The mastermind behind the scenes starting with the calamity of all races

And for some reason, Yun Chen just wanted to tease his nephew a little. Seeing his panicked eyes, he felt an indescribable sense of pleasure.

Yun Chen thought to himself: So this is how fun it is to bully the younger generation? It's really great, really great.

It took Su Yu a long time to come to his senses. He immediately admitted defeat, "Hehe, please forgive me, Lord of the Manor. I was just bragging. Don't take it seriously."

Yun Chen remained silent, quietly watching his "performance".

Su Yu took a deep breath and continued, "I am deeply honored by the presence of the Lord of the Manor. Please accept my bow."

With that, Su Yu bowed deeply to Yun Chen.

Yun Chen just smiled and looked at him, making Su Yu feel uneasy.

Su Yu felt uneasy, thinking: I've already backed down, surely the dignified Lord of the Manor wouldn't be so petty?

Chapter 161 Shocks Su Yu for a Whole Year [Please Subscribe, Please Subscribe to All Chapters!]

······

Perhaps worried that he might scare Su Yu away, Yun Chen decided to stop while he was ahead and said cheerfully, "I was just kidding. Don't be too nervous, relax."

Su Yu gave an awkward smile and did not respond. It would be a lie to say he wasn't nervous. This was the first time he had ever seen a mansion lord-level figure in person. He had only seen such figures on television before, and the one on television was Xia Longwu, not the one in front of him.

Seeing Su Yu's hesitant manner, Yun Chen pretended to be displeased and said, "Where did your aura go? A genius should show the spirit of a genius. This won't do."

After a period of calm, Su Yu gradually calmed down. He was just caught off guard by Yun Chen's sudden appearance; he was actually quite brave.

Yun Chen nodded, satisfied, and said, "That's right, just like that."

Su Yu said in a deep voice, "I apologize for making you laugh, Lord of the Manor."

"Haha, it's alright. It's normal for young people to brag when they're young and impetuous," Yun Chen waved his hand, then pointed to the sofa, "Sit down and let's talk."

At this moment, Lin Xian suddenly stood up, bowed respectfully, and said, "Lord of the Manor, I'll go out and keep watch. You two talk."

"No need. You already know what you need to know, and you won't know what you shouldn't know. Just stay here. Anyway, you're not going to say anything shameful."

Yun Chen stopped Lin Xian. He hadn't made any special effort to conceal his presence. Wan Tiansheng, Xia Xiaoer, and the others had already noticed his arrival, but the others didn't have the ability to do so.

Then Yun Chen turned his gaze to Su Yu and chuckled, "Su Yu, now that I've come in person, how about that? Is that sincere enough? Does that show me enough respect?"

"Of course, thank you for your attention, Lord of the Manor."

Without even thinking, Su Yu replied that the Great Xuan Palace's sincerity was indeed the highest possible. He couldn't very well ask the Great Xuan King to come and see him, could he?

"Hehe, in that case, tell me your conditions. As long as they're not too unreasonable, I can agree to them."

Yun Chen accepted the tea that Lin Xian had brewed for him and smiled faintly.

Su Yu tentatively asked, "Sir, wouldn't you first ask what I can bring to the Great Xuan Mansion?"

Yun Chen shook his head and said, "No, no, no, what we value most is the person, not what you can bring us. Even if you don't have any other added value, your talent alone is enough for us to win you over."

Yun Chen's answer surprised Su Yu. He thought that Da Xuan Mansion valued his research and development capabilities and achievements, but now it seems that this is not the case.

Yun Chen naturally noticed the surprise in Su Yu's eyes and said with a faint smile, "What? Do you think we're after your research results? Or do you think we'd be interested in your abilities?"

Su Yu remained silent for a long time before saying in a deep voice, "I still have some self-awareness. With my own talent alone, I'm afraid it's not enough to make you, the Lord of the Manor, make this trip, is it?"

“Yes, there are other reasons,” Yun Chen did not deny it. Su Yu was suspicious, and once he found something was wrong, he would probably immediately turn around and run to the embrace of other families. Yun Chen continued, “Speaking of which, it is related to Lin Xian’s family. You don’t need to worry about the details for now. You will know when the time comes.”

"What does this have to do with my family?" Lin Xian asked in surprise. Could it be that his family was related to Su Yu?

Su Yu's doubts were not dispelled. To dispel them, Yun Chen continued, "Do you think your invention of the Double Wu Merging Technique is very powerful and valuable?"

Su Yu nodded without hesitation. As the inventor of the Shuangwu Heqiao Method, he himself had a deep understanding of the power of the Heqiao Method.

With the Double Wu Merging Technique, the cultivation speed of the Ten Thousand Stone Realm can be increased by an unknown amount. How could anyone think that such a good technique is not valuable?

“Yes, the value is indeed not bad, but that’s only for those at the Ten Thousand Stone Realm,” Yun Chen then turned to Lin Xian and said, “Lin Xian, you tell Su Yu about the current strength of our Great Xuan Mansion.”

Lin Xian nodded. As Lin Dong's great-grandson, he had some understanding of the apparent strength of the Great Xuan Mansion. He might not be able to give specific details, but he could give a general overview. He looked at Su Yu and said, "Currently, our Great Xuan Mansion has two invincible individuals, more than forty Sun and Moon Realm cultivators, more than two hundred Mountain and Sea Realm cultivators, and several thousand Cloud Realm cultivators. We haven't done a count yet on those at the Sky Soaring Realm or below, but it's certain that while those at the Sky Soaring Realm and Ten Thousand Stone Realm aren't exactly everywhere in the Great Xuan Mansion, they are almost ubiquitous."

Holy crap!

Su Yu couldn't help but swear. Was there something wrong with his ears? Was he hallucinating?

Did I hear an extra zero?

Looking at the shocked Su Yu, Lin Xian felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction. Hehe, little brat, you're scared, aren't you?

But that's not all. Lin Xian continued, "These are just the visible forces. A thorough investigation will reveal them. As for how many people are operating in the shadows, we'll have to ask the Lord of the Manor."

Su Yu mechanically looked at Yun Chen, who nodded slightly and smiled, "This is indeed only the apparent strength. As for the rest, I can't say more. Guess for yourself, guess boldly, haha."

Su Yu fell silent. This guy was only in the top three of the Human Realm? He was more like number one!

Since enrolling, Su Yu had considered himself to have seen many storms and had developed a much stronger mental fortitude, but at this moment, he was truly shocked by the strength of the Great Xuan Mansion.

"So? Do you still think your Harmony Technique is important? It is indeed important to other major prefectures, but it's just so-so to us."

Su Yu took a deep breath. In order to be able to offer more and better conditions later, Su Yu decided to increase his bargaining chips. He said in a deep voice, "I also have a technique that can eliminate all the repulsive forces of the Myriad Stone Realm, plus a basic scripture that can open the 36 Divine Apertures."

Yun Chen nodded slightly. "The Aperture-Combating Technique that can eliminate all repulsive forces is indeed good. However, I am not very interested in the basic scripture you mentioned. You don't know, do you? Our Yun family's inherited basic scripture can open 108 divine apertures, ranking first in the human realm."

Su Yu's eyelids twitched violently. 108 divine apertures? Holy crap, what kind of divine family is this? Are they that abnormal?

Wait, the Yun family?

At this moment, Su Yu remembered his grandfather. Wasn't his grandfather surnamed Yun? Could it be that he had some connection with the Yun family?

It's a pity I don't know my grandfather's full name, otherwise I could have asked him.

Perhaps we can find an opportunity to go back to Nanyuan and ask. Just based on the top-level Earth-rank cultivation technique and two mid-level Heaven-rank martial arts techniques that Yun Jie took out, Su Yu is very curious about Yun Jie's identity.

Seeing that Su Yu remained silent, Yun Chen looked at him with a smile and said, "Anything else? Continue."

Su Yu was speechless. Why did this Lord Yun seem a bit frivolous?

Was he flirting with me?

Chapter 162 One Family, Four Invincibles, Are You Afraid? [Please Subscribe, Please Subscribe to All!]

······

Su Yu wanted to say something more to demonstrate his value.

Yun Chen interrupted him directly, "Let's not talk about anything else for now. Tell me your conditions. I'll say it again, I can agree to anything that isn't unreasonable."

Yun Chen's words caught Su Yu off guard. He had wanted to elevate himself, but why wasn't he given the chance?

This is putting me in a difficult position!

But then, Su Yu asked his biggest concern: "Lord of the Palace, aren't you worried about being antagonized by the Single Divine Script faction for accepting me? In other words, Lord of the Palace, don't you need to prove your Dao? I've heard that you are the most likely person among the human race to prove your Dao."

Yun Chen was speechless for a moment, then chuckled and said, "Is that what you're worried about?"

Su Yu nodded. "What else?"

The Xia family lord retired behind the scenes because he needed to prove his Dao, and the Great Xia family also stopped its external wars for many years. The entire Great Xia family was enduring and making concessions in every way, all so that Xia Longwu could successfully prove his Dao. Therefore, Su Yu felt that Yun Chen would do the same.

"Well, it's understandable that you would think that way. After all, that's how the Xia family is right now. It gives you the wrong feeling that if someone from any family wants to prove their Dao, they will be afraid of this and that, and be controlled by others everywhere."

Yun Chen glanced at Su Yu and said, "Have you heard of my strength?"

Su Yu wanted to roll his eyes. What was the point of asking this question now?

But Su Yu patiently replied, "I heard my senior uncle say that you and your brother are the closest and most likely to achieve enlightenment among the human race. In that case, you should be the strongest beings below the Invincible level, right?"

Yun Chen shook his head. "Your statement is too general. You should know your grandmaster Ye Batian, right? What do you think of his strength?"

Su Yu's expression turned solemn. "Strong! Extremely strong! To kill an invincible alien race with a near-invincible body, I estimate there aren't many like him among the human race."

Yun Chen chuckled and said, "Then do you know that my brother and I are no less than him? Even if he's invincible, we can still defeat him!"

By the end, Yun Chen's smile had vanished, replaced by an extremely serious expression.

"Therefore, they dare not force us. If they push us too far, my brother and I will simply give up on our path to enlightenment. Once we give up, they will be the ones who suffer. My father has a bad temper, and his sword will be drawn when the time comes. To be honest, I'm quite looking forward to it, hehe."

"Moreover, our Yun family has four invincible warriors. Do they dare to offend us? Can they afford to offend our Great Xuan Mansion? If they anger us, none of them will be able to attain enlightenment."

"Now, do you understand? There's absolutely no need to worry about Shan Shenwen and his people. If they dare to cause trouble or cause trouble in the Great Xuan Mansion, I'll just crush them!"

Yun Chen paused for a moment, then continued:

"You don't need to worry about our path to enlightenment. That's not something you should concern yourself with. Focus on cultivating and improving your cultivation level. Although your current combat strength is not weak and the 'Ten Thousand Stones Slash Soaring Through the Sky' sounds impressive, it doesn't change the fact that you are only a Ten Thousand Stones Realm cultivator."

As soon as Yun Chen finished speaking, the villa fell silent.

Half a day later.

Su Yu replied in a deep voice, "Su Yu understands and has learned a lot."

"Well, now that we've said so much, it's time to tell you your conditions. Stop dawdling."

After pondering for a long time, Su Yu said, "I want resources, a lot of resources, especially the essence blood and will runes of various races, the more the better. Secondly, I need a relaxed environment. I don't want to be suppressed by the single divine rune faction anymore..."
