Tribulation of Myriad Races

Chapter 1107: I’m Billing You (2)

About fifteen minutes later.

In front of Su Yu’s house.

The entire apartment block had been emptied.

Too many experts had been trying to enter this place. Those with strong backgrounds would do it forcefully while those without would do it sneakily. Because of that, several fights nearly broke out.

One time, two groups of sneaking experts encountered each other by accident and started fighting because both parties thought they were under attack. The entire building was nearly demolished by their fight. Fortunately, they held back since this was still Great Xia’s territory. Ultimately, several civilians were injured but nobody was killed.

Even so, this place was no longer a good place to stay. Even Mountainseas and Sunmoons were starting to visit this place. Even a small fight between these experts could easily kill all the residents in the building.

Thus, the building was eventually emptied. The people in the neighborhood had also moved away with Great Xia’s assistance. Thus, the empty neighborhood looked rather desolate.

In the past, one would be able to see some old people and children enjoying their time in the neighborhood park. But now, a sight like that could no longer be seen. The entire neighborhood had been abandoned. Only a bunch of dilapidated buildings were left behind.

Su Yu remained silent. This house was as good as gone. Even if his old man returned, he couldn’t stay here anymore. In fact, the apartment block was actually slightly inclined to one side.

That was most probably caused by the fights between these experts. Just the fact that the building was still standing was already a testament to its durability. Numerous random items were strewn all over the ground. These were probably the things left behind when the residents were moving away.

When the Martial Dragon Guard soldiers guarding the place saw Su Yu, a Cloudbreach coldly asked, “Are you entering? Be aware that you will need to bear the risk and potential consequences alone if you enter. A lot of people have been doing this. This building is cursed. Dozens of people have died after entering it. Are you sure you’re entering?”

“Hmm?”

Su Yu was feeling doubtful. Was this guy telling the truth? He only killed two back then. How did that number increase to dozens of deaths?

He looked at Old Qi questioningly. Old Qi nodded, “This is true. Something is off about this place. Of course, some people claim that Chen Yong is the culprit and this is no curse. Brother Bai, if we really encounter that man, he will probably spare you. But I’m not sure that applies to me. Maybe I should wait out here instead.”

“Who?”

Old Qi explained, “Chen Yong. You know that name, right? During the previous trial, he was ordered to return within six months to explain himself. Four months have passed since then. If he remains in hiding for two more months, he will be declared traitor…”

“According to the rumors, he was the one who had killed all the people who had died recently.”

His martial uncle had been killing again?

Su Yu hadn’t been paying much attention to the Human Realm while he was away. But it was fine since Bai Junsheng wasn’t the type to care about these matters either. He nodded and said, “That guy can be considered my senior brother as well. Who says he’s a traitor? If he’s really the killer, those people probably deserve death. This is the private property of the Bai and Chen Families. It is perfectly within our rights to kill those thieves.”

He spoke with complete confidence. That was his senior brother! Old Qi had the urge to remind Bai Junsheng that he wasn’t Bai Feng. He was Bai Junsheng. Why was this guy so shameless?

The guards looked surprised as well.

“You’re someone from Bai Family?”

“Yes.”

“That useless cousin of Researcher Bai? One of the nonsensical Eight Eminents of Tiandu, Bai Junsheng?”

“…”

Su Yu had an ugly expression as he replied, “Is this how everyone in the Martial Dragon Guard speaks nowadays? Be careful! I’ll tell my cousin to teach you guys a lesson! My cousin is very close to the Xia Family. My half-student, Su Yu, is a brother of Prince Xia Huyou!”

The guards were rendered speechless. After a momentary silence, the Cloudbreach said, “Alright. You may enter. Be careful. I’m serious. A lot of people have died after visiting this place. We don’t think that Elder Chen did this. Stop spreading those baseless rumors. That might give others an excuse to do even more. That’s especially true for you, Bai Junsheng! Watch your mouth when you’re outside.”

Elder Chen was someone from Great Xia. They considered him one of them. As for Bai Junsheng, well, he could perhaps be considered half an insider. It was understandable for others to run around spreading these baseless rumors. But a member of Bai Family shouldn’t be doing so as well.

In truth, even the Martial Dragon Guard believed that Chen Yong was likely the culprit. Things had been chaotic in the Human Realm as of late and a lot of people had died. And according to the investigations performed, many of these people were enemies of the multiple character faction.

Su Yu nonchalantly replied, “Yeah, yeah, I know. Why would I do something that would trouble my cousin and senior brother?”

The guards wanted to tell him that he had done so right after stepping into the city. That was the first thing he did. They were feeling very helpless. Since this was a Bai, it was inappropriate for them to use any force on him. Otherwise, they would have slapped him awake.

Su Yu wasted no time and entered the building alone.

***

The door to his house had already broken down.

The entire place was dirty and messy. Moss was starting to grow here and there.

The couch had broken down as well. There were holes on the tables, while the beds had been turned over. The pots in the kitchen were thrown all over, accompanying the broken plates and chopsticks on the floor. This was the current condition of Su Yu’s house.

During his previous visit, things weren’t even that bad yet. Only a few months had passed but things had gotten much worse. The windows had all shattered as well.

But this time, Su Yu was much calmer than before. So be it. He had accepted that he could no longer return to the home he remembered in his mind. The home in his memories had disappeared alongside his youthfulness.

With his youthfulness gone, he was no longer the hot-blooded youth with delusions about the way the world worked. After looking around, he smiled. Where was the ruin? There was no ruin. This was his home. Who could know this place better than him?

But suddenly, a bizarre look appeared on his face. The death qi in his body had pulsed slightly. It was only a weak pulse. He wouldn’t have been able to sense it if it hadn’t happened inside his body.

He focused and scanned the place again. Suddenly, his eyes flickered. Heavenly source qi? Weird. Why was he sensing some heavenly source qi here? It was a weak trace of heavenly source qi.

Most people wouldn’t be able to notice it. Even with how sensitive Su Yu’s senses were, he had also failed to notice it before his death qi reacted.

“Heavenly source qi…”

Previously, he had given Marquis Xia an idea. To make a fake ruin, heavenly source qi was naturally the best material. Were they…starting the plan? Had this place been turned into a fake ruin? In that case, the great chaos of Great Xia would arrive soon.

He continued studying the place expressionlessly. If not even he could sense the heavenly source qi, regular Sunmoons wouldn’t be able to either. Perhaps peak Sunmoons could. Even relying on his death qi, he could only verify the existence of heavenly source qi somewhere nearby. He couldn’t even detect the exact location of the so-called fake ruin they had planted here.

“Interesting.”

With a laugh, Su Yu left.

Downstairs, Old Qi shouted, “Did you find anything?”

Su Yu smiled, “Of course. This place is the entrance to the ruin. Su Yu told my cousin before and my cousin told me that.”

The Cloudbreach from the Martial Dragon Guard coldly said, “Bai Junsheng, stop uttering nonsense.”

A lot of people were paying attention to this place.

Su Yu argued, “Who’s uttering nonsense? Su Yu told my cousin himself. If you refuse to believe me, so be it. He said that the ruin entrance is right inside his home. It’s a powerful ruin with a large amount of heavenly source qi and countless treasures…”

“Hmph!”

The Cloudbreach snorted. This guy from the Bai Family was too annoying.

A different person nearby laughed and asked, “Brother Bai, are you being serious?”

Su Yu looked over and noted a group of youngsters walking over. There was actually a familiar face in the group. The person he encountered during his previous return, Zhou Hongbo of Knowledge Seeking Academy, was among them.

So he was still alive?

Su Yu had been wanting to kill this guy since their first meeting. But he wasn’t able to find a chance to do so. Eventually, he had completely forgotten about this person. But now, fate had brought them together again!

From how Zhou Hongbo was behaving, it was clear he wasn’t even the person with the highest status in the group.

When Old Qi saw them, he pulled Su Yu’s sleeve and sent a voice transmission, “Watch what you say to them. These are all the descendants of big shots and top geniuses of different prefectures.”

A curious look appeared on Su Yu’s face. He looked at them and snorted, “Why do you care? So what if I want to brag?”

“Bai Junsheng, watch your manners.” A different person berated coldly, “Do you know who you’re speaking to?”

Su Yu sneered, “And what are you going to do about it? Beat me to death? As far as I know, in the entire Human Realm, our Great Ming King is the only Invincible present. Why don’t you try provoking us? I dare you. The people of Great Ming do not like causing trouble, but we’re not afraid of trouble! We of Bai Family have served Great Ming for generations! I’m so tight with Zhu Hongliang we share our underpants! Even after beating Zhu Hongliang up, I only need to visit the mayor’s residence and greet my Grandpa Zhu and the prefect will let me off. Are you saying that I should be afraid of you?”

The moment those words were said, the expressions of those people changed.

Fuck!

Why was everyone from Great Ming like this? They were shameless, and their mouths were incredibly venomous. More importantly, they were fearless. They could provoke you, but if you beat them up, they would go crying at their seniors.

And Great Ming King was indeed the Invincible in charge of watching over the Human Realm at the moment. Would Great Ming King act for Bai Junsheng? A regular Invincible would definitely not do something like that. But Great Ming King…was too unpredictable.

At that thought, the group felt completely disgusted and annoyed. This was not how one should act! How lucky were they that Great Ming King wasn’t the actual grandfather of this fellow. Otherwise, wouldn’t he start acting like the others in the Zhu Family, crying to Great Ming King every time he encountered even the tiniest of problems?

A smug expression covered Su Yu’s face as he said, “Don’t try to scare me with Invincibles or Sunmoons. I’m not afraid! I’ll have you know that I have a trump card. I—”

Seemingly having recalled something, he stopped and coughed instead. Then, he hurriedly dragged Old Qi off.

The others stood there confused. What?

What was the trump card?
