Tribulation of Myriad Races

Chapter 2166: Unexpected (3)

Su Yu smiled and urged, "Everyone, time does not wait for anyone. I believe the sinned lineage is probably working very hard right now to summon their Master of Law. Are you going to wait until they are all ready before doing something? You're too rigid. Can't you give them a decisive blow while they are in the middle of summoning that Master of Law?"

Su Yu continued with a helpless tone, "Even if you can't stop the summoning, you can aim to kill some people and increase their cost of summoning, right? You are better off taking the time you're using to deliberate to attack. You could have killed a few more Venerables by now.

"Also, five Venerables might not be all they have. Sure, including the one I killed, they had six before this. How many Venerables did the myriad races and human race produce over the past hundred thousand years?"

Su Yu wagged his finger as he said, "We have been fighting for a hundred thousand years. Including the dead Venerables, we have produced more than twenty of them. Why do you believe that they only have five left? Your intelligence network is completely useless.

"You keep hesitating and waiting. Are you going to wait until their Master of Law emerges and achieve full recovery? And then, you can gather up and march to your deaths. Is that what you're trying to do? I can't understand you people."

He truly couldn't understand their hesitation. Even without a shot-caller, they should know that this was the perfect opportunity to step on Control King's lineage. Just what in the world were they waiting for?

Venerable Moon smiled bitterly and said, "You might be right about this...but we're already used to this."

Su Yu sneered, "I see. You're used to waiting for death. Waiting and waiting. That is all you do. A pedantic scholar won't achieve anything even after spending three years rebelling. But you lot won't achieve anything even after thirty thousand years. Based on what I know, when you first rose against humanity, you spent all your time in meeting after meeting. Ultimately, Human Emperor was able to drag all your powerhouses away before you were even done with your endless meetings.

"If I were Human Emperor, I wouldn't have bothered. He must have been too anxious back then. He should have waited as well. You guys would have spent thousands of years in meetings without doing anything."

Would that have been the case?

Probably.

At the time, Culture King and Martial King had gone missing for quite a while. However, the myriad races were still stuck in meetings. They weren't able to actually do anything. They were only forced to act after Human Emperor made a move against their powerhouses.

If Human Emperor had stayed idle, the myriad races could have spent a thousand or so years in meetings. Was that a long time? They would probably end up spending even more time talking and doing nothing.

That was enough time for Human Emperor to complete his dao. With that, he would be able to take his dao with him instead of leaving it behind.

Su Yu's words were quite hurtful. But he made a lot of sense. The Venerables said nothing, but when they thought about it, they couldn't help but wonder if that was the case. Su Yu was too insightful.

Tiangu said, "You can have the fake daos, but nothing else. We don't have so many characters. The Coiling Dragon Mountain is the personal weapon of a Venerable, so we can't hand it over either.

"I don't know why you want that mountain, but we need to agree that you won't move against Venerable Dragon before Control King's lineage is defeated."

Su Yu laughed, "What are you saying, Tiangu? Am I the type to attack my allies when we're in the middle of a cooperation?"

Yes.

Tiangu realized he had erred in telling Su Yu about the Coiling Dragon Mountain. It was likely that Su Yu was unaware of that prior to this. Of course, it wouldn't be appropriate for him to admit to this mistake.

He couldn't even make a big deal out of it. Otherwise, Venerable Dragon would start suspecting that he had done so deliberately. Tiangu had not expected that Su Yu was unaware of that mountain's location prior to this. Out of all those demands, Tiangu only agreed to two of them.

Su Yu said, "That's not enough. You might even end up claiming that you only have one fake dao left after this. What's the point of our cooperation, then?"

Tiangu nodded, "Yes. We need to make things clearer. Ten Daofuse fake daos. Is that acceptable?"

Su Yu furrowed his brows and said, "Can you speak for the myriad races?"

"I can discuss this with them." Tiangu said, "Don't bother inciting disharmony between us. Consort Emeritus and Mo Ji are here. We know you well. The various races are aware of the danger before us. We won't turn on each other so easily."

Su Yu sighed, "I shouldn't have brought you up here."

Tiangu smiled. "It doesn't matter. It's only a matter of time before those in the Upper Realm learn about the type of person you are."

"You're talking like I'm some sort of evil fiend." Su Yu laughed, "I'm but a young man at about twenty years old. Apart from being somewhat rash, I'm nothing special. You overestimate me, Brother Tiangu."

Tiangu said nothing.

But at the mention of Su Yu's age, the Venerables shuddered slightly.

Yes. He was too young. They should be wary of him.

With another sigh, Su Yu said, "Fine. I'll accept twenty Daofuse fake daos. If you agree, I can act as your vanguard. I suggest we start the fight within three days. This is the perfect opportunity for you to act. You're dragging things out so much that I'm starting to feel anxious for you."

They looked at each other. Finally, Venerable Moon said, "Three days...no, one day. You'll receive an answer in one day."

Su Yu nodded.

With that, they stood up to leave. But before they could leave, Su Yu said, "Brother Heavenly Fate, stay for a chat. What's the rush?"

With an awkward expression, Heavenly Fate Marquis said, "It's fine. Thanks for the hospitality, Human Lord."

After saying that, he rushed off.

He sent the others a voice transmission, "He did that deliberately. Don't misunderstand me, everyone. There is still no confirmation that Fateless has joined him. He's trying to sow discord between us. We can't fall for his trick."

Everyone nodded, but nobody knew what they were actually thinking.

***

When the group left, Su Yu narrowed his eyes.

Venerable Dragon. He had to find a chance to get that dragon killed. This would be worth it even if the Coiling Dragon Mountain was his sole gain this time.

"Venerable Dragon has the shit mountain. It's not like I must kill him. I can also rob him."

Robbing was always an option. He didn't need to kill all the time.

Su Yu rubbed his chin and said, "Heavenbridge, keep an eye on Venerable Dragon. Even better if you find an opening for us to rob him right away."

Everyone blanked out.

What the hell was this?

Su Yu said, "We can rob him now. The myriad races will be furious, but that won't be enough for them to turn against us. Also, none of them will expect this. I call this a surprise attack!"

Yes. Nobody would see this coming.

After all, they were still in the middle of finalizing their cooperation.

Su Yu grinned. "This will be totally worth it. With the Coiling Dragon Mountain, Grand Dream can probably advance into a Venerable. Do we care about offending the myriad races? It's only a matter of time before we're enemies again. Now that their hands are tied against us, we should take this chance to rob the dragon."

Wow.

Everyone cursed inwardly. He was such a scoundrel.

They were still in the middle of a negotiation yet he was already thinking of robbing them.

As Heavenbridge Marquis grimaced, Su Yu said, "Wait, let's see...we can also wait until the agreement is finalized and rob Venerable Dragon right before the battle."

Su Yu smiled, "With me as their vanguard, they won't retaliate no matter how furious they are. It would be stupid of them to retaliate at that time. They will have no choice but to accept it."

Yes! That would be the plan! The rest looked at each other before nodding. Sure enough, things would always remain exciting with Su Yu. Just look at what he was doing. He was planning to rob a Venerable before he was even done with Control King's lineage.

Heavenbridge Marquis asked, "What...about the eight-winged tiger and dragon?"

"It's fine. The summoning will succeed."

The others were unsure. Why was Su Yu so confident about this?

Su Yu chuckled and said, "That tiger is a scammer. He won't tell me anything if there is no guarantee that the summoning will succeed. Since he was willing to tell me about it, we can be certain that the Master of Law will be out soon."

Everyone was alarmed to hear that.

March said, "Your Majesty, are you saying that the tiger gave us the wrong time? He claimed that it won't happen anytime soon, but it's actually happening real soon?"

"Of course!" Su Yu said, "Since they want that Master of Law out, they definitely won't give me the time to stop the summoning. When we fought Control King's lineage earlier, only Yue Luo and Yue Hao appeared. Subsequently, only the Ancestor rushed over. Where were the other Venerables? Why were they absent for such a big battle?"

Su Yu rolled his eyes.

"Can't you think for yourself? Those Venerables must have been tied up by something. They couldn't leave. They wouldn't have allowed me to torture two of their Venerables otherwise. Not with their pride."

"..."

The others looked at each other silently. As for Giant Axe Marquis, he maintained a perfectly calm face, as though he had guessed the same as well. Of course, everyone knew the truth. This had not crossed their minds.

So Control King's lineage hadn't been underestimating their enemies. Rather, they were too busy to react. March and the others had been thinking that Control King's lineage had merely been too careless.

Su Yu couldn't be bothered to say more. These people were slowly turning into Heavendooms. He was gathering more and more brutes under him. Originally, many of his people weren't pure brutes. But as the number of brutes increased, the others would slowly be dragged down into the same level of intelligence.

How sad.

He ignored the others who were busy pretending they already knew it and sank into thought. Would any variable arise? When should he deploy the rest of his people? Also, would Hundred Battle King willingly stay in the Lower Realm?

Would Su Yu accept it if he were in the same position?

Nope.

Also, did the two chaos beasts really trust him so much? Nonsense. Thus, something would definitely change. Things would not be smooth-sailing.

"Therefore, I still need to make multiple contingencies."

With that, Su Yu started perfecting his plans.
