The Real Plot: Killing with a Borrowed Knife

What truly puzzled Hua Sanniang was...

Why did Lü Xiaochuan return after leaving?

Within the Sin Domain, the eyes and ears of the Living King of Hell are everywhere. Now that he has returned to the Desire Sin Valley, he faces fraught with danger.

Although it's a concern.

But Hua Sanniang retorted sharply, "Since you had the ability to break through my restrictions and escape from the underground palace, why did you come back and risk your life again?"

"Valley Master, I've come to take you with me."

Why should I leave?

"Your men know you once took me in, but they might not be entirely reliable. I worry that the Living King of Hell will eventually find out. Besides, I can take you with me to find Ding Erliang. The fact that you saved me with just a token shows that you still care about him. He wronged you and has been living a muddled life ever since, while you can't forget him. You two should settle things about what happened back then. Whatever the outcome, it's better than torturing each other."

"Enough!"

Hua Sanniang's tone became more serious. "I kindly saved you out of respect for your stature. You managed to steal the treasure from the Living King of Hell, you slapped him in the face, you accomplished something I couldn't do, that's all."

"But..."

"There are no 'buts'. I won't leave the Sin Domain, much less see the person you mentioned. You should leave now. I trust my subordinates, but your staying in the Desire Sin Valley is what will truly implicate me."

Hua Sanniang's tone was resolute.

Lü Xiaochuan also knew that he probably couldn't persuade her.

Therefore, we were prepared in advance.

He took a step forward.

Hua Sanniang immediately unleashed her Saint Emperor aura, defensively saying, "Don't even think about using unorthodox methods to bewitch me and then take me Desire Sin Valley. I, Hua Sanniang, have been in the Sin Domain for many years; you are not yet skilled enough. Leave at once, or don't blame me for reporting to the Living King of Hell, and then you will be completely trapped."

"Hahahaha... Want to leave now? Not so easy. Not only him, but even you, Valley Master, can't leave."

A sinister laugh rang out.

A figure appeared before the two of them; it was none other than Shui Ziliu.

Hua Sanniang Niang frowned. Lü Xiaochuan could sneak in by his own skill, but that didn't mean everyone had the ability to bypass all her guards.

This only proves one point.

There is a traitor in the Desire Sin Valley.

Working together from the inside and outside!

Upon seeing the Shui Ziliu, both Hua Sanniang and Lü Xiaochuan quickly understood what was happening.

It seems that Chen Ning and his group were all deceived by this guy.

"Are you working for the Living King of Hell?"

Hua Sanniang asked calmly.

"Clever!"

Shui Ziliu exclaimed in admiration, "Since the Valley Master knows my background, then he should also know who the Heaven Thief Emperor desires."

"Lü Xiaochuan stole the treasure, and I rescued Lü Xiaochuan, both of which were disrespectful to him. It's perfectly reasonable for him to want both of our lives, but I don't understand why you were infiltrating that group of people?"

Hua Sanniang voiced her doubts.

Shui Ziliu laughed heartily, "First of all, Valley Master, you're mistaken. Heaven Thief Emperor not only wants you, but also one other person, Ding Erliang. Back then, the Lord wanted his life, but he escaped. Now that he's back, the Lord will naturally take his life as well."

Upon hearing this...

A barely perceptible flicker of panic crossed Hua Sanniang's eyes.

Lü Xiaochuan was also taken aback. Ding Erliang was also in the Sin Domain?

As for why he followed Chen Ning and his group...

Shui Ziliu laughed and said, "At first, we just wanted to find Lü Xiaochuan's whereabouts and retrieve the treasure through them. Moreover, Heaven Thief Emperor was not entirely sure that the Valley Master had rescued Lü Xiaochuan, so he wanted to try to find him through them. Otherwise, the Valley Master's underground palace is very ingenious, and it wouldn't be difficult to hide someone there."

"Things got interesting after I heard that Lü Xiaochuan wanted to steal the Pirate Emperor's Supreme-Grade Divine Artifact."

"I understand now, the Living King of Hell wants to use them to eliminate the Pirate Emperor..."

Hua Sanniang suddenly realized, but then said with some confusion, "But the strongest person in their group is only at the Saint Emperor Early Stage, he can't be a match for the Pirate Emperor."

"Valley Master, Brother Sui's strength is monstrous. Back on Wailing Island, it was he who killed the Pirate Emperor."

Lü Xiaochuan then added a sentence.

This immediately shocked Hua Sanniang: "The Pirate Emperor is dead?"

This was only a short time after the Pirate Emperor's fall, and the news had not yet reached the Desire Sin Valley.

That's why Hua Sanniang was so surprised.

Shui Ziliu said, "The Heaven Thief Emperor is different from those fools in becoming the leader of the Four Thief Emperor. The Emperor already knew Chen Ning's background. He is the husband of the Goddess of the Light God Clan and defeated the Divine Son of Kunlun. Such a person will surely be protected by powerful figures in the treacherous Sin Domain when he comes here. By eliminating the Pirate Emperor with such a person, we can reshuffle the Sin Domain."

"Using someone else to do the dirty work."

Hua Sanniang's expression grew cold. "What a clever scheme! But aren't you afraid he'll come after you?"

Shui Ziliu laughed, "What is there to fear? He has already left the Sin Domain. I heard it with my own ears, and the Heaven Thief Emperor's spies saw it with their own eyes. Give up, that kid won't come back to save you. Besides, once the Heaven Thief Emperor finds the treasure, and the Pirate Emperor's Boundless Divine Bottle is also in his hands, he can sit firmly on his throne and reorganize the major forces in the Sin Domain!"

The Shui Ziliu.

Then several figures appeared.

There were five people in total: four Saint King Late Stage and one Saint Emperor Early Stage.

Lü Xiaochuan's gaze turned serious, and he said with some guilt, "I'm sorry, I've dragged you into this again."

"There's no point in saying this now. You quickly hide in the underground palace; I'll hold them off!"

Hua Sanniang gave a cold shout and stood in front of Lü Xiaochuan.
