The Zi, Shi, Ma, and other clans actually did not know who the mastermind was; they had also not been controlled by the mastermind but had been made use of only!
Everyone that the mastermind had sent was a black-robed man. Although they were all Demigods, no one could tell who they were!
These black-robed men had brought the famous weapons of the Buddha Thearch, Night Empress, Yin Thearch, and Xuan Thearch; telling the three clans that the Buddha Thearch had already perished and that they could attack the Yi Clan at will. They had also promised the three clans that if any clans tried to help the Yi Clan, they would definitely come to the three clans' assistance. Furthermore, they had guaranteed that after the Yi Clan was eliminated, they would help the three clans to become the new Nine Thearchs!
