Tribulation of Myriad Races-Chapter 1280: To Be Shameless Is To Be Invincible (1)
Chapter 1280: To Be Shameless Is To Be Invincible (1)
Grandstar City.
People were still streaming into the city.
Everyone was terrified that Su Yu would seal the city and kill everyone again, but there were very few safe locations one could stop and rest these days. Apart from Grandstar City, the only alternative was Red Clouds Island, the island under clearbright bird race's control.
But that race was too weak. Thus, nobody was confident in their ability to enforce peace in their city.
Meanwhile, it had been a month since Su Yu was last sighted in Grandstar City. The city had not been sealed during that time. Additionally, those from the major races were also trying to spy on him. Thus, people had been entering the city nonstop.
As for the nine realms in the vicinity, they had been quite lucky. Of the six new minor race Invincibles, one of them came from one of the nine realms. That one advancement elevated the said race into a relatively powerful race. A large number of people from the nine realms could be seen in the city as well. Some were even considering rebuilding their island.
But they were still worried so they decided to send a representative to discuss the matter with Su Yu. No matter how safe an ancient city could be, it wasn't a place one could stay for more than three days. Having an island in the area would make things easier for everyone.
Even though Su Yu had been silent for a month, the top experts and young geniuses were still too wary of entering the city. Thus, numerous temporary buildings or grottos could be seen floating all around the city. Most of these people were here to observe the coming assembly.
Outside the city.
A massive dragon was flying arrogantly ahead with numerous people hurriedly moving out of the way. The dragon race held a lot of power in the Sea of Stars. In fact, not even the divines or devils had as much influence as the dragons in the Sea of Stars.
The divines and devils had lost some Invincibles during the recent conflict, but the dragons had not lost any. Sure, one of their Invincibles had lost two tri-life bodies, but that was still much better than dying. freēnovelkiss.com
But soon, someone said, "No...this isn't a dragon from the Dragon Realm."
The said dragon was clearly a tamed dragon. Several individuals were riding atop the powerful dragon, making it clear that this was a tamed dragon.
Those with the courage to tame a dragon before openly riding the dragon in the Allheaven Battlefield would not be weaklings. A lot of people could see that the dragon was at least a Sunmoon.
Before long, they noticed a group of soldiers following behind the dragon. These soldiers were clad in golden armor, and the design of the armor was not something everyone was familiar with. Clearly, these were not the soldiers of one of the more well-known armies in the Allheaven Battlefield.
However, the banner carried by the soldiers was not unknown to them.
Xia.
These were the soldiers of Great Xia. Understanding dawned on many of the people there. The dragon was most likely the mount of Great Xia Cultural Research Academy's second principal. An eighth-stage Sunmoon white dragon.
Of the greater dragon race, a celestial dragon was known to have nine claws, a golden dragon was known to have eight claws, and a white dragon was known to have seven claws. The three were also considered the top sub-races of the greater dragon race.
"The people from Great Xia are here."
"Su Yu was born in Great Xia!"
"They might have lost their Martial Dragon Guard and a lot of Sunmoons and Mountainseas recently, but Carnage King was able to complete his dao affirmation. Additionally, a lot of their experts have returned. I suspect Great Xia is now stronger than before."
"Who's the visitor?"
"No idea. But since he's carrying the banner of Xia...is this a direct descendant of Carnage King?"
Numerous people started speculating.
Soon, someone recognized one of the people atop the dragon. "Isn't that Huang Teng?"
"Who's the fatty beside him? That's only a Skysoar. Don't tell me that's Carnage King's son. He can't be this weak, right?"
"Are you kidding? How could Carnage King produce a son with such a silly and kindly appearance?"
"Yeah. That's probably Marquis Xia's son. Not long ago, there were rumors that his son was killed by Su Yu. Looks like that was a lie. He must have lost only his body. This is probably his newly recultivated body. Well, he does resemble the marquis a lot."
For most people, they only needed to know that this was someone from Xia Family's direct line to adjust their behavior accordingly. Even among the myriad races, the Xia Family could be considered a powerful family.
After all, that was a family with two Invincibles, with Great Xia King being an Invincible second only to Pseudo Emperors in strength. As for Xia Longwu, he was an Invincible who was capable of slaying Invincibles right after his advancement. Furthermore, the likes of Nan Wujiang and Wan Tiansheng were also members of Great Xia.
If it wasn't for the recent chaos, Great Xia would have surpassed Great Zhou in strength. Marquis Xia the Pseudo Invincible, Yun Chen the Pseudo Invincible, and even Su Yu were all members of Great Xia. This was not a prefecture one could afford to underestimate.

Atop the white dragon.
Huang Teng was clad in a rough hemp garment, his legs bare, giving him the perfect image of an old farmer. The only thing he lacked was a smoking pipe hanging from his mouth. He was laughing with amusement as he said, "Prince Huyou, are you hearing this? See, I'm not the only one saying that you look more like the marquis. Everyone agrees with me."
Xia Huyou was laughing as well. "It doesn't matter. I'm already used to this. Brother Teng, when will you reach the seventh-stage Cloudbreach Realm?"
"I still need a little bit of time." Huang Teng glanced at Xia Huyou and asked, "Prince, are you sure Su Yu will agree to meet you? That guy...feels quite proud. I believe he still harbors anger toward Great Xia. Even his teacher and the others have left. Are you sure he's friendly toward you?"
Xia Huyou smiled, "We're decently friendly. Don't worry, Brother Teng. It will be fine..."
For some reason, Huang Teng felt very suspicious of Xia Huyou's smile. It was as though Xia Huyou was scheming against him.
When they reached the gate, Xia Huyou's voice rang out, "Envoy of Great Xia, Xia Huyou, requests a meeting with Mayor Su of Grandstar City."
That served as a confirmation of his identity to the people in the area.
Xia Huyou!
He was really Carnage King's son. Many of them shook their head in disappointment. How did a descendant of two Invincibles grow into something like this? What an embarrassment to his sires.
Abruptly, a figure appeared atop the mayor's residence. It was Su Yu, clad in fluttering white robes. He looked especially eye-catching in the dusky city.
"Xia Huyou."
Su Yu was quite surprised, but he soon smiled and said, "Come on in."
Outside the city, the white dragon transformed into an old man before entering the city with the laughing Xia Huyou and the others. In the blink of an eye, Xia Huyou was brought to the entrance of the mayor's residence.
He regarded Su Yu for a short moment before smiling, "I brought you some gifts. Since you're now a powerful overlord, I doubt I can offer you anything interesting. I don't wish to insult you with some worthless items so I decided to bring you your foe."
After saying that, he pointed at Huang Teng.
Just look at how understanding he was to come bearing Su Yu’s foe. Huang Teng blanked out for a short moment before turning around to flee.
Before he could even take a step forward, Su Yu appeared before him with a flicker. With a smile, Su Yu greeted, "Huang Teng! I suppose this is our first proper meeting. Greetings."
"..."
The two had met several times in the past, but they had never gotten the chance to meet properly. Thus, this could be considered their first proper meeting.
Hemp garment, barefoot, and short hair. At a glance, one would never believe that this was the famous Huang Teng, a genius known throughout the Myriad Realms. He looked more like a farmer or a hunter from the woods.
He looked old, but at a closer look, one would be able to see that he was actually quite young. He was merely dressed like he was old.
Flashing him a smile, Su Yu introduced himself, "Hello. I am Su Yu, a student of Bai Feng. You are familiar with my teacher, correct?"
"..."
Huang Teng cursed inwardly. When he glanced at Xia Huyou and noted the cheery smile on Xia Huyou's face, he cursed inwardly again. He knew this damn fatty was scheming something! No wonder the fatty had been smiling at him the entire journey!
That was a very shifty smile. And sure enough, the damn fatty had sold him off with the same shifty smile.
Xia Huyou offered, "Brother Su, just give him a couple of beatings. Please don't kill him. It will be hard for me to explain that. After all, he is the face of Great Xia's younger generation. It is quite a pity that he has an unpleasant mouth."
Throughout the journey, Huang Teng had not stopped talking about how he looked like Marquis Xia. The damn bastard had even asked if Xia Longwu and Marquis Xia had ever fought over a woman in the past.
If it wasn't for the fact that Xia Huyou was weaker, he would have given Huang Teng a beating himself. Fortunately, he had the option of presenting Huang Teng to Su Yu.
Su Yu smiled and explained, "Back when I left Great Xia, I left with only two wishes. Firstly, I wanted to kill everyone who has ever wronged us. Secondly, I wished to avenge my teacher. I recall a certain someone had given my teacher three beatings."
Huang Teng forced himself to smile and said, "You must have misunderstood me, Mayor Su. Those were perfectly normal spars. In spars, it is normal for there to be victory and defeat. I had most certainly not bullied him..."
Why were they making him out to be some evil barbarian?
Su Yu smiled, "Brother Huang, I saved you at the Skyrend Valley previously. But you have yet to show even a sliver of gratitude. That is quite improper, don't you think?"
Huang Teng continued smiling as he said, "Well, I wasn't able to keep up with you. In truth, the one you saved back then was Wu Qi. Sigh. How could you be such a heartbreaker? Since her fateful meeting with you, she has not been able to sleep and eat well..."
Boom!
Su Yu did not feel like saying more so he responded with a punch. It was clear this guy was very good at talking. In that case, it was time to use his fists. According to Bai Feng, one should resort to force when one couldn't win an argument.
But soon, Su Yu laughed in amusement. He hadn't even used much force in that punch. But somehow, Huang Teng had flown incredibly far away. He did not bother to expose the fact that Huang Teng was using the opportunity to flee. He also wasn't worried that something bad would happen to Huang Teng alone. A genius like him would not die so easily. He would have died long ago otherwise.
After dealing with Huang Teng, Su Yu looked at both Xia Huyou and the white dragon before saying with a smile, "Please come in."
He then turned to face those outside the city and warned, "I can't be bothered to waste any time on you for now. Don't try anything stupid. What is there to spy? Are you trying to see if I'm dead yet? Don't worry, I'll make sure to drag everyone in the city to the afterlife with me before that happens. Maybe I will drag a few Invincibles to the afterlife as well. Don't even dream of seeing me dead before I get to see a few Invincibles dead."
"..."
Silence descended.
He was too arrogant.
Yes, some of them were here to check if he was dead. After all, the death qi in his body was already so thick that one would almost believe that he was a death spirit. Thus, a lot of people were disappointed when they saw that he was still as lively as ever.
Sure enough, it was very hard for people like him to die. Even if he hadn't remained on the Heaven Index for long, he was still once the top-ranked genius on the index.
Someone asked, "Mayor Su, since Great Xia has sent its envoy here, can the other powers, including the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion, send their envoys into the city then? Even armies at war will not slay their envoys."
"Heavenly Hunt Pavilion?"
"Yes." Su Yu smiled, "Which department are you from?"
"Yellow Department."
Su Yu nodded and asked, "So you're a white mask in charge of gathering information? In that case, you'll have to offer me your respects. Come on in. We're family. I'm now the new First Profound Elder. Remember to be obedient when you're facing an elder like me."
Sounds of discussions erupted around the city. An elder of the Profound Department? What? He had stolen Profound Nine's identity previously, but had the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion promoted him into an elder instead of kicking him out?
What was this? Had the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion gone mad?
Su Yu ignored them and landed on the ground. The gate of the mayor's residence swung open, revealing Senior Wang. He had yet to fully complete his conversion into a resident, but he was here to greet the visitors. Xia Huyou blanked out slightly before returning the greeting. He was quite surprised to see Senior Wang here.
