Chapter 592: Welcome Back, Su Yu
Chapter 592: Welcome Back, Su Yu
"Prime Minister, you really don't need to go back to Skrul?" Su Yu was overjoyed.
Prime Minister Cao, who had obtained the hilt of the Sword of Ten Thousand Admonitions, had reached the peak of the Divine Realm! His ability to stay on Earth was an absolute blessing!
"Of course," Prime Minister Cao raised his head and proclaimed loudly, "According to the agreement I signed with Plante, as long as Su Yu is still alive, I don't need to fulfill those additional promises!"
Prime Minister Cao knew the Skruls were definitely monitoring their every move. He spoke loudly so the Skruls could hear him.
And he was right.
Just a few seconds later, Zanev, the commander of the Skrul Expeditionary Force, heard Prime Minister Cao's words.
Her face turned increasingly grim.
But she still relayed every word Prime Minister Cao said to Commander Ranche and Emperor.
"Prime Minister, welcome back to Earth with your newfound freedom!" Su Yu greeted him joyfully.
But then, as if he remembered something, Su Yu sighed softly and sent a telepathic message, "Unfortunately, Elder Zhu hasn't returned. Prime Minister, have you heard any news about him during your stay on Skrul?"
Prime Minister Cao thought for a moment and shook his head, "Not a bit. I've been keeping an eye out for him on Skrul, but I haven't received any information about him."
"Is that so?" Su Yu fell into deep thought.
Though no news was often good news, Su Yu was still worried about Elder Zhu.
After all, "always walking by the river, but never getting your shoes wet" was a proverb that could easily be proven wrong. What if he accidentally revealed his identity one day? The consequences would be dire.
While Su Yu and Prime Minister Cao were conversing, high-ranking cultivators and some officers in power armor from the United Government rushed over.
Most of these high-ranking cultivators were elders who had long been stationed in the capital, about seven or eight of them. In addition, there were Zhong Feng, Old Meng, and Xiao Tian.
Now, Zhong Feng and Old Meng flanked Su Yu, pinching his shoulders in disbelief, "Su Yu, you really didn't die? We thought you were dead when we saw your body!"
Xiao Tian, on the other hand, threw herself into Su Yu's arms, looking up at him with a grin, her beautiful eyes seemingly saying, "What do you think? My secrecy work was pretty good, right?"
Su Yu comfortingly ruffled Xiao Tian's hair and then explained to the surrounding high-ranking cultivators and United Government officers, "Everyone, I really didn't die. The Skruls only killed one of my avatars."
He repeated the explanation he had given to Prime Minister Cao.
While Su Yu spoke, he didn't stay still in the sky, as the area below was Duna's residence, and the gathering crowd might disturb her sleep.
So, Su Yu took the initiative to move elsewhere. Under the escort of the high-ranking cultivators and officers, they all flew toward the United Government headquarters.
Upon returning to Earth, the first thing to do was to report to Speaker Hu Jingyi.
After hearing Su Yu's explanation, everyone was overjoyed.
The combination of the Skruls' top-tier strong and a specialized treasure couldn't kill Su Yu. Su Yu's rise to the Divine Realm was unstoppable!
With Su Yu and Prime Minister Cao, who had also reached the Divine Realm, they now had two Divine Realm experts! This reignited everyone's hope to defeat the Skruls!
Maybe the people of Earth really had a chance!
After a cheerful chat, Xiao Tian, who was flying beside Su Yu, asked, "Xing, what did you gain from your trip to Skrul?"
The others flying around him also cast curious glances his way.
“Well,” Su Yu thought for a moment.
His trip to Skrul had been incredibly fruitful, but not everything could be openly discussed, such as his trade with the Bak Kingdom or his interactions with the Dragon Clan.
The only thing he could talk about was the raid on the Lunctor National Museum.
So, he smiled and said, “On this trip to Skrul, I successfully infiltrated the Lunctor National Museum. Thanks to the Dawnstar, we managed to secure a lot of artifacts, and we even managed to capture the soul of a peak 6th-stage powerhouse.”
As he spoke, Su Yu took out a large number of artifacts from his necklace, displaying ancient Skrul sculptures and murals to everyone. He also pulled out a tiny bit of Scarlo’s soul to show them.
Scarlo’s soul was startled to see so many Blue Star inhabitants around him. However, he quickly grew impatient and said, “Don’t disturb me while I’m reading! I was just at a crucial part!”
With that, he dove back into the Ring of Rebirth.
A chorus of sharp intakes of breath echoed around Su Yu.
The artifacts didn’t elicit much emotion from the crowd, as no one was familiar with ancient Skrul culture. However, the presence of Scarlo’s soul was a different story.
This was the soul of a peak 6th-stage powerhouse! No one had expected it to be so easily captured by Su Yu.
After all, this peak 6th-stage powerhouse was powerful enough to take on everyone present except for Su Yu and Chancellor Cao!
The fact that Su Yu could capture such a powerful soul was a clear indication of his strength!
Not only did Chancellor Cao know this, but Su Yu was also aware that the Skrul were monitoring their every move.
So, he looked up at the sky and shouted loudly, “Listen up, people of Solara! I know you can hear me! These are your artifacts—428 in total—and the soul of the peak 6th-stage Scarlo. If you want them back, bring gold to trade! You have 7 days, and no extensions!”
Su Yu’s voice, amplified by magic, carried far and wide. After about 10 seconds, Janet received his message.
Her face darkened even further.
However, she didn’t hesitate and immediately forwarded Su Yu’s message to Lance and the Emperor.
Although she knew the Emperor and Lance might be furious after hearing this, she didn’t omit a single punctuation mark, hoping they wouldn’t smash anything in anger.
The other powerful beings flying with Su Yu also felt a sense of satisfaction.
This war had put Blue Star at a disadvantage, and the recent “Gravity Funnel” incident had cost millions of human lives.
Now, humanity had finally turned the tide!
Ten minutes later, Su Yu and his group arrived at the headquarters of the United Government.
Speaker Hu Jing, along with a group of high-ranking officials, stood on the plaza, eagerly awaiting Su Yu’s return.
As soon as Su Yu landed, Hu Jing excitedly walked over and placed his hands on Su Yu’s shoulders. “Comrade Su Yu, it’s so good to see you alive! To be honest, when I heard your voice, I thought I was dreaming.”
“Apologies, Speaker,” Su Yu bowed slightly. “For safety reasons, I didn’t inform you about my trip to Skrul, and I caused you worry.”
“Don’t apologize,” Hu Jing shook his head, not the least bit bothered. “Your safe return is the best news we could have! It’s a blessing for all of humanity!”
