Conspiracy Theory: Luring Human Powerhouses to Star Dou Forest

"What exactly happened, Bi Ji?"

In the core region of Star Dou Forest, Chu Yuan sat upon a hastily fashioned throne.

The one who spoke was Di Tian at his side.

"Could it be because a large number of human soul masters have gathered around the forest's outskirts and entrance?"

Before Bi Ji could speak, Chu Yuan voiced his own speculation.

When he had returned to Star Dou Forest, his spiritual power had already detected a large gathering of human soul masters at its outskirts and entrance.

Those human soul masters were fairly strong, but they were not truly powerful figures capable of influencing the course of an entire faction. At most, they were a group of Soul Emperors and Soul Saints.

Such a lineup looked more like a scouting party gathering information.

Bi Ji, standing below, nodded and replied, "Yes, my lord. This human operation is far too strange. They have been lingering around the outskirts and entrance."

"Myriad Demon King, your trunks spread across nearly all of Star Dou Forest. Have you received any information through them?" Chu Yuan looked toward a tree trunk nearby.

Myriad Demon King's true form was a Demon Eye Devil Tree. His trunks extended through nearly all of Star Dou Forest, and practically nothing that happened within the forest could escape their perception.

"Reporting to my lord, this subordinate heard those humans say that they came to confirm whether some treasure had appeared in our Star Dou Forest."

The tree trunk trembled slightly, and Myriad Demon King's voice came from within it.

"Treasure?" Chu Yuan looked at that section of Myriad Demon King's trunk in surprise.

What treasure? How did he not know about it?

If some treasure had appeared in Star Dou Forest, he should have been the first to know.

"Yes, my lord. Judging from the conversations among those humans, it seems to have been caused by the soul beasts we sent out that day to clear the human soul masters from the forest."

"In human understanding, Ten Thousand Year soul beasts dwell deep within the core region and mixed region. They would never go to the outskirts."

"The Ten Thousand Year soul beasts we sent to the outskirts that day were mistaken by the humans as a sign that treasure had appeared there, which drew even more human soul masters into the outskirts."

"However, the humans are merely speculating. Those people were sent by the major human soul master factions to confirm whether the treasure truly exists."

Only after Myriad Demon King finished speaking did Chu Yuan understand what had happened.

"They certainly have wild imaginations." Chu Yuan snorted.

"My lord, what should we do?"

At that moment, Di Tian cupped his hands and asked.

Before Chu Yuan could speak, Xiong Jun at the side opened his mouth. "What should we do?"

"Obviously, kill them all. Di Tian, has your brain been fried? You don't even know such a simple solution?"

"Xiong Jun, do you truly think this king would not dare lay a hand on you?!"

Di Tian turned around, and his aura abruptly surged.

Seeing that the two were about to fight again, Chu Yuan stopped them.

"Enough. Xiong Jun is right. We can simply kill them all, but they are merely small fry. Killing them would not be worth it."

Previously, Chu Yuan had placed a Space Concealment Talisman over Star Dou Forest. Therefore, no matter what happened inside Star Dou Forest, the God Realm would not detect the slightest thing.

With that, even if he killed Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi, the two servants of the gods, as long as he did it within Star Dou Forest, the Sea God of the God Realm would not discover that he was the killer.

"My lord means that we should release news that treasure really exists, lure more human powerhouses here, and then kill all the human powerhouses drawn in?"

Di Tian wore an enlightened expression.

"That's right. This king has used special means on Star Dou Forest. The God Realm cannot investigate what happens within the forest." Chu Yuan nodded.

Then he rose from his throne and looked down at Bi Ji.

"Bi Ji, transform into a human later, infiltrate that group of humans, and spread the news that treasure truly exists within the forest."

Then his gaze shifted to Di Tian.

"Di Tian, find a soul bone with a suitable age from your little treasury. Bring it with you and say that you found it casually in the outskirts."

Although soul bones were useless to soul beasts, Ferocious Beasts such as Di Tian would not simply watch the soul bones left behind by their fallen kin be taken by humans. Thus, they also collected the soul bones left behind by soul beasts.

"Yes, my lord!"

After Di Tian and Bi Ji answered in unison, they vanished from before Chu Yuan and the other Ferocious Beasts.

"My lord, then what do we do?"

Xiong Jun rubbed his fists, his face filled with impatience.

He was burning with anger right now and urgently needed to kill a few powerful human soul masters to vent it.

"Naturally, we wait quietly for the human powerhouses to come to us."

After Chu Yuan spoke, his figure flashed away.

He had put Zi JI through quite a lot. Even though her physique was exceptionally powerful, compared to him, it was still somewhat lacking.

Three days had passed since he went to the Extreme North, yet Zi JI still had not recovered her senses.

Otherwise, she could not possibly have been absent from this gathering.

Now, naturally, he had to go check on Zi JI.

Meanwhile, Di Tian and Bi Ji were elsewhere.

Bi Ji had already infiltrated that group of soul masters, spreading news everywhere that treasure truly existed within Star Dou Forest.

"It's real! It's real!"

Di Tian, transformed into human form, wore an expression of wild delight as he held a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone high in his hand.

"There really is treasure in Star Dou Forest! I found this soul bone in the outskirts!"

Upon hearing Di Tian's voice, the surrounding crowd swiftly gathered around him.

"Is that true?"

"I think it should be real. Look at his expression—it doesn't seem fake."

"I think so too. That's a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone. Who would use one to joke around here?"

The crowd erupted in an uproar, countless eyes fixed firmly on the Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone in Di Tian's hand.

"Kid, what exactly is going on inside the forest?"

At that moment, an inquiring voice rang out.

Di Tian did not even pause to think before blurting out,

"There are many Ten Thousand Year soul beasts inside. If my martial soul were not special and I had not managed to sneak a little deeper inside, I would never have obtained this soul bone."

"And according to what I know, three ninety-thousand-year soul beasts are guarding the deepest part. The treasure inside must be a truly peerless treasure!"

"I can't talk anymore. I need to hurry back and notify my elders!"

After Di Tian spoke, his figure flashed, and he disappeared into the crowd in the blink of an eye.

"My heavens! A treasure guarded by three ninety-thousand-year soul beasts—what kind of treasure must that be? No, I must immediately return and notify my sect master!"

For a time, figure after figure sped toward the outside world, each wishing they had two extra legs.

After the crowd dispersed, Di Tian stood in midair, coldly watching the direction in which they had vanished. A cruel smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

"Go on. Call all of your human powerhouses here."

Di Tian possessed absolute confidence. Even if he faced every powerful human soul master alone, he would remain fearless. That was the absolute confidence granted by his own formidable strength.

Not to mention that behind him stood his own immensely powerful lord.
