Tribulation of Myriad Races-Chapter 1182: Fair (2)

Before long, Silverwing was done telling Su Yu all he knew. It wasn't like this was a big secret. He only felt like it would be unwise to report something unconfirmed like this. Since so many sect masters were present during the meeting yesterday, this matter wouldn't remain a secret for long.

Su Yu was stunned.

Holy shit!

What was going on?

Was this...an attempt to distract everyone?

In that case, was it possible that Lan Tian was on their side as well?

But it was hard to say. Perhaps the First Divine Sect master was really being smeared. Su Yu only knew that it was becoming more and more likely for Lan Tian to be working with Wan Tiansheng. Otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen to make such a speculation at a time like this.

Even now, the traitor might still be trying to test Wan Tiansheng's strength. After all, Wan Tiansheng had simply been too talented back then. It was normal to be suspicious of him. But in light of this new rumor, the First Divine Sect master would also receive the traitor's attention. It didn't matter if he was actually Nan Wujiang or not. Meanwhile, Wan Tiansheng would appear much less suspicious.

Su Yu snorted. Just look at those two talking through voice transmissions to hide this from him. What even was the point?

He looked at Silverwing and spoke out loud, "Well done, Silverwing. The next time you hear something like this, reportit to me immediately. I'll verify the information myself."

Then, he tossed a drop of sunmoon profound yellow liquid over. Silverwing was completely dumbfounded.

Holy...

This guy was way too generous.

Was a random gossip like that even worth this much? Meanwhile, the eighth elder was stunned as well. He cursed inwardly. Was Profound Nine being so wasteful because he thought he wouldn't live for long? Yes, he had earned a lot recently. But sunmoon profound yellow liquid was still not something one could give out casually like that.

Titanic Strength was stunned as well.

What?

Su Yu laughed, "Interesting. First Divine Sect master...Nan Wujiang...how interesting. You might not know this, but I love solving mysteries. If we can verify this information, I believe we'll be able to easily sell this information for several hundred drops of Sunmoon blood essence."

Finally, Titanic Strength realized what was happening.

Holy shit! Silverwing had actually earned a drop of sunmoon profound yellow liquid just by passing on something so many of them knew.

Su Yu said, "Eighth Elder, if the headquarters can't verify this information, I wish to take some people with me and investigate it. If this is true, Nan Wujiang must be planning something big. That's the only reason someone will hide himself so deeply. Looks like things are going to get more and more interesting in the Human Realm."

The eighth elder rolled his eyes. There was no point in trying to hide this anymore. He said, "I'll check with the Yellow Department first. If they can't verify this information, you can try to investigate. This might be very important."

Su Yu laughed, "Will do. Eighth Elder, that guy is also a very dangerous person. Perhaps he's even trying to scheme against Invincibles. He's too strong. If I need to investigate him, I'll need to borrow Titanic Strength and the others for a bit. With them, the five Sunmoons already under me, and First Profound Elder, I'll have twelve early Sunmoons, five middle Sunmoons, and three late Sunmoons in the group. Including me, we'll have twenty-one Sunmoons. I suppose this is enough to deal with even the First Divine Sect master."

The eighth elder had never thought about this before. But after hearing Su Yu listing them out, he couldn't help but hesitate.

Twenty-one Sunmoons!

That was too much power to concentrate in the hands of a single white mask. Then again, Profound Nine would only be the temporary leader. He wouldn't gain full control over these experts. That was the only reason this arrangement was still acceptable.

"What about Nanyuan?"

Su Yu said, "There's no rush. We can focus on clearing the surroundings first before focusing our strength on those within Nanyuan. That place will erupt in chaos sooner or later. But the current peace will likely remain until the ruin emerges."

He laughed and continued, "We'll allow chaos to keep festering in the Human Realm. From what I know, the humans aren't really united. A lot of human experts are forcing the Xia Family to open Su Yu's house to everyone. We'll wait and see how things develop."

The eighth elder nodded and looked at Titanic Strength, "Titanic Strength Sect master, you know the Myriad Race Cult better. You also know more about the First Divine Sect master than us. If you don't have any objections, may I suggest you assist Profound Nine with this task for now? The First Divine Sect master will remain an uncontrollable variable regardless of whether he's Nan Wujuang. Lan Tian is also a variable. I much prefer to have both variables dealt with before we start making our move on the ruin."

The sect master looked at Su Yu in silence before nodding, "Fine. If I only need to provide him some support instead of taking orders from him, I can accept this arrangement."

This was his final attempt to save some face. This way, he could claim that he was assisting instead of taking orders from Profound Nine.

"In that case, please inform the other sect masters about this. During your time in the Human Realm, you will be receiving your tasks from Profound Nine."

"Sure."

Titanic Strength said nothing else. His agreement was as good as the agreement of the other sect masters. He was only here as a puppet. They had been maintaining contact with each other even while he was negotiating with the pavilion.

The eighth elder smiled. What an encouraging development. Profound Nine had performed admirably this time. He had picked the perfect timing to make their move on the Myriad Race Cult. This was their best opportunity to do so since everyone else was too focused on Nanyuan to interfere with what they were doing.

The pavilion wouldn't have been able to subdue all these people so easily at any other time. Everything had been going smoothly, as though fate itself was smiling at the pavilion.

Just look at how the two strongest leaders of the cult had ended up as suspected spies at such a crucial moment. Without this convenient scandal, neither of them would be able to easily ruin the pavilion's attempt at subduing the cult experts.

One could even say that the pavilion had gained enough experts to offset what they lost recently. While entering the Human Realm, they had lost an elder. Another elder had betrayed them while a few enforcers and white masks had been killed. But they had gained almost the same number of experts just by subduing these cult experts.

The eighth elder was very satisfied with the role Profound Nine had played in this. In addition to these cult experts, they had also gained the intelligence network the cult had established all over the Human Realm. Furthermore, they had also gained a large number of Mountainseas and Cloudbreaches from the cult without losing much.

This was such a massive gain. Just by subduing all these cultists, the pavilion's position in the Human Realm had stabilized considerably. Very few powers could match their current strength in the Human Realm anymore.

He sent Su Yu a voice transmission, "Profound Nine, no matter what, you still need to be more polite toward the two late-stage Sunmoons. After all, they will be your colleagues in the future. However, don't fully trust them. Remind First Profound Nine to keep an eye on them."

"Yes, Elder. Don't worry. I know what to do."

"Good. Also, if you have no way of verifying First Divine Sect master's identity, don't force it. Even if he's really Nan Wujiang, we won't be his target. But you still need to be careful. If he's Nan Wujiang, that unknown Invincible will be his true target. Be careful and try to avoid getting involved with that Invincible."

Su Yu answered, "I understand. I'll also try to investigate more about that Invincible while I'm at it. I suspect that Invincible will probably test First Divine himself after hearing about this. Eighth Elder, I'll have to trouble both you and the third elder to be on standby as I might require assistance at any time."

"Sure."

The eighth elder agreed readily. All these people were potential competitors for the ruin anyway. It was only a matter of time before the pavilion clashed against them. Gathering more information about any potential competitor would thus be a wise action to take.

After all, the third elder was also leading a force of about ten late Sunmoons. If they were to lose all their forces in the Human Realm both he and the third elder would not be spared by the pavilion. This would be a disastrous loss for even the pavilion.

***

After the negotiation, Titanic Strength and the other sect masters stopped hesitating and convened with Su Yu's group. They were all given white masks.

This was different from Silverwing and company, who were only given black masks when they joined. But they didn't mind this much either since they all understood the difference in strength between them and these newly joined sect masters. All five white masks were temporarily assigned under First Profound's command.

Feeling talkative, Su Yu sent First Profound a voice transmission, "Look at you, Elder! You're now the most powerful elder in the four departments. Including me, you have about twenty Sunmoons under you, with two late-stage Sunmoons among them! If you include yourself, you can even muster a force with three late-stage Sunmoons!"

"Are you a Sunmoon?" First Profound snapped, "Stop talking like you're a Sunmoon as well."

Had this little shit forgotten his real cultivation level? Was the little shit not ashamed of saying that? Then again, the little shit was right. He had indeed become the most powerful elder in the four departments.

Apart from Lan Tian and the First Divine Sect master, almost all of them had submitted to the pavilion, and the bulk of these former cultists were now under his command. Naturally, his calculation did not include the smaller sects who were too weak to be considered.

In the eyes of Su Yu and his elder, a sect without at least one Sunmoon was not a sect. They were only good for serving as cannon fodder. For example, some sects were led by mere Skysoars. It was likely that these Skysoars didn't even have a way of contacting the races they were supposed to represent.

In short, excluding the First Divine Sect and Original Devil Sect, all the other sects of note had submitted to the pavilion.
