In Star Luo City, inside the main hall of Star Luo Palace.
Dai Tianling's face was livid. With a sweep of his hand, he sent the military reports on the table crashing to the floor. No matter how hard he tried, he could not understand how Green Skeleton had become so troublesome in just one year.
"There must be an expert guiding them from behind the scenes," Dai Tianling said grimly. "When the enemy advances, we retreat. When the enemy camps, we harass them. Ordinary rebels could never have come up with such tactics."
En Ci stood nearby, his brows tightly furrowed. "Your Majesty, I suspect this matter is connected to Yin Hongye and the others coming to Star Luo Empire. Ever since they arrived, their actions have been strange, and Green Skeleton's rise happened at precisely this time..."
"It can't be them." Dai Tianling cut him off, his tone certain. "I already sent people to investigate. They went to the Tang Sect, and their target seemed to be the Tang Sect's Dragon Valley. Moreover, those who entered Dragon Valley have been dying one after another recently. It was clearly the work of Yin Hongye's group."
"Who else besides that calamity could kill so recklessly? They must be fighting over some treasure. Why would they spare the attention to command rebel forces? The one directing Green Skeleton must be someone else."
En Ci pressed his lips together. It did seem to make sense. Yin Hongye was a killer—could he really possess the ability to command an army as well?
Wouldn't that be a little too versatile?
This damn Soul Master stuff—scientific research, warfare command...
Although he felt something was wrong, he could not think of any way Yin Hongye could so easily manage both sides in such a short time.
