Chapter 524: Chapter 405: Tide of Beasts (1st update)

"Su Yu..." Everyone watched as Su Yu disappeared, a look of concern on each of their faces. This time Su Yu left with a sense of finality. What had happened? What could weigh so heavily on Su Yu who had reached the Seventh-Order City Lord Level, possessed a Demon Divine Beast and ruled over "Black Iron City"?

What on earth had happened?

Zhang Zhongmou suddenly slammed his fist into the ground, muttering, "Su Yu must have encountered a huge problem. But we are too weak, unable to help him. He probably sent us here to hide to avoid implicating us. Damn it, it all boils down to us being too weak. We can’t help him."

Everyone fell silent, their hearts heavy. It was already quite clear why Su Yu had sent them here. Obviously, their adversary this time must be incredibly formidable. They couldn’t assist, and he couldn’t protect himself either. Otherwise, why would he send them here for refuge?

Ma Ziye bit her lip tightly, a mist slowly rising in her beautiful eyes. Her heart ached. She had always wanted to keep up with Su Yu, to help share his burdens. But the gap between her and Su Yu was widening. Not only was she of no help to him anymore, but she could only hide here when she knew he was in danger, merely watching and waiting, lacking any ability to help him.

"Su Yu... I’m sorry... I... I haven’t... not even once, been able to help you... to shoulder a little for you... I... am growing more and more distant from you... further and further..." Ma Ziye muttered silently, tears welling in her eyes. She gradually felt that Su Yu was getting further away from her, that she might never get close to him again in this lifetime. Did she still have the capacity or the right... to like him?

After sending Zhang Zhongmou and Su Yun into the Water Elemental Space, Su Yu felt somewhat at ease. Even if the people from "Black and White City" came to attack "Black Iron City", finding Zhang Zhongmou and the others in the Water Elemental Space would not be easy. Then he began to prepare to head to "Black and White City".

"Su Yu, are we the only ones going?" Ada asked.

"Yes." Su Yu packed up simply, placed the "Netherworld Skull" in his bag, and took some scrolls he found in the secret treasury of "Black Iron City". Ada, however, shook his head and said, "I think we can take Lei Leian with us."

Su Yu was slightly taken aback as he looked at Ada.

Ada mused, "Although Lei Leian believes she has no connection with the ’Black Iron Guardian’, I still have a lingering sense that there is some connection between her and it. She might come in use in critical moments. Moreover, there’s also Diudi. Don’t forget Diudi has the ’Destruction Horn’ within him. We must make some preparations and take into account all possible scenarios."

Su Yu nodded lightly, then found Lei Leian. Of course, he couldn’t tell her about the "Netherworld Skull" and the "Skeleton Ice City". He just said he planned to sneak into "Black and White City" with her, summon the Demon Divine Beast "Blue Giant God" inside the city, and catch the enemy off guard to reduce their strength.

Lei Leian, who loved excitement, immediately agreed when she heard Su Yu’s plan. She thought it was a good idea. This bold and fearless approach was very much suited to her personality. If it was a matter of courage, probably no one in this Black Iron World could surpass Lei Leian. This was a trait she had developed from childhood, since everyone had indulged her and let her have her way. Was there anything in the world that she didn’t dare to do? So, even though sneaking into "Black and White City" was extremely dangerous, Lei Leian not only did not feel fear but instead felt excitement and thrill.

Although Lei Leian had a scroll that could teleport straight to "Black and White City", the moment they teleported in, they would be detected by the people of "Black and White City". Using the teleportation scroll wasn’t what Su Yu wanted.

"Lei Leian, I want to creep in quietly. Do you have any good ideas? Ideally, we could mask our breath. I think I have the ’Dark Heart’ within me. If I get too close to ’Black and White City’, I might be sensed by them."

Lei Leian smiled confidently and said, "Leave this to me." She then showed a delicate bracelet on her right wrist. A gentle swipe of the bracelet revealed several charms. "Put these on, and all auras will be shielded, unless the opponent is a deity."

Su Yu looked at the bracelet in Lei Leian’s hand, taking a sharp intake of breath. It was clear that it must be the legendary bracelet that could store items – one that could open a unique miniature different space. According to Ada, these bracelets were the rarest items in this world. Even the lords of major cities hardly owned them. Yet, Lei Leian possessed this kind of rare item.

Su Yu became even more curious about Lei Leian’s background. After all, she called the white-haired elder of the previous "Sky Main City" her great-grandfather. And if he was the great-grandfather, it meant that her family might have other powerful figures.

Su Yu had a hunch that Lei Leian’s background might be complex. Although she didn’t bring any help this time, she did inform Su Yu that ’The Sky Main City’ was already recovered by her family. Anoka and others returned to the ’Black and White City’. Exactly because of this news, Su Yu had contrived his current plan. If the enemy was still in ’Sky Main City’, things could get more complicated.

Su Yu and Ada both had the pendant that summoned Duoduo. They put it on Duoduo too, who was panting hard. Ada also communicated their plan to head to ’Black and White City’ to Duoduo, who nodded in agreement. All he wanted was to stay by Ada’s side, the destination didn’t matter to him.

Then, Su Yu found Jiang Hai and Jin Fuhua, briefed them about ’Black Iron City’ and asked them to stay alert. He then procured some medicine from Bu Penglai that could temporarily alter their appearances. Utilizing the memories from the day spent in the ’Heavenly Pit Forest’, he tailored a few sets of half-black, half-white clothes. Once everything was prepared, he left ’Black Iron City’ with Lei Leian and Duoduo.

Upon exiting ’Black Iron City’, Ada began to expand, providing a mount for Su Yu, Lei Leian, and herself, and they all started their journey quickly.

Speaking of this, Su Yu had never seen Lei Leian with a Category 5 lifeform, but he could sense that she was a Companion Master. He just didn’t know who her Companion Master of the Category 5 lifeform was.

Su Yu naturally didn’t dare probe too much into this matter, and Lei Leian didn’t reveal anything either. The ’Demon Beast Mountain Range’ stretched for tens of thousands of miles. To reach ’Black and White City’ from ’Black Iron City’, it would take quite some time. However, Ada’s speed was incredible. They traveled nonstop day and night, and after three days they finally caught sight of the endless ’Sky Zither Sea’.

On the way, Su Yu witnessed a terrifying beast tide. All the monsters in the ’Demon Beast Mountain Range’ seemed to have gone berserk, advancing ferociously westward along the mountain range. Village after village were destroyed, countless people were killed. The more horrifying the beast tide, the bigger the smile on Su Yu’s face.

Being able to manipulate such a dreadful beast tide could only suggest that the power awakening within the ’Skeleton Ice City’ was immensely strong. The stronger ’Skeleton Ice City’ was, the more useful it was to Su Yu at present. He wasn’t afraid of the ’Skeleton Ice City’ being strong, he was afraid they weren’t strong enough.

However, seeing the ’Skeleton Ice City’ had a divine object like the ’Netherworld Skull’, Su Yu had a hunch that the origin of the ’Skeleton Ice City’ was most likely very mysterious.

"This time, I just hope nothing goes wrong. This is the best plan I can think of," as they reached the border of the ’Sky Zither Sea’, Ada shrank back down. Su Yu picked her up. She had spent all her strength after three days and nights of non-stop travel and was incredibly tired.

On reaching the ’Sky Zither Sea’, they saw a towering ’Steel Giant City’ standing over a hundred meters high in the middle of the sea. From a distance, it looked far more imposing than ’Black Iron City’.

Several ships of different sizes and styles were constantly navigating near the ’Steel Giant City’.

Looking at the ’Steel Giant City’ from afar, Su Yu was pondering the best way to sneak in undetected. They all had pendants that could conceal their aura, so they didn’t have to worry about being discovered by that little girl’s ’Sealing Eye’. Furthermore, he’d prepared medicine and clothes to temporarily alter their appearances, and could even disguise as a Black and White Warrior. But the ’Steel Giant City’ was rather far from here, so how would they get close?

After some thought, Su Yu said, "Lei Leian, how about we find a town first, then try to get a boat, and hopefully we could blend in without causing any commotion?" As he was saying this, he thought of the chubby boy from ’Hailou Town’.

He had met a Sixth-Order Powerhouse named Tong Haitao from ’Hailou Town’ in the Fire Elemental Space. Being a Sixth-Order Powerhouse, Tong Haitao must have a high status in the town. He might even be the leader of ’Hailou Town’. So, getting a boat from him should be possible.

It was said that ’Hailou Town’ was situated by the ’Sky Zither Sea’.

Lei Leian asked with confusion, "Why go through all the trouble? Why don’t we just break in? You can summon the Demon Divine Beast, and we can destroy the ’Black and White City’. Even if we sneak in, once you summon the Demon Divine Beast, they will discover us anyway, right?"

Su Yu smiled and said, "I have a better plan. Summoning the Demon Divine Beast is only the second step. The first step... if we alarm them, we might expose ourselves. The most important thing for us now is to sneak into the city without alerting Anoka and his people."
