The surveillance camera is in the wrong place!

If Zuo Quan is a member of the sequence committee, his appearance at the Dongshan Imperial Mausoleum seems unusual.

If we consider Zuo Quan as an alien creature of the purple gladiolus, then Zuo Quan's appearance at the Eastern Mountain Imperial Mausoleum is a normal occurrence.

Zhang Xuezhou and the others did not expect that Zuo Quan would go to the construction site managed by the Zuo Household.

"The Luo Li Emperor's Mausoleum is abandoned and dilapidated; I never expected it would be a key area!"

"I didn't pay attention to the construction area that the Zuo Household was responsible for at first. I originally thought that their Lineage's construction team wasn't competitive enough and could only choose the Luo Li Imperial Mausoleum, which didn't have a good reputation. I didn't expect they had ulterior motives!"

"His participation in the construction wasn't just out of courtesy; the Luo Li Imperial Mausoleum is indeed a crucial part of their project!"

Ren Yisheng hung up the communicator, and only then did the others cautiously speak.

After a brief confirmation of Zuo Quan's whereabouts, the group guessed at many things they had never thought of before.

The Wuliang Jade Wall was a serendipitous occurrence, but its origin from a fireball created a rather ingenious misunderstanding when combined with the Sinkhole No. 2.

Everyone could sense the concern in Zuo Quan's voice; he was clearly very interested in this matter.

As long as Zhang Xuezhou recalled what Grenas had mentioned about demarcating areas, he knew very well that there was a conflict between the 'Mirror' and Huang Daoxian.

This conflict also forced Zuo Quan to compete against a character who had been dead for nearly five hundred years.

Zhang Xuezhou and his group's goal has never changed: to eliminate Huang Daoxian and stabilize all internal factors within the Scarlet Alliance State.

"If only we could figure out Huang Daoxian's background and exploit his weaknesses," Ren Yisheng murmured.

"Zuo Quan is too concerned about the Boundless Jade Wall. Perhaps we can also figure out the dangers of the 'Mirror' and then create a group of opponents for Zuo Quan," Zhang Xuezhou said. "The stronger the opponents, the more information he will inevitably reveal!"

"In other words, we must first find out about the 'Mirror' from Zuo Quan," Ren Anran said, "Instead of focusing on Zuo Quan while investigating the Eastern Mountain Imperial Tomb!"

"Good!"

Zhang Xuezhou nodded in agreement.

Before he switches worlds, he needs to set a general direction for many things so that everyone can work together when targeting Zuo Quan, instead of attacking haphazardly and ineffectively, which could provoke a counterattack from Zuo Quan and his group.

As a cultivator of destiny, Zhang Xuezhou was all too aware of the troubles this role brought.

Of course, Ren Yisheng's suggestion to use Zuo Quan's treasure to target Zuo Quan is indeed a possible solution.

However, the current problem is that Zuo Quan is constantly depleting his resources and has already mentioned that he has run out of lucky gems, Ren Yisheng's plan cannot be implemented for a certain period of time.

However, targeting Huang Daoxian would inevitably present even greater trouble, as Huang Daoxian couldn't possibly give everyone a bunch of lucky gems to counter him.

As things went back and forth, people were forced to unite on matters of common interest.

In such a collaboration, everyone also needs to seek out possible opportunities to obtain more relevant information.

"I'm in charge of the Eastern Mountain Imperial Mausoleum area, so I can take a stroll there from time to time," Zhang Xuezhou said. "If I have the chance, I'll bring some people to Luo Li Imperial Mausoleum to see what methods Zuo Quan has set up there."

"Take advantage of relevant opportunities as much as possible, and don't go alone," Ren Yisheng advised.

"That's inevitable!"

Zhang Xuezhou nodded.

Thanks to Feng Ziqiang's incessant narration, Zhang Xuezhou obtained a stroke of good fortune at the Luowu Emperor's Mausoleum.

Some things don't need to be done alone; when appropriate, teaming up with others can yield better results.

Zhang Xuezhou wholeheartedly agreed with this.

He wasn't the type of person who would shoulder heavy responsibilities and charge into battle. For Zhang Xuezhou, appropriately borrowing the assistance of others had almost become an instinct.

"Zuo Quan should be arriving soon. You two talk to him; I'll excuse myself for now!"

As Zuo Quan's arrival in North Rehe drew near, Ren Anran had been fighting against the Boundless Jade Wall for a long time, took a deep breath and then bid farewell to Zhang Xuezhou and the others.

Zhang Xuezhou and Ren Yisheng remained unaffected by the Boundless Jade Wall, while Ren Anran had to constantly resist in order to observe it properly; the marks on her face were too obvious and easily attracted attention.

She swayed slightly, then stomped her feet and left as if she had been standing for a long time.

"This thing is indeed very dangerous; a slight mishap could result in a backlash!"

"I wonder what 'Mirror's' strength was at its peak?"

Zhang Xuezhou and Ren Yisheng looked at the Boundless Jade Wall.

The two are among the strongest in the Alliance States, and Ren Yisheng even has the opportunity to reach the top.

Having reached this level of strength, one is almost at the point of seeking defeat, and like Montespatton, can only use ferocious beasts for testing.

Having witnessed the Boundless Jade Wall, which served as the remains of the Mirror, Zhang Xuezhou and Ren Yisheng felt that the world was far more expansive than they had imagined. The various strange and eccentric cultivators also made it difficult to let their guard down. Even Zhang Xuezhou, who had seen the existence of Dao Lords and Venerables, was amazed and felt that the Fire Meteor beings could not be underestimated.

These beings are either of strange races or possess unique cultivation methods, so the confrontations are not head-on battles or magical duels.

The diversity of races brought about different senses, and Zhang Xuezhou even felt for the first time that there were extremely unknown powerful beings in the real world, and these powerful beings might not be inferior to those in another world.

"Actually, I find it a bit strange that they are so enthusiastic about power. Do they really have to control a dynasty?" Ren Yisheng murmured.

"Controlling a dynasty might mean being able to enslave others and obtain endless resources!"

Zhang Xuezhou thought about Grenas, then about Huang Daoxian who was scheming to seize the fortune, and then about Presenel, Thousand Islands Alliance was rapidly disappearing. He even thought about 'White'.

Even now, Zhang Xuezhou still can't understand why these outcasts are so fixated on the dynasty's power.

Zhang Xuezhou, for example, never considered controlling any dynasty.

If it weren't for his cultivation of the art of manipulation, Zhang Xuezhou would have been willing to remain Rogue Cultivator, since his strength had improved almost entirely through Rogue Cultivator path.

Even someone as weak as him could become powerful by Rogue Cultivator, which made Zhang Xuezhou unable to understand why these extraordinary beings would risk their lives and struggle so desperately.

It would be one thing if one outcast was like this, but the problem is that many outcast creatures are like this, and some even lose their lives in the process.

Not only Ren Yisheng couldn't understand it, but Zhang Xuezhou couldn't understand it either.

"There must be other reasons behind this. If we can find out, we should investigate as much as possible," Ren Yisheng whispered. "We've already accomplished what was so difficult for them!"

The power of the Scarlet Alliance State is gradually stabilizing.

Although the current Sequence Committee does not represent absolute power like in feudalism, if Ren Yisheng wants to achieve a certain goal, Ren Yisheng can still obtain absolute support as long as the situation does not threaten the majority of committee members.

If these fire meteor creatures are hiding something that can only be done by controlling a dynasty, Ren Yisheng felt that after investigating and clarifying the matter, he could take action and directly cut off the escape route of these outcasts.

While waiting for Zuo Quan, the two discussed many things repeatedly.

Ren Yisheng and Zhang Xuezhou stopped talking when they saw Zuo Quan rushing over on the surveillance footage. They then went out together to greet him, giving Zuo Quan full face.
