Tribulation of Myriad Races

The divines were not the only ones who were confused. The masked individual from the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion was also in complete stupefaction. He hurriedly updated the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion about what he saw.

What the hell was happening? Tianduo was killed. There were no changes in the ranking, thus it was possible that the killer was not a young genius. Additionally, the killer might have hidden among the death spirits.

Nobody understood what was going on. But since the divines were still relatively calm, it was clear the items they bought were fine. Or perhaps the possibility was even scarier: not even the divines could see through the possible issue that might exist with their purchase.

Amid the crowd, Mo Duona's purple hair flipped about as his eyes shone brightly. Tianduo was dead. Or to be precise, he was killed.

But nobody had climbed in rank. In truth, he had felt that something was off about Tianduo since the very beginning. He wouldn't have gotten Zhaiyue to track Tianduo's location otherwise. At that moment, a certain thought rose in his mind.

It was perfectly normal for there to be no movement in the rankings. After all, there were plenty of young geniuses with higher ranks than Tianduo. Any of them could kill Tianduo without a change in their ranks.

Disguise...someone disguised as Tianduo? But there were also plenty of people out there capable of using disguises. And who was the person who had been using disguises the most recently?

Su Yu! The moment that name appeared in Mo Duona's mind, a massive shock spread through his mind. Su Yu! No way...right?

Was the Tianduo earlier...Su Yu in disguise? In that case, where was the real Tianduo? His sea of willpower was likely on Su Yu. That was why they had failed to discover anything wrong when they tracked him through bloodline tracking. When it was time to escape, Su Yu had finally destroyed Tianduo's sea of willpower to prevent further tracking. Thus, Tianduo had perished.

And because Su Yu was the killer, no changes could be observed from the index. This entire scene felt too similar to the incident caused by Su Yu back at Heavendoom City. Spawning death spirits in the city...

Most of the people involved in the hunt for Su Yu previously had died. And Su Yu had remained mostly hidden from these people from the start until the end. What happened today might be the answer to how Su Yu had done that.

He finally understood what happened.

Abruptly, someone roared madly, "Su Yu! It's Su Yu! He killed Tianduo! He disguised himself as Tianduo! Su Yu is the culprit!"

It was Dao Cheng.

He seemed to be on the verge of losing his mind as he looked at Zhan Wushuang, madness in his eyes, and roared, "Something is definitely wrong with the things you bought! The person earlier was Su Yu! He's hiding among the death spirits! We need to start killing these death spirits!"

Boom!

With that roar, he released an attack and killed a large number of death spirits. But that only caused more death spirits to appear. That shout reminded the mayor of something as the mayor also roared, "Stop! Everyone, stop! The more you kill, the more death spirits will appear! That will only make it harder to find it! Stop, you fools!"

Why were they still killing?

Killing would only increase the number of death spirits. At this rate, they would fill the city with death spirits. And after killing all these death spirits, a large number of Sunmoon death spirits would appear as well. Were they trying to die? Killing to find Su Yu wouldn't work.

Zhan Wushuang's expression changed again. Just what was wrong, exactly? Even now, he had yet to discover anything wrong. He had zero idea what the issue was. He had the corpse, the weapon, and the breathing technique, so what could be the issue?

Su Yu? The first-ranked index genius? If the seller was Su Yu, then there was definitely something wrong with the transaction. That would also explain why he had opted to run out of nowhere.

The mayor shouted, "Grandstar Guard, seal the city. Surround and search every single occupied building in the city!"

Damn it!

It didn't matter who the seller was. He only cared about his share. Where was his promised thirty percent share? Damn it! How dare that bastard fool him? The Sunmoons started spreading all over the city to search.

As for the humans, Qin Hao was still busy killing death spirits, albeit at a slower pace. Umbra and the others were also doing the same. Thus, more and more death spirits appeared in the city.

Su Yu?

If that was really Su Yu...neither Zhu Guangshen nor Qin Hao could imagine how bold Su Yu must be to pull out something like this. He had basically fooled the entirety of the myriad races.

The divines would most definitely send at least one Invincible after him if this was proven to be a scam. And when Zhu Guangshen's gaze landed on the two injured human Mountainseas carried by the general beside him...he became even more sure that this was Su Yu's work.

Holy shit!

Yes, it was definitely that fellow. No wonder he had randomly kicked two human Mountainseas toward them instead of returning the original Mountainseas they had used as the ticket. He had not given it much thought earlier, but now, everything made sense.

At that realization, Zhu Guangshen hurriedly sent a voice transmission, "General Qin, this is getting troublesome. We need to notify the Invincibles immediately. You'll notify Great QIn King while I'll notify my gramps. That damn kid is going to cause an Invincible to personally go after him!"

A lot of people might have perished during the Heavendoom City incident, but everyone knew that it had mostly happened due to a confluence of circumstances. But things were different this time.

Very few people had died this time. Tianduo was the only famous individual who had perished. However, that kid had scammed 2,300 strands of heavenearth profound light from the divines. And this entire thing had been orchestrated by him, unlike the Heavendoom City incident where he was merely reacting to the people trying to kill him.

The wealth he had on him was big enough to enrich even Invincibles. That only served to make him an even more attractive target. Zhu Guangshen swallowed nervously. This scam was simply too big. Not even Zhu Guangshen would have the courage to do something similar. And Su Yu had succeeded.

Qin Hao's eyes flickered. He said nothing and burned a drop of his blood essence to notify Great Qin King. He was unable to send a detailed message through this method. He could only send a simple message stating that something big had happened in the city and Great Qin King's presence was needed urgently.

Great Qin King was his father. He was essentially doing something similar to what Mo Duona and the others did when they were trapped in the Heavendoom City previously. But even now, he still felt like this entire thing was surreal.

Yes. It felt completely surreal. Su Yu? A scam? Even now, he was still asking himself if this was the greatest scam in the history of the myriad races. More importantly, the main victims were still completely clueless as to what the problem was. The divines still couldn't find the issue, and this was driving Zhan Wushuang mad.

Suddenly, the look in Zhu Guangshen's eyes changed as he transmitted his voice to Qin Hao, "Great Xia once gave a divine skywing corpse to Su Yu. That was the corpse of an eighth-stage Sunmoon."

Qin Hao's eyes widened. Not many people knew about that since that was too valuable a gift. Only a few people from Great Xia knew about it. As for Great Ming, only a few people from the Zhu Family and people like Niu Baidao were aware of that.

With this, everything became clear. Holy shit! The corpse was an actual eighth-stage Sunmoon of the divine skywing race. Traces of death qi could be found on it...and Su Yu had the ability to hide among death spirits...

Suddenly, the truth was unveiled before them. Qin Hao finally understood everything. Zhu Guangshen came to the same realization as well. He even started pitying the divines. He understood why the divines weren't able to discover the issue. The corpse was a real Sunmoon corpse. The ancient character was probably real as well.

But one thing was definitely fake. The corpse was not an ancient corpse. The breathing technique was probably fake as well. Su Yu was known as a gifted researcher. He had released numerous cultivation methods in the Human Realm. He was basically an expert in this aspect. There was no doubt that the breathing technique was fake.

Furthermore, Su Yu was also an earth weaponsmith. Thus...holy shit! Even that heaven weapon might be fake. The ancient character might be the only thing that was real. A peculiar look covered Zhu Guangshen's eyes when he understood everything. Good heavens. Who wouldn't fall for such a scam? Only Invincibles might be able to see through it.

Having understood everything, he hurriedly burned a drop of blood essence as well. He was contacting Great Ming King. This was the only way one could send any information out of an ancient city. They could only notify the Invincibles that they had encountered trouble in Grandstar City. That was all.

Zhan Wushuang was still confused, but he acted decisively, "Search! Search for the culprit!"

He couldn't find the issue, but there was definitely an issue. He had to pursue the matter. He had to find the culprit...who might or might not be Su Yu. As for the other Sunmoons, some were still blanking out while some were stealthily intensifying their search. If that was Su Yu...holy shit! That fellow was simply a walking treasure trove! Killing Su Yu would be the same as hitting the jackpot!

The Sunmoons continued spreading all over the city. Nobody cared about the fact that the city was being sealed. In fact, they welcomed it. That would guarantee that the culprit wouldn't be able to escape.

The mayor roared furiously, "Inspect all the death spirits! Stop killing them!"

At this point, over a thousand death spirits had appeared.

If they continued killing, more would appear.

Even when he was speaking, the death spirits were still increasing in number. He looked at the humans who were busy killing death spirits and said, "Qin Hao! What are you doing?"

Qin Hao laughed, "This is fun. Don't mind me. Relax, Mayor. It's not like you lost anything, right? By the way, I've notified my old man. He'll be here soon. Mayor, neutrality is a very beautiful stance to take."

The mayor's expression changed upon hearing that.

Great Qin King, the strongest human alive. He was not a Pseudo Emperor, but his combat strength was incredible. He was someone who had killed Invincibles before. Even if he wasn't a Pseudo Emperor, there was no guarantee that he was weaker than the existing Pseudo Emperors.

Someone like that was coming? He cursed inwardly. The city was a safe haven for him. Inside the city, he would likely be safe from even Invincibles. Even so, was he supposed to actually fight someone like Great Qin King? That would be unwise.

He was furious. Su Yu...was that really Su Yu? But from Qin Hao's words, that was most likely Su Yu. Damn that bastard! How dare that bastard scam him? Not only that, but that fellow had even caused his city to be sealed. Before long, Invincibles would start appearing as well. If a chaotic battle between Invincibles broke out within the city, even a mayor like him might die.

Of course, those Invincibles would suffer heavily as well. But why would that matter if he was dead?

After spending some time muttering a string a curses, the mayor roared, "All guards are to return to the mayor's residence. The mayor's residence will be sealed."

He had opted for neutrality. In fact, all ancient cities were supposed to be neutral. He had only interfered to earn a little profit because he had always been an overbearing presence. But since even Invincibles were starting to get involved, he decided to learn from Tian He of Heavendoom City and stay out of everything.
