Huang Ying stepped out from the line and said, "That's me."
"You invited us here, but you're not even going to introduce yourselves?"
“Haha, we were presumptuous,” Huang Ying was slightly taken aback, then instantly realized, “My name is Huang Ying, and these are my companions. We come from the Upper Realm and belong to the Marquis of Tianyang and the Marquis of Minshan.”
Landlord Zhu muttered to himself, "Marquis of Tianyang, Marquis of Minshan? Never heard of them."
Zhou Tianqi glanced at Zhu Dizhu and said, "There were indeed two marquises in ancient times, but I didn't expect that they were still alive."
Huang Ying: "..."
Why does this guy's tone make me feel a little uncomfortable?
So you think it's a pity that the two marquises didn't die?
Huang Ying looked at Zhou Tianqi with a somewhat unfriendly gaze, as did the others. Couldn't they have been a little less nonchalant when they said that, you bastard!
Zhou Tianqi glanced at them. Why are you all looking at me like that?
baffling!
Did I say something wrong?
Qin Guang picked up the thread, "How do you prove your identities? Most importantly, the Upper Realm Passage has always been under the control of the Fate Clan, and with the added influence of the power of rules, even members of all races can't come down. So how did you manage to get down?"
This was Qin Guang's biggest question, as well as the questions of the others. Yun Jie, who had been silent all along, also showed a curious expression at the opportune moment.
Huang Ying took out two items from his sea of consciousness, which Tianyang and Minshan had given him before he descended to the mortal realm.
“We have the seals of the Marquises Tianyang and Minshan. The seals are connected to the fortune of the human race, as you can see at a glance.”
At this time, Su Yu had not yet established Xin Yu, so the fate of the human race was still tied to that of the ancient times, and the two marquis seals were indeed entwined with a faint trace of the human race's fate.
Moreover, Huang Ying and his companions were indeed human. Since their race was not in question and they had Hou Yin as proof, Qin Guang and the others reluctantly believed their identities. However, they still had one crucial question unanswered.
Qin Guang and the others continued to look at Huang Ying, hoping he would give them an answer.
Qin Guang and his four companions stared intently at him, putting immense pressure on Huang Ying. Moreover, Qin Guang and his group had long held high positions, and their aura was far stronger than that of ordinary people, creating a subtle sense of oppression that constantly weighed on him.
Huang Ying gave a wry smile and said, "We don't know how we got down here either."
Qin Guang and his men instantly changed their expressions, adopting a posture as if they were ready to attack at any moment.
Qin Guang asked in a deep voice, "You're saying you don't know either? Is that even possible?"
Huang Ying quickly waved his hand and said hastily, "Please don't get agitated, everyone. Let me explain."
"Say!"
Huang Ying quickly organized his thoughts, "It's like this, before we descended to the mortal realm, the two marquises, Tianyang and Minshan, originally planned to send five thousand people, including us, down to the mortal realm. But then something happened, and the number of people suddenly decreased, leaving only fourteen hundred slots."

"When we descended to the mortal realm, we were unaware of what was happening outside. At that time, we were sealed within a divine weapon. Lords Tianyang and Minshan told us that when the seal was broken, that would be the time when we arrived in the mortal realm."
"Later, when we sensed the seal breaking, we had already arrived in the lower realm, so we really don't know how we got there."
When asked about Qin Guang's question, Huang Ying could only answer reluctantly, admitting that he genuinely didn't know how or where he had gotten down.
After hearing Huang Ying's explanation, Qin Guang and the others exchanged glances and then communicated telepathically.
Qin Guang: "How credible do you think their story is?"
Landlord Zhu: "That's a far-fetched argument. How could I not know how I got down here?"
Xia Wushen: "Why don't we just cut them all down?"
"..."
Yun Jie: "I think it's unlikely they're lying. We can try to contact them, but we won't allow them to enter the country."
Zhou Tianqi: "It is indeed possible to make contact, but we should be careful and take precautions."
Yun Jie and Zhou Tianqi both said they could make contact, and Qin Guang thought about it and nodded in agreement.
Then Yun Jie looked at Huang Ying and the others and asked, "Before you came down, did Marquis Tianyang and Marquis Minshan give you any instructions?"
In Yun Jie's view, these guys obviously wouldn't tell him unless he asked.
"This..." Huang Ying glanced at the others behind him and hesitated, "Before coming down, the two marquises did give some instructions..."
"Since you have it, what are you hesitating about? Is it something you're ashamed to share?"
Yun Jie urged.
Don't even think about getting away with this, or you'll be in big trouble!
Huang Ying gritted his teeth and thought, "So what if I lose face? I'm just following orders." He then told Qin Guang and the others everything that Marquis Tianyang and Marquis Minshan had instructed him to do.
After hearing this, Qin Guang and the others looked at each other in disbelief. This was actually an order!
Are all the seniors so...foolish? They actually gave such orders to their own people.
Qin Guang and his companions were initially worried that the other party would try to seize power.
Zhou Tianqi was starting to have doubts about life. Had these old guys from Tianyang really changed their ways? This didn't make sense.
Knowing them as I do, how could they possibly issue such a strange order? It's practically like they've come to "bring warmth to the community."
No exposure, no unauthorized entry into human territory, and obedience to commands—aren't these three things "bringing warmth" to the human race in the lower realm?
Isn't this just sending a bunch of thugs down here?
As long as Huang Ying and the others obey orders, the strength of the human race will increase dramatically.
Zhou Tianqi was still somewhat incredulous, so he asked, "Are you sure this is an order given to you by Marquis Tianyang and his men?"
Huang Ying felt like he had swallowed a fly; he was extremely upset, but he still nodded.
Although I don't want to admit it, the two marquises have indeed turned their backs on us, and by a long and wide margin.
Well, Zhou Tianqi has completely given up now. It seems that Tianyang and Minshan must have lost their minds at some point.
But this is good, it saves these people from causing a lot of trouble.
At this point, Huang Ying had given up all hope; since he had already lost face, why bother putting on an act anymore?
Huang Ying asked, "Gentlemen, may we return to the human realm for a look?"
"no!"
Qin Guang and the other four answered in unison.
What a joke! Ten Eternal Realms, one hundred Sun and Moon Realms, and three hundred Mountain and Sea Realms—how much Yuan Qi would that consume in the human realm? Wouldn't it be better to just stay in the Battlefield of the Heavens?
"This……"
Huang Ying was surprised that the five people refused without even thinking about it, but he still did not give up. "I hope you can understand our longing for home. After all, we have been away from the human realm for many years. We just want to go back and take a look. We will be out soon."
Qin Guang and his companions remained resolute, but the other party only asked to go back and take a look, not to linger, so they couldn't be too forceful.
So, Landlord Zhu began to lie through his teeth: "It's not that we don't want you to go back, it's just that the Human Realm is in too much trouble right now. You don't know, the Human Realm can barely afford to support even those at the Sun and Moon Realm."
Huang Ying exclaimed in surprise, "How could this be?"
Landlord Zhu sighed, "It's also our own fault. Without the support of any predecessors, we fought a fierce battle with the myriad races to drive them out of the human realm. The human realm was almost destroyed before we were able to drive them all out. Even now, the human realm has not recovered."
Yun Jie and the others remained silent, watching Zhu the landlord perform. It was more appropriate for Old Zhu to handle this kind of matter; they were all people who cared about their reputation.
However, Zhu the landlord was clearly not someone who was willing to suffer a loss. Before lying and playing the victim, he had already reached an agreement with the group that each of Yun Jie and the others would have to provide Zhu the landlord with a "performance fee".
Yun Jie and his group agreed without hesitation. Resources could be found again, but saving face...
When Huang Ying and his group heard what Zhu the landlord said, they felt as if they had swallowed three pounds of dung, and they felt indescribably disgusted. How could he say such a thing?
How many Eternal Realms would it take to destroy the Human Realm? Who are you kidding?
But Huang Ying and the others also knew that this was just one reason the others gave for refusing them. Even if they exposed it, the others would definitely have other reasons. In short, they would refuse.
Thinking of this, Huang Ying and the others felt a little uneasy. Although Marquis Tianyang and Marquis Minshan had given them many instructions before they came down, they still felt uncomfortable.
That's true. Anyone would feel uncomfortable and angry if they were stopped at their own door and not allowed to enter. The situation they're in now is already considered good.
Zhu the landlord noticed their expressions and, to avoid unnecessary trouble, said, "How about this, we'll let you go back when the human realm has recovered enough. Besides, we can let some of you go back now."
"Didn't you say there's a group of humans below the Mountain and Sea Realm? They've never seen the Human Realm before, right? Let them experience the beauty of the Human Realm for you. Although the Human Realm is lacking in spiritual energy, it's still enough to support their cultivation."
Qin Guang and the others cast admiring glances at Zhu the Landlord. Old Zhu had played a brilliant move. Once this group of humans reached the Human Realm, they would essentially have a group of hostages in their hands. That way, they wouldn't have to worry about these Eternals being disobedient.
There is no doubt, because among this group of people, there are many descendants of Yongheng, and even descendants of Tianyang Marquis and Minshan Marquis, and they are second generation!
Because they had been hunted down for years, their numbers were already small, so the first thing they did after surviving was to create offspring.
Marquis Tianyang and Marquis Minshan, as leaders, played an excellent leading role by taking the lead in creating effigies.
Sure enough, the daughter of Marquis Tianyang, who was born just a few years ago, was also sent down to the lower realm. Although he was reluctant to part with her, the lower realm was actually safer than the precarious existence in the upper realm.
Marquis Minshan's son was a bit older, but only a teenager, with a cultivation level of Thousand Jun Realm, so he was also sent down with him.
Therefore, this group of humans from beneath the mountains and seas are a very good group of hostages. As former subordinates of Marquis Tianyang and Marquis Minshan, Huang Ying and his group would certainly not disregard their safety.
Of course, as long as Huang Ying and his group don't cause trouble and follow orders, Qin Guang and his men won't harm those people. They might even grant them some reasonable requests and give them certain preferential treatment, such as letting them join the Seeking Realm or the Temple of War, giving them status, and treating them well.
But if they betray us or disobey orders, then Qin Guang and his men can't be blamed.
Qin Guang and his men have always been ruthless towards their enemies.
