Chapter 1029: Four Seven One: Suo Lun sets sail! (Important)

"Who?" Ning Wuya asked.

"My son, Suo Lun," Fu Lingxi said.

"Oh? If I remember correctly, his martial arts skills are extremely low. How could he be the World-Ending Demon Emperor?" Ning Wuya said. "Why?"

"Originally, he was a good-for-nothing wastrel, but three years ago, he suddenly became incomparably wise. Not only did he reclaim Tianshui City, but he also defeated Zhi Li and took over the entire Rage Wave Kingdom. If not for being possessed by Yao Xing, how could such a dramatic change have occurred?" Fu Lingxi explained.

Ning Wuya silently looked at Fu Lingxi, then said, "Merely for this reason?"

"After he returned from the Demon Mountain Range three years ago, he became very wise and valiant, which coincided with the descent of Yao Xing. Of course, there is also the intuition from the depths of my soul!" Fu Lingxi said.

In fact, there was much more, but Fu Lingxi could only say so much.

However, her intuition was indeed persuasive because her lifelong mission was to assassinate the World-Ending Demon Emperor—to act as a decoy to attract him.

Even though the mission of being a decoy had ended ten years ago, it would not be surprising for her to have some kind of intuition about the World-Ending Demon Emperor.

No wonder even at the final moment, FuE still frenziedly sided with Zhi Li because he needed to show a stance of complete hostility toward Suo Lun.

Thus, after successfully assassinating the World-Ending Demon Emperor in the future, BaiHuo City would receive the greatest reward from the Dragon Temple.

It’s a pity, though, that FuE wouldn’t live to enjoy any of it.

"So, you initially planned to hand over the Tears of the Demon to Poluo Sha, and then he would twist the case of Zhi Li carrying the demon’s blood into a capture mission for the World-Ending Demon Emperor, right?" Ning Wuya asked.

"Yes," Fu Lingxi said.

Because Ashi Luo’s death last time, the lead to capture the World-Ending Demon Emperor was cut off, causing the Sky Holy Palace to be very dissatisfied with the Zhi Du Sanctuary.

Consequently, the task of capturing the World-Ending Demon Emperor was entirely handed over to Huai Bingyi.

And Huai Bingyi and Ji Xiuning are like two chariots for the future leader of the Sky Priests, both belonging to the Radiant Faction.

However, under Fu Lingxi’s planning, if the Coordination Faction ultimately captures the World-Ending Demon Emperor, the consequences for the Radiant Faction would be severe.

Not only that, but if according to Fu Lingxi’s speculation, the World-Ending Demon Emperor is her son Suo Lun, it means that both Huai Bingyi and Ji Xiuning have very close ties with Suo Lun.

Huai Bingyi even provided Suo Lun with a protective medal, and Ji Xiuning actively collaborated with Suo Lun to forcibly capture Zhi Li.

Upon capturing the World-Ending Demon Emperor, the Heretic Faction could simply counter-accuse, stating that framing Zhi Li with the demon’s blood was all for the capture of the World-Ending Demon Emperor.

Then someone might ask, why not let the Dragon Temple directly procure another vial of the demon’s blood from the Demonic Laboratory instead of secretly infecting Zhi Li with it?

The Heretic Faction would argue that since Ji Xiuning and Huai Bingyi have close ties with Suo Lun, openly retrieving the demon’s blood would alert Suo Lun through the Radiant Faction, possibly spooking the prey.

For the Dragon Temple, assassinating the World-Ending Demon Emperor is the top priority; it is paramount, above all else.

Because the World-Ending Demon Emperor represents the largest crisis for the Dragon Temple, assassinating him is tantamount to saving the Temple.

Therefore, this is the greatest merit of all! It eclipses all other merits combined.

In the big scheme of capturing the World-Ending Demon Emperor, anything can be justified. The case of Zhi Li’s demon’s blood is trivial in comparison, easily washed away.

And for Huai Bingyi and Ji Xiuning, who truly have close ties with Suo Lun, if the Radiant Faction captures the World-Ending Demon Emperor, what then?

But if it’s the Heretic Faction that captures him, the consequences would be disastrous, a complete catastrophe.

As the heirs to the highest leadership of the Dragon Temple, being in cahoots with the World-Ending Demon Emperor is an utterly grievous crime.

By then, even if Ji Xiuning and Huai Bingyi do not die, they would be stripped of their skins.

With the immense merit of assassinating the World-Ending Demon Emperor in hand, the Heretic Faction can immediately counter-attack the Radiant Faction, not only smoothly getting through the crisis but also delivering a fatal blow to their opponents, ensuring the Heretic Faction’s dominance within the Dragon Temple from then on.

However, now this tremendous plan has been interrupted by Ning Wuya!

He effortlessly picked the fruits of victory.

"Neither the fall of the Radiant Faction nor the Heretic Faction suits our interests, nor does it benefit the Dragon Temple," Ning Wuya said. "We, the Demon Star Pavilion, must make a good middle arbitrator."

Fu Lingxi’s eyes shone with excitement, as she said in a trembling voice, "Yes."

Then, Ning Wuya suddenly said, "Don’t wait for tomorrow, notify the Radiant Faction, the Heretic Faction, the Sky Holy Knights, the Flame Empire, Xiliang Kingdom, Beiting Kingdom, and all the envoys of the kingdoms around the world right now to join us, the Demon Star Pavilion, in the hunt for the World-Ending Demon Emperor!"

This Ning Wuya is mobilizing the largest, most astonishing assembly in the world to pursue and assassinate the World-Ending Demon Emperor.

He is putting on a show of a united world effort to eradicate the great Demon King!

The World-Ending Demon Emperor is an unprecedented super boss, and all participants will share in astronomically large experience points.

...

Four hours later!

Countless flyers soared out from the Demon Star Pavilion.

Innumerable, darkening the skies!

Following this, over a thousand Sky Holy Knights appeared on the horizon, glittering with golden light.

Then, dozens of Griffin Beasts took off from the Flame Empire.
