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

Before the 'uncle' could say anything more, Yun Jie quickly interrupted, "Sorry, I'm in a hurry, I have to go now, let's talk next time."

After saying that, Yun Jie left without looking back.

Well, this guy is so enthusiastic, it feels like I haven't spoken to him in ages.

Following the man's instructions, Yun Jie finally arrived at the Silver City Ancient Courtyard.

However, this is a school, and not just anyone can enter.

As darkness fell, Yun Jie glanced around and, taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, went to a corner and flipped himself into the ancient courtyard.

After searching for a while, Yun Jie finally found his target in the backyard of the ancient courtyard.

A man in his early fifties was practicing boxing in the yard. His fists were powerful and his arms were cracking, occasionally producing sonic booms.

Yun Jie looked closely, and vaguely, a terrifying tiger appeared behind the man.

Upon seeing this, Yun Jie's gaze sharpened. This was... a tiger's aura!

boom!!

The next moment, the man in the courtyard pounced on his prey like a tiger, stomping his legs hard on the floor. The hard stone slab on the ground shattered and flew out, then hit the wall.

Behind the wall was where Yun Jie was standing.

"Since you're here, why hide?"

Yuan Shuo gave a cold shout, his eyes fixed on the wall behind him.

Yun Jie leaped lightly into the courtyard.

Yun Jie was not surprised that Yuan Shuo was able to discover him, after all, he had not deliberately hidden himself, otherwise how could Yuan Shuo have discovered him?

Looking at Yun Jie, Yuan Shuo frowned and asked, "Who are you? Who sent you?"

He was certain that he was seeing this person for the first time; his appearance, build, and aura were all completely different from anyone he knew.

Yun Jie smiled slightly, making no attempt to hide anything, and said directly, "My name is Yun Jie."

Yuan Shuo was taken aback for a moment, then looked coldly at Yun Jie and said, "Yun Jie? Never heard of him. You're not from Silver Moon, are you? From the Central Region? From Yinghong Moon? What, is he so eager to take my life? Why doesn't he come in person?"

Yun Jie chuckled and said, "I think you've misunderstood. I'm not anyone's man and have nothing to do with any power. As for Ying Hongyue, whom you mentioned, he's not worthy of her."

"Besides, I'm not here to kill you."

Yuan Shuo raised an eyebrow. Who was this guy? How dare he say Ying Hongyue wasn't good enough for him? So arrogant?

In today's world, how many people would dare to say such a thing?

Are they members of the royal family or the Nine Departments?

Yuan Shuo pondered for a moment, then said in a cold tone, "If that's not the case, then you must have something you need my help with. If that's the case, please leave. I'm just a teacher now, I've retired from archaeology, and I'm not doing it anymore. You should find someone else."

Yuan Shuo assumed that Yun Jie had come to him to decipher ancient civilizations or explore ancient ruins, so he directly refused, making up all the reasons on the spot.

Yun Jie chuckled again, "No, no, no, you've misunderstood. Let me be frank, I came here to see your power. Yuan Shuo, known as the Five Animal King or Old Demon Yuan, is unmatched in the world with his Five Animal Techniques, suppressing the entire Silver Moon Martial World to the point of being unable to raise his head. Most martial artists live in your shadow, Old Demon Yuan. I must say, you do have some skills."

"Hahaha..." Yuan Shuo burst into laughter after hearing this, his smile somewhat sinister: "You've got some skills? Is that your assessment of me?"

Yuan Shuo's eyes grew colder and colder. He didn't know where this Yun Jie came from, but just that sentence had completely enraged him!

He, the mighty King of the Five Animals, was actually told to his face that he had some skill, in a condescending tone. Wasn't this a slap in the face?!

"Oh, you're angry... I think my assessment was quite fair."

Yun Jie smiled slightly.

Okay, he's deliberately provoking us now.

With Yuan Shuo's martial arts skills, he can indeed be considered a martial arts master in the world today. In particular, his Five Animal Breathing Technique runs through the entire story. Of course, Yun Jie has only read up to chapter 399, and he doesn't know what happens next.

With just the Five Animal Breathing Technique, Yuan Shuo's name alone is enough to make him famous for all time, not to mention that he later taught a disciple who was exceptionally talented.

Yuan Shuo said with a gloomy face, "Are you deliberately trying to provoke me?"

"Is there?"

"Heh, I get it. You want to fight me?" Yuan Shuo wasn't stupid; he quickly saw through Yun Jie's intentions.

The next moment, he looked coldly at Yun Jie, "Are you prepared to die if you fight me? If not, considering your young age, I might spare your life by crippling your own arms!"

"Hehe, Yuan the Devil is indeed Yuan the Devil." Yun Jie chuckled. The current Yuan Shuo is not the Yuan Shuo of 20 years later. At this moment, he is extremely ruthless!

"How dare you call me 'Old Demon Yuan'?!"

Yuan Shuo angrily said, "How dare a junior call me Old Demon Yuan to my face? This is outrageous!"

Yun Jie paused for a moment, then shook his head and chuckled, "Oh, slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue. You're only in your fifties, you don't need the word 'old' yet. Yuan Xiaomo is more like it."

His age is ten times that of Yuan Shuo, so he really shouldn't be called Old Devil Yuan.

However, this "Yuan Xiaomo" completely enraged Yuan Shuo.

"Boy, you are courting death!"

Unable to bear it any longer, Yuan Shuo charged towards Yun Jie in one swift motion.

Roar!

Faintly, the roar of a tiger could be heard. Behind Yuan Shuo, a tiger appeared and disappeared, majestic and awe-inspiring, its eyes filled with murderous intent, which was terrifying.

"Good timing!"

A hint of joy appeared on Yun Jie's face. What could be better than experiencing the power of a battle firsthand?

boom!!!

In an instant, their fists collided.

Da da da!

Yuan Shuo took a few steps back, but Yun Jie remained motionless.

In terms of realm, Yun Jie is a whole realm higher than Yuan Shuo, so there's no reason for him to lose, even if Yuan Shuo has the power to back him up!

With his 'Five Powers', Yuan Shuo might be able to rival those in the early or even mid-stages of the Dou Qian realm, but he would never be able to defeat those at the peak of the Dou Qian realm, since he is currently only at the peak of the Hundred Realms.

Yuan Shuo steadied himself, looked at Yun Jie, and a look of shock flashed in his eyes. Peak of the Thousand-Fighting Realm?

Something felt off. The other person was so young, and he couldn't sense any power or influence from him. Without power, how could he advance to the Thousand Rank?

Could it be... a newly emerging superpower? But aren't superpowered people's physical bodies very fragile? The opponent just used only the power of their physical body.

"Are you a martial artist or a superhuman?" Yuan Shuo asked.

"I'd say I could barely be considered a martial arts master," Yun Jie replied.

Yuan Shuo frowned. "Barely considered a martial arts master? What kind of answer is that?"

"Hmph, it is or it isn't, what do you mean by 'it is'!" Yuan Shuo said with dissatisfaction.

Yun Jie laughed and said, "You'll find out later."

Yun Jie didn't intend to explain. In any case, once he had a basic grasp of the Great Dao Universe, he would announce the new Dao cultivation method, and then everyone could cultivate it.

The more people cultivate and the stronger they become, the stronger the Great Dao and the universe will be, and the faster the world will recover.

Of course, even if it were to be released, it would be a simplified version, similar to the one Li Hao released, which is a cultivation method with 36 basic Dao meridians.

One basic cultivation method with 36 meridians is enough; as for the others, they are to discover and create them on their own.

"Again!"

Seeing this, Yuan Shuo stopped asking questions and launched another attack.

So what if he's at the peak of the Thousand Realms? If a martial arts competition is only about who has the higher cultivation level, then there's no point in competing. Who says the weak will always lose? Yuan Shuo doesn't believe that!

Yun Jie remained calm and composed, slightly shifting his body before striking out with his palm.

Yuan Shuo remained calm, instantly changing his fist into a palm and exchanging blows with Yun Jie. The next second, using the force, he transformed into a bird and flew towards the outside of the wall.

"..."

"Damn it! I forgot he's Yuan Xiaomo!"

Yun Jie cursed under his breath, then quickly caught up.

Knowing he couldn't win, how could Yuan Shuo possibly fight to the death?

Besides, there's no shame in him running away like this. It's because his opponent is a whole realm higher than him. If his opponent were only at the early or middle stage of the Douqian realm, he wouldn't run away. But his opponent is at the peak of the Douqian realm, so what's the point of fighting?

He transformed into a bird and swiftly leaped over the wall, as light as a swallow, darting between rooftops, with Yun Jie in hot pursuit behind him.

"Yuan Xiaomo, don't run away! I'm not going to kill you, it's just a friendly spar."

Without turning his head, Yuan Shuo shouted, "Want to spar? Catch up with me first!"

After saying that, he quickly ran out of the city.

He didn't believe Yun Jie's nonsense. He had only managed to escape when Yun Jie was off guard. If he stopped now, and the other party really tried to take his life, where would he go to seek justice?

Behind him, Yun Jie gave a wry smile, helpless, and could only continue chasing.

Run, huh? Let's see who can outrun whom!

While chasing, Yun Jie did not forget to observe Yuan Shuo. At this moment, Yuan Shuo used the Flying Bird Technique to its fullest extent, truly resembling a flying bird.

Internal strength, momentum, spirit, will, Dao...

Yun Jie observed and pondered silently, and gradually, his speed increased.

Hearing no sound behind him, Yuan Shuo turned around and was shocked. What the hell?!

Originally, Yuan Shuo was only slightly faster than Yun Jie by combining the Flying Bird Technique and the Spirit Ape Technique, but now when he turned around, he found that the other party's speed had increased dramatically!

"That's... momentum?"
