Capítulo 1415: Chapter 896: Submit to and Let Us Share Family Bliss Together (Part 2)
He smiled faintly and said, “Your Highness the Crown Prince has truly prepared a grand gift for this ti.”
Baili An, with a clear mind, guessed that this person must be Gu Sansong, the Alliance Hierarch of the Wandao Immortal Alliance.
“Oh? It seems Alliance Hierarch Gu is waiting here to make accusations?”
Gu Sansong twirled incense with his fingers, the genuine aning in his smiling eyes hard to discern: “I bestowed upon Your Highness the six Spirit Roots, aiding you to reach great heights and achieve the Dao. You made an agreent with , supposed to reciprocate; yet why… the journey to the Central Netherworld, is so disappointing?”
Baili An reversed roles, adopting Ying Xiu’s usual stance with a cold laugh and counterattacked:
“On this point, I would rather have Alliance Hierarch Gu dispel my confusion. I had already formulated a comprehensive plan, one bound to succeed.
Who would have thought the Wandao Immortal Alliance raised a bunch of shady demonic cultivators? I wish to inquire, Alliance Hierarch Gu, what are your intentions?!”
Gu Sansong raised his deep eyes, gazing at Baili An’s face for a long ti: “Does Your Highness the Crown Prince truly believe the failure was due to those demonic cultivators like Zhong Han?”
Baili An glared angrily: “Isn’t it so?”
Gu Sansong snickered: “A bunch of demons doesn’t have the capability to overturn the ga I set.”
Baili An sneered repeatedly: “Alliance Hierarch Gu, do you intend to tell you know nothing of those demonic cultivators like Zhong Han?
They’re from your Wandao Immortal Alliance, all your key subordinates. Now, does Alliance Hierarch Gu wish to feign ignorance, washing his hands clean?”
“You are right, Your Highness.”
Gu Sansong lowered his head to savor his tea, depths of his gaze inscrutable: “Whether I know about Zhong Han and the others is irrelevant.
What’s important is the perception of the world, sharing the sa thoughts with Your Highness, this matter… is inseparably linked to .”
His gaze fell upon the ink-colored tea, a curious smile spreading on his face:
“Initially, within the You Dynasty, with Shen Tu as an opponent worthy of my attention, who’d have expected there’d be an unexpected player behind the scenes.
Being able to secretly insert demonic cultivators like Zhong Han into my Wandao Immortal Alliance, this person has so skill.”
Gu Sansong was aware of Shen Tu’s deep, non-trivial ambitions within the Royal Hall.
Yet he also grasped Shen Tu’s mindset, knowing his particular concern for succession in the Central Netherworld.
With Ying Xiu as a pawn, Shen Tu would naturally concede and support Ying Xiu’s rise.
The troublemaker behind the scenes, surely couldn’t be Shen Tu.
Still, there was an aspect that demanded attention.
Gu Sansong looked at Baili An, seemingly amused: “What intrigues is, after Zhong Han’s lethal move costing over a thousand lives, this amount of blood debt sufficient to topple Your Highness.
How did Your Highness retreat from the You Dynasty unscathed after failing to seize power? I know the temperant of Ying Ji the Empress exceedingly well.
If you were genuine, even if you subverted the entire Central Netherworld, she might let you run rampant without restraint.
But since you’re not the real one, with a stolen appearance causing turmoil in the You Dynasty, she’d want you dead with a single strike, how co you’re still secure?
Ha, better not tell , Your Highness had a conspiracy with that person behind the scenes, causing the Wandao Immortal Alliance this big blunder.”
Gu Sansong, truly a cunning old fox, hard to deal with.
He’d already unearthed the truth that Ying Xiu wasn’t the real Crown Prince of the Central Netherworld, what secrets does the Wandao Immortal Alliance still hold from the world?
Baili An sneered coldly and said, “Even collaborating with Alliance Hierarch Gu enables to retain the Crown Prince position. Inheriting the throne and working with the person behind the scenes would be exposing weaknesses, no benefits at all.
As for whether the Central Netherworld Empress Ying Ji will kill … heh, I’ve been bouncing around in front of her for years, if she intended to kill , she’d have done it long ago, why wait until now?”
Originally, Gu Sansong believed Ying Xiu was cornered and destitute three years ago.
If his motive was to sche against the Wandao Immortal Alliance, the cost of such plotting was too high.
Moreover, he watched Ying Xiu plant those ominous six Spirit Roots, with not much ti left to live.
He had reason to suspect Ying Xiu might be causing trouble, but that might not be the case.
However, Gu Sansong was naturally suspicious, even now he couldn’t help but probe further.
Yet he couldn’t anticipate, the Crown Prince before him is no longer the one he thought.
Amidst so many doubts, he could trust Ying Xiu wasn’t plotting but couldn’t confirm if he was truly serving the Wandao Immortal Alliance.
Gu Sansong rotated the teacup in his hand, suppressing the smile in his eyes, calmly said: “Even so, Your Highness seems to have forgotten our agreent?”
“Are you referring to the Central Netherworld province?”
“Why play dumb, Your Highness, the Central Netherworld province is indeed important to the Wandao Immortal Alliance, but what’s in my heart isn’t that…”
He spoke partially, leaving Baili An to speculate unknowingly about their agreent.
Gu Sansong’s fingers rested on the yellow wooden table, lightly tapping his knuckles: “It seems Ying Xiu doesn’t regard my affairs seriously, the re Central Netherworld province isn’t worth my heavy investnt in Your Highness…
Baili An felt a chill in his heart, facing Gu Sansong, montarily feeling as though he was seen through.
This seemingly ordinary dialogue concealed probing intent, raising suspicion about his identity.
Baili An didn’t know when he exposed a flaw, but maintained composure, his eyes unflinching as he looked at the other.
In the blink of an eye, he coldly laughed, sat on a worn-out stool, brushing his robes aside.
“All the people Alliance Hierarch Gu gave have been killed off cleanly by your alliance’s infighting.
Even with support from the Royal Hall, the odds are against , with five Yin Kings guarding Empress Ying Ji.
If Alliance Hierarch Gu expects to fulfill the agreent, that’s overly optimistic.”
This old fox harbored grand ambitions, if he dismisses the Central Netherworld province, the only target left is Ying Ji’s life.
“Do you an Ying Xiu hasn’t set foot on the ninth step of the Political Hall yet to plead for an audience?”
Gu Sansong regrettably said, “Or perhaps, at this point, does Your Highness still have feelings preventing you from acting against Empress Ying Ji?
Frankly, she rely sees you as a substitute, why cling to nonexistent old ties?”
Baili An was about to speak, but found Gu Sansong looking at him aningfully again, falsely kindly said: “On reflection, since Your Highness lost parental bonds young, yearning and longing for maternal ties is natural.
Your Highness is inherently virtuous and kind, how can I compel you continuously, cooperation fears mutual distrust.
Let’s leave it, I never intended to take Ying Ji’s life. At this juncture, I’ll give Your Highness another promise.”
Gu Sansong played coy, smiling as he pulled out two purple Divine Talismans from his bosom: “These talismans are nad ‘Huai Sha’ and ‘Shuo Ri.’ Your Highness needs to bring these to the Central Netherworld at an opportune ti, planting them respectively at the Nine Nethers Spring Eye and within the Empress Palace.
I will trigger the talismans from afar, harnessing the force of a vast desert tower to suppress Ying Ji’s soul, using the ‘Shuo Ri’ talisman to sever ties between the Central Netherworld and the Nine Nethers.
With the Taiyin Emperor unable to assist, once I capture Ying Ji, even the Ancient Venerable Immortal couldn’t act rashly, forced to ally with .
Then, I will regard Your Highness as my own, offering endless enjoynt of familial harmony with Empress Ying Ji.”
Baili An was indeed stunned by this ingenious sche.
He never imagined this old scher intended to pursue such a course.
He didn’t want to take Ying Ji’s life but wanted to marry her outright.
