Chapter 301: 301. If you can’t win, flip the table

[Maze★: Transforms the surrounding space into a maze, Duration: 48 hours, Cooldown: thirty days]

Fang Zhou had an odd expression, surprisingly drawing a Ground Card, but as for the size, it seems necessary to use it to know.

This is neither a skill nor a consumable item, it should be considered special equipment.

If used well, it can turn the tide; if used poorly, it will only harm oneself and others, acting as a group wipe tool. Its value depends on usage.

Overall, it meets expectations; after all, it’s a blue card. Even if a Golden Legend appears, it’s impossible to draw an artifact from it.

Fang Zhou put away the Ground Card and then left the gourd space.

...

Late at night, the sky was snowing lightly, and the streets were peaceful.

Occasionally, a pedestrian walked by, leaving a long footprint in the snow on the ground.

Sanwa sat in a private room in the teahouse beside the street, the only teahouse nearby still open late at night. The burning charcoal kept the cold at bay.

Yet, the temperature was still somewhat cold. Sanwa wrapped herself in a mink coat, drinking piping hot tea.

Before long, the door to the private room was pushed open. Fang Zhou folded a paper umbrella and walked in slowly.

His clothing was notably thin, compared to Sanwa, as if he had just walked in from summer.

"You’re late."

Sanwa said grumpily to Fang Zhou.

"I was helping an old man cross the street, got held up for a bit."

Fang Zhou said something causing Sanwa to roll her eyes and sat across from her.

In recent times, the two had secretly met several times, somewhat feeling like an affair, but discussing the True Mother God Sect’s hideout.

Sanwa was arranged by Fang Zhou to investigate and monitor, having long since figured out the situation at that mansion.

The mansion’s owner was named Di Jingying, a Great General of the Forbidden Army, commanding one of the two Forbidden Army units guarding the Capital.

Di Jingying held a high position and had a wide social circle, especially influential within the Forbidden Army.

Although she was born into the Di clan, she distanced herself from the external forces early on and had a poor relationship with Di Ao.

In the struggle between Di Ao and Qiao Sen, Di Jingying remained neutral, aiding neither side.

The True Mother God Sect’s hideout actually being within Di Jingying’s mansion suggested either this Di Jingying was blind or she and Di Ao were acting, privately having a close relationship.

Recently, Sanwa discovered an increase in Forbidden Army officers frequenctly entering and exiting Di Jingying’s mansion, seemingly plotting something.

But she didn’t dare approach, as Fang Zhou had warned her that there might be an Innate Realm expert hidden within Di Jingying’s mansion, and if discovered, escaping wouldn’t be possible.

After hearing Sanwa’s findings, Fang Zhou was shocked. Could the True Mother God sect intend to flip the table?

Although the Di Faction was currently battered by Qiao Sen, they hadn’t been completely defeated. Once Di Ao healed and led resistance against Qiao Sen’s offensive, it wasn’t impossible.

However, Di Ao ultimately wasn’t legitimate; she must have an absolute overriding advantage to succeed in usurping.

Being at a disadvantage or having a slight advantage held no significance. Continuing to stalemate would lead to Di Ao’s eventual defeat, leaving her no chance.

Thus, the True Mother God Sect members eventually could only choose to flip the table, resolving issues through violence, with the difference being sooner or later in timing.

Fang Zhou’s expression was grave and instructed Sanwa to continue monitoring Di Jingying’s mansion. Should there be any movement, she directly should seek out Yu Qing and the two others immediately.

After leaving the teahouse, Fang Zhou utilized the cover of night to fly towards the Crown Prince Mansion.

Inside the Crown Prince Mansion, it turned out Yu Qing and the others hadn’t returned, Sixwa wasn’t there either; Fang Zhou only found Dawa.

Dawa said they all went to the Imperial Palace early today, Sixwa went along since there was nothing else to do.

Sixwa had been monitoring Cao Zixuan recently, however Cao Zixuan—a mole—held little significance to Di Ao since Qiao Sen supervised the capital. Due to not being able to enter the Imperial Palace as a guard.

Fang Zhou could only write a note in the name of Baron Qi Beilin, having Dawa deliver it overnight into the palace, directly to Qiao Sen’s hands.

Without Sixwa—the humanoid artifact—Fang Zhou couldn’t stealthily enter the Imperial Palace and thus decided to return to Di Ao’s General Mansion.

He had a premonition that the True Mother God Sect might soon flip the table.

A coup wasn’t frightening, but the Innate Realm General Yaksha was. If she couldn’t be dealt with, nothing else mattered.

Fang Zhou at that moment found it odd. Yu Qing should have notified Heavenly Sword Sect with details, why was there no response from Heavenly Sword Sect?

Were they not afraid that the three Core Disciples might be wiped out here?

...

Imperial Palace, Qianxin Palace.

"Aunt Du!"

Qiao Sen bowed to Du Ruxue, feeling deep respect for the elder who came to serve due to a favor.

Even though Du Ruxue maintained neutrality and didn’t offer any help, Qiao Sen wouldn’t resent her.

Du Ruxue had been observing Qiao Sen throughout this period, and she had secretly watched the inauguration ceremony the other day.

Thus, she wasn’t surprised by Qiao Sen’s remarkable change.

"This late at night, are you visiting your mother?" Du Ruxue smiled.

"No, I’m here to find you, Aunt Du." Qiao Sen said with a serious expression.

She came to Qianxin Palace tonight not bringing outsiders, just Yu Qing, Xuan Ling, and Gou Cheng, for Fang Zhou’s second note left for Yu Qing.

On it was written the second matter: Li Shuxian was most likely hidden by Du Ruxue.

Had it been before Fang Zhou’s special training, Qiao Sen might have rushed to confront Du Ruxue, as Li Shuxian in her mind was no less an enemy than Di Ao.

However, after the special training, Qiao Sen’s mind matured, understanding that if the Di Faction was powerful, finding Li Shuxian was useless, as they’d only turn black into white, wasting this card in vain.

Thus, during Di Ao’s injury, Qiao Sen launched aggressive attacks on the Di Faction, eroding their power to the point they could only protect themselves.

Now, if Li Shuxian could be found and proven to conspire with Di Ao to poison the emperor, Di Ao could be crushed in one blow.

Without Di Ao as a leader, the Di Faction would rapidly collapse and disperse.

"Aunt Du!"

Qiao Sen asked straightforwardly, "Have you hidden Li Shuxian?"

She believed Du Ruxue wouldn’t deceive her, either confirming or denying.

If denied, Qiao Sen could only continue to contend against Di Ao.

Du Ruxue showed surprise, casting a glance at the three behind Qiao Sen, then said, "Indeed, Li Shuxian is hidden by me, otherwise she’d be found by Di Ao."

Qiao Sen didn’t show excitement, but her breathing was heavier. She said in a deep voice, "I want to see her."

Du Ruxue nodded, "Follow me."

Du Ruxue led Qiao Sen and others to her residence within the Imperial Palace, the only place in the palace undisturbed by anyone, naturally preventing Di Ao from sending people to search.

Upon arriving at a secluded courtyard, without needing Du Ruxue’s hand, Qiao Sen briskly stepped forward and pushed the door open.

Inside sat a woman with a weary face, hearing the sound, she suddenly turned around, seeing Qiao Sen, she was immediately stunned.

"Li Shuxian!"

Qiao Sen growled from her throat, eyes reddened.
