Chapter 962: Chapter 723: Leave a Way Out_1

Reminded by Ada, Su Yu suddenly remembered that he had been cultivating in this lost world for five months without noticing, and the hundred-year agreement between the "Dragon Clan" and the "Phoenix Clan" had already lapsed.

"Hmm, I need to hurry back immediately, I promised Qing Huang," Su Yu said as he put the "Chaos Core" back into his storage ring. He then plucked some Golden Seeds from a tree loaded with them and put those into his storage ring as well.

Tezcatlipoca frowned and said, "Su Yu, time is short. There’s no need to waste it on this."

Su Yu replied, "Teacher, I will just go and come back quickly; it won’t take much time. I’ve been cultivating so diligently for the sole purpose of having enough power to protect the people I want to protect. Otherwise, even if I have immortal power, what’s the meaning in that?"

After speaking, Su Yu gave a slight smile. Without any visible preparation, he began to float upward. At his current realm, simply by channeling his special power outward, he could naturally lift his body off the ground. Of course, this required precise control over his special power, which was one of the many skills Tezcatlipoca had taught him over the past five months.

After hearing Su Yu’s words, Tezcatlipoca clearly paused for a moment, then finally said, "Alright, but absolutely do not waste too much time."

Su Yu hummed in acknowledgment and said, "I know. As soon as I’ve dealt with the affairs of the Phoenix Clan and the Dragon Clan, I will return here immediately."

As he spoke, he started to accelerate. A pair of silver wings on his back spread out with a swish, and in an instant, his figure shot up into the sky like a cannonball.

The sensation of flying freely was truly marvelous; Su Yu had never felt such unbounded freedom to manipulate every part of his body. He could sense the subtle changes in the surrounding air currents. For example, if he wanted to turn slightly to the left, all he needed to do was to release his special power to the right, and his flying body would naturally turn left. The radius of the turn could be controlled by the strength of the released special power.

Soon, Su Yu retracted his silver wings. At this point, he no longer needed wings to fly freely. Shortly afterward, he burst through the "Absolute Seal" and reappeared beside what seemed to be an ordinary "volcanic crater" deep within the "Million Great Mountains."

As Su Yu alighted, the protective seal of the "Absolute Seal" made him unafraid of others entering. At this moment, he looked around and saw vast green mountain ranges. It was now May, and temperatures were somewhat high, but of course, this had no effect on Su Yu.

Ada, who was lying on Su Yu’s shoulder, said, "It’s been five months since we’ve seen them; I wonder how Wang Heng and the others are doing." As it turned out, it wasn’t just Su Yu who was concerned for them; even Ada started to miss the Black Warriors.

"Let’s go." Su Yu stamped his foot and with a whoosh, he shot up into the sky. Ada couldn’t help but complain, "Take it slower."

"Haha," Su Yu laughed heartily as the special power he released grew increasingly intense, pushing against the air around him and gradually producing a hissing noise. His speed increased more and more until he frictions against the air turned him into a streak of light, flying at extreme speed through the void.

If his clothes hadn’t been made with special power, the ordinary fabric would have long been ignited by the air friction and reduced to ashes.

However, such extreme speed flight greatly exhausted the special power inside his body, so Su Yu gradually slowed down. Suddenly, he asked Tezcatlipoca in his mind, "Teacher, that lost world is so magical, and the Power of the World is nearly infinite. Couldn’t we bring Qin Jiagui and the Black Warriors with us for cultivation? I think it could definitely bring a huge leap in their strength in a short time."

Upon hearing this, Tezcatlipoca immediately called out anxiously, "Absolutely not."

Su Yu was taken aback. The Power of the World there was almost endless. The power he had drawn from the world during his five months of cultivation was negligible to that world, so there should not be an issue of insufficient world power due to many people cultivating together.

With a sigh, Tezcatlipoca said, "Foolish boy, every being will keep a path of retreat for themselves. Just like this lost world, even after I had offspring and became the ancestor of the three clans, I never revealed this secret. Now, the path of retreat I left behind has indeed come in handy. If back then I had told my descendants this secret, I’m afraid... the consequences would have been unimaginable. Boy, do you understand what I’m saying?"

Su Yu frowned slightly, then Ada suddenly spoke up, "Tezcatlipoca is right. Even though the Black Warriors are extremely loyal, even though Qin Jiagui and the others are your friends."

Tezcatlipoca sighed, "I believe Ada must have also prepared some fallbacks for himself back then... Su Yu, remember, no matter when, you should always keep something in reserve. Perhaps the thing you keep in reserve might never come into play in your entire life... But it represents a form of hope. It’s definitely not wrong to have something up your sleeve. Just like this ’Lost World’, if you were to tell your friends about it, maybe they wouldn’t leak it, but... There is no wall in this world that doesn’t let any wind through... In short, you must never reveal this to anyone. Remember to leave yourself a way out when necessary, a way out that nobody else knows about... Only then will you possibly have a fallback should you perish in the future, a chance to start all over again."

Su Yu hummed in acknowledgment and said no more, yet his heart was slightly chilled.

After hearing Tezcatlipoca and Ada’s words, he suddenly realized that the more powerful one became, the fewer friends one could trust. Many secrets could no longer be shared with friends and must be kept quietly in one’s heart, not to be disclosed to anyone.

This time, Su Yu flew at an exceptionally fast speed, and in less than half a day’s time, he had already crossed the "Million Mountains" and returned to "Black Martial City".

After being away for five months and seeing "Black Martial City" once again, Su Yu could hardly believe that this majestic black city was the very same one that had been destroyed several times before.

"Qin Jiagui, Qing Huang, respected seniors, I have returned." Su Yu raised his voice, and before he even arrived, his voice had already traveled far and wide. He then reined in his special power with a "whoosh" and fell straight down from the sky hundreds of meters above.

As his descent speed increased, right before he was about to land, Su Yu once more released his special power to slow his fall, then landed steadily on the ground, light as though he had no weight at all.

In his mind, the voice of Tezcatlipoca said, "Not bad, you controlled it very well. You do have some natural talent in energy control." Although Tezcatlipoca did not heap praise on Su Yu, his tone already revealed his satisfaction.

Who Tezcatlipoca was—although in terms of age, he might not live as long as Qi Ming, the Black Warrior who lived for ten thousand years—he was one of the progenitors of the three great civilizations. Even Tlorlok, the "Aztec" immortal powerhouse, was his descendant. His weapon, the "Chaos Staff", was sought after by deities, even at the cost of their lives. To receive his praise, Su Yu’s performance was indeed satisfactory.

When Su Yu safely landed in front of "Black Martial City", two figures shot towards him, bowing respectfully, saying, "Lord Ada."

They were two Black Warriors clad in black armor and then called out Su Yu’s name; excitement was evident in their voices.

Su Yu could not remember their names and hurriedly asked, "Where are Qing Huang and Elder Wang Heng?" At this moment, he noticed that the seemingly magnificent "Black Martial City" had turned into a ghost town. Apart from the two Black Warriors before him, he could no longer sense the presence of any other life.

One Black Warrior with a square face replied, "Lord Wang and Miss Qing Huang left here three days ago for the ’Phoenix Clan’. It seems there was a danger to the Phoenix Clan, and Lord Wang and the others were concerned. They took other Black Warriors with them. We stayed behind specifically to wait for Lord Ada and you, in case you returned and found Black Martial City empty, not knowing what happened."

Su Yu quickly understood the situation. It seemed that the century-old agreement between the "Phoenix Clan" and the "Dragon Clan" was about to come to fruition. Qing Huang, concerned, had rushed back to the "Phoenix Clan", and Elder Wang Heng and the Black Warriors had followed. These two Black Warriors remained behind to wait for them, in case Su Yu came back and found no one in Black Martial City, not knowing what to do.

"Let’s go. We’re heading to the ’Phoenix Clan’ immediately."

Su Yu nodded to the two Black Warriors before him and "whooshed" once again into the sky, heading in the direction of the "Phoenix Clan".

The two Black Warriors behind him also hurriedly leaped up and followed Su Yu.

"I originally thought Wang Heng and the others would stand by and not interfere with Qing Huang and the affairs of the Phoenix Clan; it’s unexpected that they would follow them. How curious," Su Yu couldn’t help chuckling softly. In his mind, the Black Warriors were only devoted to Ada, and besides that, they wouldn’t care about anyone else’s life or death. It turned out they had a change of heart this time.

Ada snorted lightly, saying, "You think too lowly of the Black Warriors; after living together for so long... they must have formed a deep bond."

"Right, even beings that have lived for ten thousand years like the Black Warriors have emotions," Su Yu mused. Upon learning that the Black Warriors and Qing Huang had gone to the "Phoenix Clan" together, some of his previous worries were relieved. With over a thousand demi-gods garrisoning the place, the "Dragon Clan", no matter how aggressive, would probably not dare to start a war with the "Phoenix Clan" immediately. (To be continued.
