Chapter 664: Chapter 509: Earth-Shattering Great Secret_2

According to the wooden man’s words, Su Yu was now certain that either Kou Xiaowei or her father had not lied. Perhaps this half sheet of paper truly contained some earth-shattering secret. However, at present, none of them could decipher it. Perhaps they needed to find the other half of the paper first.

Since he had no leads on this matter, Su Yu decided to put the paper into the storage ring temporarily and put it aside.

Over the next two days, everyone was busy with their own cultivation. Qin Jiagui remained shut in his room all day. However, every time Su Yu remotely sensed the place where Qin Jiagui lived, he could faintly feel Qin Jiagui’s energy growing stronger. Clearly, he was slowing refining the power of the seed within him, bit by bit, and then integrating it into his bodily mutation.

Three days passed quickly. Just as Su Yu was planning to go with Lei Leian and the wooden man to see what exactly was in the "Aztec Ruins", he received bad news: "Freedom Town" was in trouble.

The person who came to "Black Iron City" for help was Zhou Zhurou.

Zhou Zhurou had obviously rushed day and night to reach "Black Iron City", and was out of breath by the time she arrived, but was stopped by the city guard.

When Zhou Zhurou anxiously reported that she was from "Freedom Town" and wished to see Su Yu, the guards coldly asked if she had received a summons. Without a summons, no one was allowed entry.

Zhou Zhurou was extremely anxious and tried to barge in, which ruffled the city guards. After all this time, who dared to recklessly barge into "Black Iron City"? The last one who dared do so were the Five Holy Envoys from the Upper Realm. Ordinary people, whether they were from a small town or another city, dared not do so casually.

Fortunately, a fight did not ensue, because by chance, Su Yun, Lei Rui and others were returning and happened to see Zhou Zhurou.

"Huh? Sister Zhurou?" Su Yun found this quite strange and couldn’t help but laugh and go to greet her. When the city guard saw Su Yun, they immediately stood respectfully straight and then retreated.

Zhou Zhurou saw Su Yun and felt as if she had seen her savior. She said anxiously: "Su Yun I need to see Su Yu. Our ’Freedom Town’... our ’Freedom Town’ is in big trouble."

With slight surprise, Su Yun, Lei Rui smiled and said, "Sister Zhurou, don’t worry, let’s enter the city first and then discuss." With that, she took Zhou Zhurou into "Black Iron City", while simultaneously letting someone inform Su Yu.

After receiving the news that "Freedom Town" was in trouble, and that Zhou Zhurou had come to ask for help, Su Yu found it a bit odd. He met with Zhou Zhurou in the main hall, where, as soon as she saw him, she anxiously entreated, "Su Yu, we are in big trouble. You are the only one we could think to turn to. You must help us this time."

Su Yu gestured for her to calm down, and asked, "What happened to ’Freedom Town’?" He then had someone pour tea for Zhou Zhurou.

Having come all the way, day and night without rest, Zhou Zhurou was parched. She took a few sips of tea, which helped her calm down somewhat. "Actually, it’s not a big deal," she ventured. "A team from our town had a conflict with some people in the Water Element Space over some resource minerals. One of our guys was killed, while they suffered more casualties, seemed like they lost three people."

Su Yu picked up his tea, took a gentle sip, and hummed in acknowledgement. He knew that conflicts like this in the Ten Great Elemental Spaces happened from time to time and were quite common. He had had a similar encounter when he first met Meng Ting. At that time, Meng Ting and her team had stepped in and saved Ada, killing the enemy in the process.

"The three of them died, the others in their team escaped, and then found you all, seeking revenge?" Su Yu gave a soft smile, having deduced the situation from Zhou Zhurou’s story.

Zhou Zhurou responded with a bitter smile, "Initially, in the Ten Great Elemental Spaces, no team knew where in this world they came from. Unexpectedly, this time around, just as we had almost forgotten about this incident, a group sought us out for revenge. We didn’t know how they found us. It was only later that we discovered that the small team we had clashed with from our town was from a place called ’Hero Town’, not too far southwest from our ’Freedom Town’. An all-out revenge attack happened and a lot of people got injured or died on both sides. We turned away their attack but upon a more detailed investigation of the origins of ’Hero Town’, we got a shock. The leader of ’Hero Town’, Lei Xiong, has a brother who is the deputy city lord of a place called ’General City’. ’Hero Town’ was weaker than us so Lei Xiong went to ’General City’ for aid. Sensing something was off, the only thing we could think of was asking you, Su Yu, for help. Even our ’Freedom Village’, no matter how strong, could not stand up to a whole city."

Su Yu nodded, finally understanding the situation. It seemed the conflict might have started over a small matter, only to later involve more and more people. There were many casualties on both sides. As for "General City", of course, he knew it. It was the city closest to "Black Iron City". The Great General of "General City" had personally visited him to congratulate him and even gifted him a Fire Ginseng. They had always been on good terms with no conflicts.

According to what Zhou Zhurou had said, it appeared that "Freedom Town", having discovered Lei Xiong from "Hero Town"’s terrifying background, had sent Zhou Zhurou for help just in case. "Freedom Town" was located some distance away from "Black Iron City". If they had waited for something to happen before informing him, it would have been too late.

Su Yu listened to her, nodded, and then furrowed his eyebrows. The war against the five Holy Envoys had caused huge losses in "Black Iron City", including countless deaths and injuries. Now, it seemed they couldn’t even keep up with their intelligence. Otherwise, how could he have not received any information regarding this major incident in "Freedom Town"?

Annoyed, Su Yu but didn’t say anything else. He stood up and said, "I’ll travel to ’Freedom Town’ with you. No matter whether ’General City’ will interfere in this matter or not, letting this situation linger is indeed a ticking time bomb." Su Yu decided to make a move. He believed the Great General of ’General City’ would respect him enough to listen.

Su Yun added, "Su Yu, I want to go too."

Su Yu shook his head, "I’ll go and return quickly. This isn’t a big deal. What are you going for? Sister Zhurou, let’s go." He planned to go see the "Aztec Ruins" with the woodman and Lei Leian after settling this matter, hoping to find information about the other five parts of the woodman’s body.

For "Freedom Town", this matter was a disaster, but for Su Yu, it was merely a minor effort.

Seeing Su Yu agreeing to go, Zhou Zhurou exhaled in relief. However, Su Yu was prepared to go alone. Could he really resolve this situation by himself?

Zhou Zhurou couldn’t help but want to remind Su Yu to bring more people along, but seeing Su Yu’s confidence, she held her tongue.

Su Yu simply smiled and said, "Let’s go." Ada leapt down and, after transforming into a giant, Su Yu climbed onto it. Without unnecessary chatter, he helped Zhou Zhurou up, and then Ada carried them away from "Black Iron City".

For Su Yu, such conflicts between towns didn’t even require his direct involvement. He could just send someone to resolve it. However, considering "General City" might be implicated, out of respect, he decided to handle it personally.

With Ada’s current speed, the journey from "Black Iron City" to "Freedom Town" didn’t take long. As the day gradually turned into dusk, Ada, carrying Su Yu and Zhou Zhurou, finally reached the outskirts of what was once "Freedom Village", now "Freedom Town".

Su Yu gave a soft sigh. He hadn’t thought he would return to the former "Freedom Village" for this reason. Of course, it was now called "Freedom Town".
