Chapter 1374: Danger Sense (2)

At the same time, Wu Lan left the area enveloped in the illusion. Her vision blurred as she found herself suddenly standing in front of Wu Qi.

Her elder sister was in the middle of berating her, "I told you not to run off alone! Why are you doing this? If you remain disobedient, forget about going! I don't intend to throw my life away in the mansion!"

Wu Lan grumbled inwardly that Su Yu should have taken her elder sister's identity instead. Her elder sister had been way too talkative recently. Wu Lan was sure that she had guessed correctly. Su Yu was shameless enough to think of such an idea. He wanted to be her. Shameless!

As for whether Su Yu would end up looking for Bai Junsheng, that was none of her concern. She only knew that she was entering the mansion for research. She must enter. It didn't matter what Su Yu's real plan was. She had to first sever any possibility of that happening.

If she could find a way to replicate the effects of riversand, she was confident she would acquire even more fame than Su Yu. Then again, she was also aware of how hard that would be. After all, Su Yu was now known throughout the Myriad Realms.

Su Yu sighed.

Helpless.

Shortly after, he saw Bai Junsheng.

Bai Junsheng was fighting some demonic beasts under his father's lead. He was now a third-stage Skysoar. What gave him the confidence to enter the Luminous Domain Mansion with such strength? Su Yu had no choice but to be impressed with how lazy the people of Great Ming was. They had actually given the slots to the likes of Bai Junsheng.

Great Ming had been given twenty slots in total. And it seemed like they had wasted their slots.

"Bai Junsheng..."

Su Yu wondered if he should take Bai Junsheng's identity again.

Sigh.

Fine, fine. So be it. At the very least, he had prior experience pretending to be Bai Junsheng. When he pretended to be Bai Junsheng previously, he had failed to make Bai Junsheng famous. Clearly, this was his chance to make up for that.

***

Shortly after, Bai Junsheng exclaimed in surprise. Who was that?

Su Yu!

"Su Yu? Is this real?" He asked in astonishment, "Are you really Su Yu?"

"What stupid questions are you asking?"

"Answer me. When you visited my home, what did you give my sister?"

"Heavenly source fruit."

"Passcode accepted."

When Bai Jinsheng nodded, Su Yu resisted the urge to roll his eyes. Was everyone so suspicious nowadays? Why must everyone insist on such puzzles in every single meeting?

Before he could say anything, Bai Junsheng said, "Don't hit me. I'll do it myself. You want to knock me unconscious, right? I don't really want to enter the mansion as I'll only drag others down. But I'm one of the Eight Eminents. It would be too embarrassing for me to refuse to go. Furthermore, nobody in Great Ming wants to go. They all believe that this is a suicide trip. In fact, I was already well-prepared to die when I agreed to go. If you want to take my identity, go ahead! But you can't take my identity for free. Remember, these slots are very valuable."

"..."

Screw that!

Su Yu felt like coughing blood from frustration. Why was this the first thing on everyone's mind when meeting him?

Su Yu didn't even know what to say anymore.

Bai Junsheng spoke matter-of-factly, "According to the rumors, you're seriously injured. For you to suddenly appear in front of me instead of anyone else, you're clearly eyeing my identity. It's not like we're that close. Do you find me tactful? Don't worry. I won't appear before a month is up. Just hide me somewhere safe. I guarantee nobody will know about this."

"..."

For some reason, Su Yu felt insulted.

Bai Junsheng continued, "If you hide me somewhere ordinary, others might discover me easily. Too many people are monitoring Grandstar City so this won't be a good choice either. Aren't you tight with the stone statue in Heavendoom City? Just hide me there. Nobody is monitoring that city."

"..."

Su Yu said nothing. This guy had even made a plan for him.

Once again, he felt insulted.

Bai Junsheng urged him, "Come on, do it. Or I'll need to go with my old man soon. But let us agree to something first. You can commit murder and arson with my identity, but don't pick up girls with it. That would be troublesome."

Su Yu stared at Bai Junsheng in exhaustion. Had he been underestimating everyone's intelligence? Or were humans really smarter than the other races? Bai Junsheng's reasoning had been perfectly logical. For him to appear suddenly when it was rumored that he was dying, what else could he be planning? He was already a repeat offender. He had done this many times before. His deeds as Cui Lang and Profound Nine were known to all.

It wasn't that surprising that Bai Junsheng could guess his purpose here. However, it was surprising how cooperative Bai Junsheng was. In fact, Bai Junsheng was so cooperative Su Yu didn't even feel like talking anymore. He felt like anyone could see through his schemes.

Bai Junsheng continued pushing him, "Come on, do it. Are you really waiting for me to knock myself unconscious? My identity is very good. You can stick with my cousin with it. You can also stick to those from Great Ming. And you know me decently well. You know everyone I know. Su Yu, don't forget to give me some benefits for my identity. You agreed! Nobody knew you took my identity previously, but I was aware of that! Because of you, I was locked up for no reason!"

Su Yu said, "I suddenly don't feel like taking your identity anymore."

"No!" Bai Junsheng hurriedly said, "I'll be honest. I am deliberately traveling with my old man instead of the main group to wait for you. And you're finally here. I was starting to get anxious when you were nowhere to be seen!"

Su Yu frowned. Suddenly, a realization hit him. At first, everyone believed that he would go. But with his recent injuries, many believed he wouldn't go anymore. However, it was likely that many would reach the same conclusion as Bai Junsheng.

In that case, would all these people be under monitoring? Su Yu's heart thumped.

Even Bai Junsheng believed that Su Yu would pick the identity of someone he was familiar with. Would the myriad races not think of this?

Yes, he was gravely injured. But he was also known for his recklessness. Would he really give up? His tribulation character was still calm, but perhaps that was merely because the spies were not strong enough to threaten him.

Su Yu's heart thumped.

Bai Junsheng's words had reminded him of this possibility. He had always believed that it would be fine for him to enter disguised as someone else. But he had been too optimistic. He was now a wanted criminal of the myriad races. He couldn't underestimate their determination to kill him.

He also had to remember that the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion was still around. The pavilion's influence spread everywhere. Sure, he had left First Profound's mask in the city, but who knew if the pavilion had a different way to track him. Numerous thoughts emerged in his mind.

"The humans...are probably being monitored by multiple parties. Perhaps...everyone is waiting. It is possible that all 430 of the human participants are already under monitoring. How can I forget how important I am? I'm actually more important than even some Invincibles."

Su Yu looked at Bai Junsheng in shock and inhaled. If even an idiot like Bai Junsheng could think of this, what about everyone else? Human...must he insist on using the identity of a human? Was it possible that someone was already aware of his contact with Bai Junsheng?

Finally, Su Yu said, "You better not enter the Luminous Domain Mansion. It will be very dangerous. If you're really going, get the human experts to keep an eye on you. I have a feeling someone is targeting you. Watch your back. I won't be able to help you. Go look for some human experts to help you instead."

Su Yu's voice turned solemn as he said, "I'm only here to warn you about the potential danger. Don't think too much. I'm not here for your identity. I'm still recovering from my injuries. I won't be entering."

Bai Junsheng said, "You—"

"Take care."

Then, Su Yu vanished with a flicker. His voice rang out in Bai Junsheng's ears, "When you reach the human encampment near the Luminous Domain Mansion, inform the human experts immediately. Tell them you're being targeted. If you have to, give up on the slot."

With that, he left.

***

At the same time.

Heavenly Hunt Pavilion.

Someone reported, "Unique undulations have been detected near Bai Junsheng and Wu Qi. It is unknown if this is related to Su Yu."

"Keep monitoring them."

"Yes!"

With that order, a faceless elder left, leaving several gold masks in the room. After a short silence, one of them said, "Sure enough, Su Yu is still tempted. Who will he disguise himself as?"

"Wu Qi? Or Bai Junsheng? Or one of the other two girls?"

"..."

"You never know. Ordinarily, Bai Junsheng's identity would be more suitable. But Su Yu is unpredictable. He is shameless enough to disguise himself as an unassuming woman instead."

"How creative."

"The credit goes to the South Chamber head. He's the one with the idea to monitor every single human in the area. We don't even need to monitor them too closely. We only need to take note of any special undulations in the air. Sure enough, Su Yu has revealed himself. I can't help but wonder if even his injuries are fake."

"There is no guarantee that these undulations are caused by Su Yu, but it is also true that we need to keep a close watch over these people."

"Exactly."

***

After leaving Bai Junsheng, Su Yu had an odd sensation.

A sense of relief was washing over him out of nowhere. He frowned. Was someone really monitoring him earlier? That shouldn't be the case, right? If that was true, he should have sensed something. Was he being overly cautious?

He inhaled deeply.

Regardless of whether his guesses were true, it would be wise to give up on his original idea. It felt too risky.

He was also quite unhappy at how Bai Junsheng and Wu Lan had guessed his plan right after seeing him. It was as though everyone knew what he was thinking. He was already seriously injured. Why were they expecting so much out of him?

According to the old turtle, a Daofuse could see the past and future. Previously, he had assumed that nobody would waste their time doing so on a random person. But now, he couldn't help but change his mind. Would Tiangu personally wait out here for him?

He had to tread carefully.

While roaming around randomly, he encountered a group of people who were heading further away into the sea. From afar, he heard one of them saying, "Let's challenge the special entrance this time. Perhaps we can really get through. If we don't enter the mansion, we will remain trash forever."

"Exactly. We can't miss out on this chance. Many experts are aiming to reach the seventh level this time. Nobody will care about the bottom three floors. If we stay on the bottom three floors, things won't get too dangerous."

These were all minor race members.

Su Yu's eyes flickered as a new idea emerged in his mind. With a flicker, he vanished. Shortly after, he soundlessly destroyed the body of an iron-winged bird before feeding the sea of willpower to the little furball. He did that right in front of the others in the group.

Then, he inspected the memories of his victim through his victim's blood essence. None of the people in the group noticed anything. Most of them were Skysoars and Cloudbreaches. Not one of them was a Mountainsea. There were countless similar groups in the Sea of Stars.

The myriad races might try to monitor his whereabouts, but could they monitor everyone in the Allheaven Battlefield?

Before long, Su Yu replaced the iron-winged bird as a member of the group. He had picked the iron-winged bird instinctively as this was a race he was familiar with. The sea of willpower of his victim had not been destroyed. It had been stored in the little furball's stomach.

After inspecting the memories of his victim, Su Yu stored the sea of willpower into his Mark of Civilization instead.

His vision blurred.

Numerous scenes appeared in his mind.

When he did the same to the little furball previously, his visions had been interrupted by Soy Bun. Those visions had been very unclear due to the little furball’s unique origin. This was not the case for the iron-winged bird. He could see everything in great clarity.

The past of the iron-winged bird was unveiled before him. He saw a relatively small realm. He saw an iron-winged bird struggling to survive amid countless iron-winged birds.

The iron-winged bird race was considered a low-level civilization. As a subordinate race of the divine race, the iron-winged birds had fought countless battles for the divines. Even in the home realm of the iron-winged birds, several Sunmoon divines were stationed. These Sunmoons were constantly subjected to the suppression of the realm, but that did not stop them from ruling the entire realm.

Su Yu's victim was nobody important. After spending a few years in the Allheaven Battlefield fighting for the divines, his army was demolished by the Devil Subduing Army. He survived by sheer luck, and he did not feel like returning to his realm. Thus, he started roaming the Allheaven Battlefield alone.
