Chapter 595: Chapter 458: The Mystery of the Black Iron Fragment_2

Besides the giant raptor, three people had just jumped down from its back. Among them was a dignified middle-aged man who appeared to be around forty with a cloak of black draped over him. His face was filled with authority, indicating a man accustomed to being in high places. On his left and right were men in their thirties.

These men laid their eyes on Su Yu and Lei Leian, they all gave a slight gasp and had a peculiar expression. Many who had undergone trials would display such an expression upon their first meeting with Lei Leian. Lei Leian was used to this and didn’t mind much. Then the three men’s gaze fell on Su Yu and out of them, two gave a slight gasp, feeling the same surprise. Only the man in the middle, the authoritative figure, remained silent.

Su Yu lifted his head, observing these three men. He understood why those men on the left and right would be astonished to see him as they had already met before.

The men on the left and right were none other than Wang Dun and Zhou Lin, whom he had met during his last trial.

Wang Dun and Zhou Lin, along with another person named Li Jialun, were from the "Great Landlord City." During the time when they intended to demolish the ten metal gates, Li Jialun led Wang Dun and Zhou Lin as the initial attackers. But screwing up, Li Jialun lost his life. Wang Dun and Zhou Lin managed to survive unharmed and successfully transit through that trial. It was unexpected for Su Yu to bump into them tonight, in this "Demonic Forest." But then, who could the middle aged men be?

Su Yu still remembers Wang Dun and Zhou Lin being Level 7 peak experts. But this authoritative man standing in the middle exuded an inscrutable heavy pressure. Could he be...?

Before Su Yu could finish that thought, this dignified middle-aged man in the center had already taken a step forward with a focused gaze, staring at Lei Leian and Su Yu, thinking how these young ones were holding each other in the wilderness, breaking the conventions and traditional norms. If he and his comrades had been even a moment late, he feared that they may have walked into an explicit scene.

"Was this your doing?" This middle-aged man’s face held an expression of authority. There was a sense of superiority in his words. He pointed towards a shrine.

The vines that originally shrouded the shrine were all destroyed; the marks were still fresh. Seeing Su Yu and Lei Lein standing aside, it wasn’t hard to suspect them.

This middle-aged man had the skill of the "Perception Eye" on his hand’s back. He had subtly discovered that Su Yu and Lei Leian were both seventh order Black Iron Warriors, while the little girl, Feng’er, was utterly disregarded by him. He did not think highly of two seventh order Black Iron Warriors and hence did not see the need to show manners. So his tone carried a hint of interrogation, as if Su Yu and Lei Leian were his subordinates.

Meanwhile, Zhou Lin and Wang Dun were breaking into a cold sweat. Lei Leian’s resemblance to the Black Iron Guardian had already left them exceedingly astonished. They had clearly seen Su Yu summoning the Demon Divine Beast to oppose the Black Iron Guardian, and they were terrified of him. Seeing the dignified middle-aged man confronting Su Yu and Lei Leian, they felt something was off. But being of low status, they dare not to interrupt, breaking into cold sweats instead.

"Who are you?" Lei Leian was somewhat disgruntled seeing this old man arrived in an authoritative manner. She thought, in this world, not many would dare to question her like this.

Seeing Lei Leian retort instead, the dignified middle-aged man slightly frowned. Extending his hand, he created an illusionary push on the broken wall, causing it to suddenly disintegrate.

With a "whoosh," the broken wall turned to dust without any energy fluctuation. A gust of wind blew up a large amount of powdered dust.

This display of ability would leave an average seventh stage expert dumbfounded. It was easy to smash a stone wall, but to make it disintegrate with an illusionary strike was beyond challenging. Even if someone could do it, to pulverize it into dust was an astonishing talent. Perhaps even a Level 7 peak expert like Su Yu wouldn’t be able to achieve this feat.

With just this demonstration, it was proof of the middle-aged man’s strength, which was definitely beyond the Level 7 peak.

After revealing his hand, the majestic middle-aged man calmly crossed his arms in front of his chest and said, "Can we talk now?" In his eyes, this man and woman were only at the Seventh Stage; once they witnessed his strength, they should understand that they couldn’t resist him.

Unfortunately, the middle-aged man had miscalculated. Although he had surpassed the Seventh Stage, to Lei Leian, such figures were all too common. Besides, Su Yu had the Demon Divine Beast on his side. What could a beyond-Seventh Stage expert do, and could they withstand a strike from the Demon Divine Beast?

Just as Lei Leian was about to speak, Su Yu suddenly said, "Indeed, we are the ones who destroyed this place." Then, he slowly let go of Lei Leian. His pain had finally ebbed away. Although his body was weak, he managed to slowly stand up.

Hearing Su Yu’s response, the middle-aged man furrowed his brows and asked slowly, "Do you know the origin of this shrine?"

Su Yu realized that the middle-aged man was trying to get information out of him. The reason why he had answered earlier was that he, too, hoped to extract information from this middle-aged man.

The man had come here in the dead of night with the shrine as his apparent target. This suggested that the middle-aged man should know some secrets about the shrine. Combined with what Ada had said about the shrine earlier today, this piqued Su Yu’s curiosity.

With a faint smile, Su Yu calmly asked, "Why have you come here?"

Seeing that Su Yu avoided answering by posing a question instead, the middle-aged man’s hands, which were crossed behind his back, unconsciously tightened into fists. A hint of surprise rose in his heart.

He was a man of high status and no fool. He found Su Yu’s reaction strange. Normally, after displaying his beyond-Seventh Stage power, the other party should understand how powerful he was. Why would this young man dare to speak to him in such a manner, and without showing even a hint of fear or retreat on his face?

Could it be that this young man had something to rely on, and that was why he dared to speak to him in such a way?

"Young man, what is your name?" The middle-aged man quickly released his fists, smiled faintly, showing his teeth, and his expression greatly softened.

Originally, Su Yu had intentionally provoked this middle-aged man in hopes that he would attack. Su Yu was ready to summon the Giant Gods with one blow while questioning the man’s intentions. He didn’t expect the middle-aged man’s attitude to suddenly soften, which was quite unexpected.

"I’m just a nobody, my name isn’t worth mentioning." Su Yu laughed and simply said, "You must be here to find something in this shrine, right? Go ahead, don’t mind us."

The middle-aged man gave him a deep look, slowly nodded, and turned his head towards the ruins of the shrine. At this point, his figure suddenly flickered with unimaginable speed. He crossed ten meters in an instant, grabbing the little girl, Feng’er.

All this happened in the blink of an eye. Even Su Yu could hardly react in time. He then saw the middle-aged man grab Feng’er’s throat with a stern expression on his face, revealing a hint of a smile as he suddenly raised his voice, "If you want her to live, be honest and tell me why you destroyed this shrine. What have you been searching for within, and what did you find?"

Su Yu and Lei Leian glanced at each other, and then Su Yu suddenly burst out laughing. (To be continued. To find out what happens next, please visit www.qidian.com. More Chapters are available there. Support the author and support legal reading!)
