Chapter 1456: Genius and The Lunatic (3)

Somewhere in the Devote King's residence. Mo Duona grinned. That final sentence was pointless. What was the point of adding that sentence?

He knew this would happen. Su Yu had always been very capable. After only half an hour, he had completed the mission. Not only had he found a Pseudo Invincible, but he had even found six ninth-stage Sunmoons to help with the job.

Sure enough, this was the correct choice. A regular person would not be able to find so many experts to fight Mo Duona in only half an hour. Meanwhile, Su Yu could. Sure enough, he couldn't change his troublemaking ways even after changing his appearance.

With a smile, Mo Duona said, "Lord Zhankui, watch out. With Ling Heng's escape, Dao Cheng might come looking for us with Taihe. Kill Taihe when you see him."

The indistinct shadow behind him said, "Dao King's line might not be too strong, but killing Taihe might still provoke a small conflict between the devils and immortals."

Mo Duona said, "You can decide for yourself. I am killing Dao Cheng. Nobody can stop me. Do what you wish when Taihe tries to kill me."

"Prince..." Taihe could only agree helplessly, "I'll follow your command."

Inwardly, he cursed. He started praying that Dao Cheng wouldn't come. He didn't mind killing Taihe, but Dao King would not spare him after he was out of the mansion. As a ninth-stage Sunmoon, Taihe was quite important to Dao King.

Furthermore, Mo Duona was aiming to kill Dao Cheng. That would be even more troublesome. That was Dao King's grandson, also a Heaven Index genius. Dao King would never let this slide.

Mo Duona did not bother to look for help. There was no need for that. What if that resulted in the survival of his shadow? Wouldn't that be unfortunate? In any case, he was not a coward. Calling for help would not fit his personality. His shadow might start growing suspicious.

***

Mo Duona continued roaming the Devote King's residence randomly. He did not make any effort to hide from anyone. Thus, Su Yu and the immortals were able to learn of his location quickly.

He was at the Martial Hall. That was a massive hall inside Devote King's residence. That used to be the training hall of Devote King's subordinates and descendants. After so many years, the hall had been mostly emptied by the various explorers. Thus, it was no longer a popular location for the various explorers.

Xuan Wuji wasn't even trying seriously to look for Mo Duona. Alas, he had still discovered Mo Duona's location easily. In fact, he was quite unhappy about it. Fine, fine. He decided to go and have a talk with Mo Duona. If Mo Duona refused to relent, he would simply throw some threats out before retreating.

Mo Duona was not the type of person to make someone his target just because someone had thrown some threats his way. He was too arrogant to care about that. This would be a good way for Xuan Wuji to save face without risking himself.

There was no way a battle would break out between them. Was this a joke? Nobody was free enough to start a fight for something so minor. He didn't even bother to ask Dao Cheng to divine their fate after meeting Mo Duona.

However, Dao Cheng still offered his services, "Let me do a quick divination on our coming encounter."

Xuan Wuji did not see a need in that, but he still nodded, "Sure. Thank you, Brother Dao."

"I'm only doing my part."

Then, his character appeared above his palm. At the same time, Su Yu activated his characters stealthily. What characters did he activate? The tribulation and calm characters.

Both characters were near the Sunmoon Realm. There was no way Dao Cheng's character was higher leveled than his. Thus, he was confident he could disrupt Dao Cheng's divination.

The tribulation character could both increase and weaken one's sense of crisis. As for the calm character, it was also incredibly effective. After all, it was the character of Great Zhou King, the most cunning human in existence.

Su Yu had never paid any attention to Dao Cheng's divination. This time, he was paying close attention. He refused to believe that Dao Cheng was better than him. So what if Dao Cheng had learned directly from Dao King?

That was merely a seventh-degree Eternal. Meanwhile, Great Zhou King was rumored to be an eighth-degree Eternal. Since he was a cunning fox, he was probably a secret ninth-degree Eternal instead. He would most definitely be stronger than Dao King.

Furthermore, the tribulation character was a natural character. It was naturally better than Dao Cheng's character as well.

Unsurprisingly, Dao Cheng frowned soon after he started his divination. He could feel some crisis, but the sensation was too vague. This was completely different from his previous divination. Had the danger level dropped because he was going with so many people?

He made another divination. Once again, Su Yu messed with the results.

After some time, Dao Cheng exhaled and said, "It will be safe."

Xuan Wuji smiled, "I knew it. Brother Dao, you are good at divination. I will place my trust in you."

The others also exhaled in relief. None of them could remain calm at the prospect of facing Mo Duona. Since Dao Cheng's divination said that they would be fine, they no longer needed to worry.

They only needed to put on a show to preserve their reputation. This was much more acceptable than actually fighting Mo Duona.

However, Dao Cheng was still frowning. Just as he was deep in thought, he received a voice transmission from Su Yu, "Prince, we shouldn't go. I think we should find an excuse to leave. I'm feeling uneasy about this. This is the danger sense of a Sunmoon. Perhaps everyone else will be fine, but a disaster is coming for me."

When Dao Cheng looked over, he saw that Ling Heng was already sweating all over. He was surprised to see that. Was that really the case? Was this really dangerous for Ling Heng? Once again, Dao Cheng performed a divination. This time, it was targeted toward Ling Heng.

Su Yu could clearly feel the attempt. Thus, he hurriedly activated the tribulation character to give off the impression that a calamity was upon him. After a short moment, Dao Cheng looked up with shock. There was really danger!

A calamity was indeed coming for his Senior Brother Ling Heng! In that case, was the slight danger he detected during his previous divination meant for his senior brother instead of him? He was surprised. Why would all of them be fine except his senior brother?

Perhaps...his senior brother was the actual target of Mo Duona. Was that the case? Just what was going on? After learning that he would be fine, Dao Cheng felt much less worried. His senior brother was the source of the tiny bit of danger that might befall him.

In that case...perhaps it wouldn't be a bad thing for his senior brother to die. Otherwise, his senior brother would end up dragging him down. Why was his senior brother being targeted? Was it because of the blood reishin? An idea came to him. The blood reishin was very useful for the blood fire devils.

At that, he sent a voice transmission, "Don't worry, Senior Brother. I understand what's happening. How about this? You can keep the blood reishin on you. If you have to, just give it to Mo Duona. I suspect he's targeting the blood reishin."

Su Yu replied hesitantly, "Give it to him?"

"Yes." Dao Cheng replied, "We can always look for more treasures. Keeping your life is better than keeping your treasure only to lose your life."

Dao Cheng wanted to solve this issue as well. Thus, he didn't mind giving the blood reishin away. Su Yu could only accept the blood reishin helplessly. Inwardly, he cursed that Dao Cheng was a scumbag for telling him to go even after knowing that this could get very dangerous for him.

"I guess I'll have to kill you to avenge Ling Heng."

That was what Su Yu told himself to rationalize what he was going to do next. It wasn't that he wanted to kill Dao Cheng. If Dao Cheng had told him to leave, he would have done so. But Dao Cheng was telling him to go with them. In short, Dao Cheng was forcing him to take action.

What could he do if Dao Cheng wanted to die? He had given Dao Cheng the chance to avoid this disaster. He had generously used the tribulation character to show Dao Cheng that this could get dangerous for him. Even so, Dao Cheng still wanted him to go. What could he do about this?

Su Yu told himself that this really wasn't his choice. This was Dao Cheng's choice. Soon, they reached the Martial Hall. The massive bronze gate of the hall was wide open. Deep inside the hall, someone was standing with his back facing the gate. Many of the immortal geniuses blanked out momentarily at the sight of that person.

They couldn't help but be charmed by the presence of the number one genius of the Myriad Realms. Meanwhile, Su Yu was cursing inwardly that Mo Duona was being too dramatic. What was the big deal about that fluttering purple hair? Would that look better than fluttering black hair and white robes?

Mo Duona should count himself lucky since this wasn't the proper occasion for them to compete in looks. When the immortals stepped into the hall, the gate swung shut. Xuan Wuji and the others were alarmed, but they forced themselves to stay calm. For young geniuses like them, face was very important. Even if they were scared, they couldn't show it.

Xuan Wuji was informed by his dao protector that there were two people in the hall. Mo Duona and a Pseudo Invincible. The immortals had the numerical advantage. They had nothing to fear. Mo Duona should be the one in fear, not them. How brazen of him to shut the gate even when he was being outnumbered like this.

Mo Duona smiled lightly. Without even turning to face them, he said, "I have been waiting here for you."

Xuan Wuji smiled, thinking that Mo Duona was talking to him. He said, "Brother Mo Duona, I heard what happened. I'm only here to find out the truth. Also, where is my Senior Brother Pan Hu?"

Mo Duona turned around with two shining balls in his hand. He said, "Here. Pan Hu and Fourth Heaven. Do you want them?"

Xuan Wuji still believed that Mo Duona was speaking to him. However, Su Yu knew that this bastard was talking to him!

Bullshit!

Was this guy provoking him? Su Yu cursed and swore that he would hammer this bastard to death one day. It wasn't like Su Yu was afraid. Even with Mo Duona knowing his identity, he had still shown up. Pseudo Invincible? He was not a match for one. But he did not fear one.

With Xing Yue here, he could release the strength of a ninth-stage Sunmoon after opening his yang acupoint. With such strength and some other tricks, he could always escape if the opponent was too strong for him to defeat.

At worst, he would get Old Zhou's help and fuck them all up. What was there to fear? This was a gamble. If he won this bet, he would be able to collect all the young geniuses of the immortal race.

That would be a massive profit. Yes. He was planning to wipe them out. This had been his plan since he saw Xuan Wuji and Dao Cheng. He wanted to destroy a generation of immortals.

Xuan Wuji, Dao Cheng, and the others would enter his book. Mo Duona was facing the immortals, but his gaze was on Su Yu. Xuan Wuji was unqualified to receive his attention. Even if Xuan Wuji was a ninth-stage Mountainsea. Even if Mo Duona was only a first-stage Mountainsea. Xuan Wuji was still unqualified. For Mo Duona, even Dao Cheng was more worthy of attention than Xuan Wuji.

Mo Duona was quite impressed. He could see that Su Yu was intending to wipe all these people out.

How ambitious. How brazen.

Suddenly, Mo Duona roared with laughter. Such courage. Such madness. Only such a person could help him. Nobody else would dare to provoke the Devil Pseudo Emperor.

This was something even regular Invincibles would not have the courage to do. But Su Yu had the courage to do this. This was why Mo Duona wanted his help. He couldn't rely on anyone else. Only a fearless freak like Su Yu could be of help to him in this aspect.

Because Su Yu was a lunatic.
