Chapter 1372: An Elder At Home (3)

Before long, Su Yu was gone.

Once again, Grand Dream City returned to its usual silence.

As for Su Yu, he started preparing a suitable identity to enter the Luminous Domain Mansion.

Liu Hong's identity was usable...but he wasn't inclined to use it. That fellow had offended Topsoil Spirit. As of late, Topsoil Spirit had been looking for Liu Hong everywhere. Topsoil Spirit did not tell anyone the reason. Perhaps it was too embarrassing to mention.

After all, it was simply too shameful for an expert like him to get fooled by a weakling like Liu Hong.

Disguised as a random human, Su Yu started heading toward the Luminous Domain Mansion. During the past few days, the humans with the tokens to enter the mansion had been arriving one after another. This time, the human race had obtained 430 slots.

There were also some who had failed to receive any slots who were planning to try their luck with the special entrance. Of course, the special entrance would be a lot more dangerous than the regular entrances.

Su Yu had done some research on the special entrance as well. A total of 360 people could enter through the special entrance. But each opening, thousands or even tens of thousands of people would attempt to enter through these entrances. Out of these people, only 360 would be successful. In short, the mortality rate of those attempting the special entrance was extremely high.

That was also the regular battleground for the minor races. Since they couldn't get any of the regular slots, they could only place all their hope on the special entrance. The major races had intentionally left the special entrance alone to give the minor races a tiny bit of hope to placate the minor races.

"Should I use a special entrance or a regular entrance?"

Su Yu sank into thought.

The special entrance was filled with uncertainties.

The competition there would also be extremely stiff.

He might even end up exposing his identity if he got unlucky.

Should he use the regular entrance instead? That would keep things simple. Of course, there were also some benefits to using the special entrance. According to his research, those using the special entrance would often find themselves transported to some treasure lands in the mansion. Some people would also receive some special benefits, like how those who entered an ancient city through the main gate would receive additional protection against death qi.

"Whatever. I'll use a regular entrance. If I really want to enter through a special entrance, it will be better to carry some ancient city medallions when entering. Due to the mysterious connection between the ancient cities and the mansion, the medallions might make the process of entering smoother..."

Numerous thoughts emerged in Su Yu's mind.

Since he wanted to enter the Luminous Domain Mansion, he naturally had to do more research on it. Unfortunately, the information regarding the mansion was quite confusing as fake stories were being deliberately spread to make it hard for one to determine what was accurate and not.

When it came to the Luminous Domain Mansion, not even the information one bought from the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion would be guaranteed to be correct.

There wouldn't even be a need for the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion to worry about its reputation for providing fake information. If one relied on their fake information, one would simply die upon entering a dangerous location in the mansion and nobody would know about it.

As for those skeptical of the information bought from the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion, they wouldn't rely entirely on the information to enter the dangerous location. Thus, they wouldn't be able to verify the authenticity of the information even if they weren't dead. There was simply no risk to the pavilion's reputation.

Thus, Su Yu had been skeptical about all the information he had gathered regarding the mansion.

For example, Liu Hong had offered to sell him a surprisingly large amount of information regarding the Luminous Domain Mansion. He was only a step away from offering a full map and introduction to the mansion. But would one dare to risk one's life based on a map purchased from Liu Hong?

Only a fool would do so.

"I guess I need to look for Wu Lan."

Finally, Su Yu decided to look for Wu Lan. That fellow seemed really serious about going. As an early Skysoar who was also a pure researcher, she insisted on entering the Luminous Domain Mansion. Su Yu couldn't help but wonder about the source of her courage. Did her nostrils give her the confidence to enter the mansion?

Surprisingly, the Wu Family had not advised her against it. Su Yu was quite speechless about that. Wasn't that the same as seeking death? Things would be very dangerous for every human in the mansion this time.

Furthermore, Teacher Bai and the others seemed to be thinking of entering as well. That was way too dangerous.

Su Yu had the urge to persuade them against this madness, but he knew that those from his line were too stubborn. Liu Wenyan and the others didn't want to rely on Su Yu too much. Thus, they viewed the Luminous Domain Mansion as an opportunity for them to get more cultivation treasures.

Su Yu couldn't help but wonder where they were at the moment.

At that thought, he tried his voice transmission talisman.

It was very hard to send messages in the Sea of Stars. Often, these messages would fail to reach their recipients due to the many interferences in the region.

Su Yu was in no rush. He was only trying his luck here. If he really couldn't contact them, he could always disguise himself as a random minor race member and enter through a special entrance.

He had yet to decide on which entrance to take. He also didn't know if he wanted to disguise himself as Wu Lan or some other human. During this opening, the myriad races would be targeting the human race. Things might get complicated.

He decided to try contacting them before making up his mind.

Surprisingly, he received a reply not long after.

***

Not far away, Liu Wenyan was quite surprised.

"Why are you out and about again? Aren't you dying? I'm on my way to visit you at Grandstar City. Why are you out of the city?"

Liu Wenyan didn't know what to say anymore.

He swore that he would never visit a dying Su Yu anymore in the future. Su Yu would simply not die.

This wasn't the first time either. Previously, Su Yu was trapped in Heavendoom City. Everyone said that he would die soon. Thus, Liu Wenyan had rushed over to help. But Su Yu was the one to find him midway instead.

And now, the same thing was happening.

Su Yu was very surprised as well. Was Teacher Liu nearby?

How did a reply arrive so quickly?

"Teacher, where are you? Are you alone?"

"Yes."

Liu Wenyan replied, "We are moving separately. Moving together will make us a tempting target for our enemies. A lot of people are paying close attention to me. I told the others to move without me while I visit you. They didn't bother to visit because they knew you would be fine."

Wow. They sure had a lot of confidence in him.

After exchanging greetings, Su Yu asked, "Teacher, where are the others? We shouldn't meet. It won't benefit either of us. We might be able to meet in the mansion instead."

Liu Wenyan instantly understood what Su Yu was thinking. The kid was looking for an identity to borrow again.

He did not bother to say much. Instead, he told Su Yu everything he knew, including the locations of other humans and their dao protectors. Then, he said, "Don't tell me too much about your plan. Regardless of who you're entering as, pretend you don't know me after entering. Don't risk anything."

"Got it."

Su Yu knew what to do. It wouldn't hurt to be careful since he was currently the most wanted man in the Myriad Realms.

***

After about three hours.

When Su Yu saw Wu Lan near Grandstar City, he sighed. What a brazen lass.

Wu Lan, Wu Jia, and Wu Qi were all there. More importantly, they only had one Sunmoon serving as their dao protector. Wasn't this the same as seeking death? Were they not scared traversing the Allheaven Battlefield like this?

Then again, this was also quite understandable. Among them, Wu Qi was the only person with a little bit of fame. As for the other two, nearly nobody knew them. Using a Sunmoon as a dao protector was more than enough.

Hidden in the dark, Su Yu rubbed his chin and contemplated. Should he...really disguise himself as Wu Lan?

Sigh.

Wu Lan was actually quite a good identity to borrow. With her identity, he wouldn't even need to worry about meeting someone she knew. He only needed to raise his head, show them his nostrils, and snort.

Nobody would suspect anything.

It would only be suspicious if Wu Lan started speaking instead of snorting. Wasn't this the perfect identity to borrow?

𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

He only needed to snort if he didn't feel like talking.

Su Yu sighed. He didn't like this idea at all. But what was this coincidence? Why was she here? This was too convenient. He could replace her here and nobody would notice anything.

"You will do."

With a sigh, Su Yu firmed his mind and decided. He would disguise himself as Wu Lan!

She didn't even have that much combat experience. She would only drag her sister down inside the mansion. How cruel of her to treat her sister like that. Fortunately, the kind Su Yu was here to save her and her sister.

This would also be a convenient identity for him to stick close to Bai Feng and the others.

Shortly after, Wu Lan looked around curiously before saying to Wu Qi, "Sister, I need to go for something."

"Hmm?"

Wu Qi was quite surprised. What was Wu Lan doing?

"I'll be back soon."

Wu Lan did not explain. She was curious. Why was Su Yu looking for her? Why was he here? Wait, since Grandstar City was here, it would be normal for him to be here as well.

Wu Qi hurriedly said, "Don't run around. Aren't you entering Grandstar City?"

"Yeah. Later. I'll be back shortly."

"You..."

Wu Lan ran off before Wu Qi could say anything else. She swore inwardly. This younger sister was still as disobedient as ever. She hurriedly followed. She was starting to regret letting her sister come.

Meanwhile, Wu Lan was running at her top speed. She was no fool. She wouldn't be running off alone for no reason. But since Su Yu was nearby, it was safe for her to do so.

Her talisman frequency was not known to outsiders. There also wasn't any point in baiting her out disguised as Su Yu. If someone wanted to do that, they were better off baiting Wu Jia out instead.

It wasn't like she was very close to Su Yu. Yeap. According to her, she was only a little bit close to Su Yu. But no outsiders knew that. Sure, she was also a member of the Source Soul Research Center. But they were only fellow researchers, not friends.

With all sorts of random thoughts in her mind, Wu Lan vanished into the distance.

Su Yu was waiting somewhere further away. He did not tell her to enter Grandstar City as too many people were monitoring the city.

As for the Sunmoon acting as the dao protector, truth be told, Sunmoons were no longer strong for Su Yu. At the very least, all Sunmoon below the late stage would no longer be considered strong for him.

Meanwhile, their dao protector was merely a first-stage Sunmoon. Su Yu was doubtful that the Sunmoon could even detect him with that measly strength.
