Chapter 1385

"If it were just this, it wouldn't be enough for me to suspect you."

"But as it happens, yesterday, the Cihang Jingzhai received another letter, informing them that I had unified the Demonic Sect and become the Holy Emperor of the Demonic Sect."

"Consequently, the matter of Shi Feixuan leading the Four Great Holy Monks to ambush me today occurred."

Zhu Yuyan also understood Su Xuan's meaning and finally found an opening to speak, "Does the Holy Emperor think these things were done by me?"

"Whether it was done by the Demonic Queen, don't you know it in your heart?"

Su Xuan looked at Zhu Yuyan with a half-smile.

Zhu Yuyan felt a panic in her heart.

Su Xuan continued: "The Demonic Queen hates the Evil King Shi Zhixuan to the bone, but her strength is not as good as his. Even if she wants to kill Shi Zhixuan, it is difficult to do so. It is said that in the past, in order to deal with Shi Zhixuan, the Demonic Queen repeatedly sold his whereabouts to righteous people, which led to the Four Great Holy Monks joining forces to ambush Shi Zhixuan. In the end, it even led to the Cihang Jingzhai successor Bi Xiuxin entering the world, only then managing to subdue Shi Zhixuan. And that was more than twenty years ago."

"It is a pity that good times don't last. Although Bi Xiuxin successfully made Shi Zhixuan retire for some years, with Bi Xiuxin's death, Shi Zhixuan stepped back into the jianghu. If it weren't for Bi Xiuxin's death and the reason of his daughter, which brought immense flaws to Shi Zhixuan's heart, he would have already brought disaster to the jianghu..."

Yesterday at the Pichen residence, Zhu Yuyan heard Su Xuan mention the hidden dangers in Shi Zhixuan's body.

Now, she finally knew where the hidden dangers in Shi Zhixuan's body came from.

It was because of Bi Xiuxin, because of his daughter.

It was also because after Bi Xiuxin died, Shi Zhixuan had been in a semi-secluded state. Although he took two disciples, Hou Xibai and Yang Xuyan, Zhu Yuyan had never been able to find Shi Zhixuan's whereabouts, so she did not know the reason for this.

Unfortunately, the current Zhu Yuyan was in no mood to keep these things in mind and ponder them secretly.

Only because, at this moment, she needed to face another huge trouble.

That is... Su Xuan.

"The day Yanfei and Shi Zhixuan found you and revealed their determination to unify the Demonic Sect, you agreed to this because you were no match for Yanfei, and you sent letters to the two sects and six paths of the Demonic Sect, asking them to gather in Luoyang to discuss major events. But in secret, you harbored other ambitions, wanting to take the opportunity to become the leader of the Demonic Sect. Consequently, you sent your junior brother Bian Bufan to secretly meet the Heavenly Lord Xi Ying and form an alliance with him, which is why Xi Ying chose to support you. As for the rest, Pichen supporting you is because Pichen himself is your ally; his daughter is your disciple, a product of your alliance. The only thing that surprised you was probably the Demonic Commander Zhao Deyan supporting you, but this person has always been at odds with Shi Zhixuan, so it is not surprising that he would support you..."

Su Xuan spoke eloquently. Even though many things were just his speculations, he speculated with pinpoint accuracy, stating all of Zhu Yuyan's inner thoughts.

"Besides the many secret hands in the Demonic Sect, in order to deal with Shi Zhixuan, you secretly wrote another letter and sent it to the Cihang Jingzhai anonymously, thereby making the Cihang Jingzhai aware that Shi Zhixuan had appeared in Luoyang."

"The Buddhist holy land, Jingnian Chan Temple, is located in the southern suburbs of Luoyang. Earlier, the Zen Master Liaokong died, and the Cihang Jingzhai had always suspected that this was the work of the Demonic Sect. Now that Shi Zhixuan appeared in Luoyang, it was inevitable that they would make some associations. Consequently, in order to deal with Shi Zhixuan, the Cihang Jingzhai invited the Four Great Holy Monks out."

"If the plan went smoothly, after this grand gathering of the Demonic Sect in Luoyang, you would rely on the support of Pichen, Xi Ying, and others to become the leader of the Holy Sect, and Shi Zhixuan would be eliminated as a result."

"You know Shi Zhixuan very well and know what kind of person he is. With his ambition, he would definitely not be willing to end like this, so he would definitely try to stir up trouble again."

"But you are not afraid of this point, only because the Cihang Jingzhai is the trump card you prepared for Shi Zhixuan."

"At the necessary moment, you only need to sell Shi Zhixuan's latest movements to the Cihang Jingzhai, and there will naturally be people from the Buddhist path to deal with him."

"This is the strategy of driving the wolf to swallow the tiger!"

"Even if Shi Zhixuan has more ambition, with the Cihang Jingzhai people entangling him, it would be extremely difficult for him to do anything. And you, you can take this opportunity to clear out the factions in the Demonic Sect that lean toward Shi Zhixuan, such as An Long's Tianlian Sect, the Huajian Sect, and the Butian Pavilion forces, and truly become the leader of the Demonic Sect."

"It is a pity that plans cannot keep up with changes."

When he said this sentence, Su Xuan looked at Zhu Yuyan somewhat playfully.

The shock in Zhu Yuyan's heart was beyond words. She wanted to defend herself, but facing Su Xuan's playful gaze, the words that reached her lips were ultimately not spoken.

"From the very beginning, you only regarded Shi Zhixuan as your greatest opponent for becoming the leader of the Demonic Sect, thereby ignoring me."

"I didn't expect my strength to be that great."

"First, the Eastern Lord under my command killed the Heavenly Lord Xi Ying, intimidating all of you. Afterward, after I appeared, you were forced by the powerful pressure, in order to survive, to choose to acknowledge me as the Holy Emperor."

"Shi Zhixuan was never your competitor; your competitor is me."

"My becoming the Holy Emperor of the Demonic Sect is something you did not expect, and it disrupted many of your arrangements. At the same time, I also became the biggest stumbling block on your path to revenge against Shi Zhixuan."

"Consequently, last night, you had your disciple Wanwan find me. On the surface, it was to seek my forgiveness, even not hesitating to use the entire Yin Gui Sect as a bargaining chip, so that I would not prevent you from ambushing Shi Zhixuan."

"But in secret, you wrote another letter to the Cihang Jingzhai."

"In the letter, you stated that the two sects and six paths of the Demonic Sect had unified and that I had become the Holy Emperor of the Demonic Sect. Whether the matter is true or false, for the Cihang Jingzhai, the unification of the Demonic Sect is always an unacceptable thing."

"Therefore, the matter of Shi Feixuan leading the Four Great Holy Monks to ambush me today occurred."

After clarifying the whole story, Su Xuan looked at Zhu Yuyan and said: "The only thing you probably didn't expect was that the Cihang Jingzhai would be so impatient and choose to take action against me today."

"But this is not a strange thing either; who told me to kill Liaokong, and who told my people to cripple Ning Daoqi!"
