Tribulation of Myriad Races

After a long time, the elder finally returned to normal. He slowly spoke, “Contact Profound Nine. Also, tell First Profound to report to the branch. Additionally, capture Yellow Nine. I will personally unmask him.”

Toward the end, the enforcer elder was gnashing his teeth. He knew Profound Nine wouldn’t be Su Yu! But that damn Yellow Nine had misled them all!

Damn it!

Damn it!

Because of that bastard, he received a scolding from the Invincibles.

Bastard!

That damn Yellow Nine was a bastard! Prior to this, none of them suspected Su Yu. That damn Yellow Nine was the one who had misled them all! That damn Yellow Nine deserved death!

Furthermore, they had also lost an elder from this. Nobody dared to say anything. One of them hurriedly did as told and sent Su Yu a message.

A short while later, a reply came.

***

Heart Cultivating Pavilion.

Su Yu was still working very hard to resolve the death qi in his body. Since he was so far away from the ancient city, the burden on him was incredibly heavy.

But it was still bearable. After a while, he finally got it under control. At that moment, his mask shook slightly. A message had arrived.

At a glance, he guessed that the stone statue must have done something. In that case, the pavilion no longer suspected him, right? Then, he noted that someone was looking for him in the shared channel.

“Profound Nine, are you there?”

“I’m still alive. How can I die without waiting for my identity to be verified? Hehehe. Yellow Nine, just wait. Everyone will know you’re a traitor.”

Su Yu could easily guess that something had happened. But Profound Nine shouldn’t know about it yet. Then again, he was indeed still unaware of what exactly had happened.

***

Heavenly Hunt Pavilion.

White One replied, “Elder, Profound Nine is still around.”

The enforcer elder blanked out.

But he also exhaled in relief. It would seem like they had indeed guessed wrongly. Sigh. It was all Yellow Nine’s fault.

“Tell Profound Nine that his identity has been verified. Assure him that he shouldn’t worry. He has contributed greatly in spreading our fame and avenged two of our enforcers. He deserves a reward. Since he’s a Sunmoon, he will receive ten drops of sunmoon profound yellow liquid. Also, tell him that we will rebuild our forces in Great Xia soon. He will still be in charge there. The pavilion will never mistreat a member who has contributed to us.”

Now, they had to placate Profound Nine.

The enforcer elder sighed. This mistake had caused them dearly.

Profound Nine might be good at causing trouble, but he had also helped the pavilion catch the traitor. Since they had disappointed him by suspecting him, they naturally needed to compensate him.

He shouldn’t be blamed for what he did.

After all, chaos was indeed important for the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion. If Profound Nine was punished for causing trouble, who would dare to cause trouble for the pavilion’s sake in the future?

Wouldn’t that be the same as hurting themselves? In fact, a troublemaker like that should be rewarded. It didn’t matter if the trouble was big. Great Xia…was still not an entity they couldn’t afford to provoke.

As for Su Yu…whatever. The pavilion only needed to distance itself from Grandstar City in the future.

The elder felt very helpless.

The pavilion did not fear any other forces even if those were forces with Invincibles. It didn’t matter how strong those Invincibles were. At worst, they could simply avoid the stronger Invincibles. but Su Yu was different. The stone statues backing him were actually capable of tracking their headquarters.

The chamber masters and department heads had tentatively guessed the reason for that. The stone statues had most likely traced them through the ancient Heavenly Hunt Index. After this incident, the Invincibles would probably move the Heavenly Hunt Index out of the headquarters and store it somewhere else. That was their sole option.

It was way too risky to keep what was essentially a tracker in their headquarters. Even Invincibles wouldn’t enjoy such a feeling.

The elder sighed again. Why did he even consider Yellow Nine’s words? He swore to beat that damn Yellow Nine to death one day. Also, the direct superior of that bastard was suspicious as well.

They had suffered too massively from this. Yellow Nine was probably the traitor who had caused Rainbow One and the others to die in the operation. No wonder Yellow Nine survived. Sigh. The elder greatly regretted his previous choice. He should have captured Yellow Nine long ago.

***

Meanwhile, Yellow Nine, who was hiding at an unknown location, shivered.

He felt like massive trouble was upon him. Something must have gone wrong when they tested Su Yu. But he could only wait for further updates. He hoped that the result wouldn’t be too bad for him.

***

Everyone was talking about Su Yu. Everyone was talking about the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion.

Great Xia City.

Prefect’s residence.

Marquis Xia stared at Xia Huyou silently. Xia Huyou was also staring at Marquis Xia silently.

After a long while, Marquis Xia asked, “Did you see Su Yu with your own eyes?”

“Nope.”

“So you only spoke through voice transmissions?”

“Yes.”

“Are you sure that was Su Yu?”

“Yes…I guess?”

Xia Huyou had a look of stupefaction. He didn’t know what to think. He still hadn’t recovered from his shock.

He had also heard of what happened.

Great Xia King had personally sent a message to someone in Allheaven Prefecture before the message was delivered straight to Great Xia.

Profound Nine might be pretending to be Su Yu.

The real Su Yu was enjoying life in Allheaven Battlefield. Not long ago, thirty-six stone statues had nearly demolished the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion for his sake. The Myriad Realms were shocked.

Through that incident, Su Yu officially became the overlord of a region. In Sea of Stars, Grandstar City was considered just as dangerous as the dragon race.

Were they sure Profound Nine was Su Yu? Marquis Xia and Xia Huyou continued staring at each other in stupefaction. Were they…fooled?

That was too terrifying a possibility. One ought to know that they had shared a lot of secrets with Profound Nine. Xia Huyou was the main culprit. Through his conversations with Profound Nine, he had leaked a large amount of information.

Holy shit!

If that was really a fake Su Yu, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Xia Huyou swallowed and said, “Previously, he sent me a message asking for help. He claimed that the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion wanted to test his identity. Second Granduncle, is it possible that…he found a solution without our help?”

Marquis Xia stared at Xia Huyou for a long while before saying, “Contact him. Make sure you see him with your own eyes. No, that might not be enough. Try to ask more questions to verify his identity. You should also pay Wan Tiansheng a visit…”

Was Wan Tiansheng fooled as well?

The mere thought of that caused Marquis Xia to shiver all over. No way, right? At this point, everyone was wondering if they had indeed been fooled. It was simply impossible for Su Yu to accomplish something like that while remaining in the Human Realm. That was too terrifying.

After a long while, Xia Huyou said sullenly, “Fine. I’ll try. But if that’s really a fake Su Yu…We sure are pitiful. No, it’s my uncle. He sure is pitiful. He has received a beating for nothing.”

That wasn’t exactly right. His beating had still helped progress their plan. However, the exposure of their plan would be disastrous for them.

Xia Huyou stood up and said, “I’ll see Faculty Head Hong and Teacher Bai in the academy first. Second Granduncle, if this whole thing is a lie…should we change our plan immediately?”

Marquis Xia nodded blankly. As a frequent schemer himself, he had finally experienced how it felt to be schemed against. Hopefully, Profound Nine was really Su Yu.

The Heavenly Hunt Pavilion needed to ensure that Su Yu wasn’t Profound Nine. But for them, they had to ensure that Profound Nine was Su Yu. That single incident had caused both parties to doubt the world.

It was too hard for anyone to believe that Su Yu was actually Profound Nine.

***

Su Yu would have never guessed that he would be such a successful spy, to the point where nobody could believe that he was a spy. He was most probably the most successful spy in history.

A few hours later, he met Xia Huyou as Bai Junsheng. Xia Huyou was extremely wary, staying far away from him. Beside Xia Huyou were Hong Tan and Bai Feng. All of them were staring at Su Yu suspiciously.

After a long while, Bai Feng asked, “Are you Su Yu?”

“…”

Su Yu was stunned.

Shouldn’t Bai Feng know the answer already?

Hong Tan said, “Who’s the person in the Allheaven Battlefield?”

“That’s one of my arrangements…”

They continued staring at him with disbelief.

Fortunately, Bai Feng was slightly convinced as he said, “I think so as well. Teacher, why would a fake Su Yu be so generous with us? We received a few hundred drops of sunmoon profound yellow liquid from him.”

Hong Tan was hit with a realization. True!

This must be the real Su Yu!

Even Xia Huyou was slightly relieved to hear that. Such wealth…such generosity…this…was probably the real Su Yu, right?

How terrifying.

From them, Su Yu finally learned of everything that had happened. He was completely dumbfounded.

He only asked his big brother to solve a small problem for him. Was there a need for…that? His big brother even summoned all thirty-six stone statues to attack the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion together?

Holy shit!

Was the stone statue perhaps his father instead of his big brother?
