Chapter 658 The Night King's Scheme

Ever since he practiced the Reverse Yuan Technique last time, the Night King was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

The little bit of vital energy he cultivated was practically useless. At most, it could be used to unleash a level one minor skill. Although it could make the minor skill much stronger, it was absolutely impossible to kill Zi Donglai with that kind of power.

The plan failed, and the Night King no longer had the resources to try again, so he had to find another way.

He even considered massacring all the cities that Ziyang City had captured, killing all the remaining personnel of the Ziyang Corps to vent his anger, and at the same time, to strike at Zi Donglai.

However, after sending people to investigate, they discovered that Zi Donglai had not stationed any people in those cities at all. Even the people of the Mute City had been taken away by him and were now all in the original Nine Demon City.

He didn't dare to attack Ziyang City directly, so the plan failed again, and he didn't even have the chance to kill the people of Dumb City.

The Night King was naturally unwilling to accept defeat and tried every means to gather intelligence, hoping to find out the weaknesses of Zi Donglai and the Ziyang Legion.

While the weakness wasn't found, the Night King did learn some rumors about Zi Donglai within Taishan City, mainly concerning the battle at Dumb City.

If an ordinary person heard those rumors, they would only think they were exaggerated rumors spread by mistake.

However, after listening, the Night King astutely noticed some problems.

"What do you think of these rumors?" Night King asked, looking at Mo Qingtian, Mo Kai, and Mo Xing.

Mo Qingtian looked at the information and said, "My lord, the three of us did not participate in the battle of Dumb City. However, these rumors are exaggerated. Zi Donglai does have the ability to grow to a giant size, but that ability should be a secret ability that can only be used once. Then he will return to his original size. I saw it with my own eyes. It is impossible for him to be able to use it indefinitely as the rumors say."

"He didn't use this gigantification ability at all during the battle of the Silent City," the Night King said calmly.

"What? He didn't use it?" Mo Qingtian was shocked. Although he didn't think Zi Donglai could use the giantification ability indefinitely, the fact that Zi Donglai had achieved such a terrifying record without using the giantification ability made him even more horrified.

The Night King, however, was not thinking about these things. He continued, "Zi Donglai did not use his giant form ability, and the demons were completely annihilated at the time. Why is there such a version of the battle that is completely different from the real one? And why does Ziyang City seem to have deliberately blocked the news?"

"Why?" Mo Qingtian and the other two couldn't figure it out; it seemed pointless.

Regardless of how Zi Donglai won, he has already won. What does it matter what version it is?

The Night King said coldly, "I was forced to teleport to a very far place and didn't have time to get back. But my subordinates kept sending me messages. In that battle, it wasn't Zi Donglai who killed the demon army, and most of the demon generals didn't die at his hands, but at the hands of the female demon Jin Taohua."

"Jin Taohua... how did she get involved with Zi Donglai..." Mo Qingtian and the other two were all stunned. Jin Taohua's name was well-known to them. She single-handedly fought against the powerful families of the entire Divine Continent. Even the Demon King was amazed by Jin Taohua's actions.

Of course, in reality, Jin Taohua did not fight against the ten major families; her main enemy was actually only the Gong family.

"My lord, do you mean that the reason there are such rumors among humans is because Zi Donglai doesn't want people to know that Jin Taohua has also joined the war, and he doesn't want people to know that he has a relationship with Jin Taohua, fearing that the ten great families will take their anger out on him because of Jin Taohua?" Mo Xing said excitedly, "If that's the case, we only need to leak this news to the ten great families, and the ten great families will take action against Zi Donglai without us even lifting a finger."

"Indeed, that's exactly the point." Night King sneered, "The ten great families may not be good at fighting, but they're quite adept at suppressing their own people. We just need to send the message over and let them know the truth, and then Zi Donglai will be in big trouble. Whatever he's afraid of, we'll give him." "Your Excellency's plan is truly brilliant!" Mo Qingtian and the other two quickly flattered him.

The task of delivering the message to the ten major families naturally fell to the three Mo brothers.

The Night King had already planned that when the ten great families dealt with Zi Donglai, he could reap the benefits.

Of course, if the people from the ten major families fail to kill Zi Donglai, he can also lend a hand.

Before long, the ten major families received the news.

The Gong family immediately went to the Taishan City Lord's Mansion, demanding an explanation from Mr. Xiao, clarifying what exactly happened at the time, whether it was Zi Donglai who annihilated the demon army or Jin Taohua who took action.

Mr. Xiao insisted that he had not seen Jin Taohua, but the Gong family would not let the matter rest.

“Mr. Xiao, if we find out that you are deliberately covering up for the female demon, you should know very well what your fate will be. It’s not too late to confess now. As long as you tell the truth, our Gong family will not make things difficult for you.” Gong Shisan said coldly to Mr. Xiao.

Gong Shisan was specially sent by the Gong family to resolve this matter after they received the news.

If Zi Donglai is just causing trouble by himself, they can ignore it.

However, if Zi Donglai and Jin Taohua get together, they absolutely cannot allow Zi Donglai to continue developing his career, as that would be an endless disaster for the Gong family.

Even if it means sacrificing the interests of other secret realms, they will still dispatch enough powerful individuals to eliminate Zi Donglai and Jin Taohua.

"What I'm saying is all based on what I've seen. If you don't believe me, that's your problem. You can go to Ziyang City and investigate yourselves," Mr. Xiao said without changing his expression.

“Okay, we’ll investigate.” Gong Shisan glanced at Mr. Xiao, greeted Xuan Donglai, and then turned and left with his men.

“Mr. Xiao… let’s go…” Xuan Dongyue looked at Mr. Xiao and sighed.

Knowing he couldn't hide it any longer, Mr. Xiao smiled bitterly and said, "City Lord, I'm sorry, but I really don't want to see the Ziyang Legion..."

“I know you did nothing wrong, but you can’t stay here any longer. Go to Ziyang City. If they can pull through this crisis, you can realize your ambitions there. I’ve wronged you all these years,” Xuan Dongyue said.

“Lord of the City…you flatter me…If it weren’t for you…I wouldn’t be where I am today…Your kindness is truly beyond repayment…” Mr. Xiao quickly bowed and said.

“Go, sir. A roc should soar ninety thousand miles into the sky, not huddle in this rotten, stinking ditch.” Xuan Dongyue stuffed something into Mr. Xiao’s hand, and said while holding Mr. Xiao’s hand, “Sir, this treasure is like me traveling with you. I hope it can help you on the battlefield, which is equivalent to me fighting alongside you.”
