Tribulation of Myriad Races-Chapter 1333: A Farce (3)

Su Yu smiled, "Xuan Wuji and Dao Cheng of the immortals lack tempering. That was why they believed it a good idea to play such tricks in front of Invincibles. How boring. Just accept that you're not very bright. If you really want to make a move, you might as well assassinate Zhan Wushuang. That would have been far simpler than this. Or you could have sent a third party like the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion to tail and record the killings since you knew what he was doing in advance. Instead of that, you had opted to follow him yourself and add some kills on top of his kills. Look at how that backfired on you. How idiotic."

"..."

Everyone looked at him.

He laughed and said, "Why are you looking at me? I did nothing. That was merely a guess of mine. But the truth is probably not far from that. Just ban all three of them. That's the easiest way to solve this issue. I don't really care since they didn't try to kill me this time. Those minor race fellows sure are pitiful. They don't have the courage to say or do anything even after losing so many people. I understand. The divines and immortals are major races. Who dares to provoke them? If they want to kill you, just shut up and die. This is the reality for the minor races. This is how the world works. Don't worry about it too much."

Someone coldly said, "Mayor Su, you must be kidding. We have no proof—"

Su Yu interrupted the speaker with a yawn and said, "Don't waste my time with this. It's not like the victims are my children or something. Why should I care about them? Also, do you think Invincibles really care about the deaths of some Mountainseas and Sunmoons? I don't care, and I'm not even an Invincible. For Invincibles, Mountainseas and Sunmoons are the same as ants. Would you care about some dead ants?"

"Enough." The white-haired divine king said, "Must we embarrass ourselves in front of the juniors?"

He looked at Xuan Wuji with a frown and continued, "Xuan Wuji, where did you receive these recordings?"

The look in Xuan Wuji's eyes changed. After some hesitation, he said, "My apologies, Lord. I suspect...I was fooled."

Suddenly, he sent a palm attack at a minor race Mountainsea. As the Mountainsea burst apart, Xuan Wuji gnashed his teeth and said, "This man lied to me. I was too foolish to take his words seriously. Clearly, I had misunderstood Brother Wushuang. I had foolishly allowed someone to manipulate me like a puppet."

"..."

This was indeed a farce.

With the death of a minor race Mountainsea, the matter ended.

Su Yu laughed with amusement. Clearly, they believed that everyone would need to take the blame if they allowed the farce to continue. Thus, they had decided to let the matter end and pretend it never happened.

Since both Zhan Wushuang and Xuan Wuji were unwilling to confess, what could they do? Were they supposed to search the memories of the two? Rewinding time was not feasible considering this matter involved geniuses like Zhan Wushuang and Xuan Wuji. They would not let such an obvious loophole around.

With a sigh, Dao King said, "Wuji, do be less rash in the future. You're too young. You need to learn patience. How could you fall for such lies? Fortunately, everything is a misunderstanding. Let's end the matter here."

He then addressed everyone, "As for the murders, we will investigate the matter properly. Do not let such a trivial matter affect what's important. The Luminous Domain Mansion will open soon. We don't have much time to waste. Let's return to business."

Su Yu was naturally not concerned about that. He sent the white-haired divine king a voice transmission and asked, "Lord Divine King, where's my carrier treasure? Brother Wushuang is perfectly fine now. I did you a big favor there! Without me smoothing things over, I doubt he could get off so easily. If he had been banned from the mansion, the divines would suffer a massive loss."

The white-haired divine king cursed inwardly. A carrier treasure for only a few words from him? Were carrier treasures so easy to make?

Dream on!

Furthermore, it was merely a secret agreement. He was more than happy to renege on it. Thus, he directly ignored the question. If Su Yu wanted a carrier treasure, he should go get one himself instead of asking for one.

Su Yu wasn't bothered. He was still smiling widely. However, he wouldn't forget this debt. One way or another, the divines would pay.

Suddenly, Great Zhou King's voice rang out in Su Yu's ears, "You shouldn't have helped smooth things over. Removing Zhan Wushuang from the competition would benefit humanity as well. Of course, I'm not ordering you here. I'm merely giving you my opinion. The divines are no friends of ours. There is no need for you to involve yourself. With this involvement, you have offended the immortals as well."

In Great Zhou King's opinion, it wasn't wise for Su Yu to get involved. He should have allowed the divines and immortals to clash. By involving himself, he had offended the immortals without gaining any benefits for himself. It was obvious that the immortals had been trying to get rid of Zhan Wushuang.

Su Yu merely smiled without giving a reply. Offending the immortals? So be it. Why should he allow the immortals to enjoy sole domination here? Without Zhan Wushuang, wouldn't things get a lot more boring? Su Yu told himself that Zhan Wushuang was his brother. How could he ignore a brother in plight?

At that thought, he waved at Zhan Wushuang and said, "Brother Wushuang, don't be scared. The matter is over. If you encounter more trouble in the future, feel free to look for me. Don't forget the blood essence you're buying for me. Try to complete the purchase as soon as possible."

Zhan Wushuang ignored him and returned to the group of divines silently.

Nevertheless, this little episode had made one thing clear to everyone: there was definitely an agreement between Zhan Wushuang and Su Yu. Zhan Wushuang wouldn't have handed the blood essence to Su Yu earlier otherwise.

With a smile, Su Yu sent the white-haired divine king a voice transmission, "There is no need to ignore me, Lord Divine King. The divines won't suffer a loss by cooperating with the ancient cities. My friendship with Brother Wushuang was forged through battle. That's the strongest kind of friendship. With the chaos within the devil race and the immortal race's growing ambitions, I reckon the divine race will receive their attention soon. You won't lose anything by cooperating with me. In fact, I love the divine race the most. If you don't mind, you should marry a divine lady to me. We can form an alliance by marriage. I am very easy to work with."

"..."

The white-haired divine king frowned. Alliance by marriage? Was the kid serious?

Su Yu continued, "Of course, I will need to request a small dowry for the marriage. With only three carrier treasures, you will get me as an ally. I'm very cheap!"

Piss off!

The divine king cursed inwardly. He must be dreaming.

But why did this feel so familiar?

Suddenly, his gaze landed on Xia Huyou. Then, he started cursing again. Yes! The Xia Family! Xia Longwu's son.

That bastard was someone with a prestigious background. Yet he had been acting like a coarse barbarian. Recently, he had been offering to form marriage alliances with many races. And he had managed to tempt quite a lot of races.

With his prestigious background and the rumors that he was the next prefect of Great Xia, a marriage offer from him was extremely tempting for many. Furthermore, his demand for dowry had also been quite cheap. Mostly, he would ask for ten strands of heavenearth profound light, three to five drops of sunmoon profound yellow liquid, and ten or so earth weapons.

Such treasures might be valuable, but they were also quite affordable when an entire race was footing the bill. For many, this was a cheap price to pay for an alliance with Great Xia King and Carnage King.

Unfortunately, the offer had been made to way too many people. In the beginning, nobody knew that he was making that offer to everyone.

But before long, rumors started spreading that he had given the same offer to seventy or eighty families. That infuriated a large number of people. What manner of alliance was this if he was taking so many wives at once?

That was not all. He was also shameless enough to give even the minor races the same offer.

Just two days ago, he had given the same offer to the poor fire hog race. Seeing that they were too poor to afford his dowry, he had settled with a thousand fire hog bodyguards as the dowry.

The white-haired divine king inhaled deeply and looked at Su Yu again. How shameless! The human race was getting more and more shameless!

Or to be precise, the humans of this epoch were all shameless. Perhaps this was a product of the desperate situation they found themselves in during this epoch. In the previous epochs, the humans had always been bold and domineering. They had never been so shameless before.

The divine king couldn't be bothered to entertain Su Yu's proposal. He said, "Stop wasting our time for such trivial matters. Let's verify our combatants today. Tomorrow, we will start the competition. Remember, the combatants can only fight within their stage."

The final statement was clearly meant for Su Yu.

Su Yu shrugged indifferently. It was pointless to argue about this. He would receive no support. After all, Su Yu alone would be able to snatch hundreds of slots if the combatants were allowed to fight across stages.

Someone capable of defeating Su Yu in the same cultivation level had yet to appear. As he looked at his newly received blood essence, he smiled. It had been quite a while since he last opened a new page. Perhaps he could open a few new pages today.

Hopefully, there would be some cultural researcher blood essence among the collection he received from Zhan Wushuang. As for the competition, he wasn't worried about that. With him around, the victory for those in the ninth-stage Cloudbreach Realm would only go to him.

If he won more slots than he could use, he could always sell the extra. Furthermore, the ancient cities had also selected twenty combatants for the competition. They could probably win some slots as well. With thirty-six cities, they should be able to at least win a small number of slots, right?

***

As Su Yu lounged about lazily, Xuan Wuji and Dao Cheng were feeling both helpless and furious. With a sigh, Dao Cheng started playing with his characters in silence. He had nothing else to say here.

He had thought that the plan was perfect. But in the eyes of others, his plan was but a joke. He looked up at Su Yu, who was seated on his floating throne above the ancient city as the look in his eyes changed repeatedly. Was Su Yu totally out of his reach now?

Could he do nothing about his dead fiancée and dead teacher anymore? Was pursuing his vengeance no longer possible?
