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

Okay, that's certainly possible, but it still seems a bit far-fetched.

Yun Jie naturally couldn't explain these things to him, nor was there any need to.

After listening to Tianxing King's words, Yun Jie shook his head: "You have no grudge against me, but you have a grudge against the people of the world. Although I am not a righteous messenger or a saint, I cannot stand by and watch you and all of you. Look at what the world has become. People are suffering and corpses are everywhere!"

"Since you are in your positions but not doing your jobs, I don't mind finding people to replace you. Four-legged toads are hard to find, but two-legged people are everywhere."

After hearing this, Tianxing Wang and the others were completely dumbfounded.

They considered many possibilities, such as revenge or taking his place, but they never thought of this. At this moment, they had only one thought.

That's it?

Just because of this?

What is this? You say you're not a champion of justice? You clearly are!

Yun Jie glanced at them, fully aware of their thoughts. Was he a champion of justice? Was he a saint?

He knew that he wasn't.

Back then, when all races invaded the human realm, and later the human race resisted the other races, over the centuries, countless warriors died on the battlefields of the heavens. He could have saved more people and prevented their sacrifice, but he didn't. He just watched, and like the Great Zhou King, for the sake of the greater good, he ultimately chose to stand by and watch.

Therefore, he is definitely not a saint, and even whether he is a good person is questionable.

Of course, he was definitely a good person to those around him, but to the warriors who died on the battlefields of the heavens, that might not be the case.

Perhaps not everyone resented Yun Jie, but there were definitely some who did, and even if they didn't say it out loud, Yun Jie could still sense it.

This is one of the reasons why Yun Jie chose to keep a low profile after the final battle; only time can heal all wounds.

······

back to the front.

King Tianxing snapped out of his daze and looked at Yun Jie in disbelief, saying, "Are you kidding me? Just because of this?"

"Isn't that enough?" Yun Jie retorted.

"Not enough! How could that be enough!"

King Tianxing exclaimed, “This world is a dog-eat-dog world. What does it matter to me if they can’t survive? My Tianxing royal family is already a mere shell of its former self. If you want to settle scores, you should go to the Nine Departments! They are the ones who rule the world, what does it have to do with me! I refuse to accept this!”

Yun Jie looked at him and said calmly, "Don't worry, I will find them in a while. None of you will escape. Jiu Si is a parasite, and so are you. In fact, in my opinion, Jiu Si is better than you. You are the parasites, so even if someone has to die, you will die first."

Although the Nine Divisions have fallen into depravity, they were good before, especially sixty years ago when they rose up in rebellion against the royal family. Back then, their hearts were still red and their blood was still hot. However, as time passed and the ruins appeared, their blood gradually cooled, and they eventually became like the Tianxing royal family.

This is the so-called "dragon slayer becomes the dragon," and the Nine Divisions have become what they once despised, which is truly lamentable.

They may have their reasons, but those reasons are not an excuse for being perpetrators.

Just because you can't resist the powerful beings of ancient civilizations, does that mean you can choose to lie down, give up, and become an accomplice of those powerful beings?

Yun Jie disagrees with this point.

"Hahaha, ridiculous!"

King Tianxing seemed to have forgotten how terrifying Yun Jie was. He laughed loudly, "Back then, the Nine Divisions said the same thing, and what was the result? In the end, didn't they make the same choice as us? I believe you will too!"

"Perhaps you haven't met the powerful beings of ancient civilizations yet, and you don't know how terrifying they are. Once you come into contact with them, you will understand why we and Jiu Si made this choice!"

"Don't disbelieve me. Otherwise, you can go down and take a look. There's a ruin right below the palace. You can witness the terror of the ancient civilization's powerful figures, and then you'll understand us."

As he spoke, a glint flashed in Tianxing King's eyes, as if he were plotting something wicked.

Clearly, he intended to lure Yun Jie into the ruins, then use the Old Star King and the Thorn Rose to eliminate Yun Jie. His plan was undeniably brilliant, but unfortunately…

Yun Jie saw right through his little scheme and gave him no hope, plunging him into despair with a single sentence.

"If you're still counting on the thorn roses, you don't need to. I came to you after I dealt with them."

"What!?"

Tianxing Wang and his entourage exclaimed in surprise.

At that moment, they began to doubt their ears again, wondering if they had misheard or if the other person had said something wrong.

He's taken care of the thorny rose! ...

"Impossible! The Thorn Rose is invincible! Its strength was among the best even in ancient civilizations."

Upon hearing this, Yun Jie's lips curled up, his eyes filled with mockery. He looked at Tianxing King as if he were a fool. Thorn Rose was ranked among the top in the New Martial Era? How ignorant and narrow-minded!

I'm not afraid of being laughed at if I told anyone.

Let alone the New Martial Arts era, even now, excluding Yun Jie and the other five, Thorn Rose's strength wouldn't even make it into the top twenty, let alone the top thirty.

Chapter 620 Taking Them All Down [Seeking Guaranteed Monthly Tickets]

······

Lost in his own thoughts, Tianxing King didn't notice Yun Jie's expression at all; he remained immersed in his own world.

"I don't know where you learned of Lord Thorn's name, but since you know of it, you should be aware of its power!"

Tianxing King said fiercely, "If you don't dare, just say so. What do you mean by saying you've already dealt with them? Heh."

"I don't deny that you are powerful, but that's only relative to us, and that certainly doesn't include Lord Thorn!"

It's clear that Tianxingwang highly regards the Thorn Rose and has great confidence in it.

In fact, the Thorn Rose is indeed not weak, but it depends on who it is compared to. Su Yu or Lan Tian could easily defeat it, not to mention Yun Jie, who is many times stronger than Su Yu and Lan Tian.

In front of Yun Jie, Thorn Rose was someone who could be crushed with a single finger, so when Tian Xing Wang described how strong Thorn Rose was, he was completely unmoved.

Yes, how could an elephant know how 'strong' an ant is?

However, it was clear that the Heavenly Star King did not know what kind of being was standing in front of him; they were not even on the same level.

Of course, this refers to Yun Jie himself; if it's Yin Yue Yun Jie, it's not quite the same.

Even without considering the power of heaven and earth, his strength alone would certainly be enough to take down the Tianxing royal family, but the commotion would be considerable.

"It seems you've really been terrified by Thorn Rose and the others. What, do you really think they're the strongest in the world? If I told you that Thorn Rose's strength doesn't even rank in the top thirty, would you not believe me?"

"Oh, right, I meant the present, not including the New Martial Era. If it were the New Martial Era, Thorn Rose's strength would be no match for them. The New Martial Era has no shortage of Saints."

Yun Jie said calmly, seeing Tianxing King's nervous and frightened appearance, he didn't mind saying a few more words.

In addition, he wanted to let these people know that the ancient civilization's powerful figures, whom they had previously feared but relied on, were nothing in the face of true powerhouses.

Relying on others and fearing others can never compare to one's own strength or inner strength.

! ! ! !

Tianxing Wang and the others were horrified. This man spoke these words so calmly; they couldn't believe it, but their intuition told them that what he said was true...

hiss!

Everyone gasped, the chill reaching their very hearts; it was truly bone-chilling.

Is Lord Thorn really that weak? He's clearly very, very strong.

They've experienced it before!

Otherwise, why would they easily cooperate with Thorn Rose? Or rather, in most cases, they would listen to Thorn Rose instead.

After a while, King Tianxing said, "Even if what you say is true, Lord Thorn is not someone you can deal with!!"

Yes, even though Tianxing Wang secretly believed the ranking Yun Jie mentioned, he still didn't believe that he had already dealt with the Thorn Rose. Nowadays, absolutely no one could be a match for the powerhouses of the ancient civilization.

No, it should be said that no one will ever be a match for the powerful beings of ancient civilizations again.

It has to be said that people like Tianxing Wang, including those from Jiu Si, who have all come into contact with the new martial arts masters, have lost the courage to fight against them. In their hearts, no matter how hard they try, they will never be a match for the new martial arts masters, and they can only rely on them.

To put it more vividly, they were a group of veterans.

How about that? Isn't that a fitting description?

A group of veterans, just like the other veterans, were terrified and turned to the other side, becoming their lord. They really are too similar.

Therefore, when Yun Jie looked at them, it was as if he saw the Hundred Battles of yesteryear again.

I feel so sorry for them. At the same time, Yun Jie once again realized that weakness is the original sin.

"How pathetic, how lamentable." Yun Jie shook his head and immediately decided not to say anything more.

He took a step forward, and an invisible wave of energy spread out from beneath his feet, instantly sweeping across the surroundings.

boom!

In an instant, countless people were sent flying backward, crashing heavily against walls or the ground before losing consciousness.

Only a few slightly stronger individuals remained in place, such as the Heavenly Star King, several Thousand-Strike Warriors, and several Three-Yang Superpowers. Apart from them, no one else was standing.

Da da da!

The remaining Tianxing Kings and the others retreated one after another, their eyes filled with shock and fear. They had once again witnessed Yun Jie's strength, even though Yun Jie had not done anything.

A single cold snort had stunned over a thousand black-armored soldiers. Now, with just a light step, countless more had fainted. How could they possibly fight like this?

From beginning to end, the other side didn't even lift a finger, yet they lost 99% of their men—it's unbelievable.

This reminded them of how they felt when they first faced the thorny rose, the same helplessness, the same despair.

"Today, I will only punish the ringleaders; we'll deal with the rest later."

Yun Jie couldn't yet determine who deserved to die and who didn't. The only certainty was that Tianxing King did deserve to die. As for the others, they would have to wait until the situation was clarified before taking action, since he didn't kill just anyone.

Of course, if he didn't want trouble, he could just kill them all and be done with it. But then again, even if an investigation were to be conducted, it would be Lan Tian and his group's job, not Yun Jie's. So, he didn't care.

In addition, after dealing with the royal family and the Nine Departments, Yun Jie also plans to let Su Yu, Wan Tiansheng and Lan Tian temporarily take over the Tianxing Dynasty. As for whether they want to be the Tianxing King, that's up to them.

To be honest, Yun Jie doesn't think highly of the Human King's Path, or the Human Emperor's Path. It's not that it's weak, but rather that its requirements are too high and it has many limitations. Apart from its fast improvement speed, it is inferior to other Great Daos in many aspects.

However, this is just Yun Jie's opinion. After all, his pursuits are different, and the small Human Emperor Path naturally cannot satisfy him, nor will he take it seriously.

Let alone the Human Emperor's Path in a small world, even the Human Emperor's Path in a large world, it is no stronger than Yun Jie, and is far inferior.

······

"Only the ringleaders should be punished?"

Tianxing King and the others were stunned for a moment, but the next second, Tianxing King's expression changed drastically. The evil leader, wasn't that him?
