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

······

Just as the battle was raging on Chaos Mountain.

Tianduan Gorge.

A group of people are watching the play intently. As the saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle."

Through the battle between the myriad races and the lineage of the Prison King, they were able to glean many things, such as the Gates of Hell belonging to the Prison King lineage, which they noticed.

This thing, which resembled a heavenly gate, drew everyone's attention and made them secretly marvel.

"Is that what they call the Gates of Hell? It looks even more powerful than the Gates of Heaven. Can the Gates of Heaven attack people?"

Everyone looked at Yun Jie and Su Yu with puzzled expressions, as they were the only two present who had opened the Heavenly Gate.

"No, the Heavenly Gate plays more of a supporting role. It is mainly used for observing the heavens and comprehending the Dao. It does not have direct attack capabilities. At most, it can enhance the strength of its owner through amplification," Yun Jie explained.

"Huh? So, the Gates of Heaven are really inferior to the Gates of Hell?"

Yun Jie smiled and said, "You can't say that. Your views are too one-sided."

"First of all, the Heavenly Gate can be opened anytime, anywhere, and the consumption is almost negligible. But as you have seen, the Hell Gate consumes a lot of resources. Even a Heavenly Venerable cannot keep it open for a long time."

"Secondly, to open the gates of hell, one might need to possess the bloodline of the King of Hell to cultivate. Of course, there might be other methods as well. I don't know the specifics, but there are definitely some restrictions."

"As for Tianmen, apart from requiring talent, there's not much else to it."

"In short, at present, each has its advantages and disadvantages. But for the strong, they will definitely choose the Heavenly Gate. Enlightenment is the most important thing. Compared with enlightenment, the attack power of the Hell Gate is just so-so. True strong people don't even care about it."

"Of course, this is just my personal opinion. Only those who control the Gates of Hell know what it is really like. Perhaps it has some hidden functions."

After listening, everyone nodded thoughtfully.

Indeed, in the long run, Tianmen is undoubtedly better.

At this moment, Su Yu said with a smile, "Alright, why bother with this? Anyway, you can't open either the Gate of Heaven or the Gate of Hell."

Everyone turned to look at Su Yu, staring at him expressionlessly, their hearts filled with resentment. Although what you said was true, it was still too hurtful to say it like that!

hateful!

aside.

Yun Jie glanced at everyone, smiled, and said nothing.

The usually cold and domineering Su Yu can be playful and childish at times.

However, this is all normal. No matter what, Su Yu is still just a twenty-year-old youth. No matter how mature he usually appears, it cannot change this fact.

Yun Jie was happy to see this happen.

Such a mature and sensible child is quite heartbreaking.

Just then, a discordant voice rang out, "Um...should we take this opportunity to rescue the King of a Hundred Battles?"

Swish swish!

Everyone turned their heads in unison, staring at Dingjun Hou with expressionless faces, their eyes gleaming with extreme danger.

The gazes of the crowd made Dingjun Hou feel uneasy, his mouth went dry, and he couldn't help but gulp.

"What, has Marquis Dingjun not given up on the idea of ​​two rulers coexisting? Does he think Emperor Yu can't win?" Lan Tian looked at Marquis Dingjun calmly, a dangerous glint in his eyes.

"No, no," Marquis Dingjun shook his head frantically, trying his best to defend himself. "I just think that the myriad races are currently busy dealing with the Prison King's lineage, and their guard over Baizhan might be a little lax, especially with the departure of the Six Heavenly Venerables. The Dao Source Land is now the weakest point in their defenses, and it is also the best time to unseal Baizhan."

Everyone looked at him with smiles, without saying a word.

Marquis Dingjun was utterly bewildered. Wasn't he just shooting himself in the foot?

Knowing full well that Lan Tian and the others had a lot of opinions about Bai Zhan, he still had to say something. He really made trouble for himself and wanted to slap himself.

But he had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue explaining, "Now that the human race is led by the Emperor Yu, they are naturally invincible. But now all the races are strong, and there is also the lineage of the Prison King causing trouble."

"Although Bai Zhan is a bit foolish, he is still very strong and a fierce general who charges into battle. With him around, we can at least hold off three or five beings of the same level. In addition, releasing him at this time can also attract the attention of all races and the Prison King lineage, giving us time to develop."

Stared at by a pack of "wolves," Marquis Dingjun had no choice but to change his tune. He first flattered Su Yu, then belittled Bai Zhan.

The phrase "a foolish hundred battles" has been used by Su Yu, Lan Tian, ​​and others more than once. He disagreed with it before, but now, in order to "save his life," he had no choice but to say it.

Su Yu looked at him with a smile, "Hmm, what Marquis Dingjun said makes sense. Then, I wonder what Marquis Dingjun thinks we should do to rescue King Baizhan?"

Lan Tian said quietly, "Yes, Marquis Dingjun is resourceful and experienced. Why don't you take command?"

In an instant, Marquis Dingjun broke out in a cold sweat, his back shivering. He forced himself to say, "Your subordinate dares not. Everything is up to the Emperor. Whether or not to rescue the foolish Baizhan is entirely up to the Emperor."

Good heavens, after the first time, Marquis Dingjun completely gave up and kept calling Bai Zhan a fool.

This time, Su Yu did not give an immediate reply; he was indeed seriously considering whether or not to rescue Bai Zhan.

Although Bai Zhan is foolish, he is indeed powerful. Using him to attract attention from all sides in the open is not a bad idea.

But it's really not wise for them to take action now. If they do, they'll inevitably be exposed.

Even if their true identity is not exposed, at least others will know that there is a third party in the Upper Realm.

Under such circumstances, would the myriad races still be able to determine a victor and fight to the death against the Prison King's lineage?

The answer is obvious: they certainly won't let a third party benefit from this.

They might even join forces to find Yun Jie and his group; they won't start a war until they find them.

Once they have finished sweeping through the upper realm and have not found Yun Jie and his group, they will inevitably turn their attention to the lower realm and place their suspicions on the human race.

With this in mind, Su Yu had made his decision. Bai Zhan could save him, but not now. Anyway, he wouldn't die anytime soon, so it didn't matter whether he was saved sooner or later.

Looking at everyone, Su Yu smiled and said, "Alright, everyone, there's no need to look at Marquis Dingjun like that. We're all on the same side. He meant well, so it's understandable."

After saying that, he looked at Marquis Dingjun and said, "A hundred battles can save us, but... not now. Let's talk about it when there's another opportunity. What do you think, Marquis Dingjun?"

"Everything is up to His Majesty the Emperor. I have no objections whatsoever." Marquis Dingjun looked embarrassed and dared not say anything more.

"What do you all think?" Su Yu asked, looking at the crowd.

"The Emperor's decision is final; we have no objections," the crowd replied.

"Okay, let's leave it at that for now."

As soon as the words were spoken, the broken wall returned to silence once more.

······

······

Just as everyone was talking.

Several fireworks exploded in succession within Chaos Mountain. Following the fall of the Netherworld, several more Dao Integration Realm cultivators were killed.

Although they scattered and ran away, some unlucky ones still fell victim to Dou Ke and You Zhen.

With one after another falling, there are not many ordinary Dao Integration cultivators left on the side of the myriad races. Originally there were fifteen, but now only six remain, the rest have all perished.

Dou Ke ignored these people. With You Zhen leading the eight men, their demise was only a matter of time. He set his sights on Marquis Dingjun.

They now need to find out whether Marquis Dingjun discovered them beforehand or whether he deliberately lured all the tribes here.

The best outcome would be that Marquis Dingjun did not discover them beforehand, and that he only brought the myriad races here to use the power of the ancient beasts to severely damage them.

What they need to do now is to capture Marquis Dingjun alive, and then search his memories to see if there is anything suspicious.

Meanwhile, "Marquis Dingjun" also spotted the flying dagger heading straight for him, and he was filled with despair.

He looked at Ye Xi, gritted his teeth, and said fiercely, "You forced me to do this!"

After saying that, he abandoned his defenses and hugged Ye Xi tightly.

"No!"

In an instant, Ye Xi realized Dingjun Hou's intentions, and he attacked Dingjun Hou frantically, letting out desperate screams.

However, with a loud bang, two fireworks rose into the air. Perhaps knowing that there was no hope of escape, "Marquis Dingjun" took Ye Xi with him and perished together before Dou Ke arrived.

Nearby, another Daoist who hadn't had time to escape was sent flying by the sudden explosion, his flesh and blood scattering across the void and crashing through countless mountains.

Damn it!

Dou Ke, who arrived late, cursed angrily. He hadn't expected "Marquis Dingjun" to be so decisive. Being captured alive by him wouldn't necessarily mean death, but "Marquis Dingjun" chose to self-destruct.

Dou Ke's expression became uncertain for a moment. Was there really a problem with "Marquis Dingjun"?

If the Marquis of Dingjun had left behind his essence blood, they could use it to investigate some information. But since Lan Tian was prepared to self-destruct, how could he possibly leave such a handle?

The moment he embraced Ye Xi, he burned all the blood in his body. Not only that, his Great Dao, physical body, and sea of ​​will all burned away, leaving nothing behind. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to kill Ye Xi so easily. After all, he was a third-level Dao Integration cultivator.

"Depend on!"

Dou Ke was frustrated, but it was too late to say anything now; even the title of "Marquis of Dingjun" had vanished without a trace.

Over there, Yue Hao's expression also darkened. His thoughts were the same as Dou Ke's: it would be best to capture Marquis Dingjun alive, or at the very least, to preserve his body to facilitate the examination of his memories. He hadn't expected...

"Yueqin, come here quickly! Let's join forces to take down Shanlinghou and Dou Ke. Go help Yuxi and Zishui, and quickly deal with Mingle and Youzhen. Take care of the rest of them as soon as possible. The reinforcements from all the races are coming soon! Hurry!"

Yuehao estimated that the support from all races would arrive at Chaos Mountain in thirty seconds.

He glanced at the horizon out of the corner of his eye; the six celestial beings were like six bright suns in the sky, clearly visible from afar.

The myriad races were quite decisive this time! They mobilized six Celestial Venerables at once!

Sighing inwardly, Yue Hao realized that they had exposed themselves a bit too early. The timing was wrong, and their resources were still inferior to those of the myriad races.

That damned Marquis of Dingjun!

Why did you choose to come to Chaos Mountain when there are so many dangerous places in the upper realm?

Yuehao dragged out the Marquis of Dingjun's corpse again to whip it, which was really infuriating.

But Yuehao didn't think much of it, and in the blink of an eye, Yueqin arrived.

With the combined power of the two Celestial Venerables, Flash Spirit Marquis was no match for them. After a few rounds, his physical body was directly shattered, and his sea of ​​consciousness floated in the air, trying to escape.

A black portal appeared on Yue Hao's forehead, from which a chain shot out, instantly binding Shan Linghou's sea of ​​consciousness and pulling him back.
