Chapter 547: The Three Kingdoms Summit, Su Yu Arrives

Mingdou Mountains, Main Camp.

Unlike last time, the atmosphere this time was much heavier.

Xu Jiujiu stood in the center of the camp, her voice somewhat low. "Everyone, I have some very bad news to share."

"According to reliable sources, several provinces within the Sun Moon Empire have already been occupied by strange creatures."

"These bizarre creatures possess terrifying abilities. Anyone—human or animal—killed by them loses consciousness and turns into the same kind of monster that only knows how to kill."

"The Grand Worship was right; this is going to be a natural disaster."

Xu Jiujiu's beautiful face was grave as water. This news had utterly shocked her.

They even have the ability to transform living beings into puppets. How could that not make one's scalp tingle in fear?

"What?"

Hearing Xu Jiujiu's words, everyone in the tent changed expressions at once.

Even people as mentally strong as Du Busi and Yan Shaozhe felt a chill run down their spines.

What did this mean?

It meant the number of strange creatures would only keep growing, multiplying without limit. When the time came, it would be a catastrophe sweeping across the continent.

Everyone fell silent, but in their hearts, huge waves were surging.

They struggled to digest this news, feeling cold all over.

"We can't just sit and wait for death. I think we need to unite."

Yan Shaozhe slapped the table, speaking with determination.

Such strange things were even more terrifying than evil soul masters.

They absolutely couldn't sit by and do nothing.

"Dean Yan is right. The situation now is not optimistic. We must stand together. No one knows what these strange creatures really are."

"And who—or what—might be hiding behind them."

Weina spoke up.

Things were developing beyond imagination, and even Weina couldn't sit still.

"Princess Weina is right. But about these strange creatures, I happen to know a bit."

A clear voice rang out from outside the tent, startling Xu Jiujiu, Weina, and the others, who hurriedly stood up.

The curtain was lifted, revealing a figure in white. The young man had a handsome, jade-like face and bright, starry eyes. He stood tall and elegant, exuding a graceful presence.

Especially striking was the icy blue and golden spear-shaped mark between his brows, which added an air of sacred nobility.

Su Yu strode in at the front, followed by Shui Lingguang, Zhang Lexuan, Hai Bodong, Sang Muning, Ju Zi, and others.

"Young Master Su Yu!"

Xu Jiujiu's beautiful eyes lit up. The moment she saw Su Yu, her mood brightened.

"Young Master Su Yu, long time no see!"

Weina greeted him with a gentle smile.

At a time like this, Su Yu's arrival was perfect.

"Princess Weina, you're as elegant as ever."

Su Yu nodded, his gaze sweeping the tent.

Most of them were old acquaintances, except for a middle-aged man he didn't recognize—most likely someone from the Dou Ling Empire.

"Young Master Su Yu, we were just waiting for you."

Yan Shaozhe smiled broadly. With Su Yu here, he felt he had a backbone to rely on.

Without the people from the Ice God Palace to back them up, to be honest, he had felt very uneasy.

"Young Master Su Yu, this way please. Someone, fetch a seat!"

Su Yu didn't stand on ceremony, taking the chief seat to the left.

Shui Lingguang and the others declined Xu Jiujiu's kind offer, choosing instead to stand behind Su Yu.

Meanwhile, Zhang Lexuan naturally went over to the Shrek Academy delegation and sat with their representatives.

Su Yu's gaze sharpened slightly as he glanced over the crowd, pausing for a moment on Kong Deming before withdrawing his eyes.

At this time, Xu Jiujiu spoke: "Young Master Su Yu, you just said you know something about those strange creatures?"

"Do you know what exactly these things are?"

Xu Jiujiu was puzzled; none of them had any clue.

Su Yu smiled and said, "These creatures are eerie and sinister, with low intelligence, violent and bloodthirsty, and have an instinctive hunger for blood and souls."

"According to research by my Ice God Palace, these creatures are not native to the Douluo Continent, but come from another world."

"Another world?"

Everyone was shocked and horrified.

"That's right—a plane full of slaughter and corruption, an evil dimension."

"Does everyone remember the strange phenomenon that happened not long ago?"

"The heavens wept blood, and the world mourned. That was the Douluo Continent sending a warning—another plane has descended onto Douluo, seeking invasion."

"Normally, there's a barrier between worlds. They can't descend so easily."

"But there was Ye Yeshui. She sacrificed herself, offering up the entire Mingdu in a blood ritual, which drew in the evil dimension's descent."

"Now Douluo Continent is under invasion. The situation is dire and not to be underestimated."

"That damned Ye Yeshui!"

Yan Shaozhe gnashed his teeth in hatred.

He deeply despised such traitors who betrayed Douluo Continent.

"So that's it. The rift Ye Yeshui opened was actually the Gate of Hell. I should have realized it sooner," Kong Deming said, suddenly enlightened. "So the Ye Yeshui I saw must not have been the same as before, right?"

Su Yu replied, "Of course. The current Ye Yeshui is just an empty shell. The one occupying her body is from that other dimension."

"That person is now rampaging through the Sun Moon Empire, probably to create even more slaughter so that the evil plane can fully descend."

"We must thwart his scheme as soon as possible. Otherwise, once the other dimension fully descends, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"You all may not know, but my Ice God Palace has already fought with someone from that other world. The enemy truly possessed a god."

At these words, everyone gasped.

A god? There's actually a god?

Even Xu Jiujiu, Du Busi, and the others were stunned by this news.

"Young Master Su Yu, are you serious?"

Du Busi's old eyes widened in disbelief.

This news was simply too shocking.

"Of course it's true. Elder Hai even fought against him, but unfortunately couldn't take him down and let him escape."

Su Yu said calmly.

At that, many eyes turned to Hai Bodong, full of amazement.

Hai Bodong actually fought a god-level opponent—and even scared him off?

That sounded almost like a fairy tale.

Sensing everyone's doubt, Hai Bodong narrowed his old eyes, and a pressure that was impossible to describe spread out.

Everyone in the tent suddenly felt their bodies sink, as if a mountain pressed on their chests, making it nearly impossible to breathe.

Du Busi gasped heavily, his eyes filled with shock.

Just this slight pressure made him almost suffocate—was this really Hai Bodong's power?

At that moment, Du Busi completely believed Su Yu's words.

Maybe Hai Bodong really did have god-level strength. Otherwise, how could he be so terrifying?

He'd seen other Ultimate Douluos before, but compared to Hai Bodong, even Mu En's aura was worlds apart.

The pressure lasted only a moment before it was withdrawn, but in that short span, everyone in the tent was left shocked and trembling, with no one daring to doubt anymore.
