Chapter 140: The Yielding Snow Empress
Taking advantage of the chaos, Su Yu had already changed his position; otherwise, he would never believe that the ground where he had originally dug a hole would be perfectly fine.
However, the current situation was not optimistic, as Xue Di was now planning to perish together with both sides completely.
Su Yu had completely relocated to another spot, and his current position was very close to the Mingde Hall side; mainly, he dared not get too close to the Body Sect side, as he was, after all, barely considered a student of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Guidance Academy, and a Shrek exchange student at that, so following the Mingde Hall side provided some security.
After the commotion caused by the Body Sect and Xue Di, the entire underground base was a mess; experimental tables, equipment, and those Soul Guidance Devices were mostly destroyed, and with such losses, it was no wonder they targeted the Heaven Soul Empire first.
All three parties had fallen into a delicate balance, and while reinforcements for Mingde Hall were still arriving in a steady stream, the Body Sect showed no intention of retreating at all.
Their goal was Xue Di above, but they all assumed it was just a 100,000-year Soul Beast about to undergo reconstruction, having no idea which true master they had offended.
Having been sealed by the Sealing God Platform for several years, Xue Di's strength was greatly diminished, not to mention that in the process of choosing reconstruction, one's own strength would be drastically reduced.
This resulted in the original Ice Sky Snow Woman turning into the current appearance of a two or three-year-old little girl.
With snow-white, tender skin and a white gauze dress wrapping her slightly chubby, baby-like body, looking at that cute appearance, Su Yu knew that things were truly difficult to resolve now.
"Yi Lao, can you help me simulate the kind of ice aura and power that was on Huo Yu Hao back then?"
Taking advantage of the time to prepare, Su Yu could only pin his hopes on Yi Lao; if he could not communicate with Xue Di, he would have to use Yi Lao's and his own Fate Power and Spirit Power to protect Xue Di's origin power, otherwise, given Xue Di's temperament, she would never reside in the body of a human like Su Yu, even if she died.
Because they were underground, neither side dared to use large-scale destructive weapons or soul skills; otherwise, if a collapse occurred, it was true that Jing Hongchen and Du Busi could protect themselves, but the others might not be so lucky.
Not everyone had the ability to tunnel or protect themselves, especially in this Mingde Hall located at an unknown depth underground.
"Xue Di, Xue Di..."
Although Su Yu was now using Yi Lao's help to successfully simulate the appearance and aura of the Ice Empress, he still did not receive a response from the other party while communicating with Xue Di.
The next instant, Su Yu suddenly widened his eyes, seeing Xue Di's body completely enveloped by a layer of white freezing air; this freezing air made her appear as a spherical shape, with a diameter of about two meters. Yet, such a mass of freezing air, which could even freeze light, became her best protection.
"Hum—" A harsh buzzing sound erupted instantly, and then, within that crimson Crystal Ball, a cluster of fine, red, thread-like light burst forth.
It's over, she's going to self-destruct; no, I can only forcibly gather Xue Di's origin power into my Spirit Sea.
"Despicable humans, one day, you will pay the price for hunting us Soul Beasts. Even if I die, I will never satisfy your filthy minds. All of you—go—to—hell—."
As these words were spoken, a huge roar instantly resounded in Mingde Hall, and that powerful strength was detonated in this instant...
Fortunately, both sides had a tacit understanding and did not continue to attack; the Mingde Hall side had already continuously used over a dozen Level 9 Soul Guidance Devices, all to reduce the impact caused by Xue Di's explosion.
Just after Xue Di exploded, Su Yu instantly activated the Eternal Frozen Domain and the Ice Empress Bodyguard; regardless of whether Xue Di noticed or not, all he could do now was to attract Xue Di's attention as much as possible.
Amidst the explosion, a mass of transparent liquid landed on Su Yu along with the Eternal Frozen Domain; even though Su Yu used the Ice Empress Bodyguard, he could not withstand this extreme cold, a cold that seemed to want to freeze Su Yu's very soul.
In just a few seconds, Su Yu could feel that his blood had been almost completely frozen, and this terrifying chill was still continuously seeping into his body.
At this critical moment, Yi Lao took action, continuously separating Xue Di's power from Su Yu's body, finally condensing it together, and under Yi Lao's control, placing it into Su Yu's Spirit Sea.
"You are not Bing'er, you, how could you have Bing'er's power, you..." A weak voice sounded in Su Yu's Spirit Sea.
"You had better behave yourself; in your current state, once you leave his Spirit Sea, you will only end up with your origin dissipating." Yi Lao was not polite either, stating it directly.
"Human, what exactly do you want to do? Don't even think about enslaving me again. If you also want to absorb me as a Soul Ring, even if I die, I won't let you succeed!" Xue Di's emotions were exceptionally agitated; although her cultivation had long since dissipated for the most part following that self-detonation, in her current state, she still had the ability to perish together with Su Yu.
Just then, Su Yu appeared in the Spirit Sea and slowly said: "Do you think it's useful to say these things now? Since I can gather your origin power in my Spirit Sea, I can also scatter it. The initiative is in my hands now, not yours. I hope you understand the situation, Xue Di!"
Su Yu bit the last two words, "Xue Di," with extra emphasis; this action was not only to warn Xue Di but also to intimidate her.
Since I have the ability to let you live, I also have the ability to let you die, not to mention that I also know your identity.
"There are some things I will tell you in the future, but during this time, I hope you can stay in my Spirit Sea and behave yourself, because if you can't do that, perhaps you might never see your good sister, the Ice Empress, again."
When dealing with the current Xue Di, one must absolutely not be soft; once soft, the other party would only look down on him even more. What needs to be done now is to give her a big stick first, then a candy.
As long as Xue Di has hope for survival, or has a place to entrust herself, at least for a short time, there won't be any problems.
"Bing'er, to actually know where Bing'er is..." Xue Di, who was in Su Yu's Spirit Sea, had long been shocked beyond measure.
After her self-detonation, in order to seek a glimmer of survival, she followed the Ice Empress's aura and found this place; she thought she had found where the Ice Empress was, but who knew she would encounter a human.
Most importantly, this human actually knew her identity and even possessed the Ice Empress's power!
All of this was too fantastical for her; a human who had the ability to gather her origin power and could also place it intact in his Spirit Sea!
Fortunately, Xue Di was not a stubborn person like the Ice Empress; after weighing the pros and cons and throwing a series of harsh words at Su Yu, she fell into a deep sleep.
However, it was fortunate that Yi Lao's methods were powerful enough; in order to accommodate Xue Di's origin power, he actually used Su Yu's Spirit Sea as a foundation and, under Yi Lao's powerful ability, forcibly created an extremely stable space. The reason it was stable was that Su Yu's body did not house a large group of people like Huo Yu Hao's did.
Tian Meng, the Ice Empress, and Yi Lao.
Tian Meng occupied the place of the spirit martial soul in Huo Yu Hao's Spirit Sea, while the Ice Empress occupied the place of the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion martial soul in Huo Yu Hao's Spirit Sea; conversely, Su Yu only had a sleeping Purple-Eyed Demon Dragon in his body, and this guy was still in a soul state.
As for Yi Lao, he was quite comfortable in the Eye of Life, so using the entire Spirit Sea as a foundation, accommodating Xue Di alone was not difficult.
Although Xue Di had thought about dying several times, she thought of the Ice Empress mentioned by Su Yu; could this human really lead her to find the Ice Empress?
If not, then where did the Ice Empress's power in this human's body come from?
Various facts proved that the human in front of her was indeed related to the Ice Empress; if he weren't related to the Ice Empress, how could he possibly know her true identity?
…………
Various questions filled Xue Di's mind. Just as Xue Di was pondering, Electrolux slowly appeared in Xue Di's field of vision: "Your spirit consciousness is more powerful than any creature I have ever seen; even that little scorpion and little worm combined are not as good as you."
"Little scorpion, little worm? Human, what exactly are you talking about?" Xue Di looked at Electrolux in confusion; she could feel that the human who appeared in front of her was stronger than the youth from before, and to some extent, the other party was even more powerful than herself!
Electrolux slowly said: "Perhaps if I put it another way, you should be clearer: that 400,000-year Ice Jade Empress Scorpion, and the million-year Ice Silkworm."
"Even you know Bing'er?" Xue Di's eyes were already filled with confusion; what exactly did these two humans want to do?
"Although your spirit consciousness can stabilize for a short time, your own power is still too vast. The seal I have applied can only be maintained for a period of time. When my seal expires, how you choose will be up to you."
After speaking, Electrolux left the Spirit Sea and returned to the space of the Eye of Life.
Finally, he had stabilized this grand dame. Seeing that Xue Di had quieted down, Su Yu also exited the Spirit Sea and returned to reality.
Fortunately, the aftermath of the explosion did not cause him too much damage. After the subsequent rescue personnel of Mingde Hall arrived, Su Yu was also carried out, and after simple treatment, he was sent out of Mingde Hall.
After leaving Mingde Hall, the first thing Su Yu did was to immediately separate the items in his Soul Guidance Device. The subsequent search would likely begin in four or five days; what Su Yu had to do was to hand the items to Elder Chen without anyone knowing, and finally send them to Mu Hanyan, to be delivered to Su Xinyuan.
Just as everyone was busy tidying up Mingde Hall, Su Yu happened to go find the Shrek students who were studying in Xuan Ziwen's laboratory, and Luo Yu also happened to appear in Xuan Ziwen's laboratory.
Just like that, the items were passed to Luo Yu without anyone knowing.
No one would suspect a disciple of the Hall Master of Mingde Hall, and Luo Yu, a person who would not be suspected by anyone, thus brought the broken Sealing God Platform and Number One Experimental Subject out of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Guidance Academy.
After leaving the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Guidance Academy, Luo Yu handed the items to Elder Chen in an unmanned place at the first opportunity; after all, Elder Chen knew that he had disguised himself as Luo Yu back then.
As for the fact that Luo Yu was his own clone, besides himself, there were only four people who knew: Su Xinyuan, Elder Chen, Mu Hanyan, and Yi Lao.
Just like that, Number One Experimental Subject was sent into the hands of Su Xinyuan without anyone knowing.
When Su Xinyuan received Number One Experimental Subject, he also received a letter from Su Yu at the same time.
In the letter, it was strictly forbidden to research or dismantle this thing; it could only be sealed away. Once exposed, the Su Family would face a manhunt from the entire Sun Moon Empire!
After seeing this letter, Su Xinyuan was so scared he nearly fainted; it turned out that when his son was attacked at Mingde Hall, he had also conveniently snatched back a fat sheep.
"You little bastard, when you get back, unless you can beat me, even if your mother tries to stop me, I'm going to tan your hide!"
Angry as he was, Su Xinyuan had also studied Soul Guidance Devices; after all, he was a student of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy, so he naturally knew how outrageous this thing was.
Within a few short days, the news of Mingde Hall in the Sun Moon Empire being attacked and suffering heavy losses had already spread throughout the Douluo Continent, and subsequently, Mingde Hall issued a kill order directly against the Body Sect; one could guess that it was the Body Sect who had done it.
Of course, regarding this kind of matter, the Heavenly Soul Empire certainly had to absolve itself, otherwise, it would be a direct admission.
In any case, the Heavenly Soul Empire simply refused to admit that the Body Sect had done it, and besides, the other side had no evidence.
It was precisely because of this incident that Jing Hongchen was also severely punished by the Emperor of the Sun Moon Empire; originally, Jing Hongchen had no connection with His Highness the Crown Prince, but His Highness the Crown Prince had indeed seized the opportunity to plead for Jing Hongchen, which was how he escaped disaster.
After this incident, this His Highness the Crown Prince also completely solidified his position.
Sure enough, on the third day, a school-wide investigation began.
Looking at the teacher in charge of the investigation opposite him, Su Yu knew, let them search, I don't have it anyway.
However, he couldn't just be searched so easily; otherwise, wouldn't all the Soul Guidance design blueprints he had drafted be treated as stolen goods?
"I am going to conduct a thorough inspection of you. Please put all the Soul Guidance Devices on your person into your Storage Soul Guidance Device, and then hand the Storage Soul Guidance Device to me; there cannot be any omissions." The teacher in charge of the inspection slowly took out a metal rod, and looking at this thing, Su Yu thought of the metal detectors often used in school to check for mobile phones...
