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

"Alright, it's about time, we should head back."

Calculating the time, it has been almost a day since they left Yixiantian. If they don't go back soon, Tianyanghou and the other man will probably think they ran away.

This time, Yun Jie didn't bring Yue Li and the other person with him. They had just mastered the new Great Dao, and they could familiarize themselves with it more on the way. Anyway, they could definitely get back within a day.

Half a day later.

The three returned to the narrow passage.

Inside the cave, Marquis Tianyang and Marquis Minshan were pacing back and forth.

Marquis Tianyang glanced outside the cave and said worriedly, "Why haven't they returned yet?"

Marquis Minshan glared at Marquis Tianyang without any politeness. "Who knows? Can't you see I'm anxious here too? Maybe they've been delayed by something. It's alright, it hasn't been a day yet, let's wait a little longer."

"Yes, yes, it's not time yet, and with Lord Wenyi's strength, nothing will happen."

Marquis Tianyang comforted himself in this way.

The next second, Yun Jie and the other two appeared inside the cave. Tianyang Hou and his companion greeted them: "My lord, you're finally back!"

Yun Jie gave him a strange look: "What, did we go over time?"

"No, no, it's just that Tianyang was getting impatient," Marquis Minshan explained, shifting the blame to Marquis Tianyang.

Marquis Tianyang turned his head and glared at Marquis Minshan.

Damn it! You were worried too, so why am I the only one who's worried now?

Marquis Minshan gave him a look, "Don't worry, Lord Wen is still here."

Marquis Tianyang: I'll settle the score with you later!

The next second, Marquis Tianyang laughed loudly: "Hahaha, I was indeed in a hurry, please forgive me, Lord Wenyi."

"Hmm," Yun Jie nodded lightly, fully aware of their subtle feelings but too lazy to expose them.

"So, has the candidate been chosen yet?"

Marquis Tianyang replied, "It's decided. There are twenty Eternals, one thousand Suns and Moons, three thousand Mountains and Seas, and all those beneath the Mountains and Seas."

Yun Jie glanced at them, slightly annoyed. These two guys, I already said there couldn't be too many people, yet they still selected five thousand for me!

"Humph!"

Yun Jie let out a heavy, cold snort.

This sound was like a giant hammer, striking the hearts of Marquis Tianyang and Marquis Minshan. Both of them coughed up blood and staggered backward.

Their mental seas were also affected; the two of them could barely stand, feeling dizzy and spitting out blood, looking utterly pathetic.

"M-Sir, what...this is...?"

The two looked at Yun Jie with fear, even changing their form of address to "you" (formal).

Yun Jie said coldly, "What, are you ignoring my words? Didn't I say there shouldn't be too many people? What's with you selecting five thousand people!"

"This..." Tianyang Hou and his companion were speechless. They were only thinking about sending their men to the lower realm so that their subordinates would be safe. They had no idea what Yun Jie had said.

"Now I seriously doubt whether you have conveyed my words properly, and whether they can really do what I said."

"Or are you planning to have me deal with them myself?"

Yun Jie's icy gaze fell on Marquis Tianyang and Marquis Minshan. The two felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave, and immediately felt cold all over. They hurriedly explained, "Lord Wenyi, it's not like that. We have already given them serious advice, and they have also indicated that after arriving in the lower realm, they are willing to follow the command of the invincible commander of the lower realm in general."

"Humph!"

Yun Jie was still not satisfied. He was following orders in the general direction, but in other words, he was still planning to do something underhanded.

They won't shed a tear until they see the coffin!

······

Needless to say, judging from Yun Jie's expression at this moment, he was definitely dissatisfied.

Marquis Tianyang and Marquis Minshan exchanged a glance, both able to see the fear in each other's eyes.

How to do?

How can I satisfy Wenyi?

They really went too far. Yun Jie had already said not to have too many people, but they still managed to select five thousand. No wonder Yun Jie was angry.

Moreover, when they conveyed Yun Jie's requests to their subordinates, they spoke softly and gently. After all, they were brothers and sisters who had gone through life and death together for so many years. How could they be like ordinary people, scolding or warning them at will?

Moreover, in their hearts, they have fought for so many years in the upper realm for the sake of the human race in the lower realm. If the human race in the lower realm does not listen to them, fine, but they also expect them to listen to them.

Isn't this just wishful thinking?

It can only be said that these ideas are deeply rooted in the minds of these old fogies, and it is very difficult to change them unless you use force to frighten them, or make an example of a few to scare the monkeys.

Yun Jie quietly watched the two men, Tianyang Hou and his companion, who were filled with fear and unease, and gently tapped his fingers on the table.

The tables and chairs inside this cave are made of the power of rules and supported by the power of rules of Marquis Tianyang and Marquis Minshan. Once they leave, everything inside the cave will be reduced to ashes.

Boom boom boom!

With each strike Yun Jie made, Marquis Tianyang and Marquis Minshan felt the pressure on their bodies increase.

The two men were filled with shock. Since Yun Jie saved them, he had never made a move. They thought that Yun Jie's strength was only at the Heavenly Venerable level.

However, after Yun Jie's attack on them just now, coupled with the intense pressure they felt now, they realized that this Master Wen Yi's strength was not just at the Heavenly Venerable level; he was probably already comparable to the Lord of Rules!

In other words, this is someone who is no weaker than Bai Zhan, and may even be slightly stronger than Bai Zhan!

Moreover, this person's potential is much higher than that of Bai Zhan.

Bai Zhan follows the path of the physical body, so he can never become the master of rules. At most, he can become a celestial being who can rival the master of rules.

The one before us is clearly following the path of a civilized teacher, just like King Wen. He is likely someone who has paved his own way. Therefore, once the ancient seal is broken, he will probably break through to become a master of rules very quickly.

Regardless of what Marquis Tianyang and his companion thought.

Yun Jie stated his requirements, which were also his bottom line: "Ten Eternal Realm cultivators, one hundred Sun Moon Realm cultivators, three hundred Mountain and Sea Realm cultivators, and that group of people below the Mountain and Sea Realm. Just these people, not a single one more!"

Although the number of people was much smaller than they had expected, the Marquis of Tianyang and his companion dared not have any objections at this point, and Lord Wen was still frowning.

Yun Jie continued stating his requirements: "Within the Eternal Realm, there are no Eternal Peak beings allowed, at most the eighth stage of Eternal Realm, and each stage must have a person."

Yun Jie explained it very clearly; otherwise, wouldn't it have been asking for trouble if they had sent ten Eternal Eighth Stage cultivators to the lower realm?

Now that the human race in the lower realm is invincible, how many beings at the eighth level of Eternity are there?

There were no more than ten, and this included Qin Guang and Yun Jie, among others. The rest were almost all between the fifth and seventh stages of the Eternal Realm.

"Don't send down those at the peak of the Sun and Moon realm or those who are near invincible. It's difficult for them to prove their Dao in the lower realms. As for the others, you can do as you please."

"There are a few more points I must make clear. First, once you go down there, you must not be exposed! At least not before the great battle breaks out."

"Secondly, no one may enter the human realm without the permission of the lower realm humans! Furthermore, no one may disturb the lives of the lower realm humans!"

"Third, once you're down there, don't act like you're some kind of senior. The humans in the lower realm have no respect for you. Just keep a low profile, listen and observe, and obey orders!"

Yun Jie's series of demands caused Tianyang Hou and the other man's expressions to change repeatedly, making them reluctant to send anyone down to the mortal realm. They felt it was more comfortable to stay in the upper realm.

Not only are I restricted in every way, but I also have to keep a low profile, which feels so shameful.

And they won't even let us enter the human realm?

Isn't this asking the impossible?

They had wandered and fought in the upper realm for so long, and finally returned to the lower realm, but they were not allowed to return to the human realm. This... is unreasonable.

Although Tianyang Hou and his companion wanted to curse, they ultimately used the word "unreasonable" instead.

Yun Jie made this request because he didn't want these guys to cause trouble in the human realm. If so many people flooded into the human realm, they would make it a mess, and there were also many issues related to the distribution of benefits.

But the key point is that the profits have already been divided up by the various prefectures of the human realm, leaving nothing for anyone else.

Furthermore, the primordial energy in the human realm cannot satisfy so many cultivators. Ten Eternal Realms, one hundred Sun and Moon Realms, and three hundred Mountain and Sea Realms—these are not just any ordinary beings; their consumption of primordial energy can only be described as enormous.

The spiritual energy in the human realm is already scarce enough. Take Nanyuan City as an example. Here, even a thousand-pound person would find it as difficult as climbing to the heavens to break through to the ten-thousand-stone level. Is it because they lack talent?

No, it's because their vital energy cannot meet their promotion requirements.

Therefore, Yun Jie certainly couldn't just let them in.

After exchanging a glance, Tianyang Hou and his companion gritted their teeth and said, "Sir, we can agree to any other requests, but is it... unreasonable that we are not allowed to return to the human realm?"

Yun Jie glanced at them. "Did I say it's not allowed? I said it's that they want to enter the human realm without the permission of the lower realm humans. Fine, they can try to get the many invincible beings of the lower realm humans to agree. Whether they beg or play the victim, it's up to them. Whether they can persuade the lower realm humans is their business."

"This one……"

Isn't it about the same meaning?

Let those people beg those "younger generation" people. Who would be so shameless? They've all lived for thousands or tens of thousands of years, and the older they get, the more they care about their reputation.

Before the two could say anything more, Yun Jie waved his hand and said, "If you two have any difficulties, go and solve them. It's no use telling me!"

"Also, you are not allowed to reveal our existence to your subordinates."

The expressions of Tianyang Hou and his companion changed. Why didn't they say so earlier? They had already told their subordinates that the human race had such a Celestial Venerable-level existence. What exciting news this was! They had already informed their subordinates.

Seeing the hesitation on their faces, Yun Jie instantly realized that he had been too late in giving instructions, but it was alright.

"Hand over all your men."

"Wh...what..."

The two men thought Yun Jie was going to kill them to silence them, and they immediately became extremely nervous.

"What are you thinking? I'm here to erase their memories. If you guys weren't so loose-lipped, I wouldn't have needed to go through all this trouble!"

Finally, Yun Jie gave a reprimand.
