Starting as a God-Emperor by Intercepting Destiny

Chapter 98 The conspiracy is completely exposed, and Zhao Jing will overturn the entire chessboard (Happy New Year, three chapters today)

"Two days ago, Hongxiao contacted my household."

"She said she wanted to take revenge on the Yuwen family."

"Yes, that's what Hongxiao said."

"Because the Yuwen family framed Instructor Lin, causing him to be exiled to Sichuan, she pretended to submit to Yuwen Yi in order to gather intelligence and take revenge."

As long as Yuwen Yi doesn't use cheats, this plot is actually more reasonable.

Zhao Jing nodded: "And then?"

Youji took a deep breath: "She said that the Yuwen family has already negotiated with Tang Kun's lineage."

"The Tang Kun lineage has surrendered to the Yuwen family, so their past actions will be forgiven. However, they are still hesitant because they have extensive connections with the Crown Prince."

"Tang Kun is very likely faking illness."

"Therefore, the Yuwen family's backup plan was to join forces with Tang Qian to kill Tang Zhen, leaving Tang Kun with no choice."

Tang Zhen's marriage alliance with the Luo family made the Luo family a source of instability in Sichuan and Chongqing.

In a sense, the Luo family was too powerful to be surrendered to.

Therefore, the imperial court must at least restrain, or even weaken, the Luo family's power.

Tang Zhen's intention to reconcile with the powerful families of Bashu was a dangerous signal for the imperial court.

The imperial court supports the Tang family in order to oppose the local households in Sichuan and Chongqing. Now that you want to become a local household, why should the imperial court support you?

Therefore, Youji did not suspect Pan Hongxiao's revenge strategy.

Zhao Jing answered: "Her plan was to first kill Tang Ning, thus igniting a conflict between Tang Qian and Tang Zhen."

"In the end, the Holy Sect stepped in to clean up the mess, leaving Yuwen Yi with nothing and even heavy losses."

Youji nodded: "That's right, I have no reason to doubt it."

"Even this time, I personally paid for it—"

You Ji couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Pan Hongxiao's use of You Ji's connections to take revenge on the Yuwen family also benefits the Heavenly Demon Sect.

But business is business.

The cost of killing Tang Ning was astonishingly high.

The heir of the Tang Clan, a half-step Grandmaster, the Thousand-Handed Poison Master.

Even if a grandmaster were to be dispatched, it might not be possible to kill such a powerful individual.

The Heavenly Demon Sect has secured a protector at the peak of the Innate Realm, who is also their most ruthless assassin, and has spent precious pills to set up a killing formation.

The price of one precious pill is enough to buy ten courtesans.

Not to mention the assassins at the peak of the Innate Realm.

Zhao Jing had to train Chen Zhong himself and wait for him to grow up slowly.

Even if you sold Pan Hongxiao, you wouldn't get this much money.

Moreover, since her stated purpose was to take revenge on the Yuwen family, she could only use all her savings.

These are not enough, but they are more real.

Youji agreed to the deal and even paid for it herself.

Now, when she recalls Pan Hongxiao's resolute determination to take revenge on the Yuwen family, she realizes she has truly taught a good disciple.

Elder Youji was nicknamed the Ever-Changing Enchantress, but Pan Hongxiao surpassed her in skill.

Her acting was flawless.

Youji never imagined that after her husband was framed by the Yuwen family and exiled, Pan Hongxiao could still help Yuwen Yi.

Zhao Jing smiled faintly: "Then, if we consider Pan Hongxiao's revenge, everything will be reversed."

"First, Tang Kun's lineage has at least not explicitly surrendered to the Yuwen family; at most, they have only had contact with them."

"The Yuwen family will definitely try to wipe out the Crown Prince."

"Secondly, the Yuwen family is very likely to support Tang Qian's lineage —"

"etc!"

After listening for a while, Ying Xiaoxu sensed something was amiss: "If you're supporting Tang Qian's faction, why send an elder to target them?"

"Shouldn't we be supporting Tang Zhen's lineage? Hasn't Tang Zhen's lineage already abandoned the Luo family's path and switched to the Yuwen family?"

"Because Hongxiao has already laid out a killing formation, preparing for revenge."

Yu Ji answered this question herself.

"good!"

Zhao Jing nodded and said, "Looking back at the plan, Pan Hongxiao will provide all sorts of false information to lure the Holy Cult into a trap."

"As for Tang Zhen's lineage, that's why Pan Hongxiao had the Holy Sect take action."

"The main branch of Tang Kun's lineage is still alive. If the Holy Sect assassinated him, Tang Zhen and others are the most suspicious."

"Tang Qian can shout for revenge and lead the battle against the Holy Church."

"If Tang Zhen did not collude with the Holy Cult, then he must prove his innocence and lead the main force in the battle."

"In this way, Yuwen Yi can reap the benefits without lifting a finger."

The Tang family has internal strife, but they've managed to survive until now, which means they must have learned at least one lesson.

Only the entire Tang family is qualified to sit at the table for a meal.

The Tang family, scattered and disorganized, could only serve as a side dish.

With Tang Ning dead and the struggle over, Tang Zhen will likely have to send his main force to annihilate the Holy Cult.

With Pan Hongxiao guiding from behind, a perfect result can be achieved.

Tang Qian took control of the Tang family, but the lineages of Tang Kun and Tang Zhen suffered severe damage, and even the Holy Sect was wiped out.

Zhao Jing ultimately revealed the entire conspiracy: "Control the Tang Clan, annihilate the Holy Cult, all in one fell swoop."

"wrong!"

Ying Xiaoxu frowned: "As Your Highness said, Pan Hongxiao has made such a plan, but does Tang Qian's lineage have the ability to severely damage the Holy Sect?"

"That's wishful thinking."

"The experts of the Holy Cult far surpass those of the Tang Cult; otherwise, we wouldn't have planned to wipe them out."

"The Yuwen family has many experts, but with so many experts entering Shu, we will discover them in no time."

"Two or three grandmasters, that's about the limit of what we can hide."

19

"Even when experts gather, there will be divination revelations."

"The leader is most skilled in divination. At the slightest sign of trouble, the Holy Cult will immediately flee."

Ying Xiaoxu didn't believe that the Yuwen family could do this; on the one hand, they wanted to stage a coup in Yujing and maintain the situation.

On the one hand, they mobilized so many masters to Sichuan. Aren't they afraid of their crotch being exposed?

If you can launch a surprise attack, so can anyone else.

The chaos in Yujing was caused by Yuwen Yi gathering a large number of grandmasters to ambush Liu Chengxi, leaving Yujing vulnerable and allowing Zhao Jing to wreak havoc.

If these grandmasters were stationed outside the city, Zhao Jing wouldn't even be able to enter Yujing.

The Heavenly Demon Sect's grandmasters surpassed those of the Tang Clan, but they dared not act rashly or engage in a fierce battle with the Tang Clan only because they were restrained by the Dingchuan Army and local government offices.

Therefore, according to Xiao Xu's doubts, the Tang Clan does not have the ability to swallow up the Tian Tian Demonic Sect.

Because the Heavenly Demon Sect's greatest skill is escaping.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Jing smiled slightly: "What if the Dingchuan army lends a hand?"

"The Dingchuan Army controls the border area between Sichuan and Chongqing, so it won't take them long to get to the Tang Clan."

"With General Shi in command, annihilating the Holy Cult will not be difficult."

General Shi is loyal to the country. Now that a coup has occurred in Yujing, even if he returns to the capital immediately to rescue His Majesty.

He also wanted to severely damage the Heavenly Demon Sect first, to prevent the Sichuan Basin from falling into chaos again.

This is how he can be responsible to the Great Yong Dynasty, and as far as the court's lobbyists are concerned...

Having the Dingchuan Army fight against the Heavenly Demon Sect and even the Luo family would reduce the number of rebels in the Sichuan Basin, which would be an absolutely worthwhile deal.

Ying Xiaoxu still frowned: "In that case, it's impossible for the Luo family to have no news."

"The cult leader will also take action."

The Dingchuan Army, the Luo family, the Heavenly Demon Sect, and the Tang family have been playing the game of "Romance of the Four Directions" for so many years, and there must be a reason for it.

No matter which side launches a major offensive, it is easy for the other side to detect it and even encircle and annihilate them.

The Dingchuan army possessed the ability to launch a powerful attack, but it also feared that the enemy would seize upon its weaknesses and cause heavy losses.

Therefore, General Shi adopted a steady and methodical approach, continuously weakening the foundation of the Heavenly Demon Sect, reforming the immigrants, easing conflicts, and forcing them into a desperate situation.

Given enough time, the Heavenly Demon Sect will eventually be besieged and wiped out.

Ying Xiaoxu was born out of necessity and adopted a new operating model.

Therefore, she was puzzled as to how General Shi would manage to deceive everyone.

Zhao Jing couldn't help but fall into thought at this moment.

The plan seemed perfect, but its execution revealed flaws. Only by patching these flaws could Yuwen Yi achieve the full plan.

He could not afford to take the risk that would lead to the devastation of the Sichuan Basin.

Where is the key to victory?

Ying Xiaoxu couldn't help but suggest, "Your Highness, why don't we ask the sect leader to perform a divination to investigate General Shi's possible actions?"

"At least ask the head of the Luo family."

Wait, Master.

As Zhao Jing recalled the entire game's storyline, he finally made a discovery.

A smile appeared on his face: "I understand. As long as the leader betrays us, all this conspiracy will fall into place smoothly."

What?

The cult leader has betrayed us.

Not to mention Her Highness the Holy Maiden, even You Ji couldn't help but exclaim, "Your Highness, how can you speak such nonsense?"

Even if you just exposed Pan Hongxiao's affair, now you're suggesting the cult leader might betray you, which is completely unbelievable.

Zhao Jing smiled slightly: "Please don't get excited, you two."

"Is the Holy Church's leader, Dharma King Vacuum, interested in the doctrines, and devoted to managing the Holy Church?"

In the game, the leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect, Vacuum Dharma King, has a very low presence.

He only appeared a few times: assisting the King of Shu in ascending the throne, announcing the surrender of the Heavenly Demon Sect, and the reconciliation between the Tang Clan and the Luo Family, with the Heavenly Demon Sect stating that it would no longer attack the Tang Clan.

In other stories, the cult leader is a big villain, while the saintess is a good person.

"The Nine Princes' Struggle for the Throne" is the opposite; rather, the Holy Maiden is more like a traditional cult leader, ambitious and ruthless.

The cult leader, who was her mentor, had little ambition and was very interested in reconciliation, surrender, and even whitewashing.

If the King of Shu can ascend the throne, the Heavenly Demon Sect can be completely exonerated, which would be a good thing.

This is also the logic behind the actions of the Vacuum Dharma King.

Being a cult leader is a load of rubbish; it's better to be recruited into the government.

"impossible!"

"The Holy Church is my cause, and it's also my master's cause. Besides, he's a member of the Luo family, so what's the need for him to do this—"

Xiao Xu firmly refused to believe it: "You little thief, don't talk nonsense!"

If her shyness just now was somewhat feigned, Ying Xiaoxu is now genuinely angry.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Jing became even more certain of his guess: "Holy Maiden, please let me finish."

"The founder of the Holy Church was Luo Fu, a guerrilla general of the ancient Shu Kingdom."

"When he was fleeing after his defeat, he fell into a pit and narrowly escaped with his life. Not only that, he was also saved by a mysterious woman."

"Luofu regards this mysterious woman as his second parents. Legend has it that she is the Eternal Mother who descended to earth to save him and bestowed upon him the 'Future Eternal Scripture'."

"He believed that the Eternal Mother would descend to earth in the future and lead the remnants of the ancient Shu Kingdom to restore their country. Due to the tyranny of the Dayong Dynasty in its conquest of Shu, these ideas quickly spread and became the origin of the Holy Religion."

"Luo Fu was originally a member of the Luo family, the largest family in Sichuan. He passed on his martial arts skills and insights to the Luo family."

"Therefore, according to ancestral teachings, the Luo family members will be divided into two groups."

"One group is from the main family, and the other group is from a branch family."

"This division of the family must abandon the Luo surname and focus on the Holy Church."

"Therefore, the Vacuum Dharma King does not have the surname Luo."

"Perhaps the first generation and the second generation were truly divided into two groups, fighting for the restoration of the nation."

But time can change everything.

Zhao Jing recalled the setting of the Heavenly Demon Sect and made a very bold assumption: "The Luo family is still the number one family in Bashu, but the Heavenly Demon Sect has to fight on the front line and protect the Luo family."

"The Luo family even said that the Luo family is the Luo family and the Holy Church is the Holy Church, and that we shouldn't have too much to do with each other."

"Who can accept this?"

"Is this cult leader really his, or from the Luo family? He's just a laborer."

The Vacuum Dharma King may never have intended to betray the Holy Maiden.

But once the saintess died, he surrendered.

Otherwise, given the hidden power of the Heavenly Demon Sect, they should have been able to achieve even more.

The Vacuum Dharma King embodies a purely working-class mentality.

It's not worth it for the Luo family.

Why should they enjoy the good life while we're fighting the imperial court?

The hatred between the ancient Shu Kingdom and the Shu Kingdom has faded; time will heal all wounds.

Seeing the speechless expressions on You Ji and Ying Xiaoxu's faces, Zhao Jing came to a conclusion: "The imperial court does not need to destroy the entire Holy Sect, only the Holy Maiden faction."

"The overall situation in the entire Sichuan and Chongqing region was thus revitalized."

"And we took the initiative, capturing Pan Hongxiao and the others, and completely thwarting the enemy's plan."

"Any other comments?"

You've said everything, what are we supposed to say?

Youji and the Holy Maiden exchanged a glance and said in unison, "We will obey the Holy Son's orders."
