Tribulation of Myriad Races-Chapter 1148: Im Actually An Expert Counterfeiter (1)

The meeting with the Myriad Race Cult did not last long. Su Yu was in no rush.

He spoke to the others, "Be on standby. We will start accepting missions again. I'll take a stroll in Nanyuan."

"Now?"

White One grew more confused. What was Profound Nine planning? At the moment, Nanyuan was filled with experts. That was a very dangerous place. What was the point of going there now? Could he even enter the city?

"I need to verify the ruin's existence. If I'm right, a lot of people will try to buy this information from us soon. The pavilion has a reputation to uphold. We need to verify the authenticity of the ruin."

Su Yu solemnly said, "It is possible that the ruin might be a fake ruin planted by the Xia Family to distract the myriad races while Xia Longwu attempts his dao affirmation. We need to be cautious. Provide this update for free to all the current index copy holders. Tell them to wait for my verification."

Right after those words were said, White One's heart thumped.

Profound Nine. What an incredible person.

Everyone was still busy going mad over the ruin, but Profound Nine was able to remain indifferent to all the distractions. In truth, the higher-ups of the pavilion had the same guess as well. The timing of the ruin's appearance was too coincidental.

It was amazing that Profound Nine had also reached the same conclusion. He was even offering to verify the ruin himself.

White One no longer dared to underestimate Profound Nine. Previously, he felt quite annoyed with Profound Nine for being so aggressive against the cult. But his view on Profound Nine had changed completely after hearing that analysis.

At this point, almost everyone was already certain that there was a ruin in Nanyuan. Too many clues were pointing out that there was indeed a ruin there.

Su Yu's rapid growth, the ruins in Xiyuan(West Origin), Beiyuan (North Origin), and Dongyuan(East Origin), the traces of heavenly source qi Profound Nine detected previously, Great Xia King's history in this city, and Liu Wenyan's history in this city. All those suggested that there was indeed something different about this place.

It was very likely that there was a ruin in Nanyuan(South Origin).

But now, Profound Nine was claiming that this might be a trap by Xia Family.

"Do we really release this information?"

Su Yu replied, "Yes. It is only a guess, but we need to warn everyone to stay cautious against the Xia Family. That has never been a family of pushovers. Their willingness to allow so many people into Nanyuan is in itself suspicious."

White One nodded in agreement, "Fine. I'll make the arrangements and update our customers. Profound Nine, if you can verify its authenticity and provide proof for it, this information alone will be invaluable."

"I will." Su Yu smiled, "As an ancient city resident, I can easily track the origin of the heavenly source qi in the city. Nobody is as sensitive as residents like us toward heavenly source qi."

"Be careful when entering the city." White One was somewhat worried, "There are numerous Sunmoons in the city. You might not be able to hide from them."

"It's fine. If I can hide even in Great Xia City, I will be able to do the same here. My concealment method works against most ordinary Sunmoons."

"Just be careful."

White One warned again. In his mind, Profound Nine was already an incredibly talented member.

Bold, smart, strong, and not easily distracted...

In short, Profound Nine's impression was improving rapidly in White One's mind. Previously, White One was still slightly unhappy that he had to listen to Profound Nine. But now, he had to admit that Profound Nine was indeed a reliable companion.

As for Su Yu, he disappeared quickly. In truth, everyone was still slightly suspicious of the ruin. In that case, he might as well be the one to point it out and verify it. Since he was going to act, he had to be serious about it, right?

If he didn't even find this whole thing suspicious, he would look too incompetent. He had to maintain his prestige as the leader of Great Xia operations.

***

Shortly after.

All index copy holders received a new update.

This was a friendly reminder given for free.

Everyone was advised to stay away from Nanyuan for now. The ruin might be fake. Su Yu's speculation was explained in detail. This might be a distraction for Xia Longwu's dao affirmation.

Everyone was told to wait for Heavenly Hunt Pavilion's verification. When they received the update, the index copy holders contacted their backers about this. Before long, this speculation started spreading.

The ruin might be fake. It might be a trap. As the number one information peddler in Myriad Realms, the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion would personally verify its authenticity.

Thanks to Heavenly Hunt Pavilion's reputation, everyone had a healthy amount of trust in their words. Thus, the attitude of the various experts in the Human Realm started shifting slightly.

***

Nanyuan.

Various experts had converged in this city.

Yuan Qingdong's friends were among these people.

At the moment, they were gathered inside a large villa in Nanyuan. People of both genders were present. Among them was a voluptuous woman. With a frown, she asked, "Why is Yuan Qingdong not here yet? Also, what do you think about Heavenly Hunt Pavilion's speculation? Do we trust them?"

"Zhang Ying, why are you so impatient?"

A young man smiled and said, "Due to his injuries, Yuan Qingdong will take some time to arrive. Great Xia City has just ended the lockdown today. He probably won't arrive so soon since he needs to nurse his injuries. As for Heavenly Hunt Pavilion's speculation...it is quite reasonable."

He continued, "Xia Longwu is on the verge of dao affirmation. At the same time, Nanyuan ruin starts surfacing. This is quite coincidental..."

Zhang Ying countered, "The Xia Family has never openly admitted that there is a ruin here. Su Yu's rapid growth is the reason everyone believes there is a ruin here. This has nothing to do with the Xia Family."

She greatly doubted the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion's words. In her opinion, this was probably a trick to get everyone to leave. That way, the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion would have a better chance at snatching the ruin for themselves. Her argument was reasonable as well.

A different person laughed, "That's possible. But we won't leave so easily. It honestly doesn't matter. We're safe here. No matter how arrogant the Xia Family is, they won't touch us. There is nothing for us to worry about."

The others nodded in agreement. They were all Invincible descendants. And the Xia Family still required the help of other Invincibles for Xia Longwu's dao affirmation. There was no way the Xia Family would harm them. In that case, why should they worry so much?

They only needed to wait and see. The truth would eventually be exposed.

Soon, they moved on to a different topic. Someone said, "I heard those geniuses trained in minor realms will be returning soon. I wonder how strong they are. Not long ago, I went to one of the minor realms to take a look. Some of them are already Mountainseas. There are also rumors that some are already Sunmoons. Is that true?"

The Sunmoon Realm was not so easy to reach. Even in Great Xia, Hong Tan was the sole multiple character Sunmoon. And each Sunmoon of the multiple character faction had always been stronger than the average Sunmoon. If they could produce their own multiple character Sunmoons as well, they would be able to surpass the fifth principal's line.

"Yes."

Someone laughed, "Zhang Ying, your family has been secretly training some of them as well, right?"

Zhang Ying rolled her eyes, "How am I supposed to know?"

They did not seem too concerned about this matter. The Zhang Family was one of the eight families running the Knowledge Seeking Realm. And this Zhang Family was not a family of a founding Invincible. Rather, their Invincible was someone who had ascended not long after the founding period.

The other founding Invincibles had to worry about both the Knowledge Seeking Realm and their prefectures. But the Zhang Family could fully focus on the Knowledge Seeking Realm since they did not have their own prefecture. Because of that, they were also quite influential in the Knowledge Seeking Realm.

Without their own prefectures, these Invincibles had more energy and resources to spare. Thus, they were also free to focus on developing the conquered minor realms. Meanwhile, the founding Invincibles were forced to dedicate a large portion of their resources on their prefectures.

"I have to admit that this Heavenly Hunt Pavilion is really quite convenient to have around."

One of them laughed, "If it wasn't for the fact that they are so new in the Human Realm, I doubt anything in the Human Realm can remain a secret from them. Since they're willing to verify the ruin, we'll wait."

The others nodded. They all held a high trust in Heavenly Hunt Pavilion's information-gathering abilities.

***

The various experts in the city were talking about this topic.

Similarly, the Martial Dragon Guard commanders stationed in Nanyuan were also in the middle of a meeting. A Sunmoon spoke doubtfully, "Old He, you're the first Sunmoon stationed here. In your opinion...how true are the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion's words?"

Was this really a distraction? That would explain everything that had happened recently. So all this was a scheme.

Old He frowned for a long while before answering, "We weren't the ones who first started to speculate about the existence of a ruin. Rather, everyone reached the same conclusion due to Su Yu. Back then, he claimed that the ruin was on the Starfall Mountain. Nobody doubted him. Eventually, those words were proven to be false. That was when everyone started shifting their attention to Nanyuan. The Xia Family...has done nothing to help spread this rumor."

This did not feel like Xia Family's style. The Xia Family had never involved themselves in the matters concerning the ruin.

After a short pause, Old He continued, "Of course, if this is really a scheme...it is also logical. This will answer why those outsiders are allowed to remain. I do hope this is a scheme. But I'm also worried that the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion's interference will cause this scheme to fail."

Everything seemed really complicated.

He could not help cursing again, "Those bastards from the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion are even more hateful than the cultists."

If this was really a scheme by the Xia Family, then those pavilion members were truly hateful. After all, it wouldn't benefit the Xia Family to have so many eyes on this ruin if this wasn't a scheme. The Xia Family would not benefit from having the ruin snatched by an outsider. How complicated.

Their hatred toward the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion continued growing. But despite their hatred, they still had to wait for the pavilion to verify the ruin. Even if the pavilion were to claim that the ruin was fake, nobody would take those words at face value before verifying it for themselves.

And if the pavilion confirmed that the ruin was real...then there would no longer be a doubt that there was a ruin here. As for the possibility that this was an act by both the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion and Xia Family...what a joke. Who would get Sunmoons to star in an act?

Just look at how many Sunmoons the pavilion had lost thus far. Even the Xia Family had lost a direct descendant, Xia Xinyi. There were also those dead military officials. The Xia Family had even imposed the first lockdown in centuries after suffering such a massive loss of reputation. How could this be an act?

Suddenly, a Sunmoon said, "A message from the marquis has arrived. We are to keep a tight watch over the city. The Heavenly Hunt Pavilion might arrive soon to verify the authenticity of the ruin. Profound Nine might arrive as well. Do not show him any mercy if he does show up."

"Yes!"

With that, they set off and released their auras. A Sunmoon commander roared, "The Heavenly Hunt Pavilion might try to sneak into the city. Everyone in the city, we advise you to release your aura to make your identity clear. If you refuse, don't blame us if you end up caught in the crossfire."

"If you have any information about the pavilion, you will be rewarded handsomely for reporting it to us."

"You will also be rewarded for every pavilion member you kill."

"A million merit points will be awarded to the killer of Profound Nine."

The entire city stirred. Numerous auras were released as a majority of the people there decided to be cautious lest they were caught in the crossfire and killed. Since the pavilion had claimed that they would verify the authenticity of the ruin, they might really try to sneak inside the city.

This city wasn't even that big. A hidden expert could be discovered very easily.
