Chapter 2088: Framing the Wu Clan!

Sister Xuanming was also stunned, and it took them a long while to recover their wits.

"What are you staring at? Let's go quickly."

Di Jiang patted the heads of Sister Xuanming and Sister Houtu and said, "We know what you're thinking, but we must leave as soon as possible—unless we can get out, all thoughts are useless."

Sister Houtu and Sister Xuanming's faces flushed instantly, but the color quickly faded, for they had to leave at once.

As long as they remained on Penglai Immortal Island, as long as the Illusory Heaven Mirror's trial had not been broken, they would be trapped forever within its illusionary array.

Clearly, the Twelve Ancestral Wus had no such intention—they had Luo Fu to help them.

Luo Fu is the very fortune of the entire Honghuang!

This is not what the Twelve Ancestral Wus believe, but what the beings beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens believe—this had already been established since Luo Fu's emergence, just as it was with Hong Yun.

They could do nothing about Hong Yun's affair; now they could only rely on Hong Yun himself.

Moreover, the Wus knew Hong Yun was a man who repaid kindness, so they need not act—so long as Hong Yun succeeded in his cultivation, that would suffice.

Kunpeng understood that Shang Yang and the others acted for the sake of the Yao Clan, which was why Kunpeng devised the plan.

In truth, Kunpeng himself wished to escape these affairs, which was why he spoke as he did.

If he could free himself from Hong Yun's constraints, Kunpeng believed he could carve out a name for himself in the Yao Clan—but he did not know how to break free within the Yao Clan.

Moreover, if Kunpeng could resolve the disaster caused by the Ten Yao Sages, it would prove his strength.

The Yao Master Kunpeng was not granted the title of Yao Master for nothing.

"Since Kunpeng says so, perhaps we can think of a way to lessen the impact of the Guiche incident on the Yao Clan!"

Shang Yang knew that some things should not be spoken of at such a time, but what needed doing must still be done.

Originally, it was already good enough if anyone could think of anything—but now?

Feidan smiled and said, "It's simple enough: as long as the Wus cannot prove they didn't attack Guiche, we can make them swallow bitter gall—unable to speak, unable to complain."

Kunpeng held the same thought; he met Feidan's gaze.

"We share the same idea."

Aside from Yingzhao, the other Yao Sages felt the same—Ji Meng and Feilian were still pouring all their efforts into saving Guiche; as long as Guiche survived this crisis, that was enough.

The Yao Clan cannot afford to lose Guiche, a mighty general!

After all, the Wus are now advancing in full force; if they lose Guiche, the Yao Clan may lose a crucial chance to assert dominance.

"He must be saved!"

"No matter what it takes, Guiche must be saved—absolutey no opening for the Wus to exploit."

Thinking this, Feilian knew that now, no one in the Yao Court was in charge, and no one else could intervene—so they could only ask whether any opportunity existed.

Besides, Feilian and Ji Meng did not fully understand what was happening on Penglai Immortal Island, and they should not pry too deeply.

Even if they knew, Guiche was the priority now—only after saving Guiche could they make him reveal what he had said before.

In short, Guiche was merely a pawn!

This upheaval was Guiche's fault, a crisis for the Yao Clan—but also an opportunity; if they could use it as Yao Master Kunpeng suggested, the tide could still be turned.
