The next day.

Early in the morning, outside the Yuan Shen Research Institute.

Wang Zhishan and Chen Ming had both arrived. Looking at the talented students and powerful researchers coming and going, they couldn’t help but feel envious.

Birds of a feather flock together.

Unless you reach that level, the people you associate with are completely different. They usually only interact with ordinary students, while Su Yu’s circle consists of well-known talented students.

After waiting for a while, Su Yu came out.

“Sorry, you two have been waiting!”

Su Yu looked at the time, just 7 o’clock, these two arrived quite early.

Chen Ming quickly said, “Class Monitor, we came early.”

Su Yu smiled and didn’t say much, quickly saying, “Then let’s go to the Myriad Clan Pit.”

The three set off together. They didn’t walk all the way but first went to the Beast Taming Academy to rent an Earth Dragon Beast. It was large, suitable for multiple riders, not very strong, but tough and thick-skinned.

Renting it for a day cost 1 merit point.

Not expensive, mainly for convenience.

As for cars, they were inconvenient on rough roads sometimes, so these kinds of demon beasts were better suited for the terrain.

…

Outside the Civilization Academy.

Su Yu and the others were riding the Earth Dragon Beast, which moved quickly, its back quite flat, with little jolting.

The pedestrians on the street were used to it. This was the Great Xia Prefecture, the capital city.

In this place, there were many strong people flying in the sky every day.

Riding demon beasts was also common. Of course, you generally needed a permit. Without a certificate, you couldn’t fly in the sky or ride demon beasts, to avoid traffic congestion in the city. The Civilization Academy, of course, had this qualification.

The Earth Dragon Beast moved forward rapidly. Wang Zhishan, afraid that Su Yu didn’t understand the situation, quickly said, “Su Yu, it’s about an hour to the Myriad Clan Pit. Normally, the executions of the Myriad Clan cultists are done there. The place isn’t too dangerous, but after some strong people die, they still leave behind a lot of resentment and baleful aura. Don’t go there to nurture your divine runes; it’s enough to find some places with weak baleful aura.”

“Senior Wang is right.”

Su Yu nodded, not saying much, and kept observing the changes in the perception jade.

Out and about, he didn’t dare to be careless now.

As for what Old Wan said, guaranteeing that the Mountain Sea Realm and above wouldn’t attack him, that… who knew if Old Wan’s words could be trusted, so it was better to be careful.

The perception jade flashed from time to time, usually blue.

This meant that there were Ascending Clouds observing him!

Su Yu wasn’t surprised. There were many Ascending Clouds in Great Xia Prefecture, possibly on the roadside. Although he had to be careful, he didn’t need to panic too much.

He hadn’t detected any Rising Sky Realm yet, he didn’t know if they weren’t interested in observing them or if he hadn’t encountered them.

…

At the same time.

Great Xia Prefecture, suburbs.

In a large mansion.

This was a large household in the suburbs, quite well-known locally, but it couldn’t compare to the big families and clans in the city, although there was still an Ascending Cloud sitting in town, and more than one Ascending Cloud had come from the family.

Basement.

At this moment, the surrounding restrictions were activated, and the lights were dim.

“Su Yu is going to the Myriad Clan Pit!”

In the basement, several figures were vaguely visible.

“Su Yu… this is a big fish! The reward was 5,000 contribution points before, now it’s increased, a full 8,000 merit points, provided he’s captured alive!”

After a moment, an old woman’s voice was sharp, “I know, I heard he set up some kind of research institute, researching… Yuan Shen Apertures? Do the higher-ups really believe it? A young kid who just enrolled, saying he can discover a Yuan Shen Aperture that even the Invincible couldn’t find, do you believe it?”

The old woman’s tone was filled with contempt and doubt.

Yuan Shen Aperture!

The research institute that was established just yesterday, today the news has already spread. Great Xia Prefecture… it’s hard to keep secrets, the same in all the major prefectures.

However, Su Yu’s opening of three hundred apertures was also a reason why many people felt he had a chance of success.

Maybe he really discovered something!

To the left of the old woman, an old man with white hair was smoking a water pipe, the smoke filled the air, and he laughed, “Whether we believe it or not doesn’t matter, what matters is that the people above are interested. In fact, there are many people interested in him. Opening three hundred apertures… how long has it been? I’m afraid it’s not just for the Yuan Shen Aperture, he himself is an excellent research material… Moreover, he has mastered the cultivation method of the Soul Devouring Art, including some of the talent essence blood data from the Wen Tan Research Center, he should have inherited it…”

Su Yu’s value is not low!

If he is really captured alive, and they can extract something from his mouth, it’s worth more than 8,000 contribution points.

“And the Xia family’s Sky Opening Blade, he is cultivating the top-tier Heaven-level one, and I heard he also knows several Heaven-level cultivation techniques… This guy’s value is huge.”

After the old man finished speaking, the old woman frowned as soon as she heard it, “The Xia family’s Sky Opening Blade… This is Great Xia Prefecture, coveting this thing is asking for death! If the Xia family dares to pass it on, they are not afraid of being known, the key is who dares to learn it? Without the Xia family’s permission, if our people use it, even if they reach the Sun and Moon realm… they can’t escape the Xia family’s pursuit!”

It’s best not to have any ideas about this thing!

That’s looking for death!

The old man laughed, “I won’t open my mind to the Sky Opening Blade, and the higher-ups may not dare to learn it, but if we can know it, even if it’s sealed up, or studied, then we can understand the Xia family somewhat.”

Sky Opening Blade… there are many people who covet it. Over the years, apart from those who have been permitted by the Xia family, it’s not that no one has learned it, but without exception, anyone who revealed that they could do it didn’t live long.

As for whether anyone knows it now but is hiding it, it’s not clear. Anyway, no one dares to use it in public. That’s the power of the Xia family.

Even if you are given the chance to learn, you wouldn’t dare to learn!

Without talking much about the Xia family, the old man looked at the other people in the room.

In addition to him and the old woman, there were a total of 5 people.

There was also a young man, a young woman, and a boy who looked like a child.
“What do you guys say… are we going to make a move? The Dragon Martial Guards are all around the Ten Thousand Races Pit. Once we enter the city, we wouldn’t dare to act. If we really want to, there’s a distance of about 20 li between the Ten Thousand Races Pit and the inner city. We can’t get close to the inner city, nor can we get close to the Ten Thousand Races Pit… At most, 10 li is our chance to strike.”

10 li, at the speed of an earth dragon beast, can be covered in about 5 minutes.

If they really want to act, this is the opportunity.

The boy who hadn’t spoken before said in a childish voice, “Su Yu is a genius of the Civilization Academy. When he goes out, will there be anyone secretly protecting him? That’s the key! If someone is secretly protecting him… then we’re just asking for death!”

The old man continued to puff on his water pipe and laughed, “Chen Yong hasn’t left the library, that’s for sure. As for the others… I don’t know. The message from above is that Su Yu went out with two students, one who hasn’t even reached the nurturing stage, and the other who has only recently reached it. Su Yu himself… is not weak. A sky soaring level one or two might not be able to take him down.”

They didn’t underestimate Su Yu either.

Their assessment was that a sky soaring level one or two might not be able to defeat him. To act, one sky soaring level one certainly wouldn’t be enough.

For a freshman, this is a very high strength assessment, after all, Su Yu is a student on the Top 100 list who may take first place.

“What about Hong Tan? Will he appear?”

“…”

Mentioning Hong Tan, the others fell silent. They couldn’t understand the realm of a half-step Sun and Moon.

The boy’s voice was still childish, but he was a little worried, “I’m afraid Hong Tan will appear, and then we’ll just die! Does Su Yu, such a genius, have no protection measures when he goes out?”

Thinking about it from their perspective, if it were their genius, someone would protect them.

The old woman said sharply, “Where would the Multi-Divinity Writing Department get the manpower! Chen Yong is the strongest now. Hong Tan is in closed-door cultivation to break through to the Sun and Moon realm, how could he possibly come out! Bai Feng has gone to the battlefield of the heavens, who else is there to help them? Aren’t the elders like Wu Yuehua working, just protecting a student all day long?”

Seeing that the others were still not speaking, the old woman said angrily, “Capture him, 8,000 points of contribution! With five of us, each of us gets 1,600 points, enough for us to exchange for some treasures, and maybe even have a chance to enter the Soaring Cloud realm… Or are we just going to waste away until the Soaring Cloud realm? If we don’t do this, is there a chance?”

Su Yu is currently the one with the lowest strength but the highest reward.

A full 8,000 contribution points, even assassinating a Soaring Cloud wouldn’t give that much.

The key is that such a genius might have other good things on him.

For example, a literary soldier, although an unmatched literary soldier is hard to sell.

And there are also some top-secret exercises, not just the Sky-Opening Blade.

For example, essence blood, vitality liquid, and even other heavenly materials and earthly treasures, these geniuses may carry them with them, after all, Su Yu is going to cultivate.

Everyone was silent for a long time. The old man knocked on his pipe, and the old woman quieted down.

After a while, the old man said, “It wasn’t easy to establish this base! The five of us are all in the Soaring Sky realm. We’ve been lurking here for so many years and have provided a lot of information to the sect. We’ve done a lot of work, and we get a lot of rewards every year. We can get two or three hundred points of contribution a year…”

For a few Soaring Sky realm experts, this is not a small amount.

Bai Feng only got three or four hundred points of merit in the academy back then.

But compared to the reward for capturing Su Yu, one time is worth seven or eight years of work.

Su Yu himself is not dangerous to them, what’s scary is that someone is protecting him, that’s very dangerous.

The old man was silent for a while, then said again, “Crazy woman, go and observe along the way, you don’t have to act unless you’re sure there are no protectors. Otherwise, everyone be careful, we’ve been lurking here for so many years, don’t lose it all for one mission!”

“Also, ask the superiors again, is there anyone protecting Su Yu? The Multi-Divinity Writing Department may not have anyone available, but it’s hard to say about the Civilization Academy…”

The old woman said sharply, “Okay, I’ll go take a look! We’re not in a hurry, we won’t make a move on the way there, we’ll talk about it when he comes back!”

At this time, the young woman in the basement suddenly laughed, “The boy and I will also go and observe, get closer to the Ten Thousand Races Pit and see if there are any abnormalities if there are strong people following.”

“Okay!”

The old man nodded and said in a deep voice, “If we don’t act, we must be sure! 8,000 contribution points are not so easy to get, if it were easy, they wouldn’t give this price. Let’s treat him as if he were in the Soaring Cloud realm. If we really act, we’ll go all out, all five of us will act at the same time!”

Of the five, the young woman and the old woman are both in the seventh level of the Soaring Sky realm, he is in the ninth level of the Soaring Sky realm, and the boy and the young man are in the fifth and third levels of the Soaring Sky realm, respectively.

With such strength, they can fight even if they encounter the Soaring Cloud realm.

If it’s just Su Yu, it’s naturally not difficult at all.

…………

The earth dragon beast was running fast.

Wang Zhishan and Chen Ming were chatting in low voices, while Su Yu was looking around, as if he had never been out of the city before, with some curiosity.

It’s not that he hadn’t been out of the city, he had seen it when he entered the city that day.

But it has to be said that the Great Xia Mansion is indeed quite prosperous and powerful.

Even the suburbs are bustling with traffic and people.

Wang Zhishan reminded, “We’ll be there soon. The earth dragon beast is fast, there are fewer people in the suburbs, and we’ll be there soon.”

The inner city is actually very large, and it takes a long time to get from the Civilization Academy to the city gate.

Once you get here, it’s actually close to the Ten Thousand Races Pit.

Su Yu nodded with a smile, and the Perception Jade was still running in his mind. There are much fewer strong people in the suburbs, and the Perception Jade has hardly changed.

The earth dragon beast ran for a while, there were fewer people, and the road ahead was very wide, but there were fewer pedestrians.

Just then, Su Yu’s Perception Jade changed slightly.

Blue!

There is a Soaring Sky realm expert observing me!

Su Yu didn’t show any sign of it, looked around, as if he was looking at the scenery, and said with a smile, “Senior Wang, are there many Soaring Sky realm experts outside the city?”

Wang Zhishan smiled and said, “The Soaring Sky realm is generally the backbone force, there are quite a few in the Great Xia Mansion, there are also some outside the city, some passing by, and some settling down near here.”

“Settling down?”
Su Yu asked curiously, “The Yuan Qi is more abundant in the city, why not go to the city?”

“Those in the Soaring realm should have the means to do so, right?”

Wang Zhishan explained, “There are many strong individuals in the city. If you, as someone in the Soaring realm, go to the city, you might not be considered a big shot. In the suburbs, your status is quite high. Some in the Soaring realm have businesses here, with mines and factories being theirs. It’s not worse than being in the city, and it’s not easy to provoke strong individuals.”

Su Yu nodded. At that moment, his gaze fell on an old woman.

He didn’t look for long, quickly shifting his gaze, as if he had just casually glanced over.

The old woman was walking slowly along the roadside, giving way slightly when the earth dragon beast approached.

Su Yu ignored her, but was cautious in his heart.

“Could it be her?”

“Soaring realm!”

“So low-key?”

In this day and age, it’s normal for strong individuals to be low-key, but being so low-key as to give way to your own earth dragon beast… that’s not normal.

Is the Soaring realm that lacking in status?

Giving way to someone just because they see an earth dragon beast?

He had encountered several people in the Soaring realm on the way, and they usually wouldn’t give way unless they were blocking the road. The old woman was just on the side of the road, why would she give way?

Su Yu didn’t say anything. The earth dragon beast ran quickly, leaving the area.

Behind him, the old woman continued to walk slowly.

After Su Yu left, the old woman looked towards Su Yu’s direction, then walked slowly for a while longer. After about two or three minutes, the old woman confirmed that no one was really following, unless it was someone in the Mountain and Sea realm.

Otherwise, even if it was someone in the Ascending Cloud realm, she would have sensed it.

“No one!”

“So bold!”

The old woman was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, she figured the other party thought they were operating within the Great Xia Mansion, so it was normal not to bring anyone, and besides… they might not have anyone to bring.

The old woman didn’t say anything and continued to move forward silently.

…

At the same time.

In mid-air.

A middle-aged man, traversing the void, glanced at the old woman below, frowned slightly, didn’t say much, and left quickly.

The old woman below didn’t notice anything unusual.

The middle-aged man flew while using a sound transmission talisman to say, “Old Hu, there are quite a few people in the Soaring realm on the road, all with names and backgrounds that can be traced. I haven’t found anything unusual! Oh, right, Su Yu brought his own guardian beasts, two in the Ascending Cloud realm.”

Great Xia Mansion.

Chief Steward Hu chuckled. This little guy was well-prepared and quite afraid of death.

He was just going to the Myriad Clan Pit and he brought two guardian beasts in the Ascending Cloud realm.

“The Myriad Clan Pit…”

“Nurturing divine runes?”

Chief Steward Hu fell into deep thought. Was he really going to nurture divine runes?

The Metaphysical Research Institute had just been established. Su Yu wasn’t staying at the institute, so why go to the Myriad Clan Pit?

He was a bit suspicious. He didn’t say much and quickly transmitted, “Keep following, be careful! Although the Metaphysical Acupoint is just a concept, many people are interested in Su Yu opening 300 acupoints.”

They still had to be careful.

The Metaphysical Acupoint was just a concept and hadn’t really been discovered. If it really was discovered… then it wasn’t an issue that a single person in the Mountain and Sea realm could stop. It could change the entire situation of the human realm. That would likely be a situation where even invincible individuals would be assassinated.

Of course, that was assuming Su Yu hadn’t exposed the information. If the news spread, killing Su Yu wouldn’t be very useful.

Chief Steward Hu was even thinking about whether to quickly take over the research institute once Su Yu really discovered the Metaphysical Acupoint.

Thinking of this, he suddenly chuckled.

He was actually thinking about Su Yu succeeding!

How interesting!

…

The Myriad Clan Pit was getting closer.

From a distance, they saw a blood-red mist drifting, as if the place was shrouded in blood.

Even from a distance, Su Yu felt the killing intent and couldn’t help but say, “How many people had to be killed?”

Wang Zhishan said with a bitter smile, “Don’t you know our Mansion Lord? Everyone in the Great Xia Mansion knows that he doesn’t leave anyone alive, beheading people every now and then! Our Great Xia Mansion has prisons, but no death row inmates. The death row inmates either go to the Battlefield of the Heavens or are dragged here to be beheaded. How many people do you think have died in the last few decades?”

Su Yu recalled that he often saw Xia Longwu beheading people on TV.

At least once a month, beheading at least ten people each time.

At least a hundred people a year.

And that was during normal times. Like this year, with the Myriad Clan Sect making a lot of noise, he had beheaded several thousand people before and after.

All in all, the Myriad Clan Pit had buried at least tens of thousands of people, or even more.

And they were all cultivators!

Their Qi and blood were strong, and some civil servants even had their willpower dissipated, causing the evil Qi here to surge.

“The Mansion Lord’s killing intent is indeed very strong!”

Su Yu nodded. Only a Mansion Lord like that could suppress the Great Xia Mansion and prevent the Myriad Clan Sect from causing too much trouble. He had heard that in other great mansions, members of the Myriad Clan Sect dared to appear in broad daylight and promote their beliefs.

Ahead was the Myriad Clan Pit.

Su Yu had already seen the Dragon Martial Guards!

The Dragon Martial Guards patrolled this place.

Su Yu’s earth dragon beast didn’t dare to go forward anymore. It was still hundreds of meters away from the Myriad Clan Pit. There was a rest pavilion here, and also horse-tying posts.

There were also people guarding this place.

Seeing Su Yu’s earth dragon beast, the mansion guard quickly said, “From the Great Xia Civilization Academy? How long will you be staying? Keeping the earth dragon beast here costs 1 point of merit a day!”

“…”

Su Yu was helpless and complained in his heart.

“What a robbery!”

“How come the Great Xia Mansion is always robbing people now?”

Although he was helpless, he still had to stop. It was an exclusive business. Take it or leave it. If he didn’t, the earth dragon beast would run away, and Su Yu would have to compensate the academy hundreds of merits.

He got off the earth dragon beast and began to store it.

Next to him, a young woman was also storing her mount with a child.

It was a Swift Cloud Horse!

Su Yu had seen this before. He had ridden one during the advanced assessment.

The young woman wasn’t weak either!

She was in the Soaring Realm!

The perception jade transmitted a blue alert. Su Yu didn’t pay too much attention to it. It was normal. There were many people in the Soaring realm, and you could encounter them everywhere in the Great Xia Mansion.
Seemingly sensing Su Yu’s observation, the young woman turned her head to glance at him, smiled, nodded, and leading the child, said to the guarding soldiers, “Little Zhang, I’m going in to collect some baleful aura, I’ll be right out. Don’t charge me this time, your fees are too high!”

The soldiers seemed to know her too, and laughed, “Madam Zhang, this isn’t my decision, it’s the Marquis’s rules. If you park it, it’s at least 1 merit point! Otherwise, if the horse gets lost, we’re not responsible!”

“Black-hearted ghost!”

The young woman laughed and scolded, not saying anything more, and led the child towards the nearby Cemetery of Myriad Races.

Su Yu glanced in that direction, not paying much attention.

But thinking about it, he suddenly whispered, “Brother, she’s taking the child in… won’t anything happen?”

The soldier waited for the young woman and child to walk further away, then laughed, “That’s Madam Zhang, the young mistress of a wealthy family nearby. Her child was injured during cultivation, and needs to use baleful aura to suppress the backlash, it’s fine.”

Su Yu nodded, he just felt it wasn’t quite right to bring a child along. Hearing the explanation, he didn’t say anything more.

No longer inquiring, Su Yu walked towards that direction.

The Cemetery of Myriad Races was very large, with walls built around it, mainly to prevent people from accidentally entering. An opening was made in the wall, with a small team of Dragon Martial Guards stationed here.

The guards were all at the peak of Ten Thousand Stones Realm, and there should be Rising Sky Realm experts hidden in the shadows. Su Yu sensed the change in the Perception Jade, but didn’t pay much attention.

Su Yu showed the academy’s mission token. The Dragon Martial Guard checked it, and quickly said, “You can enter, pay 5 merit points. Also, don’t go deep inside. Those who died there were all powerful, don’t get any ideas. You students just love to dream, wishing a strong person would leave you an inheritance. Can the inheritance of the Myriad Race Sect even compare to the academy’s inheritance?”

The other party spoke frankly, this was something many people fantasized about.

As he spoke, he reminded, “The places where the strong die have heavy murderous aura and baleful aura. If it impacts your sea of ​​will, it’s normal for your nurturing souls to have their seas of will collapse. I think you should know the price, don’t mess around!”

“Thank you for the reminder, brother!”

Su Yu thanked him, and laughed, “I won’t seek death.”

“Good to understand, go in!”

Su Yu nodded, leading Wang Zhishan and Chen Ming inside. As soon as they entered, they smelled a stench, a rotting smell.

Suffocating!

Not far away, the young woman was collecting the blood-fiendish aura floating in the air.

The child was by her side, strands of blood-fiendish aura entering his body, seemingly suppressing his injuries. He wasn’t very old, could it be there was a problem with his Origin Opening?

Su Yu thought to himself, not interfering with other people’s business.

Not planning to stay here long, Su Yu walked inside. After a few steps, his brows furrowed slightly. ‘I’m just passing by, why are you always observing me?’

His Perception Jade changed color again.

It had changed color several times already!

It must be this young woman observing him. Once is enough, but several times in a row, did she think he had no temper?

Although under normal circumstances, he wouldn’t be able to detect it.

But didn’t he have the Perception Jade?

Su Yu frowned, not saying anything, a slight doubt in his heart. They were strangers, for her to always observe him, it wasn’t right!

The other party was someone the soldiers knew, obviously a wealthy family nearby, and after all, she was a Rising Sky Realm expert.

He hadn’t paid attention before, hadn’t thought much, but now… he couldn’t help but overthink.

Damn it!

Between strangers, a Rising Sky expert always secretly observing a student, was that normal?

Wang Zhishan and Chen Ming beside him didn’t sense any problems at all.

Su Yu frowned, not saying much, and continued to walk forward.

The Cemetery of Myriad Races was truly a large pit, but there were roads around it, allowing them to walk along the roads towards the depths, without having to go down into the pit, smelling that rotting odor, even though it was the same above.

Su Yu kept walking forward, and the Perception Jade finally stopped changing color.

The young woman was no longer observing him.

But Su Yu kept it in mind, this person had been observing him from hundreds of meters away, still staring from so far away, she might be a bad person!

As for him being good-looking and attracting her attention… that was also possible.

But Su Yu had no interest in her!

Her child was already so old, she might be fifty or sixty years old despite looking young, did she want to try an old cow eating young grass?

…

After Su Yu walked far away, the young woman transmitted her voice, “Any problems?”

Beside her, the child also transmitted his voice, “Didn’t find anything, but this guy… his Origin Qi is so dense!”

Some envy and jealousy!

That Origin Qi, even though Su Yu concealed a lot, gave him the feeling that Su Yu was a ferocious beast!

Was this a genius?

Opening so many acupoints!

The child’s eyes were a little jealous. He had only opened 72 acupoints back then, and advanced to the Rising Sky Realm. Compared to Su Yu, the difference was too great.

The young woman collected some more baleful aura, and transmitted her voice, “If there are no problems, let’s go back first, stay closer to me, don’t let anyone discover you.”

The child was with her, she exposed her Rising Sky Realm strength, concealing the child’s peculiarity. Even if others sensed a Rising Sky expert, they would generally only think it was her, and not think that the child was also at the Rising Sky Realm.

The child transmitted his voice, “Not making a move here?”

“Idiot!”

The young woman scolded!

This was the Cemetery of Myriad Races!

There were Dragon Martial Guards outside, killing people here was indeed considered safe, but once they went out, if they found these people dead, they would be hunted everywhere. After all, they left behind a lot of things, and the Zhang family… had some reputation here.

For the sake of killing Su Yu, it would all be ruined.

If they wanted to kill, they had to kill secretly, so that people couldn’t guess it was them. Besides, it wasn’t to kill Su Yu, it was better to capture Su Yu alive.

“We’ll talk about it when we get back, Mad Woman has already gone back!”

The young woman ignored him, knowing that his jealousy had flared up.

Jealousy of geniuses, resentment of geniuses, this was also a common problem for many people. A genius like Su Yu was envied by friends, worshiped by the weak, and naturally aroused jealousy and hatred from enemies. Why couldn’t I open hundreds of acupoints?

It’s not that I’m stupid, it’s that I don’t have Su Yu’s opportunity, that background…
This is what these people are thinking!

The young boy, scolded, was a little angry. Without saying much, he followed the young woman and walked out.

As he left, he glanced again at Su Yu’s back, which was disappearing into the blood mist. A hint of coldness appeared in his eyes. So what if he’s a genius? He’s still going to die!

No one to protect him!

The Many Divine Languages faction has truly declined. Otherwise, in the past, a genius like him would have had at least a Rising Cloud realm cultivator to protect him.

But now, there’s absolutely no sign of anyone.
