Tribulation of Myriad Races

Chapter 730: Bai Feng's Return (2)

The sect master regained his calm. He scanned the group behind him and said, "We will continue. We've gone this far. What else can we do apart from killing Chen Yong? Even if we flee to the battlefield, the six-winged divines won't offer us shelter. Who would want to take in garbage like us?"

"Worse comes to worst, we can go and become bandits somewhere."

One of them protested, "The Allheaven Battlefield is filled with bandits. In every race, there are peaople who can no longer survive in their homeland. Becoming bandits there is better than being hunted down like rats in the Human Realm."

"We still need to kill Chen Yong or we won't even have the resources to relocate and rebuild. The myriad races are offering bounties for the heads of Su Yu, Hong Tan, Chen Yong, Liu Wenyan and Bai Feng. Killing either of them is enough to make us rich."

"In that case, why don't we go after Bai Feng?"

"Idiot! Bai Feng is in the Vanguard Regiment at the Allheaven Battlefield. Are you going to kill him there? Great Qin King himself is there. Are you going to go?"

The other Mountainseas were rendered somewhat speechless to hear that suggestion. That wasn't possible. In the end, Chen Yong was the easiest target. But they didn't feel like continuing this pursuit. It was too dangerous.

"Let's go. They won't be able to escape. If they were the ones who had killed Liu Qi, they must have suffered heavy injuries. I can smell the blood in the air. We can't give up when we're this close. If we leave now, we'll have to start from scratch. Things will still be hard for us at the Allheaven Battlefield."

The Mountainseas were unwilling to continue, but they had no means of leaving the Human Realm without the sect master. They also needed the sect master to protect them against the Sunmoons hunting them. Thus, they had no choice but to stick with the sect master.

Not long after the group of cultists left, the air warped as Director Hou appeared. Next, General Zhao appeared at the same place with a spear in hand. When he scanned the area, he frowned.

Director Hou asked, "Little Zhao, did you find anything?"

"No."

General Zhao did not elaborate, but he was feeling quite suspicious. A high-ranking military official, Liu Qi, had been killed. General Zhao had checked the corpse personally and he had noticed something. As he had arrived fast enough, he was able to sense a familiar aura in the area.

That so-called familiar aura...was the aura of the Soul Devouring Art. Chen Yong had relied on the Soul Devouring Art to kill that military official. General Zhao himself had cultivated this art, so he was able to easily detect its aura.

For now, only the early cultivators of this art could reach this level of mastery over the art. After all, it hadn't been around for long. And who were the early cultivators of this art? Chen Yong was definitely one of them.

But that didn't make any sense. Why would Chen Yong want to kill Liu Qi? Also, Chen Yong had just broken through not long ago. Was he even capable of killing Liu Qi so easily? Killing a high-ranking military official was a crime punishable by death.

That would not change even if he was a member of the multiple character faction. In fact, not even someone from the Xia Family could get away from that. The only way one could escape punishment for such a crime was to have proof that Liu Qi was a criminal who deserved death.

General Zhao was not sure how to feel about this. He knew too little to make a judgment. And before knowing more, it wasn't appropriate for him to reveal too much.

Director Hou did not notice anything. He sighed and said, "They are too hard to track. I don't know why but I keep having a feeling that Chen Yong is deliberately avoiding us."

His intuition was telling him that.

Otherwise, Chen Yong and Feng Ji could have hidden in a large city with an Invincible family. There, the Six-Winged Divine Sect wouldn't dare to try anything regardless of how brazen they were. Causing trouble right in the territory of an Invincible family was the same as suicide.

Yet Chen Yong and Feng Ji had not done so. Instead, they were moving toward all sorts of remote locations. That did not make any sense. The Six-Winged Divine Sect might be on the hunt for them, but the sect was definitely not capable of fully sealing all their paths. If the sect could do that much, they could have killed the two long ago.

Instead, it felt like Chen Yong and Feng Ji were the ones intentionally luring the Six-Winged Divine Sect all over the Human Realm. They could choose to fully flee or fight it out, but they chose to do neither.

Director Hou was feeling very helpless. He had promised to save Su Yu's martial uncle...but that damn martial uncle was such a troublesome fellow. Or to be precise, every single one of these damn multiple character faction members was an expert troublemaker.

Su Yu had created trouble in Great Ming and caused the deaths of five Sunmoons. Hong Tan was creating trouble in Great Xia. Nobody had died yet, but things were getting more and more chaotic there.

Bai Feng was on the way back from the Allheaven Battlefield. He would probably cause some trouble during his journey as well.

There was also Liu Wenyan. With his presence in the Vanguard Regiment, he would constantly attract the attack of numerous myriad race experts. Because of that, the Vanguard Regiment had suffered heavy casualties as of late. It was said that Zheng Yuming and Elder Ma of the single character faction had nearly perished because of that.

After all, they were all stationed in the Vanguard Regiment. When Liu Wenyan was attacked by the myriad races, they would all suffer as well.

"Troublesome. And annoying."

There were only a few of them, but they were causing trouble everywhere. The multiple character faction was truly great at stirring trouble. Director Hou sighed helplessly and continued his search. It had been a while since he last tasted his favorite wine and tea. His life had been terrible ever since he started this search.

***

At the same time.

Bai Feng was indeed on his way back.

He had yet to reach the Human Realm. Several Mountainseas were escorting him. Things were mostly safe for him since he was still near the Vanguard Regiment. After all, this was an area Great Qin King himself was guarding.

Before long, they arrived near an encampment. This was the headquarters of the human race in the Allheaven Battlefield. Countless soldiers were stationed here. They were instantly scanned by numerous experts. And before long, a Sunmoon flew over. The Sunmoon asked, "Great Xia Cultural Research Academy's Bai Feng?"

"It's me."

Bai Feng answered with a nod. The Sunmoon narrowed his eyes and said, "It has been a while since I last returned to the Human Realm. I heard you once used the disassembly method created by Hong Tan. Is that true?"

Bai Feng nodded, "Yeah. But only Skysoars can use it. And it's very troublesome. Honestly, it's quite pointless for most people. You need to have a character technique if you want to make use of it."

"It only works for those with character techniques?"

"Yes."

The Sunmoon frowned. Was that true? In that case, this method would greatly drop in value as only the multiple character faction could utilize it.

"Bai Feng, my king wishes to recruit you into Great Shang and promote you to a senior researcher. You will also receive a hundred drops of divine and devil blood essence as a bonus. You will be allowed to reopen the Multiple Character Faculty in Great Shang. Are you willing, Bai Feng?"

Bai Feng smiled, "Forget about that. I'm not capable enough for that. I've been relying on my teacher. Since my teacher is reopening the faculty in Great Xia, I should just go back and help him out with it."

The Sunmoon narrowed his eyes and said, "It is very dangerous for you to return now. And the trip back might not be so peaceful. Great Xia is currently lacking in manpower. They don't have any expert to escort you. Returning with only a few Mountainseas is too dangerous..."

"It's the Human Realm. How dangerous could it be?" Bai Feng smiled, "If things are really that dangerous, my teacher will be here already."

"Your teacher...won't be able to easily leave Great Xia for now."

There seemed to be a hidden meaning behind those words. Hong Tan might be a Sunmoon, but it would still be very dangerous for him to leave Great Xia. The Myriad Race Cult had been very active as of late.

They also suspected that a large number of myriad race experts had sneaked into the Human Realm recently.

Bai Feng merely answered with a smile. Suddenly, the portal nearby flickered. One expert after another stepped through it.

One of them was Xia Yunji. He smiled and said, "Little Bai, looks like we're on time. You're here."

Xia Yunji, Hu Ping, and Zhao Mingyue had arrived.

When the Sunmoon from Great Shang saw them, he hesitated slightly before asking, "Xia Yunji...why are you here? Are you here to pick Bai Feng up? Watch out for any Sunmoon attacks on your way back. The cult has gotten crazy recently. Even the myriad races have gotten crazy. Is Great Xia not sending any Sunmoons over?"

Xia Yunji smiled, "There is no need for that. And we can't afford to move so many Sunmoons for now. It will be even more troublesome if the cult decides to attack Great Xia after we move our Sunmoons out. As for Bai Feng...he's not a core person of interest. The cult won't go too crazy for him."

When Bai Feng heard that, he grudgingly said, "Martial Uncle Xia, I believe I am very valuable. I am a capable assistant to my teacher. Without me, my teacher won't be able to produce anything useful."

Xia Yunji laughed, "Is that so? Your teacher said that without a troublemaker like you around, he has been able to work much faster."

"That is absolute nonsense."

Bai Feng vehemently denied it. Forget it. Even though he was the real creator of the disassembly method, he was too weak to come clean. Fine, fine. He would graciously allow his teacher to tank the heat. He would assume the role of an assistant instead.

At this moment, a Mountainsea arrived. From afar, the newcomer laughed and asked, "Bai Feng, do you still remember me? The prefect said that if you wish to go back home, Great Ming's door will always be open for you. Also, not long ago, we killed five Sunmoons and fifteen Mountainseas. The world was shocked by our might. The cult will not have the courage to do anything in Great Ming anymore. Your student, Su Yu, is going to be promoted to a senior researcher soon. The academy is even proposing to make him an honorary elder of the academy..."

Honorary elder!

Senior researcher!

The moment Bai Feng heard that, he rolled his eyes, "Things might be different before you say all that, General Huang. But after hearing all that, I would rather die than return."

What was this? Was he supposed to live off his student? Forget it! He would feel better living off his teacher instead. What was this guy thinking?

Also, his student was living a great life in Great Ming. If Bai Feng went there, what about the disassembly method? After all, he was the true creator, not Hong Tan. Were they supposed to release it in Great Ming instead? Wasn't that the same as courting trouble?

He wasn't planning to return, but he still felt jealous of his student. He looked at Xia Yunji and said, "Martial Uncle Xia, what is Great Xia giving me? Am I getting any rewards or promotions?"

Su Yu, honorary elder and senior researcher.

What about him? He was still an assistant researcher! He couldn't accept this! This was too embarrassing!
