Tribulation of Myriad Races

The capital of Great Xia had been placed under lockdown.

As for Su Yu, he returned to the academy with a shocked expression. Naturally, the students in the group had the same expression. Some also looked worried, some looked displeased, and some looked furious.

Great Xia King’s grandson had been killed in broad daylight. This was different from an assassination. This was a provocation. This was an insult. A successful assassination would only show that the enemy was treacherous. But this had happened near the Martial Dragon Guard’s office and prefect’s residence. A prince of the Xia Family was killed with only one punch.

This was an insult.

This was an act of stepping on the Xia Family’s face.

This was an act of wiping the floor with the Xia Family’s face.

A youth beside Su Yu said with fury, “Damn it! The Heavenly Hunt Pavilion deserves death! Great Xia will not let this slide! We will wipe them out!”

Su Yu replied solemnly, “You’re right! I might not be a citizen of Great Xia, but I’m still a human. I need to tell my cousin and Faculty Head Hong about this! They definitely have a way to locate Profound Nine! Someone like that needs to be dragged to the Myriad Race Pit and torn to pieces!”

Su Yu clenched his teeth, “The Heavenly Hunt Pavilion is too arrogant! My Bai Family still has some connections in Great Xia. If needed…forget it. If we try to do something, the Xia Family might think that we’re insulting them as well.”

“You’re very thoughtful, Brother Bai.” The person beside him sighed and said, “This is a huge insult. Prince Xia Xinyi was killed. This…is intolerable! Great Xia has compromised again and again. Because of that, people are starting to look down on us!”

“This is unacceptable!”

Righteous indignation filled their hearts. They did not know Xia Xinyi. But that was a prince from the Xia Family. Someone like that had been killed in broad daylight. They were furious.

This was too excessive!

Even if the Xia Family decided to compromise again, the populace would not let this slide. Since those people had the courage to kill Xia Xinyi right in front of his house today, they might also start killing the regular people in the city tomorrow.

Suddenly, Bai Feng rushed out of the academy. When he saw Su Yu with the group of students, he blanked out. Why was this guy here? Wasn’t this little bastard out there to kill Xia Xinyi?

Bai Feng had rushed out because he was worried about Su Yu. Why did the kid decide to kill Xia Xinyi out of nowhere?

When he saw that Su Yu was fine, his face darkened as he roared, “Why are you running around? Things are so dangerous out there! Who told you to leave the academy?”

“Teacher Bai!”

“Researcher Bai!”

As the students greeted Bai Feng, Su Yu spoke with a dissatisfied expression, “Why are you scolding me, Cousin? I’m on my way to look for you. You need to persuade Faculty Head Hong to make a move and kill Profound Nine! Tear him apart! That person is too hateful! He’s too arrogant!”

“You—”

Bai Feng cursed inwardly, thinking that he should indeed tear this kid apart!

“Shut up! Come with me to the research center. The city has been placed under lockdown. Don’t run around anymore!”

“I know.” Su Yu bid the students farewell, “I’ll be heading to the research center, friends. Be careful. That damn Heavenly Hunt Pavilion! If I knew they were such bastards, I wouldn’t have dealt with them previously! Maybe I can issue them a mission as bait and lure them out! Then, my cousin can kill them all!”

Bai Feng had a frosty expression. If he was going to kill anyone, he would first kill this little bastard! Had the kid forgotten his own identity? The Heavenly Hunt Pavilion had grown both famous and infamous at the same time. Wasn’t that the work of this damn kid? Was the kid not embarrassed of acting like a cat weeping for a dead mouse?

“Shut up. We need to go.”

Su Yu nodded. But he still complained indignantly, “Cousin, the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion is filled with bastards! I can’t stay calm!”

While heading to the research center, he complained nonstop, “How dare they kill someone in broad daylight? How dare they kill the descendant of an Invincible? This is intolerable! This is Great Xia! How dare they do this here? Just imagine if they try to do the same thing in Great Ming. This is intolerable!”

“…”

Meanwhile, Bai Feng had an unsightly expression. He was trying very hard to stay calm. Was the damn kid not done? Was scolding himself such a fun thing to do? Was the kid not tired of acting all the time? Why did the damn kid kill Xia Xinyi for no reason?

He was worried, and a solemn expression covered his face. Just what was going on? He believed there must be a misunderstanding somewhere. Su Yu wouldn’t kill Xia Xinyi for no reason. But according to what he heard, Xia Xinyi was indeed dead. Countless people saw that.

At this time, a group of people rushed over from afar. Among them was Xia Huyou. He was followed by a large number of guards. His face was ashen and his eyes had turned blood red.

When he saw Bai Feng, he nodded as a greeting as he continued rushing away. When he was further away, he finally ordered, “Place the entire academy in lockdown, including the Foreign Students Faculty and Multiple Character Faculty. Nobody is allowed to enter or exit.”

“Yes!”

The guards answered imposingly.

Then, Xia Huyou soared into the sky as he roared, “I am Xia Huyou. From now on, the entire Great Xia Cultural Research Academy is under lockdown. There are many myriad race experts in the academy, but I hope you will cooperate. A direct descendant of Xia Family has been killed. Anyone with the courage to stir trouble at this time will be killed without mercy.”

With bloodshot eyes, he roared at the guards, “Seal every path out of the academy. If you allow even a single person to escape, I’ll exterminate your entire family!”

The commotion had attracted a large number of people. Among them was the little fairy who Xia Huyou had been fawning on recently. When she saw the state Xia Huyou was in, she did not dare to approach him.

The Xia Family had clearly gone mad. Most of the time, Xia Huyou was quite friendly. But at the moment, he was overflowing with rage. In the air, the auras of several Sunmoons could be felt.

Xia Huyou roared again, “Everyone, return to your rooms. Nobody is allowed to leave. If you’re a citizen of Great Xia, you will definitely understand this. A search will be carried out shortly. It doesn’t matter how you feel about it. It will still happen.”

“The Xia Family founded this prefecture over three hundred years ago. We have never treated anyone unfairly. Today, my uncle was killed in broad daylight. The enemy is definitely still in the city. It is likely that there are traitors assisting the enemy. My uncle has always been secretive with his schedule. This shouldn’t have happened. Profound Nine has just been injured by Administrator Hu not long ago. He won’t be able to grasp the schedule of my uncle so soon. I believe there is a traitor. If you know something, report it to Great Xia. You will be rewarded handsomely.”

A lot of people nodded upon hearing those words. That was a logical conclusion to reach.

Next, Xia Huyou’s gaze landed on the experts hovering above the Foreign Students Faculty and Multiple Character Faculty. He said, “Return. Do not do anything you will regret. Today, anyone with the courage to challenge the Xia Family will be killed without mercy regardless of race. So what if you’re a divine? So what if you’re a devil? Have you forgotten how many divines and devils the Xia Family has killed in the past?”

Hearing the murderous warning, the various experts hurriedly landed on the ground with solemn expressions. It wouldn’t be wise to provoke the Xia Family at a time like this. They would be killed even if they were innocent.

“Impressive.”

Su Yu had the urge to raise his thumb at Xia Huyou. Amazing. If he didn’t know the truth, he would have believed that Xia Huyou was truly furious.

Holy shit.

This guy was actually a better actor than him! His acting would look slightly exaggerated at times, but look at how natural this guy was!

Just look at the throbbing veins on his forehead. Just look at his bloodshot eyes. And look at the slightly swollen eyes serving as an indicator that he had cried earlier. And look at his murderous expression. Was this a veteran actor?

While Xia Huyou was looking around with a murderous gaze, he met Bai Junsheng’s gaze. He didn’t know Bai Junsheng was also Su Yu and Profound Nine. But when he met Bai Junsheng’s gaze…he was slightly stunned.

Why was Bai Junsheng still in Great Xia? Why had he not left? He was aware that Bai Feng did not want to involve the Bai Family in the matters here. In that case, Bai Feng should have sent this cousin away as soon as possible. What was the point of keeping this cousin here?

Suddenly, a new thought emerged in Xia Huyou’s mind. He knew that Su Yu was Profound Nine. And Su Yu was definitely still in the city. Su Yu once traveled the world disguised as Cui Lang…

Holy shit!

Xia Huyou cursed inwardly. He remembered that he had also encountered Bai Junsheng once a few days ago. Was this bastard also Su Yu in disguise? His gaze did not linger on Bai Junsheng for long.

But inwardly, he started cursing endlessly. That was most likely the case. No wonder that fellow was able to attack with such speed and accuracy. So that fellow was basically staying right under their nose.

He ignored Su Yu and left with a large number of guards to enforce the lockdown. There were a lot of experts in the academy. Thus, the academy was also a good hiding place for any potential enemy. Thus, it wouldn’t make any sense to not place the academy under investigation.

***

At the same time.

Heart Cultivating Pavilion.

As usual, Wan Tiansheng was overlooking the entire academy from his office. He was deep in contemplation, thinking about a very important question. Was he really so incredible, or was Su Yu really so impressive?

He told Su Yu to make an attempt on Yuan Qingdong’s life and lure some experts over. The plan succeeded.

But…he did not tell the damn kid to add more to the script. What the fuck was the kid thinking? Why did the damn kid go and blast Xia Xinyi apart?

Incredible.

Was this Fatty Xia’s plan, or was this Little Fatty Xia’s plan? Thanks to this incident, most of their experts in the Allheaven Battlefield could be pulled back without arousing suspicion. And this only required Xia Xinyi to suffer a little. He probably still believed that he had survived an assassination attempt.

How pitiful.

How miserable.

There was also that Hu Dehao. That guy must be losing his mind right now. He was probably feeling nervous, helpless, sorrowful, and furious right now.

Wan Tiansheng shook his head. What a bunch of excellent actors. The youngsters seemed even better at this than the old-timers.

He did not believe that Xia Huyou was completely unaware of the plan. If that little fatty was really unaware of the plan, the little fatty would have asked for help from him, Marquis Xia, Xia Longwu, and Great Xia King.

Instead, the little fatty was busy putting the academy in lockdown. Clearly, the little fatty was still completely calm inwardly.

“Great. With this, we finally have everyone’s attention.”

Wan Tiansheng felt somewhat gloomy. If he had thought of this, he would have blasted Fatty Xia apart long ago. That would have been a much easier way to attract attention. Then again, he also needed to do it at the right time. Fatty Xia would not catch everyone’s attention just by dying.

This only worked because Great Xia was already the center of attention. Furthermore, the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion had gotten involved, catching even more attention. Su Yu had picked the perfect timing for this.

“It’s time for Fatty Xia to return.”

Wan Tiansheng glanced at the horizon. A short while later, numerous powerful auras appeared and flooded the capital. With a frosty expression, Marquis Xia stepped out from the void.

“Nobody is allowed to leave. The lockdown will remain until the murderer is executed. Don’t force me. All of you are testing my patience! Don’t force me to start a massacre!”

“Marquis!”

As someone called out at the marquis, he stopped talking. But everyone could see just how furious he was. The Xia Family might really draw their blade for real this time.
