Tribulation of Myriad Races

Su Yu cursed and said, “Fine. Tell me about his schedule and the guards protecting him.”

“Sure.”

Soon, Xia Huyou sent the information about Xia Xinyi’s schedule in the near future and the details of his protection. Even the weaknesses of those guards were listed in detail, as though he was afraid that Su Yu wouldn’t be able to blast his uncle apart.

What an unfilial nephew!

It was fine if nobody knew Profound Nine was Su Yu. But the ones aware of that would probably think that he had gone crazy after learning about it. After all, Xia Xinyi was Xia Longwu’s cousin.

Due to the relatively small size of the Xia Family, their members were actually quite close to each other. And Marquis Xia was also quite close to Xia Longwu. Thus, blasting Xia Xinyi apart might even anger the Xia Family more than blasting Xia Huyou apart.

At that thought, Su Yu sent First Profound a message, “Elder, I’m going to take revenge against the Xia Family and the traitor! The world will suffer my wrath! Elder, pass my message to the higher-ups in the pavilion. One day, the traitor will pay the price of betrayal!”

“…”

First Profound was completely dumbstruck. He even wondered if Profound Nine had been killed and replaced by someone else.

Was that little bastard not tired of acting all the time?

“Who are you taking your revenge on?”

“I’ll kill Xia Huyou!”

“I—”

First Profound had the urge to curse at someone. What nonsense. He would not believe that. Did Su Yu think that he was dumb?

“Are you serious?”

“It doesn’t matter. Just pass my message to the higher-ups. I’m going to take my revenge! Profound Nine is crazy!”

Suddenly, Su Yu paused momentarily before asking, “Elder, whose side are you on? Are you from a minor race enjoying the show as a bystander or are you siding with us humans?”

These were the only two possibilities. If it was the former, it was understandable that he would only watch as the world burned as it did not concern him. If it was the latter, this elder was probably related to Great Xia or some other human experts. This was why he had not betrayed Su Yu thus far.

After a long while, First Profound replied, “Actually, I’m your long-lost grandpa. You know nothing about your grandpa, right? I’m actually your grandpa. Not long after your father was born, I left and joined the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion under Great Xia King’s order.”

“…”

Screw this nonsense!

“If you’re a human, don’t the head of the Profound Department know about it?”

“He only knows my fake identity.”

“Heh.”

“I’m being serious. My name is Su Nansheng. Nan for Nanyuan and Sheng for born. I’m not lying. Since you’re asking, I’ve decided to come clean. Grandson, greet your grandpa. Grandpa is very proud of you.”

“…”

Su Yu cursed inwardly. This damn geezer was messing with him. He would not forget this! He ended the conversation while still cursing the elder inwardly.

Damn that elder!

He swore to snitch the elder’s whereabouts to Zhu Tiandao or Great Ming King the moment he found out about it. Damn that old bastard!

***

Su Yu decided to give First Profound the silent treatment.

At the same time. Near Great Tang.

First Profound, who was hiding in the void, laughed in amusement. Before long, he contacted the enforcer elder.

“Eighth Elder, Profound Nine claims that someone betrayed him. He won’t let this slide. Since the Xia Family has killed his subordinates, he will take his revenge against them. When he’s done with the Xia Family, he wishes to have an open debate against Yellow Nine as he suspects Yellow Nine to be the traitor.”

After a short silence, the enforcer elder replied, “What is your opinion? Both Profound Nine and Yellow Nine are refusing contact with us. Do you think they are suspicious? Or do you think one of them is suspicious? You’re Profound Nine’s direct superior so you know his actual identity. Is he trustworthy?”

“That’s hard to say. According to our rules, I can’t reveal anything about his identity. But from what I know, he has no reason to betray us. But I can’t guarantee anything.”

“Fine. We’ll wait and see. So he wants to take revenge against the Xia Family? They are currently on high alert as well. The entire Great Xia has been turned into an inescapable net. If he’s a traitor and this is merely an act, it’s pointless. In fact, it’s stupid.”

As far as the enforcer elder was concerned, if Profound Nine was trying to kill some nobodies to remove any suspicion from himself, it was pointless. That would be too obvious.

“I’m not sure…We’ll see. If Profound Nine is really suspicious, you can deal with him as you see fit, Eighth Elder.”

“Sure. By the way, the two chambers have been paying attention to this as well so some of them probably know the whole story. They have also submitted their conclusion to me. I’ll handle this appropriately.”

“Do as you see fit, Eighth Elder. I’m not in the position to say too much about this.”

“Sure.”

With that, the conversation ended.

***

As for Su Yu, he was busy preparing for his revenge. Revenge was not something one should wait before doing. Since he was going to act out a play, he had to make his act believable.

Once again, he sneaked into the capital. With that, Bai Junsheng reappeared in the capital. With Bai Feng’s covering for him, Su Yu had nothing to worry about. According to what he knew, Xia Xinyu would visit the Xia Trade Company today. Naturally, that would happen inside the city.

As Xia Xinyi was also a major member of the Xia Family, he naturally wouldn’t leave the city when Great Xia was in chaos. This was only a regular work visit to a branch in the city.

The capital had always been a safe place. Even the death of the commander not long ago was considered an exception. Since Profound Nine was currently a wanted individual in Great Xia, it was unlikely that he would return to the capital anytime soon.

Thanks to Xia Huyou, Su Yu knew everything about Xia Xinyi’s security details and route of travel. Xia Xinyi himself was only a fresh Mountainsea, so he wasn’t that strong. He was protected by two guards. Both were peak Mountainseas. Inside the capital, this was actually more than enough.

After all, this was the core of Xia Family’s territory. It was filled with countless experts. Who would dare to try anything there? Furthermore, he had always been secretive with his schedule. A regular person would not be able to get their hands on his itinerary. In fact, not even his daughter would be informed of his plans.

“Blasting Xia Xinyi apart…two peak Mountainseas.”

Su Yu knew that this wouldn’t be an easy task. He had to be fast about it. Very fast. Super fast.

He had to finish it with one hit. Blasting Xia Xinyi apart with one hit before fleeing. Then, he would transform back into Bai Junsheng and hide in the academy. He would only be safe after returning to the academy.

Su Yu decided to completely forget about that old bastard in the Heart Cultivating Pavilion. He had nearly died because of that old bastard. After the completion of this plan, Profound Nine’s name would probably spread even in the Allheaven Battlefield.

Heavenly Hunt Pavilion’s Profound Nine, an incredible lunatic.

A madman who would not let any grievance unanswered.

Right after suffering a loss from the Xia Family, he went and blasted a major member of that family apart. What else would someone like that be if not a madman? Furthermore, he had done it in the core of Xia Family’s territory. That was a resounding slap across the Xia Family’s face. That was a transgression the Xia Family would never forgive.

Suddenly, Su Yu noticed something and walked out of his residence. A few individuals were also walking out of the opposite building. When they saw Su Yu, one of them laughed, “Brother Bai, are you going somewhere?”

Su Yu spoke in a carefree manner, “Yeah. I’m taking a stroll. It’s too boring here. Where are you going?”

“We’re going outside the academy to shop around.”

“Things are getting dangerous recently with the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion members killing people everywhere. My cousin has forbidden me from leaving the academy. How annoying. It’s so boring staying in here all the time.”

“Have you not heard, Brother Bai? The Heavenly Hunt Pavilion is no longer an issue. Not long ago, they suffered grievously in the hands of Administrator Hu. They lost two Sunmoons and two peak Mountainseas. Even a late-stage Sunmoon elder of theirs was forced to flee while coughing blood.”

“Are you sure?” Su Yu exclaimed in surprise, “So is Yellow Nine dead? That was the person I hired to protect me previously. He’s actually quite strong. He killed several Mountainseas while protecting me…”

They had also heard the story of Bai Junsheng’s journey to the capital. Thus, one of them said, “By the way, all index copy holders need to declare it to the Martial Dragon Guard. You better do it early lest the Martial Dragon Guard decides to target you.”

“I’ll be fine. My cousin is Bai Feng. Faculty Head Hong is also very nice to me. How will the Martial Dragon Guard do anything to me?”

“You never know. Most of the current index copy holders in Great Xia are big shots. You should be careful or even Faculty Head Hong might fail to protect you.”

“Are you sure?”

“Of course. I suggest you declare your possession immediately.”

Su Yu frowned and thought about it before saying, “In that case…maybe I should go now? Martial Dragon Guard? Where should I go?”

“Just come with us. We’ll be passing by that place anyway.”

“Alright. Thanks, guys.”

“…”

And thus, Su Yu joined the group and left the academy. He would take this chance to declare his possession of an index copy and blast Xia Xinyu apart while he was at it.

Meanwhile, Xia Xinyi was still completely clueless about what was going to happen.

He had just left the prefect’s residence while keeping a low profile. Things had been chaotic lately so it wouldn’t be wise to attract too much attention. For some reason, his father had been traveling very slowly, as though he was completely unconcerned with everything that was happening in Great Xia. Administrator Hu had been driven crazy by the stress.

Xia Xinyi mumbled inwardly that if his father took even longer to return, Great Xia might sink into an even bigger chaos.

Whatever. That was out of his control. He was only in charge of watching over the Xia Trade Company. A new batch of products had just arrived so he had to inspect those products. His father could handle everything else.

As for his two guards, both were tailing him while hiding in the void. Unless one was a Sunmoon, one would not be able to detect them.

Xia Xinyi had never been well-known. Clad in a simple and unassuming outfit, nobody suspected his identity. His destination was a store not far from the perfect’s residence. That was also a commercial district. They wouldn’t have opened a store there otherwise. He might be cautious, but he actually wasn’t too worried about his safety. After all, he wouldn’t go too far away from his home.

Even the commander who was assassinated not long ago had died quite far away from the center of the city. Meanwhile, Xia Xinyi wouldn’t stray too far from the prefect’s residence. Administrator Hu, who was inside the prefect’s residence, could reach him in only three or four seconds.

If he was too scared to even go somewhere so near, he might as well stay in his room forever. And thus, he continued stepping forth without any worry.
