Yun Chen didn't spy on Su Yu's mind all the time; he only used it occasionally at appropriate times. Constantly spying on others' minds is a way of dealing with enemies.

Therefore, Yun Chen was unaware that Su Yu was touched again at this moment.

Yun Chen patted Su Yu on the shoulder: "Now let's talk about something serious."

Su Yu's expression turned serious: "Please speak."

Yun Chen smiled and shook his head: "Don't be so serious. Your grandfather asked me to ask you what kind of help you need right now."

Su Yu was taken aback and asked, "How is Grandpa now?"

"Of course, it couldn't be better."

"Then please ask him for me when he can send me the resources from the Nightshade Clan. I've been waiting for a long time."

Yun Chen: "..."

He said, somewhat speechless, "I remember you just scammed a lot of resources, right? And just now I saw you happily looting corpses and gathering spoils. What, isn't that enough for you?"

Su Yu's face fell. So, they saw his "silly" expression just now?

He asked tentatively, "Were you watching the whole thing?"

"Yes."

"Then why don't you say anything?"

Yun Chen suppressed a laugh and said, "I saw you were having a lot of fun touching those undead heads, so I didn't have the heart to interrupt you."

Su Yu abruptly asked, "Did you record it?"

"What...did you record?"

Yun Chen glanced at Su Yu, relieved that he hadn't fallen for the kid's trick.

“Heh,” Su Yu sneered, stretching out his hand: “Give it to me, and then you tell Grandpa that I don’t want those resources from the Nightshade Clan.”

The implication was that they wanted to exchange those resources for the video recordings in Yun Chen's possession.

Yun Chen nodded earnestly: "Don't worry, I will definitely pass on your message."

And then that was it...

Su Yu looked at him with a resentful expression: "Are you done talking? Where's the stuff? Where's the recording?"

Yun Chen looked completely innocent, his face full of question marks: "What? What video? Oh... I didn't record anything, your uncle isn't that kind of person."

Su Yu's face darkened: "Are you planning to renege on your debt? I won't give you the resources. Have Grandpa send them to me."

Yun Chen chuckled: "What debt did I renege on? Besides, once you've made a promise, you can't go back on it. You just said you didn't want it anymore, so you can't go back on your word now. Don't worry, the Great Xuan Mansion will remember your kindness. How about this, when you go back, I'll give you a selfless contribution award?"

Su Yu clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, saying, "You're going to steal my nephew's stuff too?"

Yun Chen looked bewildered: "How did I badmouth you? Didn't you say so yourself?"

Seeing that Su Yu was about to make another move, Yun Chen changed his tune and said, "Look at you, can't you even take a joke? Don't worry, my family is very wealthy and powerful, and I would never embezzle your 'little bit' of things."

Su Yu released his grip and said expressionlessly, "That's for the best, otherwise..."

Otherwise, I'll definitely settle scores with you later!

Everyone knows that I, Su Yu, am notoriously petty!

"Ahem, we were talking about serious business, but you've steered the conversation off-topic again."

Su Yu pondered for a moment and then said, "Lord of the City, do you think I can kill all these people in the city? Or, would you like to take action?"

Yun Chen shook his head: "Don't count on me. I can't take action. As for you, it's difficult to stop all of them. As long as they are willing to risk going out through the moat, some of them can still get out. In my opinion, it's better to extract some resources. They must have a lot of resources with them now."

That's right. These people came for the ancient corpse from the beginning. One of the gods alone brought out a treasure worth 2500 strands of heaven and earth light. Would the demons and immortals not be able to bring one?

Moreover, it's not just these two races; most of those still alive are large races, such as the Dragon Clan and the Five Elements Clan. If they gather together, they're sure to have plenty of resources.

Most importantly, they would definitely give it to others in order to survive.

Su Yu was unwilling: "But as long as I kill them all, those things will still be mine."

Yun Chen gave him an annoyed look: "The key question is, can you kill them all? If you could, you wouldn't be trapped in the ancient city now. That's enough. You're not dead yet, and in my opinion, this ancient city can't hold you."

"And look at yourself now. Your physical body is still in the Sky Soaring Realm, and your willpower is only at the Cloud Soaring Realm. If you want to improve your strength, how many resources will you have to consume? Now, you should try to extract as many resources as possible, so that you don't end up losing both people and money without even killing them."

Su Yu thought about it carefully and realized that Yun Chen's words made sense. The more he cultivated, the more terrifying the resources he consumed. He was only at the 45th level of Forging, and he had already used up half of the resources he had tricked this time. He was still quite a distance away from the 72nd level of Forging.

Moreover, there are still Lingyun, Shanhai, Riyue, and so on ahead. Just thinking about it gives him a headache. His ability to challenge opponents of higher levels is strong, but he has also completely become a gold-devouring beast, the kind that is bottomless.

After a while.

Su Yu relented, "Then I'll go talk to them and hopefully they'll be more sensible."

Yun Chen grinned mischievously, “You can kill a peak Mountain and Sea level undead first, then you can lure out a Sun and Moon level undead. This way you can seal off the Three Heavens City again, and they won’t dare to refuse.”

"good idea!"

Su Yu realized that this idea was perfect for him.

"Then I'll leave them hanging for three days. Once they get anxious, I'll talk to them."

Yun Chen smiled and nodded: "Okay, you can make the decision yourself."

soon.

Su Yu took out a high-level ancient city token and summoned a peak Mountain and Sea Realm undead to the entrance. Then, he punched the undead on the head, who was completely unprepared.

hum!

The next second, a deathly spirit with a low and heavy aura appeared, and the deathly aura that had subsided in the city became dense again, and the ancient city was closed for another three days.

"Damn it! Su Yu, you're driving us to our doom!"

"Su Yu, my clan has no grudge against your human clan. Please spare me. Otherwise, my clan may very well side with the powerful clan."

"Su Yu, if we die here, all your relatives and friends outside will have to be buried with us!"

In response to their threats, Su Yu sneered, "Uncle, they said they would kill my relatives and friends. What do you say?"

Yun Chen said irritably, "Now you're calling me 'Uncle' again? Weren't you calling me 'Lord of the Manor' just now? As for their threats, just treat them as a joke."

Su Yu was extremely thick-skinned. He pretended not to hear what Yun Chen had said earlier and said, "Uncle, you can't take this as a joke. They said they would kill you, and Grandpa too. How can you tolerate this?"

"Stop with your act. I said you can't make a move, and that means you can't. If I'm exposed, you'll find that the ones chasing you are just small fry. At that point, the ancient city might not be able to protect me, or rather, they might not be willing to protect me."

"Fine……"

Seeing this, Su Yu didn't say anything more.

Then, the old house fell silent.

Su Yu continued his cultivation. He had said he would leave everyone waiting for three days, so he certainly couldn't waste those three days; every second of his time was precious.

Yun Chen watched as Su Yu entered a meditative state, but didn't say much. He silently sipped his tea, seemingly lost in thought.

······

Three days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Su Yu woke up from his cultivation right on time, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, a sign of great progress in his cultivation.

Yun Chen sipped his tea, suppressing his surprise. He had witnessed Su Yu's progress firsthand over the past three days.

One forging per day, Su Yu has now completed 48 forgings, and he is not far from completing 72 forgings. With the resources he currently has, plus the resources from the Nightshade Clan, and the batch he plans to extort next, it can be said that Su Yu will not have to stop his cultivation due to resource issues for a while.

“Lord of the Manor,” Su Yu called out.

"Hmm," Yun Chen nodded gently, "48 casts, that's enough to rival the weight of the Sun and Moon, right?"

Su Yu pondered for a moment: "Adding a few other methods would work."

Having completed 48 forgings, his physical strength reached approximately 160,000 acupoints, while even the weakest Sun and Moon cultivators typically have 300,000 to 500,000 acupoints. However, he could unleash his essence blood, so he could still rival a low-level Sun and Moon cultivator.

Yun Chen nodded slightly, his eyes full of approval: "You are indeed a prodigy."

Su Yu chuckled but didn't reply. He was indeed more outstanding than the average person.

It was just a few, and he wasn't arrogant.

Su Yu thought to himself, "It's not too late to be proud when I can kill whoever I want."

Now that he's been "forced" to become a half-dead, what's there to be proud of?

Yun Chen refrained from probing Su Yu's thoughts and said, "Now that you're awake, go and deal with those people outside. They've been making a fuss every day for the past few days."

With that, Yun Chen waved his hand and deactivated the soundproofing array.

Then Su Yu heard shouts outside. Over the past three days, they had threatened him and begged for mercy, but Su Yu ignored them. They didn't know that Su Yu was constantly growing stronger by using the resources he had obtained through deception, so he didn't pay any attention to them.

These past few days, they've been trying to get a response, but haven't received one. If it weren't for the constant undead sealing off the city, they would have suspected that Su Yu was actually dead.

Zhan Wushuang, who had initially suspected Su Yu of suicide, was already filled with shame. In addition, he was in charge of the auction of the ancient corpse, and the white-haired god king was seriously injured while saving them. He had no idea what kind of punishment he would face when he returned to the god realm.

Modona remained as calm as ever. He shouted, "Su Yu, let's talk. Leaving us all here won't do you any good. The residents of the ancient city are not without hope, and I don't believe you will give up like this. We can offer you help."

Bai Yi, the person in charge of the Hunter's Pavilion in Xinghong Ancient City, also shouted: "Su Yu, don't be so desperate. Everything can be discussed. You can make your demands. There's no need to make things worse and end up with everyone losing. That's meaningless."

Inside the old house.

Su Yu smiled and said, "They're getting anxious."

Yun Chen said strangely, "How can they not be anxious? Do the math, how many days has it been since the city was locked down? Many of them are about to give up, after all, not everyone carries a lot of Heavenly Yuan Qi when they go out, and not everyone has that kind of opportunity."

“That’s true, then I’ll go and talk to them.”

Afterwards, Su Yu created a divine rune clone and then quietly left the old house with an item.
