Chapter 957: Stand Tall, Great Ming! (1)

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Outside the city.

Su Yu looked around eagerly and softly said, "Lord Yue, which race has the most easygoing experts who won't be quick to kill and enjoy accepting new disciples?"

The Mountainsea gave Su Yu a glance. At the moment, Su Yu had taken on the appearance of a Cloudbreach from a minor race. The minor race he picked was a race he knew very well. The iron-winged bird race.

Of course, he didn't have any wings. But that did not matter. He was pretending to be a bird who had taken a humanoid form, showing minimal racial characteristics. The humanoid form was still quite popular in the Allheaven Battlefield.

After all, that was the original form of the humans, divines, devils, and immortals. Because so many of the most powerful races had the humanoid form, taking a humanoid form became the common practice in the Allheaven Battlefield.

The Mountainsea indifferently said, "Look around yourself. If I knew such a person, why would I still be here?"

Su Yu revealed a disappointed expression upon hearing that. He continued looking around before his gaze settled on the sole Sunmoon who was revealing himself openly: Zheng Ping.

When the Mountainsea noticed that, he sneered inwardly. That was a human. The human race...was not necessarily the most ferocious race around. But everyone knew who Zheng Ping was. That was a murderous butcher from Great Xia. This fellow from the iron-winged bird should be careful lest he became a snack for the mad butcher.

Someone else in the group noticed the same as well. They softly reminded, "That's a human from Great Xia."

Su Yu's eyes sparkled as he said, "Great Xia? The Great Xia Cultural Research Academy has been accepting myriad race students. Are you all aware of that? Perhaps...they will be more open to accepting some myriad race geniuses as disciples as well, right? I might not be young anymore, but—"

"That's a human. It's not a good idea to get involved with them."

Someone gave him another reminder. Yes. The human race was strong. And Great Xia was indeed in the process of accepting myriad race students. But...it still wasn't a good idea to get involved with them. It was too dangerous.

Furthermore, the human race had killed quite a lot of iron-winged birds. After all, the iron-winged bird race was not a vassal of the human race. Things would be different if this fellow was from the sky horse race instead. It was much better for this fellow to look for a divine instead. The iron-winged bird race had fought a lot under the divine race's banner.

Su Yu nodded and said nothing. He didn’t really intend to become Zheng Ping’s student. That was merely a random excuse he made up to approach Zheng Ping. He had no choice since he didn't know the voice transmission talisman frequency of Zheng Ping.

Carefully, he started moving toward Zheng Ping. A lot of individuals were actually doing something similar. A Sunmoon was a big shot everywhere. It was very rare to see so many Sunmoons at the same time. Thus, a lot of the people here wanted to try their luck and get accepted as disciples of these Sunmoons.

As for whether one would become a disciple of someone from a hostile race, that was no longer a concern. Most lone travelers in the Allheaven Battlefield were either young geniuses or independent cultivators out to search for opportunities. For these people, the racial conflicts weren't that important.

Zheng Ping completely ignored the approaching weaklings. They were not worth his time. There was no need to kill for no reason, but if they dared to approach him further, he would kill them all with a burst of source qi. He was in a bad mood.

A lot of experts had arrived, but he was the only human present. Not even Great Qin had sent anyone here. Wasn't Qin Fang here? Were they ignoring him? What was Great Qin thinking? Also, where were the people from Great Ming? Were they going to ignore this incident as well?

Humanity had been reduced to a joke! So many experts had arrived, but he, a mere early Sunmoon, was the only human expert who had arrived. The human race was supposed to be strong. But no human expert was in sight. What even could a mere early Sunmoon like him do here? The divines, devils, immortals and dragons had sent their late-stage Sunmoons over.

At the Sunmoon Realm, the gap between the early and late stages was massive. They could kill him easily if they wanted to. The city gates had yet to open. But the moment they opened, he had to look for Su Yu. And a bitter battle would ensue.

How annoying. He was in a terrible mood. In such a situation, a few bugs were actually trying to approach him. If they dared to get even closer, he would kill all of them. Su Yu was only able to scan the area one kilometer around him. But Zheng Ping was able to spread his senses further. Thus, he saw more than Su Yu. More than twelve Sunmoons had arrived.

The major races did not send only one Sunmoon each. The divine race had sent two Sunmoons over. As for the devil race, they had sent three Sunmoons over. Clearly, they were worried about Mo Duona. Even the experts from the silkwyrm race, mystic armor race, and mountainbreak bull race were here. Even the immortal race had sent two Sunmoons over. All in all, about twenty Sunmoons had arrived. And he was the sole human among all these Sunmoons.

While Zheng Ping was seething, a loud hiss rang out. Then, a dark figure descended from the sky. A frosty aura enveloped the area.

Zheng Ping was overjoyed when he saw the newcomer.

A minor disturbance erupted as a cold voice rang out, "Ye Hongyan, are you going to interfere?"

Ye Hongyan had arrived. The first high-stage Sunmoon of the human race to arrive. She was quite well-known even among the myriad races. Of course, a big contributing factor to her fame was her famous nephew.

Ye Hongyan ignored Zheng Ping. Nor did she respond to the question. She walked straight toward a mystic armor Sunmoon. In the sky, the look in the eyes of an expert clad in golden armor changed.

Ye Hongyan said nothing. She merely walked.

Suddenly, she drew her blade. "Die!"

Her roar reverberated in the area.

Boom!

The mystic armor expert was sent flying hundreds of meters away while coughing dark blood. But between the mystic armor expert and Ye Hongyan, a woman had appeared. Ming He of the immortals.

With an indifferent tone, Ming He asked, "Ye Hongyan, what are you doing?"

Ye Hongyan coldly said, "Ming He, how dare you interfere in my affair?"

Ming He remained indifferent, "Are you trying to start a war? Is Great Ming aware of this?"

"A war? Are you referring to a war with those garbage from the mystic armor race? Or are you talking about the immortal race?"

Ye Hongyan reached out and a translucent sword appeared in her hand. Shooting Ming He a cold gaze, she said, "Ming He, I'm going to kill him. Are you going to stand in my way?"

Ming He said, "The mystic armor race is in the middle of talks with the immortal race to establish an alliance between us. The human race better not interfere in this. You won't be able to shoulder the consequences, Ye Hongyan. Ye Batian is dead. The era of Ye Batian is over."

Her nephew was already dead. This was no longer the era when Ye Batian was rampaging across the Myriad Realms. This was no longer the era when that arrogant bastard suppressed the myriad races. This was a new era.

The human race was facing countless hardships. Did Ye Hongyan believe that she could rely on Great Ming instead?

"Audacious!"

Ye Hongyan raised her sword, and berserk source qi swirled around her as she roared, "You are not worthy to speak the name Ye Batian."

Ye Hongyan was very overbearing. This Ming He was unworthy. She was unworthy of even breathing the same air Ye Batian breathed. How dare she address him by his name?

Rumble!

All around them, one expert after another appeared. They silently stared at the flickering swords in the air. Meanwhile, the mystic armor Sunmoon who was sent flying earlier could only stand aside in silence.

Inwardly, he was feeling extremely helpless. Somehow, the mystic armor race had turned into the vanguard of this conflict. That was not a smart choice. This would be very troublesome for them.

The human race had killed numerous mystic armor experts, including one Sunmoon, two index geniuses, and multiple Mountainseas. If the mystic armor did nothing about that, their reputation would collapse.

But...the alternative would also be extremely troublesome. The immortal race...was not a benevolent race. Ming He might be claiming that they were in talks about an alliance, but they were still far from finalizing the talks. Furthermore, Dao Cheng could very well be Silver Armor's killer.

And at this point, they had also antagonized the human race for causing this entire incident to happen. Even if the humans did not care about Su Yu, that did not mean they could tolerate the actions of the mystic armors.

Ye Hongyan's behavior was the perfect representation of that. She had attacked him right after arriving. And she was also terrifyingly strong. As a high-stage Sunmoon, she was comparable to Ming He in strength. An expert like this might act domineeringly, but she was not one to start a war rashly.

Thus, her attack right after arriving indicated that the human race as a whole viewed the mystic armor race with disregard. If a war had to break out between them, so be it.

The human race would not be so overbearing toward the immortal, divine, and devil races. This was the sorrow of the minor races. It didn't matter even if the Mystic Armor King was strong. No matter how strong he was, he was only one Invincible.

For the major races, the other top 100 races were nothing special. They would only start being wary if all the other top 100 races went into an alliance. Rumbling sounds erupted as the auras of Ye Hongyan and Ming He clashed in the sky. Nobody interfered.

A short while later, the rumbles ceased. Both Ye Hongyan and Ming He took a step back and snorted coldly at each other without saying anything. The alliance between the immortal and human races remained.

Both of them were high-stage Sunmoons. If the two of them really fought each other to death here, that might impact the policies of their respective races. As a military official stationed in the Allheaven Prefecture, Ye Hongyan understood that very well. She could kill someone from the mystic armor race, but that did not apply to Ming He. It wasn't that she couldn't. But if she wanted to do so, she had to do it secretly instead of openly.

The two Sunmoons had only clashed briefly, but they created quite a ruckus. The shockwaves from their clashes forced numerous individuals to pull further away from the city. A human expert had arrived. It would be wise of them to stay further away from the city since the likelihood of a battle breaking out had increased even further.
