Trantor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
"I have brought you to the Empire of Darkness. From now on, it is up to you." Ling Xiaotian took out a scarlet great seal and carved the two words "Yin Yu" onto it. He then tossed it to Su Yu.
"The country of the Sub Pce is split into ten areas. Every area is under themand of a Deputy Pce Master. You will be an Area Master and take care of the people!"
"As an Area Master, every month, the people will pay tribute to you by giving you the Universe’s Miracle Mineral nts that they find within the area for you to train. Moreover, every month, I will give the ten Area Masters a Spirit Fate Elixir each!"
Rustle－
Ling Xiaotian tossed a jade bottle containing a light green elixir over to Su Yu.
"The Spirit Fate Elixir is an elixir that only the Empire of Darkness possesses. It is formed bybining various precious resources from across the continent and its effect is stronger than any other elixirs! Since this is your first time using it, the effects will be greater."
After catching the great seal and elixir in each hand, Su Yu was very eager to experience the effects of the elixir.
"From now on, you will officially assume your position. You will head toward the Nameless Area, which has yet to be given a name. You will take on the position of the Area Master, and from then on, you will enjoy hundreds of millions of tributes!" Ling Xiaotian instructed. After which, he said profoundly: "However, I hope that you do not forget my words."
"In a ce with people, there would be people wandering around and living by their wits. What I can do is to give you justice and not protect you all the time. You have to fight for the benefits that belong to you, I will not concern myself with it."
After finishing his speech, Ling Xiaotian left nimbly and headed toward the area in the middle of the country.
Su Yu and Zi Yunxiang looked at one another, confused.
Both of them flew toward the only area which had not been given a name in the country.
The area was one tenth the size of an empire, barren, and with its majority filled with mountains that were infertile.
Su Yu was a bit disappointed. In this kind of area, the amount of resources that the people could pay tribute to was very limited, and it was far from beingparable to the areas that the nine other Deputy Pce Masters took charge of.
However, Su Yu was ranked number ten and was thest Deputy Pce Master who entered the ranks. Hence, the best area would naturally not be left for him.
When he came to the core of the area, there was an extremely big city wall.
In particr, the number of strong martial artists found there wereparable to the number of clouds in the sky. As for auras of martial artists of Immortal Realm, Su Yu had felt many of them!
The city was filled with people, bustling with activity to the point that it could be considered lively.
A giant and upright stone tablet that reached the sky stood in the middle of the city, yet no name was written on the stone tablet.
Su Yu entered the city and headed straight to the pce, which was as brilliant as an imperial pce and was right in the middle of the city.
This was a pce specially made for the Deputy Pce Master and was just waiting to be filled by one with such a title.
However, this area was not under the charge of any Deputy Pce Masters. Hence, the pce had stood vacant ever since it was constructed.
Yet when Su Yu arrived in front of the mansion, the property had strict security!
Someone was staying inside!
Someone actually dared to upy the Deputy Pce Master’s Manor forcefully!
Su Yu walked up, and the expressions of two guards of Dragon Realm Level Seven turned cold at once: "Halt! If you enter the Pce Master’s Manor randomly, you will be punished by death!"
Rustle－
"Pce Master’s Manor? Which Pce Master is living inside?" Su Yu’s gaze became slightly cold.
The two guards sneered: "Who else could it be besides Pce Master Huang?"
Su Yu frowned: "What, this area already has a Pce Master?"
After hearing what was said, the two guards looked Su Yu up and down: "You came from the outside, right? Do you not know that this Nameless Area is temporarily being managed by Pce Master Feng Qing, who is just beside the area?"
"It is being managed by another Pce Master?" Su Yu was slightly stunned. He then understood the situation.
There had been no one in the Nameless Area for a very long time. Hence, it was forcefully upied by another nearby Pce Master.
"Pce Master Huang is the acting Pce Master, sent by Pce Master Feng Qing to take care of this area. If you have any matters to discuss,e back in three days. Pce Master Huang is currently in seclusion."
Su Yu quietly took out his scarlet great seal: "In seclusion? His seclusion is none of my business. Get him toe out!"
The two guards understood at once: "The great seal of the Area Master! Pce Master Yin Yu? Could it be that you are the new Pce Master?"
At that very moment, the news that Su Yu had be a Pce Master had not been spread yet, and no one was aware of it.
"Do you need me to repeat it one more time?" Su Yu said indifferently.
The expressions of the two guards changed at once. Their foreheads were filled with nervous sweat, and they immediately returned to the mansion.
However, after a short time, the two guards returned with pale expressions and said respectfully: "Reporting back to Pce Master Yin Yu... Pce Master Huang says that he is in seclusion and will not see anyone at the moment."
He was simply being unreasonable!
When the Pce Master returned, he who was the acting Pce Master not only did not receive the Pce Master immediately, he also avoided meeting with the Pce Master!
Su Yu frowned slightly: "Tell him to not let me go into the mansion personally to look for him!"
The two guards wore a bitter expression and could only ry the message to Pce Master Huang again.
At a deep part of the mansion, in front of a certain secret room, the two guards said again: "Pce Master Huang, Pce Master Yin Yu wants you toe out by hook or by crook!"
Within the secret room, Pce Master Huang said after a long time: "Did I not say before? I am training and I am not free."
The two guards looked at one another: "Pce Master Huang, Pce Master Yin Yu has asked us to ry a message... He told us to tell you to not let hime into the mansion personally to look for you."
A light hum could be heard from the secret room. After being silent for some time, the stone door opened. A middle-aged man with a white, thin and horse-like face with a gloomy expression came out: "Tell him toe in and bring him to the living room."
In no time, the two guards came out of the mansion and passed on the message to Su Yu.
Even Zi Yunxiang who was by the side could not stand the absurdness and she said furiously: "What a joke! Yin Yu is this area’s rightful Master. That acting Pce Master is acting so high and mighty. Even though he is the acting Pce Master, he made the real Master enter the mansion as a guest!"
The two guards were dripping with cold sweat: "Pce Master Yin Yu, we are merely people who are helping to pass on the messages, please don’t make things difficult for us."
In the future, Su Yu would be the Master of the area. As the guards, why would they dare to offend him?
"Alright. Lead the way. Let me see this Deputy Pce Master!" Su Yu said dully.
The two guards felt as if they had been relieved of a heavy load, and they led Su Yu to the mansion’s reception room.
However, Pce Master Huang was not present.
After waiting for a long time, a person appeared from a room behind, a man wearing refreshing smile: "Haha. Two honored guests, wee to the mansion. Excuse me for noting out to meet you. I was changing my clothes just now. If I have caused you any inconvenience, please forgive me. Bring out the tea!"
"Two honored guests, please take a seat!"
Pce Master Huang wore a smile and gave off the aura of a dignified Master. He sat at the honored seat and allowed Su Yu and Zi Yunxiang to sit at the guests’ seats with a smile.
He actually regarded himself as the real Master!
Su Yu did not sit down. He looked at Pce Master Huang apathetically: "You should have already known about my identity. I am Pce Master Yin Yu, the Tenth Deputy Pce Master of the north continent’s Sub Pce, and I have been ordered to take charge of the Nameless Area."
Upon hearing this, Pce Master Huang was absolutely still. He nodded his chin with a smile: "Haha. I am already aware of what you have just said. Pce Master Yin Yu, what honorable business brings you here?"
Su Yu said indifferently: "What honorable business do you think I have?"
What a joke. Having said all this, what other business would Su Yu have?
After bing slightly stupefied, Pce Master Huang cast aside his smile gradually and now smiled only thinly: "So Pce Master Yin Yu wants to take back the Nameless Area. If that is the case, then I’m sorry that I cannot agree to it."
Zi Yunxiang had a resentful expression: "Have you be addicted to being the acting Pce Master? Even though the real Pce Master hase, you still refuse to let go of your position?"
Against this kind of person, Zi Yunxiang felt that it was ridiculous.
Where would you find a person who upies another person’s home for himself?
"Haha, of course not!" Pce Master Huang’s whole face was filled with righteousness: "I am here to take charge of the Nameless Area. For many years, the Nameless Area has been in good shape under my supervision."
"Today, Pce Master Yin Yu suddenly wants to take back the authority to take charge of the Nameless Area. I am really worried that, at such a young age, Pce Master Yin Yu will be unable to manage such a big piece of area, and that it might cause some problems within the area. I am considering the interests of Pce Master Yin Yu by temporarily not returning the authority to him."
Su Yu wore a mocking smile: "Then, from your point of view, when is the right time for me to take over the management of the Nameless Area?"
Pce Master Huangughed loudly: "Why doesn’t Pce Master Yin Yu live in the Nameless Area for a few years? After familiarizing yourself with the area and earning the approval of the people, I will not have any more concerns and will hand over the authority to manage the people to you. How is that?"
Even though the Master had nowe, as the acting Pce Master, he requested for the real Master to wait for a few years!
This was not bullying. Instead, it was humiliation!
Su Yu’s eyes were filled with coldness: "What if I decline?"
Pce Master Huang’s smile became even thinner, to the point that the smile did not exist anymore: "I am afraid that Pce Master Yin Yu does not have the right to decline!"
"I am considering the interests of Pce Master Yin Yu. Why can’t you understand my kindness? The Nameless Area can be managed well, if it is under my charge. If it is given to you, and the Nameless Area is destroyed as a result, it would be a loss to you," Pce Master Huang said indifferently.
Su Yu gave a cold hum: "What a joke! For my territory, even if my management is not good, I would not require an outsider like you to make decisions for me!"
"I will give you three breaths’ time. Leave immediately! If not!"
Looking at the fact that the other party was the acting Pce Master, Su Yu treated him kindly.
However, who knew that this acting Pce Master would be so insatiable for power and control!
After hearing those threatening words, Pce Master Huang’s expression turned grave. After all, he was an acting Pce Master and dared not do anything to a real Pce Master.
After muttering to himself for some time, Pce Master Huang’s gaze shed. He then extended his hand and said: "Show me your Pce Master’s great seal? After confirming your identity, I will return you the authority immediately."
Su Yu conveniently tossed his great seal over.
The matter had finallye to an end.
To one’s surprise, after taking a nce at the great seal, Pce Master Huang squeezed the great seal into his robe!
After which, he extended his hand again and said indifferently: "Where is your Pce Master’s great seal? Why have you not taken it out yet?"
Zi Yunxiang was dumbfounded: "Even though you have hid the great seal into your robe, you still try to force us to offer another one!"
After hearing what was said, Pce Master Huang frowned: "Little Miss, a loose tongue spells trouble. Which eyes of yours have seen that I have hidden the great seal? Is there anyone who can prove it?"
An inconspicuous indifferent mocking expression filled his eyes as he spat the words.
Zi Yunxiang was enraged, her beautiful face filling with anger immediately: "You! Shameless! Even though you hid Yin Yu’s great seal, you still strenuously deny it! As someone from the Empire, how could you behave so unscrupulously?"
Su Yu’s eyes were finally overflowing with murderous intent!
He had tolerated enough of this nonsense!
It was a pity the other party did not appreciate his kindness. Instead, he went even further!
"Humph! Both of you are the real people who are audacious to the extreme! You actually dared to pretend to be the Pce Master!" Pce Master Huang’s aura turned cold. He banged the table, stood up, and looked at them furiously: "Who gave you the guts to pretend to be the Pce Master? Do both of you not know that you havemitted a heinous crime?"
"With regards to the fact that both of you are young and ignorant, leave immediately! If not, in ordance to the Empire’sw, I will execute both of you on the spot!"
The situation had changed drastically fast, and they had not foreseen it.
Su Yuughed. He reallyughed coldly: "Originally, I had wanted to show you some respect and so spoke to you kindly. Looking at it now, not only do I not need to respect you, there is also no need for me to leave behind your life!"
"Since you dared to take what is mine, you must have made preparations to exchange it with your life!"
