The three of them gazed at the sky’s sea of blood, sighing with relief.
“Your Majesty, now that the Qingzhou Alliance issue has been resolved, I believe all hurdles to Qingzhou’s grand plan have been cleared,” said Zhou Chuanyong, his sturdy frame seeming small next to the white-robed man.
“Not necessarily,” the white-robed king said, shaking his head. “Do you know why I care so much about the Qingzhou Alliance?”
Zhou Chuanyong perked up, eager to know the answer to a question that had lingered in his heart for a while. It puzzled him why the king had overlooked the master of Wuji Mountain, who had caused the Sacred Heart Sect significant trouble, and instead focused on the Qingzhou Alliance, a group of promising yet inexperienced young individuals.
“Because the Supreme One met an interesting young man from Qingzhou who stole the Supreme One’s essence totem,” explained the white-robed king. “This young man didn’t believe in the Supreme One or the Sacred Heart Sect. Most importantly, his cultivation method seemed unique.”

“Someone that even the Supreme One thinks is different?” Zhou Chuanyong questioned, trying to guess the young man’s identity. “What instructions did the Supreme One give?”
“The Supreme One only said one thing: be careful of that young man. If found, he must be delivered alive.”
Yue Yang asked if the Supreme One had been to Qingzhou, to which the king replied, “The Supreme One’s whereabouts are unpredictable, and not something I can discern. But I’m certain he hasn’t been to Qingzhou recently.”
Confused, Yue Yang asked, “Then…How did the sect master meet that young man?”
Zhou Chuanyong replied condescendingly, “The Supreme One’s aura is connected to everything. Wherever believers go, they step on the Supreme One’s path. There’s nothing he can’t do, only things he doesn’t want to.”
Continuing their discussion, Yue Yang pondered if this youth might be in the Qingzhou Alliance, as they have all the talented individuals from Qingzhou.
The white-robed king agreed, chuckling, “If that young man caught the Supreme One’s eye, he must have great fortune. He won’t die easily.”
“It seems we can now eliminate the master of the Qingzhou Alliance.” Yue Yang sighed, his eyes showing a complex emotion. “Even emperors eventually turn to dust in the grand course of time. Those who oppose the natural flow, prodigies or not, will perish.”
The white-robed King looked cold. “Yet, Qingzhou, weak for so long, has now produced two remarkable individuals, Qin Huai and this unknown youth. Could it be a sign of Qingzhou’s rising fortune?”
“My lord, did you select Qingzhou for your plan because you anticipated its changing fate?” The white-robed king muttered and began calculating something with his fingers as he looked into the distance.
Yue Yang rubbed his hands impatiently. “King, about what you mentioned earlier…”
Understanding what the king intended, Zhou Chuanyong immediately responded, “I accept the order!” With a jump, he left the pavilion, his large shadow descending like a small mountain.
The entire pavilion was in shock. A smile tugged at Zhou Chuanyong’s lips. “Kong Binghuang of Wuji Mountain… let’s see where you can run now!”

“Don’t worry, my lord. Though I lack talent, I understand the bigger picture,” Yue Yang reassured him.
“Do you?” Zhou Chuanyong sneered. “Then what about the informant who went against the king and secretly contacted the Qingzhou Alliance? You wouldn’t claim ignorance, would you?”
Yue Yang’s expression turned troubled. “Well… that…” He quickly dropped to his knees, begging, “Please, forgive me!” Follow current s on (f)ire
“Gou Jie, a rare prodigy from the Thousand Divination Tower, had mistakenly joined the Qingzhou Alliance, but he has mended his ways,” Yue Yang explained. “I can swear to it.”
“I asked his father, Gou Xinyue, to send him an ancient book on arrays to help Qin Huai reveal the truth. However, it was actually a trap, intended to push Qin Huai to his doom with the help of the Kun Peng clan! After all, it’s difficult to capture him with his group of talented followers on the vast land. But in the blood sea, nobody can outrun the Kun Peng clan.” Yue Yang’s words were heartfelt, and he was near tears.
Zhou Chuanyong approached Yue Yang step by step. “Then why didn’t you tell me this before? It doesn’t make sense.”
“I… I wasn’t sure I could pull it off. If it failed, wouldn’t the blame fall on me?” replied Yue Yang.
