Tribulation of Myriad Races

He raised his head and took a good look at his surroundings. He really needed to leave. This damn place was feeling more and more dangerous nowadays. Even Zhou Mingren had found himself an excuse to leave. Why should he stay?

As for the people he would offend doing this, why should he care? Would Invincibles go after him just for such a small amount of money? After all, he was getting less than a hundred thousand merit points from each family. For such a small amount of money, not even Sunmoons would make a move.

As for the Mountainseas, they wouldn\'t dare to do anything openly. This was an illegal transaction. They wouldn\'t dare to do so. Furthermore, he had indeed not claimed that he was selling Hong Tan\'s disassembly method. He had merely claimed that he was selling a disassembly method. Thus, these people wouldn\'t be able to find a proper reason to punish him.

Of course, they could always make his life hell. But that did not matter. He was going to leave soon. Why should he care?

"If I really need to, I\'ll just roam the Allheaven Battlefield. With so many merit points, I can even buy some precious resources from the military there. After a few years in the Allheaven Battlefield, all these people would probably get tired of hunting for me..."

As he thought about all that, he looked in the Heart Cultivating Pavilion\'s direction. Staying was not an option. The events that were about to unfold in Great Xia were not things he could get involved in.

The buyers of his disassembly method would take several months to determine if it was really the real deal. By the time they found out that it was useless, he would no longer be around.

"It\'s a pity I have to expose my character technique, but it doesn\'t matter. I\'m not the only person with a character technique in the world. There are plenty of people like me out there. It\'s not like I\'m from the fifth principal\'s line..."

Liu Hong smiled. He would flee as soon as possible after making enough money. As for his two students...they might be implicated slightly. But they would be mostly fine since the scam had nothing to do with them. With that man in the Heart Cultivating Pavilion, nobody could do anything too rash.

His two students would be fine in the academy. And when chaos fully descended, those people would be too busy to deal with the two kids anymore. He also had a teacher who had been remaining in seclusion.

There was nothing he could do about that. But that wasn\'t a bad thing. At the very least, his teacher would stay uninvolved.

After making up his mind, Liu Hong started heading toward the Foreign Students Faculty. He would use his identity as a teacher there to get close to these myriad race students and earn some money there. The divines, devils, immortals, and demonic beasts were all pretty well-off. Even if they weren\'t rich in cash, it was fine. They would definitely have plenty of valuable resources on them. They wouldn\'t enter the Human Realm with empty pockets, right?

"Fortunately, Su Yu is not here anymore. Otherwise, he might have started scamming them even earlier than me. After all, his reputation as a seller is better than mine. One month. In that time, I\'ll leave for the Allheaven Battlefield!"

At this time, his thoughts returned to Cui Lang. He cursed inwardly. That damn fellow was such a good liar. He had been happy for nothing. That damn scoundrel had offered 150,000 merit points like it was nothing.

"I need to ask Bai Feng out for a meal. And I need to ensure that some people will see us together. I need to show the public that I\'m Bai Feng\'s friend..."

At that thought, he took out his communicator and called Bai Feng. The moment the call was answered, he said, "Bai Feng, your teacher is making my life hell. Without Faculty Head Zhou around, my life has been very hard..."

"Why should I care about that?"

Before Bai Feng could hang up the call, Liu Hong hurriedly said, "Wait, I have something important to tell you. Do you want to meet up? I can pay you a thousand merit points just for this meeting with me."

"Why are you so generous?"

Bai Feng was stunned. Since when did this fellow become so generous? A thousand merit points just for a meeting?

Bai Feng said, "Two-no, five thousand merit points. I am a very important person now. It\'s not cheap to meet me."

"Fuck off. Two thousand. Yes or no?"

"Deal. Where do you want to meet? I\'ll be there."

"Let\'s meet at our usual place. I\'ll be waiting. Be careful. A lot of people are keeping an eye on you nowadays. I don\'t want to get dragged into your troubles."

"I\'ll be there."

Bai Feng was overjoyed. Wow. What a rich guy. Two thousand merit points just for a meeting. Had Liu Hong gone mad? Why was he spending merit points like water?

***

Su Yu was unaware that Bai Feng was going to voluntarily act as Liu Hong\'s prop for only two thousand merit points. Su Yu was finding Liu Hong increasingly mysterious. He still didn\'t know what type of person that cunning fellow was exactly.

Even if Su Yu knew that Liu Hong was brazen enough to scam a million merit points in one go, he wouldn\'t think that it was wrong. He would only think that this fellow was too smart and sharp.

Liu Hong was not going to stay behind and enjoy his position as a researcher anymore. Clearly, he had sensed the arrival of danger. And he was right. Great Xia was currently filled with danger. Even the Allheaven Battlefield might be a safer place.

Of course, without money, the Allheaven Battlefield would just be as dangerous as Great Xia. Liu Hong would still need to earn his cultivation resources through battles. But if he could leave with a million merit points, he could find a good hiding place to seclude himself or even stay in the main headquarters full-time. Either of those options would be safer than staying in Great Xia.

Meanwhile, the pitiful Bai Feng had unknowingly assumed the role of a prop just for the sake of two thousand merit points. He was fortunate that Su Yu was unaware of this. Otherwise, Su Yu would probably end up losing a lot of respect for that teacher of his.

Why had he allowed himself to be bought for a cheap price of two thousand merit points? How embarrassing. Of course, if this was a few months prior, even Su Yu himself might have volunteered to act as Liu Hong\'s prop for only twenty merit points.

***

A storm was heading toward Great Xia. Those with sharp senses were starting to sense the arrival of a crisis. Some opted to leave directly, some opted to earn some money before leaving, and some opted to stay.

As for Su Yu, he was also planning to leave. That general from Great Jin had started an investigation in Nanyuan. Perhaps he would head to Great Xia City to look for all the people who were in Nanyuan during that incident soon. Su Yu had to leave before that general was here. Things might get troublesome if he waited.

His eleventh body forging was near completion and his willpower was also on the cusp of a breakthrough. He did not meet Wu Jia to persuade her to leave. Rather, he left a letter for her. Xia Huyou would hand her that letter after his departure.

Xia Huyou had also spent a million merit points to purchase five hundred portions of heavenly source qi from Su Yu at a price of two thousand merit points per portion. He had probably used the money in Xia Family\'s treasury for that.

Su Yu didn\'t even have enough heavenly source qi to complete the transaction. Thus, he had to spend several days extracting enough heavenly source qi for the sale. He even gave Xia Huyou several cultivation methods for free. He knew too many cultivation methods and a lot of them were unsuitable for him. For example, those with terrible side effects or those requiring self-harm to be cultivated. He had handed all these cultivation methods to Xia Huyou.

He also checked with Lin Yao several times about Liu Hong. According to Lin Yao, Liu Hong had been spending his time in the Foreign Students Faculty for the past few days. He seemed to be getting along well with the students there.

Liu Hong had not asked Su Yu about the purchase after their previous meeting. Clearly, he had found himself a new buyer.

***

Finally, the 8th of June arrived.

This was the day Su Yu was leaving. He would make a stop at Great Jin before heading straight to the Allheaven Prefecture. There, he would exit the Human Realm and enter the Allheaven Battlefield.

As for Liu Hong\'s character technique, he only told Xia Huyou about it so that they could keep an eye on Liu Hong. He did nothing else as that was none of his business. The Xia Family would deal with this.

He also left some things behind for Bai Feng and Hong Tan, such as some heavenly source qi and hundreds of thousands of merit points. He had earned a lot of money during his time in Great Ming. He still had about 1.4 million left after his previous purchases. He left half his remaining money to Hong Tan and Bai Feng. He didn\'t know if money would help, but this was the best he could do for them right now.

That night, Su Yu departed quietly.

He traveled alone. Before leaving, he looked back at the Great Xia Cultural Research Academy behind him. He would definitely return to this place again. At that time, he would return with his own name and appearance.

Not long after Su Yu\'s departure.

Wentan Research Center.

When Bai Feng received Su Yu\'s gift from Xia Huyou, he stared at Xia Huyou for a long time before he sighed and said, "I am regretful."

He did not mention what exactly he was regretful about. Perhaps...he shouldn\'t have gone to Nanyuan back then. Without him, Su Yu would definitely be in a much better position right now. Alas, their relationship as teacher and student had shackled Su Yu.

Bai Feng lay down on the couch and stared blankly for a very long time. He was feeling very regretful. If he had known that the multiple character faction would be faced with such circumstances, he wouldn\'t have accepted Su Yu as a student back then.

"Sorry."
