After using the conditions we currently knew, along with Daoist Qingshan's cautious speculation, to make an extended conjecture.
An overwhelming sense of terror instantly spread through my mind.
If that was the case, then this trip to wipe out Carefree Tower would probably be anything but easy.
The Great Fiend had existed for so long and had fought Xiao Yu for thousands of years.
They had constantly cultivated forces outside, and they must have been plotting against one another all along.
They were not mindless idiots. They possessed intelligence too.
If that was the case, then I felt my conjecture really might come true...
If we continued expanding our thoughts based on that assumption, then could the Ghost Parade on the fifteenth of July, the thousand ghosts besieging the Nine Corpse Tower, and the inside-outside coordination with the Great Fiend all have been part of this scheme?
The purpose was to make Xiao Yu recognize the threat Carefree Tower posed to the Nine Corpse Tower, then lure her into taking the initiative to attack Carefree Tower when it opened.
Once Xiao Yu left the Nine Corpse Tower, her home ground, and entered a trap that had long been layered with countless snares, the consequences could be unimaginable.
The more I thought about it, the more terrified I became.
I felt that all of this was plausible.
It did not matter if we guessed wrong. But if we guessed right, even if the odds were only one in ten thousand, and Xiao Yu went with us to Carefree Tower, then if anything went wrong, the seal on the Nine Corpse Tower could go from stable to loose again. The Great Fiend might even break free of the seal completely.
We could not take such a risk lightly.
