Chapter 597: Chapter 460: Imperial Coffin (5th update)

Su Yu nodded slightly, not wanting to question further, but in his mind, he was somewhat torn over how to handle Wang Dun and Zhou Lin who stood right before him.

Anhuan was the City Lord of the "Great Landlord City", which meant that he likely had the power of one of the "Ten Great Giant Cities" behind him. Although Anhuan was killed by the little girl Feng’er tonight, if word gets out, the blame would land on him, Su Yu, and "Black Iron City". If he let Wang Dun and Zhou Lin go tonight, the severe consequences could be easily imagined.

Although Su Yu, who possessed the Demon Divine Beast, might not necessarily be afraid, no one would wish to antagonize one of the great cities.

The Ten Great Giant Cities, ruling over the entire "Black Iron World", were not empty in reputation, it was the same even if Su Yu had the Demon Divine Beast.

Witnessing Su Yu’s silence, Wang Dun and Zhou Lin were no fools. They knew what he was thinking. This area was now shielded by the Scroll and other forms of teleportation were ineffective. If they chose to escape, they wouldn’t dodge Su Yu’s attack of the Demon Divine Beast. In fear, Wang Dun suddenly offered, "Since we ventured out with the City Lord this time, who is now dead, we also face death if we go back. ’The Great Landlord City’ will no longer provide us a place to live. If you don’t distrust us, we are willing to follow you."

Su Yu sighed a bit and said, "The disappearance of the City Lord of the ’Great Landlord City’ would inevitably cause a sensation. If they were to see you suddenly appearing around me during their investigation, don’t you think I would also get involved?"

As soon as Su Yu’s words dropped, Wang Dun and Zhou Lin suddenly roared and pounced at Su Yu.

They knew whether they would survive the night rested on this attempt. In fact, when they mentioned following Su Yu earlier, they were merely stalling for time, waiting until the shielding Scroll ceased to take effect, allowing them to escape using a teleportation scroll.

The horrifying force behind the "Great Landlord City" was not something Su Yu could resist, as Zhou Lin and Wang Dun knew it. They couldn’t possibly follow Su Yu genuinely, it would be suicidal, especially since they both had their families in "Great Landlord City" and wouldn’t betray their city.

Because of the small girl’s terrifying power and Lei Leian looking very much like the Black Iron Guardian, both Wang Dun and Zhou Lin perceived Su Yu as the easiest to target among the three. At least they knew Su Yu’s depth and jointly wanted to strike before he could summon the Demon Divine Beast. If they could stop Su Yu in one hit, then they had a chance of surviving.

The three powerhouses instantly collided. Wang Dun and Zhou Lin’s actions was anticipated by Su Yu. Lei Leian observed Su Yu becoming a Black-Scaled Lizard. His right hand, equipped with the Golden Claw, shredded Zhou Lin’s impending Black Iron Round Wheel, causing Zhou Lin to vomit blood as he rolled back, while Wang Dun’s attack landed entirely on Su Yu’s back.

His dark scales shattered, Su Yu used his left hand to pull away Wang Dun’s palm from his back, hurling him away.

Boom! Wang Dun’s body slammed into a large tree, rebounding back, while Su Yu groaned. Upon this instant exchange, he managed to suppress the two at Level 7 peak, however, he too inevitably endured a hit. If he were not at full power, he wouldn’t have an overwhelming advantage over a Level 7 peak powerhouse.

Wang Dun and Zhou Lin quickly rolled back up after falling and began to escape in different directions without speaking a word.

As long as they escape the area shielded by the Scroll, they could use the teleportation scroll to return to the "Great Landlord City". Once they reported that Su Yu and others killed the City Lord, they could anticipate a bloody retribution awaiting Su Yu.

Seeing the two escape in different directions, Su Yu immediately raised his right hand and without hesitation, summoned the Demon Divine Beast.

With his speed, he could easily intercept one person, but the other would indeed escape. At this point, he could only summon the Giant Gods.

The terrifying roar resounded. The two giant hands fell from the sky, with two thunderous crashes, Zhou Lin and Wang Dun let out desperate cries, seeing the giant hands descending from the sky with almost no room for resistance, and were instantly smashed into pulp.

Su Yu sighed again, he had no grudges with Wang Dun and Zhou Lin. But self-preservation was involuntarily necessary, hence he had to kill these two.

The Giant Gods only showed these two hands, annihilated the two, and then gradually disappeared into the sky. Lei Leian looked up somewhat enviously and said, "This Demon Divine Beast is really convenient, it seems I also need to get one."

Su Yu shook his head and said, "After getting the Demon Divine Beast, one loses the pressure to survive. When in danger, dependence increases, which is harmful for those who wish to evolve."

Lei Leian chuckled, and retorted, "So, why do you still use your Demon Divine Beast every day?"

Su Yu smiled, "What I said was for someone like you with such poor self-control. I can handle it, so there’s no problem."

"Whatever." Lei Leian rolled her eyes at him.

With the death of Anhuan, the City Lord of the "Great Landlord City", and his companions Zhou Lin and Wang Dun, a weight lifted off Su Yu’s chest. There were no signs of others in this "Demonic Forest". It was pitch dark. Even if the people of the "Great Landlord City" learned of the City Lord’s death, tracing it back to him and his group would be nearly impossible. At this moment, the little girl Feng’er, who had been silent until now, suddenly said, "The big bird ran away."

"Huh?" Su Yu was taken aback, quickly looking around, he found the surroundings desolate. Only then did he remember that a giant bird had accompanied the trio. The bird had brought them here and was quietly standing aside, its wings folded, engulfed in darkness. In the steam of events that transpired, Su Yu and Lei Leian only paid attention to the City Lord and Zhou Lin, unintentionally disregarding the giant bird. Upon being prompted by Feng’er, they became aware that the cunning bird had slipped away unnoticed.

"I recognize that bird; it’s a level 8 beast that can be tamed, known as the Dragon Eagle. It’s somewhat similar to the Black Dragon Horse. It doesn’t matter if it escaped, it might not even be able to leave this Demonic Forest as it can’t talk. And with the City Lord dead," Lei Leian chuckled lightly.

Su Yu nodded, thinking about the eerie nature of the "Demonic Forest". That really seems to be the case, so he relaxed his guard.

After dealing with the threesome, Su Yu looked at the pool of blood that belonged to Anhuan, the City Lord of the Great Landlord City, and sighed, "Anhuan must have known some secrets about this Shrine, unfortunately..." He thought about the little girl Feng’er. Despite her terrifying power, she seemed unable to control it, which was indeed a problem.

Ada took from Su Yu the newly acquired fragment of black iron from Anhuan’s storage ring, and then Ada raised the fragment of black iron that Su Yu had received as a reward.

Ada compared the two fragments of black iron. Though their shapes differed and the inscriptions on them were different, it was apparent that these two fragments of black iron belonged to the same category of objects.

Looking at the black iron fragments, Ada fell into deep thought.

Su Yu was rummaging through the storage ring that originally belonged to Anhuan, the City Lord of the "Great Landlord City". In no time, he took out a piece of parchment. Wang Dun once mentioned that Anhuan had been consulting a parchment recently, as if searching for something. Remembering this made Su Yu hastily pull it out.

As Su Yu pulled out this ancient-looking parchment made of animal hide, he couldn’t help but inhale sharply.

The parchment was filled with inscription-like writing, which Su Yu recognized. It was just like the inscriptions they had found on the fragment of a stone tablet in the ruins of the shrine. Although Su Yu didn’t understand the characters, he could tell they were the same.

Aside from the inscriptions, there were also intricate drawings on it. Since Su Yu didn’t understand the inscriptions, he didn’t know what the drawings represented. Ada leaned in to take a look, and then exclaimed, "Imperial Coffin?"

Su Yu was startled and looked at Ada, who had already taken the parchment excitedly. Lei Leian, who was standing to one side, also curiously came over and asked, "Imperial Coffin? What Imperial Coffin?"

The look on Ada’s face was extremely serious as she looked at the parchment and muttered, "Just look at these words; this is a map leading to where the Imperial Coffin is buried. As it turns out, these fragments are the keys to opening the Imperial Coffin."

Su Yu raised his eyebrows, "Ada, can you explain in more detail? The burial location of the Imperial Coffin? And what exactly is the Imperial Coffin?"

Ada replied, "It doesn’t say in detail here, only that the one who opens the Imperial Coffin will gain the power to rule the world. These fragments are the keys to open it, and there are six in total. So that’s how it is..." After taking a deep breath, Ada looked at Su Yu and Lei Leian and slowly said, "According to what the parchment says, the Imperial Coffin is buried right beneath the ruins of this shrine. That’s why Anhuan from the ’Great Landlord City’ came here."

The news was met with a gasp from Su Yu and Lei Leian. Before Su Yu could speak, Lei Leian burst into an excited laughter, "Ada, since it says in the parchment that the Imperial Coffin is buried under this Shrine, let’s dig it out and take a look. I’m not interested in ruling the world, but... it sounds like fun, doesn’t it?"

Su Yu looked at the two fragments in his hand, lost in thought. Ada sighed lightly and slowly said, "Since two keys appeared in the reward for this trial, I think the Imperial Coffin is ready to emerge, with the tacit approval of some powers. We just happen to be in the right place at the right time. Su Yu, let’s try digging according to what the parchment says."

Suddenly, Su Yu said, "Ada, you mentioned that there are six of these fragments in total. Do you think, maybe all six fragments were included in the reward from the last trial?"
