Tribulation of Myriad Races

Chapter 2141: Su Yu’s Big Plan (2)

Su Yu said, ”Why are you assuming that I’m using Tea Plant to scheme against Control King’s lineage? I’m not scheming against them. I’m helping them.”

Wan Tiansheng and the others frowned deeply. Nobody said anything.

Su Yu smiled. ”You see, this is my plan. Tea Plant is an innocent child.”

When everyone looked at Tea Plant, she looked back at them in confusion. Was she really so innocent?

”She’s so innocent she doesn’t know how precious her leaves are. She’s very powerful, but she’s very kind and friendly. One day, a weak cultivator from the chaos lineage stumbles upon my world. There, this person encounters a friendly Tea Plant. The Tea Plant even offers her tea leaves to this guest for free, allowing the guest to grow rapidly in strength.”

Su Yu continued narrating his story.

Su Yu narrowed his eyes and said, ”If this fellow from the chaos lineage is a villain, they will try to kill Tea Plant for all the tea leaves. But if this fellow is scared of Tea Plant, they will try fawn on Tea Plant to get more tea leaves.

”What if...rumors of Tea Plant having the ability to help people advance into Masters of Laws start spreading at that time? How will the myriad races react when they hear this rumor?”

Great Zhou King laughed and said, ”The myriad races will definitely not want to see them grow further. What if they manage to produce a Master of Law or two? In that case, the myriad races might be forced to attack earlier. They might even attack Tea Plant while they’re at it.”

Lan Tian smiled and added, ”If they attack the chaos lineage, that’s what we want to see. If they attack Tea Plant, the chaos lineage will also react. Both will end up entering this world. We don’t even need to do anything. They will all come to us.”

The best scammers were the ones capable of making their victims come to them, not the other way around.

Wan Tiansheng said, ”In that case, there are several points we need to handle. Firstly, Tea Plant isn’t strong enough. Her leaves are great, but not too effective for tier-two Daofuses or stronger people.

”Secondly, how do we arrange her encounter with someone from Control King’s lineage? Thirdly, how do we ensure the myriad races will hear about this without suspecting anything? Fourthly, the eight-winged tiger and tailless dragon know about your new world. Will they suspect anything? They have seen Tea Plant as well.”

These were the issues he saw with this plan. Tea Plant would be the core of this plan. Very few people knew that Tea Plant was also a chaos beast of sorts. Most of these beasts would avoid the Myriad Realms due to the suppression. Tea Plant was not subjected to the same suppression, but that was most likely due to something Culture King or Time Sage did back then.

Thus, there were very few interactions between chaos beasts and the other races. Su Yu did not have a tea plant near the level of a Master of Law he could use for this plan. Prior to this, Tea Plant was only a tier-four Daofuse. She had only grown into the third tier recently. And everyone knew that it was very difficult for a chaos beast to grow.

Su Yu nodded, ”Yes. Tea Plant is still too weak.”

Tea Plant had a wronged expression on her face. Was she really that weak? She felt like her strength was decent.

Su Yu continued, ”But it’s not like rapid growth isn’t possible. She follows the chaos dao. For the cultivators of this dao, growth is mainly stimulated by combat, devouring their opponents, and devouring natural treasures. She ate some of the chaos beasts we killed back then, and I can extract some chaos power of higher purity for her later. This will be enough to make her a tier-two Daofuse or even a heavenly king. As for the aura of an expert we need from her, well, we can bury South Heavenly King in the soil under her.”

South Heavenly King stared at Su Yu. What?

Su Yu grinned, ”This is my world. I can easily hide anyone I want. We can bury South Heavenly King near Tea Plant’s roots. She can emanate the aura of an expert from down there. Of course, Tea Plant is the actual chaos beast here so she’ll need to personally provide the aura of chaos as well.”

This combination would create the aura of a chaos expert near the level of a Master of Law.

”Tea Plant’s leaves are indeed not too useful for peak Daofuses, so we’ll need to lean on the art of counterfeiting.” Su Yu said, ”She can use her tea leaves as unwanted trash she’s giving away. If even some unwanted leaves are so impressive, what about the more valuable leaves?

”We can hang some golden, shiny leaves on her body. She can claim that these are her essence leaves and she won’t be giving them away. Everyone will assume that those are indeed precious treasures. She can keep her leaves on her lower body and treat those leaves as unwanted trash she’s willing to give away. If even her unwanted trash leaves are so helpful for tier-two Daofuses, will everyone grow curious about her precious leaves?”

Everyone nodded. Definitely.

In such a scenario, even the trash leaves would be treated as treasure, not to mention the golden leaves.

Su Yu said, ”Furthermore, we can even imprint some of our chaos comprehension into her leaves to make them seem even more precious. Since they will be consuming the leaves inside my world, I can also increase their comprehension rate after they consume the leaves. Everyone will believe that her tea leaves are precious comprehension treasures.”

Everyone gasped in shock. Sure enough, Su Yu was extremely good at scheming.

”As for the encounter with someone from Control King’s lineage...” Su Yu thought about it and said, ”I’m considering a cooperation with Hundred Battle. He has a suspicious relationship with Yue Luo. It is likely that he has his own agents among Control King’s lineage.”

Wan Tiansheng hesitated slightly before saying, ”That’s inadvisable. He will learn too much about us through such a cooperation. Your Majesty, I believe...we can consider a cooperation with the eight-winged tiger.”

”Hmm?”

When Su Yu looked at him, Wan Tiansheng explained, ”You saw the tiger yourself. That’s a smart fellow. I believe we can use that fellow as the middleman. We can have him pursue some people from Control King’s lineage and deliberately guide those people into our place.

”Or we can have him send some chaos beasts to undergo advancement in our place. News will leak from the beasts, not us. Nobody will suspect anything.”

Everyone would be suspicious of Su Yu, but nobody would be suspicious of the chaos beasts. Most people had the impression that chaos beasts were brainless. Their strength changed nothing. Thus, Control King’s lineage would believe a rumor coming from the chaos beasts.

Su Yu thought about it and said, ”I’m worried that the eight-winged tiger is colluding with Control King’s lineage.”

Wan Tiansheng shook his head, ”I doubt so. Are Control King’s lineage and the chaos beasts really allied? Not necessarily. They would have fought together long ago otherwise. Only Control King knows the exact status of their relationship. Also, can the chaos beasts behind the Hell Gate really represent all the chaos beasts out here? The tiger is the best cooperation partner we can ask for.”

Such a cooperation would make a lot of things easier.

Wan Tiansheng continued, ”We are much stronger in here. Furthermore, your world will subject them to suppression upon entering. Here, South Heavenly King is comparable to a Master of Law. Here, we have more Venerables and heavenly kings.”

Wan Tiansheng laughed and said, ”I must say that you have a very flexible mind. This is similar to how we lured everyone to Nanyuan through the fake ruin back then. For the sake of the ruin, everyone was forced to gather and fight. But not even the Nanyuan ruin was capable of suppressing our opponents. This time, we have something that is actually capable of suppressing our enemies.”

In truth, this should be a familiar scheme for many people. However, nobody would expect Su Yu to reuse the scheme in such a manner.

Wan Tiansheng added, ”If Tea Plant’s leaves are useful for chaos cultivators who are trying to advance into Masters of Laws, Venerables like Yue Hao and even that Ancestor will be tempted. And their first thought would be to snatch everything forcefully.”

”But they might be wary since that is actually the eight-winged tiger’s territory.” He looked at Su Yu and said, ”Your Majesty, do you think Control King’s lineage has any arrangements hidden among the chaos beasts?”

Su Yu thought about it and nodded, ”Maybe.”

”Exactly. If they have spies among the tiger’s subordinates as well, things will be even easier for us. We can get the tiger to agree to work with us and have him sneak over to Tea Plant’s place. Of course, someone will notice and tail him before selling the information to Control King’s lineage. By having the information go through several layers of obstacles before reaching them, they will be much more willing to believe it.”

By increasing the difficulty of obtaining that information, Control King’s lineage would be more inclined to believe that the information was true.

”With this, Control King’s lineage won’t act immediately due to their wariness, giving the myriad races time to learn of this as well. But we need to find a way to leak this information to the myriad races as well.”

March couldn’t resist saying, ”I can just tell them.”

”...”

Everyone rolled their eyes.

Nonsense.

It would be fine before that, but the myriad races would grow suspicious the moment they heard it from him.

Screw him!

What a useless suggestion.

March had a look of resignation. What else could they do, then?

The myriad races would not enter the chaotic space for no reason. And how would they learn this information without going deep into the chaotic space?

Su Yu rubbed his chin and asked, ”Do the myriad races have any spies among Control King’s lineage?”

”I doubt so. Control King’s lineage has only emerged recently.” Great Zhou King shook his head. ”There isn’t enough time for the myriad races to plant stronger spies among Control King’s lineage.”

This was indeed a tricky question. March and Giant Axe Marquises looked at each other silently. Before long, everyone started looking at the two as well. Were they hearing this? Su Yu and his advisors were worried about the myriad races’ lack of information.

What exactly was going on here?

Su Yu muttered, ”True. We need to create a reliable information network for the myriad races...”

March couldn’t resist saying, ”I have an idea!”

”Yes, Senior March?”

”The myriad races are trying to rope in the eight-winged tiger and tailless dragon...”

At that, Su Yu’s eyes lit up. ”Tea Plant belongs to the eight-winged tiger, but Control King’s lineage discovered her. They are planning to snatch it forcefully. Left with no choice, the tiger can only look for the myriad races. He will let them know that they will all suffer together if they can’t stop Control King’s lineage. Thus, the myriad races will have sufficient incentive to act, whether they want the tea plant for themselves or if they only want to stop Control King’s lineage. Yes. This will be a reliable method to pass this information to them.”

”...”

Wow.

March didn’t know what to say anymore. He didn’t even get to finish his words before Su Yu came up with an entire plan based on what he said.

Su Yu narrowed his eyes and said, ”Even if we still fail to attract the myriad races, this plan is still worth carrying out just to kill a few Venerables from Control King’s lineage. Isn’t that right?”

To the side, Tea Plant grumbled with a wronged expression, ”How did I become the tiger’s personal belonging?”

She didn’t understand what they were talking about. She only knew that she would become a personal belonging of the eight-winged tiger. But that was not true! She belonged to the little master!

Su Yu coughed and explained, ”You won’t be his for real. This is only an act.”

What was she even thinking about?

Su Yu said, ”With this, we will have the advantage in terms of timing and geography. It would be for the best if this can cause a fight between the myriad races and Control King’s lineage. If not, we can move against Control King’s lineage ourselves.

”We can kill a few of their Venerables. That might tempt the myriad races into stepping on them while they’re done. The myriad races aren’t that big of a threat anymore. They lack the unity to actually pose us a serious threat.”

Lan Tian asked, ”What about Hundred Battle? I’m not trying to target him, but he has his own arrangements concerning Control King’s lineage. Our plan might interfere with his plan. We might even kill his people by accident. What, then?”

That could very well happen. What were they supposed to do if Control King’s lineage decided to send Yue Luo to snatch Tea Plant?

Lan Tian asked, ”Do we kill Yue Luo when she arrives? She’s very strong, but she might be on Hundred Battle’s side. If we spare her, our plan might fail. If we kill her, we might make Hundred Battle our enemy.”

After a short silence, Su Yu narrowed his eyes and said, ”We kill.”

Everyone’s hearts thumped.

Su Yu’s voice was cold as he said, ”Why should we spare her? Nobody from Control King’s lineage will be spared. And a major figure like her will naturally not be spared. Why should I care about the fact that she might be on Hundred Battle’s side?

”I only know that she’s not on my side. I don’t want to fight Hundred Battle because we’re fellow humans. It’s pointless to suffer casualties for a pointless quarrel. But am I supposed to treat him like a baby and take care of even his spies?”

As for the possibility of Hundred Battle King turning against him after Yue Luo’s death, so be it.

Su Yu was uninterested in protecting Hundred Battle King’s spy for him.
