Tribulation of Myriad Races

Chapter 391: Gradual Return (3)

Zheng Ping laughed, "You make the death of a Mountainsea sound so simple. Even a first-stage Mountainsea cant be killed so easily! Also, these people are all grouped together. And they even have backers. How can I kill them as I wish? The Soul Devouring Art is not worth this price."

Su Yu nodded. With his arms around Xia Huyou, he bowed slightly and walked away with Xia Huyou.

Xia Huyou looked incomparably sullen.

Zheng Ping raised his brow, "So you're not selling anymore?"

"I'm still selling." Su Yu smiled, "Grandpa Zheng, I don't want to make things difficult for you so I'll be selling to someone else instead. Yunhui is my brother. I don't want to make things hard for his grandpa. I'll look for General Zhao instead. I believe the military needs an art like this."

Not far away, General Zhao raised his brow and said, "Those people are from the character faction. Killing even one of them will bring a lot of trouble. I'm not scared, but we still need cultural researchers in the army. Killing any of them might invite the hostility of the cultural researcher community toward the Martial Dragon Guards."

Su Yu nodded and said nothing else. He walked toward a different person instead.

His new target was the Martial Dragon War Academy's principal. The principal said, "The Martial Dragon War Academy is basically the reserve army of the Martial Dragon Guards. Since General Zhao is not accepting this task, I naturally can't do so as well."

Not far away, Administrator Hu said, "Student, a single Soul Devouring Art for the help of a Mountainsea against a Mountainsea cultural researcher with backers is basically an impossible deal to get."

He added, "Furthermore, this entire conflict involves more than the benefits of certain parties. We wouldn't have opened up this warzone otherwise. This is a debt left behind by the fifth principal. And your faction is bearing that debt. This is the crux of the issue."

Su Yu softly said, "I understand. Thank you for your advice, Grandpa Hu. But there is still one thing I don't understand. My great grandteacher was not the one who had killed the Invincible from Great Zhou. Why do we need to shoulder all the debt? We don't have the data they want. Had my great grandteacher promised his character to these people?"

Administrator Hu shook his head and said nothing else. There were things that couldn't be solved by words alone.

Su Yu looked around. The battle was still raging and the number of combatants was increasing.

Even Cloudbreach cultivators were starting to get involved. They were taking advantage of the fact that all the Mountainseas were occupied to approach Liu Wenyan.

While Su Yu was looking at Liu Wenyan, Liu Wenyan was also looking at him. With a smile, Liu Wenyan's lips moved.

"Go back."

This was not Su Yu's battle. This was not a battle he could participate in. Saving his teachers? Su Yu was too weak.

Suddenly, grief and indignation rose within Su Yu. Why was this happening? Was Great Xia really going to ignore this?

He looked at Marquis Xia. They were within the borders of Great Xia. Instead of a group of cultists, it was a group of cultural researchers killing another group of cultural researchers. Was Great Xia really ignoring this?

Disappointment welled within him. He was greatly disappointed. Just why? He saw Wu Yuehua bleeding. He saw the body of an expert protecting Teacher Liu exploding. They did not have enough Mountainseas on their side.

In the cover of the night, more and more combatants stepped forward and joined the battle. None of them said anything or introduced themselves. They merely fought silently.

Not far away, a smiling individual arrived while stepping on thin air. After cupping their hands at Liu Wenyan with a smile, that person entered the fight.

Someone gave Liu Wenyan a thumbs-up from faraway with a burning look in their eyes before joining the fight as well.

Su Yu knew that these were all the experts that had arrived to help his teacher. These were the people that had been waiting for Liu Wenyan's return all these years. Su Yu could only watch helplessly. He knew that he had likely failed in selling his Soul Devouring Art. These people were unwilling to participate in the fight.

The saying that warriors were brainless brutes was nothing but a joke. These people couldn't be fooled easily.

But Su Yu was unwilling to accept this.

In his agitation, Su Yu had tightened his grip on Xia Huyou without realizing it, causing Xia Huyou's shoulders to bruise. Xia Huyou scratched his head as he couldn't understand the reason for this choice as well. He looked at his second granduncle with an inquiring gaze. Were they really ignoring this?

More and more people joined the fight.

The Martial Dragon Guards had formed a complete encirclement of the warzone. The cultural researchers of the army silently released their willpower and sealed the area, preventing any shockwave from the battle to leave the warzone.

Xia Huyou gave Marquis Xia another look. Marquis Xia shook his head. They were still not doing anything. Ñøv€l-B1n was the first platform to present this chapter.

They would wait.

They would keep waiting.

That was the marquis choice.

Sounds of explosions rang out repeatedly.

The two peak Mountainseas were also fighting at a place nobody could see. However, the shockwaves from their fight were clear for all to see. The shockwaves spread far and wide, causing mountains to collapse and rivers to run dry.

They were very powerful. And this was a shocking fight to behold.

However, Su Yu was unable to actually observe that battle. Nor was he in the mood to observe it. He was focused on Liu Wenyan. The people standing guard around Liu Wenyan were continuously reducing in number.

There was nothing he could do. He could only watch helplessly. The Soul Devouring Art was completely useless.

Su Yu looked around and saw that there were still a large number of people observing the battle in midair.

"For the price of a Soul Devouring Art manual, an art specializing in harming willpower, is anyone willing to help?"

In his desperation, Su Yu shouted at the observers. Nobody replied.

"Production method of ability blood essence on top of the Soul Devouring Art."

Some of them looked at him, but still, nobody replied.

With a hoarse voice, Su Yu roared, "A foundation cultural art on top of all that! A cultural art that can be cultivated below the Skysoar Realm with 36 apertures! Is anyone willing to make a move? Anyone?"

Those words shocked the various observers. Even Marquis Xia was looking at him now. Liu Wenyan was also looking at Su Yu in astonishment.

Su Yu howled, "Is nobody in Great Xia willing to help? How about those from the other prefectures? Since the Xia Family is ignoring this, they will also be unqualified to say anything if the experts of other prefectures get involved. Anyone?"

"Cultural art?" Finally, someone spoke, "Is it really a cultural art that can be cultivated below the Skysoar Realm? Does it really have 36 apertures?"

"Yes." Su Yu howled, "You only need to kill one Mountainsea and the manual is yours. Soul Devouring Art, ability blood essence production method, and foundation cultural art. All of them will be yours."

Su Yu continued roaring desperately, "Is this not enough? How about a heaven-grade manual?"

Even more gazes focused on him.

"Are you from the multiple character faction?"

"I am Su Yu. Direct student of Teacher Bai Feng. Is my price enough?" Su Yu roared, "If that's not enough"

"Enough. Are you going to give away everything your predecessors left for you?" Someone laughed, "Silly kid. Are you going to give away everything the multiple character faction has?"

"The silly kid was joking. Don't take him seriously, everyone. Our multiple character faction is so poor. How can we have all those things?"

A youth walked out of the darkness with a spear in hand. He smiled and said, "Stop messing around. Go back. He was joking, guys. We don't have all those things."

As the youth walked out, someone exclaimed, "Xia Yunji!"

Xia Yunji, one of the legends from the golden era, one of the freaks of the multiple character faction.

This Xia Yunji had a young appearance and a pale face. That face was filled with a wide smile. He looked at Su Yu and said, "A little child like you should stop messing around..."

He then casually stabbed his spear out and smiled, "Brother Wenyan, why have you returned so early? With me here, who can touch Brother Zhang's grave?"

Not far away, a spear punctured the chest of a Mountainsea.

Whoosh!

His entire body exploded from the strike. Xia Yunji smiled and pulled his spear back. His body flickered and reappeared somewhere else. His spear then swept out toward a seventh-stage Mountainsea.

Bang!

Space itself cracked.

The face of the seventh-stage Mountainsea changed. Just as he was about to dodge, a Divine Character appeared.

"Dragon!"

The character entered the spear, turning the spear into a dragon. Amid the night sky, a gigantic golden dragon appeared and swallowed the Mountainsea with one bite. The dragon turned back into a spear before returning to Xia Yunji's hand.

With the same smile on his face, Xia Yunji shook his spear. One could vaguely hear an expert roaring from within the spear. The expert constantly struck the spear from within, causing the spear to shake endlessly.

A clump of flame appeared in Xia Yunji's palm. With the flame, he burned the spear. A miserable wail rang out.

Xia Yunji cleared his throat, scanned his surroundings, and said, "Withdraw. I can't do anything if a Sunmoon is here. But without a Sunmoon, Zhou Mingren is not enough to stop me."

He looked at Su Yu once again and smiled, "Go back to the academy. Stop messing around. What do you think you're selling? You are not allowed to sell what your predecessors left behind. You will become a sinner if you do that."

Shock covered Su Yu's face.

An expert of the multiple character faction! This was one of the expelled students from back then. He had returned! Right that moment, a palm appeared behind Xia Yunji and shot toward him.

Shan Tianhao!

Xia Yunji frowned. But the shaking of his spear intensified right that moment, curbing his reaction.

At that exact moment, a gorgeous sword descended from the sky and headed straight toward Shan Tianhao. With a frown, Shan Tianhao hurriedly retreated and dodged the sword.

"Xia Yunji, you sure move fast."

The voice of a woman rang out. From the dark sky, a woman stepped forth. Wu Yuehua, who was busy fighting an expert, suddenly scolded, "Hu Ping! This must be intentional! You have deliberately arrived late to see me make a fool of myself!"

"Ridiculous. You're being completely unreasonable." The sword-wielding woman in the air snorted disdainfully, "See you make a fool of yourself? Your very existence is a joke in itself. Why should I even bother?"

"Bitch, just you wait! I'll settle the score with you after killing this bastard!"

She started going crazy, sending her massive cauldron everywhere. A massive cloud of black smoke also started coming out of her cauldron. The few unlucky Mountainseas that got in contact with the black smoke instantly found their bodies rotting away. The black smoke spread far and wide.contemporary romance

...

Xia Yunji and Hu Ping.

Two of the expelled students from back then had returned one after another. Su Yu was staring at the two blankly. Suddenly, he laughed. The multiple character faction had not run out of people, after all.

He hurriedly said, "Thank you, seniors. As for the other seniors, please forgive me. I was merely playing a joke earlier. Xia Huyou has yet to give me his cultural art. I won't be able to sell it even if I want to. Don't misunderstand me..."

"..."

Xia Huyou looked at Su Yu in stupefaction. What was this fellow talking about?

Numerous gazes landed on Xia Huyou. Some recognized him, and they were completely dumbstruck. This Su Yu...was trying to sell the Xia Family's cultural art?

Fuck!

Screw this kid! Was this kid telling the truth? Was he trying to screw all of them? If they had accepted that deal, none of them would live to see tomorrow. Who would dare to lay their hands on the Xia Family's cultural art?

Xia Huyou continued staring at Su Yu in stupefaction. This bastard had really figured out who he was! But what was up with that cultural art this fellow had mentioned? When had he agreed to sell his cultural art?

Su Yu expressionlessly pinched Xia Huyou's shoulders and said, "You have it. You really do."

Xia Huyou's eyes flickered before brightening up. Really? Ohhh! He finally understood what Su Yu was implying.

Fuck!

This fellow...actually had something like that in his possession?

Xia Huyou hurriedly laughed and said, "Seniors, don't mind us. I was intending to give Su Yu the art. It's normal between friends. Don't misunderstand. If any of you had really agreed to his deal earlier, I would definitely take the art out. Su Yu is my brother. He is my best friend. Cultural art is nothing compared to our brotherhood..."

Marquis Xia couldn't help but to look at Xia Huyou. Yes. He had one, but his version only opened 18 apertures. Also, why had he told Su Yu something like that? Had he gone mad? And he was even going to give Su Yu the art?

Xia Huyou smiled apologetically and pinched Su Yu before saying, "Forget it. I'm not giving you the art anymore. Are you dumb? I told you to sell it off secretly. Why were you shouting so loudly? Everyone knows about it now. Give it back to me first. My family is not going to be happy."

Su Yu shot Xia Huyou a glance. With a smile, he passed over a jade talisman. When Xia Huyou accepted the jade talisman, his hand was trembling. Holy shit! Was this real?

When he saw his second granduncle looking over, he awkwardly said, "It was a lie. I never intended to give the art away. I was only joking with him. Who knows he would take it seriously and even try selling it? Don't be angry!"

Marquis Xia looked at the two in astonishment. Just what was going on? Meanwhile, Xia Huyou was trembling with excitement. Holy shit. Was this really a cultural art? Where had Su Yu gotten something like this? Holy shit! If that was really a cultural art, then this would be a massive profit for him!

Remember this desperation. Revenge will be so very sweet when it comes.
