Tribulation of Myriad Races

Numerous explosions erupted in the air.

Just then, Su Yu focused on the saber in the courtyard with flickering eyes. He had noticed that the saber had actually trembled slightly. As it trembled, a tiny amount of death qi leaked out from the center of the pavilion.

He was not the only person who had noticed that. All the Pseudo Invincibles standing guard near the gate had noticed the same. An immortal Pseudo Invincible roared, “Watch out! Notify your respective Invincibles! He Tu is scheming something! The divine weapon here seems to be reacting!”

Before long, a Pseudo Invincible roared, “Lords, He Tu is shaking the suppressive divine weapon to open the death tunnel. Please watch out.”

At that, He Tu’s voice rang out, “Damn you! Why are your eyes so sharp? This is my home! How dare you take over my territory? How dare you stop me from going home? Just you wait! You will regret this!”

Then, the explosions stopped as silence returned.

Moments later, several Invincibles arrived. Instead of entering the residence, they gazed down at the pond from above. One of them frowned and said, “Pay close attention to this place. He Tu is trying to shake the divine weapon and displace the tunnel. Notify us the moment you see anything. Nobody above the ninth-stage Sunmoon Realm are allowed to kill each other in the residence. Disobey this at your own risk.”

The appearance of an Invincible death spirit would place the residence on lockdown. The Invincibles were greatly displeased with this. Thus, they had decided to prohibit all combat between Pseudo Invincibles in the residence.

Just as the Invincible was about to leave, an immortal king said, “One more thing. The moment the residence is unlocked, are the devils handing Mo Duona out or do you want us to pick him up ourselves?”

The Invincible who had spoken earlier was a devil king.

Hearing Immortal King Yueshi’s words, the devil king said, “Must you create trouble at this time? A battle between the devils and immortals will involve more than ten Invincibles. Who will stop He Tu when we’re all busy? As for the matter involving Mo Duona, we can talk about it outside the mansion. Are you trying to let the other races take advantage of the battle between us?”

Immortal King Yueshi said, “Is that a no?”

The devil king coldly replied, “Do you think that the immortals are ruling the myriad races? Do you think that the devils fear the immortals? I told you. We’ll talk about this matter outside. Are you thinking of making a move forcefully in here?”

Immortal King Yueshi said, “If that’s your answer, don’t blame us for ignoring the unspoken rules. Xuan Wuji and the others are dead. There are five of us. We won’t have any issue slaughtering the other young devils in the mansion.”

“You are free to try.”

The devil king shot back unrelentingly. Immortal King Yueshi merely sneered without saying anything else.

So be it.

Their young geniuses were all dead. Only a small number of non Invincible immortals were left. Since the devils were unwilling to compromise, they wouldn’t mind going wild for once. The Invincibles wouldn’t be easy to kill, but that was not the case for those below the Invincible Realm.

The devil king cursed inwardly. This was a thorny problem. Mo Duona was crazy. Why did he do that? It was fine to kill Yang Hu. But why did he kill all the other young geniuses? With all the young geniuses dead, the immortal kings were free to act with impunity. They had nothing to fear since they had nothing to lose.

Without the young geniuses around, they wouldn’t care even if the rest of the immortals in the mansion died as a result of their battle. Why should they hold back from killing the other devils? So what if that would trigger a battle between Invincibles? Invincibles weren’t so easy to kill. Since they had suffered, they naturally needed to make others suffer as well.

The devil king’s expression changed repeatedly. Finally, he tossed a threat out, “You better keep yourself in check. Don’t forget that the humans, divines, and dragons have a lot of young geniuses in the mansion as well. Don’t take your anger out on everyone else just because you got unlucky and lost all your young geniuses.”

That was the only solution the devil king could think of. He had to drag the other races into this mess as well. The immortals had nothing to lose. But that was not the case for the other races.

Those from the other races knew that this was the devil king’s attempt to drag them into the mess, but they had to react. A different voice rang out from afar, “Even if the immortals and devils wish to fight each other, you have to maintain your bottom line. If we start killing the juniors, total chaos will descend. Eventually, all races will go extinct. The myriad races have been able to prosper for so long because we have all been maintaining our bottom line. Immortal King Yueshi, those below the Eternal Realm can attack Mo Duona or even kill him. Eternals should stay out of this. Stop making a joke out of yourself.”

The one who had spoken was a divine king. Next, a dragon king spoke, “The immortals still have a lot of juniors in the mansion. What’s the point of triggering a war now?”

The humans did not bother to get involved. This was none of their business. For some reason, this trip into the mansion felt incredible. Before the other races could even start targeting the humans, the immortals and devils had turned against each other. It was also clear that nobody wanted to see the immortals go crazy inside the mansion.

With a frosty expression, Immortal King Yueshi said, “We shall see. Nobody has ever escaped punishment after killing so many of us. Mo Duona? Even the Devil Pseudo Emperor himself would need to explain himself to us if he were to kill Xuan Wuji.”

Immortal King Yueshi could see that everyone was against the idea of war while they were in the mansion. If he said more, the others might join hands to suppress them. However, they couldn’t let this slide.

Suddenly, a different voice rang out, “Mo Duona is not the type to kill for no reason. There might be a misunderstanding. He might have been forced to do it. Or there might be some other reason. Or perhaps he’s not Mo Duona anymore. I suggest you look for Lan Tian before doing anything. As for the power of the Devil Pseudo Emperor you sensed earlier, how accurate could your senses be with a seal around the residence? Lan Tian once worked with the devils for many years. It won’t be surprising for him to have some devil clones as well. It won’t be difficult for him to replace Mo Duona in the mansion.”

At that, Xia Longwu’s cold voice rang out, “Long Yue, stop trying to shift the blame to us humans. Mo Duona himself admitted to what he did. Are you trying to twist the truth?”

The devil replied, “I was merely suggesting a probability. Even if that was really Mo Duona, it is possible that his memories have been altered by Lan Tian. Who knows? Mo Duona is not strong enough to kill so many experts. Zhankui might be strong, but he would need to cripple himself to kill Yang Hu. During the battle, I was able to sense that the first death phenomenon to appear was generated by Zhankui, not Yang Hu. How do you explain that? Zhankui was the first to die. Even if he had seriously injured Yang Hu before dying, Yang Hu still wouldn’t be an opponent Mo Duona could kill easily. Mo Duona looked relatively fine when he left the room. Even with the Devil Pseudo Emperor’s blood essence, he wouldn’t be strong enough to kill all those people without suffering much injuries.”

The devil king continued, “If Lan Tian is inside the Devote King’s residence right now, he is definitely one of the suspects. If he’s currently outside the residence, I’ll—”

“Are you looking for me?”

Suddenly, a white-haired old man appeared in the distance and grinned, “Are you talking about me?”

The devil king blanked out slightly, but he recovered immediately and said, “Lan Tian, there is no need for this. The more you try to explain yourself, the more you have to hide. You have countless clones. Who knows which is your real body? Looks like you’re feeling anxious. That’s why you’re in a rush to explain yourself.”

Inside the residence, Su Yu sighed with admiration.

Incredible.

That devil king was amazing at sophistry. If Lan Tian remained in hiding, he would be a suspect. If he revealed himself, he was trying to hide something. In any case, the devils were determined to throw the blame Lan Tian’s way.

Either Lan Tian was the murderer or he had controlled Mo Duona to perform all those murders. Mo Duona was naturally innocent. Su Yu almost envied that ability to twist facts.

Amazing.

Look at how all those devil kings were trying to twist facts and throw the blame toward Lan Tian. Su Yu thought to himself that he would be feeling greatly thankful for the devils right this moment if he were Mo Duona.

The devils were trying very hard to protect Mo Duona. Lan Tian and the humans would be displeased, but why would the devils care about this? Would they care about Lan Tian’s feelings?

Unsurprisingly, several powerful auras erupted. Qin Zhen roared, “Where is your sense of shame? Mo Duona admitted it himself. Why are you blaming us for what he did?”

The devil king said, “Not many humans have died in the mansion, but the other races have suffered gravely. Nobody is stupid. Is this a scheme of the humans? You know how important Mo Duona is for us. That was why you killed Xuan Wuji and framed Mo Duona for it. My brothers from the immortal race, don’t fall for their trick. If we end up fighting each other, the humans will benefit.”

At that time, Immortal King Xuan He spoke, “Yueshi, calm down. Brother Long Yue is right. We will investigate properly before doing anything. Nobody will be able to escape our wrath after wronging us.”

Immortal King Yueshi snorted, but his expression started changing.

With a gloomy expression, Lan Tian said, “This…you’re framing me! I’m innocent!”

With a helpless expression, he started screeching, “How can you do this to me? How can you sully my innocence? I am not someone so ruthless. Su Yu is the only person capable of doing something like this! Why aren’t you blaming Su Yu? Just say that he’s here. Just say that he’s hiding amid the crowd. Just throw the blame at him! Why me? Why?”

“…”

Instantly, the little bit of pity Su Yu had generated toward Lan Tian evaporated.

Fuck that!

Lan Tian deserved this! Why was Lan Tian trying to drag him into this mess? He wasn’t even in the mansion! He was still in the ancient city.

Lan Tian continued screeching, “You’re framing me! Why are you treating me like this? I’m innocent! I’m innocent!”

For some reason, his behavior caused everyone to shiver.

With a flicker, someone appeared in his hand. With the same wronged expression, he said, “I was planning to release him, but not anymore! How can you frame me?”

Boom!

A nearly full moon dropped from the sky. That was a Pseudo Invincible. He had been crushed to death by Lan Tian before he could even say anything.

By the time a divine king reached, Lan Tian had vanished into nothingness. His voice continued resounding in the air, “I have been wronged! It wasn’t me! I have been wronged! I’m so angry! I have been wronged! How can you do this to me? How can you frame me? How can you frame me like this?”

Countless voices resounded throughout the seventh level. At that point, the expressions of the Invincibles started changing. Countless screeching Lan Tians appeared everywhere. Some were men, some were women. Some were old, some were young. They all had a wronged expression.

“Why must you frame me?”

“I have been wronged!”

Madman!

The divine king cursed and said, “That has nothing to do with the divine race!”

Fuck!

Why did Lan Tian kill a divine for something the devils did?

Damn it!

This madman seemed to have grown even stronger than before. He had captured a Pseudo Invincible without anyone noticing.

“I don’t care! I have been wronged! I have been wronged!”

The divine king killed several Lan Tians near him, but it changed nothing. Lan Tian continued screeching, “I have been wronged! I am furious! I am giving the devils a chance to apologize! Apologize or I’ll be angry!”

At that, the expressions of the devil kings changed further. Was this madman so difficult to deal with? Why weren’t they aware of this before? He was only a ninth-stage Sunmoon. He wasn’t even a Pseudo Invincible as he had no tri-life bodies. He only had countless clones.

“Are the humans trying to challenge the myriad races?” A devil king questioned.

His answer came in the form of a saber. Xia Longwu’s furious voice rang out, “Do you take us humans for pushovers? Lan Tian and Wan Tiansheng have betrayed humanity. What else do you want? Kill him yourself if you want to do something about it.”

Once again, Lan Tian screamed, “No! I didn’t betray humanity! Both Tiansheng and I will rebuild humanity! I have been wronged!”

“…”

How should one respond to the words of a lunatic? Even Xia Longwu was left speechless. He decided to stay silent. Lan Tian was simply too difficult to deal with. After avoiding Xia Longwu’s saber, the devil king thought about it and decided to shut his mouth.

Whatever. He only needed to shift the blame toward Lan Tian. There was no need for him to further provoke the humans.

***

Around Su Yu, several experts were shivering as well.

Lan Tian was no Invincible, but everyone found him scary. He was capable of killing a Pseudo Invincible like he was killing a chick. Was he really still a ninth-stage Sunmoon? Meanwhile, the divines had ugly expressions. This was a conflict between the immortals, devils, and Lan Tian. Why did Lan Tian kill a divine? Sure enough, there was no reasoning with a lunatic.

A divine near Su Yu sent a voice transmission to them, “Be careful. Stay away from that lunatic. He has gone mad. It won’t be surprising for him to pick another person to kill next. What a pity that he had picked a divine first…”

He sounded very helpless. Not even the divine king could do anything to Lan Tian. Even now, Lan Tian was still screeching.

Eventually, even Su Yu started shivering in fear. This…Lan Tian’s resentment was on the verge of merging with Old Zhou’s resentment. Why wasn’t Lan Tian stopping? If this continued, Old Zhou might wake up!

Theoretically, Lan Tian wasn’t supposed to be able to contact Old Zhou. But Su Yu could feel that Old Zhou was starting to respond to Lan Tian’s screeches. Why was that happening? Could it be that Old Zhou was a lunatic like Lan Tian?

Holy shit!
