Chapter 1381 Miluo’s Schemes

This guy, at this moment, is still trying to sow discord between her and Changtian? Ning Xiaoxian snorted coldly, interrupting him: "But you knew to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and also knew to track it to this place?"

Miluo turned back to support the railing, gazing at the flying waterfall: "I discovered the underground palace not long ago and guessed that this mysterious place is related to the Ancient Barbarian Tribe. In today’s world, those most interested in it, besides King Jinghai Mansion, should be Yin Jiu You. From the data I have reviewed, his relationship with the Barbarian Tribe is quite subtle, seemingly full of enmity. I did not personally experience the era of the Barbarians, but every piece of data I have seen speaks of the tribe’s great power! Therefore, his greatest worry should be if the Barbarian Tribe’s forces are strengthened. So I designed for Yin Jiu You to intercept this message, although he might not initially know the source was me."

"Then, I lay out secret explorers near Red Ghost Mountain. Fortunately, within three hundred miles of the underground palace entrance, there are only two small towns and three county cities, each with a population of no more than two or three thousand people. When new faces appear in the town or county, I immediately know. I assumed, Yin Jiu You, being a Soul Cultivator, must attach himself to another’s body to enter the underground palace. He might not dare to target King Jinghai Mansion, and ordinary cultivators cannot enter the underground palace, so his most likely targets are mortals, considering that the performance of cultivators in the underground palace might not even compare to mortals!"

"On the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth month, I received an intelligence report that a small team of Heavenly Masters appeared near Red Ghost Mountain, wielding a dialect noticeably different from the locals. Nearing the year’s end, any mortal still willing to hasten on the road, especially the profession of Heavenly Master, would basically be drawn by great profit, which allows us to infer that Yin Jiu You hired them and may even be hiding within one person’s body!"

Miluo exhaled lightly: "Actually, before encountering you and the Shaking Heaven God, I had already informed the second force of this news, namely King Jinghai Mansion. They have intricate ties with the Barbarian Tribe, and upon hearing Yin Jiu You was heading to the underground palace, it was impossible to let him succeed. This was my design intention."

Ning Xiaoxian listened and said: "You’re planning to drive the tiger to swallow the wolf?"

"Correct." Miluo nodded. Standing this close, he could already smell her faint fragrance, "The underground palace is merely bait; what I hope for is a confrontation between King Jinghai Mansion and Yin Jiu You. Regardless of which side is weakened, it’s good news for me."

She smiled bitterly, realizing she and Changtian were just coincidental: "Is the current result exactly what you hoped for?"

"Yes!" Miluo slightly bowed, openly admitting it. The expression on his enlarged seductive face was quite serious: "This is one of the reasons I came to find you. Only two groups of people have left the underground palace, which is you and King Jinghai Mansion. The Shaking Heaven God and the first team of Heavenly Masters who entered the underground palace went missing, as did Yin Jiu You."

He said word by word: "In these two days, I also sent people to inspect it. Besides those monsters, the end of the underground palace is a gigantic lake, and nothing else. I want to know, what exactly happened inside the underground palace?"

She turned her eyes: "There’s nothing in the lake water?"

He affirmed: "Only an underground lake, no matter what originally existed in the lake, all traces have been wiped clean."

Thus, Chi Wen’s corpse is gone, it must have been taken by King Jinghai Mansion. Just now Ahua said, didn’t it, that black cat recently feasts greatly on dragon meat. But can the situation inside the underground palace be explained to Miluo? Changtian’s whereabouts should not be known by anyone outside Ba Snake Forest, otherwise Hidden Stream doesn’t know what kind of turmoil it will face next.

She thought carefully, Miluo waited a moment, seeing she was unwilling to speak, he persuaded: "Actually even if you don’t say, I can mostly guess. The Shaking Heaven God and Yin Jiu You did not emerge from the underground palace, it shows that something must have happened inside, and you were the only one who escaped, right? The trap capable of holding two great powers must be extraordinary, and if they couldn’t leave at that time, estimating they won’t escape in a short period."

"Putting aside the Shaking Heaven God, if Yin Jiu You’s inability to come out is certain, then for Hidden Stream, for Fengtian Prefecture, for the Northern Front, it holds great significance!" Miluo’s face became earnest: "Ning Xiaoxian, if there is an opportunity to clear great enemies for Fengtian Prefecture, I would do whatever it takes! Yin Jiu You and his avatar are stirring storms in the Southern Continent, the Northern Front is always moving south, after the new year, the war situation is all unfavorable! I know you hate how I designed against you, however, my duty requires strategy, if the Shaking Heaven God was in my position, his approach would be no different!"
