Rumble ——

The gray clouds on the sky suddenly spun, forming a giant vortex!

A purple lightning dragon flew across the sky, destroying everything in its path!

Palace Master Xue Yao's expression changed, defending himself in a hurry, "Blood Drinking Demon Slaying Blade!"

An unparalleled sword aura charged up into the heavens!

Then, colliding with the purple lightning dragon, the sword aura dissipated instantly!

The lightning dragon charged down without obstructions!

Crack ——

A strange scene ensued. While the lightning bolts were clearly immensely destructive, they did not blow Palace Master Xue Yao into pieces. Instead, Palace Master Xue Yao was turned into an ice sculpture!

"There was an extreme chilly energy harboured within the lightning!" Palace Master Feng Qing gasped, "This is the Divine Decree? The Divine Grade Divine Decree that could communicate with heaven and earth?"

Tribulation of Ice and Thunder. The Divine Grade Divine Decree that Su Yu had spent a long time cultivating.

Su Yu turned pale. Using the Divine Grade Divine Decree had taken a toll on his body.

Gradually toning down his Divine Decree, the black clouds in the sky scattered, and the weird phenomenon vanished.

Shooting an icy gaze onto Palace Master Xue Yao, Su Yu shook his head, "You dare call yourself a senior, and teach me a lesson with abilities at that level?"

Shifting his gaze, Su Yu stared at Palace Master Feng Qing, calmly saying, 'It's your turn!"

Palace Master Feng Qing's heart thumped wildly, fear filled his eyes.

Palace Master Xue Yao was frozen with just one move, what chance did he have?

"Wait!" Palace Master Feng Qing swallowed, pacifying, "Yin Yu, I admit that I might have been a little extreme. But I had good intentions, there has to be a misunderstanding!"

Even though it had come to this, Palace Master Feng Qing had no intention of admitting that he was wrong!

Su Yu shook his head, his white figure flashing!

"Thunder Star Finger!"

"Ah! Yin Yu! Don't go overboard!" Palace Master Feng Qing's expression changed, as he took multiple steps back in retreat, while speaking in a fluster.

Su Yu stared at him coldly, "Overboard? Who was the one who stood high and mighty, issuing edicts to me? Who was the one who bought an army to try to take my territory and imprison me? Who was the one who colluded with Palace Master Xue Yao to pressure me? In terms of going overboard, I am nowhere near the likes of you!"

From the beginning, it was them who were being overbearing.

Now, Su Yu was merely claiming back a little interest!

Rumble ——

Palace Master Feng Qing took three steps back, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Yin Yu! You have severely injured all of my Fengqing Guards, isn't that enough? What more do you want?" Palace Master Feng Qing was frustrated.

Su Yu let out a cold laugh, "Didn't they deserve to be injured for attacking me? When have they become the reason to spare you? You were overbearing and tried to occupy my territory, and now you wish to resolve this with one sentence?"

"Thunder Star Finger!"

Rumble ——

Palace Master Feng Qing let out a pathetic wail, as he was being assaulted and pushed to the ground. He spat out a mouthful of blood into the air.

"You are merciless!" Palace Master Feng Qing suppressed the mouthful of blood in his mouth, his heart filled with shock and hatred.

He had prepared himself to the fullest to achieve his goals, even contacting Palace Master Xue Yao to aid him, if things went sour.

But he did not expect his plans to be foiled time and time again!

The Fengqing Guards were completely defeated! His abilities did not match up to Su Yu's! Even his trump card, Palace Master Yao Yue, was sealed in ice!

Today, Palace Master Feng Qing had come, all guns blazing, but was going to return in defeat. He was going to become the laughing stock of the Empire!

Standing up with much difficulty, Palace Master Feng Qing tolerated the intense pain in his chest. He clenched his teeth as he said, "Palace Master Yin Yu! I, Feng Qing, will remember this injuries, one day I will..."

Puuuuuu ——

He could not finish his sentence before Su Yu stepped onto his abdomen, planting him back onto the ground.

Under the pressure, Palace Master Feng Qing, once again, spat out a mouthful of blood.

His eyes and mouth were open wide, as he was not expecting that Su Yu would kick him down!

"You dare threaten me, after losing to me? Do you think this can be resolved with just me injuring you?" Su Yu stepped onto his stomach, calmly saying.

Palace Master Feng Qing glared at Su Yu in fury, "You injured my Fengqing Guards and me, what more do you want?"

"What do I want?" Su Yu let out a deep laugh, shooting out a Divine Ice Thread from his finger. He pulled Palace Master Xue Yao, who was sealed in ice, closer, until they were laying together, side by side.

"The two of you colluded and tried to imprison me. You said that you were going to educate me and schemed to obtain my territory. This matter cannot be resolved with just injuring the both of you!"

"My principles are very simple. If I am given an inch of respect, I'll return that respect tenfold! Similarly, if you try to harm me, I'll return that tenfold!"

"Since the both of you seem to like imprisoning and educating people, as well as claiming the territories of others, I'll naturally return the favour!"

Hearing this, the crowd broke into a commotion!

At this moment, everyone was shocked by Su Yu's actions.

They had thought that Su Yu's outcome would be pathetic, but unexpectedly, he had repeatedly surpassed their expectations!

Finally, he had Palace Master Feng Qing and Palace Master Xue Yao under his feet!

What was even more overbearing was that he was going to return the favour, imprisoning them in the Yinyu Area and occupying both their territories!

"From today onward, the two of you will be imprisoned in the Yinyu Manor and will listen to my lectures! The Yinyu Area will absorb both your territories! I'll consider returning them to you, if your behavior is prim and proper!"

Also, the Spirit Fate Elixir that is given to you monthly shall now belong to me!" Su Yu calmly smiled.

Su Yu could not forget the ungodly effects of the Spirit Fate Elixir.

Palace Master Feng Qing was humiliated, roaring the words "I refuse!".

Puuuuu ——

Su Yu's kick was his only reply received.

"Do you have the right to reject?" Su Yu's gaze was cold.

When Palace Master Feng Qing thought that Su Yu was weak, he forcefully wanted to educate Su Yu and occupy his territory. When Su Yu was going to reject him, was he given the chance?

The matter had already been decided by him!

The events that happened in Su Yu's offering ceremony were immensely shocking!

Everyone had thought that Palace Master Yin Yu was the weakest palace master. Unexpectedly, he could defeat two palace masters that came to cause trouble!

The surprising battle had caused the hearts of the eighteen city heads to waver.

The matter had come to an end.

But Su Yu did not have any other actions.

Su Yu knelt, squinting as he said, "Palace Master Feng Qing, can you tell me why you are so obsessed with the Yinyu Area?"

The Yinyu Area was the most impoverished area, the area most devoid of resources.

The meagre offerings cannot compare to what the Fengqing Area and Xueyao area can provide.

But Palace Master Feng Qing was willing to sacrifice his right and left hand men, as well as activate the Fengqing Guards, to launch an attack.

It was understandable, if it stopped there.

But even Palace Master Xue Yao wanted a piece of the Yinyu Area. This was very weird.

The only explanation was that what they wanted was not simply the area.

Palace Master Feng Qing's pupils dilated, and covering them up in an instant, he said, "I do not understand what you are talking about..."

Puuuuuu ——

Su Yu exerted force on his leg, causing Palace Master Feng Qing to spit out another mouthful of blood.

"I do not wish to repeat what I said! Speak!"

But at this moment!

Clap Clap ——

Clapping could be heard from a corner of the crowd.

The crowd parted, revealing a youth in dazzling robes. He was clapping as he stepped forward from the crowd.

He wore a purple and gold crown, and a gold belt. This, coupled with his long blue robe, exuded a royal aura.

His face was prettier than a lady's, reflecting the sunlight to give off a warm glow.

What a handsome sir!

His abilities were also shockingly high.

He was Immortal Realm Level Two Lower Tier!

"It's the fifth vice palace master, Zang Jian!"

There were three vice palace masters that came to grace Su Yu's first offering ceremony!

The eighth vice palace master Feng Qing, the seventh vice palace master Xue Yao and the fifth vice palace master Zang Jian!

Each of their abilities was stronger than the last!

Especially the fifth vice palace master. At Immortal Realm Level Two, he was much more powerful than Feng Qing and Xue Yao!

He had not arrived before Su Yu, but from a hundred meters away, Su Yu could already feel the pressure he gave off.

Immortal Realm Level Two, at just the age of twenty three!

The Empire of Darkness lived up to its reputation. Each of the vice palace masters were dragons amongst men!

Zang Jian's skin was pale, his expression indifferent, occasionally showing disdain.

As he walked forward, he kept his gaze straight.

He only had Su Yu in his eyes.

"You have some brains to decipher that these two have ulterior motives." Zang Jian spoke slowly. Even though his tone was casual, the superiority in his demeanor was displayed to all!

Walking in front of Su Yu, Zang Jian observed Su Yu with a critical gaze, first nodding before he shook his head. He nonchalantly commented, "Your strength is in your techniques and the high level they are at. You won because your opponents did not expect that. There was some element of luck. Your weakness is that your cultivation level is too low. Return, and put some effort into cultivation, and you might have a decent future."

Su Yu did not retort.

While his words were harsh, they were not completely wrong.

Su Yu's strengths did indeed lie in his techniques. As for whether he got lucky, Su Yu did not comment.

As for the fact that Su Yu's cultivation level was lacking, Zang Jian deliberately left out the fact that Su Yu was only sixteen, four years younger than Feng Qing and Xue Yao. He did not care enough to argue.

Hearing the arrogant comments, Su Yu calmly said, "Palace Master Zang Jian, do you wish to uphold justice like Xue Yao?"

Puuuuu ——

Zang Jian laughed in disdain, "With just your abilities and minor conflict, it is not worth me interfering. I do not care how you want to play with each other!"

"But do not interrupt the important duties!" Zang Jian said.

"The reason the two of them want to claim your territory as their own is simple. There is an ancient relic in the Yinyu Area! The two of them had been secretly digging there over the years, but still did not have access to the relic. According to their plan, they would have succeeded this month. But, unexpectedly, there was a beast invasion, halting their plans. What was more unexpected was your appearance, disrupting their plans."

"To prevent news from leaking, and the need to split the treasures with a third palace master, they went to such extremes to conquer your land and attempt to imprison you."

Su Yu understood.

But to think that the position of the relic was the location Zi Yunxiang mentioned about the beast invasion?

Su Yu had intended to personally head down to inspect the area.

To think that there was a hidden relic amidst the beast invasion!

Zang Jian glanced at Su Yu, his tone impolite, "In ordinary circumstances, I would not offer you a place in the expedition with your abilities. But, since you are the palace master, I will specially allow you a place to maintain friendly relations!"

The relic was clearly in Su Yu's territory, its owner was Su Yu.

But in Zang Jian's words, he was taking pity on Su Yu, giving him a chance at the expedition!

Su Yu's expression was calm, despite the anger he felt in his heart. He did not reject, calmly saying, "Let's not drag on any longer, we set off now!"

He had two reasons.

First, it was inevitable! The existence of the relic had been made known to the world. There was little possibility that he could claim it for himself. Since that was the case, he would rather show his generosity by sharing.

Second, it split the risk! The occurrence of the beast invasion must have some correlation with the discovery of the relic. By going on the expedition with them, it would undoubtedly be safer.

Zang Jian laughed, "It seems that you understand! Let them up. The Fengqing Guards will come too!"

Su Yu released Xue Yao and undid the restraints on Feng Qing.

After half a day of preparation, Su Yu was finally ready to set off.

Before he left, Su Yu told Zi Yunxiang, "Yunxiang, you will be in charge of the matters of the city while I am gone."

Zi Yunxiang nodded, "Do not worry, I'll return the Yinyu Area to you in one piece!"

Su Yu's worry eased as he flew toward the horizon.
