How could he make He Zhiqiou take the fall?

Very simple.

He only needed to create the illusion that he had been defeated.

This place already contained every trace He Zhiqiou had left behind, so there was no need for any deliberate arrangement.

The only thing he needed was Incense and Fire Power.

To create the appearance that He Zhiqiou had defeated him and then ascended to the Incense and Fire Divine Cult, enough residual Incense and Fire Power had to be left behind.

Although Zhang Lingshan did not possess He Zhiqiou's method of using others as Human Candles and burning them for his own benefit—

He Zhiqiou had burned countless Divine Dew jade pendants, necklaces, and other items that Zhang Lingshan had given Zhang Zixin and the others as Human Candles.

And everything the Divine Dew sensed was likewise sensed by Zhang Lingshan.

Therefore—

Zhang Lingshan only needed to condense more Divine Dew jade pendants, scatter them throughout the entire hall, and have the Divine Dew burn in the same manner as when they had previously been used as Human Candles.

The difference was that the Incense and Fire Power produced by the Divine Dew's previous burning had gone to He Zhiqiou.

But the Incense and Fire Power produced now went to Zhang Lingshan.

It was equivalent to Zhang Lingshan supplying himself with Incense and Fire Power, worshipping himself, producing and consuming it himself.

Of course, this method was essentially cheating and could never serve as a medium for ascending to the Incense and Fire Divine Cult.

It was merely meant to pass off a fake as the real thing.

After scattering a large amount of Divine Dew and setting it ablaze, Zhang Lingshan immediately reversed the Formation Patterns within the hall and teleported back to the previous hall.
