Finally, Su Yu's gaze landed on Xing Yue. Noticing her cold expression and recalling that he didn't have anything good to offer her, he cupped his fists helplessly and said, "Lord, your loyal subordinate promises to sweep through the Death Realm for you and make you the lord of the Death Realm in the future." Xing Yue didn't even deign to give him a reply. The kid was being too overconfident. As for Bai Feng, he looked at Xing Yue fearfully before looking at Su Yu. He couldn't hold back anymore. He asked, "Can anyone tell me what happened now?" Damn it. He was still completely clueless. Su Yu explained expressionlessly, "Everyone outside is probably dead. That's all I know. How long have you been here, Teacher?" "I came here not long after arriving at the seventh level." He switched to voice transmission and said, "Send them all away! I discovered a big secret here!" Su Yu's eyes flickered as he said, "The seventh level is probably peaceful now. Everyone, it's time for you to leave." When everyone looked at Su Yu, he signalled Bai Feng to open the realm barrier again. Then, he cupped his fists at the others and said, "I don't have much to say. Great Qin King, take care. Your injuries are heavy, but you don't need my help. I can't help with much anyway. You know humanity better than me." Great Qin King sighed, stood up, and asked, "Have you considered...returning to the human race?" Su Yu shook his head, "No." "So be it." Great Qin King looked at the others and said, "We owe you our lives. Race? Greater picture? Home? A lot of things suddenly feel pointless. If I do die, I hope to see you at the Eastrift Valley again. Take care, Su Yu." Then, he turned and left. Seeing that, the others left one after another. When Xing Yue wanted to leave as well, Su Yu said, "Lord, where are you going? Things are unclear out there. We don't know if the death tunnel is still open. Please wait a bit. We can go together." Xing Yue resisted the urge to say that she did not need his guidance. Did she not know that? Thus, she stood still near the exit, acting as though she had not heard Su Yu's words. Su Yu did not mind. He only needed her to stay, not her answer. Suddenly, Xing Yue said, "The Source Return Blade might still be around..." Su Yu nodded, "It's fine. Things might not be safe yet. Great Qin King and the others might not necessarily stay on the seventh level. They will probably try to descend to the sixth level. We can take our time looking for the blade later." He did not intend to look for the blade. It might be powerful, but he didn't care. He was leaving the blade for Great Qin King. He was no longer capable of maintaining humanity's fragile unity. But with the blade, Great Qin King might be able to maintain some of his grip over humanity. Of course, there was no need for him to say those words clearly. Beside him, Bai Feng pushed him and sent a voice transmission, "There's a storage ring on the ground." Su Yu said indifferently, "I saw it. Great Qin King left it. He was worried that I would refuse it, but I was also worried that he would take it back if I mentioned it. Thus, we both pretended to not notice it. After such a big sacrifice, I naturally deserve a repayment." The others stared at him with stupefaction. They had thought that he didn't notice. Su Yu rolled his eyes. Of course he saw it. But what was he supposed to say? Was he supposed to refuse it? Wouldn't that be too fake? But it would also be embarrassing for him to accept it directly. This was much better. Great Qin King could leave it behind and he could pick it up. There was no need for them to talk about it. After picking the ring up, he checked the contents. He was left quite impressed. With a smile, he said, "Not bad. Great Qin King managed to grab three Invincible corpses and six carrier treasures during the battle. These treasures are almost worth as much as what I gave out." Bai Feng complained, "Is this how everyone does things nowadays? Throwing around carrier treasures like nothing?" Su Yu laughed, "This is nothing, Teacher. So many Invincibles die this time. What a pity that some must have been destroyed during the battle. Some are probably lost. Most of the corpses are probably gone as well. So much Invincible blood essence is lost. Sigh. We can only let it be." He had given out two carrier treasures, but he had received six. As such, he had made a profit of four carrier treasures. Including those he had used, he had collected roughly twenty carrier thus far. Very few people were left in the realm barrier. Apart from Wu Lan and the others, there were only Xing Yue and Lan Tian, who was staying in the body of a scholar. It was unknown if this was his sole remaining clone. Outside the realm barrier. After looking at the shut realm barrier behind him, Great Qin King looked at the devastated seventh level. Finally, he looked at the others and said, "Let's go to the sixth level." Qin Zhen hurriedly asked, "Father, how about your injuries? Should we try our luck on the eighth level?" Zhu Tianfang suggested, "We should look for the Source Return Blade. Uncle Qin, Su Yu did not mention the blade. He is probably not intending to claim it for himself. With that blade, you might be able to keep your enemies wary of you." Great Qin King sank into silence. Zhu Tianfang continued, "I know what you're thinking, but the human race needs this. Badly. The moment words of your injuries spread, humanity will be in trouble. You might believe that it's better for Su Yu to have the blade, but he won't be able to keep the seniors in line after returning if we allow humanity to descend into chaos now." After a short silence, Great Qin King said, "I'll take a look. If I can take it with me, I'll do it. If not, we'll let it be. Also..." He looked at the non-humans around them and calmly said, "Upon returning to your races, you can tell them everything, excluding anything involving Su Yu. Yes. Including my injuries. With the Source Return Blade, I might be able to hang in there for a little bit more time. I hope you can do me this favor." None of them dared to protest. They all cupped their fists at him in agreement. Even a weakened tiger would still be feared. Even with only one body left, Great Qin King still felt incredibly dangerous for them. Null Seer was the first to speak, "We won't say anything about Su Yu. Don't worry, Great Qin King." Great Qin King nodded, "You may go to the sixth level first. We have to find a way to leave the mansion as well or all this talk will be for nothing. With something so big happening, things might have changed outside as well..." Then, he vanished with a flicker. Before long, he arrived at the death tunnel. Not a single person was there. All the death spirits had either fled or died. Even the heavenly laws near the area had been destroyed. Old Zhou was simply too terrifying. When Great Qin King recalled the name Su Yu gave the monster, he chuckled. Then, his gaze landed on the lightly trembling Source Return Blade. It had been damaged badly as well. He reached out at it without any hesitation. Even in its damaged state, the blade still resisted violently, leaving numerous bloody scars on his arm. With a roar, Great Qin King pulled the blade into his body. Instantly, his aura surged. Even the look in his eyes turned sharper than before. He muttered, "Not bad. With this, I can release the strength of a ninth-degree Eternal." This should be enough to handle most situations unless he was forced to fight Pseudo Emperors to the death. He looked into the distance, inhaled deeply, and vanished again. Su Yu...perhaps it would really be up to him in the end. Sure, humanity wasn't that weak. Things should remain fine for now. For Great Qin King, leaving this mansion alive was already a good result. He had failed to become a Pseudo Emperor. He had even lost two of his bodies. He felt somewhat disappointed, but he wasn't too sad. This was an acceptable result. He was happy with killing so many enemy Invincibles. Humanity had earned a lot. Even after giving Su Yu six carrier treasures, he still had some with him. Those geezers back home could finally try to recover with the additional treasures. Yun Chen had also succeeded in his dao affirmation. The intense battle here had most likely benefited Xia Longwu and the others greatly as well. With numerous thoughts in his mind, Great Qin King left. He did not try entering the eighth level. Going there might truly kill him. He could no longer afford to take the gamble. Sure, he might make full recovery on the eighth level. But he couldn't indulge himself too much. Once was enough. If he risked himself again, he would be a sinner of humanity. He couldn't die yet. Since he couldn't die, he shouldn't take more risks. Before long, the entrance to the sixth level was torn open. They went to the sixth level to look for a way out. Perhaps they could try to find more treasures while they were at it, but they would not be returning to the upper three levels. Meanwhile, Su Yu was staring at Bai Feng silently. With a grin, Bai Feng said, "We're rich! Kid, we're really rich this time! I found a blood pond here! It's incredibly powerful! You can finish body forgings instantly in the pond. You can also finish your nine transformations there. Kid, you're in the middle of your transformations, right? That blood pond is incredibly powerful. I suspect there are more such ponds here..." Su Yu blanked out. Blood pond? His teacher had somehow found something like that. How brave of him. Was he not afraid of death? No wonder Bai Feng told him to send the others away. Bai Feng was quite stingy as well. He did not intend to share the benefits he found here. Su Yu laughed inwardly. Good. There was no need to share these things with outsiders. Suddenly, he recalled something. That Dummy...seemed to know Great Qin King. He had forgotten to ask about that death spirit. Was that one of the prefecture founders? That might be someone from Great Qin King's generation. Su Yu wondered if Dummy was still around. He still owed Dummy a favor. Unfortunately, he hadn't been able to take Dummy with him earlier.
