Chapter 2736 - 50: Do Not Lean Alone on the Lofty Feiyun Tower (Part 3)

Zhu Zheng also frowned, "Does Your Highness think that Lu Qilang has also noticed something?"

"His natural spirit perception is terrifying; the moment he entered The Sky Sloth Wilderness, he sensed opportunities," Zhu Lanruo sighed. "Couple that with the title of the Inspiration King, and it threw that fool Yu Xin into disarray, causing him to inadvertently reveal his secrets. How could someone as smart as Lu Qilang not notice?"

Was there any need for Yu Xin to hint that there were secrets on She Guyu?

If he were smart, he wouldn’t have said anything to offend Lu Qilang.

If he were foolish, he would act silently without a word.

Yet he is caught in between, not smart enough, not foolish enough! He himself harbors secrets and was scared by the Inspiration King’s deliberately probing mention of "opportunity," prompting him to react to divert attention.

Little did he know that Lu Qilang accepted Zhu Zheng’s invitation to the banquet and, during the feast, actively talked about opportunities, as a way to probe with his spirit perception, waiting for a reaction!

Unfortunately, it wasn’t until now that Zhu Lanruo understood.

If they had known in advance that Lu Qilang’s spirit perception had sensed Shenxiao Secret Cache, she would never have let Yu Xin attend the banquet, nor would she have allowed Zhu Zheng to observe Lu Qilang.

While observing the target, they were also being observed by the target. As the hosts, they should have held the upper hand and gathered more useful information. But because of Yu Xin’s foolishness, this banquet at Feiyun Tower was evidently a loss for them.

Zhu Zheng thought for a moment, still confident: "Even if Lu Qilang’s spirit perception sensed something, it’s because of Yu Xin that he confirmed something. But he certainly won’t know specific information and is not adequately prepared for Shenxiao Secret Cache... He can’t compete with us."

Zhu Lanruo smiled, "That’s exactly what I think. Let him cause a stir and draw away more attention; it wouldn’t hurt at all. We just need to control the intensity, so we don’t attract the entire forces of the Divine Scented Deer Family."

Zhu Zheng lowered his head, "I understand."

When he looked up again, Zhu Lanruo had already disappeared.

"Brother... brother."

Gazing at the ripples in the wine in his cup, he softly repeated these words and couldn’t help but sigh, "Even when I know these are just your ways to keep us in line, it still feels satisfying to hear."

...

Teaching Yuan Laoxi, guiding Pig Dali, reprimanding Chai Asi.

It was a calm and peaceful day.

The Dragon and Tiger Ginseng was indeed remarkable; after consuming a piece, the blood energy of the great Ancient God was greatly restored. Chai Asi used some ginseng whiskers, and the effect was excellent as well.

Truly a win-win.

Unfortunately, Yuan Xiaoqing’s resources were not abundant; even if she emptied her father’s private stash, she wouldn’t be able to bring a second piece.

Asking her to take all of Yuan Laoxi’s entire wealth wouldn’t be necessary. After all, what Yuan Laoxi has also belongs to the great Ancient God.

This is what they call taking from the private store while keeping the public treasury untouched.

Hiding in the vast and empty Mirror World for months without being able to fully devote to cultivation, always needing to stay vigilant... That kind of loneliness can drive a person mad.

Just like solitary confinement is one of the most intimidating punishments in prison.

But Jiang Wang, unwavering in resolve, wouldn’t be disturbed by this at all.

At this moment, he held a pen, writing and drawing on paper.

This period of investigation has yielded some results; some information was simply in plain sight, just that the ordinary members of the Demon clan wouldn’t pay attention to it.

He first wrote down three forces: Black Lotus Temple, Divine Scented Deer Family, Tianxi Spider Family.

Then he noted down figures: the mysterious Demon King of Black Lotus Temple, the new king on the Heavenly List, Lu Qilang, the Heavenly Demon Zhu Yi, and the True Monster Zhu Xuan.

Next, he noted down events: The Black Lotus Temple’s missionary hall being destroyed, the Inspiration King Lu Qilang pursuing the Red Moon King She Guyu for ten thousand miles, the unrestricted martial arts competition on the Golden Sun Platform covering three domains.

Thinking again, he added "Ape Family," "Dog Family," "Yu Family," as well as "Yu Xin, Yuan Mengji pursuing Zhu Lanruo," "Quan Xihua replacing Quan Xizai," and "The True Monster Quan Yingyang’s conflicts with the Ape Family, Yu Family, and even Spider Family due to Quan Xizai’s disappearance."

Knowing he was not Zhongxuan Sheng, without that kind of wisdom to see through crucial elements at a glance, he used this method to write leads and slowly outline inspiration.

With this view, the ripples he stirred in the turbulent Mo Yun City recently were clearly visible.

If not for him, how could Quan Xihua have risen to power? Why would Quan Yingyang come all the way from Zhaoyun Peak to Mo Yun City? And the missionary activities of the Black Lotus Temple should be thriving.

If Heavenly Will is like water, then the ripples can be traced, and how the returning waves should be predicted... is also possible to foretell...

Jiang Wang clearly felt that his understanding of Heavenly Will was growing deeper.

Though sometimes the more knowledge one gains, the more confusions and unknowns arise, but ultimately for his cultivation, it’s a form of progress.

Just as he was pondering, he suddenly sensed something.

Jiang Wang stopped the pen instantly, changing to a sword in hand.

Cautiously observing outside the mirror, he discovered—

A female demon with a smile and a slender figure, floating as she moved, slipped into the room from nowhere, suddenly rolled herself under the bed, curling into an incredibly small ball.

Breath disappearing, blood flowing silently, her presence fell into complete silence.

The entire process was spotless, traceless, silent and without a sound.

Jiang Wang: ?
