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

What terrifying power! It's far stronger than that of humans!

Therefore, once the human race has the assistance of the thirty-six ancient cities, and with the attainment of enlightenment by Xia Longwu and more than a dozen others, the human race's strength will surge. At that time, even if Huang Ying and the others are exposed, it won't be a big problem.

Qin Guang said helplessly, "Old Zhu, your idea is too far-fetched. You want Su Yu to integrate the thirty-six ancient cities, but with his current strength, how is that possible? Do you think the town guards will listen to him?"

Qin Guang was well aware of the strength of the thirty-six ancient cities, but from ancient times to the present, the ancient cities had always been neutral forces. It was extremely difficult to get them to side with one side!

Landlord Zhu said nonchalantly, "How do you know it won't work if you don't try? I feel that Su Yu is capable; he's someone who has created miracles time and time again."

Yun Jie glanced at Zhu Dizhu. Su Yu could indeed do it now, but the key was that Su Yu didn't know he could do it. Hongmeng wouldn't tell him, and Xing Hong would be even less likely to.

If he doesn't say anything now, he can find all sorts of reasons to bully Su Yu. But if he does say something, he might be the one being bullied.

Therefore, when Su Yu left the city, Xing Hong pretended to reluctantly help him once, and only on the battlefield of the heavens.

Even so, Su Yu was already overjoyed. If he knew that the Thirty-Six Ancient Cities would fully support him, who knows what kind of crazy things he would do.

In short, Hongmeng's idea was to keep it a secret for as long as possible. They were willing to help Su Yu, but they simply wouldn't tell anyone, so that it wouldn't be considered a violation of their agreement with Wen Yi.

Alright, Yun Jie didn't interfere too much with this.

Moreover, if Su Yu really knew that the Thirty-Six Ancient Cities were behind him, he probably wouldn't have chosen to sneak back into the human realm through the Hunter's Pavilion. Instead, he would have led the Thirty-Six Ancient Cities to rule the Eastern Rift Valley and had them help guard the border.

Don't doubt it, Su Yu is capable of doing this.

Therefore, it's good that HarmonyOS keeps it from Su Yu for the time being.

Qin Guang was actually quite interested in what Zhu Dizhu said, so he turned his gaze to Yun Jie and asked, "Yun Jie, do you think Su Yu can facilitate an alliance between the human race and the thirty-six ancient cities?"

Yes, it's an alliance. Qin Guang doesn't believe Su Yu can bring the Thirty-Six Ancient Cities under the control of the human race. That's too far-fetched. Therefore, his idea is to use Su Yu as a link between the human race and the Thirty-Six Ancient Cities to facilitate an alliance.

Yun Jie thought for a moment and smiled, "We can give it a try, there's nothing to lose anyway. But speaking of alliances, we shouldn't forget our allies."

The group was taken aback. Qin Guang frowned slightly and asked, "Are you talking about the Hundred Races Alliance?"

"Ah."

"Are they...reliable? Are they willing to step in at such a critical moment? Is there anything wrong with Dao Qi?"

Because the Hundred Races Alliance has many problems, no one thought of asking them for help. If they were to be betrayed instead of helped, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Qin Guang's concerns were the concerns of everyone else.

Yun Jie continued, "Whether the Hundred Races Alliance is trustworthy or not is not important. Even if Dao Qi is truly Tian Gu's arrangement, he will not expose Dao Qi until the final battle. Therefore, the Hundred Races Alliance will not easily turn against us."

"Moreover, we can have them help hold off some people on the periphery. If they are on the periphery, even if they really side with the myriad races, we will have enough time to react."

"Hey, this is a good idea. We don't necessarily need them to participate. They just need to help us keep the myriad races in check from the outside. With the strength of the Hundred Races Alliance, keeping the myriad races in check shouldn't be a problem."

The group's eyes lit up; this was indeed a good idea.

Moreover, the human race and the Hundred Races Alliance have only been allied for a short time, and they are currently in a honeymoon period. It should not be a problem to have them help restrain the myriad races.

At this moment, Yun Jie continued, "It's not enough to just get them to do things; we also need to give them some benefits. We can't let them work for free. We also need to show our sincerity. The most important factor in maintaining an alliance is interests. Only when there are benefits to be discussed can it be called an alliance and can it last."

Landlord Zhu said with some reluctance, "What kind of benefits should we offer? What if they ask for an exorbitant amount?"

Yun Jie smiled and said, "Probably not. Dao Qi isn't a foolish or short-sighted person. He probably won't make any demands that we can't possibly agree to. I think he's very likely to ask us for some of the things inside the Nan Yuan Ruins. Not to mention, the Hundred Races Alliance has so many small races under its command, and they consume more resources every day than our human race. I estimate they're already dirt poor."

Qin Guang and the others thought quickly, and finally nodded and said, "Alright, then you go and talk to Dao Qi. It would be best if you could win them over, but if not... then forget it."

Yun Jie nodded in agreement, then looked at Zhou Tianqi and said, "Old Zhou, I'll have to trouble you from now on."

Zhou Tianqi nodded helplessly. Fine, she really knows how to order people around.

Yun Jie smiled, then disappeared from the spot. However, the next second, another Yun Jie appeared.

At this moment, Yun Jie was already on his way to the Hundred Clans Alliance. The sudden appearance of this person was naturally Zhou Tianqi's doing. As long as this fake Yun Jie didn't make a move, no one would know that he was fake.

······

······

Half a day later.

Yun Jie arrived at the Hundred Races Alliance headquarters without making a sound, and Dao Qi was unsurprisingly inside.

Afterwards, Yun Jie pretended to have a conversation with Dao Qi and finally reached an agreement. Afterwards, Yun Jie hurriedly returned to the Eastern Rift Valley.

"Everyone, Dao Qi has agreed to lend a hand. At the same time, his request is not unexpected. He needs a portion of our gains from the Nan Yuan Ruins. Of course, the premise is that we can protect the ruins and prevent them from being taken away by the myriad races."

Now, the group smiled. This greatly increased Xia Longwu and his companions' chances of successfully attaining enlightenment, a stark contrast to the previous situation where they saw no hope at all.

The last few people exchanged glances. They had completed all the necessary preparations and were now just waiting for the right moment.

The winds of Nanyuan haven't really picked up yet...

Time never stops for anyone. In the blink of an eye, a month has passed since Su Yu last locked down the city, and it is now the end of July.

For the past month, the battlefield of the heavens has been unusually quiet, with almost no fighting in sight, as each race is quietly preparing something.

However, on this very day, Su Yu emerged from seclusion!

After leaving the ancient city, he went to a secluded place to cultivate. In the past few days, he has only completed 5 forgings. Now he has completed a total of 65 forgings, and his physical strength has exceeded 500,000 acupoints, and is even close to 600,000!

All things considered, Su Yu has only just entered the ninth level of the Sky Soaring Realm, but with his current strength, killing someone at the third or fourth level of the Sun Moon Realm is no problem at all. If he were to unleash his full power, he feels that he could even have a chance against someone at the late stage of the Sun Moon Realm.

It took nearly twenty days to complete the fifth forging. This wasn't because Su Yu's cultivation speed had slowed down, but because the forging process became increasingly difficult, and he was now almost at the final stage.

Therefore, forging the body became increasingly difficult, and the consumption of resources also increased, but fortunately he had enough resources.

Moreover, after a period of seclusion, Su Yu discovered that seclusion was not suitable for him; only combat could allow him to improve rapidly.

Inside the cave, Su Yu slowly stood up, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. Tomorrow was the time agreed upon by the Hunter's Pavilion, and he should set off for the Ancient City of Heaven's Destruction.

In the human realm, I, Su Yu, am about to return!

The next second, Su Yu transformed into a shadow and moved rapidly toward the direction of the Ancient City of Heavenly Destruction.

With the improvement in strength, speed also increased significantly, and in just half a day, the Ancient City of Heaven's Destruction came into view.

Silently gazing at the Ancient City of Heaven's Destruction, Su Yu couldn't help but sigh, "This is where I, Su Yu, rose to prominence! I'm back!"

At this moment, he was extremely smug. There was no way around it; he had killed Sun and Moon for the first time here, and many of his firsts had also been given to the Ancient City of Heavenly Destruction. Now that he had returned and his strength had increased dramatically, he couldn't help but be smug.

If it were anyone else, they would have gloated too, but Su Yu only enjoyed himself in his heart.

Soon, without much hesitation, Su Yu stepped into the ancient city with practiced ease, as if he were returning home.

That's right. He's a resident of the ancient city now. Although he's from Xinghong Ancient City, all thirty-six ancient cities are one family. So, in other words, the other ancient cities are also his home!

The moment he stepped into the ancient city, Tianmie in the rear hall of the city lord's mansion opened his eyes instantly. Damn it! Why is this kid here!

Isn't he with Xinghong? He's already a resident of the ancient city and he's still wandering around!

Wait a minute, Su Yu was able to run out alive and kicking after a month of lockdown, so could he help Xing Hong withstand all the death energy?

Holy crap! No way?

Tianmie suddenly felt he couldn't sit still any longer. If that were to happen, wouldn't he be missing out on a "great treasure"?

Su Yu rose to prominence under his tutelage, and he even learned his breathing techniques from him!

Damn it! No way, no way!

You're scaring yourself. How could Su Yu be that monstrous? He's just a mere Lingyun Realm cultivator.

However, when Tianmie turned his gaze to Su Yu again, he felt like he was going blind.

Holy crap! What's going on? His physical body is still at the Sky Soaring Realm? It doesn't look like it at all! People would believe he's a Sun Moon Realm expert, but who the hell would believe he's at the Sky Soaring Realm?!

65 cast! 72 casts of food-grade iron!

Upon closer inspection, Tianmie instantly understood: Su Yu cultivated the Seventy-Two Iron Forging Technique, and he had heard that he had completed the Heavenly Cycle Body Forging in the Human Realm, and even received blessings from the Human Emperor. In that case, it seemed acceptable that Su Yu was so monstrous... what a load of rubbish!

How could Su Yu's talent be so high? It seems to have no upper limit, and he can keep improving.

In ancient times, there were quite a few people who cultivated the Seventy-Two Iron-Eating Techniques, but not everyone could cultivate to a high level, let alone complete the Heavenly Cycle Body Forging and then cultivate the Seventy-Two Iron-Eating Techniques. Talent has its limits!

However, right now, Tianmie can't see where Su Yu is online, which is terrifying.

Just as Tianmie was in shock, he inadvertently discovered a figure.

Holy crap!

Tianmie rubbed his eyes in disbelief. That was... Xinghong!!?

Did they actually get out?

But why can't we see any trace of death aura emanating from Su Yu? Where did it all go?

Tianmie instantly transmitted his voice to Xinghong: "What the hell are you doing out here? Aren't you supposed to be guarding the necromancer passage?"

Xinghong looked at him with some surprise: "I came out to protect Su Yu, what? You didn't know? Didn't the boss tell you?"

Tianmie was so frustrated he felt like vomiting blood. What did he know? He realized he knew nothing at all. So many things had happened today that shocked him!

Xinghong ignored him and continued, "Don't worry about the Necromancer Passage. Su Yu has taken on all the death energy for me, so nothing will happen for the time being. Xingyue is also behaving herself."

!!!

It really is Su Yu!

Tianmie looked at Su Yu but couldn't see anything unusual. The death energy in Su Yu's body was not much different from that of an ordinary resident, only about twice that of an ordinary resident. Moreover, Su Yu was probably the city lord of Xinghong Ancient City, so he was supposed to bear more death energy than an ordinary resident. In addition, leaving the ancient city would accelerate the erosion, but Tianmie didn't see any of it on Su Yu at all.

However, Tianmie was still puzzled: "Just because Su Yu can help you withstand the death energy, you ran out to protect him? Was it necessary? You and I are ancient eternities! In the human race, we are on par with the Great Xia King!"

Xing Hong remained silent. He realized that Tian Mie knew nothing, so he was unsure whether to tell Tian Mie or not. He didn't want to imagine the consequences if Tian Mie made a fuss and Su Yu found out.

Holy crap, Eagle's book is amazing! I haven't even read a hundred chapters in total, including yesterday and today! Wow! That's incredible!

I counted, and I can't even read five chapters in an hour...

Ahem, so you'll understand me, right?

The rear hall of the ancient city of Tianmie.

The old monkey Tianmie ignored Xinghong and slowly lowered his head, staring blankly at the floor.
