308: The Killer's Choice

"Stinky old man, hello, goodbye!"

Moon Chang gave Su Yu a smile as if she had seen a ghost, but this smile looked worse than crying.

The next moment, after saying these words, Moon Chang vanished into the Guanghan Immortal Palace.

Leaving only Jin Yan and the other two behind.

"Father!"

Upon seeing Su Yu, Jin Yan rushed over and hugged him.

Having not seen him for over a thousand years, she missed Su Yu dearly.

"Silly girl."

Su Yu rubbed Jin Yan's hair and called out dotingly.

Learning that Jin Yan and the others had been saved by Moon Chang and had not perished in Jian Sheng Valley filled him with both surprise and joy.

"City Lord!"

"Master!"

Fierce Woman also took a step forward, knelt on one knee, and gave Su Yu a respectful salute.

As for Mysterious Wind, he lunged toward Su Yu like a child.

However, before he could get close to Su Yu, he was blocked by an invisible wall.

It was clearly Jin Yan's doing.

The current Jin Yan was already at the Late Integration Stage.

Mysterious Wind and Fierce Woman were also at the Late Integration Stage.

However, despite all being at the Late Integration Stage, the gap between them and Jin Yan, who was about to undergo Dragonification, was still significant.

After all, Jin Yan's next step was to transform into a True Spirit.

Once she became a True Spirit, she would immediately possess the strength of an Upper-grade Mahayana Stage Expert.

After cultivating for a while longer, she would be able to exert the power of a top-tier True Spirit!

"You've worked hard."

Su Yu nodded to Fierce Woman and Mysterious Wind, indicating he understood the situation.

Seeing this, tears glistened in their eyes.

"That Yang Xuan has already been slain by me; your revenge has been taken. What are your plans next?"

"Will you return to the Spirit Realm with me, or continue your cultivation in the Nine Spirits Realm?"

Su Yu asked the three of them.

Jin Yan and Mysterious Wind did not hesitate, saying in unison, "I am willing to follow Father/Master to the Spirit Realm!"

Only Fierce Woman knelt before Su Yu, a flash of determination and reluctance in her eyes as she said, "Fierce Woman has stayed in Immortal Spirit City for a long time and has developed deep feelings for this place."

"Although I know that going to the Spirit Realm with the City Lord would be better than staying in the Nine Spirits Realm..."

"...my Aptitude is mediocre, and my Foundation is here. When the time comes to hope for a Breakthrough to the Mahayana Stage, I will have a bit more certainty here than in the Spirit Realm."

"I ask for the City Lord's understanding regarding my presumptuous request!"

Fierce Woman was not without ambition; she knew she couldn't receive the same level of support from Su Yu as Jin Yan and Mysterious Wind.

Moreover, Su Yu would eventually achieve immortality. Although Jin Yan was his adopted daughter, she was actually a spirit pet.

When Su Yu ascended, he could put her and Mysterious Wind into a spirit pet bag and ascend together.

But Fierce Woman would be in an awkward position in the Spirit Realm.

Ultimately, she was just Su Yu's subordinate; others wouldn't treat her with much respect.

While she might not necessarily be ostracized after Su Yu's Ascension, the outcome wouldn't be great either, especially since she was an outsider to the Human Race.

Even if an Opportunity to break through to the Mahayana Stage arose, it wouldn't fall to her.

It would be better to stay in the Nine Spirits Realm. With Immortal Spirit City under her control and Su Yu's connections, she would at least have a better chance of entering the Mahayana Stage in the future.

Perhaps she might even have a chance to ascend to immortality and go to the Immortal Realm to continue following Su Yu!

Hearing this, Su Yu's expression remained calm, as if he had anticipated Fierce Woman's words.

He walked to Fierce Woman's side, helped her up, and said, "You are my most capable subordinate; I respect your choice."

"I also understand your considerations."

"This object is my token. If you encounter any danger, you can go to the Savage Land to find Myriad Peak."

"This token is effective among the Nine Spirits Clan, the Qingqiu Fox Clan, the Human Race, and other races."

"Also, this is a Green Spirit Cold Essence Fruit; it can increase your Divine Soul power and help you resist Heart Demons when you advance to the Mahayana Stage in the future."

"Thank you, My Lord!"

Fierce Woman was deeply moved. She bowed deeply to Su Yu and accepted the Green Spirit Cold Essence Fruit.

Feeling the powerful medicinal energy within the fruit, she felt great confidence in her future Breakthrough to the Mahayana Stage.

Then, Jin Yan and Mysterious Wind also came to Fierce Woman's side with great reluctance; they understood her decision and didn't say much.

They just bid her a silent farewell.

Afterward, Su Yu took the two of them and flew toward the territory of the Human Race on the Tianyuan Continent.

Fierce Woman was teleported back to Immortal Spirit City by Su Yu using a spatial Divine Ability... "That person is about to arrive at the Sacred Palace."

Inside the Human Race's Sacred Palace, several Upper-grade Mahayana Stage Experts of the Human Race were gathered in a pavilion.

A man dressed as a scholar, holding a paper crane in his hand, spoke to the others nearby.

"I don't know why he is coming this time, but for Yu Jizi's sake, he shouldn't be hostile toward the Human Race."

The peerless Palace-Attired Woman's beautiful face showed a hint of melancholy.

They had previously used their Divine Thoughts to observe the battle between Su Yu and Ao Guang through spatial fluctuations.

After learning of Su Yu's terrifying strength, they felt only deep apprehension toward him.

Now that Su Yu was using the communication treasure Yu Jizi had given him to contact them, they didn't know if it was a blessing or a curse.

After all, Su Yu had only sent a single message through the treasure: he would arrive at the Sacred Palace in a few days.

"That person killed Heavenly Lord Yang right after descending to the Nine Spirits Realm and then fought that terrifyingly powerful True Dragon."

"Although he disappeared for three years for some unknown reason, his reappearance must be for a specific reason."

"We just need to wait quietly."

The white-bearded old man shook his head; he didn't think Su Yu would harm the Human Race.

Over the past few years, Su Yu's deeds had spread throughout the Nine Spirits Realm.

Yang Xuan had been refined alive into a Puppet, with his Divine Soul still suffering inside it.

Such terrifying methods made the entire Nine Spirits Realm extremely fearful.

Some who had other designs on the Human Race temporarily abandoned those thoughts.

At the very least, they would wait until Su Yu ascended before deciding whether to act against the Human Race.

"Hopefully."

The scholar and the Palace-Attired Woman sighed, then sent people to prepare a welcoming ceremony and waited for Su Yu's arrival.

A few months later, Su Yu arrived at the Sacred Palace.

Standing outside the Sacred Palace, he released a trace of his aura.

In the next instant, the Human Race Mahayana Stage experts who sensed Su Yu's aura all left the Sacred Palace and came outside.

There were eight Mahayana Stage experts in total; excluding those traveling elsewhere, there were only seven present.

"We greet Fellow Daoist Xuan Xiao!"

The seven of them bowed respectfully to Su Yu.

Though they still addressed him as Fellow Daoist, their tone carried a hint of reverence!

"Fellow Daoists, there is no need for such formality!"

Su Yu raised a hand slightly, helping them up.

"Fellow Daoist Xuan Xiao, please follow me!"

The scholar stepped aside to welcome Su Yu.

Su Yu nodded and followed them into the Sacred Palace.

The current Sacred Palace was decorated with lanterns and streamers, full of bustle.

A large number of Immortal Magpies, comparable to the Soul Transformation Stage, soared in the sky.

Tens of thousands of beautiful Immortal Maids at or above the Nascent Soul Stage lined up in two rows, welcoming Su Yu with blooming smiles.

Firecrackers popped and drums thundered!

And petals of various colors drifted down from the sky!

Seeing this, a smile appeared on Su Yu's lips. Beside him, Jin Yan and Mysterious Wind also put on an air of profound mystery as they followed behind him.
