Turning Their Scheme Against Them

An hour later!

Inside the city, within a luxurious residence.

"Changqing, how could you share the array? This is the very foundation of your standing in the alliance." Lin Hu looked anxiously at Lin Changqing, who was leisurely drinking tea in the pavilion. "I'd wager that powers like the Three Pure Ones Temple and Hongtian City are up to no good. Once they obtain the array, they'll surely have other designs..."

"Calm down. I'm not even worried, so what are you panicking for?"

Lin Changqing glanced at Lin Hu and gave a light laugh. "I said before that you'd started to carry yourself like the head of a major power, yet you're still this impulsive. When trouble comes, stay calm. Panic will only lead to mistakes..."

"How am I supposed to stay calm at a time like this? The fire is already burning my eyebrows." Lin Hu smiled bitterly.

"It's not that serious!"

Lin Changqing waved a hand with a smile. "Of course I know what they're plotting. In fact, I know even more than you've guessed. They want to seize Mending Heaven Merit. If I'm not mistaken, once they obtain the array, they'll do everything in their power to mend the heavens. But before that, they'll kick me aside, then mend the heavens themselves and monopolize all the Mending Heaven Merit..."

"What is Mending Heaven Merit?"

Lin Hu froze, immediately grasping the heart of the matter as he asked solemnly.

"Completing the World Origin and perfecting the Heavenly Dao will earn the favor of the Heavenly Dao. Great fortune will gather upon you, and vast amounts of Mending Heaven Merit will descend. This is a great opportunity, a Great Creation—enough to make even true Saints green with envy."

Lin Changqing looked at Lin Hu and gave a light laugh.
