Revelation After Revelation
"Why didn't you bring up such a good idea sooner?"
"Because I still need an identity, a nominal leader's identity, so that I can negotiate with the other side."
Late at night, on a small island in Weiyang Lake in the Si Clan.
"I didn't expect you to actually come," Si Ming, his eyes turning fierce as he looked at Huang Yan not far away. "Aren't you afraid I'll capture you right now?"
"Your Profound Armor is damaged; if I want to escape, you can't stop me."
Si Ming clicked his tongue, his menacing expression vanishing. "Speak, what do you want to talk about? Are you willing to betray all the Demon Race in exchange for your dog's life?"
Huang Yan cut to the chase. "I want the array diagram you have that can be transferred to other worlds."
"You know that?" Si Ming, recalling the other party's identity as a member of the Remote Heaven Society, said with relief, "Then what will you offer in exchange?"
"Naturally, it's intelligence from the Remote Heaven Society."
"For example?"
"For example, Void Returning Great Grandmaster Yun Jinzang of your country, who is a member of the Remote Heaven Society."
Chapter 833 Frequent Important Items
Si Ming originally only wanted to gain the upper hand in the upcoming negotiations and use rhetoric to lure the Military God into revealing more information. However, he was also prepared to be seen through. After all, with the Military God's wisdom, it was impossible for him not to see through such a small trick. Unexpectedly, the other party not only took the bait but also revealed such a big revelation, catching him off guard.
"Hey, hey, hey, freedom of speech means that everyone must be responsible for their own words, not that you can just spout nonsense. You should know how much responsibility there is in slandering a Void Returning Great Grandmaster, right?"
Si Ming rambled on to calm himself down before asking the most crucial question, "Where's the evidence?"
"I actually managed to lead an army of hundreds of thousands of Demon Beast through the defense line. Even if these Demon Beasts are all strong and capable of traversing mountains and valleys, don't you find it incredible?" Huang Yan retorted.
"I heard that you used tens of thousands of Demon Beast as bait to attract the attention of the Russia garrison, thus gaining a time difference and successfully bypassing the most heavily guarded defense zone."
"At such a critical moment, it's strange that the defending troops were so easily lured away from their stronghold. The reason for this is not because my plan was particularly brilliant, but because there was an inside agent working on it, and this agent was of a very high rank, high enough to influence the judgment of others with a single word."
"Are you saying that this inside man is Great Grandmaster Yun Jinzang? Remote Heaven Society is in league with the Demon Race?"
Si Ming thought to himself, "As expected, Laozi didn't frame me back then; he just made a prediction in advance."
Huang Yan smiled and said, "The Remote Heaven Society's cooperation with the Demon Race is purely cooperative, and it only extends to the last war. There is indeed no involvement this time. Of course, this is based on the information I have. Whether there are other deals behind the scenes is unknown. I am using Yun Jinzang 'Remote Heaven Society as leverage to coerce him into cooperating with my plan and letting the Demon Beast army pass through the guarded area, or else it will be exposed to the world."
"He refused?"
He agreed.
"Then why did you reveal his identity to me?"
"Yes, why not?" Huang Yan asked matter-of-factly.
Faced with such blatant disregard, Si Ming could only give a thumbs-up and say, "Your shamelessness and lack of scruples are truly admirable."
"Only those with a thick skin and a ruthless heart can achieve great things." Huang Yan accepted this calmly.
"I don't think the Great Grandmaster is stupid. Why would he choose to believe you?"
"Because he had no other choice, and he couldn't keep me, he could only gamble on my credit."
"Clearly, the Great Grandmaster's judgment is poor."
Huang Yan laughed and said, "Because he thought that letting go of these hundreds of thousands of Demon Beast was insignificant and wouldn't affect the outcome of the war. In fact, that was indeed the case. But it would add a significant mark to my qualifications, making the Demon Race mark on me even more profound. Once everyone believes that I am a member of the Demon Race, no matter what I say, no one will believe me."
Si Ming nodded. Just like when a lot of rumors and slanders circulated, accusing Thunder King of being a member of the Remote Heaven Society Demon Race, colluding with the demon race, and being from Monster Race, no one believed them. This was because Xing Daozhuang had made outstanding contributions, which was like being gilded and given an aura of immunity. Such rumors could not shake him at all.
What Yun Jinzang hadn't expected was that Huang Yan would dismantle the bridge so quickly; he had barely stepped onto the bank before he was about to break it with his other foot.
"I do not believe that the Great Grandmaster is a member of the Remote Heaven Society," Si Ming said sternly.
"It's alright, as long as you've become suspicious, that's enough. If you don't want others to know, then don't do it in the first place. The Lord of Ten Thousand Weapons can't cover things up perfectly. You can only investigate carefully and you'll definitely find more compelling evidence."
"... This unconfirmed information is at most a deposit; it's not enough to exchange for the array diagram I have, unless you reveal all the information you know about the Remote Heaven Society."
"I don't know much either. I'm sure your Mohist School has already investigated. The Remote Heaven Society meets in a unique way, so they don't know each other's identities and can only observe each other from the details of their words and actions. I only confirmed that the Lord of Ten Thousand Weapons was one of us by chance."
Who else is there?
"The Barbarian King in the south is undoubtedly one of them. The savage aura emanating from him, even more so than that of the Demon Race, is so obvious that I reckon many people have guessed his identity."
Huang Yan was undoubtedly referring to the "Heavenly Lion King," the leader of the Southern Continent Barbarian Hu, the first Void Returning Great Grandmaster in the history of the Barbarian Race.
Si Ming suddenly realized why this person was able to advance to the Void Returning Refinement stage. Besides the reasons on the surface, using his identity with the Remote Heaven Society to obtain Higher Vehicle Cultivation Method was probably one of the reasons for his success.
"The most crucial question is, who is the leader of the Remote Heaven Society, 'Fushi Qingcang'?"
"I'm sorry, I know very little about him either. His whereabouts are very mysterious, and I haven't found anyone similar to him outside the community."
"Not the Lord of Ten Thousand Weapons or the Heavenly Lion King?"
"It's definitely not those two. I can guarantee that. Anyone whose identity has been exposed so far is not him. He has never made a move."
Si Ming pondered for a moment, then suddenly uttered a name: "Is it possible that it's the Holy Maiden Tu Wangyue?"
Why did you suspect her?
Now it was Huang Yan's turn to be surprised. He revealed a playful smile and said, "It seems that this person must also have some suspicious points that arouse suspicion. Heh, the waters of your Mohist School are truly deep."
Si Ming said irritably, "Stop talking nonsense, just tell me, is there anyone in the Remote Heaven Society who looks like her?"
