Chapter 1180: Nan Wujiang (3)

At the same time.

Out of nowhere, Silverwing spoke to Su Yu, "Lord, the Titanic Strength Sect master wishes to have a conversation with the pavilion."

Titanic Strength Sect master? The seventh-stage Sunmoon?"

"Yes."

Su Yu rubbed his chin and laughed, "Even a late-stage Sunmoon is starting to surrender? Is this a trap? The Myriad Race Cult is actually capable of putting up a fight against us. No matter what, they still have four late-stage Sunmoons. That First Divine Sect master and Lan Tian are both super experts. Why are they submitting so easily?"

How odd.

Su Yu greatly suspected that this was a trap. During the past few days, he had been attacking the cult non-stop. Some cultists were directly killed while some would be accepted as his subordinates. He had also snatched a lot of riches during this process, and the riches had been distributed among his subordinates depending on their contribution. The ex-cultists had all profited massively from selling out their own.

These riches were unable to catch Su Yu's eyes. For him, none of these so-called treasures were really that valuable. After recruiting two more Sunmoons, he had amassed twelve early Sunmoons and two middle Sunmoons under him.

A group like this was already as strong as the cult at its peak if the eighth elder and First Profound were also included.

Su Yu was quite surprised to learn that even a late-stage Sunmoon from the cult wished to have a talk with him. A late-stage Sunmoon couldn't be subdued so easily. Not even the sunmoon profound yellow liquid was attractive enough to buy the loyalty of such people. They cared more about carrier treasures instead.

Upon reaching the seventh stage, a Sunmoon needed to start thinking about their future dao affirmation.

But no matter how rich the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion might be, it wouldn't be able to easily offer carrier treasures to its members. It definitely had some to spare, but the number would be limited. And there were plenty of elders in the pavilion waiting for these carrier treasures.

Su Yu looked at First Profound and asked, "Elder, is this a trap? According to what we know, there are still four late-stage Sunmoons in the cult. The First Divine Sect master might be a ninth-stage Sunmoon or even a Pseudo Invincible."

First Profound said, "We will know after the talk. If you're worried about this being a trap, just get the third and eighth elders to go with you as well. With them around, you can simply smash through all traps."

"True." Su Yu nodded, "Silverwing, tell him we agree to a meeting. Advise him to come with his real body as a show of his sincerity. The pavilion will not mistreat top experts like him. Not even someone like me is qualified to control these late-stage Sunmoons. If he's willing to join, he can go under First Profound Elder. He will be similarly ranked as me. After we exit the Human Realm, he will be further rewarded depending on his contributions. If you ask me, he will be promoted into an elder after this."

Yes, Su Yu himself lacked the qualification to have late-stage Sunmoons as his subordinates. Fortunately, he had First Profound, the convenient puppet by his side. As an eighth-stage Sunmoon, First Profound was qualified for this job.

Silverwing answered, "Yes, Lord. I'll notify him. I hope he'll be tactful."

Due to Goldwing's death, Silverwing had not been able to gain much from the information Goldwing knew. But he had still earned a lot during the past few days. He was looking forward to the exit from the Human Realm. During the past few days, he was able to experience how it felt to be a part of a powerful organization. It felt amazing.

He had been given the opportunity to attack his previous rivals. With more than ten Sunmoons by his side, they only needed to throw an attack each to kill the opponent. This was unlike how things were during his time with Goldwing. Each time they attempted to kill someone, they had to act stealthily with extreme caution.

During the past few days, they had also encountered some myriad race experts while attacking the stubborn cultists. Profound Nine had acted overbearingly and told those myriad race experts to either piss off or die. Surprisingly, the myriad race experts had actually chosen to not interfere.

This felt great. This was how it felt to work under the banner of an organization backed by eight Invincibles.

Recently, Silverwing had found himself a new dream: to become the leader of operations like Profound Nine. He could run around with a bunch of experts and oppress everyone around them. When he was in trouble, he could call for more help. This was the kind of life he had been dreaming to have.

During the past few days, he had been able to meet even a Pseudo Invincible every single day. Initially, he would be nervous each time he was in the presence of the elder. But eventually, he got used to it.

With the pavilion, he was able to expand both his horizons and experience. These pavilion members were extremely wealthy. They were actually freely using heavenly source qi to recover from their exhaustion.

As for their Sunmoons, almost all of them would cultivate using sunmoon profound yellow liquid. Silverwing couldn't help but recall how as a cultist, he could only use some sunmoon profound yellow liquid once every three to five years. Even that was considered a massive expenditure.

Silverwing had been thinking that if he had been able to cultivate like these pavilion members as well, he would have reached the third-stage Sunmoon Realm or higher long ago. Only after joining the pavilion did Silverwing come to realize just how poor the cult was.

And he was not alone in thinking this way. All the recently joined cultists shared the same opinion. So far, Su Yu had been able to recruit five cultist Sunmoons under his wing. After going out on several missions with the pavilion, these cultists were able to feel very clearly how things had changed for them.

Profound Nine might be overbearing, but he was very fair when distributing the spoils of battle. Everyone would receive a fair share depending on their contribution. Or perhaps these spoils of war were simply not valuable enough to catch Profound Nine's eyes.

While Su Yu was preparing for his meeting with the Titanic Strength Sect master.

Rumors about the First Divine Sect master started spreading among some Sunmoons in the Human Realm. They were told to search for the First Divine Sect master and test his strength. Of course, it would be extremely difficult to kill such a person. Officially, the sect master was a ninth-stage Sunmoon. Unless one was a Pseudo Invincible or an Invincible, killing him would almost be impossible.

As for their suspicion of Wan Tiansheng's strength, it further dropped. Even if Wan Tiansheng had been hiding his strength, none suspected that he would be stronger than the seventh-stage Sunmoon Realm. Even if he was stronger than that, he would only be an eighth-stage Sunmoon. Or even a ninth-stage Sunmoon. That would be absolutely crazy, but so what?

Yes, a ninth-stage Sunmoon was strong. So? The mysterious expert who had fight alongside Ye Batian back then was the one they should fear instead. That person was terrifyingly strong and talented. Very few people could kill an Invincible with only a tri-life body. Not even Xia Longwu could do something like that.

Someone so talented was extremely rare even among the major races. Thus, it was very believable that the mysterious expert was actually Nan Wujiang. It was perfectly logical for Ye Batian to trust his own teacher enough to allow his teacher to stay beside him during his dao affirmation.

An enemy in the open was not as dangerous as a hidden enemy. And the hidden traitor was what Great Xia feared the most. On the other hand, the mysterious expert by Ye Batian's side was the person he feared most.

It was becoming increasingly obvious that while Great Xia was trying to figure out who the traitor was, the traitor was also trying to figure out who the mysterious expert was. After so many years, some clues about the mysterious expert had finally appeared. This was all thanks to Lan Tian.

In the past, everyone thought that Nan Wujiang was dead. Thus, nobody bothered to look at the matter from this angle. But the moment Lan Tian pointed out the possibility that Nan Wujiang was the First Divine Sect master, the answer suddenly became a lot clearer.

With a proper direction, further investigation into that mysterious expert became much easier than before.

While First Divine Sect master's background was being investigated.

Nanyuan continued shocking everyone.

On the 1st of November, Hong Tan advanced into the second-stage Sunmoon Realm.

On the 3rd of November, Xia Yunji advanced into the Sunmoon Realm.

On the 4th of November, Zhao Mingyue advanced into Sunmoon Realm.

On the 5th of November, Hu Ping advanced into the Sunmoon Realm.

𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

The world was shocked. The Myriad Realms was shocked.

In the span of five days, three people had advanced into the Sunmoon Realm. All of them were from the multiple character faction. Hong Tan was even showing signs of further advancing into the third stage. This further stirred the numerous people who were paying attention to Nanyuan.

Culture Tomb!

A priceless treasure!

Naturally, Bai Feng had also broken through into the Cloudbreach Realm during this time. Alas, he was too much of a small fry that nobody cared.

What? After the appearances of several Sunmoons, who would care about a mere Cloudbreach? Yes, Bai Feng's advancement had generated quite a spectacle, proving his talent as a cultivator. But even the strongest Cloudbreach would still be a Cloudbreach. Even someone as strong as Mo Duona wouldn't proclaim himself stronger than Sunmoons.

The myriad race experts were not the only ones stirring. Even the human experts were getting excited as well.

The secret multiple character cultivators who had just returned from the minor realms started heading toward Nanyuan in excitement. Some of them were even escorted by some considerably powerful experts. These experts intended to negotiate with the Xia Family to have these young geniuses enter Su Yu's house as well.

If those from Great Xia's multiple character faction could advance so easily, these secret multiple character cultivators could probably do so as well. This was an extremely rare opportunity. As fellow multiple character cultivators, Hong Tan and the others would accord them that much respect, right?

As for the Xia Family, they would not be so selfish that they weren't willing to share the ruin with their fellow humans, right?

The tiny Nanyuan had become the absolute center of attention. Even the open battles between the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion and the Myriad Race Cult were completely ignored. Nobody could afford to remove their gaze from Nanyuan.
