky. There were people of various races among them, including some humans. This seemed to be the finale of the recent conflict.

A human expert demanded furiously, "Su Yu, where is Wan Tiansheng!"

News of Wan Tiansheng's slaughter had finally spread to the Allheaven Battlefield.

A myriad race Invincible demanded coldly, "Hand Wan Tiansheng over and the matter will end here. Wan Tiansheng is the enemy of the myriad races. There is no redemption for his bloodlust."

They did not say anything about Su Yu himself. As an ancient city mayor, it wouldn't be easy for them to do anything to him.

Su Yu was quite surprised. These people had been fighting each other not long ago. But now...they seemed to have reconciled with each other.

He was rendered speechless.

Sure enough, the truth might be trickier than it appeared to be. The myriad races were indeed hostile toward the humans. But with all the fighting done, peace would be maintained as long as it wasn't a blood feud.

"He ran." Su Yu replied indifferently, "He ran when the Devil Pseudo Emperor was attacked."

"Ran?"

"How could he run? With the ancient city sealed, where could he go?"

They howled at Su Yu furiously.

Su Yu's expression turned cold. He hovered into the sky and raised his voice, "I told you he ran. Are you deaf? Are you questioning me? I kept more than ten Invincibles busy while you were busy fighting. I even summoned two Pseudo Emperors to fight for you. I even sacrificed my ruin for your scheme. You dare question me? Come in and search the city. I dare you."

Su Yu snorted and said, "Fuck off. This is not your turf. Be careful lest I call the help of my lord stone statues and the two Pseudo Emperors of the soul devourer race. We can fight it out if you're unhappy with my answer. Also, humanity needs to compensate me for the ruin I lost. You can refuse, but you'll regret it."

He looked at everyone and said, "Piss off. If you think you're better than the Devil Pseudo Emperor, you are free to try me."

Then, he dragged the little furball out of his sea of willpower, tossed the little furball into the air, and said, "Come on. Kill him. If you kill him, I'll tell you where Wan Tiansheng is. What a bunch of fools. Who do you take me for? I'm Su Yu, not Xia Longwu. Do you think you can bully me as you wish?"

Su Yu then turned to face the mayor's residence and said, "Lord Grandstar, this time, they're the ones here to pick a fight with me. I didn't leave the city. I did nothing to deserve this!"

Instantly, Grandstar appeared above the city. At this point, he only needed to back Su Yu with his presence. That wasn't an issue for him. He wasn't alone. The stone statues of the surrounding ancient cities also manifested. All of them stared at the gathered experts expressionlessly.

Many of the gathered experts paled.

Su Yu looked at them and said, "Are you not leaving yet? Do you think I'm scared of you just because some of you are Invincibles? Do you think you're a big deal just because there are dozens of Invincibles here? I'm warning you. Don't provoke me. Also, Hollow stole my Culture Tomb. The myriad races better return the Culture Tomb to me or you won't like the consequences. Right, I even wasted two carrier treasures to help Xia Longwu with his dao affirmation..."

As he said that, he tossed the two carrier treasures toward two of the ancient cities nearby. He wasn't even bothered to check their response and continued talking, "The Xia Family must compensate me for this. They can pay themselves or they can get the other humans to pay. I don't care. Without my payment, don't blame me when I stop showing mercy to even humans in the Allheaven Battlefield. With my help, I no longer owe the human race, the Xia Family, and everyone else anything. I have contributed to every single new Invincible you gained today. I killed more Sunmoons today than many of you can kill in your entire lives. I alone caused the destruction of more tri-life bodies than all of you combined."

He regarded the newly advanced Invincibles and said without a trace of politeness, "All of you owe me. Without me, you would have failed your dao affirmations today. It was all me. I sacrificed my ruin for the cause. I protected the Xia Family with my ancient city. I was the one who had lured so many Pseudo Invincibles over to die and lose their carrier treasure to you. I was also the one who had lured Fiery Sea out of hiding. Where is your conscience? How dare you come here to pressure me so soon after receiving my help? Who are you to do that?"

Su Yu held nothing back as he schooled the Invincibles like they were children.

Liu Wenyan was right. There was no need for him to hold back anymore. Remaining courteous would only encourage the humans to keep taking advantage of him. And that would be annoying to handle.

Nobody could counter his words.

Su Yu continued, "Remember. My Culture Tomb and two carrier treasures. That is what you owe me. There is no escaping this debt, humans. As for the divines, you better fuck off. I didn't deign to kill that piece of trash called Zhan Wushuang. I had tossed him out long ago. He must have returned home himself. You can look for him yourself. As for the other races, those without at least forty Invincibles in your race better fuck off as well. Don't force me to make the entire Allheaven Battlefield a forbidden zone for you."

"..."

The expressions of numerous Invincibles changed upon hearing that. Those from the minor races couldn't even find anything to say. Someone was threatening to make the Allheaven Battlefield a forbidden zone for them. That someone was a Cloudbreach. And they were Invincibles.

Would he be able to do so? The answer was...probably yes. There were thirty-six ancient cities scattered all over the Allheaven Battlefield. Su Yu was unlike any other ancient city mayor.

Just look at the stone statues staring menacingly at them. Clearly, he had their backing.

And that was very terrifying.

Su Yu continued shouting at them, "Well? What are you waiting around for? Are you laying siege to the city? Bring it on! Invite the Divine and Immortal Emperors. Tell them to try. I don't like trouble, but I don't fear trouble. At worst, I'll die, but not before dragging an Emperor down with me."

"..."

At this, the little furball also spoke with his tender voice, "Yeah! I don't like trouble, but I don't fear trouble! You want to fight? Bring it on!"

"..."

He spoke with the voice of a little boy, but his declaration managed to send a shiver up the spines of some Invincibles. They were now certain that Su Yu was the one who had summoned the two Pseudo Emperors out of their lair.

This human...had grown even scarier than before.

Was this furball the young lad mentioned by the Soul Devourer Pseudo Emperor earlier?

They all sighed inwardly. Two Pseudo Emperors...no, there might be one more among the ancient stone statues. Multiple Pseudo Emperors and numerous ancient stone statues...Su Yu was no longer someone they could provoke lightly.

After scolding the crowd to his heart's content, Su Yu sneered at them and started flying back to the mayor's residence. With his back to them, he continued speaking, "On behalf of all the ancient cities, I demand a hundred spots at the coming opening of the Luminous Domain Mansion. I don't care how you're going to get those spots. Just make sure those spots will be available to me by the time the mansion opens. Otherwise, we will all stay outside. The thirty-six ancient cities will block the entrance, ensuring nobody can enter. If you disagree with this, you are free to challenge me."

The eyes of the other ancient city mayors flickered thoughtfully upon hearing those words. Soon, one of the mayors laughed and said, "Exactly. Mayor Su speaks for us. We will require a hundred spots for the coming opening."

The expressions of the gathered Invincibles turned unsightly. They had arrived to demand the handover of Wan Tiansheng. But before they could say much, they were issued a list of demands instead.

The Invincibles didn't know what to do.

Right at that moment, a sigh rang out. Great Qin King's voice came from afar as he said, "We will try to look for the Culture Tomb. As for the carrier treasures...we will deliver the replacements soon. Do you have any other demands?"

Su Yu replied, "I'm not demanding anything. I'm not forcing anyone to do anything. I'm only asking for the return of my possessions. As for my contribution of keeping dozens of Invincibles occupied during the battle, I'll consider that my debt to the human race. After all, I grew up in the Human Realm as well. The human race owes me a lot more, but I have still benefited from the eighteen peaceful years I spent in the Human Realm. I owe that peace to the human Invincibles. With this, I no longer owe you anything. I'm a living dead. I don't even know if I'll live to see tomorrow. Consider this the termination of my association with humanity."

A different Invincible sighed and asked, "Su Yu, are you...separating yourself from humanity?"

Su Yu replied calmly, "Not really. I have simply ceased being a human. After all, I'm now half a death spirit. Of course, if humanity believes that I'm unworthy of calling myself a human, so be it. As for Wan Tiansheng, his affairs have nothing to do with me. You are free to look for him. It's not my business. He's neither my teacher nor my family. Why are you coming to me for him? He has a perfectly healthy pair of legs he can use to go where he wants. Are you coming after me because you think I'm easy to bully? Despite my contributions to humanity? How dare you? If that's how you want to do things, I'm perfectly fine with banning all humans from the thirty-six ancient cities from now on."

The expressions of several individuals changed. This time, the myriad race Invincibles remained silent and enjoyed the show. They were most certainly not going to interfere in this.

The divines were originally here to throw a tantrum because Su Yu had killed Zhan Wushuang. But...Zhan Wushuang had left long ago. In that case, they had no reason to do anything here.

It wasn't like Su Yu was an easy target. If he was showing no respect to even the human Invincibles, he most certainly wouldn't show them any respect.

"Everyone, return to the Eastrift Valley."

Once again, Great Qin King's voice rang out. More than ten human Invincibles had arrived, but Great Qin King and the others weren't among them. The human Invincibles here found themselves out of words.

The newly advanced Invincibles owed Su Yu for their recent advancements.

The older Invincibles also owed Su Yu because he had occupied the attention of dozens of Invincibles with his massive sacrifice. That argument was quite questionable as they believed that Su Yu's impact wasn't quite that big. But it wasn't an easy thing to argue about.

They knew that Su Yu was the one who had let Wan Tiansheng go. But Su Yu was no longer a member of Great Xia or Great Ming. They could do nothing to him.

Someone laughed heartily and said, "Su Yu, they are different from us. Your Grandstar City is right in the Sea of Stars. When people from Great Ming are here, please take good care of them."

It was Niu Baidao.

Su Yu laughed and cupped his hands, "Congratulations, Principal for the recent breakthrough."

"Hahaha. Congratulations to you as well."

Niu Baidao said, "Congratulations on becoming the overlord of this region. When you're free, you're welcome to pay Great Ming a visit."

Su Yu said, "I'll see. I'm afraid I'll get encircled and killed if I enter the Human Realm. Here, I have the protection of numerous Invincibles. But after entering the Human Realm, there is no guarantee that humanity won't sell me off to help others affirm their dao. The big picture is very important. Alas, I'm too short-sighted to see the big picture."

"Also, please take care of my father. That is my sole family left in the world. When my father dies...I will probably stop being a human completely. Seniors, you should take good care of him lest the myriad races get to enjoy more shows out of humanity's expense."

Everyone understood his implicit threat. Nobody said anything.

Seeing that nobody was replying, Niu Baidao laughed and said, "Don't worry. He will be fine. The troublemakers...are all dead."

Su Yu smiled, "That's good to hear. I have one more thing to say. Humanity might not owe me anything else, but it definitely owes my line. My teacher and the others are residing in Liu City. I hope nothing happens to them.

"As for Wan Tiansheng, I know what he did. He is indeed a vile criminal. I will most certainly kill him the next time I see him. Don't worry, everyone. How dare he kill so many Mountainseas and Sunmoons? Fortunately, he stopped at that. For a moment, I thought he was going to erase entire families. In his position, I...hahaha, I would definitely kill more--cough, cough. I was joking. Don't take me seriously."

Su Yu joked, in a tone that suggested he wasn't joking at all, as he patted the little furball's head and said, "Little Furball, grow up fast. Grow as strong as your dada. If anyone provokes me, eat their entire family. Eat even their pets. What's the point of being gentle? We're neither demons nor saints. Am I right?"

The little furball nodded his entire body.

Once again, everyone sank into silence. The same man who had promised to punish Wan Tiansheng for his crimes had suggested that he was going to be even more heavy-handed than Wan Tiansheng.

At the very least, Wan Tiansheng had only killed the Mountainseas and Sunmoons. Meanwhile, Su Yu was suggesting that he wouldn't even let the pets of his enemies off. Losing interest in continuing this conversation, the myriad race Invincibles left one after another.

As for the humans, some Invincibles were still furious. However, there was nothing they could do. Wan Tiansheng had simply been too ruthless. Some of them had lost almost all their descendants to Wan Tiansheng's slaughter.

Alas, Wan Tiansheng was no longer here.

𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

What were they supposed to do? Take their revenge against Su Yu?

They might be the ones to die instead of Su Yu.

And thus, the human Invincibles started leaving as well.

Seeing that, Su Yu smiled and said, "Humans, don't forget to deliver my carrier treasures. Don't even try to claim that you don't have any. Quite a lot of Pseudo Invincibles and tri-life bodies had died this time. If I don't get my compensation...I'll remember this forever."

***

Eastrift Valley.

Great Qin King smiled and shook his head. He said, "Great Zhou and Great Qin will provide a carrier treasure each. We'll deliver both to him soon. As for Hollow...Zhou Tianyuan, you're good at timespace manipulation. Search for him with Zhu Tianfang. Zhu Tianfang used to be Hollow's superior so he might be helpful in the search."

"Are we really compensating him?" An Invincible questioned, "We have a shortage of carrier treasures..."

Great Qin King said, "Yes. Are you going to provoke him into doing something against your people? Stop being so arrogant. He's no longer a human. The entire multiple character faction has left the Human Realm. Or to be precise, Great Xia's multiple character faction is no more. He is no longer bound to the human race. Of course, you're free to make a move on his father if you're feeling confident. Maybe that will be enough to blackmail a few more carrier treasures from him. Why don't you give it a try?"

Silence descended.

This wasn't funny.

After what happened to the Devil Pseudo Emperor, nobody wanted to provoke him for no good reason. As for his father, they were more than happy to leave that hot potato in the care of Xia Family.

The multiple character faction of Great Xia was filled with lunatics. It would be wiser to stay away from these lunatics.

Great Qin King sighed and said, "This is a victory, but humanity still faces plenty of trouble. If you are one of those whose descendants were killed by Wan Tiansheng, reflect on yourself. As for Wan Tiansheng, you are free to seek him out for revenge, but that will be your personal business, not the business of humanity. That is all I have to say."

At this moment, Xia Longwu said, "Great Qin King, Great Xia has suffered greatly during the conflict. We will be withdrawing from the Allheaven Battlefield for ten years. My apologies for the trouble."

Great Qin King looked at Xia Longwu, inhaled deeply, and nodded. "Fine. Great Xia will be exempted from its duty in the Allheaven Battlefield for ten years. Great Ming will be exempted for five years."

With that, Great Xia King and Xia Longwu left without sparing anyone a glance. The remaining Invincibles had thoughtful expressions, but nobody said anything. The conflict might have ended, but there were likely more troubles awaiting humanity in the future.
