Zhao Gongming, Master of Schemes

Ying Yuan rode the Chaos Bead, carrying the unconscious Zhao Gongming, and landed directly on the Three Immortals Island.

Yun Xiao, Qiong Xiao, Bixiao were discussing the Dao on the island when they sensed the Chaos aura and looked up in unison.

"Ying Yuan?"

Yun Xiao frowned slightly, and when he saw Zhao Gongming, who was covered in blood, in Ying Yuan's arms, a rare flicker of emotion appeared on his usually cold face.

"Eldest sister! It's brother!" Bixiao exclaimed in surprise, transforming into a streak of light and rushing forward.

Qiong Xiao followed closely behind, her eyes filled with worry.

Ying Yuan gently placed Zhao Gongming on the jade platform beside the lotus pond in the center of the island, and the Chaos Bead returned to his body.

"He was injured by the Great Witch Xingtian and needs to recuperate."

Yun Xiao walked up to Ying Yuan, looking at him with a complicated expression. "Did you save my brother?"

"It's mainly because he's tough and resilient."

Ying Yuan was also surprised to find that Zhao Gongming's physical body was in no way inferior to that of the Witch Clan.

No wonder the opponent was ultimately cursed to death by Daoist Lu Ya's Nail Head Seven Arrows Book...

Yun Xiao remained silent for a moment, then suddenly bowed deeply. "Thank you Ying Yuan."

Ying Yuan appeared calm on the surface, but inwardly he was smug and pleased with himself.

He definitely boosted Yun Xiao's favorability this time!

"I've delivered the person. I still need to return to the Biyou Palace to report to my Shizun. Farewell."

Having said that, Ying Yuan didn't wait for the San Xiao' response. His figure flickered and disappeared into a ray of water.

Bixiao looked in the direction Ying Yuan had disappeared and muttered, "That Junior Brother Ying Yuan, he's so impatient even when saving people..."

While healing Zhao Gongming, Qiong Xiao said thoughtfully, "Elder sister, don't you think Ying Yuan's cultivation level is a bit off?"

The Chaos aura he exuded earlier, and the speed he displayed when rescuing Zhao Gongming, were far beyond the capabilities of Mysterious Immortal (a high-level immortal).

Yun Xiao nodded slightly. "He must have been hiding his cultivation level. To be able to save people from Xingtian and Guangchengzi, he must be at least Great Luo."

"Great Luo?!"

Bixiao widened.

"No wonder Shizun values him so much and even bestowed upon him the Chaos Bead."

Yun Xiao nodded slightly and began to speculate about Ying Yuan's true identity.

Could it be... that Ying Yuan is actually Shizun's illegitimate son?

Not long after, Zhao Gongming slowly woke up by the lotus pond.

"Brother is awake!" Bixiao's joyful voice rang out.

Zhao Gongming turned his head with difficulty and saw three concerned faces.

Yun Xiao, Qiong Xiao, and Bixiao stood guard nearby.

"Ying Yuan, he..." Zhao Gongming wanted to ask something, but didn't know where to begin.

"After Ying Yuan delivered you, he returned to the Biyou Palace to report back," Yun Xiao said calmly.

Zhao Gongming was filled with shame and indignation.

In the end, it was Ying Yuan who saved him!

He was supposed to be the top disciple of the outer Interception Sect, the teacher of the Heavenly Human Emperor, and Transmigrator destined to stir up a storm!

But reality dealt him a heavy blow.

Isn't he the main character...?

Could this be a primeval Prehistoric World?

Ying Yuan was the first minor boss he faced on his path to ruling the Interception Sect and conquering the Prehistoric World!

That's right, only this explanation makes sense.

This was all part of Ying Yuan's carefully laid plan!

He deliberately concealed his cultivation level and intentionally made his move at the crucial moment...

What's the purpose?

Naturally, it was to win the favor of the San Xiao, or even to covet his status as the eldest outer disciple of the Interception Sect.

Zhao Gongming was merely a pawn being used in this game.

This place is indeed a chaotic Prehistoric World of political intrigue!

What a shrewd and calculating person Ying Yuan is...

Fortunately, Zhao Gongming was also quite shrewd, having watched many political intrigue dramas before his transmigration.

Hmph, trying to outmaneuver him is simply courting death!

Zhao Gongming composed himself, then looked at the San Xiao with a guilty expression:

"Eldest sister... Second sister... Third sister... I have failed you all!"

Zhao Gongming was panting, his eyes revealing deep regret.

"It was my foolishness that led me to fall into the trap of a treacherous person, implicating Junior Brother Ying Yuan, and even... almost harming you all..."

"A villain?" Qiong Xiao keenly grasped the key point.

Zhao Gongming closed his eyes, as if he couldn't bear to recall, yet his voice clearly reached the ears of the San Xiao:

"That Chiyou ... is nothing but a barbarian; I, your brother, have a way to deal with him..."

"It's Guangchengzi of the Chan Sect!"

"Although I was at a disadvantage in my battle with Xingtian, I was still able to hold on."

"But that Guangchengzi, he suddenly launched a sneak attack on me and Junior Brother Ying Yuan, using the Heaven-Overturning Seal to kill us!"

Zhao Gongming immediately started playing the victim.

Although Guangchengzi only managed to hit Ying Yuan with the Heaven-Overturning Seal, if Ying Yuan hadn't stopped him, Zhao Gongming would have been killed by Xingtian as well.

So, if that's the case, then Guangchengzi betrayed him and Ying Yuan?

"What?!"

The San Xiao were shocked upon hearing this.

Attacking from behind is despicable enough, but to do so when it happens to Jie Sect Disciple, who also belongs to the Mystic Sect!

This is no longer a simple struggle, but an act bordering on heresy!

Zhao Gongming observed the three men's reactions and sneered inwardly.

Guangchengzi was no good person. He killed three Holy Mothers of the Interception Sect during the Measure Calamity of the Investiture of the Gods calamity, earning him the nickname "Holy Mother Killer".

If we can persuade the San Xiao of Sanxiao to join him in eliminating this threat beforehand, we can rid the Interception Sect of a major calamity!

Zhao Gongming feigned a pained expression:

"Ying Yuan used his most precious treasure, single-mindedly trying to stop Chiyou's army and protect the Human Race. How could he possibly guard against his fellow disciples?"

"That Guangchengzi must have been in cahoots with Chiyou long ago. He's purely jealous of our Interception Sect's involvement in the Human Emperor's affairs and wants to kill me and my junior brother Ying Yuan!"

"Guangchengzi... how dare he do this!" Bixiao's pretty face turned red with anger, and she gritted her teeth.

She was simple-minded and believed her brother's words without question.

At this moment, she had transferred some of her anger towards Chiyou to Guangchengzi had launched the despicable sneak attack.

Qiong Xiao's expression was solemn as she looked at Yun Xiao: "Elder sister, if what my brother said is true, then Guangchengzi's actions have truly crossed the line."

"Even if the Chan and Jie Sects have their disagreements, how can they openly and brutally kill their own disciples? Where does this leave the face of the Dao Ancestor? Where does it leave the friendship among the four sects?"

Yun Xiao did not speak immediately.

Her cool eyes were fixed on Zhao Gongming, as if judging the truthfulness of his words.

Zhao Gongming's heart was in his throat as he quietly activated the [God-Tier Charm] entry.

After a moment, Yun Xiao slowly spoke, his voice as cold as ice. "Guangchengzi... his ambush of a fellow disciple is despicable."

"This matter cannot be left unresolved."

"Once my elder brother's condition stabilizes, I must personally travel to the Yuxu Palace on Kunlun Mountain to ask my second senior uncle for clarification!"

"If Guangchengzi cannot provide an explanation, our Three Immortals Island lineage will fight him to the death!"

"Yes! It's a fight to the death!" Bixiao immediately chimed in, rubbing her hands together in anticipation.

Qiong Xiao nodded slowly, her eyes resolute.

Seeing his sisters united in their hatred of the enemy, and their anger successfully directed at Guangchengzi, Zhao Gongming felt a surge of satisfaction.

In the Prehistoric World, you really have to use cunning!

He only said a few words, yet he managed to make the San Xiao and Guangchengzi enemies.

Later, they will use a self-inflicted injury plot to frame Ying Yuan, causing the San Xiao to break ties with him.

And so... the San Xiao would belong to him alone!

I really am a genius!

The system that had been using the "intelligence-reducing aura" to influence the San Xiao remained silent.

It seems he didn't lower his intelligence as the host...
