"Tang Chen is quite the troublemaker."
Lin Xiao rubbed his temples, unsure if Tang Chen still retained his memories.
If Tang Chen retained his memories, his strength would reach another level.
The Clear Sky Sect's ultimate techniques, combat experience... much of what was contained within his memories would make Tang Chen extremely difficult to deal with.
If a level 99 Limit Douluo were to perform Ring Detonation…
It would be a devastating blow.
Fortunately, the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King was a huge weakness.
Tang Chen's battered body would also greatly diminish his strength.
He would certainly not be Qian Daoliu's match.
Ye Qingxian and Lin Xiao were about to find a place to discuss matters when Tang Yuehua suddenly spoke.
"Why don't you let me join the discussion? I know the Clear Sky Sect very well, and I can even roughly guess what Tang San and the others will do."
Lin Xiao and Ye Qingxian both looked at Tang Yuehua with suspicious eyes.
To be honest, Tang Yuehua's state was strange, almost as if she had endured too much hardship, and her current calmness was the calm before the storm.
Tang Yuehua, however, calmly said:
"Don't worry about me leaking anything."
"If the Clear Sky Sect were willing to listen to me, they wouldn't have fallen into their current predicament; as for Tang San, I have no reason to be foolish enough to interfere."
"I'm caught between a rock and a hard place right now, not fitting in anywhere."
"On the contrary, proving my worth might make things a little easier."
Lin Xiao looked at Ye Qingxian.
Ye Qingxian frowned in thought, then finally nodded.
"It wouldn't hurt to consider her thoughts."
"However, for the time being, Yuehua, you should stay at my place. If you need anything, just have the maids help you purchase it."
Lin Xiao understood that this was a veiled form of house arrest for Tang Yuehua.
But Tang Yuehua didn't seem to mind.
Ye Qingxian reached out and gently stroked Tang Yuehua's face, as if with pity, saying:
"Yuehua, you always want to prove yourself, wanting to bring greater benefits to the Clear Sky Sect, working tirelessly. In the end, have you gained the respect you desired? Does anyone even acknowledge your contributions?"
"They'll just think that if you weren't Tang Xiao's sister, you wouldn't have the right to give orders, nor would you be worthy of your current position."
"A lifetime is very short, and a woman's prime is even shorter. You should live for yourself!"
Tang Yuehua was deeply moved by her words.
But she still retorted:
"Is this an attempt to alienate me from the Clear Sky Sect, or is it genuine concern from a friend?"
Ye Qingxian smiled slightly.
"Both."
...
In a private room.
The soundproofing was excellent.
Tang Yuehua revealed all the information she knew.
"I can roughly understand Tang San's thoughts. I can guess them from his so-called brothers and teachers."
"Yu Xiaogang is desperate for Tang San to become a God, so he can gain benefits. Therefore, he will definitely persuade Tang Chen to take back the Asura Divine Sword; Yu Tianheng wants revenge on Lin Xiao and strongly supports this; Dai Mubai, in order to have a chance at the Throne, wants Tang San to become the leader of the Clear Sky Sect, secretly using the power of the Slaughter City."
"They all have their own agendas and are blinded by greed!"
"Even if I don't know their plan, I can deduce it in reverse and make a rough guess!"
Tang Yuehua stated with certainty:
"The Slaughter City will definitely emerge!"
"After merging with the Clear Sky Sect, they will immediately develop towards the Star Luo Empire!"
"What is your plan?"
Lin Xiao said:
"The Clear Sky Sect is not a threat; the main concern is Tang Chen. As long as Tang Chen is suppressed, the Fallen Ones in the Slaughter City will be nothing but a disorganized mob!"
"Tang Chen will be handled by the Great Enshrinement of the Spirit Hall, Qian Daoliu. Once the relationship between the Clear Sky Sect and the Slaughter City is made public, the Spirit Hall will naturally not miss this opportunity."
Ye Qingxian nodded slightly.
She also felt that, after all, the Continent simply couldn't accommodate Fallen Ones, and perhaps the problem could be resolved without bloodshed.
However.
Tang Yuehua curled her lips and said coldly:
"But you've all overlooked one thing!"
"Ferocious Beasts."
"What if the Ferocious Beasts cause trouble while Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen are fighting?"
Lin Xiao and Ye Qingxian exchanged glances, both surprised.
They really hadn't considered this.
Ye Qingxian frowned and said:
"The Ferocious Beasts have just awakened and know almost nothing about the human world. How could they learn such important news from the Star Dou Great Forest?"
Tang Yuehua retorted:
"What if humans actively tell the Ferocious Beasts? Don't expect any conscience from the Fallen Ones in Slaughter City! Especially Yu Xiaogang; he looks honest, but he's full of wicked ideas!"
Lin Xiao frowned and thought seriously.
He slowly said:
"No, the Ferocious Beasts won't have time to react, because I'll be fast enough!"
"You have to understand, Tang San and the others still don't know that I've figured out their plan. Why would they tell the Ferocious Beasts from the start?"
"Besides, it's not even certain if they can be contacted."
Let alone the extreme secrecy of the Lake of Life.
Just Ah Yin, who surrounded the Lake of Life, could monitor the movements of outsiders.
Ye Qingxian and Tang Yuehua both agreed with Lin Xiao's words.
Lin Xiao immediately slapped the table.
"So we need to leverage our intelligence advantage and fight a lightning war!"
"I'll go make arrangements."
"Aunt Ye, please take care of Pavilion Master Yuehua."
Ye Qingxian said with a smile:
"I'll take good care of her."
Tang Yuehua snorted.
"House arrest is house arrest, just put in such noble terms!"
...
Lin Xiao contacted Qian Daoliu, not caring how surprised the other party would be. He first told him all about Tang Chen's situation over the years, and then mentioned that Slaughter City might want to merge with the Clear Sky Sect.
This news was too explosive.
Qian Daoliu might not believe it.
So Lin Xiao took out Tang Chen's Token and passed it to Qian Daoliu as well.
Then.
Lin Xiao also visited the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and inquired about Sea God Island from Ning Fengzhi. He learned that Ning Fengzhi knew of Sea God Island's existence, and even the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's merchant association had trade dealings with Sea God Island.
Lin Xiao then asked Ning Fengzhi to have the merchant association spread more news across the Continent.
"The Slaughter King of Slaughter City is the Old Ancestor of the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Chen!"
"Tang Chen is the leader of the Fallen Ones!"
"Tang Chen's hands are stained with blood..."
These were all narrated by Lin Xiao, quite realistically.
He didn't know if they would reach the High Priest of Sea God Island, but Bo Saixi had to guard Sea God Island, especially with the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, who had been coveting it for nearly a million years, lurking nearby.
Since she couldn't leave the island, it probably wouldn't have much of an impact.
Lin Xiao was just taking precautions.
...
Worship Hall.
Qian Daoliu was shocked, unable to recover for a long time.
He could never have imagined that Tang Chen, a Proud Son of Heaven from his own era, who had even captured Bo Saixi's heart, would have degenerated into the Slaughter King!
He even dared not believe the news was true!
But, looking at the letter and Tang Chen's Token in his hand.
Qian Daoliu fell silent.
He couldn't help but sigh, "So, what exactly am I lacking compared to Tang Chen?"
"Bo Saixi, why did you choose him..."
Tang Chen was more wild, more arrogant, and stronger; Qian Daoliu admitted this.
But if she saw Tang Chen now.
Would Bo Saixi regret it?
