Tribulation of Myriad Races

Chapter 819: Xia Huyou's Request (2)

With a smirk, Xia Huyou said, "How can Cui Lang be Cui Lang if he's not womanizing around? I also need to start messing around. I can no longer act like a harmless little fatty. I need to start acting like a prodigal young master who is also incredibly cunning. I might even start discussing an alliance by marriage with the immortals."

"Immortals?"

"Yes." Xia Huyou beamed, "Do you like immortal fairies? It would be cool to get one as your wife. My dad is going to be affirming his dao soon, right? It won't be nice to collude with the divines and devils so we might as well collude with the immortals. Brother, I might have an immortal fairy as a wife in the future. Humanity will object if I take a divine or a devil as my wife. But it will be hard for them to object if it's an immortal. Even people like Great Qin King won't have the proper reason to object. And the immortals will agree. They want to establish a foothold in the Human Realm. Isn't this the perfect chance for them?"

Su Yu frowned and said, "Immortal fairy? Their corpses do look quite good. I saw some before. Do you want to take a look as well? Also, they like to fart a lot. Are you sure you want one as your wife?"

"It doesn't matter what I want. I must do it." Xia Huyou narrowed his eyes and said, "If I could hook up with a few of them, it would be nice as well."

"Fine. Do what you want." Su Yu did not want to say anything about that. This wasn't Xia Huyou acting on his whim. Rather, he was scheming. Su Yu was not interested in getting involved.

"Do you want me to introduce some to you? During crucial moments, you can use this to save your life. You can even seek shelter in the Immortal Realm with this opportunity."

"No thanks."

"You're boring." Xia Huyou laughed, "Do you want me to do anything for you? It's inconvenient for you to do anything right now."

Su Yu tossed a storage ring over and said, "After I leave, hand it to my teacher. Don't do it now. I don't want my teacher to lose his confidence after seeing the contents in the ring."

Xia Huyou laughed, "Sure, I can do it. Anything else?"

"Gather some information about the people my martial uncle killed. I also want the names of everyone who had entered my house and information about what they did there. Also, give me a complete list of all ancient races in existence."

Xia Huyou frowned, "Are you going to the Allheaven Battlefield?"

"You can't live a long life if you're too smart."

Xia Huyou did not seem to mind. He said, "Are you going to use the same trick and leave with a disguise? If so, you better use the identity of someone real who has gone missing but not dead. And that person also must be a genius that the myriad races are aware of."

Su Yu stared at Xia Huyou with a frown.

Xia Huyou nonchalantly said, "Why are you looking at me like that? Is this so hard to guess? If you're planning to disguise yourself as a random genius, forget about it. Things aren't so simple. Do you think you're the only smart person in existence? Do you think you're the only person capable of disguising yourself? Do you think nobody tried this in the past? All these people had eventually exposed themselves or died. It won't be that easy. Also, ancient races are the hardest to imitate. All of them have exclusive abilities. Are you thinking of using ability blood essence for your disguise? Well, I guess that is quite helpful.

"You better pick a race that is allied to the divines or devils. Your life will still be hard if you pick a race that is their enemy. I can gather some information for you. However, the actual relationships between the various races are not public knowledge. If you really have no choice..."

He narrowed his eyes and said, "I'll think of a way for you. Most large families have some backup plans. For example, they will all have some races as their secret allies they can send their juniors over to seek refuge when absolutely necessary. These large families have long prepared for all sorts of scenarios. Thus, they all have some usable secret identities in the Allheaven Battlefield. Of course, it isn't necessarily a good idea to use these secret identities. After all, you never know if these secret allies will stab you in the back."

The two continued drinking in silence. After a while, Su Yu sighed and said, "I shouldn't have talked with you about this. You sure have a smart brain. You never spoke so bluntly with me in the past. What's going on? Have you decided to throw caution to the wind?"

Xia Huyou shook his head, "I only want you to know that there are a lot of smart people around. You were too careless. Any opening will give someone the chance to see through you. Do you think that your disguise is still fully hidden? I think more than ten people are already aware of your disguise. Fortunately, your enemies still don't know you that well. If they actually understand you as well as us, they will discover you in no time."

Su Yu nodded, "The fault lies in my weak strength. It's still down to a matter of strength. If I'm stronger, I will be able to hide better."

"You're already quite strong."

Xia Huyou didn't know what else he should say. Why was this fellow still claiming to be weak? If this person was weak, should he kill himself out of shame? After all, he was far weaker than this fellow.

"Also, try not to form any characters related to Invincibles or use any arts related to them. That will also make it easy for them to see through your disguise. Invincibles are much stronger than you imagine. If you're injured, do not leave anything behind. Not even a drop of blood. You saw it yourself during the trial. Invincibles are capable of reproducing the past. You won't be able to hide anything from them. Elder Chen is a lot more capable than you at this."

After a slight hesitation, Xia Huyou added, "Also, I'll give you a list of names for you. Those are the people he might kill next. If you can, try to get in touch with him. Tell him to not walk into a trap knowingly. There are a lot of smart people around. It's easy for some people to see that all the dead experts had the blood of some multiple character factions in their hands."

Su Yu nodded and sighed. Sure enough, the situation in the Human Realm was a lot more complicated than he thought. There were way too many people who were actually aware of what was happening but were merely pretending to be clueless.

These people were either unrelated to these matters or had their own separate plans. Thus, staying ignorant was beneficial for them. Most people knew that Chen Yong was the murderer. They had probably found out the reason behind these murders as well. They were probably also aware of the list of people that would die next.

Also, Invincible characters could be detected by Invincibles...in that case, did Great Han King and Great Song King see through him earlier as well? Silk Destroying King was clearly aware of his disguise. How about the other two?

Once again, Su Yu sighed. Sure enough, someone as excellent as him would not be able to stop shining no matter where he went.

The two continued drinking while talking about various topics. After a while, Xia Huyou hiccuped and said, "One last thing. I need to remind you to not see your father when you enter the Allheaven Battlefield. He is under constant monitoring. Some people are even suspecting that he's aware of your secret ruin. Don't visit Instructor Liu as well. Even if you approach them with a different identity, you will still attract many eyes. If they use their brain for a bit, they might end up guessing your identity. And with your identity exposed, you might not be able to leave the Allheaven Battlefield anymore."

Su Yu frowned, "Is it so serious?"

"What a stupid question." Xia Huyou said, "But if you must meet them...it's not like you have no way of doing so. You should do the meeting openly instead of secretly. You're Cui Lang, right? Just say that you're Su Yu's friend. Or you can use Zhu Tiandao as an excuse. Just say that you're there under his orders. Anything is better than trying to meet secretly. But of course, not seeing them at all is the best option."

Su Yu nodded. He would decide what to do according to the circumstances. He couldn't promise anything since meeting his father was one of the reasons he had decided to leave Great Ming.

"I have nothing else to say. Great Xia will remain peaceful for a bit. Don't worry. Your teacher and the others will remain safe."

After some hesitation, he added, "As for your senior sister, I suggest sending her to Great Ming. She can stay there with Nostril Woman. It's pointless for her to stay here. She won't be happy and she will also burden the others."

Su Yu thought about it and said, "I'm worried that she won't agree to leave."

"Therefore, you need to persuade her yourself. Just give her grand promises. Just bluff and tell her that after going there, she can become a Skysoar in three months, a Cloudbreach in one year, a Mountainsea in three years, a Sunmoon in five years, and an Invincible in ten years. I'm confident in your ability to lie."

"Screw you!" Su Yu laughed.

No way. He was an honest man. Uhm...yeah. He couldn't even convince himself that he was not a liar anymore.

After some time, Xia Huyou left. Before leaving, he promised to supply Su Yu with a large amount of blood essence. But he also needed a supply of some heavenly source qi or some other useful resources he needed.

Su Yu was frowning alone in the villa. He did not talk about it previously, but Xia Huyou was actually building a private army. Why? Did he believe that Great Xia would eventually lose all their armies to sheer casualties? Or was he simply worried that the Martial Dragon Guard would turn disobedient toward him in the end?

Su Yu had understood a part of Xia Family's plan after the hints given by Marquis Xia and Xia Huyou. He could only sigh and forget about this matter for now. He should return his focus to his cultivation.

He had gained a lot from this weaponsmithing session. His body had reached ten forgings. He had also gained two new characters. The vibrate character was a natural character while the meld character was gained from an Invincible note.

After so many days of weaponsmithing, his willpower had also grown stronger. His Soul Expanding Hammer felt much stronger than before. He had even forged a peak profound cultural weapon for himself.

All in all, he had gained a massive increase in strength. He was much stronger than he was during the assassination of the ninth-stage Cloudbreach in Nanyuan.

On the next day, Su Yu took a stroll in the city with Xia Huyou. And sure enough, he saw many descendants of experts in the city. Some of them would be the students of Hong Tan's Multiple Character Faculty at the start of the next semester.

Su Yu wasn't too interested in these people, and that was also how he behaved. He would spend more time talking about beauties with those willing to engage in that topic. As for those uninterested in that topic, he wouldn't waste any time on them either.

And after several days, these descendants of experts also figured out the nature of this so-called Cui Lang.

That was an arrogant person, but he wasn't too crazily arrogant. He loved talking about beauties. It didn't matter who you were. As long as you were willing to talk about beauties, he would spend some time with you. He had no interest in serious and grand topics.

During the day, Su Yu would spend his time roaming the city. And during the night, he would spent his time extracting blood essence and forging his body. He was also constantly tempering his willpower.

Great Xia had transformed into a bomb. It had yet to detonate, and Su Yu was still too weak to get involved in the coming events of Great Xia. But he had a brilliant solution for that. He only needed to grow strong enough as fast as possible.

Not participating was not an option for him. After all, the core of the coming events was Hong Tan and company. These people would act as the fuse to light everything up. Even Xia Huyou was able to sense the thick smell of crisis in the air. Su Yu could naturally sense it as well.

On the third day, Su Yu started preparing to leave. That was the same day the divine and devil students would arrive.
