Tribulation of Myriad Races

Su Yu had entered the Skyrend Valley.

At the same time, inside the Devil Subduing Army’s base in the human territory.

Marquis Xia had arrived.

He had personally traveled to the Allheaven Battlefield. He did not arrive alone. He was there with several Sunmoons, including the matriarch of the Wu Family, Wu Lan’s great grandmother.

Marquis Xia had a cold expression. He was someone who would smile all the time. But this time, he could no longer smile. Huang Teng and Wu Qi were surrounded in the Plain of Desires. There was a possibility that they might both perish there.

Great Xia had invested a lot in Huang Teng. Resources and money weren’t the most important. More importantly, they had been training him as the future leader of the Devil Subduing Army. The Xia Family was even considering making him the future leader of the Martial Dragon Guard.

Thus, the Xia Family couldn’t stay idle when he was in danger. Even with so many troubles in Great Xia with the opening of the Multiple Character Faculty, Marquis Xia was forced to head to the Allheaven Battlefield personally.

Great Xia had been left in the hands of Administrator Hu, General Zhao, Xia Xinyi, who was Marquis Xia’s son, and Xia Huyou. During moments like this, the disadvantage of not having a large family became clear.

The Xia Family only had several dependable experts in the main family. As for Xia Changqing, who was serving as a vice principal in the Great Xia Cultural Research Academy, and Xia Yuwen, who descended from Xia Changqing’s branch, were both powerful experts as well. But Marquis Xia could not fully trust them.

With a gloomy expression, Marquis Xia said, “What’s the current status? Do we have any news about Huang Teng?”

The general of Devil Subduing Army sighed and said, “Yes. He’s trapped in the Skyrend Valley.”

“Skyrend Valley?”

Marquis Xia was slightly relieved to hear that. That was a decent hiding place.

“His cultivation of the Sky Sundering Saber is pretty good. He will be much stronger in the Skyrend Valley. And if he manages to comprehend the saber qi there, he might even be able to borrow the might of my old man’s saber qi. That will be good for his growth.”

But he still couldn’t resist scolding, “That damn fool. Why did he run westward instead of eastward? Beyond the Skyrend Valley, there are numerous demonic beasts, including some powerful divines and devils. There are also several ancient cities there. Nobody knows just how many experts are hidden in those cities. And nobody knows just how many realms those cities are connected to. What was that fool thinking?”

Wu Yuehua’s mother coldly said, “Marquis, why don’t you be straightforward and say what you really think. You think that our Wu Qi was the one bringing all these troubles upon Huang Teng, right?”

“Old Madam, you misunderstand me.” Marquis Xia smiled bitterly and said, “I didn’t mean that at all. That fellow has always been too stubborn and reckless. This situation is very troublesome. You know how things are at the Plain of Desires. As long as you have a desire, you can be easily affected by the Plain of Desires. And the stronger you are, the easier it is for you to encounter danger there. We can send help, but if we send Sunmoons, it is very likely that those Sunmoons will lose their way during the journey…”

Yes. They might lose their way. A Sunmoon could be traveling in a straight line before suddenly returning to the Eastrift Valley again without even knowing how it happened. Or they might find themselves arriving near one of those ancient cities or encountering some hostile experts.

In short, the stronger one was, the more likely it would be for one to encounter accidents there. That was why so many young geniuses loved that place. There, they did not have to worry about being bullied by some enemy experts of the senior generation.

In fact, this effect existed in the entirety of the Allheaven Battlefield. It was merely more pronounced at the Plain of Desires. Of course, an Invincible could reduce such bad luck by a large amount.

Suddenly, a soldier rushed inside the room and reported, “Marquis, Lords, the latest update from the Plain of Desires has arrived.”

“Say it.” Marquis Xia ordered hastily.

“General Huang Teng and Researcher Wu Qi are both trapped in the Skyrend Valley. Tianduo, the genius original devil is planning to hunt them down with a large number of devil experts. Not long ago, something unforeseen happened.

“Cui Lang of Great Ming suddenly appeared and killed Red Armor of the mystic armor race in front of the myriad race geniuses. Prior to that, he had also killed Green Armor. The only two geniuses of the mystic armor race in the Heavenly Hunt Index have been killed by him. Cui Lang is now ranked 18th in the Profound Index. He has also been forced to enter the Skyrend Valley. Marquis, do we contact Great Ming and mount a rescue operation together?”

“…”

Marquis Xia was stunned. Cui Lang? No, that was Su Yu.

Holy shit!

That damn brat sure was an expert in stirring trouble. How many days had it been since he entered that place? Why did he kill the two geniuses of the mystic armor race right after arriving? As the acting leader of the Xia Family, he knew a lot about the myriad races. The two geniuses of the mystic armor race were strong enough to kill those above their level. Those were definitely not weaklings.

Just the fact that they could enter the Heavenly Hunt Index was enough to prove their strength. Even Green Armor, the weaker of the two, was strong enough to easily deal with regular ninth-stage Cloudbreaches. As for Red Armor, he could probably face even the Mountainseas of the weaker races.

How did Su Yu accomplish that? That kid…holy shit. What a terrifying kid. How old was that kid? He was only nineteen!

Marquis Xia asked, “Cui Lang has entered the Skyrend Valley as well?”

“Yes.”

Cui Lang had entered!

Su Yu had entered!

Marquis Xia’s emotions turned complicated. Was he there to save Huang Teng and Wu Qi? To speak the truth, even if they sent help, it was the Plain of Desires. Unless Great Xia King or Xia Longwu went there, others would not be able to escape the effects of that place.

If one was unlucky enough, one could casually step on something and end up teleported to the Heavendoom City or some other place. But this would not happen to those young geniuses.

“Su Yu is there.”

Marquis Xia didn’t know what to say. That kid sure was good at stirring trouble. He was still so weak… Fine, fine. He wasn’t weak at all.

Marquis Xia himself wasn’t even a Skysoar at nineteen. Meanwhile, the kid had already reached the 18th place in the Profound Index. If it wasn’t for the fact that the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion got his identity and age wrong, Su Yu could even enter the Earth Index.

And if he managed to kill a Mountainsea, he was guaranteed to end up in the Heaven Index because he was still very young. He was a lot younger than Huang Teng and the others.

The Old Madam of Wu Family muttered doubtfully, “Cui Lang of Great Ming? Why is he there? Is he there to help them or throw his life away?”

Since when were the people of Great Ming so courageous?

The soldier making the report shook his head and said, “I’m unsure about that. We’re still trying to find out more. Deputy General Chen Long is already heading there with a group of soldiers. He is quite strong and not too old. He should be able to reach the Skyrend Valley smoothly.”

That was true. Chen Long was still quite young. The journey there would be much smoother for the team with him leading the way. If the person leading the team was too old, they could potentially lead the entire team to their doom.

“Chen Long?”

Marquis Xia thought about it and said, “He’s still quite weak. Don’t overestimate him just because he’s a Mountainsea. The Plain of Desires is currently filled with geniuses. Some of the stronger Cloudbreaches might even be stronger than Chen Long. He’s only a fresh Mountainsea.”

He suddenly recalled something else and said, “That Chen Long…seems to be a friend of Su Yu’s father, right?”

The general from the Devil Subduing Army who had been keeping silent said, “He used to be Su Long’s subordinate. Back then, Su Long retired and was replaced by Chen Long. Subsequently, he slowly climbed up the ranks until his current position as the deputy general of the second legion. The second legion is about to undergo reorganization. I’m planning to promote him to the general of the second legion.”

He hesitated for a bit and said, “Marquis Xia, Su Yu might have left Great Xia, but Su Long is still serving in the army. Chen Long has fought for humanity for many years. I hope you won’t stop his promotion just because of what Su Yu did.”

“…”

Marquis Xia was speechless. When did he say that he was going to stop the promotion? Those damn bastards had been getting used to making him the villain! When did he mention that he would block the promotion just because that fellow used to be the subordinate of Su Long?

“Cut the crap!” Marquis Xia snorted and said, “Mountainseas are not strong enough to handle those geniuses while Sunmoons might encounter accidents there…”

He turned to look at one of the people in the room and said, “Old Zheng. You’ll go as well.”

Zheng Ping. He was the principal of Great Xia War Academy and Wan Tiansheng’s old rival. He had only entered the Sunmoon not long ago. He looked old, but comparatively, he was actually quite young. In fact, that was the case for all the experts in Great Xia. Zheng Ping was only slightly above seventy in age, and for Sunmoons, that could be considered young.

Hearing that, Zheng Ping smiled and said, “Sure. I’ll go. Marquis, looks like you still have to rely on us warriors when it matters. Those cultural researchers are useless. Remember to allocate more funds to the war academy in the future, Marquis.”

Marquis Xia rolled his eyes and said, “I’m telling you to go save them, not go and throw your life away.”

The general from the Devil Subduing Army said, “Marquis, do we really need a Sunmoon to go?”

“Yes.” Marquis Xia’s expression turned gloomy as he said, “That might not be the case before, but things have changed. Even a Sunmoon might not be enough. What a pity that those who are too strong can easily encounter accidents there. Just be careful. Huang Teng was supposed to have a thirty percent chance of surviving, but now…that has reduced to less than ten percent.”
