Tribulation of Myriad Races

One should never underestimate Su Yu’s ability to court trouble. For now, only the devils were surrounding them. But perhaps not long after, the divines and the demonic beasts would surround them as well.

The more talented one was, the better one would be at causing trouble. This was an established fact in the Myriad Realms.

Back then, Xia Longwu had also caused quite a lot of trouble in the Allheaven Battlefield. It was impossible to hope that Su Yu wouldn’t cause trouble. If even Huang Teng could cause enough trouble for an original devil to appear, how could Su Yu be any less capable of causing trouble?

The others looked confused as they listened to Marquis Xia. What was he talking about? Previously, it was a thirty percent chance of survival but now, it had dropped to less than ten percent? Why? Who was the marquis so worried about?

He couldn’t understand, but he still said, “In that case, we’ll have to be troubling Principal Zheng with this.”

“It’s fine. Huang Teng is my student.” Zheng Ping said, “I would have made my way there even without this order. I’ve just entered the Sunmoon Realm. I didn’t get the chance to show off my strength. This is a good opportunity for me to meet some of those old geezers there. I wonder if there are any old geezers from the divine and devil races there.”

“They are definitely there.” Marquis Xia said, “They won’t give up on a chance to kill Huang Teng. Also, you need to be careful as well. If possible, try to save Cui Lang as well. If it’s really too dangerous, so be it. He won’t die so easily.”

Super freaks like that would not die so easily. Furthermore, the marquis was also sure that the kid had a lot of trump cards. He was already far beyond Huang Teng in terms of concealment.

Zheng Ping was confused about that request, but he nodded, “I understand.”

“Do we need to notify Great Ming?” The general of the Devil Subduing Army asked, “They might not be paying attention to the affairs of the Plain of Desires. That is a place their geniuses rarely visit. We’re much more well-informed about that place than them.”

“Let them know.” Marquis Xia said, “It’s better if you get the news to Zhu Tiandao. If you can’t, try to send words to Ye Hongyan who is stationed in the Allheaven Prefecture.”

Others might not know about Su Yu’s hidden identity, but Ye Hongyan was definitely aware. That was Niu Baidao’s wife. The marquis knew that Su Yu had stayed at her place for two days when he was in the Allheaven Prefecture. In that case, she was most likely aware of his disguise.

“I understand.”

The general nodded. That wouldn’t be too hard. She could be found on the other side of the portal. And by notifying her, they would be able to get the words to Zhu Tiandao as well.

***

Not long after.

Allheaven Prefecture.

Ye Residence.

Ye Hongyan had an odd look in her eyes. She gazed at the expert from the Devil Subduing Army for a while before replying, “Got it. Tell your marquis I know what to do.”

“Yes!”

The messenger left without saying anything else. After he left, Ye Hongyan’s expression became even more doubtful than before. Just how long had it been since Su Yu left? It had only been half a month. That brat was causing trouble so soon after arriving? He was trapped in the Skyrend Valley?

“What a troublemaker.”

Her head started to ache. After thinking about it, she decided to notify Zhu Tiandao. In her opinion, Su Yu was probably more important than even Huang Teng. Huang Teng had been causing the Xia Family endless headaches. Now, it was Great Ming’s turn to suffer from endless headaches thanks to Su Yu.

Zhu Tiandao’s head would probably start aching soon. She sent a message through a voice transmission talisman. Then, she took out another voice transmission talisman and sent another message. There was a possibility of disruption since the distance was too great. Thus, she sent two separate messages.

The second message was sent through the secret military channel toward the Great Ming ambassador in Great Zhou. Through the ambassador, the message was passed through numerous prefectures before reaching Great Ming. With this, there was no worry that Zhu Tiandao would not receive the message.

***

Not long after.

Great Ming, Tiandu, Zhu Residence.

After taking a look at his newly received message, Zhu Tiandao’s face twitched.

Screw that brat! Just how long had it been?

Damn it! Why did that brat provoke those super-geniuses so soon after leaving? He even got himself trapped in the Skyrend Valley. That damn place was near the central sector. After crossing the Skyrend Valley, one would reach the territory of the demonic beasts.

Mystic armor race…the portal to their realm was also near that place. That damn brat had actually killed their geniuses. Was he not afraid that they would rush out of their realm to take revenge on him?

“Damn it! Even if you want to kill, do it stealthily! Why did you kill right in front of so many people? Is that something someone from Great Ming would do?”

With the way that damn brat was behaving, it was only a matter of time before his identity was exposed. Zhu Tiandao felt very helpless. It was probably too late for him to send help from Great Ming.

Fortunately, his eldest grandson was there. He hurriedly sent a military order to Ye Hongyan, telling her to notify Zhu Hongwen and send some experts over to provide assistance. Zhu Hongwen was probably still unaware that a Great Ming genius had encountered trouble in the Plain of Desires.

“Plain of Desires…you better pray for good luck there. It is very likely that none of our reinforcements will be able to reach you. That place is too weird.”

Zhu Tiandao shook his head and sighed. He knew that place. He had even been there several times before. That place was way too weird. The young geniuses wouldn’t be affected, but those of the older generation would suffer all sorts of weird encounters. Some might lose their minds to their desires. Some might end up trapped in some illusions. Some might even be driven mad by their desires and end up dying.

“Cui Lang of Great Ming…”

Recalling something, Zhu Tiandao laughed in amusement and sent a message to Niu Baidao. That student of his better be prepared to stay in seclusion forever. He would probably go crazy after learning about what Su Yu had done with his identity.

Su Yu had climbed to the 18th place in the Profound Index for him. Wasn’t that exciting? He might even enter the Earth Index soon. Even across the Myriad Realms, only a small number of people could enter the Earth Index. Thanks to Su Yu, Cui Lang would be known across the various realms.

Zhu Tiandao was right.

Heart Paradise Island.

After thinking about it, Niu Baidao visited the real Cui Lang and told him the truth. Then, he started comforting Cui Lang, “Before Su Yu’s identity is exposed, you should keep staying here. Even if you leave…well, you’re now a super expert in the Profound Index. Your bounty in the Myriad Race Cult must have increased significantly as well. Your head is probably worth hundreds of thousands of merit points now. You might end up assassinated right after leaving.”

“…”

Cui Lang was completely dumbstruck.

After a long time, he roared, “Principal, I hate you!”

“…”

Niu Baidao was speechless. Why was this fellow hating him? It wasn’t like he had forced this fellow to lend his identity to Su Yu. This fellow was the one who had happily agreed to lend Su Yu his identity. What was the point of hating him?

Niu Baidao comforted him, “Don’t worry. Isn’t it just the earth-grade weaponsmith? Isn’t it just the 18th place on the Profound Index? With how good Su Yu is at stirring shit, he will definitely expose himself in less than half a year. At that time, none of this will be related to you anymore. On the bright side, you’re now known to both the human race and the myriad races.”

It was no big deal. The moment Su Yu’s identity was exposed, all his enemies would start looking for him instead of Cui Lang. What was there to fear?

Cui Lang clenched his teeth and said, “Principal, at that time, even if I go out as myself, everyone will wonder if I’m Su Yu in disguise.”

“…”

Right. At times, it was better to make the wrong kill than to miss the chance to get rid of one’s enemy. It didn’t matter if this was the real Cui Lang or not. Since there was a possibility that this could be Su Yu, they would just kill him. Better safe than sorry.

Niu Baidao continued comforting him, “It will be fine. It’s not like you leave Great Ming a lot. Just refrain from entering the Allheaven Battlefield and you’ll be fine.”

There was zero sincerity in his voice. Cui Lang was feeling very gloomy. How stupid was he to lend Su Yu his identity? That fellow was even better than him at stirring shit. That fellow should stop calling himself Su Yu. He should call himself Su Lang (unconstrained) instead.

But when he thought more about it, he also felt quite smug. At the very least, his name was now known to the myriad races. Sure, it was dangerous. But he was already a superstar now, right?

Most people would struggle for a lifetime only for beautiful companions, fame, and wealth. With fame in hand, he would be able to obtain the other two in no time. Cui Lang started hypnotizing himself. Everything would be fine. He only needed to remain in seclusion. There was nothing to fear.
