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

After a while.

The Primordial Tortoise replied, "If I say no, will you agree?"

"Hehe," Xing Hong chuckled, without answering. Clearly, he had already decided to go out for a stroll and was now just waiting for the Black Demon to die so that Su Yu could become the city lord.

Hongmeng sighed, "Alright, just be careful. Su Yu's safety is in your hands. The day he becomes the city lord will be the day when all thirty-six ancient cities fully support him!"

"When the time comes, if anyone dares to kill Su Yu, or anyone wants to kill Su Yu, don't hold back. Just kill them. If you can't beat them, call for help. I will also step in at crucial moments, of course, without breaking the rules."

This stunned Xing Hong. Protecting Su Yu wasn't enough; the Thirty-Six Ancient Cities also wanted to fully support him.

Xinghong asked blankly, "Boss, are we... going to have to choose sides? The human race?"

Hongmeng shook his head and emphasized, "They have chosen sides, but not with the human race, but with Su Yu."

Xinghong was speechless. Although there were differences, they weren't that big, were they?

Can Su Yu just stand by and watch all the races fight against the human race?

No, he will definitely join the war. When that happens, do you think these ancient towns can escape?

They can't escape, not a single one of them can escape.

The Primordial Tortoise continued, “I know what you’re thinking, but this is the tenth tidal change. If nothing unexpected happens, there won’t be a next one. If the human race loses this time, will the other races care about the lives of us who are guarding this place? So, taking sides is inevitable, and we have long been bound to the human race.”

After speaking, the voice of the Hongmeng Old Turtle disappeared, while Xing Hong remained silent, clearly still digesting this astonishing news.

At this moment.

Su Yu was unaware that Xinghong and Hongmeng had privately communicated specifically for him.

He was now happily picking up corpses, collecting essence blood and ancient city tokens.

This isn't the first time; the last time this happened was also within the ancient city, but this time the harvest was greater than the last.

Although fewer powerful beings from the Sun and Moon realms fell today than last time, this time there was a lot more blood left behind by invincible beings. Although it wasn't essence blood, it could still be refined to extract some essence blood.

"If this happens a few more times, I'll be rich!"

Su Yu had just collected a corpse from the Heavenly Spirit Ape Clan, a seventh-level Sun and Moon cultivator, when he touched the head of a nearby undead to express his excitement.

At the same time, today was also the first time he had witnessed the power of the thirty-six ancient cities; the scene was truly awe-inspiring!

He attacked from a great distance, sending more than a dozen invincibles fleeing in terror. This also drew out dozens more invincibles to help rescue the dozen or so invincibles trapped in the ancient city.

Immediately afterwards, Su Yu encountered the vessel dropped by the King of the Bitter Sea. Then Xingyue appeared and explained to Su Yu what eternity meant, while also telling him about the function of the vessel, something Su Yu didn't understand. The two then chatted like friends.

Finally, Xingyue looked at Su Yu deeply and said, "After you die, I will come to guide you."

After saying that, she left.

As for the minor incident involving the appearance of the Devouring God Half-Emperor, let's not dwell on it.

After that, Su Yu started causing all sorts of trouble within the ancient city; he even wanted to kill someone…

When the death aura showed signs of decreasing, he killed the necromancer. He was not in a hurry to unseal the ancient city; he was not the one who should be in a hurry.

On the contrary, Su Yu hoped that the ancient city could be sealed off for three years, and that everyone trapped inside would die.

Of course, it's impossible to seal off for that long in reality. He also needs to communicate with the outside world and obtain resources from it; otherwise, how can he make progress?

But for now, there's no rush. He hasn't used up the large sum of resources he just swindled. He'll just wait it out.

And in the end, they might even be able to extort some money from you.

It can be said that the lives and deaths of the people in the city are now in his hands. If any race wants to save people, they either have to force their way into the ancient city again, or they have to throw resources at him and bribe him. It's that simple.

Su Yu is just such a "common" person.

······

outside world.

The storm caused by the Xinghong Ancient City incident is far from over.

Each tribe issued a threatening statement, saying that even though Su Yu had been transformed into a resident of the ancient city, he would still die.

That's right. They paid such a high price this time, and they still didn't kill him. They've lost face beyond belief. So even if Su Yu has become a resident of the ancient city and is crippled, they still have to kill him. That's what you call seeing things through to the end.

However, Su Yu is currently hiding inside the ancient city, and no one can do anything about him. For the time being, the various races will not dare to provoke the ancient city again.

Some even avoid the ancient city from a distance when passing through it, fearing that the town guards might suddenly attack them—it seems they have developed a psychological aversion to it.

It's terrifying that all thirty-five guardians attacked at the same time.

It's worth mentioning that Hongmeng Old Turtle didn't make a move at the time; Xinghong and the others working together were more than enough to handle the situation.

If he were to be needed to deal with these invincible beings, it would be too undignified of him.

Didn't you see that Tian Gu, Ji Wu, and the others are all staying in their own realm? Even after their own invincible ones perished, they didn't come out.

When these semi-emperors cross the line, the situation becomes uncontrollable.

Moreover, the myriad realms are very complex, and even the semi-emperors of various races dare not leave them at will. For example, Tian Gu would not easily leave the Immortal Realm once he understood the subtle dangers outside. Who knows if some ancient human being is waiting for him outside? If that were the case, he would be in danger.

A qualified ruler will not easily put himself in a dangerous situation.

······

Here.

Yun Jie pretended to contact Su Yu, but in reality he was contacting Yun Chen: "Go check on your nephew and see how he is, whether he needs any help."

At this moment, Yun Chen remained in the ancient city. No matter how much noise there was outside, it did not affect him, and he did not come out.

Xinghong Ancient City.

Inside an old house in the first ring road.

Yun Chen stood up, his gaze piercing through the old house. He exchanged a glance with Xing Hong, and seeing that Xing Hong didn't intend to stop him, Yun Chen pushed open the door of the old house.

Su Yu was also hiding in an old house somewhere in the first ring. Yun Chen quickly located him, and then he disappeared on the spot.

Knock knock knock!

knocking.

Inside the old house, Su Yu suddenly sat up as if he were dying. He immediately stopped his cultivation and looked warily at the door. But he was not surprised for long before Yun Chen's voice rang out: "Nephew, it's me."

"Uncle?"

Su Yu extended his willpower from inside the door, and Yun Chen's image appeared in his mind. Now that he was sure, he quickly opened the door.

Yun Chen slipped into the old house in a flash.

Su Yu asked in surprise, "Uncle... why haven't you left yet?"

When the battle broke out, Su Yu thought Yun Chen had already slipped away quietly, but he didn't expect... he was still in the ancient city. He's really carefree.

Yun Chen found a chair, plopped down, and casually said, "Leave? Why should I leave? They haven't noticed me, and besides, the owner here doesn't seem to want me to leave."

Deep within the city lord's mansion.

Xinghong's face darkened. What did he mean by not kicking him out?

I just warned him to leave as soon as possible, but he refused to leave. Now he's shamelessly saying that I didn't drive him away. Does driving someone away only count as physically doing it?

Su Yu's heart skipped a beat. The owner of this place? The guardian of the ancient town?

Yun Chen waved his hand, and a tea set appeared on the table. He then slowly began to brew tea, taking a moment to look up and say, "That's right, it's the ancient town garrison. But you don't need to keep calling it the ancient town garrison. The garrison here is named Xing Hong, and all the ancient towns are named after them."

Su Yu nodded, understanding now.

However, he had a question: "Lord Xia, why didn't Guardian Xinghong send you away? Last time in Tianmie Ancient City, Lord Xia couldn't even enter the city gate."

Su Yu still didn't really like calling him "Uncle," and preferred calling him "Lord of the Manor."

Yun Chen smiled and didn't correct him. It's just a matter of titles. Even if Su Yu doesn't call him uncle, does that mean he's not Su Yu's uncle? Obviously not, so there's no need to care too much.

In response to Su Yu's question, Yun Chen explained, "Xia Longwu was unable to enter the city because he was too arrogant. You didn't see how he would draw his sword at the slightest provocation. It would be strange if Tian Mie let him into the city. Moreover, when it comes to arrogance, Tian Mie is no less arrogant. Xia Longwu is just a junior in front of him. Do you think he would tolerate a junior being arrogant in front of him?"

Su Yu nodded and said seriously, "I understand. So, Lord, you were able to enter the city because you weren't arrogant enough."

To be honest, he had known Yun Chen for so long, but he had never seen Yun Chen make a move. He only knew that Yun Chen was very strong, but he had no idea how strong he was.

Seeing Su Yu's serious expression, Yun Chen paused, the teacup he was about to bring to his lips, and said with a laugh, "You're really annoying. If I were to beat you up right now, would you fight back?"

After speaking, Yun Chen looked at Su Yu with great interest.

Su Yu's face stiffened, and he quickly said, "No, you are my elder, how can I fight back? If you want to hit me, hit me all you want, I will never fight back."

If you're so capable, then fight me. It's only because I can't beat you right now that I'm doing this; otherwise, why wouldn't I fight back?

If you hit me even once today, I will definitely hit you back every single time in the future!

Yun Chen looked at him with a half-smile: "Do you think that your thoughts and ideas can be kept secret from everyone below the level of invincibility?"

Su Yu stared at Yun Chen in shock. Could it be? His thoughts had been seen through? Impossible, it shouldn't be like this.

Yun Chen gently put down his teacup and smiled, "Nothing is impossible. Don't underestimate anyone in the world. You are a prodigy, but you are not the only one who is a prodigy."

Now Su Yu was certain that Yun Chen could indeed read his mind, and he also realized that he had been getting a little cocky and arrogant lately.

But in the blink of an eye, he asked Yun Chen another question: "Lord of the Manor, you are actually following the path of a civilized teacher, aren't you?"

Normally, no matter how strong a cultivator of the Warrior's Path is, they cannot fathom his thoughts before he advances to the Invincible Realm. Although his current realm is low, his actual strength far exceeds his realm. Moreover, a warrior at the peak of the Sun and Moon Realm may not necessarily have much stronger willpower; he might even be weaker than him.

Yun Chen chuckled. Su Yu... is very clever.

Normally, when others' thoughts are exposed, they are both surprised and angry. But he was not only not surprised, but he also used this to speculate whether he was a master of civilization.

Yun Chen smiled slightly, "Who said only a Civilization Master can see through your thoughts? Besides, let me tell you, I am a Civilization Master, do you believe me? Do all the races believe me? Aren't you very good at guessing? Just keep guessing."

Su Yu looked at Yun Chen with suspicion. He had asked this question suddenly to catch Yun Chen off guard and see how he would react, but Yun Chen's emotions remained unchanged and he didn't react at all.
