"Your meaning is..."
Lingxiao Immortal Emperor frowned. "You want my true body to go to the Hidden Sect, while my clone stays behind to attack the South Region!?"
"No, it's the other way around!"
Miss Dongfang shook her head. "Your true body should stay behind to attack the South Region, while your clone secretly follows Long Aotian."
"Why!?"
Lingxiao Saintess's head was full of question marks. She couldn't understand the point of this arrangement.
What else could it be!?
Of course Boss Qin wanted to set you up, make you fight among yourselves, and then reap the rewards himself!
"Your Highness..."
Miss Dongfang complained inwardly, but respectfully bluffed, "A hundred years ago, the God of War Hall was ambushed by Yi Tianji. Long Aotian will surely have learned from that when he goes to the Hidden Sect, and will leave an Immortal Emperor clone behind to guard the God of War Hall's headquarters. So if Your Majesty leaves an Immortal Emperor clone to attack the South Region, the two sides will simply end up holding each other in check. If we want to break through the South Region smoothly, Your Majesty's true body must stay behind."
"Good point!"
After hearing her analysis, Lingxiao Immortal Emperor nodded in approval. But then he frowned again. "An Immortal Emperor clone is still just a clone. It can't possibly defeat Long Aotian's true body. What's the point of having it follow him!?"
"To hold him in check!"
Miss Dongfang replied calmly, neither servile nor overbearing. "This time, the Hidden Sect hasn't just drawn Long Aotian. Many of the Immortal Realm's major powers are heading there too. As long as Your Majesty holds Long Aotian back at a critical moment, the Hidden Sect's treasures will be divided among the others..."
"How can that be!?"
