Tribulation of Myriad Races

Su Yu sighed and said, “Yeah, I understand. After the death of Jiu Xuan and my master, the prince has been suspicious of everything. It’s like he’s seeing Su Yu’s shadow behind everything. Senior Brother, do you think Su Yu is really here as well? I find that hard to believe. How can things be so calm if he’s really here?”

Pan Hu said, “Just let him be. Martial Uncle Taihe isn’t taking him seriously either. Don’t mind him too much. There are so many Invincibles here. What can a mere Su Yu do even if he’s here?”

Su Yu nodded and grinned, “True! Forget about this. Let’s not gossip about the prince behind him. It’s not a bad idea to stay wary. Su Yu is…sigh. I understand the prince’s hatred. I hate Su Yu as well. If it wasn’t for him, my master wouldn’t have died. Lord Dao King wouldn’t have suffered such injuries. We wouldn’t be in our current predicament.”

Pan Hu nodded and gnashed his teeth. Su Yu deserved death.

He looked around and saw that some other immortals were leaving as well. After a short moment, he said, “Let’s go. We haven’t gained anything good from our trip here. We should take this chance to gather some treasures while the Invincibles are kept occupied by He Tu. We will be fine as long as we stay away from the Devote King’s residence. After all, both of us require treasures for our cultivation as well.”

Su Yu nodded. With a smile, he left with Pan Hu.

Outside, Su Yu looked around and sent a voice transmission, “Senior Brother, rather than searching for treasures, we might as well rob some treasures. Target some minor race or ancient race experts and kill them for their treasures instead. We should be fine as long as we leave the major races alone.”

Pan Hu grinned, “I have the same idea. I have been paying attention to a few fellows. They seem to have gained a decent harvest from the mansion. There are quite a lot of survivors among the ancient and minor races. We can gain a lot from killing them all. I believe we’re not the only ones with this idea. Let’s move faster. We can’t let anyone to snatch these treasures from us.”

Su Yu nodded, “However, we still need to be careful. Let’s figure out the number and race of Invincibles here first. Let’s include the Pseudo Invincibles as well. That will make things safer for us. We don’t want to accidentally kill someone with an ancestor here, right?”

“True.” Pan Hu said, “Come on. I have someone to see. An old friend of mine is a member of the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion. He’s here too. He knows a lot and he has been on the seventh level for quite a while. If we join up with him…”

“That…”

Seeing that Su Yu was looking quite wary, Pan Hu said, “Don’t worry. We’ve known each other for years. He’s a seventh-stage Sunmoon as well. With him in the group, we can face even eighth-stage Sunmoons.”

Su Yu nodded, “If you trust him, it should be fine. I know that the Heaven Department head has entered personally. He’s very strong. With a friend from the pavilion around, things might be safer for us as well.”

“Of course.”

With that, the two started heading in the direction where those from the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion were gathering. The pavilion had not sent too many members into the mansion this time, but they had sustained heavy losses. Su Yu had not bothered to hold back against their members.

***

After some time, they met the pavilion member in a dilapidated building. It was unknown how Pan Hu had arranged for this meeting. The pavilion member waiting inside was a faceless elder.

He wasn’t surprised to see an additional person with Pan Hu. He greeted, “Fourth Heaven greets Fellow Daoist Ling Heng.”

“Greetings, Elder Fourth Heaven.”

After the greetings, Pan Hu said, “Old Fourth, you know Ling Heng so I won’t waste our time introducing him. Can I have a copy of the information here? I need the names of the Invincibles and Pseudo Invincibles.”

Fourth Heaven said, “I knew you wanted that. I received it from the head not long ago. It’s quite a valuable list…”

“We’ve been brothers for so long. Are you charging me for this?”

“It’s important to keep the accounts clear between brothers.”

The two teased each other, looking like they were quite familiar with each other. Before long, Fourth Heaven took a list out without mentioning the price anymore. When Su Yu saw the names on the list, his heart thumped.

The Heavenly Hunt Pavilion was indeed incredible at information gathering. The information in the list was a lot more detailed than what most people knew.

“Five immortal kings, five divine kings, seven devil kings, with six being the obvious devil kings. The Blood Fire Devil King has entered after disguising himself.”

That information alone was enough to alarm Su Yu.

Blood Fire Devil King.

This was someone near the Daofuse Realm.

Holy shit!

Was he not worried about dying in the mansion?

Clearly, the Blood Fire Devil King had his eyes on the nine-leaf skylotus. With the skylotus, he would be able to advance into the Daofuse Realm and challenge the Devil Pseudo Emperor for the leadership of the devils.

Pan Hu was just as shocked as he exclaimed, “The Blood Fire Devil King is here? Wouldn’t his death be a disaster for the blood fire devils?”

Fourth Heaven said, “I had the same reaction when I first saw the list. There is already a devil king from the blood fire devil race here. And now, the Blood Fire Devil King has arrived personally as well. Losing both of them will be a big blow for the blood fire devil race.”

“Four human Invincibles…”

Su Yu blanked out again. He double-checked to make sure that he wasn’t seeing things.

There was an additional sentence behind that line: Great Ming King might have entered as well. Unverified.

Su Yu asked, “Is Great Ming King really here?”

Fourth Heaven answered, “There is no confirmation, but we suspect so. All Invincibles will be transported straight to the seventh level. And a relatively unknown expert has appeared directly on the seventh level this time. Thus, we suspect that the unknown expert is actually Great Ming King in disguise.”

“Who is it?”

Su Yu wondered if that was someone he knew. If it was someone he knew, he would be a better judge of whether that was really Great Ming King.

“Umbra.”

That was a familiar name. A seventh-stage Sunmoon. That was indeed a relatively unknown individual. The suspicion was reasonable. How terrifying. Was Great Ming King not afraid of losing everything here?

Both he and his son were here. If both were to die, would Old Zhu be able to hold Great Ming up alone? Then again, they had recently gained Niu Baidao as an Invincible. If Great Ming King were to die, they could always make Old Niu their new leader.

“Great Ming King is clearly trying to become a Pseudo Emperor.”

Pan Hu said, “Sure enough, all these people are dangerous. Try to avoid provoking the humans. For now, we can’t afford to attract their ire.”

According to the list, there were twenty-two Invincibles from the four major races alone. There were also two dragon Invincibles, one five elemental Invincible, one nether Invincible, and one Heavenly Hunt Pavilion Invincible.

Additionally, there were three Invincibles from the phoenix, fate, and celestial chasm races.

That would push the number of Invincibles to thirty.

Furthermore, several Pseudo Invincibles had been marked with the strength to fight Invincibles. For example, Hollow of the spatial beast race, September of the iron devourer race, Skyeater of the ancient hou race, Endless Passage of the fate race, Yun Chen of the human race…

Huh?

Su Yu blanked out. Was Yun Chen here as well? He didn’t notice that. Did Yun Chen enter after him? In a way, Yun Chen could be considered a backer for Old Liu’s group, right? But it was unknown if Liu Wenyan and the others would consider that the case.

Lan Tian wasn’t mentioned.

There were quite a lot of Pseudo Invincibles here. Most of them were probably here for carrier treasures or dao affirmation. But was the mansion was a safe choice for dao affirmation? Not at all. This was an extremely dangerous choice. Any carelessness would kill them. This was also why the humans had never attempted to break through in here.

After going through the list, Su Yu inhaled deeply. That was a lot of experts.

All of them were his competitors.

How troublesome.

He glanced at Fourth Heaven and Pan Hu, wondering if he should first kill these two.

But then, he decided to forget that for now.

It would be better to kill others first. He could always invite these two into his book after they ran out of targets. He had yet to kill any high-stage Sunmoons in the mansion.
