While Su Yu was spamming the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion with his messages.
Inside a palace floating in the sky above the Allheaven Battlefield, a masked man raised his head and looked at the nearby elder. He said, "Elder, I did something wrong. Please take a look."
A faceless expert walked over and checked the monitor in front of the masked man. He smiled and said, "Interesting. Answer him. Since he's asking for the price, tell him. We are here to do business. If a potential customer is asking for the price, we naturally need to answer."
"But...he will be able to determine who the immortals in Heavendoom City are with this information..."
The faceless elder indifferently said, "Those immortals might not be the individuals in the index. Also, inform him that the price of information on Sunmoons starts at one drop of Sunmoon blood essence. Thus, he will have to guess himself if the immortals in the city are geniuses or Sunmoons. If he's confident enough in his guess to risk his life, he is free to not buy the information from us."
"You're wise, Elder."
The faceless elder said, "Remember to not repeat the same mistake. I saw your previous reply. You mentioned immortal geniuses when he only asked about immortals. That's a foolish mistake. Also, his first question itself might be an attempt to fish for information. It doesn't matter if his guess is correct or wrong. Do not provide any information before he makes the purchase."
"I understand."
The masked man appeared quite nervous. The faceless elder indifferently said, "Answer him. Also, if the mystic armors or immortals wish to purchase the information about Su Yu, triple the price."
"Elder, this...""Just do as told."
The faceless elder said, "Also, tell Su Yu that inside Heavendoom City, there is the option of hiring the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion to serve as his dao protector. As long as he can afford it, the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion is capable of completing any transaction he can dream of. Even if he wishes to hire Mo Duona, it will be possible as long as he can afford it."
"Yes, Elder."
The masked man did not dare to argue. He hurriedly gave Su Yu a reply.
When the faceless elder saw that, he smiled and returned to his post.
Right at that moment, a different masked man said, "Elder, someone is trying to purchase the whereabouts of Chen Yong of multiple character faction. Do we have that information?"
The masked man did not have enough authority to access that information, so he could only check with his superior.
"Chen Yong?"
The faceless elder walked over and took a look before returning to his seat. There, he started searching for any information regarding Chen Yong. After some time, he said, "That is not the information we have for now. The human Invincibles have been patrolling the Human Realm as of late. The difficulty of information gathering has increased significantly. We are still unable to locate Chen Yong."
The masked man said, "The buyer is asking for a general location. Even something as generic as the prefecture Chen Yong is hiding in is acceptable."
The faceless elder took a look at the information they had again. After a while, he replied, "Sure. Fifty thousand merit points. We will only provide the name of the prefecture Chen Yong is most likely to be in. We do not guarantee the accuracy of this information."
"Yes, Elder."
The masked man returned to work. Meanwhile, the faceless elder smiled again. How interesting. The Human Realm's multiple character faction had been generating quite a lot of business for them as of late.
A lot of people had been buying information about the multiple character faction. From the look of things, it was necessary for them to start gathering more information about the multiple character faction.
While he was deep in thought, the masked man in charge of communicating with Su Yu spoke, "Elder, Su Yu is asking if he can hire a few Invincibles to wipe out the entire mystic armor race..."
"..."
The elder was stunned momentarily. Then, he said, "Tell him yes. If he can pay the price of five Invincible ruins and ten complete Invincible corpses, he can hire even Invincibles."
"..."
The entire room sank into silence. They were all left speechless. They didn't know what to say about Su Yu. No question was too outrageous for him.
***
Heavendoom City.
Su Yu was also left speechless. Five Invincible ruins? Even if he had so many Invincible ruins, he wouldn't waste them on something like this. Were they messing with him? Then again, this was only fair since he was the one who had messed with them first.
He did not ask any other questions. He was in a pretty decent mood after saving so much money.
"Dao Cheng, Jiu Xuan..."
He looked at the ranking. Both of them were in the Earth Index. He wasn't exactly sure that these were the immortals in the city, but according to the price quoted by the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion, it would either be these two or some Sunmoons.
But the reply he received earlier referred to them as immortal geniuses. That was not a term one would usually use for Sunmoons. Instead, that term would usually be used only on those from the younger generation.
"Dao Cheng, ninth in the Earth Index, ninth-stage Cloudbreach, killed a fifth-stage Mountainsea before..."
"Jiu Xuan, sixteenth in the Earth Index, seventh-stage Cloudbreach, killed a first-stage Mountainsea before..."
Both of them were top geniuses. Dao Cheng, in particular, was very impressive. He was someone who had killed a fifth-stage Mountainsea before. This would definitely be a terrifying opponent.
He was lower in ranking than Huang Teng and Qin Fang in the Earth Index. That was mainly because of his older age and higher cultivation level. But he was also much stronger than even Lei Jue, who had only killed a first-stage Mountainsea before.
Someone with that strength could definitely enter the Heaven Index if he was a tiny bit younger.
"Jiu Xuan...this is an immortal fairy!"
Her past accomplishment of killing a first-stage Mountainsea wasn't too impressive for Su Yu. He could do so as well. How did she avoid dying in the hands of Great Qin? Didn't those Great Qin barbarians enjoy killing immortal fairies? Why hadn't Qin Fang killed her?
The immortals had quite a lot of people in the index, but these two were the only immortals in the Earth Index. There were also two immortals in the Heaven Index, but the price to purchase their information was terrifyingly high.
Of the 630 spots in the Heavenly Hunt Index, the immortals occupied around 20 spots. That was a race with a large number of young geniuses. It was also likely that they had even more young geniuses who were not active in the Allheaven Battlefield.
"My new goal...to kill the immortal fairy!"
Dao Cheng would be quite hard to kill. Su Yu was unsure if he would even be a match. But he was definitely stronger than that immortal fairy. Why did the immortals instigate the mystic armors to hunt him in the city out of nowhere? What were the immortals planning?
But deep inside, Su Yu knew that his identity as a member of the multiple character faction was most likely the reason. Otherwise, he wouldn't have attracted so much attention just by entering the Heaven Index.
People like Qin Fang had also killed a lot of people to enter the Heaven Index. Why weren't they being relentlessly hunted like him? Su Yu decided to act first and grab the initiative.
But the premise for that was for him to head deeper into the city first. He had to study the area and find some suitable buildings he could hide in. It would be way too awkward if he were to rush over after killing some people only to be stopped by a locked door. The mystic armors could unlock the doors up to the twentieth ring. What about the eighteenth ring? Or the sixteenth ring?
With enough heavenly source qi, he could probably survive there, right?? How many days could he stay there? The nine shining spheres he had obtained from the main gate were still intact. Including his heavenly source qi, he could probably outlast those people, right? They had to leave within three days, right? Also, would they have the courage to walk on the streets at night?
"If I really have no choice, I'll have to hire some people from the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion to save my life."
That was a valid option, but it was terrifyingly expensive. The starting price for a Sunmoon during the day was a hundred thousand merit points. During the night, the starting price would increase to five hundred thousand merit points. That was truly an excessive price.
The Heavenly Hunt Pavilion was too greedy. Su Yu wondered why they needed so much money.
Su Yu was no helpless lamb. Since they were trying to kill him, he would make the first move and kill them instead. Without Sunmoons, he wasn't that afraid of them. He had his characters, arts, and the talisman he received from Old Niu. All those things could be used to disguise and hide himself. If he found himself not a match, he could simply run.
"Let's start with finding some buildings I can enter. It will be better to find more of them. I'll start the operation after scouting the place. Also, I also need to leave myself a way out in case they are capable of unlocking the doors in the inner rings."
Su Yu's courage seemed to have grown tremendously after arriving at the Allheaven Battlefield.
In the Human Realm, his many misgivings had forced him to stay passive most of the time. Here, there was no such concern. If all that didn't work, he still had an ultimate trump card, one that would be extremely costly to use.
Fully opening his yang acupoint.
With his yang acupoint, he would be able to consume some peak Mountainsea blood essence and fight as a peak Mountainsea. But he could probably kiss his physical body goodbye after the fight. The damage on his body would be so heavy not even the Flesh Regrow technique of the immortals could help him.
But it didn't matter. As long as his sea of willpower remained, he could always build himself a new body and cultivate from scratch. With heavenly source qi, he would be able to reopen his acupoints rapidly. Since he had the confidence he could do it, he might as well kill all those people. Without Sunmoons, he had nothing to fear.
Of course, he wouldn't utilize his final trump card unless absolutely necessary. After all, he had paid a large price to cultivate his body to its current level. He was on the verge of completing his seventeenth body forging. If he had to give up on such a body, he would probably be greatly saddened by it.
His final trump card was the source of his confidence and recklessness. With the strength of a peak Mountainsea, even if he couldn't defeat Sunmoons, he could still escape them.
Even if he lost his body, he only needed to ensure he was not fully wiped out from existence.
"Little Furball, if I end up losing my body, remember to run with my sea of willpower."
"Sure, sure."
The little furball answered lazily. With a yawn, he returned to sleep. Of course he would run with the sea of willpower. There was still something yummy left in it. How could he run without that yummy thing?
Suddenly, a certain realization hit Su Yu. This fellow had been staying in his sea of willpower. In that case, when he challenged the main gate, was he challenging as one or two persons?
Whatever. He decided to not think about it. The past was the past. He returned his focus to his coming plan. First, he had to scout the area. Then, he could get the party started.
Maybe his rank would increase further after killing the Earth Index immortals. But that wasn't important. More importantly, he would definitely receive more heavenly rewards. Hopefully, the heavens would give him more willpower. He could even consider provoking some death spirits for some death qi to further temper his body.
After making up his mind, Su Yu set off. He noticed that the number of armored warriors in the city seemed to have increased. He did not know if these were the mystic armors or merely some individuals clad in armor. He had not bothered with giving them a closer look.
He started going deeper into the city. He discovered that there were far fewer people deeper in the city, but the place wasn't exactly empty. After entering the twentieth ring, Su Yu found that unoccupied buildings were much more plentiful in here. Barely any of the buildings were occupied.
He only checked the buildings with human architecture. The amount of death qi in these buildings would most likely be lower for a human like him. After stealthily checking several buildings, he found that even during the day, there would be death qi in the buildings here. The moment he entered these buildings, hissing sound would start ringing out around him.
This was terrifying. A large amount of heavenly source qi was required to live here if he didn't want to turn into a dead person soon.
Long before this, Mo Duona was already capable of surviving in the eighteenth ring. And he probably didn't have as much heavenly source qi as Su Yu. From this, one could imagine just how powerful his body was.
Su Yu continued scouting the city. He spent the entire day doing so.
The mystic armors were also doing the same. It was quite inconvenient to carry out their plan during the day as their target would be free to move around. At night, everyone would stay indoors, including their target. That was the best time for them to capture their trapped target.
Both parties were busy making their preparations. At the same time, the mayor of the city was sipping wine while overlooking the entire city from his residence. With a faint smile on his face, he awaited the start of the show.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of him. The newcomer first looked at the inner hall before looking at the mayor. The figure coldly said, "Tian He, focus. I'll be here to collect my debt soon."
The mayor gave the visitor a glance and said, "If the others agree, I will have no problem doing my part. Also, are you not going to do something for the little fellow from your race?"
The visitor took a single glance at the city and said, "Everyone has their own destiny. The immortals have been getting impatient. It's not a bad idea to kill a few and teach them a lesson."
"How confident. Can that little fellow even handle them?"
"If he can't, he can simply run. If not, that makes him a fool."
He said, "Didn't you tell that bird to inform him about the situation? If he's still not running, he definitely has the confidence to deal with them. If he stays even without confidence, he's a fool. Humanity has no need for a fool like that. If he dies, so be it."
"Were you here earlier?"
"No. I just arrived."
Tian He exclaimed with admiration, "Looks like you're already as strong as Invincibles. Xia Longwu, I do look forward to your success. But your odds aren't looking very good. Even if you fail, I'll still be collecting my payment of a minor realm under Xia Family's control. Do not break your promise."
"I never go back on my words."
Xia Longwu said indifferently, "Just don't drag me down when the time comes for you to make your move. I'll be taking my leave since I have more things to do."
Then, he vanished with a flicker. After his departure, Mayor Tian He gasped with admiration yet again. That person was truly powerful. And...he was truly brazen as well. Was he not afraid that the person in the inner hall would open his eyes and glare him to death?
