Chapter 379: Chapter 193: The Origins of the Mastermind, the Powerful Lurkers in the Shadows!_2

"Moreover, I found an invisible city five thousand kilometers northwest of Illusion City, capable of rendering the entire city invisible, possibly with a seven-star stronghold. The corrosion of Illusion City might be the work of this stronghold."

"There is no need for everyone to suspect each other and ruin the harmony."

Su Yu was reassuring everyone to prevent them from suspecting each other, which would be pointless.

Indeed, upon hearing Su Yu mentioning other seven-star strongholds, everyone felt significantly relieved.

At the same time, they were very surprised: "Mr. Su Yu, are you serious? There are really other cities with a seven-star stronghold?"

Even Xiao Shengyin wore an expression of surprise.

It seemed unbelievable that besides the Transcendent Union, there were other seven-star strongholds on this planet.

Su Yu was somewhat puzzled: "Why, are other seven-star strongholds on this planet such a strange thing?"

Everyone exchanged glances, and finally, Xiao Shengyin spoke: "Mr. Su Yu, indeed, we have never seen other seven-star strongholds."

"The entire Transcendent Union is all the seven-star Transcendents I have seen over the years."

Hearing this, Su Yu frowned deeply; this didn’t make sense!

Seven-star Transcendents have a long lifespan, at least counted by millennia.

On such a large planet, accumulated over so many years, there are only these few seven-star Transcendents?

Xiao Shengyin noticed Su Yu’s confusion and explained: "After being promoted to an eight-star Transcendent, I, taking advantage of my profession, traveled around the Ruins Star back then."

"I saw numerous ruins of big cities all over the planet."

"Judging from the size of those ruins, it’s estimated that they all once had a seven-star stronghold."

"Just like my Holy Hidden City and Xie Yitian’s Illusion City, they each had populations of at least hundreds of thousands to a million."

"But later, these big cities were destroyed for unknown reasons, and the seven-star strongholds vanished without a trace."

"After Mr. Su Yu joined the Union, upon learning the truth about this planet, I thought those cities and seven-star strongholds touched a taboo and were destroyed by the creations Zhang Chenfeng left behind, but..."

Xiao Shengyin’s words carried an unfinished meaning.

But Su Yu understood and nodded:

"But now it seems those cities were destroyed, but the seven-star strongholds, with their strong vitality, might not have truly died..."

"These strongholds, with their cities obliterated and families wiped out, could have been heavily injured, filled with anger and hatred."

"The key is, they don’t know who their enemy is."

"If these people survived, the hatred in their hearts is imaginable. Such hatred, accumulated over hundreds or even thousands of years..."

"Having survived such tribulations, these strongholds would likely not dare to risk establishing cities again. They might be lurking in the shadows, searching for their enemies, and looking for ways to advance."

"So, there is actually such a hidden force on this planet. It’s unknown how many of these strongholds are lurking in the dark..."

Actually, what Su Yu said was all speculation.

But the more he analyzed, the more he felt it was highly possible!

If Su Yu didn’t know the truth about the planet’s lockdown, and when his Mechanical City thrived with millions of residents, suddenly one day, divine force descended, obliterating the Mechanical City, turning familiar friends into ashes.

He himself would be grievously injured and on the verge of death.

After surviving such a disaster, Su Yu would undoubtedly no longer dare to emerge and establish cities, but instead, lurk in the dark, searching for his enemies.

Given Su Yu’s persistence, such deep hatred would surely be avenged, be it a thousand or ten thousand years later!

Now, those seven-star strongholds in hiding might think the same!

Moreover, having hated for so long, their minds might have been completely twisted, maybe even having turned to the Evil God!

"What? There actually exists a group of such strongholds?"

"Mr. Su Yu makes sense. If my city were destroyed one day, what would I do..."

"Those guys must be twisted by now. No wonder they want to target Illusion City, using a million people as sacrifices..."

"Could our cities also be targeted by them?!"

Upon hearing Su Yu’s analysis, everyone suddenly felt a chill down their spines.

Everyone was smart and quickly realized that what Su Yu said could very well be the truth.

There truly might be a powerful force hidden in the shadows!

And the cities of the Transcendent Union members were exposed in the open, with basically no concealment. After all, given their strength, the planet had few things that could threaten them, so what was there to hide?

But now knowing that a strong force in the shadows has its eyes on their cities, and their lives, is terrifying.

Fortunately, Mr. Su Yu joined the Transcendent Union, letting them know the truth about the planet’s lockdown, thus deducing the existence of this force.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t even know how they died.

Just like Illusion City, without Su Yu, it might one day become a dead city without anyone realizing what happened.

Everyone fell silent, clearly digesting this shocking news.

Even Su Yu was deep in thought.

His recent actions were quite significant, engaging in a major development of the Dead Silence Wilderness.

Could he also have been targeted by the hidden force?

Although the population of the Mechanical City is currently small, that might not be the case in the future.

After a while, Xiao Shengyin suddenly spoke:

"Mr. Su Yu, could I invite you to my Holy Hidden City to check for hidden dangers? You are an expert in the Ghost Energy field, my insight is not as sharp as yours. Of course, we would not let Mr. Su Yu make a trip for nothing; appropriate remuneration will be provided."

Hearing this, Su Yu was about to consider the offer when everyone else’s eyes lit up, and they quickly said: "Yes! Mr. Su Yu, please come to my city for an inspection as well..."

"And mine..."

"Same here..."

Everyone began to invite Su Yu to their cities.

Apparently, Xie Yitian resolved the "Illusion" threat with Su Yu’s help, giving everyone some inspiration.

In terms of the Ghost Energy, corrosion, and Evil God’s domains, who could compare to Mr. Su Yu?

Right now, Mr. Su Yu simply seems like an Evil God himself, and that’s what you call expertise...

Hearing these words, Su Yu felt a mix of amusement and helplessness.

How, in such a short time, did he become so popular?

Initially, everyone was quite afraid of Su Yu, worried he might use them for some ritual.

Yet now, they were all eagerly inviting Su Yu to visit their cities as a guest.

The change was too drastic.

But on second thought, he could understand everyone’s mindset.

Su Yu’s image and aura displayed, although intimidating, were actually quite friendly in attitude.

Su Yu hadn’t done anything harmful to others; he even saved Xie Yitian’s life.

In contrast, the force lurking in the shadows was much more frightening.

Illusion City nearly faced total annihilation!

If they don’t uncover the hidden dangers, who knows when their cities might turn into death zones.

For the sake of safety and survival, they could only cling to Su Yu’s powerful support.

"Certainly, but given so many cities, I will need time to visit each one and conduct inspections."

Su Yu thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

After all, he now has great mobility, capable of flying at multiple times the speed of sound, covering the globe.

Visiting other cities wouldn’t be too troublesome.

Moreover, Su Yu was curious about the cities established by other seven-star strongholds and wondered how they compared to Illusion City.

It’s a good opportunity to gain some knowledge.

"That’s great!"

"Thank you, Mr. Su Yu!"

"We’re always ready to welcome Mr. Su Yu’s presence..."

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and thanked him in unison.

Su Yu nodded and spoke again: "There’s no need for formalities, everyone."

"Before visiting your cities, I have one more thing to do!"

"And that is to explore the invisible city five thousand kilometers northwest of Illusion City!"

Previously, Su Yu had only speculated the invisible city had a seven-star stronghold but hadn’t investigated to avoid alerting them.

After all, not knowing the background of that city made it imprudent to be too rash.

But now, Su Yu had decided to go directly to their doorstep!
