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

The Great Han King's eyelids twitched wildly. This guy Yun Chen was really taking advantage of the situation!

Even if you're blatantly lying, you still need to have some factual basis, right?

There's no one like him.

"Hahaha," the Great Han King laughed loudly, then said, "Nephew Yun, there must be some misunderstanding. How could they dare to attack you? Everyone knows your strength. Attacking you would be courting death, wouldn't it? Don't you agree?"

The members of the eight families nodded in agreement. It was indeed as the Great Han King had said. Otherwise, when the gate was broken down, they would have rushed forward immediately. Why would they be so timid and hesitant now? It was only because they were afraid of Yun Chen's strength.

Yun Chen certainly didn't expect his argument to get the King of Han to punish these people; he just wanted to say it to disgust them.

"Alright, let's put this misunderstanding aside for now, but it's an indisputable fact that some of them have said they want to punish my Great Xuan Mansion. I urge Uncle Liu to uphold justice for my Great Xuan Mansion, otherwise my father will not agree, my mother will not agree, and neither will the sixty Sun and Moon Realm Masters and hundreds of Mountain and Sea Realm Masters of my Great Xuan Mansion!"

"This……"

Yun Chen brought up so many people at once, putting the Great Han King in a dilemma. He had already stopped those fools from speaking, but it was too late to say anything now.

The Great Han King's expression turned serious. "Nephew Yun, could you please give Uncle Liu some face? You should go back first today. I will definitely give your Great Xuan Mansion a satisfactory explanation. Otherwise, if this continues, it will be bad for everyone's reputation."

After saying that, the King of Han stared blankly at Yun Chen.

After pondering for a moment, Yun Chen said, "Alright, then I'll give Uncle Liu face today. Three days. I hope to get a satisfactory answer from Uncle Liu in three days, how about that?"

"No problem, three days is fine."

Three days is enough time for him to handle it.

After receiving the reply from the King of Han, Yun Chen looked at the people from those families, chuckled, and then turned and disappeared into the horizon.

Of the eight great families in the Seeking Realm, apart from the Zhu family being rather incompetent, even the Zhou family sent some useless people over, which is why Yun Chen looked down on them so much—because there weren't many good ones among them.

After Yun Chen had gone some distance, the others rushed to the Great Han King to complain: "Great Han King, the villain is fierce, please do justice for us!"

Upon hearing this, the Great Han King glared at them fiercely, and they were all sent flying backward, spitting out blood.

The Great Han King roared, "Traitor? You call the lord of a prefecture a traitor? Then isn't the Great Xuan King the traitor you speak of?"

"Haven't you learned your lesson today? Believe me or not, the Great Xuan King will come knocking on your door with his sword in hand in a moment. Believe me or not, your elders won't, and wouldn't, avenge you?"

"Have you guys eaten too much shit? You don't even think before you speak! A bunch of bastards! I think Yun Chen is right, a bunch of useless trash!"

The group was reprimanded by the King of Han, and they all shrank back, shrugging their shoulders. The King of Han became more and more annoyed.

"Those who insulted the Great Xuan Mansion today and clamored for its punishment, have some self-awareness and step forward. I know whether you said it or not, so don't harbor any illusions!"

After the King of Han finished speaking, a moment passed before someone stepped forward.

Seeing someone take the lead, others followed suit and stepped forward. A dozen or so people walked out, half of whom were from the He family. Almost every other family had one or two people, except for the Zhu family, who never expressed their opinions.

"Hmph, you're good enough to be honest!"

The Great Han King glanced around and saw that everyone who had expressed dissatisfaction with the Great Xuan Palace had stepped forward. His expression softened slightly. If anyone had been dishonest and tried to get away with it, he would have really lost his temper.

The Great Han King looked at them coldly and said, "Tell me, what should we do now? Should I hand you over, or should we turn against the Great Xuan Palace?"

Although the King of Han asked such a question, he had already made his choice in his heart: to hand over the person!

He didn't feel bad at all about handing over these useless people; it was good to use their lives to warn others.

As for whether the other invincible ones have any complaints, that's none of the Great Han King's business. If they want an explanation, they should go to the Great Xuan Mansion and see if Yun Jie will reason with them.

Besides, the number of people handed over is not large, and there are no invincible direct relatives among them. They are just some collateral relatives, and I believe they won't say much, since speaking recklessly will have consequences.

The Great Xuan Palace is currently displaying such strength. Not to mention the four invincible warriors in one sect, there are at least seventy or eighty people at the Sun and Moon Realm. Apart from the sixty guarding the border, there are still some within the Great Xuan Palace and on the battlefield of the heavens. Therefore, they guessed that the Great Xuan Palace has around seventy or eighty Sun and Moon Realm experts. They dared not guess more, nor did they believe that the Great Xuan Palace could have so many resources to support them.

They just didn't know that was under normal circumstances, but was the situation in the Great Xuan Mansion normal?

Clearly, this is not normal at all.

Within the same time period.

The Great Mysterious Palace, Yao Guang City.

The Great Xuan Civilization Academy.

Lin Dong and Su Yu appeared here.

Looking at his brilliant "grandson," Lin Dong said, "Actually, I think you don't need to come to the academy anymore. With your current strength, it probably won't help you improve much here."

"Why don't you join my Xuanwu Army? I can give you the position of commander of ten thousand men. Once you take flight, you will be the leader of a general."

Lin Dong was indeed speaking from the heart. This was the first time he had ever seen someone with the strength of Wan Shi slay a Lingyun Realm expert. Although Su Yu had borrowed the power of the essence blood, it was indeed Su Yu's own ability.

Of course, he also wanted to bring such a promising talent as Su Yu under his wing as soon as possible. Now he was in a position to take advantage of the opportunity. If he didn't seize the chance, would he just watch the "duck" fly away?

Su Yu shook his head, not quite agreeing with Lin Dong's point of view. "Commander Lin is mistaken. Su Yu still has a lot to learn, so he still needs to attend the academy."

"Therefore, Su Yu can only temporarily disappoint the legion commander's good intentions."

After saying that, Su Yu gave Lin Dong an apologetic smile.

"Haha, it's alright. It's good to study more at the academy."

Lin Tong wasn't surprised that Su Yu would refuse him, because he knew that Su Yu was a very opinionated and decisive person, and he must have already thought about his future plans.

But even though we understand the situation clearly, we still have to recruit them. What if we succeed?

It wouldn't hurt to give it a try.

But Lin Tong didn't intend to give up so easily. He said, "How about you join after you graduate? We can sign an agreement first. Then, the Xuanwu Army will take care of all your resources while you're in the academy and after you join the legion!"

At this moment, Lin Dong had no idea how much resources Su Yu consumed. Not to mention his Xuanwu Army, even the four major legions combined might not be able to support Su Yu.

It was fine in the early stages, but after Su Yu took off, the resources he needed increased exponentially.

Because of this, Su Yu had no choice but to target powerful clans, engaging in all sorts of swindling and deception, ultimately turning himself into a half-dead being.

Similarly, Su Yu doesn't know how many resources he will need in the future, but he still declined Lin Dong's offer. He doesn't want to make a choice so quickly. He has only just joined the Great Xuan Mansion and there are still many things he needs to learn. Perhaps there will be a place more suitable for him than the Xuanwu Army.

The two fell silent.

A moment later, Lin Dong broke the deadlock.

"Haha, since that's the case, I won't force you. Let's go, I'll take you to see the dean of your future academy."

Seeing that Su Yu still refused without hesitation, Lin Dong simply gave up and changed the subject.

Su Yu cupped his hands in greeting and said, "Could Commander Lin introduce me?"

Lin Dong was slightly taken aback. "You want me to introduce Zhang Jing?"

"Is the prefect's name Zhang Jing?"

“That’s right,” Lin Tong nodded and said seriously, “Speaking of this mirror, he’s two generations younger than me, but his strength is now about the same as mine.”

Thinking of Zhang Jing, Lin Dong felt a pang of sadness. Back then, all of them, the legion commanders, were left to their own devices by Yun Jie, but Zhang Jing and the others were able to receive the Lord's guidance, which they had envied for a long time.

Su Yu was shocked and quickly asked, "Is the Dean of the Academy also at the ninth level of the Sun and Moon Realm?"

If he remembered correctly, the Great Xia Civilization Academy's Wantian Shengfu was a talent at the Mountain and Sea Realm. Although there were rumors that he was at the Sun and Moon Realm, it had never been confirmed.

Lin Tong shook his head. "I don't know his exact cultivation level. Everyone is keeping it a secret, but it's probably at least at the Sun and Moon Realm."

"One by one?"

Now Su Yu was even more confused. How many were there exactly? It sounded terrifying.

"Oh, I misspoke. There are only two: Zhang Jing from the Academy of Civilization and Chen Henian from the Academy of War."

Lin Dong quickly changed his tune, saying that he couldn't say such things carelessly. If it were just a group of low-level Sun and Moon cultivators, it wouldn't be so daunting, but if it were a bunch of high-level Sun and Moon cultivators, the myriad races would probably be on edge by now.

Those at the Nine Heavens level are very likely to attain enlightenment. It might be acceptable for three or five people to do so, but a large number of them would be unacceptable. If that were the case, the battlefield of the heavens would not be as peaceful as it is now.

Nevertheless, the high-profile actions of the Great Xuan Palace have attracted the attention of many forces, including the myriad races.

The Great Xuan Palace originally had more than forty Sun and Moon Realm experts on the surface, and now more than twenty more have suddenly appeared. There must be at least ten or twenty more hidden ones, right?

The forces that the Great Xuan Mansion currently displays are certainly not their full strength; this is a consensus among everyone. However, no one knows exactly how much more they are hiding.

Most of the Sun and Moon Realm cultivators within the Great Xuan Mansion had already been ordered by Yun Jie not to move around freely; they were currently either in some ruins or some secret realm.

Or they could disguise themselves as ordinary people and hide among the masses. Finding them would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. Moreover, gathering intelligence within the Great Xuan Mansion is an extremely difficult task; it would be good enough if they didn't reveal their existence.

Closer to home.

"Zhang Jing is a pretty easy person to talk to. He can chat with anyone and is always smiling and kind. But I always feel that he is treacherous and may be up to no good."

Lin Tong suddenly realized that what he said was not very good, so he changed his words and said, "Ahem, of course, these are just my personal opinions about him, and they are not for reference. Everyone has a very good impression of him, otherwise he would not have been appointed as the dean of the Great Xuan Civilization Academy."

Su Yu nodded. Okay, I understand. It seems this prefect is not simple either. Otherwise, why would a legion commander think he is sinister for no reason? He is probably the same kind of person as Prefect Wan.

Sure enough, none of those who could become deans of civilized academies were good people; they were all rotten to the core!

"Haha, let's put aside what Zhang Jing is like for now. Let me tell you about the Academy of Civilization. It was founded in..."

"Commander Lin, there's no need for you to explain to my trainees. Leave the rest to me."

Sudden.

A resentful voice sounded from behind the two, startling Lin Dong and Su Yu so much that they quickly turned around and assumed an attack stance.

Upon recognizing the person, Lin Dong said with displeasure, "What, it's you? Can't you make some noise when you walk? You can easily scare people to death by suddenly talking like that, you know?"

Zhang Jing adjusted his glasses with his right middle finger, his gaze deep and unfathomable, and said in a calm tone, "Don't all treacherous people walk like this?"

Clearly, Zhang Jing had arrived long ago. He not only overheard Lin Dong's conversation with Su Yu, but also heard every single word of Lin Dong's slander against him.

That's how the scene before us came about.
