Actually, she had some doubts a long time ago.
The queen's loyal guard and the love like that of a Western knight sound romantic, but they're actually complete nonsense.
Many people say they look like their mothers. Putting everything else aside, if a woman who resembles her mother so much truly loves her, would she allow those elders to do such disgusting things?
But if it weren't for his mother, why would he have left a powerful ancient force to join a race that could be wiped out at any moment?
The Ancient Demon Clan possesses immense talent, but they have been suppressed to the point of living like maggots in the shadows of the world. Their future prospects are worlds apart. What benefit could one possibly gain from venturing into the Ancient Demon Clan?
Moreover, my mother's choice back then was also very strange. This guy was a member of the guild, an enemy of the Ancient Demon Clan. Letting him in could have led to the extermination of the clan due to leaks at any time. Why did my mother take such a big risk back then?
Why trust his character?
Is it all because of love?
ridiculous
To become the queen of a clan, one must possess exceptional genes, qualities, and decisiveness. Back then, my mother was able to overpower the elders and become the queen of the Ancient Demon Clan. She even managed to defy public opinion and allow an outsider to enter the clan, demonstrating her immense prestige.
So what makes all of this come together so harmoniously?
A queen of such high prestige, a guild player who is clearly not normal, and an ancient race that will be wiped out if discovered—such a combination is something even the most romance-obsessed female-oriented novels wouldn't dare to write!
However, looking at it from the perspective of interests seems to offer a new approach.
Ziyue only realized this recently due to the surge in spiritual energy and the impending revival of the ancient realms in the third version.
Daoist School
That most mysterious ancient realm possesses the most powerful mechanical puppetry techniques. It always appears last, yet it always manages to secure a place in this world. Even now, Chen Qing can't say for sure whose powerful force is behind it.
It seems to have nothing to do with the head of the guard, but upon closer inspection, a connection can be found.
The plan for the Four Saints Guard was proposed by the Chief Guard, and the Four Saints Guard were carried out so successfully. But thinking about it carefully, when did the Ancient Demon Clan become so skilled in this kind of technology?
Those Four Saints Guard are all artificial bodies, and they may look different from puppets, but upon closer inspection, aren't they the same?
Previously, puppets were made of metal, wood, iron, and stone; this time, they're just made of flesh—biological puppets, after all.
The Four Saints Project, the superb puppetry technology, and the perfectly suited Ancient Demon Clan —upon closer reflection, wasn't this all pre-arranged?
The Daoist School had remained silent all along; it turns out they had already made their move!
"You're better than your mother," the guard captain said coldly, looking at Ziyue. "You can't say that. Your mother was, after all, a native, while you're a time traveler. Your perspectives and ways of thinking are different, so naturally you can think more deeply."
"That seems to be it." After confirming the situation, Ziyue felt much better.
From the very beginning, he was only after his own interests. He sacrificed himself to avoid being ostracized by the elders, so that makes sense. He never had any love for the queen, nor did he ever consider her family. Why couldn't he sacrifice himself?
"That's quite a scheme."
Many people probably wouldn't think of this.
That's true. In many people's minds, Daoist School is still limited to making puppets with metal, wood, iron, and stone, but they have never thought that Daoist School could break through technological barriers.
And if we're talking about biological puppets, who would be more suitable than the Ancient Demon Clan?
"I suppose they've already made arrangements in the East Sea?" Ziyue asked in a low voice.
"Ha," the head guard sneered, "That King of Qin thought he had figured everything out, but little did he know that he was already in that person's scheme. The East Sea, which many people mistakenly thought was a place to seek immortality, actually has the most hidden caves there. Back then, his rise was so sudden, catching many forces off guard, simply because no one paid attention to him. He was too lucky; his actual ability is far less than his reputation."
"Is that so?" Ziyue sneered slightly. "I don't think so."
Am I wrong?
"Before the King of Qin left, he made a cooperation with me."
"Before he left?" The head guard was taken aback, then his face darkened. "When did he make any promises to you? What promises could you possibly have made to him during your last meeting?"
On the South Sea, everyone is struggling to survive. How could Ziyue and Chen Qing, risking their lives, possibly have the mind to make an agreement with the King of Qin?
Who are you trying to fool?
"Then why do you think I brought you here at the last minute?" Ao Zhen looked at the other person with amusement.
The head guard choked on his words, unable to speak for a long time, cold sweat pouring down his forehead!
Could it be...?
At the Ao Zhen was on the verge of death, he still remembered to take him with him. At the time, he was completely baffled, because when the heavenly lightning struck, he would definitely be reduced to ashes, leaving not a trace, and unable to even enter the Samsara.
Shouldn't this be what she's most looking forward to?
Why save yourself?
Before he could even think it through, Ziyue coldly interrupted his thoughts, "Because once you die, they'll become alert, and it will be even more difficult for the King of Qin to find the Daoist School's entrance by following your clues."
"You don't... I don't believe it!" This time, the captain of the guard was genuinely panicked.
There are three places in this world that are the hardest to enter: the Dream Space of Buddhist School, the Mouth of the Extreme Abyss of the Demonic Sect, and the location of the gate of Daoist School.
Rumors say that the Daoist School controls countless Dao Fruit Gate, and some even Daoist School the Daoist sect controls passages to other worlds. No one can say for sure, because the people of the Daoist School have always been so mysterious. Although they occupy a place among the ancient forces, they rarely have major conflicts with the other sects.
But the so-called mystery in the world is all because of the unknown. When you really want to uncover the truth about many things, the truth may not be as mysterious as it seems.
The King of Qin was not a person who believed in superstitions, which was similar to himself.
"He already confided in me back when we last met. Guess why he's willing to help me this time? After all, it's such a big risk."
The captain of the guard gritted his teeth and said, "Isn't it because of the golem power within you?"
"Only you think that's something good." Ziyue sneered, "The more you use the power of Outer Demon, the greater the side effects. He already has one, why pursue more of it? Does he really want to completely become Outer Demon?"
Chief of the Guard: "."
"I'm sorry." Ziyue stopped what she was doing. The spatial runes in the air had been completed, forming an extremely mysterious spatial array. The runes kept changing, and on the other side of the array were clearly various scenes from the Northern Lands.
"He just sent me a message." Ziyue raised her wrist; it was a communication jade. Although they couldn't exchange words, the jade could change color remotely. If a certain signal was agreed upon beforehand, they could communicate remotely.
He succeeded!
"Impossible!" the head guard roared. "Impossible! There's no way he could find the gate. The Daoist School are extremely cautious; they would never cooperate with him."
"So, being cautious is enough to get us to cooperate? Are you someone we can really trust?" Ziyue sneered. "Demonstrate sufficient value. The Daoist School sect isn't stupid, and the King of Qin... isn't his performance more valuable than yours?"
"You're talking nonsense. If that were true, what would be the point of keeping me alive?"
"Oh," Ziyue suddenly laughed heartily, "I kept you around precisely because I wanted to see you like this."
