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

Yun Jie stood on the shore and looked out to sea. At this moment, the sea was calm and the North Wind pirate ship had completely sunk, and there was no one on the sea.

He murmured, "They should all be dead by now."

After saying that, he turned and left.

······

Silvermoon Province is mostly an inland province, with only a small part connected to the Moon Sea. Along this sea line are four cities: White Moon City, South Crossing City, Fenghai City, and Flowing Cloud City.

Yun Jie had no idea which city he was approaching. He was going to Silver City, and he couldn't afford to be clueless. So, he needed to buy a map in a nearby city.

After a while, Yun Jie stopped in front of a city. He looked at the two large characters on the city wall and muttered, "Liuyun City".

The four cities of Baiyue, Nandu, Fenghai, and Liuyun have superpowered beings in the first two, while the latter two are ordinary cities where the local people are unaware of the existence of superpowered beings, just like the Silver City at the beginning.

There were no guards at the city gate, and Yun Jie walked straight in.

Inside the city, there was a considerable flow of people, and the streets were bustling with people and vehicles.

It's a coastal city after all, so it's normal for it to be crowded, especially now that superpowers are just beginning to recover. There aren't many pirates at sea, and the North Wind Pirates are one of the few.

However, as time goes by, the number of pirates will increase.

Suddenly, Yun Jie remembered something very important: he had no money…

Yes, he has no money.

He had never spent any money before, and with the world changed, he really couldn't remember for a while.

"What a blunder. There should be a lot of money on the ship..." Yun Jie was slightly lost in thought.

Without money, how could he buy a map?

Awkward, extremely awkward!

Silently, Yun Jie put down the map in his hand.

But... who says you have to buy it? Just take a look, isn't that enough?

Soon, Yun Jie chose to freeload and then set off again.

Liuyun City is located at the southeastern end of Yinyue Province, while Yincheng is located at the northernmost end of Yinyue Province and is also the city closest to Cangshan Mountain.

To reach the north of Silvermoon, one needs to cross the Hengduan Canyon, and the ruins of Zhantian City are located within the Hengduan Canyon, but Yun Jie currently has no interest in it.

"Yuan Shuo, are you in Yincheng now?" Yun Jie asked, gazing northwards.

When it comes to power, Yun Jie's first thought is naturally Yuan Shuo, then Hong Yitang of the Earth-Overturning Sword, and then the others.

Of course, Yun Jie could choose not to go to Silver City and go to White Moon City instead. Putting aside everything else, Hou Xiaochen, Zhao Shuguang, Huang Yu, and others would definitely be in White Moon City.

However, these people are not easy to deal with; they are all cunning and treacherous, and they would kill you at the slightest provocation. Yun Jie did not want to deal with them.

Of course, it wasn't fear, but worry—whether or not to kill them if they provoked him.

It would be a shame to kill them, but if I don't, they'll provoke me again. So, I might as well go to Yincheng to find Yuan Shuo, since he also wanted to go to Yincheng to take a look.

If Yuan Shuo wasn't around, he could settle for going to Hong Yitang instead. Given Hong Yitang's personality, he probably wouldn't refuse if he were allowed to show off his power.

Having made his decision, Yun Jie headed straight for Silver City.

······

At this moment.

King Wen, Su Yu, Lan Tian, ​​and Wan Tiansheng also traveled through the Silver Moon Province.

Since Yun Jie only mentioned Silvermoon Province without mentioning specific cities, they are now visiting one city at a time.

"Silver Moon doesn't seem any different."

"There are still some differences. The local customs are much more aggressive this time, and the atmosphere of the martial arts world is stronger than in other places. Most importantly, have you noticed that the energy of Silver Moon is much lower than in other places? It's as if that energy has disappeared into thin air."

“That’s right. Superhumans are springing up like mushrooms after rain in other provinces, especially in the central region, and there are quite a few in other northern provinces as well. But Silver Moon is the only one that is almost silent. Not only are there very few superhumans, but many places don’t even know that superhumans exist.”

King Wen said calmly, "It must be that someone in the dark has absorbed all the energy of the Silver Moon. You should have noticed that every time the energy is generated, it disappears the next second. Only a very small portion is not absorbed, but this portion is distributed throughout the Silver Moon region. As a result, the energy is even thinner, almost equivalent to nothing."

Wan Tiansheng said thoughtfully, "Perhaps this is why the Great Xuan King specifically mentioned the Silver Moon Province to us."

Lan Tian nodded, licked his lips, and smiled, "In short, there must be some big secret hidden in this place!"

Su Yu chuckled, “Things are getting interesting. Also, did you guys sense that there are several impressive auras in the city? Tell me, how come there are several people who have reached the limits of heaven and earth in this small Silver Moon, a Silver Moon with scarce energy, and they're all clustered together? What is their purpose in staying here? I'm really curious.”

After saying that, he looked at the blue sky, which said with a grin, "But the Great Xuan King told us to keep a low profile when we come out. Isn't it inappropriate for us to do this?"

Although Lan Tian said it wasn't good, he looked eager to try it, which was nothing like what he said.

Su Yu laughed and said, "It's alright. When a general is in the field, he may not obey orders. Besides, we are now members of the Eight Divisions of the Wind and Cloud Pavilion, so we have nothing to fear."

"King Wen, Chief Wan, what do you think?"

King Wen remained silent, but Wan Tiansheng spoke up, "What do you want?"

"Nothing much, we just want to see the 'strong' people in this world and spar with them. Isn't that what we came out here for?"

After listening, Wan Tiansheng stopped speaking and turned to look at King Wen.

After a moment of silence, King Wen nodded, "Very well, I also want to see the skills of the martial artists in this world."

······

Yes, Su Yu, Wen Wang, Wan Tiansheng, and Lan Tian are currently in Baiyue City, the largest city in Yinyue Province.

The presence they sensed belonged to Hou Xiaochen, Zhao Shuguang, and Director Zhou.

At this moment, Su Yu and his three companions split into two groups. Su Yu and Lan Tian were in the open, while Wen Wang and Wan Tiansheng were in the shadows, responsible for supporting Su Yu and Lan Tian.

They are not their true selves now, and their clones are only roughly created. They may not be able to match the people in the city lord's mansion. Therefore, it is better to leave two people to provide covert support.

This shows that they are quite cautious.

······

the other side.

After leaving Liuyun City, Yun Jie headed north, following the route he remembered. After half a day, he arrived at Hengduan Canyon.

At the edge of the canyon, Yun Jie paused briefly, looking down into the thick fog. At this moment, probably few people knew that there were ruins below, and that it was one of the famous eight major cities.

For Yun Jie, the most valuable part of the Zhantian City ruins, besides Zhantian City itself, is the two characters "Zhantian" on the city wall.

The name "Zhan Tian" allows us to glimpse the Blood Emperor, who is also known as the Zhan Tian Emperor.

Yun Jie was also very curious about the characters in High Martial Arts. He never thought he would meet them one day. It was truly amazing.

Of course, the fact that one first travels through all races and then through the Star Gate is already quite amazing. So, it doesn't seem so strange to connect the high martial arts world, the Star Gate, and all races in this way.

Finally, Yun Jie smiled, then jumped down into the valley.

The next second, he seemed to transform into a bird and take flight, or perhaps he transformed into a gentle breeze, his figure light and graceful as he swept across the canyon.

After passing through the canyon, Yun Jie continued to rush towards Silver City, and finally, before sunset, he arrived in Silver City.

This is a small town, much smaller than Liuyun City. The town has a strong sense of daily life, with people working at sunrise and resting at sunset at a slow pace.

However, Yun Jie saw more than just that.

He looked up at the sky, his eyes gleaming with divine light, his true form using his eyes to observe Silver City.

Above Silver City, a giant Bagua formation enveloped the city, with eight blood lines connecting to various locations.

As you can see, the eight blood lines still end in Silver City, which means that Ying Hongyue has not yet made a move, or is about to make a move.

“The Eight Great Families…” Yun Jie murmured.

At that moment, he thought of the folk song circulating in Silver City: "The Li family's sword, the Zhang family's knife, the Zhao family's fist, the Liu family's leg, the Zhou family's spear, the Hong family's hammer, the Wang family raised a big tortoise, and the Zheng family's young master dragged him down."

Although Yun Jie only had a part of the story from the beginning of the Star Gate in his mind, he knew that the bloodline of the Eight Great Families must have some secret, and this secret might be related to the Blood Emperor.

Walking down the street, Yun Jie smiled slightly and muttered to himself, "Will Ying Hongyue come in person next?"

Maybe not.

Yun Jie added a sentence in his mind.

According to the original work, the first incident involving the eight major families occurred five years later, in 1715. The first family to be involved was the Zheng family, followed by the Zhou family, the Hong family, the Wang family, the Liu family, the Zhao family, the Zhang family, and finally the Li family.

In other words, Ying Hongyue has five years to prepare, and the best time for him to make his move will be on a rainy day five years later.

"Heh, no rush. Ying Hongyue is probably hiding somewhere right now. Let's ignore him for now."

……

"Hello, how do I get to Yincheng Ancient Courtyard?"

On the way, Yun Jie suddenly stopped someone and asked him a question.

If Yuan Shuo is in Yincheng, then he is most likely in the Yincheng Ancient Courtyard.

"Are you from out of town?" the person who was stopped asked.

Yun Jie admitted, "Yes."

The man sized up Yun Jie and asked, "Judging from your age, are you here specifically to study?"

Yun Jie replied without changing his expression, "Yes."

His purpose in coming here was to see Yuan Shuo's influence; it wouldn't be wrong to say he was seeking knowledge.

The 'uncle' laughed and said, "Young man, you have a good eye. Our Yincheng Ancient Courtyard is famous. Here, just keep walking straight along this road. There's a crossroads ahead. Then turn right and go straight. Then turn left at the intersection... and you'll see the Ancient Courtyard."

After saying that, the 'uncle' swallowed hard. He had talked for a long time until his mouth was dry.

"Young man, did you remember that?"

"I've got it, thank you."

The middle-aged man remarked, "It's so good to be young. You remembered it after I only said it once."

"Hehe." Yun Jie smiled awkwardly but politely.

Young? Don't be ridiculous, I'm old enough to be your ancestor.
