Chapter 1111: Been A While, Old Bai (3)
Su Yu, who was riding ahead of the group, was starting to feel bored.
Only a few Mountainseas? And the strongest among them was a fourth-stage Mountainsea who had died to Yellow Nine in one hit? Was there no Sunmoon? Evidently, his standards had risen greatly after his trip to the Allheaven Battlefield. Opponents below the Sunmoon Realm were starting to bore him.
Su Yu had long forgotten that in the Human Realm, a Mountainsea was already enough to become a higher-up of the Myriad Race Cult. Someone like that would either be an important member or the leader of a sect. That was especially true for the weaker sects where their leaders were mostly Mountainseas. Thus, a team of three Mountainseas could actually be considered a big force.
His perspective had merely been altered by the numerous experts he had seen after leaving the Human Realm. He thought that they were looking down on him by sending only three Mountainseas, but they were actually taking him very seriously.
Late-stage Mountainseas were actually quite rare. There might not be too few of them in the Human Realm, but there also weren't that many of them. Even a place like the Great Xia Cultural Research Academy with plenty of Mountainseas only had a small number of late-stage Mountainseas.
He viewed Yellow Nine and the others as weaklings, but even among the white masks, Yellow Nine was already an elite. He was someone who had survived for many years in the Allheaven Battlefield. How could he be weak?
The Heavenly Hunt Pavilion was an organization with at least eight Invincibles. And the white masks were basically the upper middle management of this organization. Alas, Su Yu's perspective had been skewed by how easily he had obtained his white mask.
***
As Su Yu continued traveling, followed by Yellow Nine. Yellow Nine did not reveal himself, but he had killed a decent number of people as he tailed Su Yu.
Su Yu was naturally aware of all that.
And before long, news of what was happening started spreading from the mouths of the lucky survivors.
The Myriad Race Cult received the news as well.
Bai Junsheng had hired a white mask to protect him. The white mask was Yellow Nine of the Yellow Department. Not long ago, Profound Department's Profound Nine, someone capable of contending against Sunmoons, had also appeared. The two might be related to each other.
Clearly, there was more than one white mask in Great Xia.
***
Bai Feng, who had just left the capital not long ago, received the news as well.
"Yellow Nine? Heavenly Hunt Pavilion?"
Bai Feng blanked out slightly and muttered, "No wonder that kid was so arrogant. So he found a backer. But where did that fool find the money to hire a white mask?"
"Also, the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion sure is brazen. So many of them have entered the Human Realm. The various prefectures are still hunting them down, but they're already accepting missions? Are they not scared of being hunted down in Great Xia?"
The Heavenly Hunt Pavilion was most definitely not anyone's friend. Bai Feng was not relieved at all to learn that Bai Junsheng had gotten mixed up with those people. He was not traveling alone.
But he didn't get Hong Tan to move with him either. It would be too dangerous for Hong Tan to leave the capital. Rather, Bai Feng was traveling with Wu Yuehua, a ninth-stage Mountainsea.
Wu Yuehua had been in the eighth-stage Mountainsea Realm for quite a while. She had only broken through recently.
When she heard Bai Feng's words, she frowned, "Heavenly Hunt Pavilion...these people have actually entered the Human Realm en-masse. This is the sign that chaotic times are coming. The Heavenly Hunt Pavilion only exists to make money. And where there's chaos, they will be there. Their arrival will only exacerbate the chaos. These people are only afraid that the world is not chaotic enough. They are the bringer of chaos."
Of course, she had exaggerated slightly. However, it was true that the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion enjoyed encouraging anything that could create more chaos. In short, this was an organization filled with despicable and hateful individuals.
Wu Yuehua said, "When picking up your cousin, we can try to kill that Yellow Nine if possible. This will also be considered a great contribution by the military."
Yes. As far as the military was concerned, killing white masks was the same as killing enemies.
Bai Feng nodded, "That cousin...is too stupid. He keeps causing trouble for me. This is really not a good time for him to be doing this. I'll teach him a proper lesson this time!"
"Stop wasting time. You only need to focus on growing stronger. That way, you won't need help every single time you need something done. Just look at that student of yours. He won't live long, but the myriad races will remember him forever. The radiance from him is enough to illuminate the entire Myriad Realms."
Clearly, Wu Yuehua had a very high evaluation of Su Yu. In fact, that was the case for the entire Wu Family.
Their Old Madam had previously said that only such a person was worthy of being the significant other of someone from her Wu Family. According to her, the women of Wu did not pursue long-lasting relationships. They only needed a relationship that would bloom and shine like the sun, even if it would only last momentarily.
And Su Yu clearly ticked all their boxes.
The Wu Family had a very good impression of a super genius like that. He was akin to Liu Wenyan back then.
Bai Feng helplessly said, "Martial Aunt, please don't say that anymore. My teacher has been torturing me by saying the same thing. Why are you doing this as well?"
Wu Yuehua replied, "That's the truth. My family's Wu Qi has been fighting in the Allheaven Battlefield. Not even Huang Teng can win her respect. But when I mentioned betrothing her to Su Yu, she did not argue. Clearly, Su Yu has caught her eyes as well..."
"..."
Holy shit!
While cursing, he was also growing doubtful.
What the hell was that?
His cousin was a brand new Skysoar. How could a Pseudo Cloudbreach like him hurt his leg kicking a Skysoar?
Su Yu laughed inwardly, but he maintained his expression and pulled a steel plate from his back. With the expression of a wronged person, he asked, "Why did you kick me? Just look at what you did to my shield."
"..."
Bai Feng blinked. Was there a shield there earlier?
How did he not notice it?
Right, his cousin was a weaponsmith so having extra equipment was not surprising. But why didn't he feel the shield earlier?
He was doubtful, but he was too distracted to care too much about that. He furiously asked, "Who told you to come? Have you forgotten what I said to you previously? I told you to stay away from me!"
"Grandpa was injured. I'm here to give you an update. Second Uncle also have something to tell you. I come bearing his message."
"Say it."
"I'll tell you when we reach the capital."
"You—"
Bai Feng was furious. But Su Yu acted stubbornly, "I won't say anything before reaching the capital!"
Wu Yuehua couldn't be bothered to waste more time here. She said, "We need to leave immediately and we don't have the extra hand to spare escorting him back. Just return to the capital first."
Bai Feng had no choice but to agree. True. They didn't have anyone to escort his cousin even if his cousin were to leave immediately.
The Heavenly Hunt Pavilion member had been sent away by them. There was nobody left to protect his cousin
***
Meanwhile, Yellow Nine looked at them from afar and smiled. Bai Feng had arrived!
So be it. With this, his mission had been completed. Not bad at all. They had smoothly completed their first mission in the Human Realm. This was a good start. Regardless of what he believed, it was still unwise to underestimate the humans.
That woman was overbearing and strong. Just that poisonous cauldron alone had nearly poisoned him to death. He had to be more careful from now on.
"Profound Nine, mission completed. I'll be taking my leave. Please accept more missions. Our team is probably the first team to complete a mission in the Human Realm. Profound Nine, you have picked the right person to approach."
No reply came from Profound Nine. Yellow Nine was unbothered. Perhaps Profound Nine was busy, or perhaps Profound Nine was trying to maintain his concealment. It didn't matter.
***
As for Su Yu, he finally met Bai Feng.
He was in a good mood.
As for his vibrating mask, he was ignoring it. Yellow Nine was probably sending him messages. It probably wasn't anything important.
He looked at Bai Feng and found Bai Feng incredibly pleasing to his eyes.
It has been a while, Old Bai!
Yes, it really had been quite a while.
Four whole months had passed!
But this teacher of his...tsk tsk. Still a ninth-stage Skysoar? How pitiful. This was way too weak. He could probably pinch his teacher to death with his fingers if he wanted. His teacher must have been slacking. How was he still not a Cloudbreach after receiving so much heavenly source qi?
Su Yu started grumbling inwardly that his teacher had definitely been lazy.
His teacher was not working hard enough!
Why was his growth so slow?
Nevertheless, he was still in a great mood. Oh, how he had missed Old Bai. He had been surrounded by enemies for so long. It was only now that he could finally feel some warmth in his life again.
