Tribulation of Myriad Races-Chapter 1316: Gathering (1)

Outside Liu City.

Su Yu stepped through the gate to enter the city. This was his first time here, and his first impression was that the city was quite a busy place.

It was a decent place.

There were quite a lot of people in the city. The biggest difference between this place and his city was the lack of death qi. Generally, one would not enter an ancient city unless there was no other option.

That wasn't the case for Liu City. Thus, there was a lot more life to this city. Humanity was the main population in this city.

The few non-humans in the city would keep a relatively low profile since this place could be considered a part of the human territory. This was the same for the territories of the divines, devils, and immortals. The members of the other races would also maintain a low profile when they were there.

Some people noticed Su Yu, but they ignored him since they didn't know him. Some recognized Liu Hong's appearance he was using, so they were quite surprised. Then again, they did not have that big of a reaction either. With the recent deaths, the grudge between the single and multiple character factions had seemingly faded away.

In Great Xia, the legacy of the multiple character faction had been severed since the faction was no longer operating there. Could this be considered a victory of the single character faction?

Not really. This was a loss to the greater character faction. With them gone, Great Xia would no longer be known as the number one land of character cultivators as their strongest character masters were gone.

That was none of Su Yu's concern. With Liu Hong's face, he went straight to the mayor's residence.

Su Yu was aware of the secret dealings between Liu Hong and Bai Feng. Thus, this was quite an appropriate face for him to use. The mayor's residence here looked larger than even the mayor's residence in his ancient city. However, the architecture and design of the residence looked rather rough.

There were several guards in front of the residence. They were all Skysoars, so they weren't too weak. However, they also looked rather careless and lazy. Through his observation, he noted that they might be vultures. They all looked as thuggish as the vultures that he had seen before.

In fact, during his first trip out of the human headquarters in the Allheaven Battlefield, a group of vultures had followed him to loot his corpse when he died.

Noticing Su Yu's flowing white robes and scholarly appearance, the guards smiled politely and asked, "Sir, who are you looking for?"

Su Yu asked, "Is Bai Feng here?"

"Researcher Bai Feng? Yes. Lord...can you give me your name so I can notify Researcher Bai about this?"

"Liu Hong."

The guard wasted no time and went inside the residence.

Since Liu Wenyan had recently returned, things were quite simple in the city. These guards were merely the vultures and lone travelers he had recruited. Thus, things weren't that strict yet.

Before long, the guard returned. This time, he was no longer smiling as he said, "Researcher Bai told you to piss off. He's too busy to see you." novelbuddy.cσ๓

"..."

Su Yu sighed at how heartless his teacher was. How could his teacher be so heartless toward Liu Hong?

His teacher should learn from him. He had been so polite toward Liu Hong. He had even invited Liu Hong to the mayor's residence for tea. Meanwhile, his teacher was telling Liu Hong to piss off without offering anything else. How cold.

After muttering to himself for a bit, Su Yu laughed and raised his voice, "Little Bai, I'm here to discuss something with you. Why don't you show yourself?"

After a short moment, Bai Feng appeared. He had been busy discussing the matter of willpower purification with Wu Lan. Thus, he was quite unhappy to be interrupted. "Liu Hong, why are you here? Are you courting death? Piss off. I'm too busy to deal with you."

Abruptly, he coughed and added, "Come on in."

His attitude had changed completely. That wasn't because he had seen through Su Yu's disguise. Rather, he had noticed the strand of heavenearth profound light Su Yu was playing with. Bai Feng might have grown wealthier than before, but he could still appreciate the value of heavenearth profound light.

Inside, he reached for the strand of heavenearth profound light and said, "How courteous of you to come bearing gifts. You really shouldn't."

Su Yu had the urge to roll his eyes. Clearly, his teacher was still the same. He was fine with everything the moment money was involved. Without money, he wouldn't give Liu Hong the chance to even open his mouth.

This was indeed a great method to handle someone like Liu Hong.

What were you saying? Nope, I'm not hearing anything. Oh, you're here with money? Sure, come on in.

Outside, the guards were completely stunned.

One of them even looked fearful at the prospect of accidentally offending a guest of Bai Feng. When he looked at Bai Feng, Bai Feng said, "The next time you see this guy, tell him to piss off. Only notify me if he comes bearing bribes."

"..."

Wow. How straightforward.

Su Yu laughed, "Brother Bai, you're too materialistic."

Bai Feng sneered, "You would be dead by now if it wasn't for all the contribution points you have given me in the past. By the way, how are you so good at staying alive? Zhou Pingsheng died. Zhou Mingren died. Yu Hong died. So many people died, but you're still alive."

Su Yu smiled, "That's all thanks to your care, Brother Bai."

"Pfft!" As he walked, Bai Feng said, "Just be out with what you have to say. I'm a busy man. Say what you want and leave."

"For a strand of heavenearth profound light, you need to let me get a lot of words in, right?"

Su Yu said, "I see that you're finally a Cloudbreach. Congratulations, Brother Bai."

"Are you insulting me?"

Bai Feng was furious. Was this guy insulting him? So what if he was a fresh Cloudbreach? Was it embarrassing to be a Cloudbreach? Was this guy really trying to insult him?

"..."

Su Yu was rendered speechless. What was this temper? Back then, Bai Feng had a much better temper. Was he acting like this because it was Liu Hong? Or had he been too stressed recently?

Su Yu couldn't be bothered to push more of Bai Feng's buttons, so he moved on to a different topic, "Not at all. By the way, are Instructor Liu and Elder Hong here as well?"

"Heh."

Bai Feng sneered again and said, "You're dreaming of meeting them? Sure. Ten strands of heavenearth profound light, and I'll take you to them. You are free to go if you're not scared of death. I can't be bothered to waste more time with you. You need to be grateful you're still alive after all the scams you pulled off pretending you're Martial Uncle Zhang Ruoling's student."

Then, he snorted coldly and asked, "Explain. How do you have a character technique? Apparently, you scammed many Invincible descendants with that character technique of yours. How are you still alive? You sure are lucky."

Su Yu said, "That's not worth mentioning. Why don't we meet Elder Hong and the other first?"

"Wait, are you being serious?" Bai Feng exclaimed, "Are you not afraid of being beaten to death?"

"Why should I? Elder Hong is a kind man."

Bai Feng looked at Su Yu with surprise. Was this guy really not afraid? How odd.

As he walked, Su Yu smiled, "Let's go, Brother Bai. It will be fine. By the way, I heard that the slot allocation of the Luminous Domain Mansion has been finalized. Did you receive a slot?"

"That's none of your business."

After a short pause, he turned to look at Su Yu and asked, "Are you going as well?"

"We shall see." Su Yu asked, "By the way, I heard that your cousin will be going as well. Is that true?"

"That's none of your business."

"Will your grandpa be here to protect him?"

"That's none of your business."

"..."

Su Yu laughed and said, "I heard that Old Man Bai is having some difficulties with his health..."

Bai Feng frowned, "Are you asking for a beating? Or are you asking to die?"

"Not at all."

Su Yu smiled. For some reason, he loved seeing his teacher flipping out. Before long, he reached the back garden of the residence. He was surprised to see so many familiar faces, including Wu Lan. Even Wu Jia was there.

And those beasts as well.

These were all familiar faces. Oh, there was a new face. Was that a pig? No..was that the suanni?

Su Yu was utterly confused. How did the suanni grow into something like this? Back then, the suanni looked quite imposing. But now, the suanni's appearance had been completely ruined.

Liu Wenyan and Hong Tan noted his arrival. The two looked surprised. Then, they looked at Bai Feng questioningly. Why did Bai Feng take this guy here? How odd.

More importantly, why was this guy even here? Was he not afraid of being taught a lesson by the people here? He might have been a rival of Bai Feng for many years, but he had not done anything truly bad. He had also risen quite highly in the single character faction.

With the recent deaths, the survivors of the single character faction like Zheng Yuming and Hu Wensheng had been keeping an extremely low profile. Why was this guy strutting around like they were still in power?

Su Yu was just about to say something when he heard Wu Lan saying to Hong Tan, "Even beating Su Yu to death won't change anything. I don't understand how it happened. Stop asking me about this, Elder Hong. If you want, just go beat him to death in the ancient city."

"..."

Su Yu shut his mouth. What were they talking about before this? Why were they talking about beating him to death? Wu Lan noted Su Yu's arrival as well, but she merely gave him a glance before losing interest. Instead, she squatted down and started playing with the soil again. The soil was a lot more interesting to her.

Hong Tan did not continue the topic with Wu Lan. He looked at Su Yu and asked, "Liu Hong, what business do you have here?"

Su Yu cupped his hands and smiled, "Yes. I overheard Wu Lan talking about beating Su Yu to death. What was that about? I'm quite curious about that."

"..."

Hong Tan frowned with displeasure. That had nothing to do with an outsider like Liu Hong. Still frowning, he looked at Bai Feng. Why did Bai Feng take this guy here?

Su Yu smiled and continued, "I'm really very curious. Su Yu is such a great man, such an obedient child who is filled with filial piety, handsome, respectful to his seniors, and kind toward everyone. Why do you want to beat someone like that to death?"

"..."

Silence descended. They all looked at him with bizarre expressions. What the hell was that? Had this guy gone mad? Or was he so desperate for Su Yu's favor that he was doing this to fawn on Su Yu?

Suddenly, Liu Wenyan asked, "What comes after the fourth move?"

Su Yu smiled, "What fourth move are you talking about? We're talking about Su Yu. He has a bright future ahead of him. I am very optimistic about his future. I believe he is the hope of humanity and the Myriad Realms. He is an Invincible in the making..."

"..."

Hong Tan, Liu Wenyan, Chen Yong...

All of them looked at each other uncertainly.

Had Liu Hong gone mad? Or perhaps this Liu Hong wasn't really Liu Hong? Was that...the case? Wasn't that fellow supposed to remain in his ancient city?
