A Complete Victory, the Netherworld’s Schemes

Demon Gold paused when he heard the dragon’s roar, then laughed. "This really is worthy of being a top-tier Dharma treasure. It can even let out a dragon’s roar!"

Su Yu tightened his grip, forcefully shoved Demon Gold’s halberd upward, then quickly retreated. The halberd struck the ground.

Boom!

The force of that strike made the battlefield tremble slightly. The windblown sand on the ground stirred, ready to sweep across the entire battlefield, but Demon Silver immediately sent out another gust and blew all the sand away.

Demon Silver spun the spear in his hand and said, "Watch out!"

With that, Demon Silver spun, and his spear swept toward Su Yu. Su Yu hurriedly blocked it. The Dragongallbladder Bright Silver Spear suddenly shuddered, loosening Su Yu’s grip. Demon Silver seized the opportunity, pulled back his spear, and its tip immediately knocked the Dragongallbladder Bright Silver Spear down with it.

Demon Silver smiled. "Su Yu, you’ve never learned spear techniques, have you?"

The outcome had been decided. Su Yu could only sigh helplessly. "Yeah."

Demon Silver picked up the Dragongallbladder Bright Silver Spear and handed it to Su Yu. "A weapon can sometimes help you, but it can also become a burden. If you don’t know any spear techniques and rely only on brute strength, then a spear will absolutely be nothing but a burden to you. I suggest finding a spear manual to study after you return."

Su Yu had actually wanted to say that brute strength was enough for him. If he used Dominion Power or the Infinity Gauntlet’s power, one thrust would settle Demon Gold, Demon Silver, or even the Demon Venerable alike, wouldn’t it?

However, Su Yu would not say that. He gave a bitter smile. "Fine. I should find some spear technique to learn."

While the three were talking, the fighting around them had already ended. All one hundred thousand Beggar Clan brothers had been wiped out. Seeing Su Yu chatting so enthusiastically with Demon Gold and Demon Silver, Cang Nan and the others were all dumbfounded. Weren’t we here to fight? Why were these three big shots chatting instead?

The three immediately noticed that the fighting around them had stopped. Su Yu smiled. "Brothers, I’m truly sorry. We killed one hundred thousand of your Demon Clan soldiers. You won’t be in trouble when you return, will you?"

Demon Gold laughed. "Of course not. We’re Taiyi Heavenly Immortals, after all, and sworn brothers of the Demon Venerable. He won’t do anything to us. Besides, the two of us had intended for your subordinates to kill those Demon Clan soldiers from the start."

Su Yu froze, confused. "Why?"

Demon Silver smiled faintly. "How should I put it? Those people weren’t the Demon Venerable’s men. They belonged to his elder brother."

Drawing on his experience from reading so many novels, Su Yu understood at once. He smiled knowingly. "I get it. Your Demon Venerable wants to weaken his brother’s forces because he fears his brother will seize the Demon Venerable’s position, right?"

Demon Gold and Demon Lion smiled and nodded.

"Well, the fight is over, so we brothers will take our leave. Brother Su Yu, if you ever rebel against the Heavenly Court, make sure to come find us!" Demon Gold said, patting Su Yu on the shoulder.

Su Yu smiled and waved his hand. Two weapons as black as ink and two suits of armor appeared in the air.

One weapon was a halberd and the other was a spear. Both the weapons and armor were top-tier Dharma treasures. With a flick of Su Yu’s hand, they flew before Demon Gold and Demon Silver.

The two froze instantly. Su Yu said, "Big brothers, we hit it off right away today. Consider these a meeting gift."

Demon Gold and Demon Silver swallowed. Four top-tier Dharma treasures lay before them. It would be a lie to say they were not tempted, but the two restrained their desire. Demon Gold sighed. "Su Yu, we can’t accept these. How can you casually give such important treasures to others?"

Su Yu smiled and waved his hand. The armor automatically fitted itself onto them, while the weapons landed beside their feet. "What’s the big deal? They’re only a few top-tier Dharma treasures."

After saying that, Su Yu turned, waved, and left. Demon Gold and Demon Silver felt deeply conflicted. Su Yu had given them the treasures simply because he liked them, but they could never think so casually. In their hearts, top-tier Dharma treasures were as important as brothers. Of course, if they had to choose between brothers and top-tier Dharma treasures, they would unconditionally choose their brothers.

Su Yu came before Cang Nan and the others. Seeing that none of Cang Nan’s three thousand men had been harmed, he smiled in relief. "All right. Bring the bodies of those brothers. We’re going back."

"Yes!"

Everyone answered excitedly. They did not know how long it had been since they had fought so freely, much less won such a complete victory with three thousand against one hundred thousand. Every one of them was thrilled beyond measure.

Cang Nan and the others gathered the bodies, then followed Su Yu back into the great border city. After Demon Gold and Demon Silver watched Su Yu’s figure disappear from sight, they too turned and left.

Inside the great border city

Cang Nan and the others carried all their fallen brothers’ bodies to the training grounds. There were three thousand six hundred and fifty corpses in total.

The Thirty-Six Heavenly Transformations’ Resurrection of the Dead could raise the dead and regenerate flesh and bone, returning the deceased’s soul to the body for nirvanic rebirth. It displayed the mysteries of life and death and could revive the dead with supreme power.

Su Yu immediately cast the Resurrection of the Dead, intending to revive them. Yet after the spell was cast, their bodies all returned to normal, but Su Yu did not see their souls return.

Su Yu calculated with his fingers, and his expression instantly darkened. He said coldly, "You damned Netherworld! I just brought the bodies back, and you already seized their souls!"

Cang Nan heard Su Yu’s words and asked in confusion, "General, what happened? Why did the Netherworld seize our brothers’ souls so quickly?"

Su Yu sneered. "What else could it be? Someone had planned this long ago and had people from the Netherworld waiting here. The moment we brought the bodies back, they seized the souls."

"With my Resurrection of the Dead, even if the Netherworld seized their souls, I could still revive them. Yet they haven’t been revived now. There’s only one possibility! After their souls were seized, they were swiftly thrown into the Eighteenth Level of Hell!"

Cang Nan flew into a rage. "The Eighteenth Level of Hell? Isn’t that where Great Luo Golden Immortals guilty of the most heinous crimes in the Immortal Realm are imprisoned? Why were these brothers taken there?"

Su Yu shook his head. "I don’t know either, but it seems we’ll have to make a trip to the Netherworld!"

As he spoke, Su Yu fixed an icy gaze in the direction of the Heavenly Court in the Immortal Realm. Although he could use the Time Stone to restore these people, the Netherworld had opposed him for no reason. Su Yu intended to go meet this Netherworld.

Su Yu looked at Cang Nan. "Cang Nan, have the brothers prepare. We’re going to the Netherworld."

Cang Nan nodded solemnly. He knew that this time, they would likely fall out completely with the Heavenly Court, but he did not regret it in the slightest.
