The Time Realm Rift entrusted Dao with Godhood, its aim the Devil Ancestor.
Crossroads Corner sent Jiang into the vortex, its aim Sui Yin.
Of the three Ancestors, only the Medicine Ancestor remained, impossible to guard against completely. After all, the only one He had exposed so far was Bei Huai.
And Bei Huai hid behind others as well, his true body still far away in the Sorrowful Emperor Realm. It was not that they did not want to target him; their whip simply could not reach that far.
At this point, Jinren's mission could be considered complete.
Build a plank road in the open, sneak through Chencang in secret.
Then cross Chencang again, and cross Chencang yet again...
Xu Xiaoshou had employed clever force in setting up this game. After all, brute force truly could not overpower the three Ancestors. He only wanted to keep them under watch.
Even if the outer layer was ultimately stripped away and the scheme exposed, the Devil Ancestor would face Kui Leihan, while Sui Yin would see Jiang Nayi.
One layer further down, if Dao Qiongchang's prediction came true, then Cao Erzhu would step up, and Jiang Nayi would reveal his identity as Jinmo.
The former was still a variable.
As for Jinmo, Xu Xiaoshou did not ask much of him. So long as he could spot one Bloodworld Pearl anomaly and make Sui Yin begin scheming, his mission would be complete.
If Jiang Nayi could still make Sui Yin suspect that the Devil Ancestor truly had colluded with Xu Xiaoshou, thereby deepening the rift in the alliance of the three Ancestors, then this chess piece would have died where it belonged.
Once he pried open a crack, Xu Xiaoshou had plenty of ways to make them suspect one another, widening that crack
