Tribulation of Myriad Races

Chapter 697: The Reasonable Old Zhu (2)

The old man demanded, "Great Han King, is Zhu Tiandao speaking the truth?"

Twenty Sunmoons had been killed in less than a year yet the cult still had many Sunmoons to spare. That was too frightening. Was this still the same Human Realm

He had been in seclusion for many years. If it wasn't for the fact that the drum had been beaten four times, he would still be in seclusion.

He was able to see that Zhu Tiandao was deliberately making a fuss, but after hearing Zhu Tiandao's words, he was alarmed. Dozens of Sunmoons had died in the Human Realm in less than a year. Had the Myriad Race Cult grown to such a level?

Also, he was even more alarmed to hear about the clones of an unknown Invincible. Not only him, a few other old experts who had remained in seclusion for many years were also shocked to hear that. Was one year a long time? Not at all. But so many things had happened in such a short time. That was too frightening. What was happening in the Human Realm?

After a short silence, Great Han King answered, "Yes."

"You..." The old man coughed violently for a while before he continued, "You bastards! Why is this happening? Can't you keep things under control? If you really can't, a lot of geezers are still in seclusion. Just summon us out of seclusion to help!"

Furious, the old man started coughing again. He was one of the top experts who had been present during the founding of the various prefectures. He did not have much lifespan left. Due to the various injuries he had sustained while fighting for humanity, he had been in seclusion for many years. Only now did he know that so many things were happening in the Human Realm.

Great Han King said, "Things aren't that bad yet. As for the incidents in Great Ming and Great Xia..."

He looked at Zhu Tiandao and asked, "Tiandao, what do you have in mind?"

Zhu Tiandao said, "It's simple. The cult is getting too full of themselves. We need to kill at least ten of their Sunmoons to teach them a lesson. Since they have so many Sunmoons, we need to kill a lot for them to even feel anything. Since Great Ming is capable of killing nine, it shouldn't be hard for the Knowledge Seeking Realm to kill ten. Also, the Knowledge Seeking Realm is monitoring the Human Realm to deal with the cult. But it was under the eight families' watch that the cult was allowed to launch a large scale attack against Great Ming.

"What a joke. The eight families should piss off if they can’t do their job properly. Also, I want a detailed investigation on this issue. I want to know if anyone from the eight families are colluding with the cult to weaken Great Ming and Great Xia."

The leaders of the eight families were furious to hear that. One of them said, "Prefect Zhu, we admit that we should take some blame for this. But it is too excessive to accuse us of colluding with the cult. That is slander."

Zhu Tiandao coldly said, "I am only here speaking to you all because Great Ming still stands. Perhaps your families can have a taste of being attacked by nine Sunmoons as well. And after the incident, I can simply admit my fault and apologize to end the matter. As for the lives lost during the attack, it has nothing to do with me. Would you accept something like that?"

"Prefect Zhu..." One of them helplessly said, "The Knowledge Seeking Realm has never relaxed our suppression on the cult. This incident is merely an accident."

"Accident?"

Zhu Tiandao sneered, "Sure. Remember your words. When nine Sunmoons come knocking in front of your home, don't cry. It must be an accident as well."

The family heads shut their mouths. They didn't know what else they could say. Things would only get more troublesome if they spoke too much.

Zhu Tiandao said, "Oh, do you have nothing else to say? Good. It's my turn to speak. Apart from my previous request, I also need the Six-Winged Divine Sect to be exterminated. What a joke. We have Invincibles on standby in the Human Realm, yet nothing is being done when our own experts are being hunted by the cult. The Six-Winged Divine Sect must be wiped out. That is the only way to preserve our honor.

"The Yuan Family and Great Xia are useless. Yuan Qingdong volunteered to deal with the Six-Winged Divine Sect, but where is he? I reckon he's a traitor as well. We need to arrest him and conduct a thorough investigation on his affiliation. Invincibles are hard to investigate, but it is fine to investigate a tiny first-stage Sunmoon, right?"

"Prefect Zhu!"

The Yuan Family head frowned and said, "It is improper for you to be the one to judge whether my son is a traitor or not."

Zhu Tiandao nonchalantly said, "Sure. Answer me. Where's Yuan Qingdong? Did he save the people he was supposed to save? Did he kill the cultists he was supposed to kill? No? Then this is dereliction of duty. He is a piece of trash. Why should we keep garbage like him around? Does Great Han King agree that the Six-Winged Divine Sect should be eliminated?"

Great Han King replied, "Yes."

Zhu Tiandao smiled, "Good. Also, the eight families can take charge of this mission. The Six-Winged Divine Sect has two known Sunmoons and six known Mountainseas. If the eight families can't even deal with a sect like this, they might as well quit their current positions."

After thinking about it, Great Han King said, "The eight families shall be in charge of eliminating the Six-Winged Divine Sect. I want to see the heads of all their experts at the Mountainsea Realm and above."

Zhu Tiandao continued, "Great Ming has suffered disastrous losses. We require external help to recuperate. Out of the 300,000 Strength Guard soldiers protecting the Knowledge Seeking Realm, I wish to conscript 100,000 of them to protect Great Ming."

"Cough, cough, cough..." V/\IssịT n0(v)eL/b(i)(n).𝘤𝑜/𝓂 for the b/est novel reading experi/en/ce

Numerous people started coughing.

What a brazen demand.

The Strength Guard of the Knowledge Seeking Realm was an army of soldiers trained by the experts in the Knowledge Seeking Realm. Even the weakest of them was a Skysoar. And these people were also the main force used by the Knowledge Seeking Realm to contend against the Myriad Race Cult.

These soldiers did not participate in the battles on the front lines. Their main mission was to protect the home of humanity. What an audacious demand. He had actually asked for 100,000 of them at one go.

Even Great Ming's Iron Cavalry with Skysoars as the weakest soldier in the army had no more than 5,000 soldiers.

As for Great Xia, one of the three strongest prefectures, their Martial Dragon Guards also wasn't that strong. The Public Regiment of the Martial Dragon Guards only accept Infinite Strength cultivators as soldiers while Skysoars could be promoted into 10-men commanders. As for the Secret Regiment, their soldiers would start from the Skysoar Realm.

The Strength Guard soldiers of the Knowledge Seeking Realm might also start from the Skysoar Realm, but these soldiers were actually weaker than the elite armies of the various prefectures. Their cultivation had mostly been obtained through the use of medications. But their sheer quantity made them a force to be reckoned with.

Zhu Tiandao said, "Great Ming has just been attacked by nine Sunmoons. Why is it such a surprise that I need 100,000 soldiers to protect us against further attacks? It's not like the Knowledge Seeking Realm has been doing anything. These 300,000 soldiers are not cheap to raise. Why are you keeping them around if you're not using them?"

"..."

The moment those words were said, someone furiously retorted, "You need to remove those sky devouring ants as soon as possible!"

Zhu Tiandao frowned and said, "What are you talking about? The ants came themselves. It has nothing to do with us. Don't even think of stepping all over me. I won't budge. I need 100,000 Strength Guard soldiers protecting Great Ming. If that is not acceptable, go kill nine more Sunmoons and I will change my mind."

He looked at Great Han King and said, "Great Han King, that is a reasonable thing to ask for, right? If Great Han is attacked by nine Sunmoons while you're away, would you think that it's excessive of Brother Liu to ask for some Strength Guard soldiers to protect Great Han? If you guys really can't accept this, just get my dad to return and protect Great Ming. Do you think I really value the Strength Guard that much?"
