The Divine Nine-Dragon Cauldron Novel - Chapter 1429
Chapter 1429: Red Dust Forbidden Lands
A dark-faced general stood behind the Superior-Extermination Cannons with his hands clasped behind his back. He sneered and said, “I’ve been waiting for you, the Saint of the Moonview Sect!!”
The Saint had fallen into a trap!
Staring at the four terrifying Superior-Extermination Cannons, the frozen complacent look on his face froze was replaced with a bemused expression. He was so shocked that he was unable to comprehend the situation, “Didn’t all of you…?”
“Didn’t we go to the southern side to assist them? Is that what you wanted to ask?” the dark-faced general mocked. After taking out a jade communication pendant and instilling divine power into it, a familiar voice sounded from it. “The Saint of the Moonview Sect will break out from where you are, so do not send your troops away.”
The Saint’s expression changed drastically upon hearing that. “Su Yu!”
He couldn’t believe that Su Yu was able to convince the dark-faced general, who had intended to lead the troops to assist them in the south.
They followed Su Yu’s suggestion. Not only did they not leave, but they also prepared a perfect killing trap and waited for Zhao Tianyin to fall for it!
It’s him!! He… he betrayed me!” Zhao Tianyin said angrily. His complacency for scheming against Su Yu vanished into thin air, replaced by a great sense of humiliation.
He thought he had dug a pit for Su Yu, but Su Yu ultimately schemed against him instead!
“Place the seals on him!” The dark-faced general chuckled as the two soldiers beside him took out the special seals that they prepared.
Zhao Tianyin wanted to resist, but he didn’t dare to do so with the four Superior-Extermination Cannons nearby.
In the end, two seals were placed on him, sealing both his sorcery energy and his physical strength and rendering him an ordinary person.
The dark-faced general laughed, “We’ve done it! We have captured the Saint of Moonview Sect alive! I couldn’t care less about General Guo and the southwest guards!”
At the southwest garrison, a white-faced and beardless general received an urgent message from Guo Cheng.
“Su Yu will be breaking out from your location! Stay vigilant!” Guo Cheng said. His tone was so rushed that it startled the white-faced and refined general.
As the leader of his troops, he quickly reacted and said, “Listen up, everyone. Prepare the Superior-Extermination Cannon!”
Power was immediately charged into the four Superior-Extermination Cannons.
With half of the troops sent out, however, the activation speed was greatly reduced!
Just then, the four Superior-Extermination Cannons flew towards the sky uncontrolled. The cannons circled around the silver-haired young man who suddenly appeared.
There was a touch of mysterious aura that lingered in his palms.
The white-faced general expression changed suddenly, “The secret of the Empire of Darkness, the Six Fundamental Laws of Mind Control!”
Looking up at the silver-haired young man, the white-faced general said in a serious tone, “Su Yu! It’s really you!”
With a touch midair, Su Yu kept all four three-hundred Chinese feet tall Superior-Extermination Cannon into the space ring. He looked over at the white-faced general and said, “Long time no see!”
The general who worked under Nitian Hanxing had already met Su Yu once, on the day in the dungeons.
Su Yu was still far from being his match at the time time, but now…
Su Yu took a glance at the soldiers behind the general. He smiled faintly and said, “Quick, run for your life! He didn’t die in the hands of the Wizard Tribe, but instead got killed by Nitian Hanxing!”
He turned and left after he finished speaking.
The white-faced general wanted to stop him, but from Elder Huang’s personal experiences and what he had seen and heard, he dared not make a move forward.
Without the Superior-Extermination Cannon, he would be no match for Su Yu.
Watching Su Yu leave, he and the soldiers behind him went pale. With Nitian Hanxing’s viciousness and ruthless attitude, they would never be forgiven for such a big mistake.
The white-faced general felt extremely bitter as he turned to face the soldiers behind him. “Do you want to wait to die, or do you want to go into hiding with me in the Lost Nation and live on in a dishonorable existence?”
The soldiers were sorrowful, but who would want to die in this world?
“General Bai. We are willing to follow you; we will go where you go to!”
“Yes, General Bai. Why should we go back to the Empire? The Lost Nation is a vast land, and they are not necessarily all occupied by the Wizard Tribe. We will be able to find out about the future here.”
The white-faced general was waiting for these words, as he did not want to die as well. He raised his arm and shouted, “Alright! My brothers, follow me!”
Soon enough, there was no one left in the southwest position. All the guards have deserted their posts!
This matter was not kept a secret for long. When Guo Cheng found out about it, his expression changed drastically.
All that has transpired could be blamed on Guo Cheng. Had he not made a misjudgment and threatened the white-faced general to deploy his troops over, Su Yu wouldn’t have escaped so easily.
The white-faced general knew that he was. As the main culprit, how would Guo Cheng not know how it would all end for him?
“Su Yu, oh Su Yu! You have caused me so much pain!” Guo Cheng looked up at the sky and sighed.
Another military mutiny happened soon after. All the guards in the southern side deserted their post, taking away the four extremely precious Superior-Extermination Cannons with them!
This incident alerted their chief commander, Nitian Hanxing!
Since he had governed the army for so many years, there have never been such cases of desertion.
With a cold expression, Nitian Hanxing listened patiently as the guard commander of the southwest position explained about the whole situation. With a somber gaze, he slammed his hand on the table, shattering it into pieces!
“Su Yu! You incited two of my troops to desertion. I won’t let you live or die after this!”
“Pass on my orders: track down Su Yu!”
——
Once Su Yu was safe, he released Xueying and Cailin from the Buddha Pearl beyond countless mountains and rivers
Cailin did not know what had happened outside since they were in the space ring, but what had happened couldn’t be hidden from a Level-Three wizard such as Xueying. With a soft glow flickering in her colorful eyes, she asked, “How could you tell that Zhao Tianyin harbored evil intentions?”
In response, Su Yu laughed. “I could easily tell what he was thinking just by looking at his face. How can I still be unprepared?”
Cailin chuckled at Xueying. “The Saint tried to trick the wrong person. Su Yu is the ultimate schemer. Whoever tries to scheme against him often meets a terrible fate, no exceptions!”
From many experiences of being enemies to now friends, Cailin knew much more about this mysterious man.
“I am not sure whether you are praising criticizing me,” Su Yu said in a frustrated tone, “I distrusted Zhao Tianyin right from the beginning! If he had sincerely wanted to work together, I would never harm him. Unfortunately, he wanted to use me as bait and sacrifice me to fulfill his aim. All I can do in that case is retaliate!”
Xueying burst out laughing. “I guess it is that the Saint had fallen into the hands of the God Realm Great Army. Now, I… oh, I mean the Saint Lady can sit back and relax!”
However, Su Yu’s expression gradually became serious as he shook his head. “Sit back and relax? I don’t think so! The situation of the Wizard Tribe is no longer just about the competition between the two heirs. Now it’s a question of whether or not it will be safe.”
Upon hearing that, Xueying understood what Su Yu meant. Her overflowing joy was overwritten with seriousness.
The soldiers were moving towards the borders!
If the appearance of the soldiers from the God Realm in the cave wasn’t enough of a cause for worry, then the siege at the outpost should’ve been enough to alarm them!
The God Realm Great Army had approached the city gates. From there… they would soon make a move!
The other party came in full force, knowing how to use their troops skillfully. They attacked all the way to the center of the Lost Nation and pressed towards the gates of Fan Capital. This was a crisis that had never occurred before.
Nobody knew if the Wizard Tribe could survive this crisis, so the selection of the Sect Leader didn’t seem as significant.
Eager to report what she had seen and heard to know how vigilant the Wizard Tribe was, Xueying said, “I think we should return to the Saint Capital immediately!”
Su Yu said, “Your strength alone has little influence on the whole situation. The Sect Leader and two temple masters and mistresses are the ones in command. Even if you went back, there is nothing much you can do. You might as well stay on the front line. Based on your abilities, it’s easier for you to grasp the information and clues that the normal wizards can’t.”
After thinking about what he said, Xueying felt that what Su Yu said was reasonable. “I will listen to you, Brother Su.”
If she returned to the Saint Capital, her only role was to be enshrined as the Saint Lady, which would’ve far less effective than being on the front line.
Additionally, she had her own selfish desires.
If she just went back like that, it would no longer be easy for Xueying to stay by Su Yu’s side.
“Then where should we go? The Fan Capital is in danger, so should we go over and give them a tip-off?” Xueying had ideas, but a smart woman would leave the opportunities for the man to show off.
Su Yu said, “Fan Capital is not safe anymore! Nitian Hanxing is coming at us with all they got. He spent so much effort to organize a siege in the Black Forest. It seems like he is determined to take down Fan Capital, so there would definitely be ambushes around the Fan Capital. We just came out of a wolf den, so why would we now enter a tiger cave?”
“So where should we go now?” Su Yu’s thoughts coincided with Xueying’s, but she still pretended as if she had no definite views of her own.
Su Yu thought for a while. He opened up the dimension of the Buddha Pearl and released an unconscious young man.
“Wang Qingchen?” Xueying and Cailin were both shocked.
“I met him in Asura Forbidden Lands when he was injured and unconscious.” Su Yu frowned a little, “His injuries were a bit strange. Aside from the invaded Power of Asura, there was another wave of weird energy in him. While I was training by myself, I helped to treat him but to no avail.”
Even when Su Yu activated Milky Way Star Sand, the strange energy could not be extracted.
The strange energy entangled and fused with the Power of Asura. With the powers tightly fused in his body, his injuries were unable to heal. Thus, he fell into a comatose state.
With a doubtful expression, Xueying said, “Let me try.”
She placed her finger on Wang Qingchen’s abdominal area. A red and black light burst out and flicked her finger away.
The black energy was the Power of Asura, but it was unknown what the red energy was.
Xueying had a serious gaze. “It’s the Power of Red Dust!”
Seeing that Su Yu was slightly confused, Xueying said, “The Saint Capital guards the Forbidden Lands of Ten Thousand Demons, while the Fan Capital guards the Asura Forbidden Lands. As for the Red Dust Forbidden Lands, it is being guarded by the Wang Clan of Sheng Capital.”
The Red Dust Forbidden Lands was one of the three great forbidden lands that Su Yu had read in the ancient books.
Unlike the treacherous and unpredictable Asura Forbidden Lands, the Red Dust Forbidden Lands was peaceful and prosperous. It was as if it were heaven on Earth.
There was no violence or murder among the live spirits who lived there. Those of different races were able to date, fall in love, and marry each other.
All the cultivation resources were distributed fairly to each individual, and there was no such thing as survival of the fittest. Everyone stood and started at the same starting point.
Even the top powerful men had never underestimated the weaker juniors. They would patiently pass on and educate them about their cultivation experiences instead.
In the Red Dust Forbidden Lands, all the live spirits lived in peace and harmony.
That place was said to be a kingdom of everyone’s dreams. Being there, it would be as if someone was in a normal bustling mortal world.
Several live spirits of the Lost Nation admired this place. They would enter and assimilate into that worldly land.
They all stayed behind and never returned.
There had been no records of live spirits who left after entering.
