1143: Premeditated Assassination

Premeditated Assassination

After instilling He Xianran with a streak of vitality, Su Yu said, "If my presumption is correct, you can last for seven more days with your condition. In seven days' time, you will die."

"I know. If I don't die, how will I be able to hide from Father and carry out our plan?" He Xianran said very leisurely.

The Acute Frigid Water in her body was indeed real. If she was only pretending to be poisoned by the Acute Frigid Water, how could she outsmart her father?

For the slim chance of destroying the deity, He Xianran was even willing to take such a huge risk!

"The problem is with you. I hope that you will keep your promise and bring me back to life," He Xianran said. Underneath her calm surface, there was deep shock and terror.

The only reason she had dared to swallow the Acute Frigid Water was that, even if she died eventually, she could be revived by Su Yu!

She did not believe it at first. Was there really such a power to reverse death in this world? It was unheard of even among the hundred deities. None of them were known for such an ability. Only when she witnessed with her very own eyes how Su Yu had revived a dead creature did she believe it was possible.

"Rest assured. Without you, I don't stand a great chance of success," Su Yu said.

Right at that moment, the messenger jade pendant on Su Yu's waist began vibrating, and hints of voices became audible.

After receiving the message, Su Yu's face grew slightly solemn.

"What happened?" He Xianran asked.

Su Yu shook his head and said, "Nothing to do with the plan. Some scoundrels are laying plans around my old mansion."

He Xianran was slightly relieved. She thought for a moment and said, "Never mind; no one would dare to attack the Crane Deity's family yet."

She did not want Su Yu to be in danger at this point in time.

"It is still a latent danger. Now is a critical period to execute the mission, so no untoward circumstances can be allowed to happen." Su Yu shook his head. His words implied that those people had to be eradicated.

He Xianran thought for a moment and then agreed strongly. She said, "Without the Divine Order, you can't maneuver the strong men of the Crane Deity's cavern world to protect you. I'll have Dulong and a group of our people tend to your arrangements and clear up the danger as soon as possible."

"You haven't offended anyone since you came to the Great Eastern Alliance. I suppose those people are just some stealthy looters. You don't have to take it to heart."

Su Yu nodded in gratitude.

But inwardly, he was shaking his head in disapproval. Stealthy looters? Not necessarily. He Xianran was being careless.

Before long, Dulong came forward with four strong men of Mortal Fairy Third State. They had been assigned to Su Yu by He Xianran.

Su Yu gave his instructions then and there.

Only then did Su Yu leave the Crane Deity's house unhurriedly and returned to his mansion.

Dulong led the four others to stand guard near Su Yu, never losing sight of him once.

Su Yu was brooding in the house. He could vaguely grasp the intention of the manipulator in the Book Deity's cavern now.

Their plan was to have Su Yu's Divine Order of the Crane Deity confiscated, and the same for the Jing Deity's Divine Order.

"Is it possible that someone has perceived the subtle balance in the relationship that I have with the two deities and so they purposely presented Bu Tieyi?" Su Yu contemplated with narrowed eyes.

He learned that the Book Deity had a treasure named the Book Deity's Treasury, an intelligence treasure that served to gather the information of the world and analyze causal relations.

Could it be that item?

"Why is someone from the Book Deity's cavern world directing their hostility towards me?" Su Yu wondered. He had no interaction with that world and had never even stepped foot in it. There shouldn't be any deep-seated hatred or enmity involved.

All of a sudden, Su Yu's heart skipped a beat. "Hold on, could the Book Deity's cavern world have discovered that I killed Law Enforcer Qin Kuo?"

Bu Tieyi, Qin Kuo and Meng Ke all belonged to the Book Deity's cavern world.

Then it could be explained.

Misfortunes never befell just once. It was massively challenging for him to gain a footing in the Great Eastern Alliance.

In that case, those few powerful ones who were coveting the mansion had most probably come from the Great Eastern Alliance.

As he thought things over, Su Yu retrieved a messenger jade pendant and delivered a message.

After that, Su Yu sat cross-legged on the floor, quietly training as if nothing had happened.

It had been some time since his breakthrough to Stage Two All Creations, and his foundation was rather stable now. Su Yu could attempt a breakthrough to Stage Three All Creations anytime soon.

While making steady progress in upgrading his cultivation, Su Yu did not abandon his training in various other areas.

Several months ago, he had attained the Upper-Tier Illusory Soul Realm of the Heaven's Son Gazing at Air Technique and could imitate any of the enemy's powers through the Soul Energy, including... the powers of the divine bloodline.

It was needless to state the advantage it could bring during battles.

After two months of peaceful training, he could use this ability even more effortlessly.

The mere Upper Tier had rendered him this powerful, so he was quite eager to find out what effects the Top Tier would bring him.

It occurred to Su Yu that he was in an urgent need of Soul Energy now. If his soul could achieve another substantial boost, he could certainly accomplish the Top Tier of the Illusory Soul Realm.

He had ordered his people to gather various methods and materials that could enhance Soul Energy from all over the world at all costs, in the hope that he could achieve the Top Tier of the Illusory Soul Realm as soon as possible.

However, the intelligence network that Su Yu had built still wasn't extensive enough, so he had to wait patiently.

Su Yu actually had his mind on another book of valuable techniques that he would like to attempt.

With a flip of his palm, he retrieved a battered secret scroll— the "Dragon Form Technique"!

It was the secret technique he obtained from the Second Deputy Region Master of the Heavenly Knife Region the other day. This technique served to transplant the body parts of the true dragon into the body, then activated them via secret methods, in order to acquire some of the true dragon's powers in a short period of time.

The magnificence of Qi Ming's transformation into dragon form that day was still fresh in Su Yu's mind.

The restrictions brought by the training conditions had meant that the technique was postponed until today.

Firstly, one was required to possess parts of the true dragon. The stronger the dragon's body that was transplanted, the more powerful one would be upon transformation!

Secondly, the trainee was required to own at least a primordial spirit, which was the All Creations cultivation.

Before achieving the All Creations cultivation, Su Yu could only bemoan his inadequacy even with the Real Spirit Dragon Vein in hand.

Now, not only had he acquired the All Creations Realm, but there were even nine Dragon Veins in his body. No, to be precise, there were ten Real Spirit Dragon Veins inside him. The final one had produced a streak of Divine Dragon Blood and was the most unique one.

The vein had been refined in Su Yu's body as well, but Su Yu had never activated it.

If he could activate the tenth Real Spirit Dragon Vein using the Dragon Form Technique, the power would probably be massively formidable.

Having spread the scroll, Su Yu commenced training immediately.

In the state of Time Acceleration, he took in ten lines at a single glance.

Outside the mansion.

"Wuchou, may we take action now? The cavern world of the devil race makes people uncomfortable." A youth dressed in a green scholar's garment with elegant manners had a light frown on his face.

Beside him were a man and a woman with the same clothing as him, gracefully brandishing their literary skills.2

Wuchou was the dark-faced elder under the young master of the Book Deity's cavern world. Due to his hideous appearance and dark complexion, he had been given the name Wuchou.

Wuchou sighed secretly. The Three Youths of the Bamboo Garden were the great helpers under the young master's command and would be honored the deity's servants in the days to come.

They were condescending and haughty with a pretentious character. All throughout the journey, Wuchou was exhausted after being tormented by this bunch of noble scholars.

The sooner they could get this over and done with, the earlier Wuchou could regain his freedom.

However, Wuchou had only gained the young master's trust by enduring battles and wars. In a deep voice, he said, "No! This person was found in the Crane Deity's family. Why did he return suddenly? I think he has sensed our presence!"

The man and the woman were busy painting and writing away. Without lifting their heads, they nonchalantly said, "Of course he knows about our presence. So what?"

"He would never have expected that in order to seize him alive, the young master has sent four Peak Mortal Fairies just to be on the safe side. It's apparent from the way he brought out the four servants so recklessly."

The woman had an attractive face and an indifferent expression. "Wuchou, I'm not comfortable in this place either. The air of our Book Deity's cavern world is the most rejuvenating of all, but the faster we capture him, the faster we can get out of here."

Having been hastened by the Three Youths of the Bamboo Garden, Wuchou was rather helpless. But they had a point. The opponent might have been reckless.

"Strike!" Wuchou made up his mind.

The four of them entered the house soundlessly like phantoms.

The Third State Mortal Fairies standing guard at the four corners outside Su Yu's house had not noticed the enemies approaching at all.

Only Dulong had. His face changed drastically. He yelled, "Who's there? How dare you run riot in the Crane Deity's cavern world?"

Without another word, Dulong punched his fist in a particular direction towards the Void.

In a split second, the space shattered. A dark-faced, ugly-looking elder walked out leisurely from the Void.

Dulong was stupefied, but he recognized the person right away. "Wuchou!" he exclaimed.

The Great Eastern Alliance was vast, but there were only a handful of famous powerful figures.

Among Peak Mortal Fairies, Wuchou was popular. He was ranked around thousandth in the list of Peak Mortal Fairies who were somewhat on a par with him.

Wuchou raised his guards secretly as well. He sensed that a Peak Mortal Fairy had come to safeguard Su Yu but hadn't expected it to be Dulong, a famous powerful individual who was no weaker than himself.

"The Book Deity's cavern world, great! Not only did you secretly harm our Lady, but now you're here to wreak havoc!" Despite his vicious character, Dulong was loyal to the Crane Deity's family.

Wuchou took a glance at the interior of the house and chuckled. "Dulong, we're not planning to kill anyone during this trip, I hope you show me due respect and let me take this man!"

Dulong sneered. Even without the Lady's order, he would never be able to stand by idly and watch as Wuchou captured someone right before his eyes.

Pow!

Without another word, Dulong opened his mouth and spat a mouthful of poisonous mist that surged turbulently in his surroundings.

Shortly after, the poisonous mist condensed into a talisman which surpassed the Void directly and seared itself on Wuchou's body.

How could Wuchou be careless? Bu Tieyi had nearly died at the hands of this man.

Dodging the attack with teleportation, he presented a shield with a surface as smooth as jade, which was crafted from deity's bones.

The two of them jumped into a duel instantly, launching blows and attacks against each other. Both of them were relentless.

After a while, Dulong realized that something wasn't right. Wuchou was focused on defense but not attack. It was like he was in no hurry.

He was in the Crane Deity's cavern world. If the fight wasn't ended quickly, Wuchou wouldn't be able to escape once the auxiliary troops of the Crane Deity's cavern world arrived.

There must be some kind of intrigue if Wuchou was acting that way.

All of a sudden, Dulong's face changed theatrically as he yelled in a strident voice, "The four of you watch out! There are other experts!"

However, before he could finish, three furious yells boomed in unison from the surroundings of the house. It was closely followed by an intense fight, and before long the souls of three Third State Mortal Fairies escaped one after another.

One of them was extinguished by a hand in the midst of running and died completely.

Dulong was enraged. He turned in an attempt to provide aid. But Wuchou had switched his strategy and was tangled up with Dulong. "Hehe, why are you in such a hurry?"

"Get lost!" Dulong was extremely furious. He was stunned. Why on earth was the Book Deity's cavern world so hostile to Su Yu that they had dispatched four Peak Mortal Fairies for this raid!
