Tribulation of Myriad Races

The two elders nodded and continued laying praises on Su Yu. Before long, he was done working on the chunk of metal.

The eighth elder smiled, “Not bad. Sixty percent of the essence remains. You’re pretty good at this.”

“Thank you, Elder.”

“You don’t have to be overly humble.” The eighth elder said, “Keep working hard. You stand to gain a lot if you continue your good job, especially during the upcoming events related to the Nanyuan ruin. You’re already the leader of our Great Xia operations. We’re here to assist you, not make things troublesome for you. If you have any issues, do not hesitate to inform us. We will deal with anything you’re having trouble with.”

Su Yu thought about it and voiced his request without any hesitation, “I need your help with this, Elders. I am trying to take over the Myriad Race Cult. Those people have been trying to play dumb and waste time. If the two elders can help kill a few of their Sunmoons, they will cower and willingly serve as our dogs.”

“That…fine. If you can locate them, we will do something about this.”

The two Pseudo Invincibles agreed. Yes, this might offend the Myriad Race Cult. But was there a need for them to fear the cult? They were confident they could deal with even the First Divine Sect master and Original Devil Sect master. According to what they heard, one of the two sect masters was a ninth-stage Sunmoon while the other was an eighth-stage Sunmoon. Was there a need for two Pseudo Invincibles to fear them?

“Thank you.” After thanking the two elders, Su Yu looked at First Profound and asked, “Elder, are you busy with any mission at the moment?”

“No.”

“In that case, I’ll have to trouble you as well. Can you operate alongside me and cover my back for now? I need to scout the hideouts of the cult, kill some people, and force some people out. All those hidden experts will be exposed for everyone to see. This will make it easier for us to operate in Great Xia.”

“Sure.”

The two enforcer elders also nodded. That was the right thing to do. Only by forcing everyone to reveal themselves would the pavilion be able to operate better in Great Xia. How boring would it be to let some people continue hiding in the shadows while everyone else was in conflict?

Su Yu continued, “One more thing. I need to establish contact with Ji Hong. Both Yellow Nine and I were there when Ji Hong talked about the secret previously. Ji Hong is very important. Perhaps the three of us are the only ones aware of this secret right now…”

“What is this secret?”

“Ji Hong knows the identity of the human Invincible traitor.”

That shocked all three elders.

“Are you sure?”

Profound Nine had refused to elaborate more about Ji Hong previously, and they did not force the issue. Now that they were told the truth, it was shocking indeed.

Seeing their reaction, Su Yu nodded, “Yes. That’s why I want to conduct a further investigation about this. If we can grasp this secret, we will be able to get a lot from either the human experts or that traitor. Perhaps we can get even carrier treasures out of this. Who knows? We might even be able to recruit a human Invincible into the pavilion.”

Su Yu continued, “With this secret, it will be possible for that Invincible to join us. The pavilion does not care about where you come from. That Invincible will choose to join us if they’re not stupid. Maybe they will even be put in charge of us. With this addition, the pavilion will grow further in strength.”

The three elders were greatly shocked. One of them said, “We were not aware of this. Before we do anything, we need to report this to the higher-ups. Profound Nine…why didn’t you report this earlier? Yellow Nine is a traitor. What if he leaks this information? Ji Hong is too important. Are you sure he knows this?”

“He sounded confident, but I can’t be sure yet. I need to investigate further and get in contact with him. I can see that Ji Hong doesn’t fully trust the Xia Family either. By buying the information from him, we’re actually doing him a favor.”

“That is reasonable.”

The elders were once again impressed by Su Yu’s ability to contribute to the pavilion. He seemed capable of everything. No secret could remain a secret from him. With Profound Nine around, the pavilion would be able to maximize its benefits in the Human Realm.

“Profound Nine, about the Nanyuan ruin’s entrance…”

Su Yu indifferently said, “It’s right inside Su Yu’s house. It’s not even a big secret. Elders, you are free to go there yourself. But I don’t think it’s a good idea to trigger its appearance right now. That will turn the pavilion into everyone’s enemy. It’s not wise to do that. Great Ming King is also still around. We won’t get anything out of this if Great Ming King manages to snatch the ruin before us. At the very least, we need to wait until Great Ming King is away or kept busy with a different matter before acting.”

Inwardly, Su Yu thought that Great Ming King couldn’t leave yet. He still needed more time. With Great Ming King around, nobody would dare to trigger the ruin’s appearance in advance. It would be best to do so when more experts were here and no Invincible was around.

“That’s right!”

The two elders nodded. Profound Nine was truly too good at this. What a good member to have in the pavilion. He had considered all there was to consider. They might be strong, but it was simply impossible for them to actually contend against Great Ming King. They could only act after Great Ming King was gone.

“What if Great Ming King searches Nanyuan and discovers the ruin?”

They started worrying.

Su Yu smiled, “We’re not the only ones worrying about this. Everyone is worrying about the same thing. Don’t worry. Everyone will be thinking of a way to make him leave. It’s also unlikely that Great Ming King will dare to actually search Nanyuan. That will only make Great Ming everyone’s common enemy.”

Once again, the two elders were impressed by Profound Nine’s wisdom.

First Profound rolled his eyes and said, “Do you think we don’t know this as well? Why are you trying to get involved with everything? Don’t bite off more than you can chew.”

“First Profound, you shouldn’t be too strict with Profound Nine. He’s still young. It’s good for a youngster to have such vigor, unlike old timers like us.”

First Profound said, “I’m only worried that he will get too brazen and put himself in danger.”

Su Yu said, “You’re right, Elder. I was too rash.”

First Profound said, “It’s good that you know this. Don’t think that the pavilion won’t be able to get anything done without you. The pavilion has survived in the Allheaven Battlefield for countless years. Do you think you’re the only capable member in the pavilion? Some people have merely been hiding their ability, unwilling to contribute unless they stand to gain something big. Do you think you alone can turn the pavilion into the biggest organization in the Allheaven Battlefield? For now, the three of us can still provide you with some protection. But when you become an elder in the future, you will have to start relying on yourself. If you continue acting so rashly, you will eventually suffer a miserable end.”

Some of those words were merely an act First Profound was putting up for the two enforcer elders, but some were also his sincere advice. He was reminding Su Yu to not get overconfident in a roundabout way. The Heavenly Hunt Pavilion was far more complicated than Su Yu knew. Some people only looked incompetent because they were hiding their real ability.

Understanding dawned on Su Yu.

With his head lowered, he solemnly said, “Profound Nine understands. The matter of Invincibles is not for me to participate in. The pavilion and the various races must have decided on what to do with Great Ming King. I shouldn’t have tried to get involved in this.”

The third elder laughed, “First Profound is right. Profound Nine, learn more from First Profound. Someone will deal with Great Ming King. I reckon some Invincibles are already waiting eagerly amid the boundless void to attack the realm barrier. Great Ming King will be too busy to care about the things happening here.”

Su Yu’s heart thumped. Was that the case? In that case, he had to ask Old Zhu about this later. Had Great Ming King really been forced to leave? Why was he unaware of this? Whatever. he could simply ask Old Zhu if he wanted to know more.

Shortly after, Su Yu and First Profound left the meeting place together.

With a sigh, Su Yu sent a voice transmission, “Elder, that was dangerous. You were too brazen.”

“Am I supposed to fear them?” First Profound said, “They are only slightly stronger than me, but they are not a threat. The people from the Enforcement Unit are quite rigid in their way of thinking. Compared to them, the department heads are far more dangerous. The only thing good about these enforcer elders is their strength.”

After a short pause, the elder asked, “Were you telling the truth about Ji Hong?”

“Yes.”

“In that case…he’ll be in danger.”

“I didn’t tell anyone else about this.”

“Yes, but he might leak it himself to lure that Invincible out.”

Su Yu was alarmed. True. He had already suspected that Ji Hong had only said those words to Rainbow One previously to leak this matter through a different party.

First Profound asked, “How about the ruin? Is that a real ruin?”

“Of course. How can I fool everyone with a fake ruin?”

“Maybe that’s the case for others, but it’s hard to say when you, the number one scammer of the Myriad Realms, are involved.”

First Profound continued, “You have plenty of sunmoon profound yellow liquid and heavenly source qi. The stone statue had also blasted several tri-life bodies previously. So taking out some carrier treasures won’t be an issue for you either. As for the Culture Tomb…the Character Technique Stele has always been rumored to be the actual Culture Tomb. It’s not out of reach for you. Do you think I’ll actually believe that this is a real ruin?”

“Elder, just who are you?”

Su Yu was getting more and more curious.

“Your grandpa.”

“@#!%*&#!*^#*@%^ you!”

Su Yu responded by sending a message with a long string of characters to the elder. However, the elder merely replied nonchalantly, “I know 987 languages. You cursed me with seven different languages. I can read all of them.”

Holy shit!

This time, Su Yu cursed inwardly. Wasn’t that a tad bit too excessive?

“Elder, you remind me of someone.”

“Who?”

“My Teacher Liu. He always appears earnest and polite, but he’s shifty and shameless. He can infuriate someone to death just by talking calmly.”

“Is it appropriate for you to speak of your teacher like this?”

“Nope. But that’s the truth. He once told me that women are bad for cultivation. But he has a harem all for himself. He even fooled me in the past with a semi-fake willpower text without feeling any shame. You’re the same as him.”

“Sure enough, you’re a little bastard. Just look at the disrespect you’re showing your teacher.”

Su Yu rolled his eyes, “You’re as much of a bastard as me.”

How was he disrespecting his teacher? He was merely being honest. Also, his Teacher Liu was also outwardly cold but inwardly passionate. He had merely refrained from pointing that out all this while.

Whatever. He had also been keeping silent about the incident where his Teacher Liu was beaten up during his time in the high school for trying to hit on a female teacher.

Su Yu decided that he really had to keep this a secret for the sake of his teacher. Otherwise, his teacher’s glorious image would be shattered. Wu Yuehua and the others would also give his teacher a hard time if they learned about that matter. Fine, fine. What could he do but keep this a secret?

Su Yu started praising himself inwardly for the great kindness and loyalty he was showing his teacher. He could only hope that Chen Hao wouldn’t be the one to spread these stories instead. After all, Chen Hao was right beside him when he saw that incident.
