Chapter 878: Chapter 701: Demon Sect’s Judgment, Earth-Shattering Conspiracy

The plan should be implemented in the later stages.

When Cangyuan Liuye appears seeking revenge on the Demon Emperor, everyone will be able to accept it, as it aligns perfectly with Cangyuan Liuye’s usual way of doing things.

Didn’t the Nineteen Prince say he would deploy the Heavenly Demon Team to destroy Cangyuan?

Cangyuan first destroys your Heavenly Demon Team, doesn’t it make sense?

In this way, everyone’s attention will be focused on the hypothetical Cangyuan Liuye, without questioning whether Cangyuan Liuye is real or fake. There will be no strong reaction to Lin Xiaosu appearing among them.

Moreover, he deliberately wraps himself in a shell of Cangyuan, making everyone in the world hesitate to act against him. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Is there any point in covering oneself with a shell of Cangyuan?

What can be said?

The significance is decisive.

If Lin Xiaosu wasn’t suspected of having a Cangyuan background, do you think the Demon Sect Leader would really care about your Marquis Xueyi identity and thus engage in equal dialogue with you—the Demon Sect Leader is Zhi San, who can sit on par with the Emperor.

If not for considering his Cangyuan background, the Sect Leader wouldn’t even give him a chance to speak.

According to conventional methods, when a department encounters serious problems, the higher-ups are unlikely to publicly disclose the issues of this department, preferring to handle it secretly.

Today’s public interrogation and dealing, seemingly abnormal, actually serve as a "step"—after all, if they can’t take down this Demon Destruction Palace figure, then they owe the people of the Demon Domain an explanation, clearly telling them it’s not the Demon Sect being weak in front of the Cangyuan "culprit," but that the Demon King Palace itself deserves to be destroyed.

This Cangyuan culprit is actually helping the Demon Sect to clean its house.

In this way, both sides save face.

All of this falls within Lin Xiaosu’s calculations; this is truly plotting against people and hearts.

And Cangyuan Liuye’s appearance at the brothel was actually an accident. An excellent strategist always knows how to seize various accidents, turning them into their greatest opportunities.

Lin Xiaosu stands out particularly in this regard.

As he predicted, at this moment within the Demon Sect, above the Demon Hall Holy Hall, the Demon Sect Leader sits with eyes closed, while below, top-level elders are in abundance, discussing the most critical issue.

The core question is simply: Was Su Lin’s move to destroy the Demon King Palace his own intention, or was it Cangyuan’s?

This question is an exceptionally serious one.

The Second Elder, a master strategist, unfolds a lengthy discourse.

His central thought is: This action is obviously Cangyuan’s intention. Otherwise, how could a "World Traveler" have such audacity?

Why would Cangyuan intervene in the Demon King Palace incident?

It’s because Cangyuan realizes that the Heart Dao and Mental Path’s infiltration of the world’s sects is a dangerous thing. If the Heart Dao penetrates too deeply into the sects, it could integrate the entire Cultivation Path, forming an unprecedented behemoth, which might even have the means to challenge Cangyuan.

Cangyuan has always been the sole overlord of the world, unwilling to share the dominion with other superpowers.

Based on this, Cangyuan’s "World Traveler" would definitely act against the Heart Dao, Mental Path, and Heart Pavilion.

This matches Su Lin’s usual style.

As the discussion continues, everyone remains silent, as under this argument, no other viewpoints can hold.

Only those with a high enough standing and a grand enough vision can have such insight...

The Sect Leader’s gaze falls to one side, where there’s an elder behaving oddly. While others engage in the discussion, he does not; he just quietly gazes at the sky, his gaze seemingly connected to the stars above.

"Third Supreme!" the Sect Leader speaks, "What news do you have from over there?"

With one sentence, all discussions below fall silent.

For the "Third Supreme" the Sect Leader refers to is a highly respected Supreme Elder, who has just been in contact with Cangyuan’s main branch.

Third Supreme slowly draws his gaze back from the distance, bowing slightly, "Sect Leader, the people from over there said that Cangyuan has no plans to destroy the Demon King Palace. However, due to Cangyuan Liuye’s elusive movements, contact could not be established, so it is unknown if this Cangyuan Liuye has made any private arrangements."
