Chapter 227: Sect's Plot Arrangement

Shen Ziqing snapped the folding fan in his hand shut and pointed at the people standing in the front.

"First-rate Demon Sect Yuan Luozong, Zhou Yi, Cheng He, Zhang Ke..."

The masked men stiffened a little with each name they spoke, but they did not become defensive and instead reluctantly pulled the masks off their faces.

"I won't tell you the names of the rest. I'm just a little curious... Which super sect instructed you to come to this Demon-Suppressing Mountain Range, and what did they ask you to do?" Shen Ziqing tapped his palm lightly with his folding fan. Although he was smiling, there was no trace of a smile on his face.

The people present were all in the Nascent Soul stage. If they were besieged, Shen Ziqing would surely die, but no one present dared to take action.

Because Shen Ziqing has Tianxu Tower behind him, even the super sects have to give Tianxu Tower some face, not to mention their first-rate sect.

The fact that Shen Ziqing appeared here meant that he knew more. Now that he was actively asking, he was actually giving them face.

"Mr. Shen, please don't misunderstand. Our action this time was the result of careful consideration and discussion. It is by no means reckless and will definitely not affect Tianxu Tower." As the leader of this trip, Zhou Yi took on the role of negotiating with Shen Ziqing.

"Brother Zhou, I really want to believe you, but your move is a conflict between a noble marquis and a commoner marquis's son. Everyone knows there's something fishy about Emperor Yu. Perhaps he's just setting a trap, waiting for you to fall into it, so he can send his troops." Shen Ziqing put away his folding fan and shook his head helplessly. "Sending troops requires resources, and we don't want Emperor Yu to visit Tianxu Tower."

"This……"

Zhou Yi and the others were torn. Shen Ziqing's words made sense. They were also worried about exchanging identities, but they were also putting their entire sect on the line.

If you ask the higher-ups at this time, your position might be exposed.

Just as Zhou Yi and the others were struggling, Shen Ziqing spoke up, "I don't want to embarrass you. How about this: if you can put me at ease, the gate of Tianxu Tower in Jingzhou will be opened for you."

When Zhou Yi and the others heard that there was a chance to enter Tianxu Tower directly, their breathing became rapid.

That is the Tianxu Tower, a secretive existence like the shadow of Dayu. Even the geniuses of super sects may not have the opportunity to step into it. They can only obtain the products in the Tianxu Tower through some purchasing channels.

Now that the chance to get tickets is right in front of them, how could they not be tempted?
"Mr. Shen, are you serious?"

"Of course, Shen can still make the decision on this little matter. But you also have to let Shen rest assured."

"Okay - Mr. Shen, please follow us!"

Zhou Yi and others no longer hesitated and immediately led the way for Shen Ziqing. Soon they jumped over the outer circle, entered the middle circle, and came to an extremely hidden cave.

Shen Ziqing frowned slightly. This cave was not simple. If Zhou Yi and the others had not led the way, he would not have been able to find it even if he used his spiritual sense. Moreover, this cave was close to the inner circle of the Demon-Suppressing Mountains.

At this time, Zhou Yi spoke up, "Mr. Shen, have you heard of the Marquis of Bahuang?"

"Of course, he is a celebrity," Shen Ziqing raised his eyebrows, knowing that Zhou Yi was about to reveal his cards.

Even though this place was very safe, Zhou Yi subconsciously looked around and lowered his voice, "In fact, the origin of the Eight Desolate Marquis is extraordinary. He is definitely not an ordinary commoner. We have found out some things. The Eight Desolate Marquis... may also be a descendant of the first Emperor Yu!"

Shen Ziqing was stunned, with a strange expression on his face.

There are so many people in this world who have the blood of Emperor Yu. They may be tomb robbers, knights, miracle doctors, farmers, or woodcutters.

But speaking of the Marquis of Bahuang, that was a bit unbelievable. Those princes and princesses wanted to be as far away from power as possible.

However, Shen Ziqing quickly thought of a possibility and smiled meaningfully, "Whether or not there is Emperor Yu's bloodline...it doesn't matter at all, right?"

Zhou Yi and the others immediately shared the same smile. "As expected of Master Shen. The Marquis of Bahuang is already on the verge of becoming the leader among the commoner marquises, and his youngest son, Li Lin, has recently become even more remarkable, trampling those aristocratic princes under his feet."

"But if this isn't enough, Li Lin grew up in Baidi City after all. His achievements are at most on par with his father, Marquis Bahuang. If this is all, it would be a waste."

Hearing this, Shen Ziqing nodded thoughtfully. "In other words, you intend to use this spring hunt to sow doubts about Dayu in Li Lin's heart, and then make him think that since he carries the blood of the first Emperor Yu, he is also qualified to sit on the throne."

"So that he can legitimately shake the rule of Emperor Yu from within."

"As expected of Mr. Shen," Zhou Yi and the others did not nod directly, but praised with a smile.

"That's a good idea... but what if Li Lin remains loyal to Emperor Yu?" Shen Ziqing smiled and shook his head. "Besides, Emperor Yu is extremely powerful. How can Li Lin fight against him?"

Zhou Yi laughed. "Master Shen, how can those who talk about morality and justice but use it to attack others be considered true gentlemen? They... are just waiting for a legitimate excuse."

"Whether Emperor Yu was a sage or not was completely unimportant to them. They just needed a reason to suspect him of conspiracy so they could justify their own misdeeds."

"If Emperor Yu's unworthiness isn't enough, how about giving them a reason to save the world?"

"It doesn't matter whether Emperor Yu harmed the common people. They just need a righteous excuse, and they will fill in the rest themselves."

Zhou Yi pulled a storage bag from his bosom and gently shook it, sending a withered skeleton emitting a powerful aura to the ground. The others stepped forward, positioning the skeleton toward Baidi City and then clad it in armor only worn by the great princes of Dayu. One of them picked up a sword and, with a swipe of his hand, carved a few lines of words into the stone wall.

All those handwritings exuded a strong and sharp aura. Every line of words was denouncing Emperor Yu as a hypocrite, and the last line lamented that he hoped that someone with a destiny could inherit his legacy and save the people of Dayu.

"Mr. Shen, look—the reason is already there, isn't it? As for the question of strength—"

Zhou Yi raised his hand and hung a storage bag that exuded an ancient aura around the waist of the withered skeleton.

"Isn't this already the case?"

Shen Ziqing glanced at the storage bag and said, "These are not enough."

"Of course it wasn't enough, but it was enough for him to make a name for himself. As for what happened next... Young Master Shen, have you heard that the great scholars at the Jixia Academy once used every prince and princess as the crown prince to deduce the future, and they concluded there was only one future."

Zhou Yi smiled meaningfully.

"This shows that our plan was successful."

"Mr. Shen, are you relieved?"
