That night, Su Yu spent the night in Liu Wenyan’s teacher’s dormitory.

This was Su Yu’s first time staying overnight at Liu Wenyan’s house. Everything else was fine, but the old gentleman got up too many times in the middle of the night, causing Su Yu to wake up several times.

Indeed, time waits for no one.

Liu Wenyan, without his will materialized, is just an ordinary old man even after reaching the Thousand Jun realm.

…

Because he had cultivated once using the Na Yuan Formula and absorbed Yuan Qi, Su Yu felt that his cultivation speed had been quite fast these past two days.

It must have been the Yuan Qi tempering that day that briefly opened all nine apertures.

After the left ear aperture was opened, Su Yu felt that the right ear aperture was also about to open these past two days.

“Find a time to show that I’ve reached the fourth level of the Opening Yuan realm. Anyway, I’ve been at the third level for half a year, so it’s not strange that I suddenly have good luck and reach the fourth level.”

As for having a strong cultivation talent, what’s wrong with that?

He mainly studied Ten Thousand Clan languages before, so isn’t it okay if he didn’t work hard on cultivation?

Now that he’s working hard, quickly reaching the fourth level, or even the fifth level, isn’t that strange, right?

Su Yu thought to himself. The next day, he went to the academy with Liu Wenyan again.

Because he was with Liu Wenyan, Su Yu learned a lot more.

…

In the office.

The Mansion Master came again, not surprised to see Su Yu there. He had known about it yesterday.

“Tianshui City nearby was attacked these past two days. Many of the city guards were killed or injured.”

“On the Nan Yuan side, last night…” The Mansion Master paused before saying, “A small village near the mountains was attacked, and many people died. Only a few children hid in the cellar and escaped. The Ten Thousand Clan Sect did it. The city guards have already gone to chase them.”

Liu Wenyan said with a cold face, “These beasts!”

Soon, Liu Wenyan suppressed his anger and said, “They really came to Nan Yuan! It’s the same old trick, creating chaos and dispersing our forces. It seems they have big plans!”

After saying that, Liu Wenyan said, “Can’t the Dragon Martial Guards find their main force?”

“They can’t.”

The Mansion Master was also helpless. “They are deeply hidden. Nan Yuan doesn’t have enough manpower, and we can’t cast a wide net to search everywhere, otherwise it will be troublesome to defeat them one by one.”

“Then what did the Great Xia Mansion say?”

Liu Wenyan was a little anxious. The people from the Ten Thousand Clan Sect had really come.

Nan Yuan was just a small city, and its defense force was too weak. Great Xia Mansion had many elites. With a little support, the Ten Thousand Clan Sect wouldn’t dare to be so presumptuous.

“The City Lord has already issued a request for help, but other cities are also asking for help. The Great Xia Mansion still has to defend the Mansion City to prevent the Ten Thousand Clan Sect from creating chaos, so…”

“There are no reinforcements?” Liu Wenyan said angrily, “Then ask the universities for help!”

The Mansion Master said helplessly, “I did, but recently the front lines are recruiting soldiers, and many teachers and students from the universities have gone to the front lines and haven’t returned yet. The universities also need to be guarded, which is more important than Nan Yuan, so…”

“Can’t even a few Soaring Realm experts be spared?”

Liu Wenyan became even more annoyed. “They don’t lack Soaring Realm experts. If a few Soaring Realm experts come, the Ten Thousand Clan Sect’s forces in Nan Yuan won’t be too strong!”

The Mansion Master said depressedly, “Don’t get angry at me, it’s useless. Everyone is saying that all the cities are asking for help. Nan Yuan is not a key city among the 28 cities. Some cities are more important, and the Great Xia Mansion will definitely prioritize supporting them.”

Liu Wenyan was helpless when he heard this. “Such a big Great Xia Mansion is being tossed around by the Ten Thousand Clan Sect and asking for help everywhere. The Dragon Martial Guards… are really useless!”

“Cough, cough!”

The Mansion Master coughed lightly. Outside the door, a voice came in, “Instructor Liu, the Ten Thousand Clan Sect just chose the right time. Three thousand Dragon Martial Guards went to the battlefields of the heavens ten days ago, so… there is indeed not enough manpower.”

“That’s because your Dragon Martial Guards’ internal security is not enough. I didn’t even know that three thousand Dragon Martial Guards had left, but the Ten Thousand Clan Sect knew. Isn’t that your own fault!”

Liu Wenyan was not afraid of the Dragon Martial Guards and said bluntly, “Even if there’s nothing wrong with the Dragon Martial Guards, there’s also a problem with the Great Xia Mansion. There must be spies from the Ten Thousand Clan Sect, otherwise how would the Ten Thousand Clan Sect know that your main force has left and come to Great Xia Mansion to make trouble now!”

The people from the Dragon Martial Guards didn’t say anything. This was also the truth.

The people from the Ten Thousand Clan Sect came not long after the Dragon Martial Guards’ main force left. Obviously, the news was leaked.

Otherwise, with the Dragon Martial Guards guarding the Great Xia Mansion, the other party wouldn’t dare to come here rashly.

“Now is not the time to argue!”

The Mansion Master interrupted them and said, “Old Liu, why don’t you ask Great Xia Civilization Academy to borrow a few Soaring Realm experts?”

“I don’t need you to tell me. I asked this morning, but even if they come, it will take at least a day.”

“They agreed to send people?”

“They did agree, but…” Liu Wenyan said helplessly, “They won’t stay for too long. They said that after picking up these students, they will leave together and won’t help us defend.”

“That’s good!”

The Mansion Master was overjoyed that they were coming.

Liu Wenyan was not so excited. He was still dissatisfied and said, “Even if the Dragon Martial Guards have left, the Great Xia Mansion is in a mess. It’s embarrassing! I don’t know if it’s because Great Xia Mansion has been too comfortable these years and the military preparations have been relaxed!”

Only Liu Wenyan would say these words. The Mansion Master didn’t respond.

The Dragon Martial Guards outside didn’t respond either, because it was indeed a bit embarrassing. The Great Xia Mansion was known to have countless strong soldiers and generals, but as a result, it was overwhelmed by the Ten Thousand Clan Sect. This really didn’t match the strength of the Great Xia Mansion.

Su Yu acted as an observer throughout the whole process, listening silently and not interrupting.

These matters were for the high-level officials of Nan Yuan City, and he was not qualified to participate yet.

As for Liu Wenyan’s side, Su Yu was also a little strange. Although this person’s status was not low, his martial strength was weak. Discussing these matters with Liu Wenyan was actually not very useful, right?

As if seeing through Su Yu’s thoughts, Liu Wenyan paid some attention to him. Seeing him peeking at himself, he couldn’t help but chuckle and say, “What’s wrong, looking down on your teacher?”

“No.”

“Yes!”

“Really not!”

“I can see it!”

Liu Wenyan was like a child at this time, insisting on arguing for a win. He smiled and said, “Wait, you’ll know why your teacher can participate when the time comes!”

Su Yu didn’t quite understand the meaning of his words, and Liu Wenyan didn’t explain.
The head of the academy wanted to say something, but then closed his mouth after thinking about it.

He hoped there wouldn’t be an opportunity for Liu Wenyan to prove himself; it would be such a pity.

…………

Across the street from the academy, in a tall building.

A middle-aged man’s lips trembled slightly. “The City Guard has left the city. Except for a portion guarding the city gates and the City Lord’s mansion, the rest have gone out to suppress the Bloodfire Cult.”

“What about the Dragon Martial Guard?”

The woman asked. The middle-aged man shook his head. “No sign of the Dragon Martial Guard.”

“The Dragon Martial Guard is still in the city. Also… Nan Yuan is transferring those geniuses to the Great Xia Prefecture; they’ll be leaving the day after tomorrow.”

The man reported. The woman frowned slightly. “Bait?”

“Possibly.”

The man was also somewhat suspicious. “They’re evacuating for no good reason, and the order was issued yesterday. It might be to lure us out. What do you think we should do?”

“Have any powerful individuals secretly entered Nan Yuan City recently?”

“Probably not…”

“Probably?”

“We can’t be certain. We can’t monitor everything around the clock. But the informants haven’t sent any messages from the City Lord’s mansion or the Nan Yuan Middle Academy.”

The woman fell into thought. After thinking for a moment, she said, “We can’t let them leave. If they leave, even if we still get credit for massacring the Nan Yuan Middle Academy, the credit will be halved. If this year’s pre-exam genius students leave, the superiors won’t be satisfied.”

“I know.” The man hesitated a little. “But… the Dragon Martial Guard hasn’t been transferred away. They’re likely in the academy. If we act rashly and fail, it’ll be troublesome.”

As he was speaking, the communicator beside him rang. The man picked it up and looked at it. It was a communication message that looked like an advertisement.

However, the man’s expression changed slightly. He quickly said, “Either we cancel the operation, or… we need to do it as soon as possible! News from the Great Xia Prefecture is that Liu Wenyan asked the Great Xia Civilization Academy for help today. They agreed and will send someone to pick up these geniuses and leave Nan Yuan City soon.”

“Damn it!”

The woman cursed. “Liu Wenyan, that old codger again! He’s just one step away from Manifestation of Will, but his chances of crossing over are slim. The Civilization Academy actually agreed to send help… he has more influence than I thought.”

The man didn’t say anything, waiting for the woman to vent her anger. He continued, “What do we do now? City Lord Wu Wenhai and Dragon Martial Guard Xia Bing are both Sky Soaring Second Level. If the Civilization Academy sends someone, we’ll have to give up…”

As he spoke, the man hesitated a little, but still said, “The Great Xia Prefecture is powerful. We were only able to create chaos this time because the main force of the Dragon Martial Guard left. Once the main force returns… we must retreat. The superiors previously adopted a wait-and-see attitude towards the Great Xia Prefecture. Why this time…”

For this operation, the superiors were even willing to expose some pieces that had been dormant for a long time.

Even if the plan succeeded, the losses would be significant.

The man didn’t quite understand. Even if they killed some geniuses, such losses would be difficult to compensate for.

Some people had spent many years just to lie dormant.

The woman had a higher position in the cult than him and knew more than him. He was only responsible for contacting various parties.

“Don’t ask what you shouldn’t!”

The woman coldly replied. After thinking for a moment, she added, “Actually, it’s nothing much. What’s needed is for the Great Xia Prefecture to be in chaos, and for the Dragon Martial Guard to return! The Dragon Martial Guard’s target this time in the Heavens Battlefield is the Heavenly Yi God Clan!”

Hearing this, the man’s expression changed.

The Heavenly Yi God Clan was also the god clan they had pledged allegiance to. Could it be…

“The god clan… is afraid of the Dragon Martial Guard?”

The man didn’t dare to think about it. But the woman knew what he was thinking and sneered, “Although the Dragon Martial Guard is strong, the god clan isn’t afraid of them! But recently, the god clan is attacking the Heavenly Eye Clan, and if the Dragon Martial Guard gets involved, it will disrupt the plan.”

“The Heavenly Eye Clan!” The man hurriedly said, “Is the god clan going to launch a war?”

“No, it’s to bring the Heavenly Eye Clan back to order!”

The woman said, then stopped talking about those things and returned to the topic. “You, me, and another Hall Master at Sky Soaring Fourth Level will arrive tonight! He’ll deal with Xia Bing, I’ll hold off Wu Wenhai, and you’ll lead people to destroy the Nan Yuan Academy!”

“Destroying the Nan Yuan Academy will complete the mission, and we’ll retreat immediately!”

“Tomorrow evening… the operation!”

As the woman’s voice fell, the man hesitated, then quickly said, “Understood!”

Choosing the evening was because the students would have left and wouldn’t be able to gather together. Killing them one by one wouldn’t be worth it.

Acting in the evening and then retreating would quickly lead to darkness, making it easier to leave.

The man had no objections to this. He was just a little worried. After accepting the order, he still reminded, “Besides Wu Wenhai and Xia Bing, I’m worried that Liu Wenyan will be stimulated into Manifestation of Will, which would be troublesome.”

“Good point, we have to guard against that!”

The woman didn’t think he was worrying too much; this was indeed a variable. “But there are three of us at Sky Soaring, and they only have two, and they’re only at Sky Soaring Second Level. Even if Liu Wenyan really Manifests his Will, without time to temper his body, even if his willpower reaches Sky Soaring, his physical body is still at Myriad Stone. You should be able to handle it.”

“This…”

As the man was about to say something, the woman’s eyes turned cold. “He’s already over seventy, his physical body is decaying. Even if he Manifests his Will, it’s nothing. Are you saying you can’t even handle Liu Wenyan?”

“No!”

The man hurriedly said, “I’m worried that if I deal with Liu Wenyan, there will be no one to deal with the other members of the Dragon Martial Guard. They’re all at Myriad Stone Realm. We also have Myriad Stone Realm members, but once the Dragon Martial Guard’s battle formation is formed, only Sky Soaring Realm can resist.”

“You’re just talking about a possibility. Liu Wenyan hasn’t been able to Manifest his Will for so many years. Why would he definitely do it this time?”

That’s what the woman said, but she quickly added, “Then let the Hall Master at Sky Soaring Fourth Level hold off the entire Dragon Martial Guard. Xia Bing is only at Sky Soaring Second Level; he’s enough to deal with! You quickly kill Liu Wenyan and then go help him deal with the Dragon Martial Guard!”

“Okay!”

The man breathed a sigh of relief. That was good. Sky Soaring Fourth Level should be able to handle it.
Furthermore, he was also at the second level of Soaring, so he didn’t need to worry too much. The woman was even stronger than him, a hall master level figure in the Ten Thousand Races Cult. A hall master in Nanyuan, of course, only at the peak of the third level of Soaring.

After all, Nanyuan City was small, and it was already unexpected that the Ten Thousand Races Cult had arranged two Soaring realm individuals here.

In this area, the Great Xia Prefecture only had the city lord and the head of the Dragon Martial Guard, both at the Soaring realm.

The main force of the Great Xia Prefecture was at the front lines, and the garrison strength in the rear was not too strong. The Ten Thousand Races Cult didn’t need to go to the front lines or defend a specific location, so personnel deployment was more convenient than for the Great Xia Prefecture.

“Eternal True God!”

The woman’s lips trembled slightly, and the man quickly followed, silently chanting.

The God Race!

He couldn’t contain the desire in his eyes, the God Race!

Eternal life!

If he could earn enough merit to enter the God Realm, to enter the legendary Divine Transformation Pool, and transform his human foundation into that of a God… that would be eternal life!

Limitless life!

Flames rose in the man’s eyes. The God points given by the higher-ups this time were considerable. With a dozen more missions like this, he could exchange for a chance to enter the God Realm.

“Fifty years… I must enter the God Realm within fifty years, or I will die of old age…”

The man murmured in his heart. He didn’t want to betray the human race, but he… wanted eternal life!

He couldn’t forget his teacher, a powerhouse at the ninth level of Soaring, who had died in bed that year due to the decline of his physical body. He was afraid.

The Soaring realm only grants a lifespan of about one hundred and fifty years.

He was already over sixty years old. Although his physical body hadn’t reached the point of decline, it had been more than ten years since he cultivated from the first to the second level of Soaring. Could he hope to reach the ninth level in this lifetime?

There was no hope!

Only by joining the God Race could he exchange for eternal life.

“I’m not wrong, the human race will not be a match for the ten thousand races! The limitless power of the human realm cannot resist the ten thousand races. It will fall sooner or later, sooner or later. My choice is not wrong!”

The man’s expression gradually became firm, and he became more and more devout. For the God Race, even a Soaring realm individual could easily live for a thousand years. With a thousand years, no matter what, he could take another step forward.

That was eternal life, eternal years!
