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

Of course, if you include him, it's definitely enough.

Seeing Qin Guang's expression, Yun Jie couldn't help but laugh and said, "That's why there's no need to give it to him. Besides, I still have a batch of his resources here. He doesn't lack resources at all right now."

Qin Guang took a deep breath. So, Su Yu was indeed "rich". Not to mention anything else, he initially used the ancient corpse to swindle a treasure worth 2,500 strands of Heaven and Earth Profound Light, and now he has extorted an even larger sum, a full 5,000 strands of Heaven and Earth Profound Light!

The word "rich" alone is not enough to describe it; "filthy rich" would be a more accurate description.

But Qin Guang still insisted on giving the things to Su Yu. With a firm look in his eyes, Qin Guang slowly said, "Although he doesn't lack resources, he earned them himself. They weren't given to him by the human race. The nature of these things is different. Yun Jie, you should understand that."

Yun Jie's gaze turned serious, and he said earnestly, "Brother, I understand your concerns, but I assure you, Su Yu's heart is definitely with the human race! Although the help we provide him is not much, the human race is, after all, his roots. Besides, I, as his grandfather, am still among the human race, and his father is also among the human race. How could he not care?"

Qin Guang nodded slightly: "Regarding Su Yu's stance, I believe you, but we still need to maintain our attitude. We haven't given up; we're just forced into this situation..."

"Don't worry, brother, I will definitely explain it to Su Yu properly, and he will understand."

Then Yun Jie changed the subject: "So you should keep these resources. Right now, the human race needs these resources more than Su Yu. How about this, I will take out some resources and say that they are from the human race. That will be fine. The items don't need to be too many; the most important thing is the sentiment."

Qin Guang hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded: "Please take care of Su Yu."

Yun Jie replied with a smile, "Of course, after all, he's my grandson."

"Alright, then I won't bother you any longer," Qin Guang said, turning to leave.

After walking a few steps, he stopped again, turned to Yun Jie and said, "If there's nothing else, tell Yun Chen to come back quickly. This child, instead of preparing for his path to enlightenment, why is he running around like this?"

Yun Jie laughed and said, "Okay, I'll send a message to him to come back right away."

With Yun Jie's words, Qin Guang finally felt at ease and left.

Watching Qin Guang's retreating figure, Yun Jie shook his head with a wry smile. This old man really worries a lot; it must be tough on him.

······

Here.

Xinghong Ancient City.

Inside an old house on the Third Ring Road.

Su Yu was refining the City Lord's Token when, just as his willpower came into contact with it, a huge wave of death energy surged toward him, startling him.

Fortunately, he managed to reverse the death aura using the Yuanqiao Reversal Technique, so he was not seriously injured. However, it was still noticeable that the black aura on his face had intensified.

The City Lord's Token is not difficult to refine; the difficulty lies in withstanding wave after wave of death energy.

Soon, Su Yu completely refined the City Lord's Token, and at the same time, he also understood many of the functions of the City Lord's Token, including the position of City Lord.

Su Yu slowly stood up, a smile appearing on his face: "Hey, from now on I'm a local overlord too!"

However, refining the city lord's token is not enough; he also needs to win the respect of the people in the city, but Su Yu's current strength is not enough.

He gently pushed open the door and headed straight for the city lord's mansion.

At this moment, there were already people guarding the gate outside the city lord's mansion. Clearly, they were people who coveted the position of city lord, but they did not know that the position of city lord had already been taken again.

Su Yu concealed his identity and quietly approached the gate of the city lord's mansion.

Suddenly, Su Yu pointed into the distance and shouted, "Su Yu!"

rub!

In an instant, everyone nearby stood up and looked in the direction Su Yu pointed. Some, in their haste, ran in that direction without even confirming whether the matter was true or not.

This running triggered a chain reaction; everyone followed suit, just like a scramble for food in a school cafeteria. Those who ran too slowly would miss out on the food.

Actually, it's not their fault. They didn't come out earlier, but they still heard about Su Yu and Modona's deal, which is why they were so excited.

What is most important after becoming a resident of the ancient city?

It's fate!

What can sustain their lives and allow them to live longer?

The answer is simple: resources!

Now that Su Yu has so many resources, it's no wonder they're excited.

In an instant, the city lord's mansion was deserted, with only Su Yu remaining.

Su Yu watched their retreating figures and tsk tsk, "Brains are such a good thing, it's a pity you don't have them."

Immediately afterwards, Su Yu communicated with the city lord's command, and the gate of the city lord's mansion slowly opened a crack. He slipped inside, and then the gate closed again.

Everything happened without anyone knowing.

Everyone's attention was focused on "Su Yu," and no one noticed that the gates of the City Lord's Mansion had been opened.

Su Yu arrived deep inside the city lord's mansion and saw the stone sculpture, which was Xing Hong.

After bowing, he tried to get closer to Xing Hong, but Xing Hong ignored him. So, bored, he shut his mouth, sat down in front of Xing Hong, and began to cultivate silently.

Xinghong's eyes were strange. This kid is really bold. Does he think that just because he's become the city lord, I can't do anything to him?

Okay, that's true.

Judging from what the Hongmeng Old Turtle said, they will be following Su Yu closely from now on. If they attack Su Yu now, their future will definitely not be good.

Xinghong had heard about Su Yu's pettiness, so no matter how Su Yu tried to get close to him, he remained silent.

He had witnessed Su Yu's shamelessness before. Once he paid attention to him, Su Yu would immediately take advantage of him and push his luck. Therefore, it was best to ignore him.

Xinghong felt he had a good grasp of Su Yu's personality.

Here.

Su Yu was completely unaware of this; he was "working hard" to build his body.

Half a day later, a golden light flashed on his body, and the 49th casting was completed.

Tsk tsk, Xing Hong couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement. This speed, this efficiency, is undeniable. However, the rate at which he consumes resources is also terrifying. Fortunately, this kid is "good at making money," otherwise, who could afford to support him?

Speaking of which, this Great Xuan King is quite clever. He knows he can't afford to raise Su Yu, so he simply lets him roam free. Tsk tsk, he's really got a knack for it.

On the other side, Yun Jie sensed Xing Hong's resentment towards him again, so he made another note of Xing Hong in his "little notebook".

Including the previous ones, there are now two, temporarily leading Tianmie by one.

Well, that means we'll have fish head soup to drink from now on. I wonder if the fish head soup in the Eternal Realm is any good.

Perhaps it's best to nurture him until he reaches the Dao Integration Realm before making a move.

"Ah!"

In the city lord's mansion, Xinghong sneezed for no apparent reason.

The sudden sneeze startled Su Yu.

As if by conditioned reflex, Su Yu stood up and jumped back in one smooth motion.

He composed himself and asked suspiciously, "Lord Xinghong, are you sneezing? Have you caught a cold?"

Xing Hong was completely dumbfounded. It was true that I sneezed, but what the hell was this cold? Me, a powerful ancient Eternal Realm expert, catching a cold? What kind of joke is this?

At this moment, Xinghong couldn't keep up the act any longer. He replied casually, "What's the big deal? Haven't you ever seen Yongheng sneeze before?"

Su Yu's eyes darted around, and he smiled, "This is truly the first time I've seen this before."

Xinghong's hands, clasped behind his back, clenched quietly. Needless to say, he really wanted to beat Su Yu up.

It's the first time we met, so why did you actually admit it?

Don't you know how to give me any face?

Do I, Xinghongtang, the ancient and eternal dynasty, not need to save face?

I'm so annoyed! But I have to hold it in!

Xing Hong stared at Su Yu without moving and slowly said, "Well, you've certainly learned something this time, kid. Why don't you say thank you?"

Su Yu's face stiffened. "Thank you?"

What the hell...

"Thank you very much, Lord Xinghong."

"Fine, I'm too magnanimous to hold a grudge against a petty person. I'll give him face this time," Su Yu said with a forced smile.

It must be said that when it comes to admitting defeat, Su Yu is second to none.

“Hmm,” Xing Hong nodded in satisfaction, “But I must correct you on one point: as an Eternal Realm expert, I do not catch a cold.”

Xinghong was very serious.

Su Yu: "Then just now..."

Without thinking, Xinghong said directly, "Just now, it was probably some villain plotting to harm me. I sensed it and sneezed. Didn't you know? Most Eternals do this. So, when you're not doing anything, don't mention Eternals, they'll sense it."

Here, Xing Hong told a lie. He casually mentioned an Eternal Realm expert, and the expert would indeed sense it, but wouldn't sneeze. Moreover, generally only those with strength lower than the Eternal Realm can make an Eternal Realm expert sense it.

But Su Yu knew nothing of this; he was merely a "minor" Lingyun Realm cultivator. Therefore, Xing Hong felt free to make up stories.

Su Yu suddenly realized: "I see."

the other side.

Yun Jie sneered again, "You, Xing Hong, keep courting death. This is the third time."

"Ah!"

In Xinghong Ancient City, Xinghong sneezed again.

Su Yu's eyes were strange: "Sir, someone's eyeing you again so soon? What are you doing?"

Xinghong was equally confused. Yes, what did I do?
