Chapter 593: Old Zhu Makes His Move (3)

Zhu Tiandao smiled, “The Sunmoon traitor has been executed. This is a great contribution to humanity.”

He looked at Su Yu and asked, “Who else? I’ll kill anyone you point at. This is no big deal. Kid, even if the Knowledge Seeking Realm and Great Xia decide to attack Great Ming, I’ll still back you up. Don’t worry. Great Ming will never mistreat their own.”

“…”

Su Yu laughed and bowed, “The prefect’s wisdom knows no bounds.”

As for the so-called attack on Great Ming, that wouldn’t happen. But Zhu Tiandao sure was good at exaggerating things. At this point, Yu Hong and the others were starting to flee in panic.

Walking on thin air as casually as he was taking a stroll in the park, Zhu Tiandao nonchalantly grabbed one of them. “Is this Tang Yunfei from the Nine Heavens Cultural Research Academy? You deserve death.”

Bang!

Tang Yunfei was blasted to death.

“Qiu Yunhua, I know you. You deserve death.”

Bang!

Everyone trembled with fear. Jin Yuhui was dead. Tang Yunfei was dead. Qiu Yunhua was dead as well. One Mountainsea after another was killed by Zhu Tiandao. Su Yu watched on without saying anything.

Old Zheng was killed. Elder Li was killed. Wang Ming of Daoseeking Cultural Research Academy was killed. The barbaric bull elder was killed. The fox elder was killed.

Finally, with Yu Hong in hand, Zhu Tiandao looked at Su Yu and said, “I can feel how much anger you have toward her. Do you want to kill her with your own hands?”

Yu Hong was absolutely terrified. She said, “No! Su Yu, d-don’t kill me!”

Su Yu calmly asked, “Tell me. Back then when my senior sister’s parents were killed, did you play a role in informing the cult of their whereabouts?”

“No…”

Zhu Tiandao tightened his grip on her, causing her flesh to start cracking apart. She fearfully denied, “It wasn’t me! It was Zhou Pingsheng! Yeah, it was him! He joined the academy around the same time as Chen Yong! He was jealous of Chen Yong’s talent so he notified the Six-Winged Divine Sect of Chen Yong’s whereabouts…”

Su Yu confirmed, “Six-Winged Divine Sect?”

“Yeah.”

“I see.” Su Yu nodded and said, “You may kill her, Prefect. I don’t want to dirty my hands with her blood…”

What was the meaning of that? Zhu Tiandao was somewhat speechless. Was the kid trying to say that his hands were already dirty so it was fine for him to kill her?

Boom!

Like all the others, Yu Hong was blasted to death. With this, the cloud tiger elder, barbaric bull elder, fox elder, Yu Hong, Elder Li, Old Zheng, Tang Yunfei, Qiu Yunhua, Wang Ming, Yun Fei, Hong Chen, Blood Rakshasha were dead. These were all Mountainseas. On top of that, there were two dead Sunmoons, including the blood fire devil. A total of twelve Mountainseas and two Sunmoons had perished. Even more Cloudbreaches and Skysoars had been killed as well.

Silence descended.

Nobody said anything. With all these deaths, Great Xia had lost a large number of Mountainseas and one Sunmoon. This was a massive loss. The myriad race students had also lost six dao proctectors. Five myriad race students had perished as well. This would be very troublesome.

Right at that moment, the air warped as Marquis Xia stepped out with an unsightly expression. He gazed at Su Yu, but he said nothing. When his gaze landed on the dead experts, he remained silent as well.

Only those siding with the humans were left standing.

Silence descended.

Too many experts from the single character faction had perished in this battle. Not even Marquis Xia had expected this.

Zhu Tiandao appeared indifferent as he said, “Old Xia, since you’re here, say something. What should we do with these people? Some of the things they know can’t be spread. You understand this very well.”

Marquis Xia ignored Zhu Tiandao. First, he looked at the three beasts accompanying Su Yu. Then, he looked at the old sky horse and the mountain antelope. He said, “The Xia Family is not unreasonable. The five of you can come over here and get parts of your memories sealed. The more you know, the faster you die. I believe you understand this.”

The beasts did not dare to disobey. Both Zhu Tiandao and Marquis Xia were present. And they were very well aware that knowledge was capable of killing.

Instead of sealing their memories directly, Marquis Xia knocked them unconscious before gloomily saying, “We need an Invincible to seal their memories so that nobody can break the seal.”

After saying that, he looked at the other Mountainseas.

“Hu Hao, Xia Wen, and Xia Wu. Return and heal up in seclusion.”

“Alright.”

They hurriedly answered.L𝒂aTest nov𝒆ls on (n)𝒐velbi/𝒏(.)co𝒎

“Zhao Mingyue and Feng Ji…” Marquis Xia frowned and said, “Both of you are with the multiple character faction. You know what to do, right?”

Zhao Mingyue said, “Don’t worry.”

Finally, Marquis Xia’s gaze landed on Zhao Tianbing. This was the biggest trouble here.

Zhao Tianbing was feeling somewhat gloomy. After thinking about it, he said, “Why don’t we do this? I’ll swear on my junior brother’s name that I will keep this a secret. If I say anything, my junior brother will die by self-detonation.”

Marquis Xia: “…”

Zhu Tiandao: “…”

With a helpless tone, Zhao Tianbing said, “Why are you looking at me like that? My junior brother is the closest person to me. I’m a Sunmoon. Even Invincibles will have a hard time sealing my memories properly. That’s my only option. Am I supposed to kill myself?”

Su Yu smiled and said, “I trust you, Martial Uncle Zhao. It’s not like these secrets are that big of a deal.”

Both Zhu Tiandao and Marquis Xia ignored him. What nonsense. The kid was feeling secure in the knowledge that he had backing, but some of the things here must be kept hidden.

Then, Marquis Xia looked at the water elemental and the others, “These fellows are too weak. Just kill them to ensure nothing leaks.”

The suanni trembled with fear.

Holy shit!

Was he going to die?

“It’s fine.” Su Yu said, “You don’t need to worry about this. I’ll be taking them with me to Great Ming. I doubt they can do anything in Great Ming.”

“Are you really going to Great Ming?” Marquis Xia sighed and said, “These people are all dead. After this, the Xia Family will also clear out some people. Great Xia will be a much better place than before…”

“It’s fine. Thanks for the offer.”

Su Yu said nothing else. He had nothing else to say. He would no longer stay in Great Xia. At this point, being indecisive about his allegiance would only harm himself. Zhu Tiandao looked at Su Yu with a wide grin. Well said!

Marquis Xia sighed again before looking at the surviving students. “Lan Tian might have learned of this as well…”

Zhu Tiandao said, “It’s fine. He doesn’t know much since his stand of consciousness was destroyed before Su Yu revealed the disassembly method. As for this student of his, do you want to take her away or do you want me to deal with her?”

“I’ll take her.” Marquis Xia then looked at Ji Xiaomeng and asked, “Did Ji Hong find out about something?”

Ji Hong wouldn’t have sent his daughter to observe Li Minyu otherwise. In truth, not even Marquis Xia was aware that Li Minyu was linked to Lan Tian. Why had Ji Hong remained silent after learning about that? What was Ji Hong planning?

Ji Xiaomeng pitifully said, “Grandpa Xia, I know nothing. Why don’t you seal my memories and tell my dad to shut his mouth? Please don’t kill me.”

Marquis Xia was having a headache. Kill his ass. Ji Hong was a subordinate of the Xia Family. Fine, as a Sunmoon, the Xia Family wouldn’t be able to control him that much, but there wasn’t a need for that.

He only needed to go back and have a talk with Ji Hong. So many experts had died in one day. He needed a good cover story…

That thought had barely crossed his mind when Su Yu said, “I can’t tell Great Xia what to do. But I wish to release some of my recordings. I don’t want some people to be turned into martyrs that have died in the process of fighting the cult.”

He stared at Marquis Xia. If the Xia Family dared to cover this up and turn those people into martyrs, he would release the recordings and slap the Xia Family’s face. It wasn’t like the Xia Family wouldn’t be capable of doing something like that. Or to be precise, it was only natural for those in power to do something like this.

To maintain peace and calm the remaining single character faction experts, to prevent chaos in Great Xia, and to prevent the masses from knowing the truth, they might really cover everything up and claim that these people had died while fighting the cult.

With that, they would be able to create the image that everything was still fine within Great Xia. As for the upper echelons who were aware of the truth, they could deal with the truth themselves.

Su Yu was unwilling to let that happen. He wanted to expose the truth. He wanted the masses to scorn the single character faction.

Marquis Xia frowned and said, “The rest of them are not necessarily your enemy. If you do this, the single character faction of the entire Human Realm will see you as an enemy.”

Almost all of the people who had directly wronged Su Yu had been killed. And the upper echelons would naturally be made aware of what had happened. Was there a need to make a big deal out of it and let everyone know about the truth?

Su Yu ignored Marquis Xia and looked at Zhu Tiandao before asking, “Prefect, can I do this?”

Zhu Tiandao hesitated. After thinking about it, he said, “Apart from the information that the public shouldn’t know about, you are free to release the rest of the recordings.”

“Zhu Tiandao!” Marquis Xia howled, “This will only cause a mass disturbance. Everyone will see that the Human Realm is sinking into chaos. This will shake the entire Human Realm!”

He was speaking the truth as well. At the moment, the masses believed that humanity was fully united against external threats. That was why the militaristic Great Xia was able to raise countless soldiers out of their people.

But when news of what happened here spread, the faith of numerous people would be shaken.

Zhu Tiandao said, “Without destruction, there can be no construction. And why should I care about this? Great Ming will be fine. Our cultural researchers are too busy enjoying life to care about these internal conflicts. Everyone knows this.”

Seriously! Everyone knew that Great Ming’s cultural researchers spent all their time reciting poetry and drinking liquor. This issue was basically Great Xia’s internal issue. It had nothing to do with him.

“You—”

Marquis Xia was greatly troubled. If news of what happened here spread, Great Xia would be greatly affected.

At this time, a cold voice rang out, “Second Uncle, take our people back. If they want to spread the truth, so be it. It’s time Great Xia undergo a cleansing.”

The voice then vanished. Zhu Tiandao frowned, and Marquis Xia sighed.

Xia Longwu!

That was his voice transmission.

Su Yu was frowning as well. Was Xia Longwu…really going to let him do as he wished? What was the meaning of that? He had thought that Great Xia would object vehemently to this. Marquis Xia said nothing else and grabbed the survivors before vanishing into thin air.

“Su Yu, Great Xia’s door will always remain open for you. Some things…are different from what you think. We have our difficulties as well…”

“I understand.” Su Yu said, “I hope you won’t forget your promise, Marquis.”

“Sigh. I won’t.”

Marquis Xia left with a regretful sigh.

Meanwhile, Zhu Tiandao was grinning with delight.

“When I suggested to marry my granddaughter to you, you disagreed. What do you think about my daughter instead? She’s not that old…”

“…”

Silence descended.

There were still some other people there.

Holy shit!

All these people were dumbstruck. Was there a need for him to act like this? He was Great Ming’s prefect, for fuck’s sake!

Su Yu was also quite speechless. After a while, he asked, “Prefect, did I expose too many of my secrets this time?”

“Don’t worry about it.” Zhu Tiandao said, “Anything you get from your fortuitous encounters belongs to you alone. But…cough, cough, you can also consider sharing some of them if you want for some other benefits. If you want, you can marry into the Zhu Family. That will make you one of us.”

“…”

Zhu Tiandao was not interested in forcing Su Yu to hand over his secrets. That wasn’t proper, and the kid might even choose to hold back. But if he made the kid one of them, would the kid still be stingy toward them?

After becoming a father, would the kid pass on his trump cards to his own children? They were cultivators, so they could live long enough to see that happen. Thus, Zhu Tiandao was not worried at all.

Su Yu would not be able to leave after joining Great Ming. This was a young man. Which young man wouldn’t be interested in women?

If the kid was uninterested in the existing women of the Zhu Family, Zhu Tiandao could simply give birth to more daughters. As cultivators, it was only a matter of time before he produced a daughter that was fit for Su Yu’s tastes. And at that time, Su Yu would become a part of the Zhu Family!

Zhu Tiandao grinned, not worried at all that he would not be able to keep Su Yu in Great Ming. He was confident that the kid would not be able to escape becoming a part of Zhu Family after joining Great Ming.
