Don’t Mess with that Turtle
Chapter 173 - 173 035 The Robbery Begins_1

173: Chapter 035: The Robbery Begins_1 173: Chapter 035: The Robbery Begins_1 “Impossible, absolutely impossible!” the Toad waved his hand and shouted.

This Turtle Kid actually wants him to recognize a master!

Just because it sat here, giving the Dragon Turtle many pointers about the things to pay attention to during the Catastrophe—a toad of unknown age with some substance in its belly, isn’t it quite normal?

But you shouldn’t covet me!

You won’t even let an old toad off the hook; are you even human?

Su He bowed his Dragon Head and sighed softly, “Alright…

sorry…”

The Toad knew too much, yet it didn’t have systematic knowledge; it was just saying whatever came to mind.

Su He simply hoped it would temporarily recognize a master.

Soul Beasts and their masters are essentially one—once it recognized a master, the Heavenly Tribulation would not intensify.

In any situation then, the Toad could offer guidance.

It was only temporary allegiance; afterward, no one would hinder the other—we would each go our own way—consider it a favor Su He owed the Toad.

A favor from a Divine God Beast is quite valuable.

But the Toad refused.

Si Ze left; this girl had a bandit-like air about her, acting swiftly and decisively.

Knowing that Su He was going to transcend, she didn’t waste words and turned to leave.

She told Su He to stay put right here.

She would go persuade Ge Feng and Yu Lin, trying to initiate the encirclement and counterattack against the Sealed Emperor Great World ahead of schedule.

They could contain the Minotaur of the Sealed Emperor Great World to the extreme west of the battlefield for at least a month.

She was full of confidence.

After all, Brother Ge was Uncle Ge’s own grandson and had a different relationship with the Dragon Turtle than others.

Even Yu Lin was familiar with the Dragon Turtle—to the point that the entire Li Nan Yuan had spread that Tutor Yu Lin was scared of the Dragon Turtle.

So scared that he would detour upon seeing it.

But before Si Ze could unleash her silver tongue, a red light from the direction of Yan Feng City shot straight into the sky, clearly visible throughout the Transcendental Battleground.

This was the Xianxia version of beating the retreat.

Shortly thereafter, Yan Feng City hoisted up the flag of truce.

After two months of battle, the Sealed Emperor Great World flinched for the first time, catching Qingyuan Gate off guard, until Si Ze brought back news about Su He.

Ge Feng paced back and forth, clenching his fists and then releasing them, breathing more and more rapidly.

“Uncle Dragon Turtle is going to cross the Catastrophe!”

“The Sealed Emperor Great World doesn’t dare to lightly challenge its edge!”

It must be so!

It cannot be wrong!

The foundation of Qingyuan Gate was shallow, and they knew too little about Divine God Beasts.

Even their Beast Valley had only started to collect information about Divine God Beasts, especially concerning the Dragon Turtle, after Qingyuan had the Dragon Turtle.

“Junior Brother Yulin, inform all Qingyuan Disciples not to approach the area near Barbarian Corner; turn that place into forbidden ground!

And have everyone ready for battle at any moment.

If the Sealed Emperor Great World dares to show the slightest intention of interfering with Uncle Dragon Turtle’s Catastrophe, we strike immediately!”

Dressed in white, Yu Lin gripped his folding fan tightly; his expression changing numerous times before he finally sighed deeply and said, “Alright!”

Uncle Dragon Turtle, your nephew is willing to risk his life for you this time.

That incident where I stood before you, pulling up my trousers to pee, and then danced butt naked, can we just let that go?

Disperse!

Disperse, please!

Why do these embarrassing thoughts insist on creeping into my mind when I least want them to?

I really want to provoke Uncle Dragon Turtle into ashes under the Heavenly Tribulation!

“Senior Brother!” a Qingyuan Disciple ran back in a panic, “Brother Ge, Senior Brother Yulin!

Just now, Disciple Wu was on his way back to report to the Sect Leader about Uncle Dragon Turtle appearing in the Two-Realms Battlefield and about the impending Catastrophe.”

Ge Feng’s face changed, and before entering the Two-Realms Battlefield, the old master had secretly instructed him that if the Dragon Turtle appeared in the battlefield, try to keep it hidden.

Although he did not know what happened, it was definitely related to the disciples of the Sect.

Now, with Qingyuan Gate teeming with people and complicated gazes, amalgamated with the No-Phase Sword Sect and having annexed several East Cloud Sects, if it weren’t for the pressure of the Two-Realms Battlefield overhead, no one would care about anything else.

Perhaps chaos had already erupted within the Sect.

He and Yu Lin had already ordered that nobody should leave Qingyuan City, yet some still wanted to sneak back to pass on information.

Ge Feng’s face was ice-cold.

The disciple showed a look of terror and continued to gasp for breath, “But…

Junior Brother Wu couldn’t get through the Door of Three Lives, only his head had gone through when it was smashed into powder, not even blood was spilled.”

Ge Feng and Yu Lin exchanged glances, and Yu Lin said, “Outside the Door of Three Lives, there must be another battle.

Tell all disciples, under no circumstances should they venture out.”

Either wait for news from within the Sect or wait for Uncle Dragon Turtle to overcome the Heavenly Tribulation.

Once the true Divine God Beast Dragon Turtle goes out, there shouldn’t be any problems — even if it doesn’t go out, having a Sovereign Divine God Beast for Suppression, we should be able to completely overpower the opposition!

Inside Yan Feng City.

It was called a city, but it looked more like a military camp.

Tents were neatly pitched, and Minotaurs stood guard everywhere, with military discipline strictly enforced.

The number of Minotaurs was not greater than that of Qingyuan Gate, nor was their Tao Cultivation much higher.

One was a common tribe from the Sealed Emperor Great World, and the other was a common Sect from the Mystery Huang World; neither had much edge over the other.

What allowed them to suppress Qingyuan Gate was purely their army-like discipline.

Inside the main commander’s tent, a woman in green looked at the sand table floating in the tent, her gaze landing on Su He’s area at Barbarian Corner.

A Minotaur rushed in from outside the army, “Commander!

Why are we retreating?”

It had taken the Minotaurs two months, seemingly in a disorderly fight with the shorties from the Mystery Huang World.

In reality, they were steadily conquering strategic locations to form military formations.

It wouldn’t take long to push Qingyuan Gate back into their city with a final burst of strength.

But just at this moment, the commander had pulled back all their forces.

The woman in green didn’t look up.

A Minotaur youth by her side turned to glower at the rash bull, “Didn’t you see the Tribulation Cloud that rose earlier at Barbarian Corner?”

The rash bull blinked, “I saw it.

What does it have to do with us?

Why bother with it?

It isn’t one of our targeted locations.”

The woman in green shook her head, “A Dragon Turtle has appeared there and wishes to cross the Catastrophe at that location.

We cannot afford to interfere.”

“Eh?” The Barbarian Bull’s eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at the woman.

This was Feng Luan, of the Imperial Clan lineage!

The royalty of the Sealed Emperor Great World were the most prestigious of the All Heavens and Myriad Realms.

She…

was afraid to interfere?

Feng Luan chuckled softly.

Divine God Beasts do not reason.

They don’t care if their offspring were not initially capable of surviving the Heavenly Tribulation.

If you get involved, and the Tribulation is failed, they will blame you for it.

What of it if a mere Minotaur tribe is annihilated?

Divine God Beasts should not be provoked, especially when it comes to one of the Four Spirits like Dragon, Phoenix, Tortoise, and Qilin.

Faced with the Dragon Turtle Tribe, even the Sealed Emperor’s Palace would be troubled.

Six thousand years ago, when a member of the Dragon Turtle Tribe perished, the first ones the tribe investigated were the Sealed Emperor’s Palace and the Ten Major Immortal Doors of the Mystery Huang World.

They made it clear that they were not willing to reason or harbor suspicions, but they still insisted on investigating.

Would it be cooperation or war?

And what was the outcome?

Both the Sealed Emperor’s Palace and the Ten Major Immortal Doors not only cooperated but also helped with the investigation!

“Issue the command, until the Dragon Turtle’s Tribulation has ended, no one is to leave Yan Feng City.”

“But…” The Barbarian Bull wore a conflicted expression, “But that Dragon Turtle is very likely from the opposing Qingyuan Gate!”

Didn’t the Qingyuan Gate disciples spend last month searching everywhere for the Dragon Turtle?

Feng Luan glanced at him, “I know, now go and pass on the order!”

The Dragon Turtle, first and foremost, is a Dragon Turtle, and only after that does it have any other identities.

The Dragon Turtle Tribe doesn’t care about these issues at all—they are irrationally protective of their own!

It’s quite aggrieving, but you have to endure it!

Aiming to discuss reason with a Dragon Turtle, at the very least, requires a prince with real authority—ordinary princes simply aren’t qualified!

…

…

As days passed.

Su He slowly opened his eyes.

Another turtle shell from Fu Mountain had been completely refined, and the External Phase Turtle Mountain became even more solidified.

This turtle shell was from the Demonic Realm, perfectly refined by Su He just now, matching his strength to counter the Heavenly Tribulation.

Su He opened his eyes and looked at the toad.

The toad was squatting on a small mountain nearby, taking puffs from its pipe, with dull eyes seemingly lost in thought.

Su He said softly, “Stop overthinking; it was just a spur-of-the-moment idea from me, said on a whim.

You don’t want a master, and to be honest, I don’t wish for a Soul Beast either.”

The memories of a Soul Beast and its master are interconnected, which for Su He was far too frightening.

Not only would the dice be exposed, but the transmigration wouldn’t be a secret anymore.

However, these were not the major issues.

The master and Soul Beast share weal and woe, and once bonded, there will be no betrayal.

But what about those little secrets from his past life hidden in a small room—wouldn’t they also be impossible to hide?

This absolutely cannot happen!

Not even in death!

He would never become the next Yu Lin.

Su He’s consciousness sank into his Intention Orifice, and the Bright Mirror checked his body again and again.

These days, Su He conducted a full-body examination every day.

In the midst of Heavenly Tribulation…

In the midst of Heavenly Tribulation?!

Su He suddenly opened his eyes wide and shouted at the toad, “The Heavenly Tribulation is coming, let’s go!”

The toad was startled, leapt up, and vanished into the distance.

It hadn’t seen the Tribulation Cloud, but with something like crossing the catastrophe, of course, it would listen to the person undergoing it.

It disappeared in a haste.

Su He adjusted his breathing, raised his head to look into the sky.

Above the high sky, not a cloud was in sight, no trace of any Tribulation aura.

?

Where was the Heavenly Tribulation?

Did Bright Mirror trick me?

Su He waited for a while but still saw no gathering of Tribulation Clouds.

Just as he started to wonder, he saw a black and a yellow cloud slowly forming in the east and west.

The Tribulation Clouds rolled very slowly, but they kept growing and intensifying.

Inside them, thunder roiled, emitting deafening rumblings.

Su He’s heart began to thump uncontrollably, and even his breathing became rapid.

A sense of impending doom welled up within him.

Scale armor stood on end!

He was going to die!

He really was going to die!

Getting struck by this Heavenly Tribulation, he would die!

Danger!

Su He hunched his body, retracting his limbs inside the turtle shell, while the Turtle Mountain on his back shone brilliantly, and scales rattled with the sound of iron armor rubbing together.

The toad, who had vanished into the distance, stared at the two clouds above its head, and its expression suddenly changed drastically!

How could this be?

Crossing the catastrophe when two realms meet in space would only trigger the Origin of both worlds, amplifying the power of the Heavenly Tribulation, but how could it form two clouds of Tribulation?

This damn thing is a Heavenly Tribulation descending from both the Mystery Huang World and the Sealed Emperor Great World at the same time.

The Dragon Turtle is facing two sets of Heavenly Tribulations on his own!

This is suicidal!

Is there even a path to survival?

It picked up its pace desperately, but gradually slowed down, stomped its foot hard, slapped itself on the face, then turned and flashed back toward Su He, yelling from a distance:

“Let me tell you!

Recognizing a master today is just to help you cross the catastrophe!

If you dare have even a stray thought, Frog Lord will flip your turtle shell upside down!”

Su He’s eyes brightened.

“Let me tell you, Turtle Kid, you are not to take me into your Intention Orifice space, do not link memories, do not spy on private matters!

Not now, not later, not ever!”

It shouted and spat out a Symbol towards Su He.

The Symbol, with a will of its own, burrowed into Su He’s forehead and melted into his Intention Orifice.

In an instant, Su He felt as if something was added, yet he couldn’t describe it clearly.

He could use the toad’s vision as if he were using his own eyes, hear the sounds that the toad heard, and feel what the toad touched.

This feeling…

it was as if he had gained another self.

From an unknown distance, the toad flashed and appeared directly above Su He’s head, squatting between the Dragon Turtle’s two horns.

It had always wanted to do this, but the Dragon Turtle was a Divine God Beast, not to be humiliated.

Aside from the little girl Feng Yaya, no one had managed to climb onto the Dragon Turtle’s shell!

Now, it, the toad!

Sitting on the head of the Dragon Turtle, fully justified!

Even more righteous than Feng Yaya.

The toad slapped Su He on the top of the head, “Stop dazing, don’t wait for the thunderclouds to collide, choose one and go cross it directly!”

The toad bellowed.

Su He looked around, saw waves churning beneath him, and charged straight toward the Mystery Huang World’s storm-like Tribulation Cloud.
