After forming an alliance with the emperor, Chen Qing obtained a very important piece of intelligence.
That is the division of power among the Ghost King in the Yin-Yang Road. The Ten Ghost King and the Four Ghost Venerables correspond to different forces and control a portion of Samsara. To be precise, once a member of a guild dies, as long as they are not instantly annihilated by external forces, they have a chance to Samsara.
But this opportunity is not as convenient as the Underworld in Jiangnan; rather, it is quite troublesome.
First of all, the entrances to the four Ghost Lords' Samsara are all very remote. In the vast Yin-Yang Road, you need to traverse a huge map and pass through the territories of countless evil ghosts before you have a chance to reach them.
The four Ghost Lords cannot stray too far from the entrance, otherwise it might be occupied by other forces, hence the area they have been guarding for many years.
Therefore, in order to control the Yin-Yang Road, one must win over evil spirits, that is, the Ghost King who conquer the Yin-Yang Road, in order to expand one's sphere of influence.
Simply put, the Ghost King is the agent of the Four Ghost Lords, and the war within the Yin-Yang Road is a war between agents.
In this situation, if someone within a guild's sphere of influence dies, they would need immense power to protect them if they wanted to Samsara within their own guild's territory.
For example, if he is unlucky and is born into another power's territory, such as the territory of a Ghost King under a rival power, then in order to successfully Samsara that person, it would be necessary to organize the forces here to provide support and cover.
However, if the other side finds out about this beforehand, they will also send their forces to snipe, meaning there is a risk involved!
No power can guarantee that its members will successfully Samsara. Moreover, given the current evenly matched situation, no powerful figure from any power is willing to voluntarily Samsara to complete the mission. Those sent out are all low-level figures, with the Black Queen being an exception.
Elder Liu's plan was secretive; he wanted to secretly orchestrate a grand scheme and seize the Life and Death Dao Fruit. Therefore, he could not send his generals, or at least not Venerable. Venerable were extremely valuable, and losing even one would greatly weaken his power.
Secondly, even Venerable would not be willing to take the risk. Thirdly, such a person's Samsara is extremely likely to attract the attention of hostile forces.
Because of someone of this caliber, Elder Liu would definitely send a large number of troops from the Yin-Yang Road to support him, in order to ensure the success of the Samsara. However, once he did so, it would be impossible to conceal the truth from others.
Therefore, Elder Liu chose to utilize those designer clones!
If the clone is devoured by the evil spirit, then so be it. Since it's all just copying data, you can just Samsara Samsara many times as you want.
They didn't know how many of them had been devoured by evil spirits before a group of them were lucky enough to Samsara.
This is what Elder Liu said, and it sounds very honest, but Chen Qing still felt that there were some lies in Elder Liu's words.
One of them is Ziyue!
According to his plan, Ziyue would deliberately be devoured by the Ancient Demon Clan in human form, then lure an important figure from the Ancient Demon Clan to Symbiosis with her, and finally lead the Ancient Demon Clan to establish Warlock Dynasty. At the same time, she would attract Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon to sign a contract with her, and ultimately lure the master of the Demon Domain Realm who possesses the Eyes of Direct Death out of the mountains.
The plan was meticulously crafted and seemed to be working perfectly, but there were too many uncontrollable factors in its actual execution!
How could Elder Liu be so certain that the Ancient Demon Clan would definitely send an important figure to Symbiosis with them?
How can we be sure that the princess of the Ancient Demon Clan race would have such courage?
How can we be certain that the older generation of the Ancient Demon Clan would persecute the princess? And how can we be certain that they could lure the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon?
There were too many uncontrollable factors in everything. In hindsight, it does seem to have been a success, but from the perspective of the initial planning, the plan was utter nonsense.
The only possibility Chen Qing could think of was that Elder Liu was lying.
Everything wasn't planned from the beginning; rather, it was all just a coincidence!
Elder Liu did indeed secretly Samsara a group of cloned designers. His initial purpose was definitely not so precise; it was merely to disrupt the situation, break the deadlock, and use these designers to reopen some new opportunities.
I just didn't expect it to work so well.
Therefore, they decided to use the Ziyue as a pretext to lure the Demon Domain figure into making a move, thereby finding a way to seize the Eyes of Direct Death.
Of course, Chen Qing had long wanted to take action against the Demon Domain leader after his son infiltrated the Dragon Palace and became the Dragon King, but he didn't believe that this plan had been in place from the beginning.
So the question is, is all of this really just a coincidence?
Chen Qing didn't think so either.
There can't be that many coincidences.
The fact that Ziyue was devoured could indeed have been arranged, if someone had been sent to infiltrate the Ancient Demon Clan from the beginning.
Looking at it this way, many things make sense. Why was Princess Ziyue so decisive?
Is it possible that they were trained in advance?
If you cultivate this ability from a young age, you will naturally have the opportunity to make crucial decisions at critical moments.
Who is most likely to create such a charismatic princess?
Answer: Chief Guard!!
The idea that a top-tier King Level member of a guild would fall in love with the queen of the Ancient Demon Clan sounds absurd to begin with, but now, considering all the details, it makes perfect sense.
Chen Qing looked at the person who looked exactly like Ziyue and immediately smiled. Everything finally made sense.
"The head guard is from the Daoist School sect, right?"
"Why would you say that?" the woman who called herself Yunyue asked with a smile.
"Think about it, and you'll understand. How can we ensure that the Ancient Demon Clan produces such a powerful and important figure to Symbiosis with Ziyue? It's simple: create one, nurture him from childhood, and ensure he has an absolutely noble bloodline. The Queen's descendant will definitely be a pivotal figure later on. That's why the Chief Guard fell in love with the Queen of the Ancient Demon Clan. So, from the very beginning, this so-called interspecies romance was a conspiracy."
"So you suspected the Daoist School a long time ago?" Yunyue asked, narrowing her eyes.
"No." Chen Qing shook his head. "I've been guessing which side the head of the guard was on, and now I'm sure."
"Truly worthy of being called Lord Chen Qing!" Yunyue clapped her hands and laughed, "Someone who almost turned the tide back then is indeed extraordinary."
"You flatter me," Chen Qing said with a smile. "Then here's the question: I know the method for Severing the Three Corpses. Although I didn't design it, I still know the general principle. Since you're here, where is the Evil Corpse?"
" The Evil Corpse is out of control. I must reunite with Lord Ziyue as soon as possible, otherwise Lord Ziyue will be in great danger if she reappears." Yunyue looked at Ziyue with a sincere expression.
"Is that so?" Ziyue smiled slightly, but took a step back behind the emperor.
"Does Lord Ziyue not believe me?" Yunyue frowned.
"We certainly don't believe it," Chen Qing said with a smile. "I have two questions I'd like to ask, and I wonder if you can answer them?"
Please speak.
Who is behind the Daoist School sect?
"And another thing," Chen Qing looked at the other person with a half-smile, "Are you really Good Corpse?"
