Journey to the West: Sun Wukong's Advice System-Chapter 750 - 470 Alliance and Conspiracy_3

Suddenly, Zhu Geliang’s expression shifted subtly, and his figure vanished instantly.

Immediately after, the broken sword appeared in front of Zhu Geliang, who had transformed into the guise of Xiu Yuan.

"Lord Undying!"

"Where is Hao Ran?" Undying frowned within the mirror.

"Reporting to your lordship, the broken sword was acting strangely, and your mirror image suddenly cut off. Hao Ran thought some mishap had occurred and fled immediately. Please, you must punish him severely!" Zhu Geliang said righteously, his expression agitated.

"Xiu Yuan, do not slander me!"

At this moment, Hao Ran arrived.

Although he had passed the hot potato, the broken sword, to Zhu Geliang, ready to blame him if anything went wrong,

he had been constantly monitoring the unusual activity of the broken sword, so as soon as Undying appeared, Hao Ran came immediately.

Now that Sword Immortal had become Supreme, if Sword Immortal found him, he was certain to die.

What he could do now was to also hasten his breakthrough to achieve the position of the Supreme.

Thus, his hope was pinned on Undying.

This backer could not be lost.

"My lord, do not listen to his nonsense. I merely intended to probe the reality of the Primordial, and out of trust, I entrusted the broken sword to Xiu Yuan’s care, not expecting him to turn the situation against me, fortunately, I reacted in time." Hao Ran hastily said.

"Enough, enough, I didn’t come here to listen to you quarrel." Undying said impatiently.

These two fools, just looking at them was annoying. If it weren’t for the lack of suitable candidates, he would have crushed them long ago.

"My lord, have you thought of a strategy?" Zhu Geliang urgently asked.

The scene he had just performed was all an act, the accusations against Hao Ran, the false charges; if it were really Xiu Yuan, he would definitely have done the same.

It was also to prevent Hao Ran from detecting any flaws.

The Holy Emperor Hao Ran likewise felt that such actions were typical of the conniving Xiu Yuan.

In essence, they were both plotting against each other!

"I already have a plan. You two go and find me a suitable creature of the Primordial, and I will set my arrangements in him." Undying said.

"This person must be of poor talent, treated unfairly, and hold significant grudges against people, things, Fate, and even against the Primordial itself."

In the Youhai Domain, he stirred the essence of the domain, maximising its operation; at last, he found the suitable method.

Simply put, he would craft a narrative himself, acting as a magical benefactor of sorts, guiding this person’s growth under his control, then using him to climb to a high position in the Primordial and uncover more secrets.

This method was indeed clever.

The initial cost was low and it was not likely to be detected.

"This method is brilliant, my lord. If successful, at least half of the Primordial’s secrets could be uncovered, though it will take some time." Hao Ran flattered.

"A thousand years, I will invest all the resources at my disposal, sparing no expense to craft this pawn into a Saint Emperor! If this venture succeeds, I shall record great merits for you both!" Undying declared, not forgetting to incentivize Zhu Geliang and the other.

Yet even for a being like him, raising a Saint Emperor in a thousand years was actually very challenging, requiring a significant investment of resources.

To cultivate a Saint Emperor like this would demand ten times or even a hundred times the resources of an ordinary Saint Emperor, even consuming treasures that even the Supreme would be loath to part with.

But considering the Primordial and the expected return, Undying felt it was all worthwhile.

"You two do your jobs well, and there will be benefits for you in the future, but... if you harbor any devious thoughts..." the pressure emanating from the Undying’s mirror image overwhelmed Zhu Geliang and Hao Ran, leaving them gasping for air.

"Yes!" Zhu Geliang and Hao Ran said in unison.
