Tribulation of Myriad Races

Chapter 873: Shit Stirrer (3)

After a while, a massive valley appeared before Su Yu. Instead of gathering in one group, the people by the valley had gathered in separate groups, keeping a healthy distance between each other. The most conspicuous of them all was the group of devils.

There were about a dozen of them there. A youth with a flame symbol on his forehead was speaking. With a powerful aura rippling out of his body, his voice rang out, "Huang Teng and Wu Qi are already heavily injured. They are both hiding in the Skyrend Valley. You can definitely get a heavenly reward by killing them. You might even get natural characters or natural powerful weapons from the reward.

"It is very hard for human experts to cross the Plain of Desires and reach this place. There is no hope of survival for Huang Teng and Wu Qi. I know that none of you trust the others enough to work together. But that is not needed. Most of the Skyrend Valley is flooded with violent saber qi and some other powers. There are only a few select paths with weaker saber qi they can use to leave. We only need to keep watch over those paths. Before long, a new name will sit atop the Earth Index."

Su Yu, who had just arrived, loudly said, "All devils are not to be trusted! The saber qi here was left behind by Great Xia King. Huang Teng might be capable of controlling the saber qi here and kill us! The devils definitely have a trump card capable of evading the saber qi. They are hiding it from us and using us as meatshield! Maybe they're even trying to use us to exhaust the saber qi in the valley! Isn't this a common trick? Devils, hand over the way to evade the saber qi or all of us will join hands to kill you! We'll also get heavenly rewards from killing you guys!"

"..."

A suffocating silence descended.

Numerous geniuses started sending their willpower over to scan the newcomer.

Fuck!

Where did this dumb guy come from? Then again, his words were very persuasive. That made a lot of sense! There was a possibility that he was right. It was possible that the devils were merely using them to exhaust the saber qi.

Tianduo was also stunned. He had expected that even if someone suspected that they were harboring such a plan, nobody would say it openly. Beside him, Lan Ying sent him a voice transmission, "That fellow was stabbed in the back by a blood fire devil before. He's very hostile toward devils."

Understanding dawned on Tianduo. He felt somewhat speechless. It was those damn blood fire devils again! That damn race was crazy. They had been making enemies everywhere for the devils. Each time someone scolded the devils, the blood fire devils were most likely the reason.

In fact, the blood fire devils were such troublemakers that the original devils were starting to consider denying that the blood fire devils were devils.

Alas, the blood fire devils were also very powerful. There were three Invincibles among them. Even if they were kicked out of the greater devil race, they would still be considered a powerful race. Thus, the original devils were unwilling to lose such a powerful fighting force. If they did that, they would only create a powerful enemy for themselves.

Therefore, Tianduo was not surprised to hear that this was yet another enemy the blood fire devils had made.

He said, "Brother from the water elemental race, here, only strength matters. We don't have a way to evade the saber qi. But even if we do, we won't hand it to anyone. If any of you are scared, you can simply leave this place."

Would they be willing to leave? Nope. Everyone wanted to try their luck. If they were lucky enough to land the killing blow on Huang Teng, the heavens would reward them generously. Huang Teng was too delicious a target.

The higher someone's rank was in the Heavenly Hunt Index, the more others would gain after killing that person. Even if the killer was someone with higher cultivation, that person would still be rewarded.

The reward could be heavenly source qi, natural character, natural divine weapons, ancient arts, ancient inheritances, and so on. Yes. These were the things one could obtain from heavenly rewards.

Huang Teng was first-ranked in the Yellow Index. One could at least get a natural character from killing him, right?

Far away, the concealed earth elemental was very relieved after hearing Su Yu's words. He had made the right choice to leave this troublemaker. He reminded himself to stay far away from that fellow in the future.

Su Yu continued testing Tianduo's patience, "Why must we leave? Does this place belong to the devils? Is this the Devil Realm? I'm not leaving. If you don't release the method to evade the saber qi, I will keep disrupting your plan!"

Suddenly, Su Yu fled. He turned into a drop of water before vanishing. Tianduo, who was still standing far away a moment ago, had suddenly appeared at Su Yu's previous spot. In his hand was a spear emanating a fiery devilish aura.

He spread his willpower out to scan for the water elemental. While doing so, he snorted coldly. That water elemental was getting too carried away. How dare that water elemental run his mouth against the devils?

The others were not surprised to see this. One of them laughed and said, "That fellow from the water elemental race is quite gutsy. He's only a fresh Cloudbreach yet he has the courage to provoke these devils."

"Tianduo is not an easy opponent. Even Huang Teng was forced to hide in the Skyrend Valley. Did that water elemental believe that Tianduo wouldn't dare to kill him?"

"It doesn't matter. It's clear that's a clueless brat."

"..."

The people there started conversing through voice transmissions. None of them knew who that water elemental was. Sure, at times, the members of other races would look the same regardless of who one was, but that fellow's voice was also very unfamiliar to them. And due to how weak that fellow was, he did not seem to be one of the famous water elemental geniuses they all knew about.

Where did that clueless brat come from?

Suddenly, Su Yu reappeared further away and cursed, "I knew it! This is how all devils are! They will easily turn against you for no reason! This had happened before as well!"

Whoosh!

Suddenly, he vanished again. A slim sword stabbed through his previous position. A frowning Lan Ying also appeared out of thin air. This repeated several times, forcing the devils to attack him repeatedly to stop him from talking.

Tianduo was quite speechless. So that fellow was really trying to court death. They were trying to formulate a plan to kill Huang Teng. Why was that water elemental making trouble for them? It was as though they were trying to kill a family member of that water elemental. But the five elemental race did not have a relationship with the human race. Why was this happening

Far away, Su Yu reappeared once again. He smugly declared, "So the devils aren't anything special, after all. The movement skills of the five elemental race are unequaled under the sky!"

Splurt!

A dark shadow shot forth and stabbed through Su Yu's previous position.

Shadow devil race.

Su Yu was already running somewhere else. While fleeing, he roared repeatedly, "This is how the devils are! They will try to kill you the moment they disagree with what you say! That's especially true for the blood fire devils! They have no sense of shame! Devils, do you think the myriad races are scared of you? Kill me if you can! If you can't, I'll get some backup and take my revenge on you guys! Just you wait!"

After saying that, he vanished completely.

Silence finally returned.

Tianduo frowned. Beside him, a devil with a third eye on his forehead opened the third eye and scanned the area. He eventually frowned, "He's gone."

This was a bad start. They had yet to even convince the people here to join their operation when the water elemental appeared and kicked a fuss over the fact that they were devils. The three-eyed devil scanned their surroundings and helplessly said, "The movement skills of the five elemental race are indeed powerful. That fellow is gone."

"But there is an earth elemental hiding nearby. That's probably Topsoil Spirit of the earth elemental race."

Tianduo nodded. Intense radiance erupted from his eyes as he looked in the direction of the earth elemental.

Several kilometers away, the earth elemental was cursing as he revealed himself and said, "You must be misunderstanding me. I don't intend to make the devils my enemy. That fellow from earlier...must have been screwed badly by the blood fire devils in the past. Do not misunderstand me, Fellow Daoist Tianduo."

Tianduo nodded and said, "Topsoil Spirit, I hope you don't create any trouble for us. We're here to avenge Mo Erba and his younger brother. We are not here to make any race our enemy. It is in the interest of everyone here to kill Huang Teng and Wu Qi."

"Of course."

The earth elemental smiled before scattering into nothingness. That was only a puppet. The real earth elemental had fled far away. He was still cursing inwardly. Holy shit! He must be blind. Why had he offered to travel with that fellow? The show he wanted to watch had yet to start but the devils were already paying close attention to him.

Somewhere else, a white-haired expert of the divine race was searching an area with several experts from the mystic armor race. After scanning the place, he said, "Five elemental race...that water elemental must have turned his brain into water after cultivating so much. If it wasn't for the fact that he wasn't too big of a threat, Tianduo would have given up on Huang Teng to deal with the water elemental instead."

Tianduo and the other devils were unwilling to stray too far from the Skyrend Valley lest Huang Teng take the chance to escape. Otherwise, the water elemental might not necessarily be able to escape.

Red Armor nodded. He said nothing, but he was feeling very doubtful. This movement technique...was it the movement technique of the five elemental race?

The movement technique used by the human previously was quite similar to this. That human was as difficult to track as an elemental.

Red Armor had not interacted much with the five elemental race before. He only knew that they had incredible movement techniques. But after witnessing the movement technique of the water elemental, he couldn't help but think about Cui Lang. Yes. He already knew the name of that human. He saw it from the index.

Cui Lang was capable of a similar movement technique as well. He had never seen Cui Lang use the water movement technique before, but he had seen Cui Lang use the wind and earth movement techniques with his own eyes.

But there was no wind elemental among the five elemental race. Red Armor was only slightly doubtful, but he did not think too much about it. The cultural researchers of the human race were capable of forming a terrifyingly large number of characters. It wasn't surprising for them to have access to some weird abilities.

One was a human and the other was an elemental. The difference between the two was still very big.

"Lord An, are we entering the Skyrend Valley to kill Huang Teng?"

"There is no rush."

The white-haired man smiled and said, "That water elemental might be foolish, but he was right. Huang Teng would not flee here for no reason. Be careful lest you perish under Great Xia King's saber qi. Even the tiny trace of the saber qi left by an Invincible is capable of giving us a hard time. We will let Tianduo solve this issue."

"Yes, Lord."

Red Armor said nothing. Killing Huang Teng wasn't his goal. And it was also almost impossible for him to make the kill before anyone else did it. And even if he did manage to make the kill, he might not be able to keep his heavenly reward.

He only wanted to see Cui Lang here. That would be great. He needed that Cui Lang to die.

***

At this time, Su Yu was dozens of kilometers away from the group. He stopped, exhaled, and grinned.

He was having a great time. He knew those people wouldn't try to pursue him. If a few of them tried it, he could even find a chance to kill the pursuers instead. However, nobody was giving chase.

Su Yu started lamenting that he was such a kind person. He had managed to buy a little bit of time for Huang Teng. That was a rival of his teacher yet he had done so much to help that fellow.

If Huang Teng managed to survive this, Su Yu wouldn't ask for anything as repayment. He only needed Huang Teng to take a beating from him several times. It would be even better if he could record the process and send it to his teacher.

But...it seemed very likely that Huang Teng would die here. That Tianduo and the other devils looked very strong.
