After a short moment, Bai Feng sent another message, "I don't need anything for myself. Look for my senior brother and protect him in secret for half a year."
"..."
What?
Su Yu had the urge to curse at his teacher. The difficulty of that was too high. He didn't even know where Chen Yong was. He wasn't sure if even the pavilion had that information.
How was he supposed to protect someone he couldn't find? But...that was actually worth trying.
At that thought, Su Yu contacted Rainbow One. That was the enforcer of the Profound Department. He wondered if this enforcer was still alive. Since White One was a sixth-stage Sunmoon, Rainbow One was probably a middle-stage Sunmoon as well.
Since Rainbow One was Su Yu's direct superior in the Human Realm, direct communication between the two was possible.
"Enforcer Rainbow One, my team has settled down in Great Xia. We just finished our first mission not long ago. The mission involves the protection of Bai Feng's cousin, Bai Junsheng. After smoothly completing the mission, we established contact with Bai Feng. He is requesting that we locate Chen Yong and protect him—"
"Be more straightforward."
Rainbow One replied, "Bai Feng, Hong Tan's student, Ye Batian's grandstudent..."Clearly, Rainbow One was considering this request. Rainbow One was very impressed with the Great Xia team. As the enforcer, Rainbow One was able to monitor the communication between the members assigned to Great Xia.
Su Yu had guessed that, so he had been avoiding the public channel unless necessary. He was only sure that his communication with First Profound was still private as it was conducted through a private channel.
Any other channel of communication could be under the monitoring of these enforcers. In fact, his current conversation with Bai Feng as Profound Nine could very well be under monitoring as well. Despite the lack of proof, that was what he suspected.
Rainbow One asked, "Are you asking for assistance from the other teams?"
"Yes. We're doing this to develop the market so I need more help from the headquarters. Bai Feng is an important figure in the Human Realm. Great Xia will be the center of the coming chaos. I need more help since what we're doing here is very crucial."
After thinking about it, Rainbow One gave a reply, "Alright. I'll submit your request to the higher-ups. But remember that Great Xia is very dangerous. You can try to establish contact with people like Bai Feng, but you need to be very careful lest you fall for their tricks."
"I know. By the way, when are the black, rainbow, and gray masks entering the Human Realm? We greatly lack manpower. At the moment, white masks like us need to do everything ourselves, including the smaller missions. We don't have enough people to properly develop the market here."
"We'll try to speed it up."
"Thank you!"
"You're welcome."
Then, Su Yu gave Bai Feng a reply, "I'll give you a reply later. Your request has been submitted to the headquarters. We need some time to locate Chen Yong. We also need to arrange our manpower to protect him. There are too many unknown factors involved so we can't promise completion."
"Fine."
Bai Feng did not really expect that request to be smoothly completed. He said, "Do you accept missions to assassinate Invincibles?"
"...I lack the authority to accept missions of this level."
Damn it! Why was this fellow asking the same thing he asked the pavilion back then?
"You're way too incapable. Are you not ashamed of claiming that you can do everything?"
Bai Feng spoke with disdain, "What about rescuing Su Yu?"
"That's beyond my authority to accept."
"..."
Bai Feng snorted at that reply. When Su Yu heard it, he felt slightly touched. His teacher was still trying to save him.
Next, a different message came from Bai Feng, "Can you send a message to Su Yu?"
"That is doable."
"Tell him to promote in the ancient city that I'm his teacher and authorize me to accept his rewards for him. After killing so many Sunmoons, that kid is entitled to a lot of rewards from the human race. It's a waste to let those rewards unclaimed. As his teacher, I have no choice but to accept his rewards for him."
"..."
Su Yu was left completely speechless. Why was his teacher's way of thinking so similar to him? He had been thinking about the rewards owed to him as well!
"I can try."
"Do your best. Why is it that your organization seems quite unreliable? You can't seem to do anything I ask. Why are you dreaming of establishing yourselves in the Human Realm when you're this incapable?"
Yes. Bai Feng was looking down on them.
"Also, get me an index copy as soon as possible. Can you deliver it to the Great Xia Cultural Research Academy? Just deliver it to the doorstep of our research center."
Once again, Su Yu was rendered speechless. This was a blatant fishing attempt. Of course, he was different from any other pavilion member so he could actually do it. But if he did that, the pavilion might start suspecting him. How could an outsider enter the Great Xia Cultural Research Academy so easily? That would put his disguise at risk.
He was currently lying to everyone through multiple fake identities. He had to be very careful while managing his identities.
"We will try to deliver it as soon as possible. As for the exact drop-off location...we can't disclose that now."
"Tsk. Just be honest and say that you're scared."
Then, Bai Feng ended the conversation and tossed the index copy back to Su Yu. He said, "Don't get mixed up with this organization too much. You're too stupid to deal with them. This organization is filled with bad guys. And they aren't even that impressive as there are still a lot of tasks they don't have the ability to accomplish."
Su Yu could feel that Profound Nine was being looked down on. Whatever.
He nodded and smiled, "I understand, Cousin. Should we set a trap and wipe them all out?"
"Duh. Do you think I don't want to do that as well?" Bai Feng rolled his eyes, "I told them to deliver me an index copy. That way, I can find a chance to kill some of them. But they're not dumb. They know it's dangerous so they don't dare to tell me the time and venue of the drop-off location."
This wasn't even surprising. Su Yu told himself to be careful moving forward. It was clear a lot of people shared such thoughts.
Suddenly, Wu Yuehua appeared in the sky. She said, "I don't think anyone else is coming. Also, let Great Xia deal with the pavilion. Don't get personally involved."
She warned solemnly, "This organization is very powerful. It has always been incredibly mysterious even in the Allheaven Battlefield. It knows a lot of ancient secrets. There are also rumors that some of their department, spire, or chamber leaders are Invincibles that have survived since the ancient past."
Su Yu was surprised to hear that. Were there really such rumors? Probably. In fact, it wouldn't even be that surprising. After all, this was an organization that had existed for a very long time.
And if that was true, the pavilion would be even scarier. Ancient Invincibles...Su Yu had personally witnessed the strength of a stone statue. The stone statue had blasted Devil King Lade apart with only one punch. And that was also an Invincible who had survived since the ancient past.
Bai Feng nodded, "I know. There are some people from Great Xia in that organization as well, but all of them are still stuck with relatively low positions. They are extremely strict in terms of recruitment when it comes to the higher ups such as the white masks and faceless masks. It is very hard for a spy to obtain one of those positions. For these key positions, the pavilion will mostly recruit internally."
Was it so hard to become a white mask? Su Yu was very surprised. He had joined very easily! But he wasn't surprised to hear about spies in the pavilion. After all, they were actively recruiting outsiders into their organization. In fact, Su Yu had received an invitation to join during his first meeting with one of them.
Of course, most of these externally recruited members would not be given a high position in the pavilion. That was why Bai Feng only knew a little about the pavilion but not too much.
While flying above them, Wu Yuehua said, "Just stay away from them. If you really lack some cultivation resources, you can consider buying from them. Even if they don't have what you need, they can also act as the intermediary and contact those with what you need for you."
Bai Feng nodded.
The conversation about the pavilion ended there. He looked at Su Yu again and warned, "You better go back to Great Ming after this. Just spend your time cultivating harder. Are you not embarrassed of running around as a mere Skysoar?"
"You're a Skysoar as well!"
"Me?" Bai Feng snorted coldly, "I would have broken through into the Cloudbreach Realm after a few more days of seclusion. If it wasn't for you, I would still be in seclusion right now. Also, my Skysoar Realm is different than your Skysoar Realm."
Su Yu nodded in agreement. Yes. This was something he agreed strongly with. A Skysoar like Bai Feng was someone a Skysoar like him could crush with one finger. Yes. He considered himself a Skysoar. After all, his physical cultivation was still at the Skysoar Realm.
Strictly speaking, he was only a fresh eighth-stage Skysoar in physical cultivation. Meanwhile, Bai Feng was already at the ninth stage.
***
They conversed as they traveled, but they were still able to move at a decent speed.
As they were already near the capital, the Myriad Race Cult wasn't stupid enough to try anything here. The reward wasn't worth the disastrous losses they had suffered thus far. Even a weak Mountainsea was still a Mountainsea. After a few died attempting this mission, nobody bothered anymore.
In fact, they were starting to curse at the ones who had issued these missions for using them as cannon fodder.
***
Finally, they reached the capital.
This time, Su Yu was no longer the same country bumpkin who would be awed by the sight of the capital. Now, the capital was no different than any other city to him.
As for the guards comprised of Infinite Strength cultivators and some Skysoars, they felt so insignificant. Back when he first arrived here, he was incredibly impressed by the sheer number of people he considered experts. Back then, even Infinite Strength cultivators were experts to him.
But in truth, Infinite Strength cultivators were too weak to even traverse the Allheaven Battlefield independently. Apart from those serving in the military, they were very rarely seen. The few Infinite Strength cultivators one could see would either be experts in disguise or homeless wanderers. Anyone calling an Infinite Strength cultivator an expert would be laughed at.
The three went straight to the Great Xia Cultural Research Academy.
While on their way, Bai Feng said, "You'll stay in the academy for a bit and leave immediately after that."
"Yeah, yeah. You've repeated this so many times. I'll leave, but I need to rest a few days before going on a long journey again, right?"
Su Yu complained, "Aren't you supposed to be a big deal in the Multiple Character Faculty? What's the big deal if I stay here for a few days?"
"You!" Bai Feng was furious. That was not the issue here.
Was this fool not aware that he would drag the Bai Family into the coming chaos through what he did?
Bai Feng was going mad from fury. He was so angry he didn't even want to talk anymore. He shut his mouth and started walking silently. Three days. If this fellow tried to stay more than three days, he would personally knock this guy unconscious before sending him back.
