Chapter 264: Familiar Past Events

However, history has now deviated from its original course, and many things have changed.

"Teacher, I would like to ask you a question." Looking at Yi Lao, who was still constantly deducing, Su Yu intended to ask about the doubts in his heart.

"Ask away, what strange ideas does your brat have this time?" Yi Lao looked at Su Yu and stopped the magic in his hands.

"Teacher, in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, are there any immortal herbs that can help you recover, or is there any other method to help you recover?"

As Yi Lao's disciple, with so many years having passed, Yi Lao still remained a remnant divine consciousness, and Su Yu also hoped that Yi Lao could recover as soon as possible.

"No. If you really want to talk about methods, the only way I can think of at the moment is to let time pass to allow me to slowly recover, or..."

"Or what..."

"Divine power. To use the terms of your world, it is divine power. Of course, there is another method, which is to let the Undead Semi-Plane completely sublimate and become a complete plane. As the founder of the Undead Semi-Plane, I would naturally be able to benefit from it, or perhaps take a step further."

Hearing this, Su Yu silently noted Yi Lao's words. The Abyss Monarch ten thousand years later was only a Second-Level God; the current Abyss Monarch was at most a Super Douluo. If there was an opportunity, with the help of the Silver Dragon King's power, he could break through the blockade, kill the Abyss Monarch, and then...

Swallow the Abyss Plane!

However, these were all plans for the future...

"Why, does your brat want to give me a hand?" Yi Lao smiled and looked at Su Yu kindly.

Su Yu looked at Yi Lao and nodded, "Although this disciple does not yet have the ability to help Teacher recover, in the future, I will definitely make Teacher recover."

"Teacher accepts your good intentions. Now, go and finish your own business first. This training session was barely acceptable. When I encounter a difficult problem, you can come again; I need to go into seclusion to study."

Yi Lao issued an order to leave without ceremony, and with a wave of his large hand, Su Yu was pushed out of the Undead Semi-Plane.

Just as he walked out of the room, outside, Su Yu saw two familiar figures.

That Ji Juechen, who possessed an appearance no less than Wang Dong'er's cross-dressing, and Jing Ziyan, who was traveling with him.

To this day, looking at the two of them standing side by side, it was clear that the progress of their relationship was really a bit too slow.

A stone is hard to enlighten.

"I want to fight you again. As long as I fight one more time, I will be able to have a breakthrough." Ji Juechen's words were short, but his purpose was very clear.

"So you traveled all this way just to fight me?" Su Yu looked at Ji Juechen and Jing Ziyan, frowning slightly.

Jing Ziyan nodded slightly and said, "Not entirely, but that is the main purpose."

"Are you sure? Do you need me to hold back?" Su Yu did not waste words; he knew Ji Juechen's temperament.

Ten minutes later, a man and a woman lay on the Su Family's Martial Arts Arena with bruised and swollen faces. Looking at their disheveled state, it was clear that they had fallen into a coma due to the exhaustion of their soul power.

"Someone, help them down and send them to the guest room. Remember to throw them onto the same bed."

Su Yu clapped his hands, stretched his body, and ordered the servants to take them away.

Gazing at the sky already pressed down by dark clouds, Su Yu sighed slowly, "What should come will eventually come..."

Shrek Academy, Sea God Pavilion.

"The Sun Moon Empire has made new concessions. They said that if the Three Great Empires can agree to our exchange program, they can release a portion of the hostages after the official exchange begins. This is the greatest concession they have made." Huo Yu Hao stated the latest negotiation news.

"We no longer have room to bargain on this matter; agree to them. The top academies of the Three Great Empires also have invitations for exchange and study. Clearly, the Sun Moon Empire has begun to realize the fusion of Soul Guidance Devices and Soul Masters. Among the representatives of these people, those few official team members are the most successful examples. Shaozhe, write back to the Three Great Empires and say that Shrek agrees. At the same time, tell the Sun Moon Empire that when handing over the hostages, Luo Yu must be present in person, and the handover of hostages is also set in Maple Leaf City."

Xuan Lao looked at the latest news submitted by Huo Yu Hao; he knew that the current situation could no longer be negotiated for much more. This was the ultimatum Luo Yu had given him.

"But this exchange program is clearly disadvantageous to us, we..." Xian Lin'er was somewhat dissatisfied, but her words were immediately interrupted by Xuan Lao.

"There are no more 'buts'. This is a condition we must accept. When we decided to launch a night raid on Mingdu, we should have been prepared for today. If we continue to bargain, the elites of the Three Great Empires will truly be buried in our hands. We no longer have any bargaining chips!"

This meeting was very brief, focusing more on confirming the handover of the hostages.

Three days later, Maple Leaf City.

The envoys of the Three Great Empires entered with Xuan Lao. On the square of Maple Leaf City, Jing Hongchen stood with Meng Hongchen, Xiao Hongchen, and Luo Yu.

Just like that scene from five years ago, it felt exceptionally familiar.

"It has been several years, Dean Yan is still as elegant as ever." Jing Hongchen laughed.

Yan Shaozhe replied indifferently, "Hall Master is also as elegant as ever. Since we agreed to meet here for the handover today, I hope the Hall Master will not break his word. After all, this is a major matter concerning the diplomacy of the Three Great Empires."

Listening to Yan Shaozhe's words, Jing Hongchen nodded slightly. Behind Jing Hongchen, Luo Yu spoke slowly, "That is natural, no need for Dean Yan to worry. Someone, bring them up."

"Although their mental state is not very good, I can guarantee to Dean Yan that during the time they were imprisoned, our Sun Moon Empire did not mistreat them."

A group of captives wearing shackles were sent to the center of the square. When they saw the people, the envoys of the Three Great Empires showed expressions of disappointment.

Because these people were only the batch of students and sect members who were eliminated earliest; those they were looking forward to seeing were still not there.

"I trust your character, but I also hope your side will continue to abide by our agreement." Yan Shaozhe looked at Luo Yu; for some reason, his heart recalled the youth who had led the team back then.

Similar, too similar...

"Since Shrek is so sincere, I have a proposal. I wonder what Dean Yan thinks?" Looking at Yan Shaozhe's expression, Luo Yu said with interest.

Xuan Lao looked at Luo Yu and asked, "What do you want to say?"

"This time is just the beginning of our cooperation, so for the first batch of students, we will only send twenty people. For the next batch, we will send forty. So, to show our sincerity, we will release five more hostages in the future. At the same time, we also hope that the top academies of the Three Great Empires can participate in the cooperation. If they are willing to participate, we will continue to release hostages."

As he spoke, five more hostages were sent out.

The five people sent out, although weak in aura, had nothing wrong with their bodies.

"That is natural, I hope we have a pleasant cooperation." Yan Shaozhe did not want to say anything more to the youth in front of him.

He knew that if it came to the level of being troublesome, the youth in front of him was definitely ranked first in his heart. The incident in Mingdu last time had already given him enough understanding of this young man; he knew the youth in front of him was definitely not that simple.

The various intelligence Shrek obtained in Mingdu also confirmed that the youth in front of him was definitely not as simple as just being Jing Hongchen's disciple. Although they could not spy out Luo Yu's background, they could infer some clues from the events that occurred in Mingdu.

"Pleasant cooperation."

…………

A batch of unfamiliar students, carrying anticipation and joy, left with Yan Shaozhe under the leadership of Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen.

"Luo Yu, are you really so sure that sending the two of them to Shrek is the best choice?" Jing Hongchen was somewhat reluctant; he truly did not want to send Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen to the Three Great Empires.

"Teacher, I am your own disciple, how could I possibly harm you? The Three Great Empires indeed cannot be trusted too much, but Shrek can be trusted. Moreover, Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen have learned almost everything they need to learn about Soul Guidance Devices. Now, what they need to do is to continue to improve their strength as Soul Masters. There is not much time, only half a year. Teacher, rest assured."

Luo Yu looked at Jing Hongchen; he knew Jing Hongchen's worries. Shrek's Inner Court was a good place, at least it could resolve the drawbacks in Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen's cultivation.

Jing Hongchen was not a fool; he naturally knew Luo Yu's intentions.

"Let's go, it's that familiar exchange and study session again. Remember to have the juniors from the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Guidance Academy treat them well."

"Understood, Captain..." Leiqier chuckled, nudging Sheng Hongyun beside him with his elbow.

"Got it, got it." Fang Wei nodded, his face expressionless.

…………

"Your Majesty, the personnel handover has been completed successfully. Many academies from the Three Great Empires have also responded. Should I have Luo Yu handle it?" Ju Zi organized the intelligence and handed it to Xu Tianran.

Xu Tianran waved his hand and continued, "Leave it to him. What we need to do now is resolve the military matters; let those old fogies in the imperial court tangle with the rest. As for Luo Yu, let him act freely."

Looking at that familiar scene, just like five years ago, it was another batch of Shrek students here for an exchange.

He knew that the number of students from the Three Great Empires would only increase, but he was not the least bit worried about problems arising at Mingde Hall. Because the students from the Three Great Empires had no chance at all to come into contact with the core of the Sun Moon Empire.

Even if they did reach the core, it would only be the core of the past; the current core was no longer those old antiques from before. Mingde Hall was destined to endure, because the latest research in the Sun Moon Empire today had thoroughly injected fresh blood and momentum into the entire vast empire.

It brought a new era to the empire, and the core of this new era was no longer some object, but a person.

His name is Luo Yu.
