2308 Chapter 2,199, the cursed lands (third watch)
The Emperor knows Su Yu?
Princess Qianyue’s eyes widened. How could her father, who usually kept to himself, know a junior with an unknown background?
Furthermore, wasn’t his father’s attitude a little too abnormal?
How could he have the majesty and demeanor of the Emperor of the Eternal Nightless Empire Now?
He must have completely treated Su Yu as an important guest?
Prince Ling Tian’s eyes shone with a bright light as disbelief appeared in his eyes. This unremarkable human actually knew his imperial father?
To be more precise, his imperial father was very happy with his arrival!
Moreover, even the heartless iron constable had a slightly different attitude towards him.
Just who was this human?
Su Yu recovered from his shock and returned the greeting in a neither servile nor overbearing manner. “Many thanks for the invitation, Your Majesty.”
“Haha, What Are You talking about? You’ve graced this banquet with your presence,”the monarch boasted again and again.
His words had indeed attracted a lot of surprise, but more than that, it had attracted suspicion and jealousy.
The elders who were mature and prudent were still fine, but the young people in the middle were rather unconvinced.
Even the monarch had never praised them like this, so why should such a compliment fall on a nameless half-step dao master.
“Young master Yao Yue, have you heard of this person? It’s really unbelievable! The emperor actually treated him like that!”
“I don’t know him!”Young master Yao Yue looked at Su Yu with a much colder gaze. “I guess he’s most likely very special.”
Although this statement was a bit far-fetched, it was barely passable.
The glaze civilization was filled with crouching tigers and hidden dragons, and it was possible that a super powerful successor would jump out.
“I see. Relying on his identity and background is really nothing!”
“That’s right! The most important thing to establish oneself in this world is one’s own ability. A person like him who relies on his background can only flaunt his might for a moment, not for the rest of his life!”
..
They made wild guesses and belittled him without knowing the truth. It was really against their identity.
Su Yu felt helpless. Even without looking, he knew that the emperor’s words had drawn a lot of hatred towards him.
“The imperial army is too kind,”Su Yu said indifferently.
He was concise and did not want to talk too much.
However, the emperor did not seem to understand what Su Yu meant. Not only did he not end the conversation, he even invited Prince Ling Tian and Princess Qian Yue. He smiled and said, “Little Friend, let me introduce you. These two are my son and my beloved daughter.”
He then introduced them, “This is...”
He still did not know what Su Yu’s name was.
“You can just call me Su Yu,”Su Yu said calmly.
“This is young noble Su. Haven’t you guys met him?”The emperor asked.
Although Prince Ling Tian was full of doubts, he did not reveal anything on the surface. Instead, he cupped his hands enthusiastically and said, “So it’s young noble Su. It’s a pleasure to meet you! After the banquet ends, come to my residence if you have the time. I will definitely treat you well.”
On the other hand, Princess Qian Yue’s almond-shaped eyes widened as she said angrily, “Father, why aren’t you helping me! This fellow is really too much of a bully...”
Who would have thought that the monarch who always sided with Princess Qian Yue.., however, he criticized her in a rare manner, “Qian Yue, don’t mess around! I saw the scene back then. Young noble Su saved your life and not only did you not feel grateful, you even insulted him. Now, you are even threatening to take revenge! This is really unseemly!”
Being criticized by her father in public, Princess Qianyue was so aggrieved that she cried, “Father doesn’t like me anymore, SOB SOB SOB...”
“HMPH! Go back and reflect on yourself. Don’t embarrass yourself here!”Seeing that she did not repent and instead became even more severe, the emperor scolded her harshly.
Seeing this, Prince Ling Tian was extremely shocked.
What was going on?
His father’s favoritism towards Princess Qianyue was close to spoiling her.
From a young age, no matter how big of a mistake Princess Qianyue had made, it was always turning a big issue into a small one. It had never been triggered.
Now, Princess Qianyue was only acting coquettishly and did not want to admit her mistakes. Why was he punishing her?
Prince Ling Tian stared at Su Yu, his eyes flickering with emotions.
This human definitely had something that his imperial father highly valued!
Only Su Yu understood that he must have secretly used his spatial domain to be discovered by him and intentionally tried to recruit him.
To be honest, if he had known earlier that the blue-robed middle-aged man was the monarch of the nightless imperial kingdom, he would not have attended this banquet no matter what.
He really did not wish to be embroiled in the whirlpool of a large power.
“What, reflect on yourself while facing the wall?”Princess Qianyue’s eyes were wide open as she stared at the monarch in disbelief.
He was actually punishing her for an outsider!
Did He make a mistake?
“Why aren’t you going?”The monarch berated.
When his trusted aide saw that the monarch was truly enraged, he immediately grabbed the princess and left.
The noisy scene finally quieted down completely.
Many experienced guests looked at Su Yu with completely different gazes.
This person was definitely not an ordinary person!
Xie Xiaoyue looked at Su Yu with a face full of suspicion. In the past, she had always felt that she could not see through Su Yu, but now, she still could not see through him.
Wherever he went, he would always surprise people.
Constable heartless was also deep in thought. When she first came to the nightless imperial kingdom, she had never seen the monarch pay so much attention to him.
Suddenly, constable heartless seemed to have thought of something and said faintly, “I remember that the nine-colored heavenly venerate who appeared out of nowhere twenty years ago was also a human named Su Yu, right?”
Hearing this, Wu Xintie couldn’t help but feel frightened.
It was said that a mortal saintly being had appeared in the depths of the western region.
He had single-handedly killed the evil daughter and destroyed the carefree son of heaven!
His name was Su Yu!
What was even more coincidental was that his race was actually the human race!
Many people looked at Su Yu and seemed to be deep in thought.
But after a moment, they shook their heads secretly.
What kind of person was the nine-colored Celestial Master? He could destroy any seven-star civilization with a raise of his hand!
Such a character could enter an eight-star civilization directly. Why would he need to attend this banquet and obtain information about entering an eight-star civilization?
Those who were slightly more rational dismissed this ridiculous idea.
Even the emperor, who regarded Su Yu with great importance, smiled.
Even the Xuan Dao Palace would have to look up to such a prodigy. Why would they need to come to their tiny eternal imperial kingdom?
Su Yu smiled lightly. “There are many humans with the same name and surname. If they think that I’m the nine-colored heavenly venerate, there’s no harm in me admitting it.”
Hearing this, everyone smiled and did not take it seriously.
Xie Xiaoyue curled the corners of her lips. “Look at how beautiful he is! is the nine-colored heavenly venerate something that he can become just because he wants to?”
On the other hand, she was not in the mood to be an iron constable. Her pair of deep eyes stared deeply at Su Yu, as if she could see through everything about him.
“Alright, everyone, please take a seat.”The monarch chatted with Su Yu again and again. Seeing that it was getting late, he announced the official start of the banquet.
The servants brought over exceptionally rich and precious spiritual items for the guests to eat.
For a time, the guests were all happy.
However, everyone knew that this banquet was just a gimmick. The real focus was the news of gold entering an eight-star civilization.
As expected, after three rounds of wine, the King’s expression became solemn as he said solemnly, “Everyone, the once-in-a-century entrance test for an eight-star civilization is about to begin. This should be the last time.”
Everyone’s hearts instantly sank, and even the atmosphere became gloomy.
In less than 80 years, the era would be destroyed.
At that time, the western region would completely collapse.
Therefore, the recruitment of the eight-star civilization in the western region this time would be the last time in their lifetimes.
“We have no other choice. We can only send more people into the eight-star civilization at all costs to create a glimmer of hope for our future.”
The end of the epoch was a sharp blade hanging above everyone’s heads.
Now, that sharp blade was about to fall!
“Your Majesty, Please make the arrangements. All the clans of our eternal nightless Imperial Kingdom will listen to the king’s orders and strive to send all those who have hope into the eight-star civilization,”said an old man who was about to die.
The rest of the people expressed their positions one after another. Their wills were firm, and they felt as if they were united as a city.
In the face of destruction, they had no choice but to unite together even though they had always been scheming against each other.
The monarch said solemnly, “I have received your wishes! Now, I will announce the information collected from the eight-star civilization!”
Hearing this, everyone’s expressions became excited.
Every hundred years, the eight-star civilization would use various methods to send messages to the leaders of various forces.
They would be told about the various situations of this recruitment.
“The quota for this recruitment is 100 people!”The monarch’s voice was high.
Instantly, the entire place was filled with ecstasy.
“What, 100 people? In the past, there were less than 20 people!”
“That’s great! We have great hope this time!”
“It seems that the eight-star civilization has also taken into consideration our situation, so they specially expanded the quota for the recruitment.”
..
The king’s expression did not change, and he said, “The time is, ten years later, the venue will be... the Eastern Region!”
Hearing this, everyone’s expression slightly froze.
The eastern region was the most ominous place in the outer region.
As early as the beginning of the new era, there had been a long and protracted war, and countless almighty experts had died.
Among them, more than ten thousand seven-star civilization masters had been buried.
There were even rumors that eight-star civilization masters had died there.
Many years later, Corpse Qi filled the eastern region, turning it into an evil land. All the warriors who entered it hadn’t reached the level of the family head, so it was very difficult for them to come back alive.
Because that place had already become a cursed land.
Unless it was a native creature, it would be difficult for outsiders to adapt to the environment inside. In the end, they would either support their bodies with evil qi, or die there.
For many years, the venue had been held in the western, southern, and northern regions.
In theory, it should be held in the western region this year.
Who would have thought that it would be held in the eastern region.
“The eastern region, could this be a mistake by an eight-star civilization? Going there itself is a rather dangerous matter, not to mention holding the recruitment there,”an old man voiced his concerns.
Hearing this, the monarch sighed and shook his head. “I’ve already discussed this matter with the palace masters of the Radiant Palace and the sword Asker Pavilion. There’s nothing wrong with it. It’s going to be held in the Eastern Region!”
Everyone’s expressions became much uglier.
It couldn’t really be said that it was good news to hold the recruitment there!
“As long as everyone is careful and cautious, the problem shouldn’t be too big. What we need to guard against is another problem.”The monarch’s tone became heavy. “The eastern, southern, and northern regions have produced many prodigies in the past hundred years. All kinds of prodigies and talents are showing signs of exploding. On the other hand, although there are quite a few prodigies in our western region who are famous throughout the world, overall, they seem to be extremely quiet!”
