Stop it, Taoist, Your Fight almost Ruins the DAO!
Chapter 1027 - 551 Loud Conspiracy! The Fall of a Hero, Chen Haichao, Cheers!

Hu Zhu, as the leader with the most substantial strength in the Illumination Organization's actual-lineage, had been in seclusion for many years to slow down the loss of his life essence,

and would not have become so enraged if the Great Qin had not begun a large-scale crackdown and investigation under the order of Ying Si to almost sever their influence on land.

Thus, Hu Zhu's face began to look somewhat displeased by Chen Haichao's repeated speeches that bolstered others' morale and destroyed his own prestige.

"Chen Haichao, I originally thought you were a suave figure of the Demon Sect's generation, but it turns out I was wrong."

"You keep speaking for Yi Chengzi. Could it be that you've been scared witless by the Great Qin State Preceptor?"

Turning his gaze towards the other two cultivators, Hu Zhu, freshly emerged from seclusion, couldn't help but continue cautioning and half-threatening the likes of Dengyunzi and Haidengzi,

"Dengyunzi, Haidengzi, we too climbed out of blades and flames in the same era, stay sharp, don't lose face,

If I remember correctly, your lifespans aren't much more abundant than mine, are they? With Great Qin's aggressive pressure, their gaze is now turning towards the deep sea. Now, we either die fleeing or die fighting, but instead of waiting for death, might as well take a gamble and share all secrets together when the time comes."

Hearing Hu Zhu's words, Dengyunzi also starts to waver, as the desire for lifespan and breakthrough ultimately overpowers the fear within him. He beings to ask the 'Crimson-Robed Landlord':

"Elder Hu Zhu, Ying Si is indeed formidable, do you have any methods to counter him? If I'm not mistaken, even though you, Leader, are also in the Fourth Realm of Breakthrough Limit, your lifespan is not much left. It's not that I want to bolster others' morale or destroy our own prestige, but I fear even you are no match for the Great Qin's Millennium Emperor."

"Not to mention that Great Qin now teems with experts, and even if we combine forces, we're not match for their other forces, let alone that the cunning Yi Chengzi is still lurking in the shadows, unpredictable in his movements."

Gazing at the abnormal bruise revealed on the sleeve of the Crimson-Robed Landlord's robe, the withered old man's face showed deep worry.

"You really don't know what's so terrifying about Yi Chengzi, a young whippersnapper who could make the three of you so wary."

Feeling the loosening tone of someone else, a hint of a smile couldn't help but appear on Hu Zhu's face. He swept his sleeve, picked up the Spiritual Tea from the case table for a light sip, and then coldly chuckled:

"Chen Haichao, Dengyunzi, Haidengzi, you three are blinded by a leaf and fail to see Mount Tai."

"Great Qin is strong, but it's also big, isn't it? Now that Great Qin wants to unify the Human Realm and create an unprecedentedly prosperous era, let's just do the opposite."

"How do you plan to oppose them?" At this moment, Haidengzi couldn't help but become curious, developing some interest in Hu Zhu's new plan.

"It's simple, one word: kill!"

"Raise corpses, poison, drive Sea Beasts, you three act separately to plunge Great Qin into chaos everywhere. Those major cities are heavily guarded, with Great Formations for protection, and it's easy to be targeted by others' strategies. Focus on those medium and small sized cities."

"With your abilities, cultivation, to throw Great Qin into chaos in a short time is as easy as flipping a hand, it's just that previously, we couldn't get past this step in our hearts. Now that Great Qin is pressuring us aggressively, since they won't let us live peacefully, then we really have no need to talk any sense of morality with them."

"Let Great Qin fall into chaos. Those Sect cultivators, upon seeing this, would only be happy to see it happen, eager for Great Qin's misfortune. Now that we have so few interests left on land, we might as well go all out, anyway the pots and pans we break aren't ours to begin with."

"Once Great Qin descends into turmoil, they'll surely dispatch troops, and the experts within Sea Dragon City will be drawn out, including Yi Chengzi who would emerge to hunt us down. They think this is our last madness, but little do they know our real target is actually Yi Chengzi's kin, this is the principle of 'appear weak when you are strong, and strong when you are weak.'"

"Since we're playing a big game, let's play even bigger!"

Hu Zhu's measured voice echoed in the Crystal Palace, and as he spoke, the savagely resolute look on his face grew ever more intense.

For a moment, Dengyunzi and the others were left speechless, looking at one another.

What the four men didn't notice was that at this moment, within the Crystal Palace, the shadows cast down by the bronze palace lamp began to quiver subtly. Suddenly, the shadows extended and grew, morphing into a commanding and imposing shadow, melding with the other shadows within the palace.

"Dengyunzi, Chen Haichao, I know you can't make this decision, you're afraid that I, in the end, shall betray you."

"But there's no need to be afraid, to show my sincerity, I'm willing to swear a Heavenly Dao Blood Oath with you. If we get Yi Chengzi's secrets, cultivation techniques, I will certainly share them with you. But the spoils from this raid, I want sixty percent."

Observing the hesitation on Dengyunzi's face, the leader of the actual-lineage, Hu Zhu, flipped his hand to produce a Blood-Colored Scroll, smiling as he tossed out another bargaining chip.

He had been waiting far too long, with not many years left to live. Now that Great Qin was crazily exterminating the influence of the Illumination Organization, without the supply of precious resources, he would only decline more rapidly.

Fourth Realm of Breakthrough Limit was already his limit; he could even smell the rotten stench emanating from the depths of his own soul.

"Is this the Blood Oath Scroll? Wasn't this item supposed to have vanished after the last Heaven and Earth True Spirit beast was slain? I had no idea Elder Hu Zhu would possess such a rare treasure."
