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

But it wasn't just the geniuses from the minor clans who fell; people from both the divine and demonic races also perished. Not long ago, Su Yu even killed Lei Jue, a genius from the Thunder God Clan at the Lingyun Realm. Stepping over Lei Jue's corpse, Su Yu ascended to the Earth Ranking in one fell swoop!

This made everyone even more frantic. What exactly was this "Chen Guan" all about?

He had just appeared on the battlefield of the heavens a few days ago and made it onto the yellow list. However, he was ranked at the bottom at that time, so no one paid attention to him. But then his promotion path was like a rocket, soaring up like crazy.

After moving from the Yellow List to the Mysterious List, and then not long after that, they entered the Earth List. When did the geniuses on the Hunter's List become so easy to kill?

Generally speaking, when geniuses on the Hunter's List fight each other, they are usually evenly matched, and it is rare for either of them to fall. At most, they will be seriously injured, and it is mutual.

If someone falls, it is very likely because one party suddenly obtains some kind of opportunity that leads to a great increase in strength, which in turn causes the other party to fall.

However, after "Chen Guan" arrived at the battlefield of the heavens, geniuses on the Hunter Ranking fell one after another, so many that it could only be described as falling like rain. What's even more terrifying is that 80% of these fallen geniuses died at the hands of "Chen Guan". The rest either encountered enemies who were far inferior to themselves or were seriously injured and accidentally let others take advantage of them.

At the same time, due to Chen Guan's unusual behavior, some intelligent people have begun to doubt his identity.

Based on the intelligence they received, this doesn't seem like Chen Guan, unless Chen Guan's actions in the human realm were an act from the very beginning, designed to conceal his true abilities and hide himself.

But if that's his purpose, why is he now slaughtering everyone on the battlefield of the heavens? Is it because he feels he has enough strength and no longer needs to hide it?

Or perhaps, he was ultimately just a young man at heart, hiding his true self for so long, and finally couldn't resist showing it off after arriving at the battlefield of the heavens.

······

Outside the Valley of Heavenly Breaks.

With so many minor giants gathered, no one bothered to hide anymore; there was no point in hiding any longer, as everyone could find each other.

They might as well just put everything out in the open.

However, despite their presence, each race occupied a separate mountain peak. Apart from exchanging a few sarcastic remarks at the beginning, they did not engage in much further communication, because the focus of today's discussion was on the geniuses within the Heavenly Broken Valley, not them.

This silence was broken after the god-race's Lei Jue was killed by "Chen Guan".

A god of the Sun and Moon clan glanced at Lin Dong and his group, then turned to the immortal clan's group: "Dao Chen, aren't you immortals the most skilled in divination? Try to figure out who this Chen Guan really is."

At this point, no one was a fool. Everyone noticed Chen Guan's problem, but it wasn't that serious at first, so no one paid much attention or cared. But no one expected that this guy would get out of control so quickly.

Actually, even without others saying it, Dao Chen himself was very curious about "Chen Guan's" identity. However, since it didn't involve the Immortal Clan before, he acted as if it were none of his business. Now that the Divine Clan had spoken up, Dao Chen readily agreed.

Dao Chen nodded: "Then I will cast a divination, but Chen Guan has Chen Henian behind him, so my divination may not be successful."

Dao Chen is currently at the sixth level of the Sun and Moon Realm, and is no match for Chen Henian. As long as Chen Henian realizes that he is deducing Chen Guan, he will definitely be defeated by Chen Henian. Therefore, he said it in advance to avoid being embarrassed later.

The other tribes chuckled and said, "It's alright, Brother Daochen, you can rest assured and perform the divination."

Dao Chen didn't speak again. The next second, several divine runes suddenly appeared in the palm of his right hand. Slowly, they were arranged in a certain order, and Chen Guan's image appeared in Dao Chen's mind.

With everything ready, Dao Chen channeled his willpower into the divine runes in his hand, constantly manipulating them, while the others held their breath in anticipation.

Within the same time period.

When Dao Chen began to deduce Chen Guan, Chen Henian had already sensed it, because he knew what Su Yu was up to on the battlefield of the heavens, so he had been on guard. Today, it has finally arrived.

at the same time.

Images flashed around Dao Chen, all depicting the true past of Chen Guan. However, before Dao Chen could examine them closely, a pair of giant fists appeared, and a furious roar rang out: "Who is divining my Chen family's son?! You're courting death! Break!"

boom!

The scene around Dao Chen vanished instantly, and the divination failed.

the other side.

Inside the Great Xuan Mansion, within the Prince's Palace.

Chen Henian looked at Yun Chen: "Lord of the Manor, is my timing for making a move acceptable?"

Yun Chen nodded calmly: "Yes, not too early, not too late, just right."

They knew from the beginning that someone would predict Chen Guan's fate, so they were prepared.

When Dao Chen began his deduction, Chen Henian could have intervened to break through, but he didn't. If he reacted too quickly, others would definitely suspect something was amiss, but being too slow wouldn't work either, as that would expose his deception. Therefore, he deliberately waited a while before making his move, so as not to appear abrupt.

But Chen Henian quickly added, "It seems like our attempts to cover this up aren't going to be very effective. That kid Su Yu is too good at causing trouble... It's only a matter of time before we're exposed."

Yun Chen chuckled and said, "It's alright. We can keep it a secret for as long as we can. If we can't keep it a secret in the end, then so be it. We've done our best. If anyone's to blame, it's Su Yu himself. His ability to hide things is terrible, and yet he's so smug about it. When he was exposed, he even made up an excuse for himself, saying that outstanding people can't hide their talents."

"Old Chen, tell me, does Su Yu even have any shame?"

Chen Henian stroked his long beard and chuckled. He didn't know how to evaluate Su Yu. If he had to say, he would be a talented but shameless troublemaker.

Yun Chen glanced at Chen Henian indifferently: "What, you don't dare to say? Afraid that if word gets out, Su Yu will make things difficult for you?"

Chen Henian vehemently denied it: "No, it's just that I didn't know how else to say it, so I simply decided not to say it."

Yun Chen smiled faintly: "Old fox!"

“Hehe,” Chen Henian did not refute.

Don't think I don't know you're secretly recording!

You think you can trick me into telling me anything? No way!

This is the last chapter for today.

Although there are only five chapters today, the word count exceeds 12,000, which is equivalent to six chapters.

Daxuan Palace.

The two old foxes were staring at each other for a long time, then smiled at each other with a meaningful expression.

Yun Chen: It seems I can't outsmart him. He's quite vigilant; he actually discovered me.

Chen Henian: I'm over a hundred years older than you. You think you can trick me? You're too early to be right!

after awhile.

Yun Chen said with a smile, "I'll have to trouble you this time, Lao Chen."

Chen Henian waved his hand and said with a righteous air, "No trouble at all. Protecting the talents within the manor is my duty!"

“Hmm,” Yun Chen nodded, “However, we still need to be careful. The myriad races will definitely continue their deductions about Chen Guan. Next time, you might encounter an evenly matched opponent.”

Chen Henian remained calm and asked seriously, "What if an invincible person intervenes?"

Chen Henian did not believe he could withstand the invincible deduction; if he tried to block it, he might expose his true strength.

It is indeed possible for a near-invincible being to stop an invincible being from remotely deducing, but he is currently only at the "Ninefold Sun and Moon".

Yun Chen thought for a moment and quickly said, "When Invincible makes a move, it means it can't be hidden anymore, so don't worry about it then."

Chen Henian asked again, "Are you sure we don't need to worry about it?"

“No need,” Yun Chen shook his head. When the invincible deduction of “Chen Guan” comes, regardless of whether they are sure of “Chen Guan’s” identity, they will take action against “Chen Guan”. Therefore, there is no point in stopping them at that time.

······

Battlefield of the Heavens.

Outside the Valley of Heavenly Breaks.

Although Dao Chen's divination was interrupted, they still saw some things, such as a woman.

The fact that a woman would appear in Chen Guan's mind didn't surprise anyone; it was in line with Chen Guan's usual style. But could someone with such a style be a peerless genius?

The unfinished divination left a seed of doubt in everyone's hearts, and that seed has already sprouted.

But then again, whether this Chen Guan is real or not, it doesn't stop all races from targeting him.

Dao Chen was annoyed that his divination had been forcibly interrupted, but he maintained a calm and composed demeanor on the surface. "Everyone, I have done my best in this divination."

It goes without saying that everyone can see it.

Everyone replied, "We understand, thank you for your help, Brother Daochen."

Then, the Divine Race Sun and Moon turned to Lin Dong and the other Human Sun and Moon, questioning, "Who exactly is this Chen Guan? Is he an imposter, or perhaps someone from the older generation? If so, our Divine Race will not let this go!"

Lin Dong scoffed, "What, the younger one can't beat the older one, so he's getting ready to step in? A dignified god, yet so shameless. I've truly learned something new."

"Hahaha……"

Lin Dong's words drew ridicule from a group of human Sun and Moon level experts towards the gods.

Zheng Ping, a newly promoted Sun Moon cultivator from the Great Xia Prefecture, is making his first appearance on the battlefield of the heavens today. He said, "The shamelessness of the gods is nothing new. It's one thing for them to bully the weak when they have more people, and our human geniuses are not afraid. But it seems they are not satisfied and now they intend to bully the weak with their strength."

Although Lin Tong and Zheng Ping were telling the truth, the gods, as the overlords of the heavens, also had their pride, especially with so many people present today.

However, a member of the divine race, a Sun and Moon, denied it, saying, "Don't distort the facts. What we are saying is that if this Chen Guan is an imposter from the older generation, our divine race will never let this go!"

"As for what you call bullying the weak with numbers, there's nothing we can do about it. My divine race only has so many geniuses. If you're afraid, just stay in the human realm and don't come out."

As a member of the Great Xuan Mansion, Chen Guan naturally received protection from the people of the Great Xuan Mansion.

"If you can't beat them, just say someone is impersonating them. Tsk tsk, they really have no shame," Liang Fang pointed to a masked man on the periphery and said, "Whether Chen Guan is an imposter or not, the Hunter's Pavilion must know. Why don't you ask him?"

Di San is now filled with regret. Why did he accept missions so recklessly? Why was he so unlucky? He encountered things that others never did.

Chen Guan's aura was collected by him, so the task of confirming Chen Guan's true identity naturally fell to him.

With Liang Fang's pointing finger, the gazes of all races shifted to Earth Three: "Hunter's Pavilion, give us an explanation! If this Chen Guan is not the same Chen Guan as that Chen Guan, then your Hunter's Pavilion bears the primary responsibility!"

Being watched by hundreds of Sun and Moon beings simultaneously, Di San felt immense pressure, but he couldn't afford to lose face for the Hunter's Pavilion. He forced himself to remain calm and replied, "Our Hunter's Pavilion is also investigating this matter. Please give us some time."

He continued, "If this Chen Guan is indeed an imposter, then my Hunter Heaven Pavilion will naturally give an explanation to all races. Moreover, if this matter is true, then my Hunter Heaven Pavilion is also a victim. If any race wants to make trouble unreasonably and demand huge compensation, then my Hunter Heaven Pavilion will never agree!"

Di San's words instantly placed the Hunter Sky Pavilion on the side of the victim, and also warned everyone not to try to use this to sue them, as the Hunter Sky Pavilion was not made of clay.

A powerful member of the Divine Race, a Sun-Moon Realm expert, said, "Their identities haven't even been confirmed yet, and your Hunter's Pavilion is already trying to shirk all responsibility? Who will be held accountable for the geniuses of my race who died! Our geniuses didn't even know who their enemy was; didn't they die unjustly?!"

Upon hearing this, Di Sandu couldn't help but sneer: "In the battlefield of the heavens, life and death are preordained. They died because they lacked strength and talent. What does that have to do with my Hunter's Pavilion? Even if they don't die today, they will still die in the future. Those who die are geniuses!"

Di San, representing the Hunter's Pavilion, spoke in a very firm tone: "Besides, it wasn't the Hunter's Pavilion that killed them. Which clan killed them? Go settle accounts with that clan. Do you think the Hunter's Pavilion is easy to bully?"

When Di San said that, the Protoss felt very hurt. This guy said that the geniuses of the Protoss were no good?

This is utterly outrageous!
