Tribulation of Myriad Races

Chapter 395: Fishing In Troubled Waters (1)

The rapidly changing character merely laughed, "Xia Xiao\'er (Little Two), you sure have concealed yourself deeply. Eighth-stage Sunmoon Realm? What a surprise."

Marquis Xia, who had been smiling warmly earlier, suddenly raged. It almost felt like his fury could immolate the entire world. He hurriedly waved his hand to form a barrier around him, afraid that someone else would hear his real name.

"You damn bastard. You dare to address me by my name? You\'re dead!"

Marquis Xia was furious.

Yes. His real name was Xia Xiao\'er. His unreliable father, the same person who had given his greatest technique the Sky Sundering Countless Saber, was most certainly not a father capable of giving his own son a decent name. Thus, Xia Xiao\'er could only address himself as Marquis Xia.

"Dead?"

The illusory figure laughed as it started breaking apart. "I know you guys are trying to bait me out. But...who am I? There are too many Invincibles in the War Shrine and the Knowledge Seeking Realm. I am only one of them. And this is only a single character. My main body is not here. Go ahead and search for me! Hahaha!"

Go ahead and search. Would they even dare to investigate the two holy lands? Could they even find anything? No!

This wasn\'t the first time someone had suspected that there was a traitor among human Invincibles. But the Divine Characters one possessed had always been an important secret of every cultivator that would not be easily leaked. And most Invincibles cultivated both the willpower and physical paths. Thus, even the warriors in the War Shrine were owners of numerous Divine Characters. How were they supposed to find him based on a character?

Who could even investigate all these Invincibles? Who knew which Invincible had recently lost some characters? Who knew the number of characters each Invincible had?

The figure laughed and said, "Xia Xiao\'er, do you know why none of those people are here? Because it\'s pointless. It will only cause them to lose trust with each other. It is better to avoid unnecessary trouble. Since I am only targeting the multiple character faction instead of the entire human race, those people find no reason to act unless they know for sure who I am. What if I\'m doing this because of my personal grudge with that guy? He is already dead. Am I, a living Invincible, less valuable than a dead pseudo Invincible?"

Marquis Xia had an unsightly expression. Yes. That was the thought of the Invincibles. Not one or two of them thought so. Many of them shared the same view. Over these years, this traitor had only plotted against those from the multiple character faction. Nobody knew who he was, but he had never acted against anyone else.

Find out who he was? How? There was no way to find out his identity. If even Hong Tan could guess that there was a traitor among the Invincibles, how could the other Invincibles not guess the same?

Alas, there were too many Invincibles around. And the only way to find the true culprit was to have every Invincible open their sea of willpower wide for the investigator to examine. But that was impossible. Nobody would agree to that. And only several character clones had arrived today. The actual Invincible himself had not arrived.

Marquis Xia coldly said, "Don\'t be too confident. Do you think we really can\'t dig you out? Just wait. My old man has long discovered some clues. Since you have actually sent your character clones into Great Xia this time, you won\'t be able to keep eluding us."

"Elude?" The figure said, "Why should I bother? What is your proof? Are you going to arrest an Invincible and have him killed without proper proof? Are all human Invincibles supposed to just bend over and let Great Xia King behead them as he wishes? How about this? Kill Liu Wenyan and I will cease all actions."

"Fuck you!" Marquis Xia cursed and clenched his teeth furiously, "Did you steal the things left behind by the fifth principal?"

"Hahaha. Don\'t you already know the answer?"

"Damn you!"

Marquis Xia was furious. Sure enough!

"So it was really you! Back then, my old man said that the fifth principal had personally said that he had left some things behind before his death. It doesn\'t make sense that nothing was found among the fifth principal\'s possessions. And it also doesn\'t make sense that Hong Tan and the others would hide those things. So it was really you. Damn you!"

Marquis Xia was furious, but he quickly calmed down and asked, "Why? You are already an Invincible. Has the human race mistreated you? Is your father not a human? Why must you betray humanity?"

"Betraying humanity?" At that point, only a small part of the clone remained. "Have I betrayed humanity? I have been fighting against the enemies of humanity on the Allheaven Battlefield like the other Invincibles! I too am protecting the Human Realm! I merely hated that fellow. There was a grudge between us. I was simply pursuing my vengeance against him. What is the problem with that? It is a common occurrence for one to use the Allheaven Battlefield as the tool to eliminate one\'s enemies. Am I wrong?

"Am I suddenly a traitor of humanity just because I have killed a genius? Xia Xiao\'er, stop this selfless and impartial act. Even your old man had killed his human enemies on the Allheaven Battlefield back then. If he could do something like that, why couldn\'t I do the same?"

Marquis Xia coldly said, "Bullshit! The only humans my old man has ever killed are the members of the Myriad Race Cult!"

"Exactly." The clone laughed, "In that case, can\'t your beloved fifth principal be a cultist as well? Xia Xiao\'er, you\'re too naive. Can\'t he be a cultist? Do you think that he has never cooperated with the cult before? You have only chosen to believe what you wish to believe. The fifth principal, the hope of all human cultural researchers...is he really a good person? Is it really not possible that someone like him might actually be a traitor of humanity?"

The clone roared with laughter.

And finally, the final bit of the clone crumbled apart, ending the self-destruct process. Only some words were left drifting in the air, "Don\'t overestimate the so-called fifth principal. Even without me, he would still have failed his advancement 50 years ago.

"This is my final advice to you. Stop investigating. There is no need. This is the last time I\'ll make a move. If you keep investigating, you will only shake the unity and trust between the Invincibles. At that time, the Human Realm might really fall."

"Damn you!"

Marquis Xia was furious. In fact, that was exactly the reason the Xia Family had been remaining silent despite knowing some things.

Then, he removed the barrier around him and roared, "Damn you, sect master of First Divine Sect. Very well. I will be waiting for you to visit Great Xia in person. Stop hiding behind clones, you coward."

"..."

He followed that with another furious roar, "Martial Dragon Guards, heed my order. Sally out and wipe out all the Myriad Race Cult strongholds in Great Xia."

"Yes, sir!"

Team after team of Martial Dragon Guards departed with ferocious howls.

At the same moment, outside the Great Xia City, a bright saber appeared, illuminating the entire city.

Rumble!

In the sky, a moon rose up before shattering. Countless people looked over. All they could see was the fading saber.

Beside Su Yu, Zheng Ping exclaimed in surprise, "Who...did the prefect kill?"

A Sunmoon had just perished. Marquis Xia soared into the sky and scanned his surroundings. Abruptly, he roared, "The Blood Fire Sect master has just been killed. Serves him right. The Myriad Race Cult is truly audacious. They are actually trying to fish in troubled waters?"

Zheng Ping was alarmed. The Blood Fire Sect master was actually hiding near them? But he was truly unlucky to have attracted the attention of Xia Longwu. He was directly killed with a single slash of the prefect\'s saber.

Xia Longwu himself had not appeared. All everyone could see was that one slash. Meanwhile, the Martial Dragon Guards continued moving in all directions.

...

In the air, Liu Wenyan did not say a single word.

Looking at the distant Marquis Xia, an odd look appeared in his eyes. Suddenly, he swung his axe to his side. A loud pop sounded.

Shan Tianhao was instantly cut into two. Marquis Xia hurriedly raised his hand and hesitated to speak. But Liu Wenyan did not give the marquis a chance to speak and swung his axe again.

Boom!

Shan Tianhao\'s body was obliterated while all his Divine Characters shattered.

Only then did Liu Wenyan softly say, "He has been running his mouth for way too long. I still have to show some restraint out of respect for Great Xia for the locals. But since he is not someone from Great Xia, there is no need for restraint. I have been waiting to kill a Sunmoon. But it turns out the Sunmoon is actually a fake. What a pity."

He then looked at the distant Marquis Xia and smiled, "Fatty Xia, out of respect for you, I have spared these locals. But you don\'t expect me to hold back against these outsiders as well, right?"

As he spoke, he casually strode through thin air before swinging his axe again. A Mountainsea was about to flee when instantly, the air around him crumbled while his body exploded. He had been killed with one hit.

At that point, Liu Wenyan\'s face finally paled somewhat. He continued walking on thin air while sighing, "Looks like I won\'t be able to further investigate some matters anymore. And it looks like the hope I placed on your Xia Family was misplaced."

Marquis Xia was furious, "Misplaced hope? Without the Xia Family\'s protection, do you think you could have survived until today? Do you think your destroyed Liu Family can still protect you? During your stay in Nanyuan, my old man has spent a total of eight years personally guarding you there! If you\'re not going to thank us for that, just shut your mouth. Why are you still complaining?"

Liu Wenyan ignored the marquis. All around him, the Mountainseas were fleeing. Even a ninth-stage Mountainsea like Shan Tianhao had been killed with one hit. They naturally wouldn\'t dare to keep staying in the warzone. They had witnessed far too many shocking scenes today.

Not far away, Zhou Mingren frowned and said, "Liu Wenyan, you\'re already an arrow at the end of its flight. Do you really want to use your life to take another life?"

Liu Wenyan looked at Zhou Mingren and smiled, "Old Zhou, if you could reach the Sunmoon Realm, I would naturally fail to kill you. Today, nothing can stop me from swinging my axe at you once. I don\'t care if you have an agreement with the Xia Family. The only thing that matters is the fact that you are here to dig up Zhang Ruoling\'s grave. You uttered those words yourself."

To the side, Jin Yuhui was still receiving a beating from Hong Tan. At this point, his body was already badly damaged and even several of his characters had been destroyed. When he saw that, he hurriedly shouted, "Liu Wenyan, let me take this attack of yours!"

"Screw you!"

Hong Tan cursed in rage. This guy was trying to use this as an excuse to escape him when he was clearly winning. Dream on!

Liu Wenyan had crushed an Eternal character for this strength of his. After killing Shan Tianhao and a different Mountainsea, he was already like an arrow at the end of its flight. Thus, he was naturally no longer capable of killing a pseudo Sunmoon like Jin Yuhui.

Therefore, Jin Yuhui was clearly trying to take this opportunity to escape. Hong Tan swept his sword forward, completely destroying Jin Yuhui\'s banner. At this point, Jin Yuhui was finally starting to get desperate. A Divine Character appeared, instantly filling the sky with a sea of blood.

"Hong Tan, do you really think you\'re stronger than me?"

Jin Yuhui roared furiously.
