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

Then he reached for the mask on his face and slowly... removed it.

quiet!

silence!

Su Yu's eyes widened. It was a human! But... he didn't recognize them. He was completely lost.

Zhang Jing spoke, sounding somewhat incredulous, "I never expected it to be you..."

"I rely on!"

Even Chen Henian and his rough-looking men couldn't help but swear.

"Prefect, who exactly is this elder? You all seem quite surprised. Do I know him?"

Su Yu walked over; he couldn't just stay away, he was curious too.

Ji Ling said calmly, "I know him. Of course you know him. He's an old guy who's been dead for a long time."

Su Yu was speechless. Couldn't you stop only saying half of what you mean?! It's infuriating, you know?!

"Ye Batian?"

Su Yu asked tentatively.

“Hahaha,” Zhang Jing couldn’t help but laugh out loud, “No, but it’s not far off. Never mind, I’ll just tell you directly, he is Nan Wujiang, Ye Batian’s teacher, and also the third-generation dean of the Great Xia Civilization Academy. Well, in terms of seniority, you should be his great-great-great-grand-disciple…”

"Alright, alright, stop nagging, my head hurts!"

Su Yu had to interrupt Zhang Jing. He knew he was of a lower generation, but this was far too low. Moreover, he didn't care much for Nan Wujiang. So what if he was a third generation? In the Great Xia Prefecture's multi-divine script lineage, he only recognized Liu Wenyan, Bai Feng, Chen Yong, Hong Tan, and Wu Jia. The others were irrelevant to him.

“Hehe,” Zhang Jing ignored him and turned to Nan Wujiang, saying, “It seems that you faked your death back then in order to infiltrate the Hunter’s Pavilion and then take the opportunity to prove your Dao? However, it seems that you failed.”

Nan Wujiang smiled faintly, "It was indeed unsuccessful, but at least I obtained two carriers through the Hunter's Pavilion over the years. However, if I had stayed in the Human Realm, I might not have had this opportunity. Not all great prefectures are like your Great Xuan, with so many carriers..."

As he spoke, Nan Wujiang felt incredibly bitter. He had gone through so much trouble to get two carriers, and now he saw the five people in front of him, each with two carriers, which added up to ten carriers!

And there are more than just these five; there must be others. This shows just how wealthy the Great Xuan Mansion is!

Why is the King of Xia so poor?

Otherwise, I wouldn't have gone through so much trouble, faking my death and infiltrating the Hunter's Pavilion.

Before today, Nan Wujiang thought the Great Xia King was very powerful and the Xia Blade was the best in the world, but after seeing it today, he thought, "Pah, bullshit!"

The Great Xuan King was able to give so many artifacts to his subordinates, but you can't even produce one. You're truly useless!

At this moment, Nan Wujiang cursed Xia Wushen in his heart. It was fortunate that Xia Wushen did not know, otherwise he would definitely have cried foul.

Sensing Nan Wujiang's intense jealousy, Zhang Jing smiled and said, "Don't talk nonsense. I don't know where their carriers came from, but I obtained mine through great hardship. I almost lost my life for these two carriers!"

Chen Henian and the others said in unison, "Indeed, I also went through a lot of trouble and almost lost my life."

Ji Ling silently rolled her eyes and remained silent. What a bunch of hypocrites!

At this moment, Nan Wujiang put his mask back on and said quietly, "Now you can let me go, right? Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about your affairs."

He silently added in his mind, "Because it won't be long before you expose yourselves."

Zhang Jing and the others exchanged glances and laughed, "We're all on the same side, of course we can."

"..."

Before leaving, Nan Wujiang glanced at Su Yu and said, "You... take care of yourself."

After saying that, the person disappeared.

Next, Zhang Jing and the others prepared to leave.

Looking at Su Yu, Zhang Jing sighed and said, "Why don't you change your identity again?"

Su Yu: "Uh..."

Lin Xian's identity can no longer be used. So many people from the Hunter's Pavilion died, and he is still unharmed, which is very unreasonable. If he appears, it will be very dangerous. Zhang Jing and the others cannot keep taking action.

"Alright," Su Yu decided to stop impersonating others for the time being; it was time for Xuan Jiu to show his face.

“Okay,” Zhang Jing and the others nodded and left, leaving Su Yu alone in the room.

Su Yu was about to leave when he stopped in his tracks. Something was wrong; they didn't seem to have cleaned up the battlefield yet!

Su Yu's eyes darted around, and he chuckled, "Those are all mine!"

the other side.

Just as Zhang Jing and his companions were about to return to the Great Xuan Mansion, they were suddenly stopped.

Halfway there, Huang Jiu appeared.

"From the Hunter's Pavilion?"

Zhang Jing and his group stopped, their attitude casual and indifferent, showing no concern whatsoever for the person who had suddenly appeared before them, displaying a strong sense of confidence.

That makes sense, though. Any one of them alone could rival Invincible, let alone the fact that there are five of them now.

On the contrary, they now wish the person in front of them was invincible. They also wanted to kill an invincible person before they could prove their Dao. One person might be able to handle it, but five people would definitely be no problem.

Of course, this refers to the low-level Eternal Realm; the mid-level Eternal Realm of a small race can also be considered.

At this moment, Yun Jie spoke up.

"it's me."

Zhang Jing and the others were shocked. That voice... it sounded so familiar, but they weren't sure. Everyone knew that Yun Jie was currently in the Battlefield of the Heavens, how could he possibly be...?

"Lord!"

While Zhang Jing and the others were still pondering, Ji Ling called out without hesitation. Among them, she had followed Yun Jie the longest and knew him the best. He was the man she couldn't forget, the man she longed for but couldn't have.

Yun Jie said calmly, "Yes, it's me."

As he spoke, he took off his mask.

"Your Majesty! It really is you! How could you..."

Now that it was confirmed, Zhang Jing and the others looked surprised.

"I have returned secretly this time, and the outside world does not know about it. You should not make a fuss about it, and everything should remain the same."

"But now that you're back, what about the Lord of the Manor and the others?"

"It's alright, I've already made all the arrangements," Yun Jie waved his hand casually and said, "As for you, isn't it time for you to prove yourselves? You've been hiding things from each other all these years, but now you don't need to hide them anymore."

Yun Jie smiled and said, “Go back and tell the others that anyone who wants to prove the Dao and is capable of doing so should go and prove the Dao! You can head to the Battlefield of the Heavens now! But keep a low profile and wait for the right opportunity. When the myriad races are too busy to pay attention to you, take the chance to prove the Dao. It’s time for the Great Xuan Palace to make a big splash.”

"As for you guys, you can prove your Dao in the Human Realm. Go to Nan Yuan. The ruins there haven't fully erupted yet, and the spiritual energy there will be enough for you to prove your Dao. The Human Realm can also support your Dao-proving."

Although this fake ruin doesn't have the light of enlightenment, it does in the human realm!

It's not that one cannot attain enlightenment in the Human Realm. As mentioned before, it's because of insufficient vital energy that people are unwilling to attain enlightenment in the Human Realm. But this time, Yun Jie has brought out so many good things, especially so much vital energy, so it's not unreasonable for a few people to attain enlightenment, right?

Besides, Zhang Jing and the others wouldn't need that much spiritual energy. Nan Wujiang and Yun Chen could benefit from it and take the opportunity to prove their Dao.

Therefore, even if Yun Jie doesn't come back this time, nothing major will happen in the Human Realm.

As for the Hunter's Pavilion, Zhu Tianfang returned to the human realm, while Zhou Tianyuan and Xia Wudi remained in the Battlefield of the Heavens.

As for Wan Tiansheng, there's no rush. Although Yun Jie can take him on a journey through the River of Time, the power of rules currently shrouding the battlefield of the heavens is still very strong. If Yun Jie were to take Wan Tiansheng to clear a path now, the power of rules would be enough to kill him.

In the original work, Su Yu consumed so much power of rules, yet when Wan Tiansheng finally succeeded in opening the path, the power of rules that descended still reached the power of the sixth stage of the Eternal Realm. Now, Yun Jie is estimated to have power close to that of the Dao Integration Realm.

Putting aside everything else, just that time at Xingyu Mansion, Yunxiao violated the rules and was punished by the power of the rules. In the end, it was only with the help of several Dao Integration experts and dozens of councilor orders that the rules were stopped. Otherwise, Yunxiao would have died under the power of the rules.

Moreover, Wan Tiansheng's strength has not yet reached its peak. His current combat power, when he goes all out, is only comparable to the third stage of the Eternal Realm. Although it is already very good, it is not enough. He can continue to improve. When his strength stops, he will be able to open the path.

Zhang Jing and the others were stunned when they heard this. They could now prove their Dao?

They were confident of achieving enlightenment earlier, but Yun Jie had been suppressing them and hadn't given them the chance. Now it seems... they can do it again.

"What? You're all unhappy that you can now prove your Dao? Why are you all so quiet?"

Zhang Yu said with a grin, "Hehe, no, I was just suddenly surprised by this news."

“Yes,” Yun Jie nodded, “We suppressed you before because the time wasn’t right. Now, the timing is just right.”

Yun Jie silently added in his mind, "If I don't prove my Dao now, it will be useless later. Proving my Dao sooner will make me look more impressive. Otherwise, after the Starry Sky Mansion incident is over, Eternity will really be worthless!"

Excitement gleamed in their eyes. "Then we'll go back and inform the others! Hahaha, Your Majesty, do you think the others will be frightened this time?"

Chen Ping immediately said, "That goes without saying! Let me count, besides the five of us, how many are there again?"

Zhang Yu shook his head, his eyes strange. "I don't know. Everyone likes to keep things to themselves. Aren't you guys the same?"

"As if you're not the same person!"

Then Chen Henian continued, "We don't know, but His Majesty certainly does. Your Majesty, can you tell us now?"

Others also looked over curiously.

Yun Jie smiled faintly and said, "Of course it's possible. Apart from you few, there are more than ten others. It's not too many, after all, the capacity is limited. If it weren't for my own savings, plus Yun Chen and his sister sweeping through the Starry Sky Mansion twice, I really wouldn't have that many capacity for you."

Regarding the number of people, Yun Jie was not lying. Including Zhang Jing and the other five, there were a total of twenty people, not counting Yun Chen and his sister.

But as for the carrier... he really doesn't lack it, but there's no need to take out so many. For the Eternal Realm, enough is enough, and having more is meaningless, since he doesn't ultimately rely on Eternity to win.

To be honest, if it weren't for Zhang Jing and the others following him for so long, Yun Jie wouldn't have planned to let so many people prove their Dao. It wouldn't matter after the myriad realms were pacified.

Because if all twenty people successfully attain enlightenment this time, and their family is included, then the Great Xuan Mansion will have 24 invincible individuals!

With such strength, aren't the myriad races afraid? What will the other invincible human races think?

Therefore, if things go wrong, the Great Xuan Mansion could become the target of everyone's criticism!

Therefore, Yun Jie decided that this time he would completely traumatize all the races, make them hesitant to act, and make them question their existence!

Before they figure out the true nature of the human race, even if they are wary of the Great Xuan Palace and the human race, they will not dare to act rashly!
