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

Half an hour later.

The group returned to the upper realm and then to Bamboo Mountain.

Before they could even settle into their seats, a loud voice suddenly rang out from outside the mountain: "Is Marquis Juzhu here?"

Inside the main hall.

The group exchanged glances, and then Marquis Juzhu slowly stood up and said, "Please wait a moment, everyone. I'll go take a look."

With that, Marquis Juzhu disappeared from the main hall.

Outside the mountains.

A demonic cultivator at the Dao Integration stage floated in the air, his aura contained within his body. Clearly, he knew the Iron-Eating Clan was not to be trifled with, and thus he kept a low profile.

Opposite him, a group of Iron-Eating Tribe members stared intently at him, ready to attack him if he dared to set foot on the bamboo mountain without permission.

The Demon Clan cultivator muttered to himself, "It's one thing for the Eternal Realm Iron-Eating Beasts to be staring at me, but what's with those Sun and Moon Realm and Mountain and Sea Realm Iron-Eating Clan members? Are they that stubborn? I wonder what kind of terrifying existence they're facing?"

Being stared at by a group of "ants," the Demon Clan Daoist couldn't help but feel annoyed. He was about to teach these little guys a lesson when a figure suddenly appeared, coldly looking at the Demon Clan Daoist and saying in a chilling tone, "You'd better put your mind to it, or I won't mind eating you."

As he spoke, the Giant Bamboo Marquis revealed a mouthful of sharp teeth, his eyes fierce, as if he might suddenly strike and kill at any moment.

Across from him, the Demon Clan Daoist felt a chill run down his spine, cold sweat pouring down his back. He knew that the Giant Bamboo Marquis was not joking with him; he was serious!

The demon cultivator involuntarily took a step back and said stiffly, "I don't know what you're talking about, Lord Giant Bamboo. I didn't have any thoughts just now."

"Heh." Marquis Juzhu sneered, "Alright, enough nonsense, just say it, what are you doing here? You'd better have a good reason, or you won't be leaving today."

The demon cultivator swallowed hard, trying to appear calm, and said, "Don't do anything rash. I'm here on orders. Several Heavenly Venerables asked me to ask you a question."

Marquis Juzhu's eyes flickered. "What did you say?"

"Several Celestial Venerables asked me to inquire whether your Iron-Eating Clan will participate in this All Races Conference. They also said that you..."

"What are you stammering about? Speak!" Marquis Juzhu glared at him.

"They said you'd better think it over carefully before you reply, and you'll have to bear the consequences if you make the wrong choice."

After saying that, the Demon Clan Daoist breathed a sigh of relief. Damn it, no wonder others didn't want to come, it's too damn dangerous!

Marquis Juzhu frowned, unsure whether to agree or not. Just then, Su Yu's voice rang in his ear: "Agree to him."

The next second, the Giant Bamboo Marquis's brows relaxed. He calmly looked at the Demon Clan's Dao Integration Clan and said, "Go back and tell them that the Iron-Eating Clan will participate on time. Now, you can get lost."

Upon hearing this, the Demon Clan's Dao Integration Realm cultivator felt as if he had been granted a pardon. Without looking back, he ran away at an incredible speed, probably the fastest he had ever run in his life.

"Tch, trash!"

Marquis Juzhu uttered a disdainful remark, then withdrew his gaze and turned back.

Inside the main hall.

Marquis Juzhu returned once again.

"I wonder what Emperor Yu thinks of this All Races Council? Does he intend to participate?" Marquis Juzhu asked directly as soon as he sat down.

He had intended to refuse, since they had just reached a cooperation agreement with the human race, and it would be a bit unreasonable for them to attend this Conference of All Races.

But Su Yu suddenly asked him to agree, clearly indicating that he had other plans.

Su Yu smiled and said, "I don't have any ideas for now. I'll just go and take a look and see how they plan to deal with the Prison King's faction. If it doesn't work out, I can give them some advice."

Marquis Juzhu nodded, understanding. This person intended to stir up trouble, but it was unclear how long this fire between the myriad races and the Prison King's lineage would burn, or how fiercely it would rage.

"Then...who of you will go?" Marquis Juzhu asked again.

After a moment's hesitation, Su Yu quickly said, "Just the four of us—Senior Sanyue, Senior Wenyi, and Lantian—will go."

First of all, someone from the Iron Eater Clan definitely needs to go, otherwise Su Yu and his group won't know the situation and something could easily go wrong.

Secondly, March's strength is a good guarantee. With March around, the myriad races will not dare to act rashly, which will reduce their risk of exposure.

Finally, Su Yu himself will definitely go. As for the people he takes with him, in addition to their own strength, we also need to see how well they can hide and disguise themselves.

Needless to say, Su Yu has no problem at all.

Following that, Wen Yi and Lan Tian's hiding and disguise skills were also first-rate. Even if they swaggered into the crowd, no one could recognize them.

The rest, apart from the Great Zhou King, are not suitable.

However, Su Yu did not want to bring the Great Zhou King. As he said before, he was not completely at ease with the Great Zhou King and needed to be on guard.

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement without any objection.

With the presence of two great celestial beings, Wen Yi and San Yue, and considering that Su Yu and Lan Tian are not weak and possess the power of a Heavenly King, even if they were to accidentally expose themselves in the human mountain, it wouldn't be difficult for them to escape unscathed.

Therefore, everyone felt at ease, and no one tried to persuade Su Yu not to put himself in danger.

Seeing that no one had any objections, Su Yu nodded, "Then let's do it this way. Without further ado, Sanyue, Wenyi, Lantian, get ready, we'll be leaving in a bit."

"Wait a moment."

At this moment, Zhou Tianqi suddenly spoke.

Everyone turned to look at him. Su Yu frowned slightly and asked in a calm tone, "Great Zhou King, what is it?"

Zhou Tianqi didn't mind Su Yu's tone and slowly said, "There is a problem that urgently needs to be solved."

Su Yu raised an eyebrow. "What's the problem? Just say it directly, don't beat around the bush."

Zhou Tianqi looked somewhat worried, "It's those old generals of the human race who remain in the upper realm. I'm afraid they'll take advantage of this All Races Council to cause trouble."

Su Yu's eyes flickered, and he slowly said, "You mean... Bai Zhan's side? They want to take this opportunity to unseal Bai Zhan?"

Zhou Tianqi said in a deep voice, "It's not impossible. After all, in their view, Bai Zhan is the only hope for the human race at present."

Beside him, Yun Jie's eyes flickered slightly. He had originally planned to tell Su Yu about this, but Zhou Tianqi had gotten there first.

Seeing this, Yun Jie decided not to speak, and it was enough for someone to remind Su Yu.

Over there, Su Yu chuckled and shook his head, "That's true. After all, they were the ones who supported Bai Zhan to his position, so it's normal for them to see him as their only hope."

As he spoke, he glanced at Marquis Dingjun with a meaningful look.

Marquis Dingjun quickly smiled apologetically, "Your Majesty, don't look at me. I didn't want to either. In the past, we had no other choice but to rely on Bai Zhan. What else could they do?"

Su Yu quickly looked away, his eyes turning cold, and said in a harsh voice, "It's understandable that they want to rescue Bai Zhan, and they can rescue him whenever they want, but not now. The war between the myriad races and the Prison King's lineage is imminent, and no one can interfere!"

Immediately afterward, Su Yu looked at Zhou Tianqi and said coldly, "Great King Zhou, listen to my command! I order you, from this moment on, no matter what method you use, whether it's revealing your strength or whatever, take your men and bring those old relics under control!"

"Remember, it's about control, not persuasion! Without my order, they are not allowed to make any moves, and they are absolutely not allowed to be released!"

Zhou Tianqi's face fell, and he said with difficulty, "This... is very difficult. Putting aside their strength, they are currently hiding in dangerous places, very vigilant. If there is any disturbance, I'm afraid..."

Noticing Su Yu's cold gaze, Zhou Tianqi explained, "I'm not trying to shirk responsibility, but I'm worried that their resistance might be too fierce and easily attract the attention of all races. No matter how strong I am alone, I can't suppress them silently. How about... Wen Yi comes with me? If that doesn't work, Lan Tian is also an option..."

When Zhou Tianqi spoke of Lan Tian, ​​he gritted his teeth. To be honest, he really didn't want to be with Lan Tian, ​​but in terms of strength and methods, besides Wen Yi, Lan Tian was the most suitable.

At the same time, Zhou Tianqi was secretly cursing in his heart. He was really impressed. This time, he had really shot himself in the foot. Su Yu was a bastard who didn't play by the rules.

And what's with all this talk about revealing strength? Revealing what strength? Honestly, he wasn't hiding his strength at all...

How can someone be wrongly accused for no reason? Sigh, it's all because of prejudice.

At this moment, Marquis Dingjun also spoke up to help Zhou Tianqi out of the predicament.

“Yu Huang, I think Zhou Tianqi’s words make sense. It would be difficult for him to take down Minshan and the others on his own. Even if he is hiding his strength and has the power of a Heavenly King, it probably won’t work.”

Hearing Marquis Dingjun speak up for him, Zhou Tianqi was initially pleased, but the next second, he glared angrily at Marquis Dingjun. "Can't you even speak properly? Why did you have to add that unnecessary last part!"

Marquis Dingjun ignored him and continued to say to Su Yu, "First of all, Marquis Minshan is a quasi-king, and he is currently with Marquis Tianyang, a top-tier Dao Integration cultivator. It will be very difficult to defeat them."

"Secondly, Huo Yunhou is also a top-tier Dao Integration expert. Especially since he is currently in the dangerous Divine Volcano, he can unleash the strength of a Quasi-King, making him very difficult to defeat."

"Finally, the Marquis of Zhennan and the Marquis of Dark Shadow are also quite powerful..."

Upon hearing this, everyone pondered for a moment. It seemed that the human race still possessed considerable remaining power in the Upper Realm. Apart from lacking a Celestial Venerable, they were comparable to any race other than the Immortal, God, and Demon races.

Zhou Tianqi nodded secretly. This Marquis of Dingjun finally hit the nail on the head. If he were to actually take control of those people, how much strength would he have to reveal to do so?

“Ahem,” Yun Jie suddenly coughed twice, “Well… we don’t need to worry about Marquis Minshan and Marquis Tianyang. They won’t make any rash moves. We just need to deal with the others.”

Everyone: ? ? ?

"Are these two your men?" Zhou Tianqi asked in surprise.

The others also looked at Yun Jie in surprise.

Yun Jie smiled and said, "I wouldn't say they're my people. I just saved their lives once, and then I casually made some arrangements."

Marquis Juzhu, April, May, and Marquis Dingjun looked at Yun Jie in surprise and asked, "Were you the mysterious person who saved Marquis Minshan and Marquis Tianyang back then?"

Yun Jie nodded. "It's me."

He glanced at Su Yu and the others and slowly said, "Back then, I woke up in the former residence of King Wen and came out once, mainly to look for King Wen and the others. I couldn't find them in the lower realm, so I came to the upper realm. As a result, I happened to run into Marquis Minshan and the others who were being besieged, so I rescued them on the spot."

"Later, because I couldn't find any trace of King Wen and the others, I returned to the ruins in disappointment, until Emperor Yu opened King Wen's former residence."

"..."

This explanation is barely acceptable, and now is not the time to delve into it.

Su Yu nodded, stroking his chin thoughtfully, and said, "So, in that case, we only need to deal with the Fire Cloud Marquis, the South Town Marquis, the Shadow Marquis, the Cloud Water Marquis, and the Heroic General. The strongest among them is only the Fire Cloud Marquis, who occupies a dangerous place..."

After thinking for a moment, Su Yu said, "Then how about this, Lan Tian, ​​Aunt Yun Ying, and King Da Ming, the three of you will act together with King Da Zhou. Make sure to capture Marquis Zhennan and the others. Be careful not to expose yourselves."

Su Yu abruptly changed the subject, saying coldly, "If they resist too fiercely, and the situation becomes untenable, you can kill them directly without showing any mercy!"

Finally, Su Yu looked at Zhou Tianqi and said calmly, "If anything goes wrong, King Zhou, you will bear full responsibility!"

Zhou Tianqi: "..."

"Yes."

After a few seconds of silence, Zhou Tianqi said with a helpless expression.
