Tribulation of Myriad Races Chapter 731: Bai Fengs Return (3)

Chapter 731: Bai Feng’s Return (3)

Xia Yunji laughed, “You? What do you want? Ask for it from your teacher. We’re only here to pick you up. We don’t care about anything else.”

Bai Feng felt very helpless. What could his teacher even give him? Nothing! Fuck! He really wanted to just quit everything. He thought of what his student had received and compared it with what he had received. His disassembly method must be as valuable as Su Yu’s cultivation methods, right?

Long term, those cultivation methods were better. But short term, his disassembly method was definitely amazing. His disassembly method would greatly boost the strength of a large number of old cultivators. What a pity. He didn’t have the courage to come clean as the actual creator of the disassembly method.

His teacher didn’t even dare to claim that it could be used by Cloudbreaches and Mountainseas. Otherwise, things would turn even crazier.

Regardless, Bai Feng still smiled and said, “Forget it. Us cultural researchers don’t care about benefits. We don’t research for profit or fame. That student of mine has lost himself to fame. That isn’t a good thing. What a pity. If he had remained under me, he would have accomplished more things in the future. Alas, he will have no choice but to settle with what he has learned from me thus far. I’m afraid he won’t be able to produce any good cultivation methods anymore after this.”

He shook his head and sighed, looking like a father lamenting the exhaustion of his son’s talent.

Xia Yunji and the others said nothing about that. Bai Feng said, “Let’s stop talking about that kid. He has been messing around with that little bit of talent he has. After a few years, he will come to regret not learning properly from me while he has the chance. He will probably grow old with regret.”

After saying that, he started stepping toward the portal. Xia Yunji and the others walked with him. At this time, Zhao Mingyue asked about the only thing she cared about, “How is Liu Wenyan?”

“He’s fine.” Bai Feng said, “My martial uncle is doing good. Each time a battle broke out, he would run toward Zheng Yuming and the others. Life has been terrible for Old Zheng. He has been fighting so many enemy Mountainseas that he doesn’t even have the chance to recover before he receives a new injury.”

“…”

The others were left speechless. Strictly speaking, that was not allowed in the army. But Liu Wenyan’s actual cultivation level was too low. He was only a Skysoar. One couldn’t tell him to fight the enemy Mountainseas, right?

Thus, an exception was made for him. What could they do? He was too weak. The military couldn’t possibly tell him to just throw his life away, right? That would also invite numerous protests.

Xia Yunji and the others laughed at the thought of what Liu Wenyan had been doing. Before long, they were out of the portal.

On the other side of the portal was the Allheaven Prefecture. This place was also filled with soldiers. The Allheaven Prefecture was a prefecture founded to guard the portal to the Allheaven Battlefield. This was essentially a military prefecture with no civilians.

After walking out of the portal, Bai Feng inhaled deeply and said, “In the end, the Human Realm still has the better air. Even the sunlight here feels better. The Allheaven Battlefield might be filled with source qi, but that place reeks of blood. A scholar like me has no business being at a place like that.”

He switched to voice transmission and asked, “Martial Uncle Xia, is my teacher fine?”

“He’s fine for now. Some Invincibles are still waiting for his research result before making a decision. The myriad races are also unsure about the stage of his research. Things might get even more troublesome if Hong Tan decides to publish a fake result before passing on the actual result to some unknown person instead, so the myriad races are keeping an eye on him as well.

“You should worry about yourself. You’re the first person to use the disassembly method, so the myriad races might have their eyes on you as well. Your journey back might not be peaceful.”

Bai Feng nodded and asked, “Are the three of you the only ones here to pick me up? Since Great Xia is aware that I might be in danger, why didn’t they send a few Sunmoons over?”

“They’re running out of Sunmoons.”

Xia Yunji said, “Yuan Qingdong seems free. Do you want him to be the one picking you up?”

“Oh…forget it, then.” Bai Feng mumbled helplessly, “Great Xia has quite a lot of Sunmoons. How are they running out of Sunmoons? Looks like I’m simply not important enough for them.”

When Xia Yunji heard that, he laughed. Beside him, Hu Ping rolled her eyes and said, “Kid, are you not satisfied with us? If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t talk. If you annoy us enough, we will leave you behind. You can try to reach Great Xia alone.”

Bai Feng hurriedly flashed a smile and said, “No, Martial Aunt. I’m on your side. You can’t do this to me–”

Before he could finish, he felt a chill coming behind him.

He turned around and noticed Zhao Minghue gazing at him silently. WIth an awkward expression, he said, “Uhm, both of you are the same in my heart. In all honesty, I look down on Elder Wu. Both of you are better than her. She’s a bully who has beaten me up many times before. Most of the time, she doesn’t even act her age.”

Xia Yunji laughed in amusement and said, “Alright. Stop courting trouble for yourself. If Wu Yuehua hears this, you will receive yet another beating.”

Bai Feng gave a hollow laugh, swearing inwardly that he would never find himself a woman. This thing called woman was too frightening. Su Yu was right about this. But wait…that kid seemed to have strayed recently as well. What was up with that Double Wu Acupoint Fusion Art? That was quite an ambitious kid. Did he change his mind about women?

At the thought of Su Yu, Bai Feng asked, “Martial Uncle, how’s Su Yu?”

“He’s fine. He has the protection of Zhu Family. Unless he comes up with yet another major cultivation method, nobody will try to kill him. It’s just not worth it. Five dead Sunmoons are enough to erase that thought from the minds of many people.”

Zhao Mingyue said, “He’s under a lot of pressure as well. It is very likely that his ruin is an Invincible ruin. And Xia Longwu has recently gone missing. A lot of people are worried that he is going to attempt his breakthrough in Su Yu’s ruin. It is only a matter of time before something happens there. They won’t leave him alone.”

“But what’s the point? If he has really given Prefect Xia his ruin, killing him won’t change the fact that Prefect Xia has obtained a perfect place to break through safely.”

Bai Feng was feeling quite helpless. It would seem like none of them was having it easy.

He grumbled, “The defenses of the Human Realm are filled with holes. What are those Invincibles doing?”

Xia Yunji said, “Why should they stop this? Isn’t it much easier to kill these enemies after luring them into the Human Realm? Why are all the intruders below the Sunmoon Realm? Because it is easier to trap and kill Sunmoons. And isn’t it easier to kill Sunmoons in the Human Realm than the Allheaven Battlefield?”

Bai Feng blanked out slightly. He then nodded, “I understand. So this is a trap. But…it’s too much chaos. Is this really a good thing for us?”

“Chaos is not necessarily bad.” Xia Yunji said, “Without chaos, the various prefectures will start fighting each other while the cult cheers us from the side. Just because you don’t think that this is a good thing does not mean that the Invincibles think the same. In fact, without the cult, the various prefectures would have started fighting each other long ago. At times, we have to let them go wild to achieve a bigger goal.”

Bai Feng nodded. That made a lot of sense. But the Invincibles needed to be able to keep things under control for that to work. If they couldn’t keep things under control, this would be the same as leading a wolf right into your lair.

“I understand. Anyway, I don’t care. That has nothing to do with me.” Bai Feng smiled, “Seniors, let’s return. My teacher is waiting for me. Nowadays, nothing is more important than the brain. Without me, my teacher won’t be able to even open the faculty. Sigh. They really should make me a senior researcher if I’m so important. This feels terrible.”

At this point, they had moved dozens of kilometers away from the portal. The Allheaven Prefecture was quite safe as a lot of soldiers were stationed there. But things might change after leaving the Allheaven Prefecture. On their way to Great Xia, they had to go through several prefectures and swathes of wilderness, including some areas with high concentrations of demonic beasts.

Slowly but surely, they traveled further and further away from the Allheaven Prefecture. At this point, Xia Yunji was no longer saying anything. Zhao Mingyue had her staff out while a sword hovered beside Hu Ping.

They traveled cautiously with their willpower spread around them. All of them were the members of the multiple character faction, so they were actually quite a tempting target. And three of them were the inheritors of Sunmoon characters of their deceased seniors. Just eliminating them would deal a large damage to the multiple character faction.

Meanwhile, killing Bai Feng would also deal a great blow to Hong Tan’s research. Thus, a lot of people were surprised that Great Xia had not deployed any Sunmoon to escort Bai Feng during his return.

***

Great Ming.

Su Yu learned of Bai Feng’s return not long after Bai Feng stepped through the portal.

His teacher had returned after less than half a year. But this return trip might not be a smooth one.

“They didn’t send any Sunmoon to escort him?”

Inside his cultivation room, Su Yu was frowning. Were the Sunmoons escorting him in secret, or was Great Xia really in such a bad situation?

“Senior Xia Yunji and the others…are they enough to safely escort Teacher back to Great Xia?”

After all, Xia Yunji, Hu Ping, and Zhao Mingyue might also be the potential targets of the myriad races.

One could say that the myriad races had basically reached an agreement to hunt and kill the experts of the multiple character faction. They made that intention clear enough. With so many multiple character faction experts appearing together without the escort of a Sunmoon, the myriad races could easily kill them.

After a short silence, Su Yu walked out of the room.

A short while later, a Mountainsea dressed as a woman flew out of Tiandu.

President of the Travelling Merchants Association, Xu Bin, also known as the Hundred Arm Thief. Xu Bin was in a bad mood. He really wanted to just run off like this, but where could he go?

“Damn it! Just what did those Sunmoons leave in my body? Will I die if I run off just like this?”

He wasn’t sure. After a long while, he sighed in resignation. Since he might die, he might as well carry out the task assigned to him.

“At the very least, I’m out of that dangerous place. Great Ming…is not a comfortable place to stay anymore.”

Great Ming felt more and more dangerous nowadays. It was as though he was constantly under monitoring. There was zero freedom there. He would rather leave that place to perform some missions. At the very least, he wouldn’t feel as constrained.

“Su Yu…”

Great Ming sure placed a lot of importance on that kid. No matter what, he was a Mountainsea. But Great Ming had generously assigned him to that kid. Since when were Mountainseas so unimportant?

Apart from him, Su Yu even had three Mountainsea beasts by his side. And there was also a Sunmoon constantly guarding the kid from the dark. The kid was even better protected than the kids of the Zhu Family.

“Bai Feng…”

Xu Bin curled his lips. Bai Feng sure was useless. Just look at how well his student was doing. If that kid was the one returning to the human realm, he would have received the escort of seven or eight Sunmoons. Meanwhile, the pitiful Bai Feng did not receive even one.

Xu Bin felt better at the thought that at the very least, he wasn’t doing as badly as Bai Feng. That was the only thing he could tell himself to make him feel better.
