Chapter 583: Chapter 449: The World Above_2

Yano sighed, "Your friend was chosen, she is so lucky and fortunate, the world beyond the Black Iron World... ah..." Yano suddenly became despondent again, slowly turned, as though ready to leave.

Zhang Zhongmou murmured, "Is there really such a world? Even the air contains evolutionary energy? Merely taking a breath can cause evolution? This is too exaggerated, isn’t it?"

However, Su Yu couldn’t help but recall the words spoken by the gold-eagle-headed man to him. He had once said that he welcomed him to his world. Could the upper realm or heaven realm filled with all kinds of wonders above the Black Iron World, as Yano had described, be the world where the gold-eagle-headed man lived?

Qin Jiagui muttered, "The world above... a prison... Ni Ping, you must wait for me, I... I will break out soon, I will... I will find you!" He clenched his fists tightly and a faint, fiery red mark appeared in the middle of his forehead.

Just as Yano sighed, ready to leave, he suddenly remembered something. Turning back to Su Yu, he said, "Young man, can you summon a Demon Divine Beast?"

Remembering that many people had seen it at that time and seeing no point in keeping it secret, Su Yu nodded his head in confirmation.

With a faint smile, Yano said, "To be able to summon a Demon Divine Beast... A city lord... and so young. Such a coincidence... hmm, what a coincidence..."

"Old senior, what’s wrong?" Su Yu asked, somewhat bewildered.

Shaking his head, Yano said, "No, it’s nothing. It’s just that you’ve surprised me. Considering your affront to the Black Iron Guardian, it’s very strange that she didn’t kill you instantly. It’s very, very strange. Young man, your name is Su Yu, right? I will remember this name."

Yano, with a faint smile, finally drifted away, vanishing before everyone’s eyes.

"He’s quite a peculiar old man," Zhang Zhongmou couldn’t help but say.

However, Su Yu slightly furrowed his brow. In the final moment, he vaguely felt that Yano seemed to want to say something to him. Yet, it seemed he had ultimately changed his mind and therefore said nothing before leaving. Could it have something to do with his ability to summon the Demon Divine Beast?

"Let’s go back, too." Su Yu let out a soft sigh. Although everyone had received rewards from this trial and Qin Jiagui and others had successfully advanced, Su Yu didn’t feel the slightest bit of excitement. That was because the loss this time was far greater. Not to mention the deaths of Murong Dingyuan, Zhang Chen, and others, just he and Qin Jiagui had suffered the punishment of the Black Iron Guardian, experiencing piercing heart pain akin to being shot by a thousand arrows, and the torture of a thousand cuts every day, a suffering even worse than the side effects caused by activating the "Dark Heart".

The group left the now empty "Trial Temple" behind and followed the same route back. Ada and Ouyang Nuo’s Category 5 Lifeforms turned gigantic, carrying everyone and began sprinting towards the entrance to the third level of the Golden Elemental Space.

Eventually reaching the first level of the Golden Elemental Space, Ada then summoned the teleportation power from "Heavenly Pit", with the rise of a bright light, everyone disappeared from the first level of the Golden Elemental Space, returning to the "Black Iron City".

Back in the "Black Iron City", everyone was somewhat dazed. The dangers they faced in the seven-day trial were unquestionably deadly. Now, having safely returned to "Black Iron City" once again, they couldn’t help but feel an unspeakable sense of intimacy. Being alive felt really good.

The first thing the women did upon their return was to bathe and change their clothes. They had friendly relations with Yuan Niping, but listening to Yano, Niping, having taken the Silver Train to the mysterious "Upper Realm", should be fine. So, everyone’s worries for Yuan Niping lightened a bit. Only Qin Jiagui, upon returning, locked himself in his room and refused to come out, leaving everyone guessing what he was doing.

Ruan Minghong was deeply in love with Murong Dingyuan. Murong Dingyuan’s death in the trial dealt her a severe blow, no lighter than Qin Jiagui’s. She became distracted and somewhat melancholic.

After taking a bath and changing into clean clothes with Ada, Su Yu sat with a furrowed brow. The punishment meted out to him and Qin Jiagui by the Black Iron Guardian, Beth Finley, was giving him a big headache. The pain was too severe; he couldn’t bear it and had even fainted. He dared not try it for a second time.

"Ada, is there really no way around it? The Black Iron Guardian said that unless we cross this world, there’s no way to undo what she did to me and Qin Jiagui." Su Yu thought for a long time before sighing and asking Ada for advice.

Ada also had a similar expression, furrowed brows, deep in thought. His small claws were stroking his chin, musing, "The Black Iron Guardian... The power she possesses... It’s of the same nature as the Power of Rules. The prohibitions she set up against you all must also have something to do with the Power of Rules... To break such prohibitions, it naturally takes the Power of Rules... Power of Rules..."

As he said this, Ada was stroking his chin, deep in thought, when suddenly there was activity from the city lord seal that had been quiet for a long time.

Su Yu looked surprised and took out the city lord seal. He then saw a faint white light rising, and very soon, the image of Lei Leian, who hadn’t been seen for a few days, appeared in front of them.

"Su Yu, I haven’t been able to contact you for a few days. Have you been selected to participate in the trials?" Lei Leian had tried to find him through the city lord seal over the past few days, but couldn’t reach him. Combined with the fact that it was the day of the monthly trials, she guessed that Su Yu might have been chosen for the trials.

"Yes," Su Yu nodded, a bitter smile on his face.

"You’re alive, which means you’re successful in the trials. There must have been generous rewards, right?" Lei Leian wore a smile upon seeing that Su Yu had returned unscathed.

Su Yu, looking at her face which was almost identical to the Black Iron Guardian’s, couldn’t help but think of the cold-hearted Beth Finley, and the punishment she had inflicted on him and Qin Jiagui. This thought put him in a rather gloomy mood.

"Lei Leian, did you need me for something?" Su Yu asked, his tone somewhat stiff due to his mood.

A strange expression crossed Lei Leian’s face as she suddenly asked, "Su Yu, you seem to dislike seeing me, don’t you?"

Surprised, Su Yu shook his head, "No, Lei Leian, it’s just that... some unpleasant things happened during the trial. It’s not that I don’t want to see you, I’m sorry for my earlier unbecoming behavior."

When Lei Leian heard Su Yu’s words, a worried expression crossed her face. "What happened? Did something happen to your friends who participated in the trial with you?"

A bitter smile alighted Su Yu’s face as Lei Leian used the word "again", obviously referring to the issue with Yuan Niping.

"Sort of, even I, myself, am inflicted." Su Yu made no attempt to hide what had occurred, simply explaining how Yuan Niping had gotten a ticket, the rebellion he and Qin Jiagui initiated, and the subsequent punishment from the Black Iron Guardian.

Although he hadn’t known Lei Leian for long, and in fact had little more than a passing acquaintance with her, his openness surprised him. He found himself talking easily with her, as if she were an old confidant. He didn’t understand why he had such total trust in her.

Upon hearing this, Lei Leian was taken aback. "Is Beth Finley, the Black Iron Guardian you’re talking about the same person you asked me about previously? I have been puzzled ever since, wondering why you thought I might know her?"

Su Yu replied, "You might find it difficult to believe, but you and she... look strikingly similar."

"What?" Lei Leian was momentarily stunned and speechless. (To be continued... If you want to know what happens next, please visit www.qidian.com. More Chapters, support the author, support legal reading!)
