High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late

Chapter 683: Chapter 453: The Seventh Prince of Tianyun, Reunion with the Duobao Maiden (Part 2)

All these are just Su Mu’s speculations. Initially, he planned to directly probe Xiaomo’s memory, but he discovered that there was a significant willpower remaining in the child’s Sea of Consciousness, which most likely belonged to an Alien Race Demon God.

If he truly intended to use Desolate Thought to explore it, he wouldn’t be able to avoid this willpower, which means he would alert it, making the effort not worth the cost.

In the Human World, human Martial Saints regard themselves as Gods of the Human World.

Such beings, whether human Martial Saints or Alien Race Demon Gods, are immensely proud and cannot be lightly offended.

At present, with his flesh yet to be recovered, Su Mu does not wish to attract the attention of the Alien Race Demon God too early.

That night, Su Mu stayed beside Xiaoluo until her snores became steady before he quietly left the room.

The next day, a carriage left the city.

"It’s right here; it was here that my dad found Uncle Lin."

By the Red Earth, amidst the sand and wind, there were occasionally fragments of white bones. This place was a chaotic burial ground, and Su Mu’s eyes shone with Silver Radiance, his Spiritual Power instantly spreading for hundreds of miles.

At the same time, he attempted to enter the Martial God State.

Buzz---------

This time, Su Mu’s perception of the flesh was even clearer. His eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a hint of surprise.

To induce such a feeling, the flesh seemed considerably stronger than last time. Perhaps it had completed a self-repair process. Su Mu slowly turned to confirm the direction; the flesh lay to the west, though extremely distant.

"This is the boundary between Ray Kingdom and Roy Kingdom, and to the west lies Roy Kingdom?"

"Yuri, that fellow, is from the Roy Clan..."

The next second, his mouth opened and spat a large mouthful of black blood. Seeing this, Xiaoluo was extremely flustered, "Uncle Lin, are, are you okay?"

"Don’t worry, I’m fine. Xiaoluo, let’s head back first."

On the morning of the third day, a carriage came from the north and entered Bandar City Lord’s Mansion.

Red hair like a waterfall, an exquisitely beautiful face came into view, Yuri indeed arrived. That day, when Andy spoke of someone wielding palm as a blade, turning into an ice river and obliterating those from the Celestial Cross Province in an instant.

Yuri was quite aware that person could only be Lin Peng.

Right then, Su Mu immediately recognized the person in front of him. However, Yuri was taken aback, as the person before her had not used any face-changing technique, yet he was not someone she recognized as Lin Peng.

Instantly, her figure flickered and vanished on the spot. Su Mu’s deep eyes slightly flashed, and he grasped into the void.

Dazzling Silver Chains shot forth, forming a large hand that blocked a certain area in the hall, almost simultaneously as a figure emerged from the void.

Then, the chain transformed into a Desolate Cage, imprisoning that figure.

"You indeed are Lin Peng."

Su Mu calmly glanced at Yuri by his side, dispersing the Desolate Cage with a thought.

"However, you’re quite weak right now..." Yuri chuckled softly.

"Why? Do you want to give it a try?"

Truth be told, Yuri was indeed tempted to try, however, Lin Peng’s tone was calm, just like the guy in her memories, not appearing to be putting on airs.

Yuri looked at Lin Peng for a few moments, shaking her head, and with her hands behind her back, she lightly circled around him, examining, "Something interesting seems to have happened to you?"

"Interesting indeed, this is not your flesh..."

"Indeed, as you can see, this is not my flesh. Killing a Martial Saint of this era is no easy task, yet I still live, and that Martial Saint, however, is utterly dead..."

"Speaking of which, I, Lin Peng, owe my current venture into the Otherworld, and today’s encounter largely thanks to you."

As Su Mu spoke the latter half, his tone bore a trace of killing intent.

Yuri’s expression shifted, recalling the last transaction with Lin Peng, when he spoke of going to kill a Martial Saint, something she hadn’t believed then.

The idea was too wild, too much of a tall tale.

Therefore, Yuri back then conducted the transaction with the thought of indebting Lin Peng to her. As for the batch of Blood Soldiers, which were quite troublesome, Yuri simply handed them over to Lin Peng to handle.

At this moment, revisiting past events, Yuri was struck as if by lightning. Her heart surged with crashing waves as she suddenly realized that perhaps Lin Peng’s words were not false at all?!

If so...

Could the Lin Peng before her really have slain a human Martial Saint as powerful as a Demon God?

Snapping out of it, sensing Su Mu’s killing intent in his tone, Yuri began to explain, "Some time ago, about thirteen days ago, I was attacked by a group, and although I managed to avoid calamity, that token was lost during the assault."

"Moreover, the Saint Race battlefield is sealed now, and I have no way of knowing when you’ll re-enter the Ancient Battlefield."

"In short, it’s a coincidence. I’ve been recovering these days, and if not for Andy finding me because of you, I wouldn’t have known you’d come to my Saint Race domain. This wasn’t done by me."

Encountering Yuri again, Su Mu increasingly felt that this Alien Race Duobao Maiden was not simple, as even using part of Desolate Thought couldn’t directly probe into her mind.

This had only happened with a Martial Saint before, yet if Su Mu enters the Martial God State, he could still discern the mind of an Overlord Blade Martial Saint, though he couldn’t easily resort to it now.

But Su Mu also believed that Yuri wasn’t deceiving him, at least there was no necessity to lie about crossing into the Otherworld.

"So, Lin Peng, you really did slay a Martial Saint?"

"You don’t have to believe it."

Su Mu spoke calmly, Yuri’s expression completely transformed. She knew that this fellow in front of her had no need to lie, and she also believed Lin Peng wasn’t lying.

Choosing to let his Divine Soul inhabit such a fragile flesh suggests the injuries from that battle were severe, with his Divine Soul likely in a heavily injured state now.

Yet, even in such condition, this fellow could still easily suppress her, demonstrating his immense strength.

Truly, an undeniable monster.

After a long while, Yuri gently bit her lip. "Since you had Andy convey a message for me to meet you, you must need something from me, at least you need my help with something right now."

Yuri spoke directly, and Su Mu inwardly admired this smart Alien Race woman. He didn’t have much time to waste, so he immediately nodded.

"Indeed, I need your assistance."

"Shall we make another deal then? What do you want me to help you with?" Yuri regained her composure, with a faint smile on her face, giving off an air of confidence and ease.

In her perspective, all Lin Peng sought was to return to the Human World, and upon reclaiming the Seventh Prince Tianyun, she intended to have Lin Peng undertake a task for her, as she had identified those who attacked her.

She was not one with a forgiving heart and always avenged wrongs!

Besides revenge, Yuri indeed considered it somewhat regrettable, as the present Lin Peng was too frail. Though his Divine Soul remained, his flesh was destroyed.

Even if Lin Peng returned to the Human World to reshape a body, his strength would undoubtedly be greatly reduced.

Hoping for Lin Peng to take action against those above the titled, or even against the Demon God, would be mere foolish dreaming.

Yet, what Lin Peng said next made her expression change once more.

"I need you to help me recover my flesh."

"What? Recover your flesh?!"

Yuri’s calm demeanor dissolved as she quickly grasped the meaning, looking incredulous, "What did you say?"

"I intend to recover my flesh."

"You mean to say your flesh still exists in this world? The flesh completely separated from the Divine Soul yet not perished... how could that be possible?" Yuri’s chest heaved, her heart was restless, as this was something even a Demon God might not achieve.

Moreover, it seemed she underestimated the monstrosity of the fellow before her.

"Nothing is impossible in this world, as I stand before you now, and I can sense my flesh in this direction. You are from the Roy Clan, this should not be difficult for you."

Being identified as a member of the Roy Clan by Su Mu, Yuri showed little surprise, her reaction marking a tacit acknowledgment in Su Mu’s eyes.

"If you can reclaim your flesh, to what extent would your strength be restored?" Yuri inquired.

"Perhaps it would be significantly diminished, but perhaps I may become stronger than before," Su Mu replied with a smile.

For a while, Yuri fell into thought, pondering the truth in Lin Peng’s words, "I will help you with this, but in return, you need to do something for me."

"What thing?"

"I haven’t decided yet." Yuri immediately dismissed the idea of Lin Peng avenging her, as if Lin Peng truly could regain his strength, using him just for revenge would be using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

This would be a mighty weapon, known to none apart from her. If utilized properly, it might bring her goals significantly closer!

Hearing this, Su Mu quickly discerned Yuri’s intentions.

"Very well, this time counts as the second promise I, Lin Peng, owe you."

Yuri’s beautiful eyes sparkled, and upon hearing Lin Peng say this, she felt assured; indeed, she had not misjudged him.

"Lin Peng, when do you plan to set off?"
