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

"Good timing!"

Hong Yitang let out a low shout, and his sword covered the sky and earth. A defensive circle with a diameter of five meters firmly enveloped him, like a large bowl turned upside down on the ground.

With a single sword strike, the world is turned upside down!

Well, it truly lives up to its name, the Earth-Covering Sword!

"it is good!"

Upon seeing this, the disciples couldn't help but cheer. This was their master—in a word, amazing!

A glint of light and pride appeared in the lady's eyes—it was her husband!

In the blink of an eye, the sword of wind and thunder clashed with the sword of defense, and Yun Jie, wielding his longsword, thrust it into the defensive circle.

clang clang...

A burst of sparks and lightning flashed, and the sound of swords clashing echoed throughout the arena.

As the two swords clashed, the speed at which Yun Jie's longsword shattered accelerated. With each collision, a fragment flew out, and in no time, the straight longsword became serrated.

Clang!

Suddenly, Yun Jie's longsword broke in two, the tip falling to the ground with a crisp sound. At the same time, Hong Yitang's sword was placed against Yun Jie's neck.

“You lost.” Hong Yitang said calmly, with admiration in his eyes.

"Yes, I lost."

Yun Jie silently withdrew the longsword, which was now only half intact, and at the same time, he gave Hong Yitang a deep look, which was somewhat meaningful.

In all my years, this is the first time someone has put a sword to my throat. Should I call it audacity, or ignorance absolves me of all guilt?

Poor Hong Yitang had no idea he had just escaped death. When Yun Jie announced his defeat, he sheathed his sword.

Fortunately, he quickly sheathed his sword, otherwise... Yun Jie would have hit him.

Let's leave aside what Yun Jie was thinking for now.

Hong Yitang looked Yun Jie up and down, and said with some surprise, "Goodness, you actually comprehended the power! You really startled me just now, but this is also a pleasant surprise, not bad, not bad."

Upon hearing Hong Yitang's "praise," Yun Jie shook his head and said modestly, "No, no, no, this is at most the rudimentary form of the power. I am still far from fully comprehending it, and I need to continue to work hard."

"Not arrogant or discouraged, that's really good." Hong Yitang nodded repeatedly and smiled, "Although it's only in its initial form, at least you've taken that crucial step. Next, you'll only need to spend a little time to fully comprehend this powerful wind and thunder force."

"I have to say, you are much better than me. At your age, I hadn't even grasped the concept of 'momentum' yet. Even now, my 'momentum' is still inferior to yours. Tsk tsk, genius, truly a genius."

Looking at Yun Jie, Hong Yitang didn't hold back his praise. Only Yun Jie silently rolled his eyes in his heart. Stop joking around. What are you pretending for in front of me? Everyone knows you. I'm too lazy to expose you.

······

clap clap.

"Wonderful, wonderful, absolutely wonderful."

At this moment, applause rang out, and the lady walked over with her disciples. Everyone smiled and praised her.

Yun Jie smiled slightly and said, "Not at all, it's always been the sect leader who's letting me win. Otherwise, I would have lost long ago. Thank you for your mercy, sect leader."

Before Hong Yitang could speak, his wife interjected, "You don't need to be modest. With your performance today, you are absolutely a prodigy in the eyes of your peers, and even the older generation. As far as I know, there are very few people who can match or surpass you."

Yun Jie smiled but didn't say anything.

The lady wanted to say something more, but Hong Yitang raised his hand to stop her, and she swallowed back the words she was about to say.

Hong Yitang looked at Yun Jie with a serious expression and asked earnestly, "Yun Jie, I'll ask you one more time, do you really want to join our Sword Sect?"

"While I would love for you to join us, I have to remind you of something."

"With your talent, you have more choices. No matter which faction you belong to, I believe no one can refuse your joining. Your future is destined to be that of a strong person. Joining the Sword Sect may not be the best choice for you. I hope you can think it through."

As soon as Hong Yitang finished speaking, his wife tugged at him anxiously and whispered, "Are you trying to kill yourself? Why are you saying all this!"

Hong Yitang said seriously, "This must be made clear. We can't delay them. Besides, if we don't make it clear now, we won't be able to stop them from leaving later. If they don't leave now, the probability of them leaving in the future will be much lower. Do you understand?"

The lady opened her mouth, wanting to refute, but in the end she didn't say anything. She knew that what Hong Yitang said was true, so now it was up to Yun Jie to make his own choice.

······

On the training ground, Hong Yitang, his wife, and a group of disciples watched Yun Jie quietly, waiting for Yun Jie to make his final decision.

To be honest, they also hoped that Yunjie would stay, but they still had to respect other people's choices.

Keeping them is naturally the best option, but if they don't stay, they shouldn't become enemies; at least there's still some friendship left.

Yun Jie glanced around, taking in everyone's expressions. He smiled and said, "I think... the Sword Sect is very suitable for me, so I have decided to join the Sword Sect and serve as an elder. I ask the sect leader for his permission."

Wow!

The mood brightened immediately; clearly, Yun Jie's answer had surprised them greatly.

Across from them, Hong Yitang and his wife laughed at the same time. After exchanging a glance, the couple said in unison, "Welcome to the Sword Sect, Elder Yun."

After saying that, Hong Yitang extended his right hand to Yun Jie, and Yun Jie extended his left hand in response. The two shook hands firmly, and then quickly let go.

"yeah!!"

Upon hearing that Yun Jie had joined, the disciples cheered excitedly. They were all young people under the age of twenty, and their joy and anger were easily seen on their faces.

Yun Jie's addition signifies that their Sword Sect has become even stronger. Before long, their Sword Sect will gain another Dou Qian, and a Dou Qian martial artist who has comprehended the power of wind and thunder. In Silver Moon, who would dare to underestimate their Sword Sect!

After their master's wife gives birth, she might be able to advance to the Douqian level. Although she hasn't comprehended the power yet, she's already powerful enough.

In this way, it's practically a done deal that their Sword Sect will have three members capable of fighting a thousand men.

How could they not be excited when they thought about this?

Even Hong Yitang was in a very good mood.

"Alright, alright, don't get excited yet. They're still recruiting disciples up ahead. You guys go ahead and do your work. We'll celebrate tonight."

"Elder Yun, what do you think?"

Hong Yitang interrupted his disciples' cheers and asked Yun Jie a question.

Yun Jie: "I think that's fine. Business is more important. You guys go and do your work."

Hong Yitang smiled slightly, turned to look at the disciples, and said, "Did you hear what Elder Yun said? You all go ahead and get busy."

"Yes, Master!"

"Master's wife, we'll get back to work now. See you tonight, Elder Yun."

After the disciples greeted each other, they all left. In the blink of an eye, only Yun Jie, Hong Yitang, and his wife remained in the large backyard.

"What are Elder Yun's plans next? Will he stay here or...?" the lady asked.

Yun Jie: "If it's convenient, I'll just stay here. I'm all alone anyway."

"Alright, I'll arrange a room for you. Please follow me."

As she spoke, the lady turned to Hong Yitang and asked, "Yitang, would you like to come along?"

Hong Yitang thought for a moment and nodded, "Then let's go together, so we don't not know where Elder Yun will stay later."

The entire Jianmen camp covers a considerable area, about five or six hundred acres, with numerous rooms. If he doesn't know the way, he'll have to ask for directions if he wants to find Yun Jie later, which is somewhat inconvenient.

Soon, the three of them left together.

······

Tianxing City.

Su Yu, Wan Tiansheng, and Lan Tian reunited.

"I heard my grandfather is going to take on a disciple?" Su Yu asked curiously. "Why would he suddenly take on a disciple? Is he just playing around, or has he really found a student he likes?"

Lan Tian said irritably, "How would I know? I only heard your grandfather mention it briefly. I didn't dare to ask for details. If you're really curious, you can ask him yourself."

"Never mind then, I won't ask. Let him collect it if he wants." Su Yu shook his head; he wasn't going to ask.

"How about we take one in too? One for each of us, and then we can have them compete to see who teaches the best," Su Yu suddenly suggested.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lan Tian's eyes lit up, his pupils darting around wildly. "Hey, that's a good suggestion! Lao Wan, what do you think?"

Lan Tian stopped calling Tian Sheng "brother" at this moment. He had seen through Su Yu and Wan Tian Sheng and would never love them again. Two scumbags, ptooey!

All he knows how to do is tell him to work; he can't do anything else!

Wan Tiansheng frowned, thought carefully for a moment, and said, "A disciple-acceptance competition? That sounds pretty good."

Back in the day, I was the dean of a prestigious university, so teaching a disciple was more than enough for me!

On the contrary, neither Su Yu nor Lan Tian had ever mentored disciples, so he was no worse than either of them. As for the Great Xuan King and the Wen King... it was hard to say; these two couldn't be judged by conventional standards.

······

However, with Su Yu and Lan Tian around, Wan Tiansheng didn't think he would be the one at the bottom.

He served as the dean of the Great Xia Civilization Academy for decades, and that wasn't for nothing. In terms of experience, he was miles ahead of Su Yu and Lan Tian.

Therefore, Wan Tiansheng's current idea is to strive for second place and secure third place. No matter what, he must maintain his third position. As for fourth and fifth place, let Su Yu and Lan Tian, ​​those two noobs, fight it out.

Having made up his mind, Wan Tiansheng immediately said, "I can agree to this competition, but it has to be with the Great Xuan King and the Wen King as well. I just don't know if they will agree."

Then, he looked at Su Yu and said, "It's more appropriate for you to bring this up, so you'll have to talk to the Great Xuan King and the Wen King about it."

If Yun Jie and Wen Wang don't participate, then Wan Tiansheng feels that this competition is meaningless. What's the point of beating Su Yu and Lan Tian, ​​two weaklings? There's no sense of accomplishment at all. Therefore, Yun Jie and Wen Wang must participate.

Su Yu and Lan Tian, ​​standing to the side, were unaware that Wan Tiansheng was making fun of them in his mind, even describing them as weaklings. If they had known, given their personalities, who knows what kind of trouble they would have caused.

“Yes, yes, Grandpa and the others will participate too,” Su Yu agreed.

······

At the same time.

Within the Great Dao and the Universe.

Su Yu himself briefly explained his thoughts to Yun Jie and King Wen.
