Tribulation of Myriad Races

Chapter 1106: I’m Billing You (1)

Nanyuan.

As Su Yu stepped into Nanyuan, he saw some weak city guards and Martial Dragon Guard members watching over the gate. Even the strongest among them was only a Cloudbreach.

These people were much stronger than the previous guards who were mostly Great Strength and Infinite Strength cultivators. But for Su Yu who had witnessed the battles between Invincibles and killed Sunmoons before, these Skysoars and Cloudbreaches really looked too weak to him.

The people from the Martial Dragon Guard looked at him with unfriendly gazes. A Skysoar coldly ordered, “Register yourself. Which prefecture are you from?”

As the members of an elite army of Great Xia, they had to watch as the people from the various prefectures and factions entered and searched Nanyuan, making a mess out of Nanyuan. Thus, they had been extremely furious about this. Their attitude was understandable.

“Great Ming. Bai Junsheng.”

“…”

The guards’ expressions changed. They were not showing fear or disgust. Rather, they looked rather relieved, with a slight trace of complicated emotions.

“Great Ming? Fine. Go on in. Just don’t create trouble. Don’t mix with those from the other powers. Bai Junsheng…a member of Bai Family?”

The Skysoar nodded and continued after a slight pause, “Since you’re from Great Ming, don’t waste your time getting involved in this mess as well. Even if you’re inside the city, things might get dangerous. Do you understand?”

Inwardly, the guard was quite relieved to hear that the newcomer was from Great Ming. He had been worried for nothing.

This would be fine. Great Ming was filled with slackers. Previously, someone called Cui Lang, who was absolutely not a slacker, had emerged from Great Ming. But eventually, words spread that it was simply Su Yu in disguise. But that was someone born in Great Xia. It wasn’t surprising for him to not be a slacker.

In conclusion, people from Great Ming weren’t troublemakers. If someone from Great Ming was creating trouble, that would either be an accident or Su Yu in disguise. But since Su Yu was not in the Human Realm anymore, Great Ming had turned into a proper prefecture of slackers yet again.

Su Yu could feel how these people were taking him lightly! He could see the relief in their eyes! What was going on? Just a moment ago, they still looked like they were ready to fight him to the death. But suddenly, they were advising him to be careful and reminding him to watch out for the troublemakers in the city.

Were they looking down on Bai Junsheng or were they looking down on Great Ming? They must not be aware that an Invincible of Great Ming was right in the area!

Su Yu didn’t even have anything to say. Great Ming sure had a terrible reputation.

Noticing Su Yu blanking out, the guard rolled his eyes and said, “Go on in. Why are you still standing here? If you’re really from Bai Family, just leave as soon as possible. Don’t cause trouble for Researcher Bai of Multiple Character Faculty.”

***

Su Yu entered the city speechlessly.

He felt quite helpless. He would look much cooler if they treated him fiercely, but now that they were treating him like a naughty child, it felt rather embarrassing.

Right after he walked into the city, someone on the street called out, “Brother Bai, you’re here as well? Didn’t you say that you’re not coming?”

Su Yu looked up and nonchalantly said, “Old Qi? You’re here as well? I’m here for a casual walk. Why are you here?”

“What are you saying, Brother Bai? I came some time ago. In fact, I asked you to join but you refused. You claimed that you wouldn’t take a single step into Great Xia before growing strong enough to defeat Bai Feng…”

Su Yu actually knew this Old Qi. This was someone from Great Ming’s weaponsmithing faction, the same faction Bai Junsheng and Cui Lang came from.

Su Yu didn’t know what Bai Junsheng had been up to recently. But it didn’t matter. He easily made up a story, “My second uncle told me to come visit my cousin, telling him to not forget our Bai Family when there are benefits to be shared…”

Old Qi laughed. He wasn’t even surprised to see Bai Junsheng’s mannerisms when speaking. Because this was how Bai Juinsheng had always been.

After looking around, Old Qi lowered his voice, “Brother Bai, keep a low profile. A lot of eyes are on Researcher Bai nowadays. Be careful lest you catch unwanted attention as well.”

Su Yu appeared indifferent. Instead, he raised his voice, “I’m Bai Junsheng, one of Great Ming’s Eight Eminents. I’m on my way to visit my cousin, Bai Feng. Is anyone interested in kidnapping or killing me on the way? I’ll be looking forward to it!”

“…”

Nanyuan wasn’t big. And Bai Junsheng was a Skysoar. That roar of his was able to spread all over Nanyuan. Low profile? That wasn’t his style. And it wasn’t like it would work.

In that case, he might as well be more conspicuous. The true experts would merely view it as the antics of a naughty kid while the ones truly harboring evil designs might really go after him because of this.

Bai Junsheng, cousin of Bai Feng.

Bai Feng now held a high status in the Multiple Character Faculty, second only to Hong Tan. He was also Su Yu’s teacher. Thus, a lot of people had been keeping an eye on him.

Su Yu had returned to cause trouble. Not to hide around. And nothing was better for troublemaking than getting connected to the multiple character faction. He had grown a lot more brazen nowadays. Firstly, because he had grown stronger.

Secondly, because Great Ming King was nearby. Thirdly, a majority of human Invincibles were still in the Allheaven Battlefield. Almost nobody knew he was back. Fourthly, according to his understanding of Marquis Xia and Xia Huyou, these people were also planning to cause trouble.

In fact, they were even prepared to risk Great Xia’s destruction during their troublemaking. Everything they had done recently was for that purpose, including reopening the Multiple Character Faculty and the spread of the disassembly method.

As far as Su Yu could see, everything was one big prelude to big trouble. In that case, it wouldn’t matter if he joined in as well. After seeing and experiencing more, he was able to better guess Xia Family’s thoughts and plan. He also understood Hong Tan and the others more.

Revenge.

Yes. Revenge was their ultimate goal.

Su Yu was not the only person who had been wanting to do something. The entire multiple character faction under Ye Batian’s line was in the process of revenge. In that case, he had to lend them a hand and cause some trouble as well.

With his shout, a large number of people arrived nearby. Meanwhile, Old Qi was looking quite speechless. He hurriedly said, “This is a misunderstanding. Don’t take him seriously. Bai Feng has long severed his relationship with the Bai Family. Not long ago, Brother Bai visited Great Xia and was kicked off by Bai Feng. They’re not that close…”

He also sent Su Yu a voice transmission, “Brother Bai, stop messing around. This could really get dangerous!”

However, Su Yu appeared unfazed. He scanned the crowd with a cocky appearance and snorted, “I’m Bai Junsheng. A member of Great Ming’s Bai Family. I’m going to head to Great Xia’s capital soon. Also, that ruin belongs to Su Yu. That’s a student of my cousin. He’s practically half my student. If anyone found this ruin, it belongs to the Bai Family. I’m warning all of you here. Stop trying to steal from the Bai Family.”

“Idiot.”

“Heh.”

Some cursed at him, while some sneered with contempt.

Bai Family? Was that supposed to be scary? What a joke.

The two youngsters of the family were mere Cloudbreaches. The grandpa was only a Mountainsea. And that Mountainsea had been in seclusion for many years. The ruin was Bai Family’s?

How greedy.

How confident.

Not even Bai Feng would have the courage to make that claim. Not even Great Xia’s Xia Family dared to say something like that. Where did this dumb youngster come from? Was Bai Feng’s cousin really so dumb?

Great Ming’s Eight Eminents?

More like Eight Dumbos.

Everyone knew that the so-called Eight Eminents were all clowns. Just look at the names in that list. Bai Junsheng, Zhu Hongliang…merely a bunch of pampered scions from influential families.

Yes, such silkpants could be found everywhere. But the silkpants of Great Ming occupied the very bottom of the pyramid. Everyone looked down on them.

Su Yu snorted with dissatisfaction. He scanned the crowd, and his face fell when he noted some non-humans. He coldly said, “So what if I claim that the ruin belongs to my family? Also, how useless are you people? Outsiders are here openly trying to steal from humanity, but none of you have the courage to do anything to them. If my cousin were here, he would have killed them with a single swing of his sword…”

Someone rolled his eyes and said, “Bai Junsheng, these are all the exchange students in Great Xia Cultural Research Academy. Some are even in your cousin’s faculty. Why are they still alive?”

This fellow should stop boasting. As for the non-humans, some sneered, some looked disdainful, and some were releasing their killing intent.

A lot of people started stealthily asking about Bai Junsheng. Before long, they all knew who he was. Bai Feng’s cousin. This was the real deal. The Bai Family was nothing special, but with its relationship with Bai Feng, it was not an ordinary family either.

While the crowd was sneering, Su Yu was also sneering.

In his eyes, these people were already dead.

In terms of causing trouble, who could be better than him? He was Su Yu!

Just wait.

Of course, he also needed to stop before going too far. This was probably enough to attract some fools his way. Then, he could lure the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion members over as well. Making use of his identity as Profound Nine, he could then do something to stir more trouble.

Should Bai Junsheng be Profound Nine’s first customer?

Su Yu sank into thought. Yes, he could issue himself an index copy and post a mission through Bai Junsheng’s identity. Then, Heavenly Hunt Pavilion would appear and start stirring trouble in Great Xia.

That way, even if everyone knew the trouble was related to Bai Junsheng, most gazes would land on Heavenly Hunt Pavilion. To develop a new market, Heavenly Hunt Pavilion naturally needed to market its reputation.

Since all the other Heavenly Hunt Pavilion members were still laying low, he could use this chance to stir some shit in Great Xia and become the de-facto representative of Heavenly Hunt Pavilion in Human Realm.

In any case, Great Xia’s capital was a place he had to go. He wanted to see Bai Feng and Hong Tan. He needed to find out what exactly they were trying to do. That way, he would be able to better plan his own actions.

He was probably better for this job than Hong Tan, right? His grandteacher really wasn’t that strong. That old man should stop trying to bite off more than he could chew.

***

With Su Yu’s declaration, everyone in Nanyuan learned that someone from Great Ming’s Bai Family had arrived. To be precise, that was a clueless yet arrogant kid from Great Ming. They found his words laughable.

The ruin belonged to his family? Nanyuan ruin was his family’s?

How ridiculous.

Su Yu ignored all of them and wrapped his arm around Old Qi’s shoulders, “Let’s go. We’ll visit Su Yu’s place. I heard the ruin is right in front of his house. Naturally, I need to pay a visit to my family’s ruin.”

Old Qi said, “Brother Bai, you…you…sigh.”

He didn’t know what to say.

Su Yu nonchalantly said, “What? Is Su Yu not my cousin’s student? I heard he’s going to die in the Allheaven Battlefield. He can’t come back anymore. The Bai Family will naturally inherit his property in the Human Realm. Is that wrong?”

Old Qi thought about it. Going by that logic, yes, that was indeed not wrong.

Of course, the first in line for the inheritance would naturally be Su Long. Su Yu’s teacher would be the second in line. Su Yu had no other known relatives. And since Su Long was still in the Allheaven Battlefield, it was actually not that easy to argue against Bai Junsheng’s claim.

Then again, nobody took his claim seriously. Would the ruin be his just because he made a claim? Even if Su Yu himself was here, nobody would acknowledge that it was his.
