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

······

Battlefield of the Heavens.

Above the Eastern Rift Valley.

Yun Jie looked at Zhou Tianqi and chuckled, "Old Zhou, what does your Great Zhou Manor mean by this? Are you just throwing away such a genius?"

“Su Yu was able to kill Ling Yun when he was in the Ten Thousand Stones Realm. Now that he has reached the Zhou Tian Forging Body Realm, you are sending someone to challenge him. Even if this Shan Xiong is a genius, do you think he has a chance of winning?”

“That murderous Su Yu won’t show any mercy. You’d better have someone call him back now, or don’t blame us for being ruthless later.”

Zhou Tianqi replied, "It's alright. They chose their own path. If they die, they die. A dead genius isn't a genius. It's not a pity."

Yun Jie said sarcastically, "Tsk tsk, how cold-blooded."

Zhou Tianqi's eyes flickered, but in the end he said nothing.

Cold-blooded? Perhaps.

Having lived for so long, he no longer cares what others say about him; even if they point their fingers at him and curse him, he can still laugh it off.

However, Yun Jie wasn't intentionally trying to provoke Zhou Tianqi. He just felt it would be a real shame if Shan Xiong died like that. A genius shouldn't die at the hands of his own people.

Once on the arena, the Great Xuan Mansion definitely cannot intervene to save people; in fact, they must even stop anyone who tries to save them, otherwise Su Yu will object—that kid holds a grudge.

Su Yu, that kid, he'll remember the good things you've done for him.

But if you treat him badly, he will remember it tenfold, tenfold, and tenfold.

Those who know him well know this.

PS:

hateful!

At noon, my brother was hit by a motorcycle that ran a red light, and the driver fled the scene. Luckily, my brother remembered the license plate number.

That kind of person is disgusting! They hit someone and ran away; it makes me angrier the more I think about it!

Today's update depends on the situation. If it happens, it will be tonight, and there will most likely only be two chapters.

Daxuan Palace.

"Hey, what brings you two here today?"

Yun Chen flew out of the palace, looking quite surprised.

The visitor cupped his hands in greeting and said, "I apologize for my intrusion today, Brother Yun."

Yun Chen laughed and scolded, "What are you talking about? You, the Grand Prefect Zhou, have come uninvited. How could I blame you?"

"..." Zhou Potian took a deep breath. You're really good at using this "uninvited guest" tactic. Is this some kind of mockery?

Seeing the embarrassment on Zhou Potian's face, Yun Chen stopped there and changed the subject, asking, "May I ask what brings you two here today?"

After saying that, Yun Chen looked puzzled, as if he knew nothing.

Zhou Polong cut straight to the point, saying, "For my disciple, Shan Xiong."

"Oh, I understand. Let's go inside and sit down before we talk."

Reception room.

The three of them took their seats one by one.

Yun Chen gave the order: "Someone, serve tea."

soon.

A maid came in carrying a tray with three cups of tea on it.

Yun Chen chuckled and said, "Please, gentlemen."

The Zhou brothers were not reserved and casually took a sip; it was good to moisten their throats before speaking.

Yun Chen glanced at them and said with a smile, "The parties involved haven't even arrived yet, why are you here first? Are you in a bit of a hurry?"

Zhou Polong spoke again: "He'll be here soon too."

“Hmm,” Yun Chen nodded. Not long ago, he did receive intelligence that Shan Xiong had entered the Great Xuan Prefecture and would arrive in Yao Guang City soon.

Yun Chen continued, "I think it's a bit of an overreaction for you two brothers to come together. It's just two kids playing around."

Zhou Potian suppressed the urge to roll his eyes. In other major prefectures, Po Long alone would indeed be enough, but it's different here. Besides Yun Chen, there's also Yun Ying. Po Long alone simply can't handle it, so he came along too.

Zhou Potian chuckled dryly and said, "I've been bored lately, so I thought I'd go out for a walk. I happened to run into Polong, who said he was coming to Daxuan, so I came along."

"Oh, is that so?"

I don't believe you for a second. You're clearly just worried we'll hurt your brother, that's why you followed us.

Sudden.

Yun Chen said with annoyance, "I wonder where Yun Ying has run off to again. She didn't even come out to greet our distinguished guest. She has no manners at all! I'll go and call her."

"No, no, no," the Zhou brothers quickly stood up to stop Yun Chen. What a joke! They didn't want to face Yun Ying. They had been ridiculed by Yun Ying quite a bit back then.

Yun Chen suppressed a laugh; these two were getting impatient.

Then he continued to pretend he didn't know anything and said, "What's wrong? Don't you want to see Yunying? Weren't you all very enthusiastic when the higher-ups proposed marriage? Is it because you're married now and your tigress at home is keeping a close eye on you?"

"If you ask me, you shouldn't have gotten married so early. Look, because you've all gotten married, Yunying is still single. It worries me so much!"

Neither of the Zhou brothers knew how to respond to Yun Chen's words. This guy... is infuriating!

Zhou Polong gave Zhou Potian a wink: "Brother, don't you think his tone sounds like he's mocking us? This guy's words are really infuriating, how come I never noticed before?"

Zhou Potian: No doubt about it, this guy is mocking us. We just didn't realize it because we hadn't had much contact with him before.

Seeing the two exchanging glances right in front of him, Yun Chen feigned anger and said, "What are you two secretly discussing? Is there anything you can't say in front of me? Do you treat me like an outsider?"

"Brother Yun is too kind."

Aren't you an outsider? Do you really think you're one of us?

"Ahem, Brother Yun, let's get back to the main topic. There's no need to mention anything else," Zhou Potian said, clearly afraid of Yun Chen.

Yun Chen is probably just as annoying and irritating as Zhu Tiandao!

"Alright, let's get down to business. What is your Zhou family planning to do this time? I don't believe you would create a challenge just because of the reopening of the polytheistic script lineage. What exactly are you trying to do?"

Getting back to the main topic, Yun Chen became extremely serious.

Without even thinking, Zhou Polong decided to speak directly.

Yun Chen interrupted him directly, coldly saying, "Don't try to fool me with other things, otherwise I guarantee that Shan Xiong will not be able to leave the Great Xuan Mansion, and even the two of you cannot protect him."

Upon hearing this, the Zhou brothers' expressions changed slightly; they had not expected Yun Chen's attitude.

Zhou Potian said in a deep voice, "Brother Yun, are you going to break ties with my Zhou family and my Great Zhou Mansion for the sake of Su Yu?"

Yun Chen picked up the teacup on the table, took a small sip, and said calmly, "Then we'll see what you have to say. If your answer doesn't satisfy me, so what if we have to tear things apart?"

Instantly, the atmosphere in the entire reception room became extremely heavy. The three of them did not deliberately release their aura, but their authority, cultivated over many years, was enough to make many people feel suffocated.

for a long time.

Zhou Potian broke the deadlock, "Since Brother Yun wants an explanation, then we will give you one."

Zhou Potian glanced at Zhou Polong, "Polong."

Zhou Polong nodded and said, "Our purpose this time is to settle long-standing grievances and separate the Zhou family from the conflict between the two sides. We will not participate."

Yun Chen slammed his hand on the table. "Stop talking nonsense! Your father isn't dead at all. What grudge could there be!"

! ! ?

The situation was unexpected!

The Zhou brothers were completely taken aback by Yun Chen's words, and their shock was written all over their faces.

Yun Chen laughed and said, "What? Surprised? Do you think others can't guess?"

Zhou Polong roared, "Yun Chen! What nonsense are you spouting! My father is dead in battle, I won't allow you to..."

"Hey, hey, hey, even your brother isn't excited, why are you so excited? Oh, I get it, you really don't know, so you're the only son in your family who's been kept in the dark all this time."

Unexpectedly, Yun Chen thought that the two brothers knew about it, but Zhou Polong, Zhou Tianyuan's son, knew nothing at all.

Seeing Zhou Polong's angry expression, which didn't seem fake, Yun Chen instantly understood.

Pitiful!

Yun Chen looked at Zhou Polong with pity in his eyes.

Zhou Polong was enraged by Yun Chen's gaze and was about to make a move when Zhou Potian called out to him, "Polong!"

"Brother! You're going to stop me!?"

Zhou Polong looked at Zhou Potian, his eyes bloodshot and his emotions running high.

Zhou Potian stepped forward and pressed down on his shoulder, "Don't get agitated, calm down!"

Then Zhou Potian looked at Yun Chen and said in a deep voice, "Brother Yun, what did you mean by what you just said? My uncle has been dead for many years, which is a fact that everyone can see. Why did you say such things to provoke Polong!"

"Ah..." Yun Chen yawned deeply, waved his hand, and said casually, "Never mind, I'm too lazy to expose you."

"You..." Zhou Polong was furious. This guy!

"Brother, let me go!"

Zhou Polong turned to Zhou Potian and said.

Zhou Potian said quietly, "So what if I let you go? Are you even his match?"

Zhou Polong: "..."

I'm totally losing it!
