Tribulation of Myriad Races

Chapter 693: One Fell Swoop? Not Enough (3)

Above Tiandu.

Zhu Tiandao coldly reached out and instantly crushed a few of the fleeing Mountainseas.

He turned to look at Su Yu and said through voice transmission, "You would have been fine even without him around. He's trying to get you to owe him a favor for nothing. Just ignore him."

Hmph! What was so great about Xia Longwu? Why was that fellow acting like they wouldn't be able to handle this mess without him?

Damn it! How dare that bastard act all cool and edgy in front of him.

He was using this opportunity to kill a few Sunmoons and deter the others from trying anything. Why was that bastard here as well? That bastard had killed three Sunmoons with a single slash. Sure, those were clones, but they were still Sunmoons. In comparison, Zhu Tiandao, who had spent so long against one Sunmoon, looked very weak.

This was too embarrassing. This was infuriating.

This was none of Xia Longwu’s business! Zhu Tiandao roared inwardly that even without Xia Longwu, he would still be able to kill all those enemies. Without Xia Longwu, he would still be able to deal with the three clones. Then again, Xia Longwu had also cut through space to exterminate the actual first clone to have arrived and tossed the three clones out.

Damn it. Which Invincible was that? Had that Invincible gone crazy? Four Sunmoon clones had been sent at once. Something bad had nearly happened.

Also, when did Xia Longwu arrive? Zhu Tiandao couldn't understand how he missed that. Also, why was there no reaction from the Super Sensory Jade? Did this mean that Xia Longwu was already as strong as an Invincible? Was that why the jade had failed to sense him?

Zhu Tiandao continued transmitting his voice to Su Yu, "I'm telling you the truth. That fellow was only here to show off. He's good at that, but his strength is nothing special. Don't be impressed. Don't be thankful. You would have been fine with only me here."

Damn that shameless Xia Longwu for coming here to steal the heart of his people! This kid had already defected from Great Xia. Why was that shameless bastard still doing this?

Meanwhile, the final surviving Sunmoon who was facing Niu Baidao and the others finally realized that there was no escape. He roared, "Don't kill me! I know the name of the traitor Invincible—"

A pop rang out.

His head was crushed by Niu Baidao. "Shut your mouth."

Su Yu remained silent. That person deserved it.

Regardless of whether he was telling the truth or not, this was not something that could be said in public. It would only cause more chaos in the Human Realm. And things would get even more troublesome if the cultist was lying. Thus, the cleanest way of dealing with this was to kill the cultist.

The traitor Invincible had lost seven Sunmoons in total. Just who exactly was that person? After this incident, some people would definitely start looking into it. As for whether there would be any results, nobody knew.

After losing seven Sunmoon characters in a row, it was likely that this unknown Invincible would be forced to move personally the next time they decided to take action.

Su Yu started silently absorbing the character intent from the destroyed Sunmoon characters. With a smile, he said, "If any of you are cultural researchers, this is the time for you to sit down and cultivate. With so many Sunmoons dead, you can use this chance to grow your cultivation. This is also a good opportunity to open more apertures. Even warriors can take this chance to cultivate. You can start with the first stage of the Source Soul Acupoint Opening Method."

Su Yu was not worried at all. Five enemy Sunmoons had perished while the enemy Mountainseas were on the verge of being wiped out. What was there to fear? Everything had ended too fast. Less than a minute had passed since the start of the battle. In that span of time, five Sunmoons had died.

Great Ming had displayed a shocking level of strength. A total of seven Sunmoons had appeared. Hu Xiansheng's Teleportation Door also shocked a lot of people. More importantly, how did they discover all those cultists? Five cult Sunmoons had been detected so easily. Nobody would be stupid enough to sneak into the city without any confidence in their concealment abilities.

Also, Zhu Tiandao's performance was pretty eye-catching as well. Floating in the air, any Mountainsea he pointed at would die.

Even the Mountainseas that had remained hidden were being killed one after another. Of course, not all the cultists were killed. Some were deliberately left alive. These surviving cultists might be useful in the future. They only needed to kill the stronger ones.

Once detected, these people would no longer be able to escape their surveillance.

With a smile, Zhu Tiandao said, "It doesn't matter if these people are cultists or not. They are clearly harboring evil designs if they are hiding their strength in the capital after my warning. There is no need to hesitate when killing them."

He sighed and continued, "What a pity that the great people of Great Ming has suffered from this. Nine combatants on Great Ming's side had died in the chaos. All nine of them will be enshrined and their families will be compensated accordingly. These families can send one person each to the Great Ming Cultural Research Academy and Great Ming War Academy for free. This will last for three generations."

Su Yu chimed in as well. With a regretful tone, he said, "They died because of me. I am greatly ashamed. The direct family members of the nine martyrs will be allowed to cultivate all the cultivation methods released by the Source Soul Research Center for free. This will last for all generations."

After hearing that, one of the people in the crowd sighed and said, "I should have died as well."

That was an old man with a broken arm. He felt like he was better off dead. Since they could send one person per generation per academy, over three generations, they would be able to send a total of six people into the two biggest academies in Great Ming.

Additionally, they would also be able to get the cultivation methods of the Source Soul Research Center for free. There was no need to gather total earned merit on top of merit points just to purchase some cultivation methods. Furthermore, everyone directly related to the deceased would be entitled to this benefit.

That was crazy. After some calculation, that old man concluded that not even his life was worth that much. That old man was not alone in feeling that way. They were greatly disappointed that they had survived the battle.

At their age, they were no longer afraid of death. They had enjoyed enough while they were alive.For them, this was a totally worthy trade. They would be enshrined while their descendants would enjoy countless benefits.

One of the injured individuals even started coughing blood while trying to end himself. Before he could succeed, a soldier rushed over and grabbed that fellow. The soldier had an unsightly expression. Why was Great Ming filled with people like this?

This was both infuriating and funny at the same time.

The others who were also thinking of doing the same could only give up. As for the one who was caught, he helplessly said, "Why aren't you allowing me to die? Prefect, the injured ones should be given something as well, right?"

Zhu Tiandao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Was it time to...readjust the mentality of the people of Great Ming?

It was not the time to deal with that matter. Finally, he had the time to face the visiting Sunmoons who were still waiting outside. Looking at the shocked expressions on their faces, he smiled and said, "Everyone, my apologies for being so rude earlier. Great Ming is such a friendly prefecture. I don't understand why anyone would want to attack us. Our beloved capital was nearly destroyed in the disastrous incident earlier."

Everyone was speechless. Was he sure? Was he sure that losing nine individuals in exchange for five Sunmoons and more than a dozen Mountainseas was the same as having their capital nearly destroyed?

Zhu Tiandao ignored their expressions. He soared into the sky and said, "Since all of you are here, please serve as the witness. I don't have anything much to say. Everyone, please take a trip with me. I am going to visit the two holy lands today and demand an answer from them. Does justice still exist in the Human Realm? Is the cult running the Human Realm instead? Why is the cult allowed to run freely?"

Walking on thin air in an overbearing manner, Zhu Tiandao suggested, "Everyone, please take a trip with me. Don't tell me that you're too busy. Are you not ashamed after witnessing what just happened?"

He spoke loudly.

"Just who does the Human Realm belong to? If it belongs to the Myriad Race Cult, why do we continue fighting? We might as well hand over the realm right away."

His tone turned stern, "Where is the Iron Cavalry? Come with me. We shall enter the Dual Holy Prefecture and seek justice."

Over a thousand soldiers soared into the sky on their mounts. In a strict formation, they roared, "Great Ming's prefect shall enter the Dual Holy Prefecture! All evil forces, get out of our way!"

Zhu Tiandao smiled. At the same time, a golden dragon soared into the sky with a chariot behind him. Stepping onto the chariot, Zhu Tiandao said, "Gentlemen, let's visit the Dual Holy Prefecture together. If you refuse...you must be cult sympathizers."

As his laughter rang in the air, the golden dragon, the chariot, and over a thousand soldiers streaked away in the sky.

Six Sunmoons were left outside the city.

Some of them had complicated expressions. They really wanted to leave, but that was no longer an option. How troublesome.

Beneath the towering Great Ming banner, Zhu Tiandao asked, "What are you waiting for? Gentlemen, get on the chariot and have a drink together. We will reach the Dual Holy Prefecture tomorrow. If they don't give us a satisfactory answer, Great Ming shall withdraw from the Human Alliance."

There were thirty-eight prefectures in the Human Realm. Thirty-six of them were founded by Invincibles. The Dual Holy Prefecture and the Allheaven Prefecture were established much later.

The thirty-eight prefectures were ruled by different families, but all these families were joined together in an alliance. The Dual Holy Prefecture was supposed to be the leader of the alliance.

The visiting Sunmoons were unwilling to go, but it was no longer up to them. Zhu Tiandao was clearly going to launch a complaint at the Dual Holy Prefecture. They had to be there for that.

Why? Because they had witnessed the entire incident with their own eyes. Five Sunmoons had sneaked into Great Ming's capital. They had to wonder if the cult had gone mad. More importantly, Zhu Tiandao was too ruthless.

The entire demonstration was simply a bait to lure all these Sunmoons over. Yes. All these visiting Sunmoons had finally realized that. How ruthless.

Sure enough, a dog would not bark before biting. Then again, just who exactly was that Invincible? Four character clones had been sent into Tiandu. If it wasn't for Xia Longwu, something bad might have happened.

Thus, they also wanted to find out what happened at the Dual Holy Prefecture. Was that a human Invincible? Or was that a myriad race Invincible? How could a myriad race Invincible send so many character clones into the Human Realm? What nonsense was that?

But if that was a human Invincible...who could it be? After losing so many characters, could they finally determine who that person was?

***

Looking at the departing group, Su Yu smiled.

After he was done fishing, Zhu Tiandao had pressed ahead to demand an answer instead of stopping. What an incredible schemer.

This time, the War Shrine and Knowledge Seeking Realm were going to pay a high price to settle this issue. Not only that, they also had to do something on top of compensating Zhu Tiandao for his losses. They wouldn't be able to sweep this issue under the carpet.

"Is this an example of defeating the enemy while sitting on the high horse?"

Understanding dawned on Su Yu. The little furball was stealthily absorbing the lingering character intent around him, but he couldn't be bothered to say anything. Looking at the damaged corpses on the ground, he grinned. This had been such a relaxed fishing experience.

After losing five Sunmoons, would the cult still dare to try anything against him? No, the correct question was: How many Sunmoons did the cult still have?

Not far away, Niu Baidao's astonished voice rang out, "Huh? This fellow...isn't this the new master of the Blood Fire Sect? He has the symbol of their sect on him."

He was checking the storage ring of the first Sunmoon to be killed by Zhu Tiandao. He found a brand new command token in the ring.

Blood Fire Sect.

Su Yu's mouth twitched.

The surrounding experts sank into silence as well.

The Blood Fire Sect...should just disband.

In the span of six months, they had lost three sect masters. What was the point of their continued existence?
