Chapter 1023 - 958: Things Never Spoken Of

On the deck, a group of people stood still, Yin Wang and Quan Xiaotong faced each other.

After a long silence, he let the other party speak first.

"Actually, what I pride myself on is not strength, but rather my strategy, which you should understand."

As soon as he spoke, Yin Wang said this.

Because he could see a kindred spirit in Quan Xiaotong.

The sense of overseeing the overall situation and making strategic moves is no less than the achievements of a cultivator’s cultivation,

Quan Xiaotong indeed understood him, because he too prided himself not on his cultivation, but his tactical thinking.

This was also why he wasn’t the strongest, yet could command all the cultivators of the Central Continent.

"Wuxian’s cultivation may be strong, but his overall view isn’t enough; Shang Wanfeng has plenty of bad ideas but likes to be insidious, which is why I’ve been able to manage the entire Yama Hall and deal with them for so long."

Though they were puppets put forth openly, they fought for thousands of years, during which the Celestial Dao Sect was the dominant side, while Yama Hall was always weaker.

But even in weakness, he managed the entire Yama Hall meticulously, with all arrangements coming from him.

As for the repeated setbacks later on, firstly, Han Yu was stirring up trouble, and secondly, the foundation of the Celestial Dao Sect was ultimately too strong.

Thirdly, and most importantly, he had too many fools under his command, dragging him down.

Quan Xiaotong indeed believed this. From Yin Wang’s arrangements in recent times, being able to pit Yan Yi and Jingzhe so ruthlessly proved his strategy.

"So, sitting in the same boat, I hope that if there are arrangements in the future, we can inform each other."

This was Yin Wang’s appeal. Since he had fully defected, he must ensure his advantage continues to expand and guarantee the celestial way will win.

"Could we also have some of those ships? I want to transfer those cultivators over as well."

This was Yin Wang’s second appeal; he needed to ensure that his forces were not slaughtered, and naturally sought protection here.

Of course, Yin Wang wasn’t asking for free.

"Later, I have several arrangements for seizing rules, when both sides will exert force, naturally requiring a lot of manpower, which we can discuss and perfect together later."

Quan Xiaotong pondered for a long time and finally nodded in agreement.

If the other party isn’t a fool, they certainly wouldn’t dare be unfavorable to the Central Continent.

In his view, Yin Wang is certainly not foolish.

"Do you have any thoughts about Han Yu seizing Qi Fortune?"

After handling these two matters, Yin Wang switched to ask.

Quan Xiaotong hesitated for a moment before speaking slowly, "I do have some, but they’re just some immature ideas..."

Yin Wang became interested immediately, calling Quan Xiaotong to find a place to elaborate...

In the cabin of a separate Celestial Wave Ferry, cries echoed in the dimly lit environment.

Di Liuxin was crying like a child thousands of years old, yet unfortunately, no one comforted him; instead Wuxian and the three looked on coldly, with Jiang Xinyuan grinning, wanting to use the opportunity to kick him a few times.

Bastard, kept them in the dark for thousands of years, his mouth was tightly shut.

"Are you here to save me?"

"You finally came..."

"Shut up."

Faced with Di Liuxin, who had turned into a tearful mess, Wuxian interrupted him coldly with a steely face.

Save?

In the past, he would have broken him, but now seeing his cultivation lost, even the interest in beating him was gone.

Di Liuxin immediately stopped crying, sitting on the ground with grievance, looking at the three.

Wuxian looked at him angrily, disappointed, then slowly spoke.

"I ask you, apart from running around privately for the Celestial Being in making Dharma Aspect, are there any other matters?"

They certainly didn’t come just to visit their old fourth, more to see if he still had any secrets untold.

Celestial Being?

Di Liuxin first looked at them with extreme fear, his face changing greatly, unable to believe such a title would come from their mouths.

Until Jiang Xinyuan explained the Dharma Aspect monster and other matters concisely, he spoke mockingly, "You didn’t expect it! The things you hid eventually used to bury our path."

"So, tell me! Are there any matters you haven’t said yet?"

Di Liuxin was stunned for a long time, seemingly not recovering from the shock, until a huge terror swept over him, making him tremble uncontrollably.

"So, the teacher really plans to annihilate the world in the end?"

"We’re all going to die?"

"Have you really betrayed us?"

Before he could continue questioning, Shang Wanfeng scolded impatiently, "Fool, now we’re asking you, quickly, are there any matters you haven’t mentioned?"

Wuxian also sighed as he spoke, "Old Fourth, if there’s anything you haven’t said, speak quickly, He’s not worth your loyalty."

After being silent for a while, Di Liuxin suddenly crumpled, and after a moment seemed drained of all his strength, speaking weakly, "Actually, there’s a bit more I haven’t mentioned."

"Wait a moment."

Wuxian interrupted, casting a glance at Jiang Xinyuan before speaking, "Old Third, call those few over."

Seeing Wuxian’s actions, Di Liuxin really believed the three had truly turned against him, causing his heart to go dead.

So, everything they said was true...

Quan Xiaotong and Yin Wang, even the old Taoist and Mu Zili arrived upon hearing.

For a moment, the dim cabin became quite crowded.

Seeing people arriving, Wuxian then spoke to Di Liuxin, "Speak up! What else?"

Di Liuxin sighed reluctantly, then spoke slowly.

"Actually, I’m not in charge of the Dharma Aspect monsters, I’m just responsible for overseeing them."

Upon hearing this, the old Taoist nearly wanted to kick him, "Good grief, why pretend to be big and bad when you’ve actually been a pawn all along."

Wuxian shook his head, unsurprised by this. Old Fourth’s ability was well-known, and he wouldn’t be surprised by the Celestial Being having him oversee the creation of Dharma Aspect monsters.

Only Old Fourth...

Setting aside Di Liuxin’s capability issues, the group waited for him to continue speaking.

"These were actually created by Him, after the success of the Golden Cicada, He had me specially oversee another five, but I only watched over them for a thousand years, then He took them away."

Hearing this, Wuxian couldn’t help but scold coldly, "Old Fourth, you are truly foolish, why have you never wondered why it’s five, instead of six or ten."

"If you ever thought it through, you’d know those five were meant to replace us."

Similar to Yan Hall, both sides’ Celestial Being had a contingency, or perhaps they were merely pawns on the surface, used for the front line.

Di Liuxin continued, "Golden Cicada’s spell, actually every Dharma Aspect monster has it, but the one He gave me only controls Golden Cicada, but I know He can control the life and death of these Dharma Aspect monsters."

At this moment, Yin Wang couldn’t help but sneer, "Honestly, as an outsider, I even feel like hitting you."

He was unbelievably foolish; all signs pointed to the Celestial Being’s distrust, but even discovering a slight clue, one could see through it all.

No wonder the opposite chose Di Liuxin to be in charge.

Because this guy was indeed foolish enough.

He exchanged glances with Quan Xiaotong, seemingly reminding of their earlier conversation.

Yes, just as he said, the Celestial Dao Sect relied entirely on its foundation.

If not, why hasn’t someone from Yan Hall dared to play this game with him.
