Chapter 261: Daxia Shaken!

The voice was like thunder, resounding throughout all of Mie Long Cheng.

In an instant, the expressions of countless Slay Dragon Army soldiers became incomparably solemn.

Including Mad Blade Marquis, Mad King, and Yin Ghost King, the three of them.

For a time, the Slay Dragon Army throughout all of Mie Long Cheng bowed one after another toward Su Yu and Li Zhangsheng.

"Congratulations to the Young Marshal! Congratulations to Marquis Changsheng!"

The waves of sound rolled forth, their momentum like a rainbow.

As if they would shatter the entire sky completely.

"Congratulations to the Young Marshal! Congratulations to Marquis Changsheng!"

"Congratulations to the Young Marshal! Congratulations to Marquis Changsheng!"

The waves of sound came one after another, as if announcing to the entire world.

Hearing this voice, Su Yu felt much more comfortable all over.

Li Zhangsheng at the side, though somewhat helpless toward Su Yu's actions, also slightly cupped his hands and bowed toward the entire Slay Dragon Army upon hearing the many soldiers' congratulations to him.

Afterward, Su Yu and Li Zhangsheng entered Mie Long Cheng.

Li Zhangsheng returned to his own room to rest; after all, having just broken through to the Marquis realm, he still needed to consolidate a bit.

After this consolidation, Li Zhangsheng's strength would have another rapid leap forward!

Su Yu, on the other hand, entered the palace and was called over by Slay Dragon King.

Upon the throne, Slay Dragon King sat quietly, while below, Su Yu bowed respectfully to Slay Dragon King.

"Disciple greets Master!"

Slay Dragon King looked deeply at Su Yu, then spoke.

"Well done. I told you to give the Mist Race a warning, but you went and wiped them out entirely."

"Tell me about what happened with the Mist Race."

Su Yu obediently recounted to Slay Dragon King everything he had done in the Mist Race.

After hearing this, Slay Dragon King's expression turned somewhat strange.

"That Wu Lin probably died without even knowing why."

Su Yu fell silent for a moment, then spoke.

"Standing on different sides, it was either his death or mine. I didn't want to be the one who died."

Slay Dragon King said calmly, "I am gratified that you can understand this. You should know that on the Myriad Races Continent, all races are enemies of the Human Race. If they don't die, they are a disaster for our Human Race."

"You did very well, including the annihilation of the entire Mist Race. Actually, regardless of the old, weak, sick, and disabled, in the final analysis, they are people of another race. There is a saying you should know:"

"Those who are not of my race must have different hearts!"

Slay Dragon King looked deeply at Su Yu.

"If you face such a choice again in the future, will you stick to this choice?"

Su Yu pondered for a moment, then raised his head, revealing a trace of a smile.

"Hehe, of course!"

Su Yu considered himself no good person. He only knew that if someone offended him, he would eliminate them root and branch.

Not just the Myriad Races.

Just like the matter with the Yun family of Shu before.

He had merely offended the Wang family of Jiangnan Sheng, which later dragged in the Yun family.

If he had not taken Slay Dragon King as his master and obtained Lin Yu's legacy.

He might have already perished back then.

In this world, the weak were prey to the strong. Without tough trump cards, one needed to keep growing stronger.

And before growing stronger, Su Yu would never tolerate any hidden dangers!

Slay Dragon King smiled faintly and said.

"Alright, I think I understand. Last time, my awakening you at the Leopard Race practically opened all your meridians. I don't know what kind of dog-shit luck you brat has, but you somehow find the other side's young city lord every single time. I seriously suspect that all the young city lords in the world have a grudge against you!"

Su Yu gave a dry laugh. "I don't know about that either. Isn't it just fate!"

"Alright, the matter of the Mist Race is concluded for now. Do you know what this matter means for you?"

Slay Dragon King looked at Su Yu with a half-smile.

Su Yu scratched his head and said, "What?"

Slay Dragon King spoke slowly.

"The annihilation of the Mist Race is also a good thing for our Human Race. Although the Mist Race is only a small race, below the Transcendent Realm, the Mist Race are born assassins."

"I don't know how many of Daxia's soldiers have died at the hands of Mist Race assassins. Even my Slay Dragon Army has had quite a few experts fall to Mist Race assassins."

"The annihilation of the Mist Race has reduced Daxia's casualties. This matter has probably already spread. It won't be long before the Martial Artists Association's reward for you comes down."

Su Yu's eyes lit up.

Although he had plundered many resources from the Mist Race, Su Yu was simply that kind of greedy person.

These resources were far from enough for Su Yu.

Whether for upgrading mineral veins or for his own cultivation.

A hundred thousand energy stones seemed like a lot, but Su Yu was practically a gold-swallowing beast right now. At the same realm, the resources Su Yu needed to expend were several times that of an ordinary person, even more than ten times.

As a result, the resources Su Yu needed were also very substantial.

"This matter is quite normal. You annihilated the Mist Race. Although you relied on Li Zhangsheng, the reward for you won't be small. After all, it counts as a great merit."

"You can take this with a clear conscience. As for what the reward is, I don't know, but it certainly won't be shortchanged."

Hearing Slay Dragon King's words, Su Yu felt delighted in his heart.

"But there's one more thing I need to remind you of."

"Once the matter of the Mist Tribe spreads, your reputation on the Continent of Ten Thousand Tribes will rise. Do you still remember the Earth List of the Ten Thousand Tribes?"

Su Yu nodded.

"I remember!"

Back when we were in Hengcheng, Su Yu already knew about the existence of the Earth List and the Heaven List.

The Earth List targets the Human Race's Heavenly Proud—those under twenty‑five—granting a ranking based on the threat they pose to the Ten Thousand Tribes.

Anyone who can slay the monsters on the Earth List can reap considerable benefits among the Three Races.

As for the Heaven List, it concerns the Human Race's top‑tier elites.

And the Slay Dragon King holds the top spot on the Heaven List.

But at the level of the Slay Dragon King, even being on the Heaven List, no one dares to assassinate him.

To behead the Slay Dragon King, it would take a half‑emperor‑level powerhouse, and even then, success is not guaranteed.

Just as what happened last time in Mie Long Cheng.

The Divine Emperor was directly driven back by the Slay Dragon King.

"Eradicating the Mist Tribe may be Li Zhangsheng's deed, but you took part in it, and for the Ten Thousand Tribes, your danger level spiked instantly."

"Thus your rank on the Earth List will quickly rise, and many will attack you without hesitation, including some Human Race elites."

The Slay Dragon King said in a deep voice.

"Before a treasure, anyone might betray their own heart. Though the conflict between the Human Race and the Ten Thousand Tribes is already irreconcilable, don't forget that there are still Ten Thousand Tribe traitors among the Human Race."

Listening to the Slay Dragon King's words, Su Yu gradually fell silent.

Indeed, Su Yu hadn't thought of that.

The existence of the Earth List is an extremely tempting thing for anyone.

I was already on the Earth List before, though my rank wasn't high then. Yet even so, at that time, Ten Thousand Tribe elites spent great costs to forge the Wanzu Tongdao.

All for me.

Of course, part of it is because I am a disciple of the Slay Dragon King.

But it also shows the danger of being on the Earth List.

Su Yu's eyes kept flickering.

The Slay Dragon King said with a grin, "Afraid?"

Su Yu gave a faint smile and said, "Not really afraid. I was just wondering whether those assassins will carry treasures; if so, I won't lack cultivation resources and can just wait for them to chase me."

The Slay Dragon King's smile gradually turned stiff.

He hadn't expected that Su Yu's thought would be like this.

The Slay Dragon King fell silent.

"Alright, alright, I think I now know you, kid—you fear neither heaven nor earth, and I have no idea who you're comparable to."

He slowly looked at Su Yu and said.

"I've been your master for so long and haven't had a chance to give you anything. Are you interested in me teaching you a few moves?"

Hearing the Slay Dragon King's words, Su Yu's eyes instantly lit up.

"Willing!"

The Slay Dragon King let out a chuckle, his face showing a malicious expression.

"Then, let's begin right now!"

"Huh?"

Su Yu was instantly bewildered.

Before Su Yu could react, the Slay Dragon King lifted him directly, tore the void, and vanished into the emptiness.

The next day, sunlight bathed the earth, and a vibrant vitality spread throughout the world.

With the world's awakening, a piece of news instantly roused the people of Daxia.

A post was quickly placed by the Martial Artists Association's official website.

"Qianlong Academy's Li Zhangsheng, Su Yu eradicates the Mist Tribe—congratulations to Daxia!"

The title, over a dozen characters long, was posted at eight in the morning.

Within just a few minutes, it instantly became the number one trending search online.

"What! The Mist Tribe was actually eradicated! What's going on?"

"Sss, why is Su Yu showing up again? This guy never stays still wherever he goes."

"But being restless is good; this directly eradicated the Ten Thousand Tribes. The last time a race was eradicated was decades ago, so this is the first such event since the Slay Dragon King—another tribe wiped out. No wonder he's a disciple of the Slay Dragon King!"

Someone couldn't help but exclaim.

"Truly worthy of being the Human Race's Heavenly Proud, to be able to eradicate the Mist Tribe. Though it's a small tribe, I've heard the Mist Tribe are born assassins; many of Daxia's men have died at their hands."

"That Mist Tribe is indeed hateful, but now they're completely eradicated, which is a good thing for all of Daxia."

Online, enthusiastic netizens kept expressing themselves.

Clearly, this matter stirred up a wave across the entire internet.

Meanwhile, within the Martial Artists Association.

The Martial King looked at the documents in his hand, then placed them on the table, took a sip of water, and gave a faint smile.

"No wonder he's a disciple of the Slay Dragon King, to have done the same thing as the Slay Dragon King."

Beside the Martial King, a middle‑aged man hesitated briefly and said.

"Martial King, wasn't the eradication of the Mist Tribe done by Li Zhangsheng? Though Su Yu was by his side and likely contributed, I don't think all the credit should fall on Su Yu."

The Martial King crossed his legs, gave a slight smile, and said.

"Pattern, your pattern is too small!"

The middle-aged man froze.

Martial King said with a smile, "Indeed, no matter how you look at this information, Li Zhangsheng killed the Mist King and then wiped out the entire Mist Clan, but have you ever wondered why Li Zhangsheng was able to kill the Mist King?"

"I know the relationship between Li Zhangsheng and the Mist Clan; as soon as Li Zhangsheng appears in the Mist Clan, before he even fights the Mist King, he has already clashed with the three Great Sun Grand Masters of the Mist Clan."

"Furthermore, with a Mist King added, Li Zhangsheng cannot be a match for the Mist Clan."

"Without absolute certainty of being able to kill the Mist King, how could Li Zhangsheng possibly break through to Marquis? That's his inner demon!"

Martial King said indifferently.

The middle-aged man listened attentively, and soon had a sudden realization.

"As it turns out, Su Yu's role in this is not small!"

Martial King gave a faint smile.

"Alright, the destruction of the Mist Clan is also a good thing for our Human Race; if I'm not mistaken, the myriad races over there should also know."

"You don't need me to tell you what to do next, right?"

Martial King glanced indifferently at the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man gave a slight smile, then left the room.

Immortal Race

The Immortal Emperor sat cross-legged on a futon; his whole person seemed like an ordinary old man, with wrinkles on his face piled up to the point they could even crush a fly.

He slowly opened his eyes, his eyes extremely turbid, yet faintly one could see within the Immortal Emperor's eyes a subtle profound fluctuation spreading.

"The Mist Clan has been wiped out!"

Immortal Emperor said indifferently.

Instantly, the void around the Immortal Emperor twisted, and figures appeared one after another beside him, each exuding a powerful fluctuation.

They were all King-Conferred Strong Ones.

They silently gazed at the Immortal Emperor, and a King-Conferred one asked:

"Your Majesty, do we need to put pressure on the Human Race?"

Immortal Emperor said indifferently.

"It's just a measly Mist Clan; wiped out is wiped out. The Mist Clan is nothing compared to the Dragon Clan; aside from being able to kill some insignificant ants below the Supernatural Realm, it has no use at all."

"Bring up Su Yu's name on the Earth Ranking."

Everyone nodded, and a King-Conferred one hesitated for a moment, then said:

"Your Majesty, I don't know what rank would be appropriate for placing Su Yu."

Immortal Emperor glanced at the speaker, then spoke in a hoarse voice.

"Third!"

Instantly, the bodies of all the Immortal Race King-Conferred ones trembled.

Daxia

Just as everyone was happily rejoicing from the bottom of their hearts over the Mist Clan's destruction, an order was issued from the Qianlong Academy.

"Su Yu, Li Zhangsheng, for meritorious service in wiping out the Mist Clan, the exile punishment on Su Yu is revoked; return to school immediately!"

As soon as the news came out, it instantly attracted the attention of many.

However, our protagonist is completely unaware of all this at the moment.

In a certain specific space.

Su Yu sat cross-legged on the ground, drenched in sweat, his face constantly twitching as if enduring some terrible pain.

And above Su Yu's head, a huge grindstone slowly turned.
