1132: The Kidnapper-Robber

The Kidnapper-Robber

She had the soul of a deity's descendant, after all. One reckless move and she could have escaped.

"You're planning to trade me for the God Kylin?" The realization of Su Yu's intention struck He Xianran suddenly.

He had never thought of running away this whole time. He was only pretending to be running for his life when he was laying a trap to capture her alive in exchange for the God Kylin.

As she stared at Su Yu's profound eyes, He Xianran suddenly felt as if the Jiuzhou savage whom she had to deal with was calmer and wiser than normal.

The moment she was caught, the rest of the 200 Mortal Fairies started to fear, and they stopped.

Su Yu did not bother to shun her. He suppressed her soul into the Soul Dimension right before their eyes and said, "Go back and find someone who can negotiate for the exchange for God Kylin... I suggest you find someone who values her."

Despite the bitter looks on their faces, the 200 Mortal Fairies understood what Su Yu meant by that last part.

The Crane Deity had several heirs. If the favored heir He Xianran died, the other heirs would gain an opportunity.

Thus, if they were the ones that came to negotiate for the exchange of God Kylin, it would bring harm to He Xianran instead.

"How do we get in touch with you?" A Mortal Fairy asked.

Su Yu hurled forth a messenger jade pendant and said, "This jade pendant can only receive but not deliver messages, so I'll be the only one giving you information."

"As for where to meet, when to trade, and how many people you could bring, it all depends on my wish unless you want He Xianran to die!"

"Besides, if anything happens to God Kylin, He Xianran has to pay double the price. Don't even think of trying to search my soul for my weaknesses or mistakes!"

A few Mortal Fairies with meticulous minds could not help but inhale a cold sharp breath. This dauntless kidnapper was exceptionally calm.

If they were to rescue He Xianran unscathed, they couldn't even slightly hurt God Kylin but had to reinforce the defense to make sure that God Kylin wasn't secretly harmed by the Crane Deity's malicious heirs.

The 200 Mortal Fairies were on tenterhooks and quickly returned.

Once the crowd was dispersed, the Severed Fairy Cliff Master stared at Su Yu and said, "This deal will make you suffer great loss."

Even if God Kylin was saved, abducting a deity's descendant in this territory governed by the hundred Gods would've challenged the baseline of the deities in a certain sense; it was an absolute taboo.

Aside from how the Crane Deity would get revenge, the rest of the deities wouldn't accept Su Yu anymore.

He would lose his dwelling before he could even gain a foothold in the Great Eastern Alliance.

Without a doubt, this was a trade that would make him lose his hard-earned capital.

Su Yu laughed and said, "Some things can't be weighed with gains and losses. Without God Kylin, will I even exist now as someone from the Jiuzhou cavern world?"

The Severed Fairy Cliff Master cast a deep gaze on Su Yu and flashed a small smile after a long while. "You're not a qualified businessman, but you're certainly a qualified man with responsibility. How wonderful!"

"Wuxie had great insight. Once you have your children of your own in the future, I won't interfere so you can be in charge of teaching them. If I have any great-great-grandchildren, I'll send them to be taught by you as well, and if I have any..."

"Um... Cliff Master, have you taken your medicines today?"

The Severed Fairy Cliff Master didn't respond

After packing up, all of them left and cleaned up the scents they left behind along the way until they reached an inconspicuous range of mountains.

"Abducting a deity's descendant is a huge matter, after all, you have to be fully prepared," the Severed Fairy Cliff Master said. Gongsun Wuxie stood beside him, her mouth pouting in anger. Her body was sealed so she could listen and see but not talk or move.

At the moment, she glared at her father, who did not let her speak and budge. She then glared at Su Yu who did not help her, and lastly at Qin Xian-er, who was smiling and snuggling beside Su Yu.

The sweet and shy look on her face made Gongsun Wuxie so anxious that she kept stamping her feet, and her lungs were at the brink of exploding in fury. But her father intended to keep her sealed.

The Severed Fairy Cliff Master laughed bitterly. If he didn't keep her sealed, she would probably turn the world upside down once this belligerent little devil found out about Qin Xian-er's existence.

If she hadn't been sealed, he was afraid that she would refuse to leave Su Yu.

"I have my plans, thank you so much for your help, senior," Su Yu paid his respect with cupped fists.

The Severed Fairy Cliff Master wasn't a creature of Jiuzhou. He wasn't obligated to venture everywhere with Su Yu for God Kylin.

Su Yu had taken the initiative to suggest the father and daughter leave.

"Haih..." The Severed Fairy Cliff Master looked remorseful. "I still have wishes in this life that I shall fulfill. Otherwise, I would have no problem being your partner in crime."

Su Yu replied with some sorrow, "Don't be sorry, Cliff Master. I already have a comprehensive plan that doesn't necessarily require martial power. Just go ahead and do as you wish, Cliff Master."

Su Yu could not help but recall the profound hatred that flickered across his eyes when they were with the Severed Fairy Cliff Master the other day.

He just wasn't sure if his hatred was towards the Great Eastern Alliance.

"What a pity," the Severed Fairy Cliff Master sighed, as he stepped into the Void along with Gongsun Wuxie, and said, "If there is a chance, I hope we can meet up."

"Certainly."

After seeing off the Central Prefecture's King, the look on Su Yu's face suddenly grew somber.

He spoke lightly of it, but abducting a deity's descendant was no minor matter. The final situation into which things would develop wasn't something that Su Yu could handle.

"What are you planning now?" Mo Tianxuan asked. Things had turned out this way, and they had no means of retreat.

Su Yu cast a look at Mo Tianxuan. Su Yu had also persuaded her to leave, but she insisted on rescuing God Kylin first.

"Yes! Here's something that I hope you could do. However, it's so dangerous, even I can't predict the outcome," Su Yu retrieved a letter and a jade pendant.

Mo Tianxuan said, "Dangerous? Tell me more."

"I want you to deliver the letter and the messenger jade pendant to..." Su Yu disclosed through telepathy.

Upon hearing him, Mo Tianxuan was stunned. "Are you sure about sending them to him? That's way too risky!"

"Since we abducted the deity's descendant, it no longer matters how risky it is. If that's the case, then why not wreak more havoc and gain a chance of survival from it?"

Mo Tianxuan pondered for a moment and nodded slowly. "Fine, leave this to me!"

Creak!

She tore through the Void right away and left.

"Haha, traveling with you is full of surprises. You haven't been back to the Great Eastern Alliance for long, yet you're doing something so major," As the third son of the Ghost God, the Great Emperor of Ghost Prison understood the meaning behind abducting a deity's descendant more than anyone.

That was a major thing that would alarm the entire divine region, unprecedented since time immemorial!

Even so, that was what made it fascinating!

"I have a task that only you are capable of fulfilling," Su Yu said, taking out a Heavenly Orchid Silver Bamboo aged a thousand years from the Nine Jade Spiritual Pearl.

"The greatest divine bamboo of Jiuzhou is a treasure that isn't commonly seen even in the divine region. It has been cultivated for a millennium, hence having extravagant price."

"With my ordinary status, selling this bamboo rashly will bring me endless trouble. Therefore, you need to sell it using the identity of the Ghost God's descendant."

After more than half a year, this Heavenly Orchid Silver Bamboo had reached a maturity of a thousand years.

"You need funding?" The Great Emperor of Ghost Prison queried in surprise. Su Yu couldn't even secure his footing now and was still thinking of making money?2

"Yes, I need lots of money. This Heavenly Orchid Silver Bamboo is merely for testing. I will continuously put universal spiritual items of great vintages for sale."

The Great Emperor of Ghost Prison contemplated for a while but did not hesitate for long. Even though his father would acknowledge it once he displayed the identity of the Ghost God's descendant, what good would that do?

He might as well have embarked on a great adventure with Su Yu since he wasn't really valued by his father.

Having the Ghost God's descendant auctioning valuable items would save them plenty of trouble. Su Yu put a lot of thought into this.

He passed a messenger jade pendant to the Great Emperor of Ghost Prison. After sending him off, Su Yu said to Jian Wusheng, "Here's a task that needs to be assigned to you."

Jian Wusheng nodded. She had respected God Kylin all along and had no reason to refuse his request.

Su Yu secretly passed the message through telepathy. After listening to it, Jian Wusheng's eyes gleamed. There was a praising look on her gentle face as she said, "There's give and take in your strategy that was thoroughly considered. Leave this matter to me."

Jian Wusheng turned and left. After two steps, she stopped and turned back, casting a profound look at Su Yu. "I have a question and a matter to tell you."

"Amidst the debris of the Red Blood Palace, were you the one who became a deity?"

Su Yu thought for a moment and shook his head. "Nope."

It wasn't that he did not trust Jian Wusheng, but Su Yu couldn't tell outsiders about aiding a deity-to-be. The more they knew, the more likely he would be exposed.

Once exposed, it would be a calamity to the people around Su Yu. Countless influences and even deities would capture the ones close to Su Yu. They would be interrogated about Su Yu's whereabouts with cruel punishments, threatened and bribed.

It was best if he didn't tell anyone.

Jian Wusheng looked slightly disappointed. She went on and said, "Also, my daughter has also come to the Great Eastern Alliance, likely for you."

Su Yu did not speak and quietly waited for her to finish speaking.

After a long hesitation, Jian Wusheng said with complicated emotions, "If possible, please do not harm her."

Was it Bing Wuxin, Bing Wuqing, or both of them?

"I understand," Su Yu replied. He had never hurt Bing Wuqing before because any harm inflicted upon her would reflect on Bing Wuxin.

Watching Jian Wusheng leave, Qin Xian-er tilted her head in curiosity. "What does Brother Su Yu want me to do? Could you have called me out to purposely provoke that little girl?"

As she recalled the way Gongsun Wuxie's face was flushed red yet unable to move and speak, Qin Xian-er could not help but chuckle.

"Erm... a little girl? Isn't she older than you?" Su Yu took a glance at Qin Xian-er's petite figure, which wasn't any bigger than Gongsun Wuxie, and laughed inwardly. He didn't know where Qin Xian-er got the confidence to call her a little girl.

"I didn't call you out to do anything. Just accompany me to see the amazing mountains and rivers of the divine region," Su Yu said.

Qin Xian-er was a little stunned. At such a critical point of time, Su Yu was planning to go on an excursion with her?

After making sure that Su Yu wasn't kidding, Qin Xian-er felt delighted despite her worries. She held Su Yu's arm and began the excursion with her face beaming.

Su Yu was having fun sightseeing. In exactly two months, they had visited nearly half of the divine region.

They hadn't missed out on any famous cities and tourist spots.

Inside a silent training room in the All-Access Chamber of Commerce, Yang Tai listened quietly to a Peak Mortal Fairy elder's report.

Yang Tai flipped through a book of secret cultivation techniques and asked out of the blue, "How did the various parties respond?"

The elder said, "The civil society is abuzz with news about the abduction of a deity's descendant, it is the first time this has ever happened."
