Tribulation of Myriad Races

Chapter 338: The More You Know, The Faster You Die (2)

After a while, Chen Yong continued transmitting his voice, "There are too many variables in this. Thus, Teacher stopped talking about it. After all, we don't have the strength to contend against some people. If the data had really been stolen, then you should understand the implications behind it...Even the truth behind the death of the fifth principal might be put into question."

The expressions of Su Yu and Bai Feng changed. Someone had known that the fifth principal would die in advance? That shouldn't be possible. Then, there was only one other possibility. The death of the fifth principal was premeditated.

There was a traitor among humanity! A traitor that might be an Invincible.

Chen Yong said with anguish, "Therefore, we need to stay low key. Pretend we know nothing. We have to ignore all suppression. Not even Teacher can rashly break through into the Sunmoon Realm as doing so might invite the caution of our enemy. That person might even consider eliminating all of us as precaution..."

Su Yu asked, "Why don't we report it..."

Chen Yong sorrowfully said, "But...do you know who the traitor is?"

"..."

Yes. Who was the traitor? What if they reported it and the traitor decided to silence them by killing?

"Then we should escalate the matter." Su Yu said, "Make a big ruckus out of it. Making it impossible for that person to do anything against us from the shadows."

"Where's your proof? Everyone would only believe that we are trying to avoid responsibility by framing an Invincible. They would suspect that we are trying to cause internal strife between Invincible experts of humanity. You need to know that these experts are the ones holding the fort at the front line. Can anyone bear with the consequences of internal strife?"

Chen Yong sighed, "We can't. If the human Invincibles start suspecting each other, what would happen during war? Thus, even if you know something, you can only keep it to yourself. You can't say anything unless you have irrefutable evidence of who the culprit is."

Chen Yong shook his head. But how were they supposed to find irrefutable evidence?

He looked at Su Yu and said, "Thus, it might not be a good idea to fully fall out against the single character faction. In truth, I think that their suppression can act as a form of protection for us."

Su Yu frowned.

Bai Feng gloomily said, "Senior Brother, you're basically saying that the end result would be the same regardless of whether we sit back or hit back. If this continues, it is only a matter of time before our legacy is severed."

"Yeah." Chen Yong sighed, "Thus, Teacher suspected that even the suppression might be the handiwork of that person. Of course, we don't know for sure since everything we know seems to suggest that Great Zhou King is the culprit. But there is no need for him to do this. Teacher speculated that someone is using the Zhou Family as scapegoat. There is another group of people working in the shadows. And these are the ones actually trying to end our legacy."

Bai Feng and Su Yu sank into silence. In short, if they showed off too much, trouble would come knocking. But even if they remained silent, the multiple character faction would be pushed even closer to extinction.

Su Yu was completely speechless. This matter actually involved several Invincibles.

Great Zhou King was one. The dead brother of Great Zhou King was one. The potential traitor was also one.

Su Yu scratched his head, "Martial Uncle, what about Great Xia King?"

Chen Yong shook your head, "You don't have to worry about your grandteacher. But things might get dangerous for Martial Uncle Liu. He has been staying in Nanyuan for so many years and he wouldn't leave unless absolutely necessary. If he remains in Nanyuan, his safety is assured since there are people watching over him there. But it is also unlikely that someone would actually launch a direct attack on him..."

"That's good to hear."

Su Yu was relieved. In that case, there was nothing he needed to worry about.

After thinking for a bit, he asked, "Since there are some people watching over Teacher Liu, why had nobody helped during the cult attack?"

Chen Yong smiled bitterly, "Watching over does not mean they are friendly. Do you understand now?"

"Oh."

Understanding dawned on Su Yu. Rather than saying that those people were watching over Liu Wenyan, it was more apt to say that they were monitoring him. For them, it really wasn't that important whether Liu Wenyan was dead or alive. They only needed to stay informed about his situation.

Su Yu had not expected that things were actually this complicated. Clearly, Chen Yong had initially intended to hide this from them. Su Yu could also guess the reason for Chen Yong to say all that now.

"Martial Uncle, you mean that we should maintain the status quo and stay low key?"

He suspected that both Hong Tan and Chen Yong had deliberately acted as turtles all these years. They were able to stay patient even after their faction was on the verge of being suppressed out of existence.

Chen Yong said, "You're a new student. If you want to put up a fight, do it. It is better for you to do it than us since that would limit the conflict to the realm of students. But never mention any of what you have learned today. Remember that unless absolutely necessary, even with your grandteacher around, he will not be making any moves."

Chen Yong inhaled deeply and said, "Just do as you see fit. Perhaps...only silently taking a beating is not a good idea. Maybe your rise can bring us some pleasant surprises. But you need to be very careful."

Su Yu nodded. Sure enough, the more one knew, the more dangerous things would get. Sigh. His martial uncle should have kept him ignorant. Wasn't it blissful to be ignorant? Why must his martial uncle tell him? Because of that, he was starting to feel slightly afraid.

Sigh. If even his teacher had been clueless for so many years, why had his martial uncle decided to tell him? What was his martial uncle thinking?

As he thought about that, he looked at Bai Feng. At this time, the same thought crossed Bai Feng's mind as he questioned, "Senior Brother, what is the meaning of this. Why hadn't you told me all these years? Why are you telling us today after what this kid did?"

Chen Yong replied unhurriedly, "Because...you're not as good at making trouble as him."

Yes. It was that simple. Sure, Bai Feng was no pushover, but his actions were still reasonable. As for this student of his, he could probably cause the sky itself to collapse if they left him alone for three days.

Just look at him! He had been in the academy for two months. What had he done during this period of time? How many times had he scammed the single character faction?

He had even offended a peak Mountainsea cultivator like Zhou Mingren. Previously, Zhou Mingren had not been taking Su Yu seriously. He had been happy with letting his underlings handle Su Yu. But Su Yu had most definitely left a deep impression of himself in Zhou Mingren's mind after the earlier incident.

Simply put, Chen Yong had said all that to scare Su Yu, hoping that he would hold back a little after this. Otherwise, he was really going to attract more trouble than they could handle one of these days.

Bai Feng had an awkward look. Was his senior brother looking down on him? Did his senior brother think that he wasn't good enough at making trouble? Just wait!

Wait until his research on racial ability character was completed. At that time, he would create a storm that would engulf not only the academy, but the entire Human Realm or even the Myriad Realms. Nobody would dare to think that he was not good at troublemaking anymore. How would he, the great Bai Feng, be incomparable to his own student?

Of course, Bai Feng himself was also aware of the trouble he might attract after completing his research. He was starting to wonder if the data left by the fifth principal was related to the same subject.

After all, they had only started researching ability blood essence due to some of the information the fifth principal had left behind. Hong Tan wouldn't have insisted on working on the same research for so many years otherwise.
