The Divine Nine-Dragon Cauldron Novel - Chapter 1430
Chapter 1430: Homosexuality
The ambitious Moonview Sect Leader had always wanted to conquer the Red Dust Forbidden Lands. But in the end, he became one of them.
Once, someone observed the ambitious leader spreading manure and watering the vegetables, kindly and enthusiastically, like an old farmer.
Since then, the entrance to the Red Dust Forbidden Lands had been sealed up, which prevented any live spirits from going in.
The danger of the Red Dust Forbidden Lands was that for the live spirits who entered, their minds would be controlled. And, be it life or death, they would be trapped there for eternity.
The level of danger there was greater even than in the Asura Forbidden Lands!
The most disturbing thing about this place was that there was only one level in the Red Dust Forbidden Lands. If the seal of that level was broken, the land would descend into the world and the whole of Lost Nation would be brought with it. Therefore, all the live spirits would lose themselves and be controlled.
As for what was sealed within the Red Dust Forbidden Lands, no one was able to discover.
It was even more mysterious than the Asura Forbidden Lands!
But since the Red Dust Forbidden Lands had been sealed up for many years, how could the Power of Red Dust appear in Wang Qingchen’s body?
“It’s better for the doer to undo what he has done. The ones who know most about the Red Dust Forbidden Lands is the Wang Clan. I believe that only they would know why this power would appear in the body of their heir,” Xueying said.
Su Yu nodded, “The Sheng Capital and the Fan Capital are separated by the Black Forest. The distance between them is not great, and it is the best place to get news about what is happening in the Fan Capital. Firstly, we will get Wang Qingchen treated, and then, we can use Sheng Capital as a base to gather information.
Once again, Su Yu’s suggestions were in tune with her ideas, and Xueying accepted them with praise.
She couldn’t help but feel elated, as if she was happier, then when she made her own decisions.
“What are you smiling about?” Su Yu noticed her weird expression.
Xueying’s heart skipped a beat and said quickly, “No, it’s nothing!”
She immediately lowered her head and shyly avoided Su Yu’s eyes.
Su Yu felt a little uncomfortable seeing this. He had always regarded Xueying as a little awkward, and the way he looked at him was different from how he looked at the others. Su Yu couldn’t help whispering to himself, “Could it be that Xueying is gay?”
Su Yu had goosebumps all over him, thinking about that. He silently kept his distance and said, “Let’s go immediately.”
A group of flickering figures, which were like some invisible weird live spirits, appeared the moment they left.
They saw the direction Su Yu headed for from afar, and whispered, “Report back to the chief commander. They did not go back to the Saint Capital, they went to Sheng Capital instead.”
Sheng Capital was located on the west side of the Black Forest, and together with the Saint Capital in the north and Fan Capital in the east, they enjoyed the advantage of rendering instant mutual assistance in any event.
The position of the three capitals formed a standard triangular shape, which was quite imposing.
Sheng Capital was not as prosperous as Fan Capital. As it was located at the western end, the resources were scarce compared with the east, hence, few wizards would go there in search of resources.
But that was in comparison with the Fan Capital. In terms of prosperity, the Sheng Capital was still greater than the lands of the Four Great Empires.
In the past, the Sheng Capital was bustling. However, when Su Yu and his companions arrived, the gates were shut, and troops of the Wang Clan were patrolling the city wall.
The expressions on their faces were as if Sheng Capital was about to go to war, and not with the Fan Capital.
Su Yu was full of praise at what he saw, “Although they are both important officials who guard the borders, there’s a world of difference between the Wang Clan and Chu Clan.
At this time, the Chu Clan did not have arrangements in place and were extremely relaxed. Yet, the Wang Clan, who was further away, was on full alert. The difference between the two was evident.
Anti-flight seals were placed in the sky, so it was impossible to fly. There were soldiers standing guard and patrolling every part of the city wall.
The only way into the capital was to enter via the gates.
However, the gates were sealed shut, and only a door, enough for one person, was open. There were several Level Three wizards behind the door, who were there to personally verify the identity of the people entering.
A strip of paper sealed the gates. It read, “During this time, one can only enter Sheng Capital and not leave. If it is not important, please stay away from Sheng Capital.”
This was done to prevent enemy spies from entering the city in disguise. It was not like the outpost in the Black Forest, where you can enter and leave freely, as long as you pay up. In the end, the soldiers who guarded the Wizard Phoenix had been bribed, causing the outpost to be surrounded and wiped out.
Su Yu and his two companions approached the door and queued up to enter.
“Next,” someone shouted from the door, and Su Yu lowered his head and entered.
Just as he entered, a sharp sword was placed across his neck. It was a sword that was of the level of an emperor-based saint artifact, that would be able to decapitate even a level three deity.
There were also two strong curses waiting to be cast at Su Yu at any moment.
” What? A man of the God Realm? It seems like the killing of the spy previously was not enough, and you dare to come to the Sheng Capital and pry for information!” a pale old man shouted.
Su Yu was taken aback and he said, “I am…”
“I don’t care who you are. Who would come to the Sheng Capital now, other than a spy?” The pale old man assumed a threatening pose and prepared to slash Su Yu with the sword.
Luckily, another old man beside him restrained him. “Zheng Laodao, take a look again to see who that is?”
The ill-tempered old man was Zheng Laodao. He looked fixedly at Su Yu and thought he looked familiar. He paused for a moment and was startled, “Is it you, Su Yu?”
If there was one person from the God Realm in the Lost Nation that they acknowledged, and that they would not be hostile with, it was Su Yu.
The Sect Leader vouched for him personally, that he was from the God Realm and meant no harm.
Su Yu pushed away the sword on his neck with his finger, he didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry. “I didn’t die by the hands of those people in Fan Capital, but I almost got decapitated by you in Sheng Capital!”
Then they realized that Su Yu had just come back from participating in the duels.
Embarrassed, Zheng Laodao bowed his head. He laughed and said, “My temper is like that. I didn’t recognize you for a moment, don’t mind me, little friend! You just returned from Fan Capital, do you know what the situation is over there?”
With a grave look, the old man added, “You may not know this, but we discovered a group of strangers from the God Realm in the Sheng capital, who had been going around prying for information. Fortunately, we found them out and captured them in time. That was when we learned that the God Realm Great Army had reached the city gates of Fan Capital and that Sheng Capital will be the next target.”
Su Yu looked surprised. What kind of spy would allow themselves to be captured so easily while prying for information, and volunteer the news of the arrival of God Realm Great Army at Fan Capital?
However, it was no wonder that Sheng Capital’s defenses were as if they were about to face a strong enemy.
“That’s right. We tried to contact that old boy, Chu Long. But in the end, we did not hear from him, so we know nothing about what’s going on in Fan Capital right now,” Zheng Laodao snorted with disdain. He must have been a straightforward person, calling the master of the Chu Clan by his name like that.
Su Yu said in a deep voice, “I believe you all may have misunderstood Chu Long. It’s not that he was not willing to send a reply, but he was unable to.”
Zheng Laodao turned his nose up. “Who does he think he is? Our master personally sent a message, and he is not going to reply? Why can’t he?”
“He can’t do it, because he is dead!”
The four-level, three wizards were appalled upon hearing this, “What? The Chu Clan Master is dead? How did he die?”
The death of a clan master was no less than a massive earthquake in magnitude.
Su Yu said, “It’s a long story. I have also brought back Wang Qingchen. He was gravely injured, and we need your master to take a look at him personally. If it is convenient, I would like to see him right away.”
They panicked when they heard that Wang Qingchen was gravely injured, and they quickly made arrangements. “Follow us back to the Wang Mansion!” they said.
“However, I’m afraid you will have to wait if you want to see our master,” Zheng Laodao said. “Before you arrived, the Saint Capital sent someone here to ask about the situation at Fan Capital, and our master is in a meeting with them at this very moment.”
“Oh? Who came?” Xueying’s eyes were full of expectation.
Zheng Laodao said, unconcernedly, “this is an important matter, and both Master of Saint Temple and Mistress of Saint Lady Temple is present, and they brought along members of their temples.”
Xueying was overjoyed and exclaimed, “Shifu… oh, I mean, the temple mistress is here too!”
Su Yu wasn’t surprised. He thought for a moment and said, “What I am going to talk about is a matter of great importance, so it’s best that they all hear it. I need to inform your master about the death of Chu Long, and the arrival of the God Realm Great Army in Fan Capital. I want to make these matters clear to everyone.”
On hearing what Su Yu said, Zheng Laodao agreed that it made sense. It would be best if all three distinguished leaders were there, for such an important event.
“Alright! First, wait in here!” Zheng Laodao brought them to the mansion’s side hall and left in a hurry.
Soon, he came back and said, “Let’s go quickly. The three lords wanted to come over personally and ask you questions when they heard what you had said.”
It was evident that they were shocked by the news that had been brought back by Su Yu.
When they arrived at the main hall, there was the sage-like Wang Clan Master and the Mistress of Saint Lady Temple, who was silent and had her eyes closed. There was also the very quiet Master of Saint Temple.
Standing behind the Saint Temple’s Master and Saint Lady Temple’s Mistress, there were several high-ranked Level Three wizards.
They, and all the members of the temples, had mixed reactions about Su Yu’s arrival.
The Mistress of Saint Lady Temple and her temple’s members were pleased to see him, but the attitude of the Master of Saint Temple was not so welcoming.
Wang Clan Master stood up to greet him, and said, “Congratulations my little friend, for a victorious return!”
Although he was smiling, there was a troubled look in his eyes that could not be ignored.
Su Yu made a slight bow with both hands clasped in front of him. He sat down straight away and said, “This is an urgent situation. I will tell you everything that I have experienced, one by one, in front of all three seniors.”
Su Yu then related everything in detail, from entering the Asura Forbidden Lands to meeting Wang Qingchen, to the changes in Asura Forbidden Lands, and about sowing discord amongst the three ferocious beasts. He also told them about Chu Long killing Ling Wu.
The only thing he kept from them, was that he had got the keys, to the level one and level two, of the Asura Forbidden Lands.
Everyone was horrified upon hearing what he said.
Wang Clan Master said in shock, “They dared to mess with the seals, and assassinate Ling Wu?”
Su Yu said nothing more, and instead conjured up the holographic record of events for everyone to see.
The Mistress of Saint Lady Temple said with a cold gaze, “He who has committed so many injustices is doomed to destruction! If he dared to harbor thoughts about the forbidden lands, even death would be too good for him!”
Although Chu Long’s death was unexpected, it had finally been explained.
“Let’s proceed and talk about the God Realm Great Army.”
The faces of all three of them turned serious, as this was what they were most concerned about.
Su Yu described the ambush in the cave and the siege at the outpost in detail.
After they heard everything, based on their many years of experience, they came to the same conclusion as Su Yu. The God Realm Great Army would declare war on the Fan Capital.
And, it was to be very soon!
“Wang Clan Master, I will immediately dispatch a troop to the vicinity of Fan Capital to get more information, and with that, I will take my leave!” The Master of Saint Temple had an uneasy look as he left the hall in a hurry.
