Half an hour later.

With a look of disappointment, Su Yu said through voice transmission, "Forget it. We'll settle with a massage tonight. Do you want to do it together or separately, Brother Huang? We'll take a good rest tonight. Starting from tomorrow morning, we will search the entire city. I can also try visiting Su Yu's teachers or something like that."

"Sure."

Huang He did not mind that, but he wasn't very hopeful that they would find anything. The two separated.

Leaving two massage therapists with him, Su Yu yawned and said, "Massage my legs for me. I'm very tired. If you're good, I'll reward you nicely."

The two massage therapists were overjoyed to hear that. They started rubbing his legs with all their strength. Meanwhile, Huang He was laughing to himself as he walked away from the room. He was happy with this arrangement. If he actually went to a brothel with a loudmouth like Cui Lang, everyone would learn about his night escapades by tomorrow morning.

Nanyuan wasn't even a big city. Everyone would know it. Cui Lang might be shameless, but Huang He wasn't. In fact, he had deliberately brought Su Yu to this place. The massage therapists were old ladies instead of young beauties, but they were actually quite skilled at massage.

While yawning, Su Yu released a long breath. Slowly, the eyes of the two massage therapists turned murky. But before long, they returned to normal. Su Yu was still the same, yawning lazily on the massage chair.

A gentle breeze swept past the room, but none of the two noticed anything unusual. Not even Huang He, who was in the room next door, noticed anything. With the blood character, an illusion was formed. With the calm character, the massage therapists were calmed. Even the concealment ability and the deceit character were being used. Just like that, Su Yu was gone from the massage center.

The Perception Jade had worked perfectly this time. With the jade, he was able to avoid all detection and vanished into the sewer under the city. Sure, this was a filthy place. But so what? He was too angry to care about this. It wasn't like he was someone from a powerful and rich family. This little bit of hardship was nothing for him.

He had completely transformed into water. With the ability of the water elemental, the water character, and the looping turtle's concealment ability, Su Yu was able to hide himself very well in water. With the help of various characters and abilities, he started moving underneath the city.

During his stroll with Huang He earlier, he had learned about the places of residence of some visitors from the large families. Of course, a lot of them couldn't even find proper accommodation in the city as the locals refused to rent anything to them. Thus, these people were basically living in camps atop the city walls.

Some of them had even stopped sleeping entirely, opting to roam the city at night. After a while, Su Yu hesitated. Who should he move against? Who should he kill? After a while, he made his choice. He had yet to detect the ones who had intruded into his home previously. But he knew all five of the intruders today.

"Perhaps for you, that is only a shitty house. The house is filled with garbage, so it doesn't matter what you step on. But for me, that is a place of memories, my place of childhood..."

Suddenly, Su Yu laughed at himself. No. He didn't even need a reason. Why should he need a reason for this? They knew that was his home, but they insisted on intruding. That alone was enough for him to kill them all.

Knowledge Seeking Realm? War Shrine? Big shots? He didn't know about them. Nor did he care. Would he attract the attention of powerful experts after killing them? He was unsure. If this was going to cause chaos, so be it. Let chaos consume Great Xia.

Su Yu was about to go looking for his targets when he stopped. A character had appeared ahead of him. Someone was searching under the city with a character.

Inside his head, the little furball said, "I recognize this scent. This is one of the scents in the dust earlier."

"..."

Su Yu was quite speechless. One of them was being delivered to him just like that? A character? So there was a cultural researcher somewhere above him? This person was searching the underground for the ruin?

Su Yu checked his Perception Jade and noted that this person was too weak. There was someone above him, but that was only a Skysoar. So that Skysoar was one of the people who had intruded into his house before?

After a slight hesitation, Su Yu decided to do it. This person could only blame himself for delivering himself right to Su Yu when Su Yu was targetting some other people. As for who that Skysoar was, it didn't matter.

Even if that was someone from the Xia Family, he wouldn't hold back as that was someone who had entered his home without permission. He only had a friendship with Xia Huyou, not the Xia Family as a whole.

The ground suddenly shook slightly.

The Skysoar youth who was searching the area frowned slightly. He sent his character to search the area yet again. His shadow slowly turned darker than before, but he did not notice it.

Su Yu, who was hiding in the shadows, finally saw the appearance of this Skysoar. This was not one of those he had seen during the day. It was a completely unfamiliar face. As a seventh-stage Skysoar, this youth was by no means weak. And the youth was only around thirty in age.

This was a little genius of an unknown family. It didn't matter. The youth continued scanning the area with a frown. He was still completely clueless thanks to Great Zhou King's calm character. He was not feeling any sense of crisis whatsoever.

Suddenly, something shot out of the shadow under him. A pop rang out. The sound was incomparably soft. The youth's eyes suddenly widened.

With his mouth open, he looked down and saw that his heart had been completely crushed. All the characters in his sea of willpower had also vanished. And after a slight delay, his entire sea of willpower collapsed as well.

Nothing was left of his sea of willpower. Everything had happened noiselessly. In the blink of an eye, the youth had been killed.

Su Yu didn't know who this person was. He only knew that this was someone who had entered his home without permission. As for the possibility that this might be an ally, as far as Su Yu was concerned, anyone entering his home without permission would be an enemy.

His ally would not do something like this. And he didn't even know this person. How could someone unknown be an ally? Su Yu did not bother searching the body. A clump of flame appeared and instantly reduced the youth into nothingness. Meanwhile, Su Yu vanished like the wind, not forgetting to remove every trace of smell or aura in the area.

A short while later, he reappeared at the massage center. The illusion vanished, replaced by the real Su Yu. He continued enjoying his massage. In the room next door, Huang He was completely oblivious to all that had happened.

Not long after Su Yu left.

A Mountainsea appeared at the place where a Skysoar had died. The frowning Mountainsea was clad in the uniform of the Martial Dragon Guards. Before long, several soldiers arrived behind him. One of them asked, "Lord, what is it?"

They were still completely clueless.

The Mountainsea said, "A Skysoar aura has abruptly vanished here."

The others started scanning the area, but soon, they all shook their heads. They couldn't find anything. The Mountainsea frowned. They were not keeping a close eye on all these outsiders, but they were still keeping a low level of surveillance on these people. Who was here previously?

While he was thinking, another Mountainsea arrived. It was an old man. When he saw the Martial Dragon Guards there, his expression changed as he asked, "Lord Xie, what's going on?"

The Mountainsea from the Martial Dragon Guards said, "A Skysoar aura seemed to have vanished here earlier. Don't tell me that's someone from your family."

"Vanished?"

The old man blanked out slightly. Abrupt disappearance? He did not dare to waste any time and hurriedly took out a voice transmission talisman. After a short moment, he frowned.

"The other talisman has been destroyed."

That discovery alarmed him. He said, "Lord Xie, are you sure the aura vanished here?"

Lord Xie said, "I sensed something, but it wasn't too clear. I'm not sure. We're not responsible for the affairs of you outsiders."

"Lord!" The old man addressed Lord Xie respectfully even though he was a Mountainsea as well. With fear on his face, he said, "That's the sole son of our lord general. Please, can you help me out and search for him? Our lord general will definitely be thankful for that..."

Lord Xie sneered, "This is none of my business. Search yourself. He's probably dead."

He sounded completely indifferent. It was likely that the Skysoar had died. He was actually quite surprised himself. That aura had vanished abruptly and no second aura could be sensed in the area. All that had happened in the blink of an eye.

Right at that moment, one of the soldiers reported, "Lord, there's a storage ring here."

A storage ring had been found in the nearby drain. When the old man saw the ring, his face sank.

"This...is impossible!"

He was in big trouble. Was his young master really dead? The old man came from Great Jin. And the dead young master was the son of a general from the Great Jin Army. That general was a Sunmoon.

His son was a thirty-year-old seventh-stage SKysoar. At his age, his cultivation level made him a top genius. He was only here to test his luck. But he was now dead? Just like that? Who did it?

The old man's face changed repeatedly. He hurriedly snatched the ring and checked it carefully. When he scanned the ring with his willpower, his face turned unsightly. The items inside belonged to his young master.

Everything was over for him. As a Mountainsea, he had a high status. He was one of the head butlers in the general's household. But his young master had died out of nowhere. Recently, his young master would search the city every night. He would do the same somewhere nearby. But his young master had been killed before he could even react? The old man was terrified.

Lord Xie rubbed his chin doubtfully. Since he couldn't detect the killer, was that a Sunmoon? That shouldn't be the case, right? After the incident where the Sunmoon was lured away before someone broke into Su Yu's house, the secret guards in the city had boosted their security measures. Thus, it would be much harder for someone to hide from their commander.

While he was deep in thought, the old man said in agitation, "Lord Xie, please help investigate this incident! The culprit must still be in the city. Please, Lord Xie! This is the only son of the lord general!"

Seeing that the old man was starting to lose control of his emotions, Lord Xie frowned and said, "Silence. We don't need you to teach us what to do. I'll have some people investigate this case. But there is no promise that we can find anything."

An investigation was necessary. If someone capable of killing a Skysoar undetected was in the city, everyone would be in danger, including the locals. He was naturally not investigating this for the sake of the dead Skysoar. What could a Great Jin general do in Great Xia? They were the ones who had come uninvited!

"Lord Xie!" The old man roared in agitation, "If you can't find the culprit, my lord won't let this rest!"

"Is that a threat?"

"I wouldn't dare!" The old man clenched his teeth and said, "But my young master was lost inside Nanyuan without leaving anything behind. Not even I sensed anything. You were the first to arrive here..."

"Are you saying that I'm the killer?" Lord Xie coldly said, "I would have done so long ago if I intended to do so. Why wait until now? Do I even need to be sneaky about it? Zhang Min, think carefully before you speak. The Martial Dragon Guards is the private army of the Xia Family. Are you provoking the Xia Family?"

"I wouldn't dare!" The old man was clenching his teeth so hard that he was starting to bleed. He said, "I didn't mean that. But my young master is gone. No matter what, the Martial Dragon Guards need to find the assassin. Otherwise, there might be a second victim. You don't care about my lord, but what if this happens to more people? Does the Xia Family wish to offend so many people?"

"Heh." Lord Xie sneered, "There is no need for you to worry about that. If they die, they die. Who cares? It's not like they're Sunmoons or Invincibles. We already warned all of you that we're not responsible for your affairs. Who knows if this is an internal conflict between outsiders like you?"

Lord Xie decided to ignore the old man and said, "Seal and search this place carefully."

Despite his disdain toward the outsiders, he still needed to investigate this. They didn't even know who the culprit was. If they couldn't find out the truth, it would only embarrass the Xia Family. This could also be a scheme to create more chaos in Great Xia.
