Tribulation of Myriad Races-Chapter 1183: Fair (3)

As time passed, rumors of Nan Wujiang's survival started spreading.

After checking with the pavilion, Su Yu received notice that they were unable to verify Nan Wujiang's death.

It was only known that back then, Nan Wujiang had battled a Pseudo Invincible divine near the Sea of Stars. Eventually, both perished together. When Great Xia King arrived, only Nan Wujiang's battle character was left.

Yet again, it was Great Xia King!

Was he a professional corpse collector?

He was there to collect Ye Batian's remains. He was also there to collect Nan Wujiang's remains. Su Yu even started suspecting that perhaps Great Xia King had also been the one to collect the remains of all the other dead principals. How would there be so many grottos in the academy otherwise?

Clearly, Great Xia King was very bad at arriving when he was needed.

Then again, according to the records, Great Xia King himself had also been in a battle with an Invincible divine during Nan Wujiang's battle. They only stopped their battle to perform their task as corpse collectors after the two Pseudo Invincibles were dead.

According to the two Invincibles, a moon was seen falling from the sky that day.

However, the two Invincibles had only caught a glimpse from afar and they had assumed that the two moons had merely overlapped as both combatants had died at the same time. But was that really the case? Nobody doubted this story.

After all, nobody was near enough to bear a proper account of what happened. It was only known that the battle had been very intense as the clashes could be felt from far away.

Unlike the others who could only remain doubtful after hearing about this, Su Yu was losing control over his curiosity. Then again, he could simply ask about it. Why should he remain doubtful like the others? And thus, he took the most straightforward option available to him.

"Principal, is the third principal really not dead?"

"I don't know."

"How can you not know about this? Lan Tian is with you, right?"

"I don't know."

"Fine. I'll take my people and get to killing Lan Tian, then."

"Go ahead."

"..."

That was Wan Tiansheng's reply. He knew nothing. He didn't care about Lan Tian. Su Yu felt exceptionally gloomy. Why was Old Wan still keeping secrets from him? As for Old Wan's indifference to Lan Tian's fate, Old Wan probably thought that he would fail to kill Lan Tian. Or perhaps Old Wan believed that Lan Tian's death did not matter.

"Do you know the identity of First Profound Elder?"

"I don't know."

"What do you know?"

"I only know that your martial uncle seems to have arrived near Nanyuan. But it's unlikely that he will be able to enter the city smoothly."

Su Yu was speechless. Was that all Old Wan had to say? Fine, fine, that was also important to him. But his martial uncle was definitely aware that the ruin was fake. After all, he had received the Culture Tomb from none other than his martial uncle. With the Culture Tomb appearing inside the supposed ruin, it would be obvious to his martial uncle that the ruin was fake.

Whatever. It was about time he returned to Nanyuan again. He could also took the chance to take note of those who were targetting the Xia Family. As far as he was concerned, anyone still targetting the Xia Family right now would not be a good guy. He could then find a good excuse and opportunity to wipe all those people out with the over twenty Sunmoons he had at his disposal.

Yeap. He was just that brazen.

***

7th of November.

Nanyuan.

More and more experts were arriving in Nanyuan while all the local residents had been relocated from the city. Even the Martial Dragon Guard had withdrawn all soldiers below the Skysoar Realm. The remaining Martial Dragon Guard soldiers and five thousand Strength Guard soldiers were in charge of surrounding the entire city.

As for the Xia Family, two more of their late-stage Sunmoons had arrived. These were also the Sunmoons previously in charge of watching over their minor realms. As of this moment, the entire Nanyuan was akin to a bomb waiting to explode.

An incredibly large number of late-stage Sunmoons had gathered in the city. The attention of the myriad races was also focused on this place. This was the largest gathering of Sunmoons in over three hundred years. The experts of the various human prefectures had also arrived.

In short, the entire place was in a mess. Nobody knew how many Sunmoons would perish the moment a battle broke out.

***

Su Yu had arrived as well.

But this time, he did not actually enter the city proper. It was way too chaotic in there, with Great Xia trying to expel all those experts. In fact, things were looking very tense, with those from Great Xia putting forth an unyielding stance.

The likes of Marquis Xia, General Zhao, and Administrator Hu were all releasing their auras as an act of warning against all the uninvited visitors. Things weren't any less calm outside the city.

As Su Yu approached with a few late-stage Sunmoons, he heard someone shouting, "Marquis Xia, the Xia Family is a part of humanity, right? These young multiple character geniuses are also the hope of humanity. We're not even asking for much. We only hope to experience the leaked aura of the Culture Tomb and benefit slightly from it. Would you rather let the aura dissipate away than let your fellow humans benefit from it?"

Marquis Xia replied coldly, "Don't bother using that bullshit excuse on me. Geniuses? Hope of humanity? How ridiculous. Great Xia has plenty of geniuses. You don't deserve something just because you are a genius. Is Su Yu big enough of a genius? You all agree that he's a super genius, right? But what did he receive from us? When he was surrounded by the myriad races in the ancient city, how many human experts went to his rescue? Why weren't you there spouting your nonsense about hope of humanity?"

Marquis Xia sneered, "If you're really such a genius, fight for what you want. Great Xia's multiple character faction has fought in the battlefield for many years, sustaining disastrous losses. Where were you when they were bleeding and dying? Why hadn't any of you offered to help Hong Tan and the others advance because they were the hope of humanity? Where were you when Liu Wenyan was forced into exile?"

"Marquis, this is different." Someone argued, "Humanity has also sacrificed a lot to protect this line. Take Ye Batian's dao affirmation as an example. So many human Invincibles rendered help. You can't remember only your sufferings. You have to remember the kindness shown to you as well. The sufferings of Hong Tan and the others aren't even caused by us. It was Ye Batian. You can't push the blame on us."

Marquis Xia said, "True. Therefore, go and work hard for what you want. You won't be getting anything for free from us."

"Marquis, must you do this?" A Sunmoon protested, "These young geniuses..."

"Shut up!" Marquis Xia rolled his eyes, "I don't even know why you're calling these people geniuses repeatedly. Sure, go and kill a genius from the Heavenly Hunt Index. I will acknowledge their genius right after. Kill one index genius and I'll allow you entry. You must work for what you want. This is only fair, right?"

The moment those words were said, the surrounding myriad race geniuses sneered.

One of them said, "Marquis Xia is right. Come on. Let's have some fun. Step forth and challenge any of us you want. As long as you can kill someone in the same cultivation level, you will get what you want. Don't worry, we won't charge you for this. We'll become your sparring partners for free. Don't forget that it's not often we waste our time on pieces of trash."

The myriad race geniuses were finding this entire matter amusing. No proper genius was a coward. Those with their names on the Heavenly Hunt Index were all who had fought their way there with actual abilities.

Those on the index would only acknowledge the people on the index. All these people were there because of what they were capable of, not because of their luck. No index genius would fear battle as battle was how they got on the index.

Then again, they were still unsure about the strength of these so-called human geniuses. That was why they had limited the challenge to those in the same cultivation level. Most of the time, an index genius wouldn't even fear fighting those with a higher cultivation level.

***

Beyond the crowd, Su Yu smiled.

Marquis Xia was still as shrewd as ever.

He only required them to kill a myriad race genius to be permitted entry. As for whether they would gain something after entering, that had nothing to do with the marquis. If those from Great Xia's multiple character faction could benefit from the ruin while these geniuses couldn't, they could only blame themselves for their lack of talent.

After all, everyone could see how all the members of Great Xia's multiple character faction had advanced into the Sunmoon Realm, excluding the pitiful and weak Bai Feng.

***

The expressions of the human geniuses changed slightly upon hearing Marquis Xia's words.

At this moment, someone laughed and said, "Marquis, you can't allow only the multiple character faction to benefit from this, right? Us warriors can give this a try as well."

Marquis Xia glanced at the Qin Fang, who was mounted on his flying sky tiger and clad in his black armor before saying, "Qin Fang, I'll naturally allow you entry so long as you can return to the Heaven Index."

"..."

How hurtful.

Qin Fang laughed awkwardly and said, "Marquis, this isn't too fair. Dao Cheng has recently entered the Heaven Index. What can I do about that? Brother Dao Cheng is very strong. Yes, yes, he got his ass whopped by Su Yu and nearly died, but he is still a Mountainsea thanks to the valiant sacrifice of his teacher he killed with his own hands. How am I his match?"

Among the crowd, the immortals glared at him coldly. Dao Cheng was present as well, but he acted like he had heard nothing. He kept fiddling with a character in his hand. After glancing at Dao Cheng, Qin Fang smiled and said nothing else. Inwardly, he grew even more wary. Dao Cheng was way too patient and calm.

***

While the crowd was arguing with those from Great Xia, Su Yu did a quick headcount of his people before sending them a voice transmission, "Take note of those humans who had argued against the marquis and assassinate them. The Xia Family will take the blame for this. Be very careful lest you expose our presence here. This will create more internal chaos among the humans."

"You're wise, Lord."

They all agreed readily. They were very good at sowing chaos. It would seem like their lord was ready to do something big. That was the only possibility if they were already starting to assassinate human experts.

As for Su Yu, he remained completely indifferent. This was not something he should hesitate about. So what if he was ordering his fellow humans killed? He found them an eyesore. That was a good enough reason for them to die.

Even the myriad races had yet to do anything. Meanwhile, these fellow humans were the ones eager to create more trouble for Great Xia.

Very well, then. This gave him a good excuse to deal with them. He didn't even need to do anything himself. He only needed to order it done. To soothe the poor souls of his fellow humans who would die soon, he decided to kill all these index geniuses as well before the end of this incident.

After all, he was a very fair man.
