Tribulation of Myriad Races

Luminous Domain Mansion.

Su Yu looked at Yellow Nine with an indifferent and cold expression.

This was his first time seeing Yellow Nine’s face. She even had a tiny bit of baby fat left on her face. Clearly, she was still quite young.

A member of the Liu Family.

That was Hollow’s claim.

Su Yu had never investigated it. He had never asked Liu Wenyan about it either. Almost everyone in the Liu Family was dead. If this were the truth, it would be a joy. But if it was a lie, it would only give Liu Wenyan a temporary joy before shattering it, on top of reminding him further about the tragedy of his family.

Furthermore, Yellow Nine had grown up beside Hollow. Su Yu believed that one’s environment when growing up would decide everything, not one’s bloodline. If Yellow Nine and Hollow were evil beyond redemption, there was no need for her to return even if she was really a member of the Liu Family.

If she were to return, the Liu Family would treat her well due to guilt. She might cause the Liu Family to suffer even more losses.

Was the Liu Family powerful?

No.

It was only a family with two Sunmoons now.

Of course, they were still considerably well-connected. For example, they were connected to people like Great Xia King, Xia Longwu, Nan Wujiang, Yun Chen, Wan Tiansheng, and even Su Yu.

Some Invincibles also owed them a debt for what they did back then. That was the main reason why they had been left alone even after separating from humanity. Such a Liu Family might not look strong, but they could perhaps get the assistance of three or even five Invincibles if they really tried.

If someone with evil intentions were allowed to influence such a Liu Family disproportionately, things might grow disastrous. It wasn’t that Liu Wenyan was stupid. But he would tolerate her excessively due to his guilt.

After all, he was the reason for the Liu Family’s collapse.

Su Yu stared at Yellow Nine blankly.

How should he handle her?

Killing her…would be fine if he could hide it forever. But if it was exposed, he wouldn’t be able to face Liu Wenyan anymore.

Su Yu started hesitating.

This was a scenario he had never expected. She must have guessed his identity as well.

***

Meanwhile, Yellow Nine was feeling greatly fearful.

She was horrified.

A book…killing immortals…an incomparably powerful strength, an overbearing and proud gaze, and sparing a human…Su Yu!

This was Su Yu!

Everyone thought that he was still in his ancient city. He was here! He had entered!

Not only had he entered, he but even had a unique control over the tunnels.

He was able to transfer multiple immortals near him instantly. This wasn’t normal.; He had also killed a third-stage Sunmoon easily. Was that book the weapon he had forged recently?

What should she do?

With her years of experience in the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion, Yellow Nine started sweating nervously. She was no fool. She knew that Su Yu was thinking about killing her. Her status as a member of the Liu Family was the only thing holding him back. Her identity as a human would not matter. It wasn’t like Su Yu had never killed any humans before.

Yellow Nine guessed everything instantly and hurriedly said, “S-Lord Profound Nine, I won’t expose anything. I won’t tell anyone. If you doubt me, you can even alter my memories or set up a seal in my sea of willpower.”

After a short silence, Su Yu asked coldly, “Are you a member of the Liu Family?”

“I don’t know.” Yellow Nine answered, “I was never aware of this before. Subsequently, the Yellow Department head, the one known as Zhu Tianfang, spoke to my elder about this. He claimed that I came from a major human family. My elder picked me up about twenty years ago in the Allheaven Battlefield. Through my investigations, I found that the Liu Family was the only family to encounter great chaos twenty years ago.

“That was why my elder and Lord Zhu deduced that I came from the Liu Family. I am talented enough to have their bloodline in me. The timing was also right. Only families living in the Allheaven Battlefield long-term will give birth to babies in the Allheaven Battlefield.”

For the most part, newborns would not appear in the Allheaven Battlefield. For the human race, only those residing there long-term would give birth there. It was very likely that she was the lost baby of the Liu Family.

Of course, it wouldn’t be too difficult to verify that. They could always inspect her blood. With Liu Wenyan around, they could easily determine whether she was really a Liu.

After staring at her for a while, a furball appeared in Su Yu’s hand. He said, “Open your sea of willpower.”

Terror covered Yellow Nine’s face.

A soul devourer! The race feared by everyone!

Meanwhile, the little furball was looking around while yawning lazily. When his gaze landed on Yellow Nine, a look of amusement flickered in his eyes, as though he was watching an entertaining show. He had no idea why this human was so scared. Perhaps Yummy was too scary. Yes. That must be it.

Su Yu asked again, “Open your sea of willpower. Don’t make me repeat myself. Let the furball enter your sea of willpower. Furball, keep a close watch on her. The moment she tries anything funny, eat her sea of willpower.”

The little furball was already quite powerful. He had advanced into the Mountainsea Realm not long ago. Subsequently, he had also consumed much of the crimson men sent by the heavenly laws to punish Su Yu.

Not even Su Yu knew the furball’s actual cultivation level anymore. However, he was sure the little furball was still not a Sunmoon. But inside someone else’s sea of willpower, the little furball would have no trouble consuming the sea of willpower with one bite since the sea of willpower would essentially be defenseless against him in that situation.

Yellow Nine had a look of despair. She was aware of how terrifying the soul devourers were. The moment she opened her sea of willpower, the soul devourer would reside in her sea of willpower. The sheer thought of that sent dread coursing through her entire being.

Left with no choice, she did as told.

However, the little furball resisted with the look of someone being forced to eat something disgusting, “Don’t wanna!”

He didn’t want to enter her sea of willpower. It did not smell good. Su Yu’s sea of willpower smelled a lot better.

Su Yu’s sea of willpower was very comfortable. The little furball spent all his time either sleeping or licking characters. He loved this life. In fact, it had been quite a while since he last left this lair. It smelled too good to leave.

What if Yummy decided to abandon him during his time elsewhere? No thanks. The little furball refused.

Su Yu repeated himself, “Go in. When she tries something funny, eat her and you can return. Maybe you won’t even need to wait long for that.”

The little furball blinked. Was that it? In that case, could he simply eat her and claim that she was trying something funny after doing so? She wouldn’t be around to argue anymore, right?

Just then, Yellow Nine hurriedly said, “I won’t do anything improper. But…can you not assign this fellow to me? Just look at his eyes. He’s clearly trying to kill me before framing me for the merit.”

“Ahh? How did you know that?”

The little furball was surprised. How did she know that?

Yellow Nine felt like crying. The little furball was being so obvious about it. How could she not know it? What a terrifying fellow. This was the crown prince of the soul devourer race. The descendant of two Pseudo Emperors.

Su Yu appeared unbothered. While playing with the furball in his hand, he said, “Don’t eat her if she doesn’t err too badly. No matter what, she might be family to my Teacher Liu. She might not care about her family, but I have to take note of this, right?”

“Fine.”

The little furball flew sulkily into Yellow Nine’s sea of willpower. Yellow Nine turned deathly pale. If Su Yu were to kill her, it would be over in an instant. But this was different. This was essentially the installation of a time bomb in her head. She could be constantly tormented by the stress.

The little furball appeared quite picky. After entering the sea of willpower, he started fussing around, kicking all her characters around before picking her strongest character and giving it a lick.

He looked adorable. But in Yellow Nine’s eyes, he was a monster with a bloody mouth and sharp fangs. The chosen character was none other than her main character. Just look at that furball. He was sleeping on the character, giving it a lick every now and then. In Yellow Nine’s eyes, the furball was clearly waiting to eat her.

With the little furball in Yellow Nine’s sea of willpower, Su Yu had nothing to worry about anymore. Now, her life was in his hands.

He said, “You will be traveling with me and acting as my protector. As a seventh-stage Mountainsea near the eighth stage, are you comparable to a first-stage Sunmoon in combat?”

Yellow Nine no longer felt like resisting. She answered in a dispirited manner, “No. But it won’t be easy for first-stage Sunmoons to kill me.”

“Trash.” Su Yu complained, “You’re worse than Sunmoon yet you dared to pick a fight with me?”

“…”

Yellow Nine nearly had a meltdown then and there. She swore inwardly. Who was picking a fight with who here? When had she ever picked a fight with him?

She had merely entered the mansion like normal. The first thing she saw after entering was this fellow murdering a bunch of immortals. She had nearly died. How did that translate into her picking a fight with him?

So what if she was worse than Sunmoon? She was only a Mountainsea!

Suddenly, she yelled in fear, “NOOO!”

When Su Yu coughed, the little furball emerged from Yellow Nine’s head and asked doubtfully, “What? She was scolding you inwardly. That’s a sign of treachery. You said it yourself. I should eat her for this. Why did you stop me?”

“…”

Yes. The little furball was on the verge of completing his mission and returning. He could feel Yellow Nine scolding Su Yu in her mind. Thus, he had opened his mouth to eat her and end his mission.

Alas, Su Yu had stopped him. Why was Yummy impeding his mission? Su Yu did not bother to say much. Instead, he took the time to study his surroundings. With the little furball who was eagerly waiting for Yellow Nine to try something funny, there was no need for him to worry about her.

Su Yu noted that he was located in a mountainous area.

Towering mountains surrounded him from all sides.

All around him, the ambient source qi was thick enough to form rolling fog around the mountains, giving the area an ethereal feel. Roars of beasts could be heard every now and then.
