Tribulation of Myriad Races

Chapter 1171: Myriad Race Cult's Shot-Caller (3)

Shortly after, the eighth elder replied, "It's fine. He's right. The pavilion fears nobody. Anyone standing in our way shall die. Are the myriad races going to go after us for only a few geniuses and Sunmoons?"

The pavilion was an organization with eight Invincibles, and some of them might even be ancient Invincibles. Would anyone want to provoke them so easily? Thus, they only needed to focus on profit.

White One had nothing else to say

Before long, one of the sect masters spoke, "Lord, we are willing to join. Do we need to swear an oath or have some seals placed on us?"

"We have none of that nonsense." Su Yu said, "If you find it profitable to become a member, you can continue staying with us. If you find it unprofitable, you can simply destroy your mask and walk away. From then on, the pavilion will no longer have anything to do with you. That is applicable to even me. If one day I find that the pavilion can no longer provide what I require, I will not hesitate to leave. I will stop being Profound Nine."

How generous. The sect masters were full of praise. This was too generous. They could actually leave freely?

Su Yu said, "Remember, this is a unique opportunity. Normally, it won't be easy to join us. This is a special case since we're new here and we require more manpower. Allow me to be frank. Weaklings like you who are among the weakest in the same cultivation level don't normally have the qualification to join us."

An awkward silence descended.

That was too hurtful. But it was also the truth. The Myriad Race Cult had never been too strong. If they were really that stronger, they would have been able to recruit the various young geniuses in the Human Realm instead of settling with those with more ordinary aptitude in cultivation.

First Profound nodded as he said, "Wait a moment. I'll go get some black masks from the enforcer elder. You weren't supposed to lead more than ten black masks, but this is a unique case so an exception will be made for now."

"Thank you, Elder."

First Profound said nothing else and vanished into thin air. The eighth elder was hiding not far from them. He could easily complete the application when he met the eighth elder.

"Lord, the Divine Wind Sect is willing to join!"

"The Silkwyrm Sect is willing to join!"

"Wait." Su Yu looked at the sect master and asked in astonishment, "Silkwyrm Sect?"

The Mountainsea answered nervously, "Yes."

"Even the Silkwyrm King is dead. You sure are brazen to remain the master of this sect even now." Su Yu teased and said, "It's understandable for others to hesitate. But you have nowhere to go. Why did you hesitate so much? If you can survive this, I won't be taking you under me. Maybe some other white masks or elders will be willing to take you."

This was too awkward.

The sect master hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Lord. This lowly one will definitely serve the pavilion with—"

"Don't call yourself that. If you must, use the word subordinate instead." Su Yu raised his voice, "We're the number one organization of the Myriad Realms. Our members are no small fries or cannon fodder. When you see me, you may address me as Lord Profound Nine or Lord White Mask. You may address yourself as a subordinate, not a lowly one. Do you understand me?"

"I understand."

Su Yu snorted and continued, "Don't bring the bad habits from your tiny organization into the pavilion. That's only something bumpkins will do. The Heavenly Hunt Pavilion only deals with the experts and geniuses of the various realms. If you keep acting like this, people can easily see the fear in you. Don't embarrass us."

None of the cultists dared to say anything, but they started feeling something they had never felt before. They...seemed to have become the members of a major power as well! They were no longer rat-like cultists. Rather, they were members of the great Heavenly Hunt Pavilion. This was an organization feared by many.

When First Profound returned with some black masks and Heavenly Hunt Directories, Su Yu told the Silkwyrm Sect master to put one of them on.

With the mask, the sect master's bearing instantly changed. His entire person became subdued. The act of putting the mask on felt oddly symbolic, as though he was severing his ties with his past.

A mysterious mask and a mysterious organization. The lowly sect master had seemingly transformed into a completely different person.

Su Yu said, "I originally had ten black masks under me. From now on, you will be known as Profound Nine Black Eleven. The others will be named in the same style. I'll give you one day to handle your personal affairs. A day later, I will contact all of you through your masks. A venue will be given and all of you will gather there. I don't want to hear any excuses. If you fail to appear, you will be kicked out."

Black Eleven puffed his chest and raised his chin as he answered loudly, "Yes! This subordinate understands!"

"..."

Both First Profound and White One were completely stupefied. Was this really possible? Just how desperate were these cultists for love? No, more like they lacked a sense of security. Just look at how proud and confident that Silkwyrm Sect master became right after joining them.

The cultists around them grew more and more tempted as well. However, the vice sect masters were still hesitating. One of them spoke, "Lord, we're only vice sect masters..."

Su Yu answered impatiently, "You can join yourself without pulling your entire sect in. It doesn't matter. If your sect masters try to create trouble because of this, just stab them in the back. Show us your hideouts and we'll wipe your sect masters out. With them dead, you will no longer have anything to worry about."

Right after hearing that, the vice sect masters put their black masks on unhesitatingly. They had all been working hard for the sake of wealth, strength, and survival. For them, it didn't matter who they served. With such great benefits, why shouldn't they join? Things were getting more and more dangerous in the Human Realm. Joining a stronger organization would probably be better than remaining cultists.

Yes, more than half of them might die after joining the pavilion. But if they remained cultists, all of them might die. They weren't stupid. They knew a good choice when it was presented before them.

Su Yu grinned. Good. With this, he had instantly transformed into the head of the Myriad Race Cult as well. In the past, he once thought of founding a small sect to scam some money. But now...hehehe. The entire cult would be his. The three Sunmoon cultists continued hesitating. After a moment, the Blood Fire Sect master and Lightning Divine Sect master put on their masks as well.

As for Silverwing, he thought about it and sent Su Yu a voice transmission, "Lord, I wish to join as well. But things might be a tad bit more troublesome on my side. My big brother is also a sect master. He's known as Goldwing. Behind him is not only the six-winged divine race, but he also has some involvement with an Invincible. The identity of that Invincible is quite special...but I don't know who that is. However, I did complete a lot of tasks for that Invincible before. I'm worried that he will come after my life if I leave."

Su Yu's heart skipped a beat.

Six-Winged Divine Sect!

Right, this was the sect that had been targeting the multiple character faction the most. They were also the ones who had killed Wu Jia's parents and pursued Chen Yong. Previously, Su Yu was already guessing that they might be related to the traitor.

And what Silverwing said here was basically a confirmation that he was right. Earlier, Silverwing was still calling him Brother Profound Nine. But now, Silverwing was calling him lord. Clearly, Silverwing wanted to break free of the Invincible's control as well. He didn't know the identity of that Invincible, but Goldwing might know.

Su Yu hurriedly replied, "This is very important information. If you can figure out the identity of that Invincible, you stand to earn at least a hundred drops of sunmoon profound yellow liquid. For our operations in the Human Realm, the pavilion is offering us numerous benefits. For any information we provide, we can get thirty percent of the profits from the sale of that information. You might even be able to get a thousand drops of sunmoon profound yellow liquid from this information alone."

Silverwing trembled with shock. Was that real?

Su Yu continued, "I'll take you to our enforcer elder. That's a Pseudo Invincible. Your information is very important. Silverwing, this will be considered a massive contribution to the pavilion. That unknown Invincible might very well be the traitor the human race has been looking for all these years. The human race will be willing to pay any price to buy this information from us."

Silverwing grew incomparably excited, but he also grew nervous at the prospect of seeing a Pseudo Invincible.

He replied, "But I still don't know the identity of that person. Perhaps my big brother has that information, but I'm worried that I won't be able to convince him..."

Su Yu coldly said, "If he's unwilling to confess, we'll simply capture and interrogate him. Silverwing, if you care too much about your past, you will have no choice but to give up on the potential profit of this information."

Silverwing sank into silence. But he most certainly didn't care too much about his past. He wouldn't have said anything otherwise.

After some hesitation, he said, "I'll try to convince my big brother."

He would try his best. If persuasion failed, he would capture his big brother. That was his decision. Su Yu smiled. He wasn't surprised Silverwing would reach this decision. What an unexpected gain.

He had gained three Sunmoons, seventeen Mountainseas, and more clues about the traitor in one go. Not bad at all. And he only needed to use some masks and fifty drops of sunmoon profound yellow liquid for all that. He wasn't even paying out of his own pockets. The pavilion would most certainly agree to pay for this.

Just like that, he had subdued at least one-third of the Myriad Race Cult.

Or perhaps even more than that.
