Tribulation of Myriad Races

Chapter 592: Old Zhu Makes His Move (2)

"Old man, don't come back. Just keep an eye on the Xia Family. If Xia Longwu or Great Xia King want to come, stop them. Your son is going to get rich!"

Zhu Tiandao promptly sent his father a message. He needed to keep an eye on the Xia Family. He wouldn't allow the Xia Family to reap the harvest. Great Ming would be the one doing Su Yu this favor. Sure, killing so many Mountainseas would bring them some trouble, but so what?

Unlike the other prefectures, Great Ming had nothing to lose. What were they afraid of? If the single character faction dared to provoke the Great Ming King, they could simply demolish the single character faction.

Zhu Tiandao's body vanished before reappearing somewhere else. The devil was still laughing happily. Suddenly, his expression changed. He turned around and saw that someone had appeared behind him. The newcomer was smiling at him.

"Thank you for this. Great Ming is too poor. We are in need of a Sunmoon devil corpse..."

Having said that, Zhu Tiandao waved his hand and released several characters. As a response, the devil released the suns and the moons in his eyes. However, his strength was instantly sealed.

Then, the suns and the moons broke apart.

Looking at Zhu Tiandao with alarm, the devil exclaimed, "Zhu Tiandao! Great Ming has always— "

"Great Ming has always been proactive when it comes to exterminating devils and upholding justice."

Zhu Tiandao hurriedly interrupted the devil, not allowing the devil to call them unambitious slackers. Meanwhile, everyone else was stunned.

Zhu Tiandao!

Zhu Tiandao of Great Ming!

A ninth-stage Sunmoon!

With a smile on his face, Zhu Tiandao stood there while his characters revolved around him. His strength as a ninth-stage Sunmoon was fully exposed before everyone there. With a higher cultivation level and his background as the descendant of an Invincible, this devil posed no threat to him.

As he was the sole Sunmoon of the Zhu Family, he was also the sole beneficiary of all the good stuff Great Ming King could provide. And Zhu Tiandao himself was not weak. Even compared to the other ninth-stage Sunmoons, he was still quite strong.

Squeeze, squeeze, and squeeze...

The devil was squeezed repeatedly before his body exploded. But instantly, the body started regrowing. At the Sunmoon Realm, one was capable of regrowing one's body from a drop of blood.

But it was pointless. Before anyone knew it, the devil had been crushed eight times. Finally, with a loud rumble, a moon appeared in the sky before crashing into the ground. That was the omen of a Sunmoon's death.

Zhu Tiandao appeared completely relaxed. He reached out and easily grabbed the escaping Blood Rakshasha. As suns and moons spun in his eyes, Blood Rakshasha's sea of willpower collapsed before dying.

Zhu Tiandao reached out again, grabbing Yun Fei from the Celestial Dragon Sect. It was as though his palm contained an entirely independent world.

With Yun Fei in his palm, he looked at Su Yu and smiled, "Well done, Su Yu. You have indeed caught a lot of big fish. The Xia Family might not have the courage to deal with these people, but the Zhu Family is not scared."

He casually crushed Yun Fei in his palm.

"Well, all the cultists are dead..."

Two Mountainseas and one fifth-stage Sunmoon had died before anyone knew what was happening. This was an expert who was incomparably close to the Invincible Realm. Even Su Yu was impressed. Was this the strength of a ninth-stage Sunmoon? The fifth-stage Sunmoon devil who was incomparably arrogant and domineering had been crushed to death just like that?

Zhu Tiandao had only appeared for a short moment.

At this time, the look in Jin Yuhui's eyes changed as he hurriedly said, "Thank you for the timely assistance, Prefect Zhu! It hasn't been easy for us to lure this devil and these cultists out!"

Yu Hong and the others also hurriedly said in fear, "Thank you, Prefect Zhu! We have received some information about the appearance of a devil some time ago. We thought that we could take him down, but we underestimated him. We are truly lucky that you just happen to be passing by when we're in need of help, Prefect!"

Zhu Tiandao smiled, "Passing by? Nope."

He looked at Yu Hong before looking at the others. With a smile, he said, "I'm not passing by. I was already here before any of you. Am I right, Su Yu?"

Su Yu smiled and answered, "Yes. You're wise and brilliant, Prefect. With your plan, all these traitors and cultists have been caught. Your great name shall spread far and wide after this feat!"

"It's not really that impressive." Zhu Tiandao said, "I am quite disappointed at the lack of an eighth or ninth-stage Sunmoon. That Lan Tian must have learned of my presence. Look at how fast he had escaped. If I could take him down instead, Great Ming would truly become famous."

Zhu Tiandao was smiling, but the faces of Yu Hong and the others fell. What was the meaning of that?

Even Hu Hao couldn't resist asking, "Su Yu, what are you—"

Su Yu calmly said, "Thank you for all the help, Seniors. But...I won't be considering this a favor. After all, all this happened because of Great Xia's negligence. Most of these traitors came from Great Xia. It is only natural that you do something. It's not like I would die without your assistance."

He expressed his gratitude, but he refused to acknowledge their favor. Of course, he did not reject all of them. People like Zhao Tianbing, Feng Ji, and Zhao Mingyue were truly here for him. And he would remember this favor.

As for those from the Xia Family, including Xia Wen and Xia Wu...he would consider this a single favor owed to Xia Huyou. That was all. Su Yu didn't even consider what the three Mountainsea beasts did for him a favor. They were merely doing this for their own survival. This was a transaction.

Su Yu calmly said, "Look at all the chaos in Great Xia. In fact, Great Xia should thank me for this. They should also thank Prefect Zhu for cleaning the garbage for them. I actually did Great Xia a huge favor here."

He was speaking the truth.

Zhu Tiandao smiled and said, "Exactly. Everyone in Great Xia is unreliable. Our Great Ming is the reliable one."

Zhao Mingyue flew over from afar. Looking at Su Yu with a frown, she said, "Su Yu, you mean to..."

"Senior Zhao, this student has decided to join Great Ming." Su Yu bowed and said, "I will never forget this favor, senior. If the multiple character faction is still willing to have me, I will forever remain a student of the multiple character faction. If not, so be it. There is no justice in Great Xia."

Su Yu raised his voice, "Single character faction's suppression of dissidents has escalated from mere suppression to extermination. Even so, everyone is turning a blind eye. Mountainseas and Sunmoons are making a move against me. If you still call this suppression, then I suppose the word murder has lost its meaning. Principal Wan has been talking about the rules again and again. Even the Xia Family keeps talking about the rules. But how many people are actually following these rules?"

Su Yu coldly said, "I might as well join Great Ming. I gave out the Acupoint Fusion Art. I gave out the Soul Devouring Art. I gave out a foundation cultural art. And the Xia Family is even aware of the character technique disassembly method developed by my teacher. But so what? My teacher has still been sent to a criminal's camp. He is being treated as a criminal. Isn't that funny?"

Vanguard Regiment? What a joke. That was basically a den of criminals.

Su Yu said, "My teacher is a criminal. Why? Because he killed someone in the so-called warzone set up by the Xia Family. He's a criminal for removing trash from Great Xia. He's being treated the same as a bandit and a murderer."

"The Xia Family claimed that all this was for the sake of protecting the multiple character faction. What a joke. Where was the Xia Family when I encountered danger? Where was the Xia Family when I encountered assassins? Where is this so-called justice? Since we're all here, why not make things clear? The Xia Family has been on guard against the traitor Invincible. But that has nothing to do with us! The War Shrine and the Knowledge Seeking Realm are the ones who have failed to find the traitor. And it's not like they care that much about the traitor. Why should we be the ones to suffer for this?

"Has anyone ever tried seeking justice for the multiple character faction? Can nobody see that something is suspicious about the fifth principal's death? A lot of people are aware of this! Still, they allowed the single character faction to do as they wished!

"The Xia Family was supposed to be the backer of the multiple character faction. The multiple character faction started in Great Xia. Thus, the Xia Family has the responsibility to do something after the fifth principal's death.

"The fifth principal's death is too complicated. I don't know too much about it. But I do know one thing. The fifth principal had killed a myriad race Invincible before dying. That is enough. No matter how selfish he used to be, no matter how arrogant he used to be, he had fought and perished on the battlefield.

"I only want to know if the fifth principal can be considered a hero. After all, he had killed an enemy Invincible before perishing. If he is a hero, protecting the multiple character faction should be the responsibility of the entire Human Realm. Any assistance provided shouldn't even be considered a favor. Is the Xia Family thinking of doing me a favor by protecting me like what you did with my Teacher Liu? Forget it."

Su Yu roared, "My teacher and the others can take this. But I can't. I refuse to acknowledge this favor. I don't owe them anything. Isn't it the responsibility of everyone in the Human Realm to protect a hero and the descendants of a hero? If you can't even do this, why should all these experts continue fighting for humanity on the battlefield?"

"Who are those heroes fighting for? For those selfish individuals whom these heroes don't even know? We might as well let the myriad races invade the Human Realm. Even the myriad races know the importance of talented individuals. Even the myriad races know the importance of morale. Even they know that those who have perished fighting on the battlefield are heroes. But is the human race aware of this?"

"..."

Silence enveloped the area.

Su Yu sneered, "I don't owe the Xia Family anything. I don't owe Great Xia anything. Even now, my father is still protecting the Human Realm in the Devil Subduing Army. He may be weak, but he is still fighting in all those wars to protect humanity. But look at how Great Xia is treating the descendants of a hero. Is this how a major prefecture of the Human Realm behaves? Since that is the case, I'll be leaving Great Xia today."

"Su Yu, how dare you question the Xia Family and the Human Realm!" Jin Yuhui berated, "There is cause and effect for everything! The multiple character faction has brought numerous calamities to humanity—"

Before he could finish his words, Zhu Tiandao grabbed him. Jin Yuhui activated his characters, but he was no match. Instantly, his characters were crushed while he found himself in Zhu Tiandao's palm.

With a smile, Zhu Tiandao said, "Alright. Stop talking. To be honest, everyone can see how the War Shrine and the Knowledge Seeking Realm are allowing chaos to spread in the Human Realm. Everyone has simply been keeping silent. Why bother saying all those lies? My old man is second-in-command at the Knowledge Seeking Realm yet even someone like me finds them unreliable. Why is a traitor like you running your mouth?"

Zhu Tiandao looked at Su Yu and said, "Well said. But it is human nature to be selfish. It's pointless to shout about it. Try to change it with your own hands. The weak are prey to the strong. This applies in the Human Realm as well. As for the words about guarding humanity that all those experts enjoy saying, they might be sincere three hundred years ago. But now, it's simply a catchphrase. Don't take it seriously."

If news spread that a prefect was saying such words, it would shock countless people.

Zhu Tiandao did not seem too bothered. He tightened his grip on Jin Yuhui, causing Jin Yuhui to cough blood repeatedly. With a smile, he said, "As a Sunmoon and a principal in Great Xia, Great Xia and the Knowledge Seeking Realm should be the ones to punish you..."

Su Yu frowned, but he remained silent.

Zhu Tiandao said, "But my old man is second-in-command at the Knowledge Seeking Realm. Do you know that? As long as my old man agrees that you can be executed, it's fine. I don't even need to care about Great Xia."

He grinned and announced, "Great Ming King commands that for betraying humanity and joining the Blood Fire Sect, Jin Yuhui is to be executed."

As for whether this order had really come from Great Ming King, it didn't matter. That was his old man. What was the issue of him borrowing his old man's name?

A loud bang rang out.

And a moon fell from the sky.
