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

shock!

The Marquis of Nanxi and his companions were stunned. How... how did he know?

Of course, there were also those who were unaware, such as Marquis Huoyun, General Yingwu, and Marquis Dingjun.

The rest, including Marquis of Nanxi, Marquis of Wushan, Marquis of Jianghai, Marquis of Zhennan, Marquis of Anying, Marquis of Yunshui, and General Wenqi, are all veterans of countless battles!

Of the ten people, seven are veterans of countless battles...

The entire room fell silent, and no one stepped forward.

Nanxi Hou and the others looked at each other, completely bewildered and puzzled. Had they been exposed?

But... that shouldn't be the case!

······

After waiting for a while, no one stepped forward.

At this moment, Su Yu grew impatient. He grinned, a chilling smile on his face. "Very well, you won't admit it, huh? Fine, I'll give you two choices now. First, open your mind sea and let us investigate. Second, die!"

Now that he had confirmed that there were seasoned veterans among them, Su Yu would not be polite to them. It was either open his mind sea or die; there was no other way.

In the face of death, what's wrong with letting others pry into your privacy? If they're unwilling, it only means they have something to hide!

Below, Marquis Nanxi and his group were somewhat disoriented. They had just come out and hadn't even exchanged a few words when they were faced with a choice between two options.

At the same time, they also realized why they felt uneasy; it all stemmed from the person in front of them.

"Sigh... Lord Su, what is the reason for this? What did the Hundred Battles King do to you? You seem to harbor a deep resentment towards him. Also, does it matter who among us is the Hundred Battles King's man? Aren't we all human? We are all of the same origin, why are we so eager to harm each other?"

Among them, the strongest, Marquis Nanxi, said with a frustrated expression.

He was truly baffled. What was this generation doing? It seemed like he had to drag them out before he would be satisfied. But why? Weren't they all human?

Su Yu looked at him with a smile, "So, Marquis Nanxi admits that he is a veteran of countless battles?"

Marquis Nanxi said in a deep voice, "As the ruler of the Ninth Tide, I am naturally his man. In the Ninth Tide, no one is not the man of the Hundred Battles King."

Marquis Nanxi answered, but it also seemed as if he didn't answer at all.

Su Yu sighed, "You're putting me in a difficult position. Wouldn't it be better to just admit it honestly? Forcing us to investigate will only make things worse for everyone. What do you think?"

Just then, Marquis Huoyun stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "From ancient times to the present, the only people I have ever served are King Yue, the Human Emperor, and the human race. As for the Hundred Battles... I am not familiar with them. If Lord Su does not believe me, you may kill me. But do not even think about probing my sea of ​​will. A scholar can be killed but not humiliated."

"Hehe, no rush." ​​Su Yu glanced at Huo Yunhou and said casually.

Immediately afterwards, he gave Lan Tian a wink, and Lan Tian understood immediately, leaping out and capturing General Wen Qi in one swift motion.

The Marquis of Nanxi and his companions were taken aback by the sudden turn of events and shouted, "Stop!"

Over there, Lan Tian, ​​holding Wen Qi, let out a sneer, "I've had my eye on you for a long time, so let's start with you."

After saying that, Lan Tian directly invaded Wen Qi's sea of ​​consciousness. Zhen Nan Hou and the others wanted to rush over, but they were easily suppressed by the others because they were sealed.

above.

Su Yu said calmly, "Seniors, please don't be in a hurry, everyone will get a share."

"You! Bastard! Is this how you treat your meritorious employees?"

Jiang Haihou loudly questioned Su Yu and the others.

Su Yu looked at him coldly, "Heroes? Where is your merit? I don't see it. All I know is that the Ninth Tide was destroyed by people like you, destroyed by Bai Zhan! You who deliberately lost deserve to die!"

Su Yu glanced at Huo Yunhou and said calmly, "Don't worry, investigate thoroughly. If it has little to do with Bai Zhan and you know nothing about the inside story of the Ninth Tide's defeat, I won't make things difficult for you. But if you know about it and were involved... hehe, none of you will escape."

"I've figured out Bai Zhan's plan. Preserving strength, huh? Fine, I'll make him a lone commander now. Once he's unsealed, I'll immediately lead my men to kill him. What about the myriad races, what about the Prison King's lineage? We can put them aside for now. Bai Zhan... heh."

At this moment, Su Yu looked at Marquis Nanxi and his group in the center of the hall with murderous intent.

Around the main hall, some people also harbored murderous intent towards Marquis Nanxi and his group. Almost all of them were humans from the lower realm.

If what Su Yu said is true, and Bai Zhan and his confidants deliberately lost the battle, then they are the culprits who made the Tenth Tide so difficult. Qin Guang and the others are people who rose from that era, and if we're talking about hatred, they hate more than Su Yu.

The enemy outside is indeed terrifying, but the one who is truly terrifying is our own people!

In an instant, murderous intent filled the air, and the atmosphere in the hall plummeted to freezing point. Apart from Wen Qi's screams and Lan Tian's eerie laughter, no one dared to utter a sound.

······

After a while.

Lantian slowly released his grip, and Wenqi instantly collapsed to the ground, his eyes glazed over, looking like a fool.

Having his memories forcibly invaded, Wen Qi's sea of ​​consciousness suffered severe damage, causing it to tremble continuously and leaving him unable to recover for a long time.

"Your Majesty, we have investigated thoroughly. Wen Qi knows very little, but one thing is certain: he is loyal to Bai Zhan. If Bai Zhan breaks the seal, he will immediately return to Bai Zhan's command."

In the center of the hall, Lan Tian bowed slightly, then blatantly lied through his teeth.

In fact, he found nothing in Wenqi's memory at all.

However, it's not surprising. In the last tide, Wen Qi was merely an Eternal being. His advancement to the Dao Integration Realm was a recent event. Therefore, what secrets could he possibly know?

But it doesn't matter. If there's no evidence, then we'll fabricate it. Lan Tian has already said so, so will Su Yu expose him? Obviously not.

One is one of our own, a fellow Daoist, while the other is an arrogant outsider. Who should we help? Is there even a question?

above.

Su Yu smiled. He knew that Lan Tian hadn't discovered anything, otherwise he wouldn't be in this situation now. He would have at least dragged Zhennan Hou into it, but he didn't.

Marquis Zhennan could no longer sit still. He hurriedly said, "Lord Su, this is absolutely slander! Wen Qi knows nothing, he..."

"Does the Marquis of Zhennan mean that my people are slandering your people?" Su Yu interrupted him forcefully. "You said Wen Qi knows nothing, so that means you know?"

Before the Marquis of Zhennan could speak, Su Yu shouted, "What are you all standing there for? Seize the Marquis of Zhennan! I, the Emperor, will personally examine his memories!"

Swish swish! !

Inside the main hall, everyone immediately took action. Even though the Marquis of Zhennan was currently in a sealed state and only possessed the strength of the Sun and Moon Realm, so what? Their actions represented their attitude, and at this moment, attitude was very important. Even the Marquis of Dingjun hesitated for a moment before finally making his move.

As expected, the Marquis of Zhennan was brought before Su Yu.

Su Yu slowly lowered his head, looked at the Marquis of Zhennan who was kneeling on the ground, and smiled, "Senior, is there anything you want to say now?"

Marquis Zhennan raised his head and said calmly, "Lord Su, why go to such lengths? King Baizhan is not your enemy, nor are we. We are all human, and everything we do is for the sake of humanity. By doing this, you are only letting all races and the Prison King's lineage benefit. Why bother?"

Su Yu looked at him calmly as well, "Whether Bai Zhan is my enemy or not is not for you to decide; I have my own judgment. Also, regarding your so-called 'for the sake of humanity,' I'm sorry, I haven't seen where your so-called 'for the sake of humanity' is."

"If you want to talk about your struggles in the Upper Realm all these years, then you don't need to. First, it wasn't caused by me, but by the so-called Hundred Battles King you speak of. Second, your struggles were for yourselves. If you didn't resist, you would die. Don't talk about it being for the sake of the human race in the Lower Realm, what a load of bull!"

"The reason the lower realm is in its current state is because of my grandfather and the Great Qin King, who fought their way out with swords, spears, and blades. What does it have to do with you? None!"

"Furthermore, the reason our tide is so difficult is because of you, because of the Hundred Battles! If you hadn't squandered the human race's resources, how could my Anping Era, after more than three hundred years, not have even a single Dao Integration Realm cultivator! You are more despicable, hateful, and deserving of death than our enemies!"

Su Yu's words expressed the sentiments of Qin Guang and the others, which greatly pleased them.

below.

Marquis Jiang Hai couldn't hold back any longer. He roared, "What do you know! You have no idea how much pain His Majesty went through when he made this decision! If we had been able to defeat all the races and the Prison King's lineage back then, we wouldn't be in this situation!"

"You know nothing, so what right do you have to question His Majesty's decision! If we hadn't made that choice back then, there probably wouldn't be a so-called Tenth Tide, and there wouldn't be any of you!"

Inside the main hall, after Jiang Haihou roared, the entire hall fell silent.

The silence wasn't because they were stunned by Jiang Haihou's words, but because Jiang Haihou had inadvertently confessed.

The crowd looked at them strangely. Well, they really didn't expect that someone would confess without being asked.

But it seems reasonable. Jiang Haihou was originally under the command of Dou Wang, and Bai Zhan was a descendant of Dou Wang. In addition, he later recognized Bai Zhan as his master. Now, he naturally would not allow anyone to slander Bai Zhan.

Normally, it might not have mattered, but judging from Su Yu's attitude, he was determined to find them. In that case, there was no point in hiding them, and they couldn't be hidden anyway.

Once the Marquis of Zhennan's memories are explored, not only will their affair be exposed, but it will also implicate others. In that case, it's better to just admit it openly.

clap clap clap...

A round of applause came from above.

Everyone looked up and saw Su Yu with a smile on his face. He walked down step by step and came to Jiang Haihou. He asked softly, "So, Jiang Haihou admits that he is a veteran of a hundred battles?"

Upon hearing this, Marquis Jianghai raised an eyebrow and said without fear, "So what if I admit it? Are you going to kill me? Don't forget, I am an ancient marquis personally appointed by the Human Emperor!"

“Yes, yes, I know that you were a Marquis appointed by the Human Emperor and that you shed blood for the human race,” Su Yu said with a smile. “However, what does that have to do with me? Was everything you did for me?”

"You...are unreasonable!"

Jiang Haihou turned his head away abruptly, no longer looking at Su Yu.

Su Yu smiled, not caring. He turned to the others and said calmly, "Anyone else? Step forward obediently. As Jiang Haihou said, do you think I can kill you? Stop struggling. Rather than having me forcibly probe your memories and drag you out one by one, it's better to admit it openly. It will benefit both of us."

Looking at the group, Su Yu spoke earnestly.

He had no choice. Don't think it's easy to forcibly probe the memories of someone who has reached the Dao realm. When Lan Tian was examining Wen Qi's memories, it took him a tremendous amount of effort, but he pretended to be nonchalant on the surface.

In fact, it really took him a lot of effort, and that was only because Wen Qi was only a fifth-level Dao Integration cultivator. If it were veteran generals like Zhennan Marquis or Jianghai Marquis, they would be either quasi-kings or top-level Dao Integration cultivators, making it much more difficult to forcibly probe their memories.

Just like the Western Queen Consort who was suppressed within the Civilization Records, Su Yu has yet to be able to peek into her memories. Why? It's simply because it's too difficult.

Therefore, it would be best if they obediently admitted it, saving time and effort.

There was a moment of silence, and the atmosphere became somewhat oppressive.

Immediately afterwards, Marquis Nanxi, Marquis Wushan, Marquis Anying, and Marquis Yunshui stepped out of the group one by one.

Including the Marquis of Zhennan, the Marquis of Jianghai, and Wen Qi, there are seven people in total.

The crowd looked at the two, Huoyun Hou and Yingwu General, who were still standing there somewhat alone, and then at Dingjun Hou, shaking their heads slightly. The three of them were so pitiful.

"Tsk tsk, how pitiful, the three of you know nothing," September said, shaking her head with a hint of pity in her eyes. "Luckily you've been lucky and persevered for so many years. Look at the others, they've all been tricked to death."

Even without September saying anything, the faces of Marquis Dingjun, Marquis Huoyun, and General Yingwu were already as black as the bottom of a pot. What others could think of, they could naturally think of as well. And just as September said, they were lucky enough, otherwise they wouldn't be standing here now, having witnessed such a "good show"!

“Don’t look at us like that, you lot. We did give you hints before, but you didn’t take the opportunity, so…” Jiang Haihou said with a hint of regret.
