Tribulation of Myriad Races-Chapter 1212: Big Furball And Grandstar (2)
Chapter 1212: Big Furball And Grandstar (2)
Nanyuan.
Marquis Xia was fiddling with a voice transmission talisman with a solemn expression.
After a long while, he said, "The Heavenly Hunt Pavilion has received a mission to kill me and those from the multiple character faction. The mission is too lucrative to refuse. The pavilion is preparing to join hands with the other parties and launch a preliminary attack on Nanyuan."
Hong Tan frowned, "Will they really join hands?"
"Yes." Marquis Xia nodded, "There is no doubt about that. The myriad races don't want to see us succeed. They are more than happy to see us remain in the dark about the traitor. They want us to remain in chaos forever. They don't have a reason to reject this proposal. Furthermore, they have always viewed the multiple character faction as their biggest threat. I expect them to reach an agreement before long."
Chen Yong asked, "Marquis, is the information accurate?"
"Yes." Marquis Xia smiled, "It's a hundred percent accurate."
Chen Yong nodded. He didn't think much of it. In fact, he was greatly impressed at the Xia Family for being able to infiltrate the pavilion so deeply. Furthermore, the marquis seemed to fully trust the spy. Clearly, the spy was someone important.
Hong Tan met Marquis Xia's gaze and smiled without elaborating. Since Chen Yong was unaware of the truth, it wouldn't hurt for him to remain in the dark for a little longer.
Hong Tan did not doubt that this information had arrived from Su Yu. He solemnly said, "There are quite a lot of Pseudo Invincibles gathered outside the city. If they join hands, we won't be able to stop them even with the help of Great Ming and Great Qin. The Sunmoons of the other prefectures are here as well, but most of their strongest combatants have left for the Allheaven Battlefield. The few that are still around might not necessarily be willing to help us."
All the top experts on the verge of dao affirmation were gone. The many potential new Invincibles were clearly more important than those from the Xia Family. In fact, it was beneficial for those potential new Invincibles to have Great Xia continue attracting the attention of the myriad races. For people like Great Qin King, there were times when a choice must be made.
Hong Tan sighed and said, "In truth, quite a lot of Sunmoons have arrived from the War Shrine, Knowledge Seeking Realm, and the various prefectures. Together, there are almost forty of them. Including the roughly forty Sunmoons already on our side, we might be able to put up a fight if we join hands."
This was still the Human Realm. With so many Sunmoons gathered together, it was natural that a large number of them would be humans. But these humans couldn't be relied upon. For example, people like Yuan Qingdong or the random lone Sunmoons from the various prefectures. Bringing all these humans together was probably harder than bringing the myriad races together.
Marquis Xia wasn't too bothered about that. He said, "It doesn't matter. It's not like they are strong enough to fight Pseudo Invincibles. Including those from the pavilion, the myriad races will be able to muster at least fourteen Pseudo Invincibles. We don't even know if there are more of them hiding around. But there is also no guarantee that all fourteen of them will act against us. The immortals still have many misgivings. The primordial giants might not care enough to interfere. The five elementals might also stay out of this. Only ten of them are sure to act against us."
Only.
Hong Tan grimaced. What a nice choice of words. Was "only" the right word to put in front of "ten Pseudo Invincibles"?
Administrator Hu said, "Marquis, do you think any of these ten is someone who has captured a future body with the combat strength of an Invincible?"
Marquis Xia said, "I don't think so or they would have been in the top ten of Dao Affirmation Ranking.
The future body that would grant one the combat strength of an Invincible wasn't something that could be captured so easily. A lot of people would only capture a future body from a second in the future. That was why some Pseudo Invincibles wouldn't be too powerful even after capturing two tri-life bodies.
Such people would capture a past body from a second in the past and a future body from a second in the future. That was essentially the same as bringing three ninth-stage Sunmoons together. Sure, someone like that was strong, but certainly not as strong as someone with a future body as strong as an Invincible.
Such a Pseudo Invincible could be killed by a genius eighth or ninth-stage Sunmoon. As for a Pseudo Invincible with a future body as strong as an Invincible, few Sunmoons could contend against such an opponent.
General Zhao said, "Even so, that is far too much for us to handle. We're here to lure the traitor out, not waste our effort fighting all these people. If the traitor isn't going to happen, we won't be able to die in peace even if we can kill off many of these Sunmoons."
All of them were prepared to face death. But that traitor must appear for their deaths to be worth it. And the traitor had yet to appear. It was not worth fighting a battle that would wipe Great Xia against the myriad races. At the very least, it wasn't worth it for now.
Ten Pseudo Invincibles and numerous Sunmoons. This was not a force they could handle.
Marquis Xia sighed, "If we really have to...we will have no choice but to use our trump card. If it's a battle they want, a battle they will get."
"Marquis...just who are we relying on to handle that Invincible?"
Administrator Hu and the others were very curious. They had also been very silent about their curiosity toward Profound Nine, the pavilion member who had killed Xia Xinyi yet saved Chen Yong and the others. They did not dare to mention Profound Nine for fear of reminding the marquis about his dead son.
Everyone was saying that the Xia Family had a trump card in place to handle the traitor Invincible. So what was the trump card?
Marquis Xia smiled, "No rush. You'll see. We'll wait a while. We wait for the myriad races to finish gathering up. We also wait for Liu Wenyan to finish his breakthrough. I hope he can really reach the ninth stage. That way, he might prove helpful during the battle as well. Perhaps he can even stop a Pseudo Invincible after reaching the ninth stage."
They all sank into silence as they waited with the expressions of people ready to face their heroic deaths. They were all aware that Great Xia might cease existing after this battle. Marquis Xia was clearly ready to fight until the very end.
This could very well be the final battle of Great Xia. As for Great Xia King and the others, they also had a bitter battle ahead of them as Xia Longwu's dao affirmation drew near. The moment enough experts were lured here, the dao affirmation would start.

"Heavenly Hunt Pavilion?"
"Is that Profound Nine?"
"How audacious. How dare he strut over to us."
When Profound Nine arrived among the divines with three late-stage Sunmoons, the divine geniuses and experts glared at him.
This was the same person who had killed some of them not long ago.
"Divine Lord Wushuang."
Su Yu greeted, "Profound Nine of Heavenly Hunt Pavilion is here. May I seek an audience with you?"
Zhan Wushuang walked out of a temporary residence that was also an earth weapon. He appeared completely calm, the fury and indignance of the other divines missing from his face. In the Allheaven Battlefield, it was normal for a friend of today to turn into an enemy tomorrow.
It would be perfectly normal for the pavilion to kill the divines and devils earlier before turning around to ally with them soon after.
Zhan Wushuang could guess why Profound Nine was here. He asked, "Do you have any business with us?"
Su Yu smiled, "Yes."
After a short silence, Zhan Wushuang invited, "Come in."
"Sure."
Su Yu grinned. It was much better to liaise with these young geniuses. As for those Pseudo Invincibles, he was not important enough to meet them.
Inside the hall.
Su Yu went straight to the point, "We received a mission to kill Marquis Xia, Liu Wenyan, and the others. We wish to join hands with you. The pavilion will deploy two enforcer elders for this task."
Zhan Wushuang wasn't surprised at all. He gestured at Su Yu to sit down before taking a seat himself. Shortly after, tea was served.
While drinking tea, Zhan Wushuang said, "Cooperation is a good idea. In fact, this is the best course of action here. But we still lack someone taking the lead. If the pavilion is willing to take this lead, we might be able to join hands. We all understand why we need to work together. But the distribution of work and rewards must be handled first. Also, we need a way to handle the Xia Family when they reveal their trump card. That trump card is supposed to be capable of handling Invincibles."
Su Yu nodded. Zhan Wushuang was very straightforward as well. The distribution of work and rewards were the biggest obstacles to cooperation.
Su Yu said, "I suggest we talk among ourselves first before forwarding the issue to the seniors. Let's invite Mo Duona and the other young geniuses from forces with Pseudo Invincibles here for a discussion. We can more or less represent our Pseudo Invincibles. If we can reach an agreement among us, we won't be far from cooperation."
Zhan Wushuang laughed, "I agree. But Brother Profound Nine, do you mind removing your mask?"
Su Yu laughed, "That won't be appropriate. The Heavenly Hunt Pavilion is the common enemy of the myriad races. This mask is my only protection."
Zhan Wushuang laughed in response. But when he noted the death qi swirling around Profound Nine, he sighed with regret. It was unlikely that Profound Nine would be able to live long if he didn't return to the ancient city soon.
He stood up and said, "I'll notify the others. It is imperative that we work together. After all, this is the Human Realm. We're all outsiders here."
"I'll be awaiting your good news."
Su Yu did not leave. Instead, he waited in silence.
The three late-stage Sunmoons with him also waited silently.
