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

The Warrior's Way is a path of ninefold strength, with one hundred and eighty acupoints opened. Currently, he is cultivating the advanced version of the Lesser Heavenly Circuit Technique, the Greater Heavenly Circuit Technique. In terms of attack, he has the Greater Heavenly Circuit Sword Technique, and in terms of speed, he has the Lesser Heavenly Circuit Footwork. All his cultivation techniques and martial arts skills are perfectly matched.

Overall, their combat strength is more than enough to kill someone at the Wan Shi Realm, but it's hard to estimate how many levels of Yun Jie they can overcome, and there's no standard for measurement right now.

"It seems there's no way to improve in the short term; it's time to come out of seclusion."

Yun Jie murmured that in the past six months, with his help, Qin Guang had also successfully broken through to the Thousand Jun Realm. The speed of his improvement was not slow, but it was not fast either; it could only be described as average.

Immediately, Yun Jie found Qin Guang and said, "Brother, let's set off in the next couple of days."

The two had made an appointment some time ago, but at the time Yun Jie felt that there was still room for improvement in his strength, so it was actually Qin Guang who was waiting for him.

Qin Guang nodded. "Yes, I've been waiting for this day for a long time."

"What about the others? Should we take them with us or leave them here?" Yun Jie asked.

“Let’s stay here. None of us know what the situation is like outside. We’re likely to face a life-or-death situation if we go out. Wouldn’t taking them with us be putting them at risk? It’s safer for us to stay here.”

After some thought, Qin Guang made a decision.

Yun Jie wholeheartedly agreed with this decision. It was indeed not advisable for them to go out now, as there were bound to be many dangers outside, and he and Qin Guang could not guarantee their safety.

The two reached an agreement, and then Qin Guang began to gather everyone in the valley. Before long, everyone had gathered in the small square outside Qin Guang's house.

Qin Guang, with a serious expression, called out, "The main reason I called everyone here today is to tell you something."

"Yun Jie and I have decided to go out and investigate the situation. You will all stay here and continue as usual. Wu Zhong will lead you, and you will support and help each other. After we leave, you will have to rely on yourselves."

Wu Zhong is the "successor" that Qin Guang has been cultivating during this period. He has already broken through to the seventh level of the Kaiyuan realm and is not far from the eighth level.

"Brother Qin! Don't go!"

The crowd shouted in unison, and some people in the crowd choked up.

Since the start of the Battlefield of the Heavens, it was Qin Guang who led them and enabled them to survive until now. When Qin Guang suddenly said he was leaving, they were very reluctant to part with him and felt lost without their pillar. They tried to persuade him to stay.

"Everyone, stop talking, my mind is made up!"

Qin Guang quickly stopped the crowd, fearing that their words would shake his resolve.

Two days later, at the entrance of the valley, Yun Jie and Qin Guang carried their bags on their backs, with Wu Zhong and others who came to see them off behind them.

"Alright, you can all go back now. We've dropped you off here. After we leave, make sure you're careful not to go out unless absolutely necessary, and whatever you do, don't reveal your hiding place!"

Before leaving, Qin Guang gave everyone a long list of instructions and advice.

"Yes, we've all remembered, Brother Qin, Yun Jie, you must survive! Take care!!"

"Okay, let's go."

Yun Jie smiled and waved his hand, then quickly followed Qin Guang's pace.

Over seven days, the two traveled a thousand miles a day, sleeping at night and traveling during the day, enduring wind and rain, running and leaping between the mountains. During these days, Qin Guang avoided the alien tribes they encountered because he did not know Yun Jie's combat strength and in order to avoid any unforeseen complications. Yun Jie did not object, and finally, the two left the Tianshan Mountains.

Chapter 13 Tragic Scene, Rage, and Death!

······

On a desolate road, two figures walked along a muddy path.

As they walked, the two discovered that there were ruins everywhere, as well as some bloodstains. The bloodstains had long since dried, and it was impossible to tell whether they were human blood or animal blood.

But their hearts sank to the bottom. Although they couldn't be sure, they hadn't encountered a single person along the way, so they believed that it was very likely human blood...

This shows that the current situation of the human race is truly not optimistic.

After traveling for several days, Qin Guang said, "Let's take a rest."

Yun Jie nodded silently, found a relatively clean spot, took out some dry food and water, and began to eat by himself.

The two ate and chatted.

"Brother, how far are we from the city?"

"It's probably still a few hundred miles away!"

"Then we should be able to get there before tonight."

A few hundred miles is not far for them, and if they run at full speed, they can get there in about an hour.

But you can't just drive like that on the road, or you might accidentally bump into a powerful alien race.

After resting for a while, the two continued on their way, barely speaking except for exchanging glances. They were extremely cautious, becoming even more careful the closer they got to human cities.

Because cities are likely to be the places with the most foreign tribes.

Suddenly, Qin Guang spoke up: "We're almost at Yueshan City."

Yun Jie looked up and saw a city wall in the distance. It was blurry and not clear. It was still quite far away. After all, opening the eye aperture does not mean that you have a thousand-mile eye.

close!close!

The city is right in front of us!

But at this point, the two became even more cautious.

After disguising themselves, the two crawled forward, not daring to show themselves, intending to get closer and observe.

At this moment, the city wall was empty, without a single person in sight.

The two exchanged a glance. "Something's not right."

Either the city is deserted, everyone has died or run away.

Or, the people in the city are all controlled and kept in captivity.

For a moment, the two were caught in a dilemma, because either possibility meant danger.

Extremely dangerous!

If there were no alien races above the Sky Soaring Realm, Yun Jie could easily resolve the situation with a burst of energy, or at worst, escape. However, this would expose him to the eyes of all races.

Yun Jie felt that the gains did not outweigh the losses.

Moreover, Qin Guang has only recently entered the Thousand Jun Realm and is too weak.

If they encounter an enemy, Yun Jie will also need to take care of him.

After exchanging a glance, the two slowly retreated.

After retreating for dozens of miles, at a ravine, Yun Jie said, "Brother, it seems we need to reconsider."

"Yes."

Qin Guang's expression was solemn. He knew that it was not advisable to act rashly in the current situation, as they had no understanding of the situation inside the city.

After thinking for a long time, Qin Guang couldn't come up with any good ideas, all because he was too weak.

Just when he was at his wit's end, Yun Jie spoke up, "Brother, I have a way to infiltrate the city."

"What? Brother, you have a solution?" Qin Guang asked in surprise, appearing somewhat excited.

"Ahem, don't get excited, let me finish. My method can only hide me right now, so I'll go in and gather intelligence, and you can meet me outside."

"no!"

Qin Guang refused without hesitation; how could he let Yun Jie go on the risk alone?

"Brother, you don't need to worry. I have ways to protect myself, and I'm confident in my ability to hide. Trust me!"

Yun Jie stared intently at Qin Guang with a determined look in his eyes, and patted his chest to show that he was very confident.

Actually, Yun Jie could bring Qin Guang with him, but he was afraid that if they were discovered, it wouldn't be difficult for him to leave alone, but it would be a different story with Qin Guang. So, he could only choose to tell a white lie.

After staring at each other for a long time, Qin Guang saw that Yun Jie's attitude was still very firm, and his heart softened. At the same time, he secretly hated himself for being useless.

Ultimately, the two reached an agreement: Yun Jie would enter the city alone to investigate for one day, but if Yun Jie did not emerge after one day, Qin Guang would force his way in, even at the cost of his life.

Qin Guang was afraid that Yun Jie might do something impulsive, so he had no choice but to say this.

Hearing this, Yun Jie couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. 'Although I know this is brotherhood, why does it feel so awkward...'

But soon, Yun Jie prepared himself, disguised himself again, and slowly approached the city.

With the divine script for the character "Zhou" operating at full power, Yun Jie was confident that he had no chance of being exposed beneath the mountains and seas.

Despite his confidence, Yun Jie still gripped the sword hilt tightly, ready to strike with all his might the moment someone spotted him, giving them no chance to speak.

The journey of several dozen miles took Yun Jie several hours. Qin Guang, watching from afar, secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Yun Jie sneak into the city gate successfully.

"I hope everything goes well for Yun Jie and that nothing bad happens to him."

Upon entering the city, Yun Jie quickly realized something was amiss.

He could faintly hear the cries of old people, women, and children.

"In that direction."

Listening intently, Yun Jie pinpointed the direction of the sound after a moment and quietly made his way towards the source of the crying.

Yun Jie walked very slowly. Twenty minutes later, Yun Jie approached a huge house.

"This is... a prison cell?"

The building in front of him looked very much like the prison cells in movies and TV dramas from Yun Jie's past life.

"So, everyone's been arrested? Is this some kind of captive breeding operation?"

Yun Jie thought to himself, "But this is a blessing in disguise. At least not everyone is still alive. As long as we're alive, there's still hope!"

"But what's going on over there? Why does it sound like...laughter?"

Yun Jie was puzzled. What was going on? How could things be so extreme? One person was crying, while the other was laughing!

Fortunately, Yun Jie still had plenty of time with Qin Guang, so he decided to go and see if the people over there had gone mad. How could they still be laughing at a time like this!

Next, he arrived at a large courtyard. Yun Jie's first impression of it was that it was magnificent and grand.
