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

Whether others believe it or not, he's afraid of Su Yu. And why should he be so reckless as to test whether Su Yu dares to seal off the city?

This kind of thing can be left to someone else.

As the Floating Earth Spirit left, many other creatures followed suit, though not many. These people were just trying their luck; if Su Yu was truly all bark and no bite, they could simply come back in later.

······

The remaining people were unmoved by Su Yu's warning. In their view, Su Yu was only at the Lingyun Realm, and if he dared to seal off the city, he would surely die within three days.

Therefore, they were actually happy for Su Yu to seal off the city.

They had made preparations before they came, and this time, it wouldn't matter if Su Yu sealed it off for a month.

And so, the day passed quickly.

With a loud rumble, the city gates slammed shut once more.

However, no one panicked. Unless Su Yu was courting death, he would definitely lift the lockdown on the third day.

outside the city.

Fu Tuling's eyelids twitched, and he said to Elder Tuhe, "Thank goodness we're out."

Elder Tuhe was somewhat speechless: "Is it necessary? It's only three days at most. The city gates will definitely open after three days."

Fu Tuling sneered, "Heh, Elder, just wait and see. Su Yu is definitely serious, otherwise he wouldn't be closing the city gates now."

Fu Tuling felt that he had not guessed wrong. If Su Yu really could not hold on in three days and then opened the city gates himself, then why would he seal the city today? Why would he make himself suffer? Since he dared to seal the city, it meant that he must be confident.

Elder Tuhe was still not quite convinced. Even a Black Demon at the ninth level of the Sun and Moon Realm wouldn't dare to seal off a city so easily, let alone Su Yu.

Fu Tuling knew Elder Tuhe didn't believe him, so he didn't bother to explain: "Just wait and see, this time, those guys inside are in for a rough time!"

Seeing Fu Tuling's confident expression, Elder Tuhe didn't say much. Just as Fu Tuling had said, they would wait and see, and the answer would be revealed in three days.

······

at the same time.

With Su Yu sealing off the city, he once again attracted the attention of all races. As for Nan Yuan, it is not yet certain whether the ruins exist, so their enthusiasm is not too high.

Eastern Rift Valley.

Qin Guang looked up at the sky, pressed two fingers to his temples, and said with a headache, "What is Su Yu up to now?"

They deliberately released the news to attract the attention of all races, but Su Yu immediately drew their attention away again. Isn't this... sabotage?

Yun Jie remained silent. He knew what Su Yu was up to, but... he didn't want to say. He was also a little tired. Su Yu wouldn't be Su Yu if he didn't cause trouble.

Zhou Tianqi, who was standing to the side, wanted to laugh, but the atmosphere wasn't quite right, so he held it back.

He said slowly, "It's good that Su Yu is attracting the attention of all races. After all, we are not fully prepared yet. Once the storm on his side passes, we should be almost ready."

Qin Guang said helplessly, "I hope so."

Then he looked at Yun Jie: "Has Yun Chen returned?"

"Yes, I'm back. I've already returned to the human realm."

"That's good. It's better not to run around outside during this sensitive period."

Qin Guang nodded, satisfied.

But soon his headache returned. Yun Chen had gone back, but Xia Longwu had run out again... There wasn't a single one of them who was easy to deal with!

"Where did Xia Longwu go?"

At this time, Xia Wushen was not there, nor was Landlord Zhu.

Zhou Tianqi pondered for a moment: "They probably contacted the lords of various ancient cities, and it's possible they want to form an alliance with them."

Qin Guang asked, "An alliance with the city lord of the ancient city? Is that reliable?"

Zhou Tianqi shook his head and said, "I don't know, but I think Xia Longwu should know what he's doing. He's not the kind of person who acts rashly. Since he chose to go to these city lord alliances, it means he's confident."

Upon hearing this, Qin Guang was somewhat tempted: "If Xia Longwu can really win them over, then he will have more help. These city lords, relying on the ancient city, should have no problem holding off an invincible one. I just don't know how many city lords Xia Longwu can reach an agreement with in the end."

Yun Jie thought for a moment and said, "There shouldn't be too many. After all, some city lords are aligned with the myriad races, or are even members of the myriad races themselves. Xia Longwu can only contact those city lords who are neutral or even slightly biased towards us."

Qin Guang was well aware of what Yun Jie had said, and now he just hoped for as much as possible.

······

Time passed day by day.

The creatures and all races within the ancient city began to panic!

This is totally illogical!

Four days have passed since Su Yu sealed off the city.

Outside the city, Fu Tuling glanced at Elder Tuhe and said smugly, "Elder, wasn't I right? Su Yu is someone you can't judge by the standards of a normal person; you'll suffer greatly if you do! It's a pity those people haven't learned their lesson after suffering so many losses; they deserve it!"

Elder Tuhe was surprised and his opinion of Su Yu was changed again, but he still stopped Fu Tuling: "Shh, watch your words!"

"What are you afraid of? Are they going to kill me just because of what I said?"

Even so, Fu Tuling chose to keep quiet. Being high-profile was not his style; being low-profile was.

in the city.

The various tribes and the Sun Moon were starting to panic. It had been four days already, and the city gates still hadn't opened.

Compared to the powerful clans, the smaller clans were even more panicked. They were now filled with regret, wishing they could slap themselves. Why hadn't they listened to the warnings? Why did they have to court death?

Oh no, some of them have already slapped themselves several times.

Unfortunately, there's no going back in any world.

Su Yu proved to them with his actions what it means to keep one's word and deliver on one's promises!

At the same time, Su Yu did not forget his main purpose in locking down the city: to make a fortune.

Although he's not short of money, it would be foolish not to make money when it's available, and Su Yu is a very smart man.

For four consecutive days, the Heavenly Origin Qi extracted by Su Yu became a bestseller in the ancient city, and many people had their wallets emptied by Su Yu.

The great clans were well-prepared, so they hadn't been able to empty them out yet. However, Su Yu firmly believed that he was not far from emptying them out.

Just as Su Yu was secretly rejoicing, Xing Hong quietly transferred one-tenth of the death energy he was bearing onto Su Yu.

Next, he was going out of the city to watch a play, so naturally he had to test Su Yu's limits to see if he could help him bear all the death energy.

Su Yu was startled by the sudden deathly aura.

"Holy crap, what's going on? Could it be... that the longer the city is under lockdown, the stronger the death aura becomes? No, I have to ask the garrison commander."

Su Yu didn't even bother counting the money anymore. He quickly activated the Yuanqiao Reversal Technique to reverse the death energy, otherwise he would really die if things continued like this.

Xinghong watched as Su Yu quickly suppressed the death energy and secretly clicked his tongue in amazement. So fast!

No wonder Hongmeng asked us to support him. He's already so powerful at only the Lingyun Realm. Imagine how amazing he'll be when he gets even stronger.

As he looked at it, Xinghong thought to himself, "Should I transfer another 10% to him?"

No, no, we've only just turned it once. If we do it again, it might arouse his suspicion.

No rush, no rush, take your time. Judging from Su Yu's expression, he clearly doesn't intend to lift the lockdown so quickly. Give him another 10% in a few days, until the lockdown ends.

Xinghong was making his plans perfectly, while Su Yu knew nothing and thought it was all a side effect of the lockdown.

Two hours later.

Su Yu slowly opened his eyes, revealing a look of surprise and doubt: "Damn, no wonder I've never heard of any ancient city lord daring to seal off a city. With this deathly aura, wouldn't sealing it off mean death for everyone?"

The rear hall of the city lord's mansion.

Xinghong laughed and said, "Yes, yes, that's right. This is the fault of the lockdown, it has nothing to do with me."

Xing Hong felt incredibly lucky and grateful that Su Yu hadn't transformed into a resident of the Ancient City of Heavenly Destruction, nor had he transformed into a resident of the Ancient City of Hongmeng. Otherwise, he wouldn't know when he would be able to leave.

Xing Hong grew increasingly satisfied with Su Yu. Now, even if the Hongmeng Old Turtle didn't say anything, he would definitely protect Su Yu as long as the rules weren't broken. Such a good city lord was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

······

As time went by, not only the creatures within the city, but also the myriad races outside were going crazy.

Ten days! A full ten days have passed since the city was locked down!

How come Su Yu, that scourge, is still alive!

Damn it! That's utterly despicable!

Eleven days, twelve days, and all the way to fifteen days, all the ethnic groups were in despair.

Inside the city.

Purple Demon from the Bloodfire Demon Clan sighed, "Everyone, prepare to break out. I have already contacted Invincible. When he attacks the ancient city, that will be our time to break out. At that time, the Immortal Clan will cover our retreat."

Just as the Immortal Sun and Moon was about to speak, the Purple Demon interrupted him, saying sternly, "Don't speak. If you don't cover our retreat, we can join forces to kill you right now. Do you choose to die now or cover our retreat? You should know that with your Immortal Clan's secret techniques, you might not die even if you cover our retreat."

The feud between the Demon Clan and the Immortal Clan needs no further explanation. The Immortal Clan member who has come is only at the seventh level of the Sun and Moon Realm, while the Purple Demon is at the ninth level, making him the strongest person besides the Guardian. In addition, the God Clan also dislikes the Immortal Clan, the Underworld Clan has a long-standing feud with the Immortal Clan, and the Dragon Clan and the Heavenly Spirit Ape Clan are not familiar with the Immortal Clan. Therefore, the Immortal Clan members at the Sun and Moon Realm Realm can only reluctantly agree.

His eyes held a hint of grief and indignation as he gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, I'll cover your retreat. One day..."

"Alright, stop talking tough now. Who's afraid of who? Say one more word and we'll kill you right now."

Now, the Immortal Sun Moon dared not speak, but he had already harbored resentment towards everyone present. If he survived this, he would definitely seek revenge.

His thoughts naturally did not escape the notice of the others. Some were already thinking of striking first, taking advantage of the Immortal Clan's Sun and Moon Palace to ambush him and kill him. After all, being targeted by an Immortal Clan member would be a headache even for them.

For a time, the group had different thoughts and ulterior motives.

Just as they were silently plotting and waiting for the invincible city to be breached, an unexpected change suddenly occurred!

The unexpected turn of events caught everyone off guard.

A voice that no one expected rang out from the east: "From this day forward, until Xinghong Ancient City voluntarily lifts its lockdown, no invincible race may attack Xinghong Ancient City; otherwise, war will break out!!!"

Qin Guang's grand and majestic voice instantly ignited the entire battlefield of the heavens.

In an instant, the invincible beings of all races awoke and turned their gaze toward the Eastern Rift Valley.

Qin Guang stood alone atop the Eastern Rift Valley, spear in hand. Beside him stood Yun Jie and Zhou Tianqi, one on each side, their imposing presence as deep as an abyss.

Following them were Tang Tianzhong, Wu Zhong, and their group of invincible humans. They were all gazing in the direction of Xinghong Ancient City, their auras ready to erupt at any moment.

This is clearly a message to all races: we are serious!
