Chapter 1029: Chapter 456: Human Emperor Banner Revival Plan

"With Blood Robe’s strength, Xiao Lu’s intelligence, and my wisdom, this battle, I must snatch 1,000 battle achievements," Sister Niujiao said happily.

She sounded as if the victory was already in her grasp.

"Blood Robe, you are highly talented, so you’ll be the group leader in our team, and Ziyuan Xiaolu, with your meticulous mind, you’ll be the group leader’s assistant. You two start discussing—I’m going back to sleep. Call me if you need anything." After saying that, Ziyuan Daxue yawned and left.

She was fine with fighting, but when it came to discussing and laying out battle plans, her head hurt.

Seeing this, Qi Yuan was not surprised.

If this were a university assignment, Qi Yuan, as the group leader, would be responsible for the high-level, overarching aspects.

Ziyuan Xiaolu would be in charge of making the PowerPoint presentation.

Ziyuan Daxue would then deliver the presentation.

Heaven Prides around them began forming their teams.

An Xunlu looked at the cheerful Ziyuan Xiaolu with a sense of irritation that she couldn’t quite place.

If Ziyuan Xiaolu was happy, then she was upset.

"Sigh, Brother Black Sword is truly too powerful. At the Ultimate Reasoning and Discourse Assembly, he comprehended a Supreme Ultimate Reasoning, unparalleled in elegance, while we could only look up to him from below. He’s really too cool!" An Xunlu said, probably having glanced at Ziyuan Xiaolu and Qi Yuan.

The meaning was obvious.

Her admired Brother Black Sword was the top among the young generation in the Black Demon Abyss.

The rest could only look up to him.

"Who understands, huh? That’s a Supreme Ultimate Reasoning. Brother Black Sword and us, we are simply not from the same world.

Some even compared others to Brother Black Sword in the past, which was truly laughable."

"Ah ah ah, who understands it anyway! I certainly don’t!" Ziyuan Xiaolu exclaimed loudly.

Her words caught An Xunlu off-guard.

She glared at Ziyuan Xiaolu furiously, "Brother Black Sword is striving for great achievements, unlike someone...who can only earn merits."

"The master shoots a wolf and the servant puffs out his chest proudly?" Ziyuan Xiaolu was just as sharp with her comebacks.

Despite usually looking shy and gentle, when it came to a verbal fight with An Xunlu, she was fully aggressive.

"Let’s go, Xiao Lu, we need to find a secluded place to devise a great plan.

Otherwise, if others copy us, we’ll be at a big disadvantage," Qi Yuan said as he tugged at Ziyuan Xiaolu’s sleeve to leave.

An Xunlu and the other Heaven Prides watched them go, rendered speechless.

Only Senior Brother Ice Sword sighed in relief. With these two plagues gone, he finally dared to speak up and pose.

Inside the cave dwelling, Qi Yuan set up a hundred Formations.

"Alright, now even if a Supreme Venerable wanted to eavesdrop, they wouldn’t know what we’re doing inside!" Qi Yuan said, clapping his hands.

As the saying goes, those who plan great things hide their intentions and act without revealing. Secrecy leads to success; loose lips lead to failure.

So, he hadn’t leaked his plans to hunt the Sun God and obtain great achievements.

Although he had mentioned it to that Sun God earlier, he didn’t reveal the core of his plan, so it wasn’t considered a breach.

Ziyuan Xiaolu, seeing Qi Yuan so close to her, blushed slightly, clutching at the hem of her clothes.

"Don’t be afraid. No matter how loudly you shout, the Great Ultimate Reasoning won’t be able to hear it," Qi Yuan comforted Ziyuan Xiaolu as he noticed her nervousness.

The more he comforted her, the more Ziyuan Xiaolu blushed, feeling dizzy.

Truth be told... the cave dwelling was too cramped... no, the bed was too small.

To prevent eavesdropping by Supreme Venerables, Qi Yuan had set up many Formations inside the cave.

For security and efficiency, the smaller the space, the better.

So, the only safe place was a bed.

She could even feel Senior Brother Blood Robe’s breath on her, and coupled with his somewhat ambiguous words, she really was blushing and her heart was racing.

"Come on, let’s start formulating the plan. This plan... it should have a great name.

Let’s call it... the Human Emperor Banner Resurgence Plan!" Qi Yuan said proudly.

He found that ever since he understood the Supreme Ultimate Reasoning, his mind had become more agile.

His skills in naming things had risen to a higher level as well.

"Huh?" Ziyuan Xiaolu was confused.

Weren’t they going to fight the enemy?

What’s this Human Emperor Banner Resurgence Plan?

What is the Human Emperor Banner?

"I know you don’t have a brilliant brain like mine and don’t understand the greatness of this plan.

But no worries, you just need to provide me with information or make the PowerPoint," Qi Yuan explained.

Ziyuan Xiaolu, only half understanding, nodded.

"First step of the plan, list the number and names of the Sun Gods participating in the battle from Ghost Domination Heaven, as well as their approximate locations," Qi Yuan said to Ziyuan Xiaolu.

Ziyuan Xiaolu always had astounding information.

The details of the Sun Gods participating in the battle were public knowledge, and one could collect that information if they were diligent.

Of course, that was only the information available to the public; as for what lay hidden, that was beyond what Ziyuan Xiaolu knew.

Upon hearing this, Ziyuan Xiaolu opened her mouth slightly.

Did Senior Brother Blood Robe really intend to take action against a Sun God?

But considering Senior Brother Blood Robe’s personality, it was probably just talk.

However, since it was Senior Brother Blood Robe’s business, she had to take it seriously no matter what.

"In this battle, Ghost Domination Heaven has five Realm of Ultimate Reasoning experts supervising, and twenty-eight Heavenly Position Sun Gods in command, positioned at Dragon War Star..." Ziyuan Xiaolu listed the locations and openly available information of these Sun Gods.

"Okay, the second step of the plan, the hunting moment!" Qi Yuan’s eyes brimmed with murderous intent, mixed with a hint of greed.

Those Banners of Ten Thousand Souls, left in Ghost Domination Heaven, were like Sadako bringing calamity to the living, but only by coming to Qi Yuan’s side could they become Sadako of the people.

Ziyuan Xiaolu hurriedly said upon hearing this, "Senior Brother Blood Robe, you must be careful, don’t take any risks, and don’t reveal your whereabouts. We have a traitor within the Black Demon Abyss!"

"A traitor?" Qi Yuan was momentarily stunned.

Then he saw Ziyuan Xiaolu speak with a worried heart, "Senior Brother Blood Robe, the ambush you and Black Sword Senior Brother experienced last time definitely involved the traitor’s help, otherwise... your movements wouldn’t be so easily exposed.

So, in this battle against Ghost Domination Heaven, the traitor might still be among us!"

The existence of a traitor was not a big secret among those Heaven Prides.

Even the higher-ups knew there was a traitor.

They just didn’t know who the traitor was.

Or perhaps, it was even possible that they were allowing it to happen, creating a few more escape routes for themselves."

"Who is the traitor?"

"I don’t know, but the traitor will definitely be paying attention to you, intentionally or not.

Senior Brother Blood Robe, you just need to watch and wait, and you might just discover who the traitor is."

"It seems the second step of the plan should be corrected, to expose the traitor!" After some thought, Qi Yuan decided it was best to root out the traitor first.

That way, he could even use the traitor as bait to fish.

"Ah, Senior Brother, do you have a way to find out the traitor?" Ziyuan Xiaolu blinked her eyes.

"Isn’t it simple? When the time comes, I’ll find Ziyuan Daxue, look for any excuse to meet with the Sun God of our Black Demon Abyss, and just asking will reveal the truth," Qi Yuan said with full confidence.

Seeing Senior Brother Blood Robe’s demeanor, Ziyuan Xiaolu became even more puzzled.

Could it be that Senior Brother Blood Robe had some unique skill or possessed some secret art?

"Senior Brother Blood Robe, should I come along too? I’m really curious," Ziyuan Xiaolu wanted to know how exactly Qi Yuan was going to find the traitor.

After all, even those old ancestors couldn’t find the traitor.

"Sure, no problem," Qi Yuan patted his chest, "All right, the second step of the plan is decided. We start with the third step, which shall be called the hunting moment.

The fourth step, we’ll call the revival of the Human Emperor Banner."

Ziyuan Xiaolu nodded, "Shall we... make the plan a bit more detailed?"

"What’s more detailed? Isn’t it already very precise and detailed?" Qi Yuan was puzzled.

"...Is this the entire plan?" Ziyuan Xiaolu blinked her eyes, utterly shocked.

To think a few spoken words qualify as a plan?

Then she too could devise a plan to become the Supreme Venerable.

The first step, break through to the Sun God.

The second step, comprehend the Supreme Ultimate Reasoning and become the Supreme Venerable.

The third step, have Senior Brother Blood Robe join her family.

"Oh, I get it, you think the plan isn’t detailed enough, lacking time and date?

For such a big event, things change in the blink of an eye; we can’t control time, so it’s better not to write it down," Qi Yuan said earnestly.

Ziyuan Xiaolu understood, this was the whole plan.

She stuck out her small tongue, "Xiao Lu understands now."

She felt a bit foolish.

The plan to hunt the Sun God was just a game.

It doesn’t matter if it’s simplistic, why did she take it seriously?

"Xiao Lu, I know you can keep a secret. Today’s grand plan must not be leaked, understand?" Qi Yuan said seriously, "Right, Ziyuan Daxue is part of our team, you can tell her."

"Okay!" Ziyuan Xiaolu still nodded earnestly, covering her mouth with her hand.

"Go see Ziyuan Daxue, and we’ll start implementing the second step of the plan. Have her find an excuse so that we can visit the Sun God Heavenly Venerables together," Qi Yuan instructed.

As for the traitor who exposed his whereabouts, he had already taken note of them.

When the time was right, he would send the traitor to meet with the real ghost.

"Alright, I’m going to find Sister Daxue right now!" Ziyuan Xiaolu left in a rush.

About a day passed, and Qi Yuan appeared on the streets of Devil’s Pass.

He looked at Ziyuan Daxue and Ziyuan Xiaolu, one tall and one short, each holding a steaming bamboo basket, and couldn’t help but feel speechless.

"Are you sure this is how we’re going to meet the Sun God Heavenly Venerables?"

"What’s wrong with this method? I don’t believe any of the Sun God Heavenly Venerables could refuse!" Ziyuan Daxue said proudly.

She opened the bamboo basket wide, and suddenly, steam billowed out with an enveloping fragrance.

Qi Yuan took a closer look and saw that inside the basket were... bizarre eggs.

"Black Sword Senior Brother’s Ice Sword laid an Ice Egg, which I, Ziyuan Daxue, chanced upon!

So, I’ve boiled this peculiar item and decided to honor the Sun God Heavenly Venerables with it out of filial piety. How could they refuse?" Ziyuan Daxue said earnestly.

Qi Yuan pondered upon hearing this, "That’s indeed quite interesting.

If someone said Ice Sword was laying eggs, I too would have to go out and see what they were like.

However, this plan isn’t perfect; these are just ordinary eggs.

Given the name Ice Sword, they should be Ice Eggs!"

With a wave of his hand, the eggs in the basket instantly transformed into Ice Eggs.

"Not bad, perfect," Qi Yuan said with pride.

The translucent eggs looked high-end at a glance.

"Add some packaging, and they’re the best gifts."

As Qi Yuan spoke, he waved his hand, and the bamboo basket changed into a gift box.

Ziyuan Daxue looked up at Qi Yuan, blinking, "You’re actually this emotionally intelligent?"

"That’s the difference between you and me," Qi Yuan boasted, "For Daxue to encounter me, it’s like a mayfly glimpsing the vast sky!"

Ziyuan Xiaolu stood by, covering her mouth, silently feeling sorry for Senior Brother Ice Sword.
