Tribulation of Myriad Races

Chapter 696: The Reasonable Old Zhu (1)



Both holy lands hovered in the sky. And the entrances to both were wide open.

Inside the War God Hall.

Silk Destroying King was seated atop the throne. With a wave of his hand, space warped as the two halls joined together.

Inside the Knowledge Seeking Hall, Great Han King remained silent as well. They both sat at their respective sides without conversing with each other.

From the outside, the two holy lands still appeared separate. This was the power of the Invincible Realm. A realm where space and time could be affected.

Outside the Knowledge Seeking Realm, Zhu Tiandao got off his carriage and looked at the stairs in front of him. There were 99 steps in total, leading straight to the Knowledge Seeking Hall.

Numerous imposing statues stood on the two sides of the stairs. The group stepped forward and had their identities verified. With a calm expression, Zhu Tiandao started climbing the stairs.

The other Sunmoons did the same.

Inside the hall, Great Han King was seated on a throne. One level lower than him were eight seats. Seated on these seats were the heads of the eight major famlies running the Knowledge Seeking Realm.

All of them had solemn expressions.

The person making the complaint was not a nobody they could bully. That was a prefect and the son of a big shot in the Knowledge Seeking Realm. If it wasn't for their lack of numbers, the Zhu Family would definitely be one of the eight families running the Knowledge Seeking Realm.

Zhu Tiandao climbed the stairs at a leisurely pace.

After a while, the hall was within reach. And eventually, he stepped into the hall.

Inside, Zhu Tiandao said, "Great Ming prefect, Zhu Tiandao, greets Great Han King."Th.ê most uptod/at𝓮 n𝒐vels a/re published on n(0)velbj)n(.)c/o/m

"Be at ease."

Great Han King had a small physique and a gentle appearance. However, he had a dignified presence about him, making it hard for anyone to meet his gaze.

He calmly asked, "The Dragonrise Drum was beaten four times. Great Ming has encountered danger. Has the crisis been resolved?"

"I'm not sure." Zhu Tiandao stepped forth and coldly said, "Five Sunmoons were killed and four Sunmoon character clones were destroyed. Additionally, fifteen Mountainseas were killed. But we are not sure if there are more hidden enemies."

"Clones of an Invincible?"

After a short silence, Great Han King asked, "Do you have proof?"

"Those are Sunmoon clones." Zhu Tiandao said, "All four of them came from the same person, so either it was an Invincible or Ye Batian is still alive. Those clones have the strength of seventh-stage Sunmoons. And there were four of them. Please tell me. If it wasn't an Invincible, could it be Zhou Polong and his brother Zhou Potian?"

Right after that was said, one of the eight old men said, "Please be careful with what you say, Prefect Zhu."

Zhu Tiandao's eyes radiated an intense light as he roared, "Shut your mouth! I am the master of Great Ming. Who are you to interrupt a conversation between me and Great Han King?"

He added, "Soldiers, take his seat away. These people are not qualified to stay seated in my presence."

The faces of the guards standing outside the hall changed.

After a short silence, Great Han King said, "Guards, prepare a seat for Prefect Zhu."

Immediately after, two burly men carried a large chair into the room. It was only slightly shorter than Great Han King's throne and much taller than the chairs of the eight family heads.

Zhu Tiandao sat down unhesitatingly. He smiled and said, "I feel bad for letting you see this, Great Han King. But some people seems to have forgotten their place. Back then, all thirty six prefectures have entered an agreement to rule the Human Realm together. As for the so-called eight great families, they are merely our servants running the place for us. How dare they try to step on their masters?"

"Hmph!"

Zhu Tiandao ignored the changing expressions of the family heads and looked at the person who had spoken previously. "Even if I call Zhou Potian garbage right in front of his face, he wouldn't dare to say anything. How impudent of you. Who are you to tell me what I should say? Who gives you the confidence to speak that way to me?"

The light in Zhu Tiandao's eyes grew even more intense as he said, "Do you disagree with me? If you dare to provoke me one more time, I will cut you down right in front of Great Han King. Do you think I won't have the courage to do that?"

None of the eight family heads said anything. Even the representative from the Zhou Family, the second son of Great Zhou King, was staying silent with his head lowered. Zhu Tiandao sneered.

Great Han King did not interfere. After Zhu Tiandao was done venting his anger, Great Han King said, "Alright. Stop bickering. Let's get to the main topic."

Zhu Tiandao said, "Great Han King is a wise man. I don't wish to bicker with them, but some rats are trying to step on me. I can't hold my anger. My temper has always been good. I have ruled Great Ming for seventy-seven years and I have never crossed any lines. Great Ming has always remained friendly toward everyone. But now, someone is trying take advantage of our kindness and bully us!

"Nine Sunmoons! What was that? Were they trying to eliminate Great Ming while my father was away? Was it the Myriad Race Cult or someone else? Great Ming is under Knowledge Seeking Realm's juristiction. What was the Knowledge Seeking Realm doing when Great Ming was under attack by so many Sunmoons?

"Each year, the various prefectures allocate countless resources to support the two holy lands. The two holy lands are also entitled to thirty percent of all earnings from the Allheaven Battlefield. With so much support, the holy lands have been renewing their promise to exterminate the Myriad Race Cult every year. But what is this?

"Nine Sunmoons attacked us today. Not long ago, we also killed Jin Yuhui and the blood fire devil. Even earlier, Xia Longwu killed a Sunmoon and three clones. In less than half a year, fifteen hostile Sunmoons have appeared in Great Xia and Great Ming.

"Fifteen Sunmoons! Six months! The entire Human Realm is under the jurisdiction of the Knowledge Seeking Realm and War Shrine. Today, I am here for an answer. Just how many Sunmoons are there left in the cult? If I don't get an answer today, Great Ming will withdraw from the Human Alliance!"

Fifteen Sunmoons!

The expression of an old man who had just left many years of seclusion changed. He stepped forth and asked in alarm, "Prefect Zhu, are you speaking the truth?"

Zhu Tiandao said, "Everyone knows this. Only people like you who have been in seclusion don't know about this. They are withholding information from you, blinding you from any useful information."

The old man was not bothered by the rude tone. He first looked at Great Han King before looking at Silk Destroying King. Suddenly, he started coughing miserably.

After a while, he stopped and said, "Fifteen Sunmoons...half a year..."

The old man pointed at Great Han King furiously while gasping for breath. seeing that, Zhu Tiandao said, "Senior Wang, calm down. Don't anger yourself to death. You've yet to hear the whole story. Do you know that several Sunmoons from the Six-Winged Divine Sect are pursuing Ye Batian's grandstudent, Chen Yong? Everyone in the Human Realm knows this, but for some reason, nobody can do anything to the Six-Winged Divine Sect.

"Right, there's also Lan Tian. He hid in Great Xia for decades, and nobody know about that. Several Sunmoon cultists have been very active in the three great oceans. The First Divine Sect master has also been creating trouble everywhere. A large number of cultists have been freely killing the civilians...

"Ten months ago, five seventh and eighth-stage Sunmoons attacked Xia Longwu. All of them perished. The end is nigh. In less than a year, about twenty enemy Sunmoons have been killed. But even so, there are still so many active enemy Sunmoons out there. How many enemy Sunmoons are there in the Human Realm exactly? Even the thirty-six prefectures would probably lose almost all their elites with the death of twenty Sunmoons. Meanwhile, the cult still has plenty to spare."

Zhu Tiandao sneered and said, "So Senior Wang, what do you think now? Should I ask for help? I'm really afraid. We did kill nine Sunmoons today, but what if ninety of them come tomorrow? Won't Great Ming be destroyed by these people?"

Silence descended.
