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

Of course, the situation in Nanyuan City isn't much better now.

Although it hasn't reached the point where people are stepping on each other, it has already become very crowded, and the lives of many people in Nanyuan City have been greatly affected as a result.

Rumble!

Suddenly, a series of orderly footsteps sounded, the ground trembled slightly, and a cloud of dust rose from the distant horizon.

The first flag to emerge from the ground.

Everyone stared intently, and someone instantly recognized it, exclaiming, "It's the Dragon Guard!"

Rumble...

The ground tremors grew stronger and closer.

The five-hundred-strong Dragon Guard, riding earth dragon beasts, quickly approached Nanyuan City and soon stopped at the east gate of the city.

The leading Mountain and Sea Realm general, Xia Wen, rose into the air, his gaze icy as he stared at some people in the city and coldly shouted, "Non-residents of Nanyuan City, leave Nanyuan City now, immediately, and without permission, you are not allowed to set foot in Nanyuan City even half a step!"

boom!

Xia Wen's words caused an uproar throughout Nanyuan City. Some applauded and cheered, while others expressed their indignation and cursed.

The residents of Nanyuan City naturally applauded and cheered.

"Great! The Great Xia Prefecture has finally made a move! These people have been staying in Nanyuan City, and I don't even dare to breathe loudly when I go out to buy groceries. Now, let's kick them all out!"

One person stood up and spoke, followed by a chorus of agreement: "That's right, that's right! They think we don't know what their purpose is? They think they can even covet our Nanyuan Ruins and Suyu Ruins? Bah!"

The people of Nanyuan are very united when facing outsiders and foreign tribes. In addition, the people of Daxia Prefecture are known for their fierce nature. Normally, they can only curse in their hearts if they have no one to back them up. Now that the Dragon Guard army has arrived, they have no more scruples. In Daxia Prefecture, in front of the Dragon Guard, who dares to kill them!

Besides, they were just ordinary people, and almost every single one of them was in grave danger. In their words, it was worth it to exchange their lives for the life of a cultivator!

Especially when they saw foreigners swaggering around the streets of Nanyuan City, they wished they could crash headfirst into one of them and die, so that the Great Xia Prefecture could avenge them and kill one of the foreigners as well. That way, they wouldn't lose out.

In the end, it was the city lord of Nanyuan City who spoke up, and considering that they had elderly parents and young children to support, they abandoned their plan to perish together with the alien race.

Regardless of how much the residents of Nanyuan City applauded, many people were not satisfied with Xia Wen's assertiveness. They shouted, "Why can't we enter? Who gave the order?"

"Yes, yes, why can't we come in? We're just here for a visit, we haven't hurt anyone. Is the Great Xia Prefecture really this domineering now?"

At the same time, a member of another race stepped forward: "Commander Xia, we came to Nanyuan City after consulting with Prefect Wan. You wouldn't drive us away too, would you?"

Xia Wen remained unmoved by their claims: "We are here on the orders of Lord Xiahou to expel them. As for Chief Wan's words... they have no effect in our Dragon Martial Guard!"

Seeing that everyone still wanted to say something, Xia Wen forcefully interrupted them: "Enough with the nonsense. Today you must leave Nanyuan City, and then you can do whatever you want. We don't care and we don't want to care! Now, please leave Nanyuan City, or don't blame us for being impolite! No matter what your background is, you are now in the Great Xia Prefecture, and you can't cause any trouble!"

"you!"

"What do you mean 'you'?! Hurry up! You have half a quarter of an hour!"

After saying that, Xia Wen shouted to the Dragon Guards below, "Get ready! If anyone hasn't come out in half a quarter of an hour, kill them without mercy!"

"Yes!"

The Dragon Guards below responded in unison, their shouts so powerful they shook the white clouds in the sky.

Upon seeing this, the faces of the people in the city turned extremely grim. It seemed that the Dragon Guard or the Great Xia Prefecture were serious.

"Forget it, let's not bother with them for now. Let's get out of the city first, and wait for more and stronger people to come. Let's see how they can stop us then!"

People may leave, but their spirit must not falter!

Xia Wen simply sneered at this.

At this moment, someone said, "Is the Great Xia Prefecture doing this because they've confirmed the existence of ruins within the city? If they truly exist, the Great Xia Prefecture alone won't be able to protect it!"

Xia Wen's gaze turned cold, and his tone was chilling: "Who's speaking?! You cowardly trash, if you have the guts, say it to my face, and I'll show you whether my Great Xia Prefecture can be saved!"

At that moment, divine runes flickered in Xia Wen's eyes. He tried to find the person who had spoken earlier, but he was disappointed and couldn't find him!

Xia Wen became secretly wary; there was a master among them!

They arrived so quickly!

The news had only been out for a few days, and already experts had arrived.

Xia Wen was certain that this person was not from the Great Xia Prefecture, because all the people above the peak of the Mountain and Sea Realm within the Great Xia Prefecture were being watched and had not yet left the capital. Therefore, this person was definitely not from the Great Xia Prefecture.

Then, Xia Wen turned his gaze to the myriad races and thought to himself: Is it one of you?

However, the man was arrogant. Facing the domineering Xia Wen, he still said, "Heh, don't bother looking, you won't find me..."

Xia Wen's gaze sharpened, and he said in a deep voice, "Playing hide-and-seek with me? You seem very confident. Do you believe I can bring Lord Xiahou here right now? Do you think he can find you?"

Now, the person in the shadows fell completely silent, whether out of fear or simply too lazy to argue with Xia Wen.

Subsequently, thousands upon thousands of people left Nanyuan City one after another, but they did not go far and set up camp outside Nanyuan City.

Xia Wen didn't care about this. His orders were simply to drive these people out of Nanyuan City. As for their preference to stay in the wilderness, that was none of his business.

Don't be fooled by Xia Wen's assertive demeanor; he's only assertive because he has no other choice.

Great Xia, Great Xia, what will become of you next?

As the Great Xia Prefecture became the center of the storm, and with the Great Xia King remaining silent and Xia Longwu going into seclusion, Xia Wen, and even the entire population of the Great Xia Prefecture, became somewhat confused and at a loss for what to do.

Over the years, the Great Xia King and Xia Longwu have given them enough confidence that the Great Xia Prefecture would win; otherwise, things would probably be in chaos by now.

However, although things haven't gotten chaotic yet, there are already undercurrents of tension beneath the surface.

······

Xinghong Ancient City.

With Su Yu keeping a low profile, the ancient city has once again come back to life.

After learning that Su Yu was in seclusion in the City Lord's Mansion, both the God and Demon races sent a high-ranking expert of the Sun and Moon realm to block the entrance of the City Lord's Mansion. This was to prevent Su Yu from suddenly coming out and causing trouble, and also to block him out. If he couldn't come out, he wouldn't be able to obtain resources, and sooner or later he would die from the erosion of death energy.

Perhaps it was the presence of two powerful figures that gave everyone confidence, allowing them to enter Xinghong Ancient City with greater peace of mind.

There was no other way; Xinghong Ancient City was the closest city to Xingyu Mansion. There used to be an island here, but it was shattered and sunk to the bottom of the sea during the last great battle. If they wanted to rest, they had no choice but to enter the ancient city.

But is everything really as wonderful as they imagine?

Little did they know, Su Yu had already left the City Lord's Mansion and was now leisurely cultivating at the Hunter's Pavilion branch.

As the saying goes, once the mask is on, no one cares. Unless he actively reveals his identity, who would know that he is actually Su Yu? His current identity is Xuan Jiu!

Suddenly.

Su Yu opened his eyes instantly. He looked towards the inner city's first ring and muttered, "That Fu Tu Ling guy is pretty tough. He actually managed to hold on until now. It seems he's someone with great fortune and a big secret. No wonder the Five Elements Clan has sent out their invincible forces for him several times... Fine, I'll let you go for now. Next time you'll fall into my hands... Hmph."

After saying that, Su Yu closed his eyes again. He wanted to seize the time to cultivate, and then go out and have some fun... no, he wanted to go out for a walk and get some fresh air.

Today it is today.

Su Yu has completed seven more body forgings, and now he has reached a terrifying level of 60 forgings!

And this was even after the Zhou Tian Qiao (a point on the body's energy channels) had been opened.

It's fair to say that Su Yu is now even more of a beast than a metal-eating beast!

If a beast of the same level were to meet him, it would probably have to bow down and call him "brother".

Even if he encounters experts at the fourth or fifth level of the Sun and Moon Realm, Su Yu dares to challenge them.

However, his goal is to reach the Seventy-Second Casting, so it's not advisable for him to make a move for the time being. Therefore, he chooses to keep a low profile.

However, things didn't go as planned. He didn't want to pay attention to Fu Tu Ling, but Fu Tu Ling and an elder from the Five Elements Clan came to his door.

Of course, we're not looking for him, we're looking for the Hunter's Pavilion.

Soon, Fu Tu Ling purchased some intelligence and Heavenly Yuan Qi from Su Yu.

Then Fu Tuling asked a question that startled Su Yu: "Do you think it's possible that Su Yu's presence in the City Lord's Mansion is a smokescreen, and that he has actually already slipped out, but no one knows it?"

Su Yu's heart skipped a beat, but he calmly replied, "We don't know about that. Su Yu is very cautious and didn't bring any of the Hunter's Ranking sub-ranks with him, so we have no way to locate him. If either of you has any definite information, my Hunter's Pavilion is willing to buy it at a high price."

Fu Tuling shook his head and said, "You Hunter's Pavilion are really impatient. You betrayed Su Yu's location so quickly. No wonder he was on guard. If you had waited a little longer and used it at a crucial moment, he would have been in deep trouble. Sigh... you..."

Fu Tuling looked at Su Yu with a disappointed expression, making Su Yu's eyelids twitch.

That guy's smart!

However... clever people often don't live long!

Su Yu glanced at Elder Tuhe beside Fu Tuling. "Seventh level of Sun and Moon Realm. Fine... I'll let you off this time. If you dare to make wild guesses again, I'll beat you to death!"

Immediately afterwards, Fu Tuling and Elder Tuhe left.

Su Yu quickly contacted Elder Xuanjia, who was currently the only elder in the Hunter's Pavilion who knew his true identity.

They recruited him into the Hunter's Pavilion because they valued his status as a resident of the ancient city and weren't worried about him running around.

But as they talked, Elder Xuanjia began to regret his decision.

Su Yu asked Elder Xuanjia many questions, and then ignored him, as Elder Xuanjia had already sealed off the city again!

Various races sent powerful Sun and Moon level experts to block him; did they really think he was made of clay?

Even a clay figure has a temper, let alone me, Su Yu!

······

Half a day later.

Su Yu's voice resounded throughout the ancient city. He stated directly, "I am Su Yu. Since all races have chosen to block my way, then I'll play along. I hereby declare that the ancient city will be sealed off in one day. You all have one day to leave. If you insist on staying, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"

After saying that, no matter how much the various races and the sun and moon tried to provoke him, Su Yu remained silent.

I can't be bothered with you. If you don't leave, you'll regret it in a day!

After Su Yu finished speaking, Fu Tuling left Xinghong Ancient City without hesitation, taking Elder Tuhe with him.
