Chapter 596: Chapter 459: The Second Piece of Iron Scrap (4th update)

The dignified middle-aged man was clearly cunning; seeing that Su Yu did not appear to fear him in the slightest, he suspected that Su Yu had a strong trump card hidden. Such occurrences were not rare in their current world, so he conditioned himself to smile at Su Yu, while unexpectedly seized the little girl, Feng’er, who was standing aside.

Although Su Yu and Lei Leian seemed to be merely Black Iron Warriors of the Seventh Order, no one knew their true depths. Feng’er, on the other hand, was different. A little girl of about four or five years old, couldn’t possibly be that formidable. Considering that they were together, the authoritative middle-aged man decided to take Feng’er by surprise and use her to threaten Su Yu and Lei Leian.

The middle-aged man’s calculations were undoubtedly shrewd, but what he did not expect was when he finished his sharp reprimand, the looks on Su Yu’s and Lei Leian’s faces were quite bizarre. Then, Su Yu couldn’t help it anymore, and finally burst out laughing.

Su Yu was aware of the middle-aged man’s plan, but the man would never guess that the most formidable amongst the three of them, was the little girl Feng’er whose throat he was holding.

This was an entity that even the Demon Divine Beast, the Green Giant Gods, were afraid of.

"Ha, hahaha..." Su Yu found it comically absurd and laughed heartily. The dignity of this middle-aged man was challenged repeatedly. Seeing a mocking implication in Su Yu’s laughter, the man could not hold back anymore, yelled sharply: "You little devil, do you really think I dare not hurt her?" He tightened his grip on Feng’er. Su Yu instantly yelled, "Little girl, leave him alive--" he didn’t finish the sentence "in one piece" because he was too late.

Almost at the very moment that the middle-aged man applied force, the latent power in the little girl sensed a crisis and awoken in a violent outburst.

"Whoo--" A terrifying demonic howl began. A massive demon shadow rushed out. The middle-aged man had barely comprehended the situation when he was instantly devoured by the demon shadow. With a "pouff" sound, he exploded into a mass of blood, getting all over the little girl.

"Master--" Wang Dun and Zhou Lin, on the side, turned pale with fright. Their master was none other than the City Lord of the magnificent Great Landlord City, an incredibly powerful being. Now...he was instantly torn apart by the demonic shadow that erupted from the little girl and exploded into a mass of bloody pulp. Not even a trace of him was left, which was a horrifying and shocking scene. They were so frightened that their faces turned white, almost not daring to believe their eyes.

When Su Yu and Lei Leian saw the authoritative middle-aged man being destroyed in a flash due to the little girl’s sudden outburst, they moved into action. Lei Leian threw out a screen scroll while Su Yu moved to the other side. Together, they prevented Wang Dun and Zhou Lin from escaping.

Wang Dun and Zhou Lin, two peak Seventh Order powerhouses, were trembling all over, paralyzed on the spot, their faces ashen.

Back then, after the trial ended, Su Yu challenged the authority of the Black Iron Guardian by summoning a Demon Divine Beast, which had already horrified them. Now, they were even more astounded that this little girl, who appeared to be only four or five years old, could annihilate their City Lord in an instant. Moreover, they were also confounded by the young girl who looked exactly like the Black Iron Guardian. Just who exactly was this man named Su Yu?

Suddenly, such a question arose in the minds of Wang Dun and Zhou Lin. Their gaze upon Su Yu was filled with fear of the unknown.

Su Yu knew that these two wouldn’t dare to escape, and moreover, Lei Leian had cast a screen scroll, rendering any Category 5 Lifeforms or other teleport scrolls they have ineffective in helping their escape.

Su Yu wore a faint smile on his face and asked, "He was the City Lord of the ’Great Landlord City’?" He pointed at the splash of blood that the middle-aged man had exploded into.

Wang Dun and Zhou Lin hurriedly nodded; Zhou Lin said in a dry voice, "Yes, he was Anhuan, the City Lord of the ’Great Landlord City’."

Su Yu nodded, guessing that the City Lord being reduced to a puddle of blood by the little girl would, of course, frighten Wang Dun and Zhou Lin into a lifeless palor. Su Yu then asked, "Why did you come here in the middle of the night?"

Wang Dun and Zhou Lin exchanged a glance, and fear flitted across their faces. They didn’t know the real purpose of this visit, but they knew if they said so, Su Yu would certainly not believe them.

Just as Wang Dun and Zhou Lin were laboring under their fear, Ada suddenly leapt from Su Yu’s shoulder into the pool of blood which was formerly the City Lord of the ’Great Landlord City.’ It rummaged through the mess with its tiny claws and quickly pulled out a ring.

"Who would’ve thought that even struck by her power, this ring remained undamaged. It must be a supreme Mystic Treasure Ring." Ada returned to Su Yu’s shoulder laughing and handed him the ring.

Su Yu took it. Clearly, the Great Landlord Lord, who had just died, had more than just this one ring among his treasures, but unfortunately, amidst the horrifying demonic shadow power from the little girl’s body, everything else was destroyed. Only this ring remained perfectly intact, indicating that this ring was extraordinary.

After taking the ring, Su Yu did not look at it closely, merely gave a faint smile and turned his gaze to Wang Dun and Zhou Lin, waiting for their responses.

Zhou Lin licked his lips before saying hesitantly, "If I were to say that we had no ideawhat the Lord of the Main City came here to the shrine for, would you believe me? In fact, we didn’t even know that there was a shrine here. We... we were completely in the dark about why we came here."

Su Yu gave a faint smile and responded, "Is that so? You don’t know anything?" He said, his face turning somewhat cold.

"No, no, it’s not that we know nothing..." Seeing Su Yu’s displeased expression, Wang Dun quickly interjected, "We really have no idea why the Lord of the Main City came here tonight, but based on my speculation, it should have something to do with the item I gifted him."

"Oh? What do you mean?" Su Yu frowned.

Wang Dun licked his lips and continued, "You should know about the last trial. Each of us victors received a reward. I received a black shard of unknown utility."

At Wang Dun’s words, the faces of Su Yu and Lei Leian on the sidelines changed slightly. However, neither of them intervened, only listening to Wang Dun’s explanation.

With a dejected face, Wang Dun went on, "Since I didn’t know the purpose of the shard, but thought that since it was a reward, it must have some special use that I had no use for....I thoughtlessly decided to give it to the City Lord."

"Unexpectedly, the City Lord seemed to have recognized it when he saw the shard. He asked me who else knew that I had acquired the shard. I mentioned Zhou Lin, and after a few days, he brought me and Zhou Lin to this ’Demonic Forest’. He had a map in his hand and seemed to be looking for something according to the map. We came here tonight, but we really didn’t know what he was looking for. We... we didn’t dare ask."

Su Yu slowly asked, "So, the shard you received is still in Anhuan’s hands?"

As Wang Dun hurriedly nodded in affirmation, Su Yu’s attention shifted to the ring he had just obtained. This ring had belonged to Anhuan, but since his demise, it was now ownerless. As soon as Su Yu activated his Perception Eye, he discovered that the ring, which Ada had deemed superb and had even remained undamaged in Feng’er’s terrifying power, was actually a "Storage ring".

A ring that could store items in a space within.

Su Yu quickly claimed ownership, slipping the tiny ring onto his left little finger. Focusing his thoughts on the ring, he was immediately able to sense a relatively large space inside it that was filled with numerous items. There were various kinds of clothes, food that could be preserved for a long time, scrolls, and other treasures for various purposes. But Su Yu quickly spotted something he was particularly interested in and took it out with a thought. Sure enough, it was another black shard that looked similar to the one he had, except the inscriptions on it seemed different.

Ada’s eyes instantly lit up. After just one glance, he could confirm that it was indeed another shard, similar to the one Su Yu had received. He couldn’t believe that there were two such shards among the rewards from the last trial. But what on earth were these shards for, and why did the Black Iron Guardian use them as rewards?

Ada pressed his chin in thought. After seeing the shard, Su Yu was certain Wang Dun wasn’t lying. Ada then chuckled, "Wang Dun, your City Lord came on this journey only bringing the two of you who knew about the existence of the shard. I think he may not have had good intentions. Maybe after he finds what he is looking for or you’re no longer useful, you’ll be disposed of. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have asked who else knew about the shard."

Ada’s words caused a dramatic change in Wang Dun and Zhou Lin’s complexion. Recalling the City Lord’s unusual attitude towards them over the past few days, they felt a chill run down their spines. Their faces turned ashen.

However, Su Yu calmly asked, "So, you really don’t know why Anhuan was searching for this shrine?"

Wang Dun nodded, "I’ve told you everything I know. As for the purpose of his search for the shrine, I could only guess that it might have something to do with this shard. But as to what the shard is, and what relationship it has with the shrine, we truly do not know." A level 7 peak expert was now so anxious his voice was shaking. (To be continued.
