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

"As a direct descendant of King Wen, are you truly willing to let Su Yu become the new emperor of this era? Don't you want to take his place? With your strength, plus my luck, who can stop you in this era?"

The Heavenly Guardian, for some unknown reason, actually tricked Yun Jie into killing him.

Yun Jie looked at him calmly and said, "What? You want us to fight among ourselves? I'm sorry, I have no interest in the position of the new emperor. I aspire to be the Prince Wen. Let Su Yu take the throne."

"Really? You're not even a little bit tempted? Why don't you give it a try?"

On the other side, the Heavenly Marquis smiled and slowly approached Yun Jie. He didn't believe Wen Yi wouldn't be tempted. The throne of the emperor, the supreme throne of the emperor, could anyone refuse it?

Yun Jie looked puzzled. He had only wanted to tease the Heavenly Marquis, but he hadn't expected him to pull this stunt. But what was so appealing about this to him? If he wanted to become the ruler of the world, the emperor of the world, he would have done it long ago. Why wait until now?

In the void, the Heavenly Watcher approached Yun Jie step by step, his smile growing brighter and brighter, as if victory was already in his grasp.

Is he courting death?

Do not!

Once Yun Jie makes a move, he will run away immediately. He hasn't lived enough yet, so how could he bear to die?

He did this simply to cause a rift between Wen Yi and Su Yu. He knew that Su Yu had a freak named Lan Tian under his command, who could create countless clones and was omnipresent. He was probably watching this place from some corner right now.

Given Su Yu's suspicious nature, would he really trust Wen Yi to guard the passage alone?

Even if Su Yu doesn't suspect anything, what about the others? Would Lan Tian volunteer to keep an eye on things from the sidelines? Probably.

Therefore, as long as Wen Yi makes a move against him, this scene will be seen by Lan Tian, ​​and then Su Yu will naturally find out.

In this situation, can Su Yu and Wen Yi still live in peace?

Meanwhile, Jian Tianhou believed that Wen Yi also knew that Lan Tian was hiding nearby, but could he resist the temptation?

At this moment, the Heavenly Lord was gambling that Wen Yi would succumb to temptation and attack him.

When Wen Yi and Su Yu start fighting, no one will care about him. As long as he can hold out until the Upper Realm opens, he has a chance to survive. At that time, the sea will be wide enough for fish to leap and the sky will be high enough for birds to fly. He will never return to the Lower Realm.

Over there, Yun Jie watched with a smile as the Heavenly Assassin approached him, showing no intention of making a move. He knew perfectly well what the Heavenly Assassin was thinking.

At the same time, Yun Jie also knew that the Marquis of Jiantian would definitely stop and would not approach him. Although the Marquis of Jiantian was walking towards him now, the distance between the two was already far.

Judging from the way Jian Tianhou walks, even if he walks until tomorrow, he might not be able to reach him. Therefore, Yun Jie does not plan to make a move. He will just watch Jian Tianhou perform and let him get closer if he wants.

Guys, I'm taking the day off tomorrow. I'm letting you know in advance.

······

In the endless void.

A strange scene unfolded.

As Jian Tianhou cautiously approached Yun Jie, he was also prepared to flee at any moment.

He knew that "Wen Yi" was very strong without anyone telling him, but even the strongest has its limits. He was now a quasi-king, so he couldn't run away even if he wanted to.

And so, with a heart full of trepidation, the Heavenly Guardian slowly approached Yun Jie.

However, Yun Jie completely ignored him. Unless the Heavenly Marquis dared to run up to him, he was too lazy to make a move.

Finally, Yun Jie simply closed his eyes, ignoring the performance of the Heavenly Guardian without even glancing at it.

Over there, the Heavenly Watcher was so frustrated by Yun Jie's actions that he felt like vomiting blood. What was wrong with Wen Yi? Was he truly unmoved, or was he playing hard to get?

We can't get any closer.

The Heavenly Guardian frowned. He was now only three hundred li away from "Wenyi". If he got any closer, he might not be able to escape.

Three hundred li is the bottom line for the Heavenly Watcher. He is confident he can escape at this distance, but he is not so confident if he gets any closer.

Therefore, he stopped, looked at "Wenyi", hesitated and was very conflicted.

Why aren't you getting any closer?

Just then, Yun Jie opened his eyes again, a smile on his face.

Immediately afterwards, he stood up and stretched, but before he could even finish, Jian Tianhou ran away, running as fast as a startled bird, thinking that Yun Jie was about to attack him.

"Ah……"

Yun Jie chuckled and shook his head. "Cowardly."

At the same time, the Observer of Heaven, who had traveled hundreds of miles, noticed something was wrong. He turned around and his face instantly darkened.

Damn it! He's playing me!?

"Jiantian, why are you running so fast? Are you in a hurry to get home and collect the laundry?"

The sound was focused and transmitted to Jian Tianhou's ears, carrying a hint of teasing and a touch of mockery.

Collect the laundry? Forget about collecting your sister's clothes!

The Imperial Astronomer's face turned pale and then red. He muttered a curse under his breath, then left without looking back.

This trip was a huge loss for him; not only did he fail to achieve his goal, but he also made a fool of himself in front of the other party.

As Jian Tianhou disappeared into the darkness, the smile on Yun Jie's face gradually faded and finally disappeared.

······

Yuhuang Mansion, formerly known as Nanyuan City.

In the main hall, after a month, people from all sides gathered again.

The difference this time is that there are more people attending than last time. In addition to Marquis Dingjun, Marquis Huoyun, and General Yingwu, there are also Marquis Jufu and General Xuelan.

Half a day ago, Su Yu also released Marquis Giant Axe and General Xue Lan. After a brief "exchange," the two did not react excessively and stayed obediently in the main hall.

Of course, they had no choice but to behave themselves. The seals on their bodies had not yet been lifted. Apart from the Giant Axe Marquis, who could rival a typical Dao Integration Realm cultivator with his physical body, General Xue Lan could only rival a typical Eternal Realm cultivator. However, apart from a few Quasi-Kings, there was no shortage of top-tier Dao Integration Realm cultivators and third-tier Dao Integration Realm cultivators present. Therefore, what else could they do but behave themselves?

However, they did not panic. Instead, they observed curiously and occasionally communicated with Marquis Dingjun and the others through telepathy. Unfortunately, Marquis Dingjun and the others were also unaware of the situation. Like Marquis Jufu and the other two, this was their "first time" descending to the mortal realm.

Therefore, the two Marquis of Giant Axe could only learn some scattered information from Marquis Dingjun; otherwise, they were completely in the dark.

The ancient town guardians, including Hongmeng Old Turtle, Tianmie, and Yunxiao, were among the last to arrive. Others, including Yun Jie himself, Minghuang, Liuyue, Guhouhuang, and Shikong, had also arrived.

Upon arrival, everyone's eyes were drawn to the people in the main hall. When they saw Marquis Giant Axe and Marquis Dingjun, Emperor Ming and the others were all surprised. They thought that all the ancient humans from the upper realm had died out, but then they realized that there were still a few left.

However, it seems that most of them are dead, with only five left.

Since the Marquis of Zhennan and the others were not released, they only saw the five Marquises of Dingjun.

When they looked around again, they realized that a key figure was missing: Wen Yi.

Also, why are the town guards from the ancient town back? Aren't they going to check the passageway anymore?

However, they didn't say anything. They believed that Su Yu would arrange everything. Besides, not everyone was stupid. For example, the Emperor of Fate thought for a moment and guessed where Wen Yi was. He was probably guarding the passage. Only June and the Ancient Hou Emperor were a little confused.

soon.

The meeting began.

It's called a council, but it's really just about talking about things in the upper realm; there's nothing special about it.

But Emperor Ming and the others listened with great interest to these things, including Marquis Giant Axe and others, who were also unaware of them.

Only then did Huo Yunhou and the others realize that the turmoil in the Upper Realm was stirred up by this group of people in the Lower Realm. From the exposure of the Prison King's lineage to the Seven Heavenly Venerables sweeping through the Upper Realm, it was all because of them.

Half an hour later.

"That's basically the situation in the upper realm. What about the lower realm? Can anyone tell us?"

Above, Su Yu asked calmly.

Yun Jie sat motionless in his seat, showing no intention of speaking, as did Yun Chen.

Wan Tiansheng glanced at the two of them, somewhat helplessly, and then stood up. "Reporting to Emperor Yu, there is nothing unusual in the lower realm. The immortal, god, and demon races are all quiet, and there has been no change in the Netherworld. Everything is as usual."

After thinking for a moment, Su Yu asked, "How is the Immortal Clan doing now?"

Just like the last meeting, Dao Qi did not attend this one, or rather, no one notified him, just like the Primordial Giant King.

Wan Tiansheng: "The Immortal Clan is very quiet now. They are basically no longer active in the Battlefield of the Heavens. As for Dao Qi... he has never left the Immortal Realm."

Su Yu nodded. Judging from the current situation, the immortal race in the lower realm is indeed fine, but Dao Qi is always an unstable factor.

Thinking of this, Su Yu glanced at Yun Jie again, but ultimately said nothing.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he asked, "What about the ancient giants? Have they done anything unusual?"

Wan Tiansheng didn't quite understand what Su Yu meant, but he still replied, "No, apart from the Ancient Giant King participating in the war once before, this clan has not made any other moves. They are keeping a low profile... which is hard to understand."

Su Yu looked at Zhou Tianqi and said, "Great King Zhou, you said before that Bai Zhan had connections with the Primordial Giants?"

"It's not just a simple connection; it's more like a marriage alliance. They even secretly had a son. Cough cough, of course, I've only heard about it and can't be sure," Zhou Tianqi said quickly.

"Have you heard about it?" Su Yu gave him a half-smile, then looked at Marquis Dingjun and the others. "Have you heard about it?"

Marquis Dingjun quickly shook his head, indicating no, as did Marquis Huoyun and General Yingwu.

Su Yu looked at Zhou Tianqi again and found him sitting calmly in his seat, taking a sip of tea. He smiled and said calmly, "It's normal. Considering their strength and status, it's perfectly normal that Marquis Dingjun and the others haven't heard of it. This news only circulates among the highest levels, and only a few people know about it. However, they are all dead now. The reason I know about it is because Bingku told me."

The faces of Marquis Dingjun and his companions darkened. Their strength and status... well, in the last tide, they were indeed nothing special, and they weren't Bai Zhan's trusted confidants, so it was normal that they didn't know.

Yun Jie gave Zhou Tianqi a deep look, but did not delve any further.

He continued, "If that's the case, then how come I heard that during the Ninth Tide, the Primordial Giants were enemies of the Human Race?"

"Heh, it's just acting."

Needless to say, everyone guessed it.

"So, the Ancient Giants are up to something. They might be waiting for Bai Zhan to be unsealed. Also, what about Bai Zhan's son? I've never heard of him or seen him. Where did he go? How strong is he? And who was Bai Zhan's father?" Su Yu stroked his chin, asking more and more questions.

"Interesting, getting more and more interesting," Su Yu muttered to himself, then laughed.

"Great Zhou King, you have been to the Giant Realm. Did you see the Hundred-Battle wife and son?"

"Ahem, Your Majesty, you've misunderstood. I didn't enter the Giant Realm. I was communicating with them from outside the realm. I didn't dare go in, fearing they would ambush and kill me, and besides..." Zhou Tianqi hesitated.

"And what?" Su Yu frowned slightly, stammering, "Is he doing this on purpose?"

"Moreover, whenever I approach that place, I feel a faint sense of crisis that sends chills down my spine. Therefore, I suspect that there is probably some powerful expert hiding there." As he spoke, a hint of apprehension flashed in Zhou Tianqi's eyes.
