<h4>Chapter 963: Great Chaos (1)</h4>


    Two Sunmoons were seated on the two sides of the main gate.


    There were nine city gates, and they were not too far from each other. Apart from the two Sunmoons, there were also some Mountainseas assisting them. In fact, with the absence of the city guards, these experts were practically taking over the role of guards.


    Numerous gravely injured young geniuses and experts were moving toward the gates. They were no longer in any mood to fight. At this point, their sole priority was removing the death qi in their bodies.


    The city had been sealed for three days. And they had entered the city even earlier. Some of them had been in the city for about five to six days. Thus, these individuals were in a terrible state. The increased death qi density during the past few days didn''t help either.


    Due to the thick death qi around these individuals, there were even some death spirits following them as they moved toward the gates. Death qi basically served as the tracker for these death spirits.


    When Su Yu first arrived, Tian Men had warned him not to get in contact with any death qi as that would only attract the attention of the death spirits. The reason for that was now clear. But since these death spirits were merely the weaker ones, they had been ignored. It wasn''t like they could be killed. Killing one of them would only spawn two of them. There was no point.


    However, a lot of them thought the same as Qin Fang. They would kill these bothersome death spirits right before leaving the city. As for the additional death spirits that would appear after, well, it had nothing to do with them. It wasn''t like these weak death spirits could do anything to the Sunmoons.


    And thus, Su Yu reached the city while pretending to be a death spirit following Qin Fang.


    Main city gate.


    A demonic beast who had been dyedpletely ck by the death qi was begging earnestly, "Lords, please allow me to leave first. I''m at my limit. I''m really not Su Yu..."


    The two Sunmoons were preventing them from leaving. And as long as they were still in the city, they would need to continue suffering the erosion of death qi. It was too painful.


    Both Sunmoons came from major races. One of them was an immortal while the other was a divine. They wouldn''t be able to control the crowd if they weren''t from the major races.


    The divine Sunmoon coldly said, "Stay here. Stop being noisy. You won''t die so easily."


    If anyone ended up dying, so be it. They could forget about leaving so easily.


    The immortal Sunmoon didn''t even pay the demonic beast any attention. He was busy working on arge mirror and filling it with energy. After a while, he said, "To leave the city, you must go through the Disguise Breaker Mirror."


    Someone asked worriedly, "Lord, will this pry on our sea of willpower?"


    The immortal Sunmoon replied, "No. It will only do a rough count of your characters and their levels by measuring the feedback of your sea of willpower. Nothing else will be exposed."


    That much was enough. As a member of the multiple character faction, Su Yu would have no less than ten characters. He could change his appearance, but his characters would remain.


    So what if he could fool even Sunmoons with his disguise? He wouldn''t be able to hide his characters. Some of the experts in the crowd had unsightly expressions, but they remained silent. It was clear this was their sole option if they wanted to leave.


    "Lord, I''m willing to go through the mirror. Can I leave after that?"


    The immortal Sunmoon said, "Wait at the side when you''re done. All of you will leave at the same time. Don''t rush. We are doing this to capture Su Yu, the source of cmity and chaos. He is the reason for your current state. I believe all of you want to see the criminal punished. In that case, you don''t want to make things easier for Su Yu, right?"


    "Yes."


    Some of the people in the crowd found those words agreeable. At this point, they should just suffer a little bit more if that could help prevent Su Yu''s escape.


    Also standing among the crowd, Qin Fang said, "Is the immortal race openly killing a human genius? Lord Immortal, has the immortal race allied itself with the divine and devil races?"


    The immortal Sunmoon replied indifferently, "No. But Su Yu did not abide by the agreement of our alliance and killed Jiu Xuan, a descendant of Immortal King Xuan He. Su Yu started this. We are only doing this to preserve the human-immortal alliance."


    Qin Fang coldly said, "He did that because Jiu Xuan and Dao Cheng tried to kill him first."


    "Is there any proof for that?" The immortal Sunmoon said, "ording to what I know, Dao Cheng had only invited Su Yu to visit the Immortal Realm as a guest. He had never imed that he wanted to kill Su Yu. We can prove all that."


    Qin Fang did not bother to say anything else. It was pointless. He looked outside and saw nothing. Even the Sunmoons outside were only standing there ring at each other. He sighed inwardly, realizing that the human race had indeed not sent any reinforcements over.


    Otherwise, these fellows wouldn''t have been able to take control of the gates so easily.


    ***


    As for Su Yu, he started roaming randomly near the gates.


    Two Sunmoons.


    ording to the intensity of the dots of light representing them on his Perception Jade, one of them was a second-stage Sunmoon while the other was probably a fourth-stage Sunmoon. They were absolutely not weak.


    As Sunmoons from the immortal and divine races, they were even stronger than the Sunmoons of the other races. The two were sticking together, so if he wanted to kill one of them, he had to kill the other as well. He also had to prevent them from running through the gate and leaving the city.


    Killing them would produce at least two Sunmoon death spirits. If the two Sunmoon death spirits were killed, at least four Sunmoon death spirits would appear. Some of them might even be middle orte-stage Sunmoons.


    The gates would be shut by then. And if he could kill even the four Sunmoon death spirits, eightte-stage Sunmoon death spirits would appear. In short, the number of death spirits would keep doubling.


    "Are the fifth principal''s characters strong enough for this?"


    Su Yu wasn''t too confident. Back when Liu Wenyan used them, he was only able to kill one Sunmoon. Or to be precise, he was only able to kill one character clone. Was that character clone strong?


    Su Yu wasn''t sure. Probably, right?


    After all, he saw how Administrator Hu and General Zhao had to join hands just to defeat one of them. Even Marquis Xia could only defeat one of them as well. Xia Longwu was the truly impressive one. He was able to easily kill several of them. It was too hard to make his estimation with those people as references.


    But the Sunmoon character clone Liu Wenyan killed felt like a fifth or sixth-stage Sunmoon to Su Yu''s senses. He was quite confident in his assessment. Administrator Hu and General Zhao wouldn''t have been forced to join hands against only one of the character clones otherwise.


    Then again, Liu Wenyan had a stronger sea of willpower and more Sunmoon characters. It was unlikely that Su Yu could reach the same level of strength.


    While thinking, Su Yu activated both his calm and tribtion characters, slowly controlling his targets'' sense of crisis. It was normal for one to feel a slight sense of crisis at all times in an ancient city.


    That wouldn''t alert the two Sunmoons. But if the sense of crisis grew intense, they would notice something.


    "There are more Sunmoons outside the city. I wonder if they can be forced inside the city. They need to enter before the gates are shut...or we can surround and kill them outside after the gates are shut."


    A decent number of human Sunmoons were waiting outside. There were at least eight of them, excluding the Great Qin Sunmoons who might or might not be around as well. That should be enough to kill Mo He and the others, right?


    Well, Su Yu wasn''t too bothered about that.


    The three Sunmoon characters inside his sea of willpower started stirring. One of them would be crushed. That would release a massive burst of power inside his sea of willpower. Coupled with the activation of two other Sunmoon characters, the intensity might surpass his limit. His sea of willpower might even suffer some damage because of that.


    Su Yu could only pray that his sea of willpower was sturdy enough. Then again, his confidence wasn''t baseless. The golden book gave him the confidence that he would survive it.


    "It doesn''t matter. If my sea of willpower ends up damaged, I''ll just crush more Sunmoon characters to repair it."


    He did not intend to return any of the three characters to Liu Wenyan. In fact, Liu Wenyan did not intend to take any of them back either. He would be willing to even pass them all over to Su Yu.


    Calm.


    Su Yu forced himself to stay calm. It was still not the time to make a move against the two Sunmoons. He had to time himself well. And it would be even better if he could take action when the two moved nearer to each other.


    "I''ll first use the suppress character against the fourth-stage Sunmoon before using the massacre character to kill the second-stage Sunmoon. Then, I can turn around and deal with the fourth-stage Sunmoon..."


    The immortal was the fourth-stage Sunmoon while the divine was the other Sunmoon. Su Yu continued going over his n. He also avoided looking at the two Sunmoons. His calm character might be active, but they were still Sunmoons. Even a gaze might attract their attention.


    He could only ce all his hope on Ye Batian''s strength. The fifth principal had such arge reputation. He might be dead, but his characters should be pretty reliable, right? Su Yu kept praying that the fifth principal''s characters were sufficiently powerful.


    Time continued passing.


    Eventually, the immortal spoke again, "Those wishing to leave, line up for inspection."


    The divine spoke as well, "Maintain order. All of you are the pride of your respective race. I don''t think you want to see anything bad happening, right?"


    In fact, they were only being so polite because these were the elites of the various races. Otherwise, they would have taken the easy way out and killed all these people instead. The two Sunmoons started observing the geniuses and the massive mirror.


    Regardless of their feelings, the various geniuses started moving toward the mirror. At this time, some of the death spirits started moving in the same direction as well.


    "Why are you here as well? Damn these death spirits!"


    One of them grumbled in frustration. He vowed to kill these death spirits before leaving the city. This was too annoying. Why was the death spirit approaching them? The death qi around these death spirits were too ufortable.


    Su Yu looked around and noted that some of the geniuses were still not there. He wondered if they were staying in the inner rings. Only a few of the faces he recognized could be seen among the crowd. Tianduo of the devils was there, but Mo Duona was nowhere to be seen.


    An Mintian of the divines was also there, but the other divine geniuses were missing.


    Dao Cheng of the immortals was missing as well. He was probably still attempting his breakthrough inside an ancient building. Or perhaps he was busy digesting a fortuitous encounter he found in the city?


    Both Long Zhan and Long Wuyou of the dragons were also missing. Whatever.


    Slowly, Su Yu moved near the divine Sunmoon. Inside his sea of willpower, the three Sunmoon characters spun rapidly.


    Bit by bit, the rain character crumbled apart.
