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

Seeing this, the elders naturally wanted to press their advantage.

Elder Xuanbing, who played the white-faced character, said in a gentle tone, "Don't be afraid. Your value is far more than this. We won't lay a hand on you casually. In fact, you should show your value. That way, our men will be more dedicated to protecting you, and you will be safer, won't you?"

"Are you serious?" Lin Xian was somewhat tempted, but it seemed like he was making a final struggle.

"Of course, you can ask them if you don't believe me."

Xuan Bing laughed. "Young masters from powerful clans are still too naive. They're so easy to fool."

Lin Xian looked at the others, glanced around, and then reluctantly said, "Okay, I can tell you, but I don't want to tell him."

As he spoke, Lin Xian pointed to Elder Huang Yi, the "black-faced actor".

After Lin Xian finished speaking, Huang Yi's face really turned black, but he was wearing a mask so it couldn't be seen.

Xuan Bing shook his head and smiled, "Okay, no problem, then I won't tell him."

Then he turned to Huang Yi and said, "Elder Huang Yi, please. Didn't you hear them say they wouldn't tell you?"

At the same time, Xuan Bing was also transmitting his voice to Huang Yi: "Huang Yi, you'll have to bear with it for now. Once we've squeezed this kid dry, we'll hand him over to you to deal with. You can kill him as you please, how about that?"

Huang Yi replied telepathically, "No problem, then it's settled."

After saying that, Huang Yi walked away without a word, exuding a cold and unapproachable aura.

Seeing this, Lin Xian's lips curled up slightly, but he quickly suppressed it.

Xuan Bing and the others noticed his little tricks and couldn't help but find them amusing. Alas, he was still too young.

Huang Yi left.

It didn't just walk to the side; it flew away and disappeared without a trace.

He felt there was no need for him to stay there any longer. He got angry whenever he saw Lin Xian, but he couldn't do anything to him for the time being, so he simply decided to avoid seeing him altogether.

"Can you talk now?"

Elder Xuanbing said with a smile after Huang Yi disappeared without a trace.

Lin Xian looked in the direction Huang Yi had left and chuckled to himself. It was like he had a road to heaven but chose to go to the governor's place. Wasn't this like throwing a meat bun to a dog, with no chance of returning?

"Lord, I have a lone elder flying towards your direction. Do you think you can take him down?"

Finally, perhaps fearing that Zhang Jing was deliberately holding back and unwilling to go all out, Su Yu added, "I believe this is a piece of cake for you, Prefect, otherwise the Prefect wouldn't have asked you to help me."

the other side.

Zhang Jing laughed and scolded, "You little rascal, put away your tricks. I don't need your flattery, I've got this elder all to myself! By the way, is this your boss?"

Compared to the others, Zhang Jing was more interested in Su Yu's direct elders.

“No,” Su Yu said, glancing at Xuanjia out of the corner of his eye.

He continued, "Prefect, when should we take action to eliminate this group? They're asking me for information now."

Zhang Jing thought for a moment and said, "Let me deal with this lone one first. As for the information they want, just make it up. They can't tell the difference anyway. You can exaggerate however you want. When it comes to lying, you, Su Yu, are definitely a master, so I won't embarrass myself in front of you."

Su Yu remained silent for a long time. Oh well, let's just take it as the prefect praising me.

"Lin Xian!"

Seeing that Su Yu was still in a daze, Xuan Bing couldn't help but frown. That's enough, isn't it? Is it necessary to be happy for so long?

"Oh, oh," Su Yu came back to his senses and said happily, "Ask whatever you want, but only one at a time. It's agreed beforehand that I won't answer any more questions, and I can't guarantee that I can answer them all."

"Just one?" Xuan Bing frowned.

Su Yu said firmly, "Just one! There's no room for negotiation. Otherwise, I won't need to go back to Da Xuan Mansion. I've already taken a huge risk. If it's just a piece of information, I might be able to make an exception for my great-grandfather. But more than that is not acceptable. If I say no, then no. Even if you kill me, it won't do you any good!"

Xuan Bing and the others exchanged glances, but they didn't suspect anything. It was already quite bold of this kid to reveal a secret.

Of course, they wouldn't give up so easily. Afterwards, they would definitely try to extract more information about the Great Xuan Mansion from Lin Xian.

Once the door is opened, it's hard to close it again. Once it's opened, it'll open again. Sooner or later, they'll squeeze every last drop out of Lin Xian.

After a brief discussion, Xuanbing and the others reached a consensus.

Just how much power does the Great Xuan Mansion secretly possess?

Xuan Bing and the others stared intently at "Lin Xian," including Xuan Jia, who was also curious about the power of the Great Xuan Mansion. However, he did not believe that Su Yu would tell the truth, so he was prepared to listen to it as a joke.

Lin Xian's brows furrowed instantly, and he said with great difficulty, "Could we ask a different question...?"

Xuan Bing and the others became anxious and shouted, "No! This is it!"

“I… this… sigh!” Lin Xian hesitated several times before finally letting out a long sigh. He said in a muffled voice, “Once I overheard my great-grandfather talking with several other legion commanders. I heard them say that in addition to the seventy-three Sun and Moon Realms that are publicly known, the Great Xuan Palace also has thirty-seven more in secret, making a total of one hundred and ten.”

"so much?"

Xuan Bing and the others couldn't help but gasp. If that were true, the Sun and Moon in the Great Xuan Prefecture would be three or four times that of other great prefectures, and for weaker prefectures, the difference would be six or seven times.

Lin Xian nodded hesitantly: "That's about it. I overheard it by accident."

"More than a hundred suns and moons, that's shocking enough," Xuan Bing and the others were also frightened. No wonder the Great Xuan Mansion was a forbidden zone for various forces. With so many suns and moons distributed in one mansion, it would be strange if a spy went in and didn't die.

"What about the others? Continue, talk about each realm."

At this point, Lin Xian was completely unfazed and continued, "The number of people in the Mountain and Sea Realm should be over two hundred. As for those below that, I don't know. I only know that there are many, but I don't know the exact number. I haven't paid much attention to it before."

"Two hundred Mountain and Sea Realms? That's too few; there are already over a hundred Sun and Moon Realms."

Lin Xian immediately explained, "No, no, I heard that most of the resources were used on those at the Sun and Moon Realm. Those below the Sun and Moon Realm only accounted for a portion of them. Otherwise, it would be impossible for so many Sun and Moon Realm experts to appear at the same time. These powerful individuals consume a lot of resources. It's just that my family has some connections and doesn't lack resources. Those without power are basically struggling."

“Alright, that’s understandable,” the elders nodded. They were themselves Sun and Moon cultivators and knew very well how many resources a Sun and Moon cultivator needed to cultivate.

"What about invincibility? Including near-invincibility, what realm is your great-grandfather at now? Has he obtained three incarnations?"

Lin Xian gave a wry smile: "Not long ago, I was lifted into the air by trash. How would I know about the affairs of these important people? However, I do know a little about my great-grandfather. According to him, he is now confident that he can retrieve one of the three incarnations, but he is stuck in the Nine Heavens of Sun and Moon because he has no vessel to carry him."

Lin Xian suddenly said, "By the way, isn't your Hunter's Pavilion incredibly powerful? Do you have any carriers for sale? I'm willing to exchange them for intelligence!"

"Well... of course we do! Our minister has a few, but the price is too high, so they haven't been sold yet. We just can't afford them."

Several elders couldn't help but complain, "Who the hell would be crazy enough to think about selling the carrier? Would anyone complain about having too many of these?"

Everyone who owns a vessel usually keeps it hidden, afraid that others will find out, and no one would actually sell it.

However, Lin Xian in front of them seemed unaware of this common knowledge, which gave them room to maneuver.

It's all lies; all you need is a mouth!

"Really?"

Lin Xian then revealed a look of surprise: "Tell me quickly, how can I get a replacement?"

Xuanjia was almost speechless. Su Yu was getting more and more into his act, yet no one could see through him. If he hadn't already known Su Yu's identity, he probably would have been fooled too.

No wonder he was able to manipulate all races with just an "ancient corpse"! My lineage of the Divine Script has a worthy successor!

It's a pity... he went to the Great Xuan Mansion, and we don't know if he'll ever come back.

Nan Wujiang's thoughts wandered; he had just been complaining, but now he was starting to appreciate talent.

Seeing how eager Lin Xian was, Xuan Bing was no longer in a hurry and decided to leave Lin Xian hanging for now. The more anxious Lin Xian was, the greater the price he would pay.

So he slowly said, "We need to consult the minister first. I can't give you a definite answer right now. In short, the price will definitely be high. You need to think carefully about what you have to offer that can impress an invincible person."

"Okay, okay, no problem," Lin Xian said confidently, as if he was very sure of what was going on.

After saying that, Lin Xian smiled, and the elders also smiled. As for what they were smiling about, only they knew.

the other side.

Zhang Jing and his group finally spotted Elder Huang Yi, who was alone.

Standing to the side, Chen Henian was eager to try, and said excitedly, "He's in my hands, none of you are allowed to take him from me!"

Chen Ping, the commander of the Azure Dragon Army, was displeased: "Why should it be handed over to you! The defense of the Great Xuan Prefecture is now the responsibility of my Azure Dragon Army! Get out of my way!"

Chen Henian was unconvinced and sneered, "That's ridiculous. Look around, is this even Da Xuan? We're not even on Da Xuan's territory, so what are you talking about with me, the Azure Dragon Army!"

At this moment, Zhang Jing said calmly, "You two can argue and quarrel all you want. I'll take care of him."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Jing vanished from the spot.

"Damn it! Old Zhang has no sportsmanship!"

After finishing their rant, Chen Henian and the others hurriedly chased after them.

Huang Yi carefully concealed himself along the way. Next, he planned to go to the neighboring Great Wei Prefecture. The Great Wei Prefecture was relatively weak, and with his cultivation at the seventh level of the Sun and Moon Realm, he would be able to thrive there.

Although he was very careful along the way, he wasn't particularly worried. Now that he was separated from the main group, he was actually safer.

Suddenly, his heart tightened for no apparent reason. Oh no!

Huang Yi reacted instantly. Although he didn't know what was going to happen, his intuition told him that he was being watched!

"Heh, I didn't expect you to react so quickly."

Zhang Jing's voice rang out behind Huang Yi. As he spoke, his right hand, like a vicious venomous snake, swiftly reached for Huang Yi's neck. If it landed firmly, Huang Yi would surely be decapitated.

However, thanks to his intuition, he was able to prepare in advance.

In the blink of an eye, "Clang!"

A large sword blocked Zhang Jing's attack, and Zhang Jing's hand struck the sword hard.

Before Huang Yi could even relax, there was a snap, and the knife... broke!
