Chapter 209: Turning Peril into Ease

Su Yu transforms into the silhouette of that Leopard Tribe expert, swaggering toward the light curtain.

According to that Leopard Tribe expert's memory.

He is called Bao Chong, the son of this Leopard City's lord, and his cultivation has reached the Supreme Golden Body Great Perfection.

Within the whole city, he is also a top Heavenly Pride.

He came out today merely because someone said there was a genius earth treasure here, but upon arriving, he found he had been deceived.

Then he was killed by Su Yu.

It must be said, Bao Chong is indeed unlucky.

According to Bao Chong's memory, within this Leopard City the ranks are clear; based on bloodlines, even a high‑rank expert who meets a lower‑rank but superior‑blood compatriot must defer.

For example, Bao Chong's father, the city's lord, is also a Marquis-level Expert.

His bloodline is among the top in the entire Leopard Tribe.

Unless he meets a descendant of the Leopard King, Bao Chong's status is absolutely the highest.

Even Grand Master experts must greet Bao Chong when they meet him.

Thus, Bao Chong roams the city unchecked, with no one able to restrain him.

Moreover, with Bao Chong's father still in seclusion, Bao Chong's authority has reached the pinnacle of the city.

Furthermore, Bao Chong's talent is not weak; at just over eighteen or nineteen years old, he already possesses the Supreme Golden Body Great Perfection and can at any moment ascend to the Flying Heaven Realm.

This only fuels Bao Chong's arrogance.

【7】 Upon reaching the light curtain, many Leopard Tribe soldiers guard the area; seeing Bao Chong arrive, they kneel and shout loudly.

Upon arriving at the light curtain, there were already many leopard clan soldiers guarding it; upon seeing Bao Chong's arrival, they all knelt on the ground and shouted loudly.

"Greetings, young city lord!"

Su Yu nods in a pretentious manner, then turns his back and walks past the light curtain.

Just after entering the light curtain, Su Yu feels as if a gaze sweeps over his body, and under that scrutiny, everything about him seems to be seen through.

Su Yu is slightly startled, but he forces his uneasy heart to steady and proceeds inside.

After a moment, the gaze disappears, and Su Yu's tension gradually eases.

"Ha, truly worthy of the Seventy‑Two Transformations; even the Leopard Tribe's formation didn't detect my change."

Su Yu chuckles, feeling even more confident, and immediately heads toward Leopard City.

Meanwhile, at the very center of the Leopard Tribe's domain stands a towering city, its appearance almost identical to Hope City.

It should be known that among the myriad races, none possess the Human Race's ingenuity; constructing such a city is already exceedingly difficult.

At the city's core lies a skyscraper, roughly sixty to seventy stories tall.

At the top, a Leopard Tribe expert saturated with death energy furrows his brow slightly.

He looks at the stone slab before him.

On the slab, specks of starlight flicker continuously.

Suddenly, a streak of starlight flashes and turns into a red glow.

"Hmm?"

The Leopard elder furrows his brow slightly.

Although it became red, it quickly shifts to green.

"What's going on?"

The elder's brows knit; he has guarded the formation for many years and has never encountered such a presence.

He releases his soul‑force, pouring it into the stone slab.

Instantly, an image floods the elder's mind.

The image is unmistakably the scenery where Su Yu stands.

"This little kid... seems to be Luo Hou's offspring, right?"

The elder's gaze flickers slightly.

As an elder of the Leopard Tribe, he knows clearly the offspring of its top experts.

He is also aware of Bao Chong's existence.

"How could his body carry an outsider's aura?"

He squints; although he is a Marquis-level Expert, his ability to see here is solely due to the formation.

Naturally, he cannot discern the Seventy‑Two Transformations ability.

"Eek!"

He lets out a soft "eek" and quickly notices something amiss.

"No wonder, there is a Human Race expert's soul imprint on him!"

His gaze is profoundly deep; with ease, he sees through the lingering Li Zhangsheng soul imprint on Su Yu.

"It seems a Human Race expert has set his sights on this kid; unfortunately for you, if a Human expert tries to target our Leopard Tribe's Heavenly Pride, I will not give you that chance!"

The elder sneers, swings his massive hand, and a potent force bursts through the void onto Su Yu.

Su Yu feels as if facing a great enemy, as though confronting a terrifying presence.

Every hair on his body instantly stands on end.

In the next instant, that potent energy sweeps Su Yu entirely, erasing Li Zhangsheng's soul imprint.

After completing this, the dreadful energy finally vanishes completely.

The elder looks at Su Yu with satisfaction.

"Truly worthy of our Leopard Tribe's Heavenly Pride; facing my power, you remain neither arrogant nor restless. That guy Luo Hou may be simple‑minded, but his offspring are decent."

"If there's a chance, I can recommend him to the Leopard King; perhaps our tribe will produce another Marquis-level Expert!"

The elder smiles faintly and immediately withdraws from the formation.

He sat again atop the high tower, his eyes dim and hazy, as if he would fall asleep any moment.

But at this moment, Su Yu's whole body kept trembling.

Within that power lurked a force capable of completely annihilating Su Yu's body and soul.

Fortunately that power seemed not hostile toward Su Yu; otherwise he would likely have been annihilated by that energy.

He also didn't know that Li Zhangsheng had unintentionally left a soul imprint on him, letting him evade detection by a Marquis-level Expert.

If he knew, he would surely be immensely grateful.

At this moment, high above the nine heavens, Li Zhangsheng, who continually concealed his form, also furrowed his brows slightly.

"My soul power seems to have been erased by a force?"

Li Zhangsheng glanced warily at the light curtain.

"As expected of the Leopard clan's formation; it can even detect my soul imprint."

Li Zhangsheng then shook his head, paying little heed.

He had already memorized Su Yu's appearance; even without the soul imprint he could recognize him.

At that time the soul imprint's existence was merely a precaution.

Shaking his head, Li Zhangsheng continued hiding among the nine heavens' cloud layers, drinking the fine wine from the wine gourd.

That wine gourd was like a bottomless pit, holding endless fine wine, impossible to finish.

"Still, coming out to relax is nice; in Hidden Dragon City there are far too many rules!"

Li Zhangsheng let out a long, relaxed whistle.

At the same time.

Su Yu cautiously glanced around, saw no one noticing him, then sighed in relief and proceeded into the city.

Upon entering the city, no one stopped him.

Leopard Chong's identity granted Su Yu the most precious status in this city, allowing him not to worry too much.

According to memory, Su Yu arrived beside a splendid great building.

Here was where Leopard Chong resided.

Upon entering, numerous Leopard Clan beauties came forward to greet him.

"Young City Lord, you've finally returned; we've been waiting eagerly!"

"Yes, Young City Lord, your departure left us anxious; we miss you!"

Each Leopard Clan beauty pulled Su Yu's arm, constantly showing off their alluring poses.

It almost felt as if they wanted to devour Su Yu.

Su Yu's mouth twitched slightly.

To the Leopard Clan these might be top-tier beauties, but by human aesthetic standards they are hard to stomach.

Su Yu suppressed his nausea and roared loudly.

"Get lost, can't you see I'm annoyed, Young Lord!"

Several Leopard Clan beauties startled, quickly released their hold on Su Yu's arms, and knelt.

"Please spare us, Young City Lord; we won't dare again!"

Su Yu waved his hand in disgust.

"Scram!"

"Oh right, bring in the guy who told me there were heavenly treasures beyond the light curtain—damn, it's fake!"

Su Yu rebuked.

The so-called drill must be carried out fully; now that I've returned, following Leopard Chong's previous temperament, he'll surely cause trouble.

To smoothly obtain the inheritance in the secret realm a few days later, Su Yu must, these days, act according to Leopard Chong's temperament and cause a big ruckus here.

After driving away the Leopard Clan beauties, Su Yu came to the room, sat down, extended his perception, and began to sense the surroundings.

"One Star Ancestor Master, three Flying Heaven Realm, ten Golden Body Realm—to guard Leopard Chong, that's quite a heavy hand!"

Soon Su Yu roughly understood the guard situation.

After doing all that, Su Yu quietly sat in a chair, waiting for his subordinates to arrive.

After an unknown time, several Leopard Clan guards brought a fat Leopard person into the hall.

"Report to Young City Lord, the person has been brought!"

The lead guard waved his hand, directly throwing that Leopard person onto the ground.

The Leopard person knelt on the ground, continuously begging for mercy.

"Young City Lord, spare me! I'm merely following Leopard Yan Young Master's orders to give you false information, Young City Lord!"

"It's all Leopard Yan Young Master's doing; I have nothing to do with it!"

Su Yu's eyebrows slightly rose.

Su Yu knew this Leopard Yan was the son of a Great Sun Grand Master powerhouse in the city, usually at odds with Leopard Chong.

He hadn't expected it to be this guy's doing.

"Leopard Yan?"

Su Yu's eyebrows slightly rose; in here, it seemed something significant was afoot.

Leopard Yan had this guy tell Leopard Chong there were heavenly treasures; Leopard Chong went there but found nothing.

"Could it really be that simple?"

Su Yu didn't believe it.

"Tell me in detail."

Su Yu asked lightly.

Immediately, the leopard-man then told everything he knew.

After hearing everything, Su Yu's gaze became somewhat strange.

All of this, actually because of a leopard tribe woman?
