Leng Piaomiao approached, carefully reviewing the plot, and Xun Wuyou felt relieved.
Leng Piaomiao was the husband of Tian Zhi Zhu, and the couple had some friction, but after all, they were husband and wife, and they were subtly helping Tian Zhi Zhu in secret.
This person's strength was faintly above Xue Jue, making him the second strongest among the Elves currently.
“Xue Jue!”
Leng Piaomiao spoke slowly: “Trust him. The Elf lineage is truly under someone's control. From the Jing You War to the Ancient Plain Domination, the shadow of the mastermind behind it can be seen everywhere.”
Xun Wuyou slapped his thigh, his mouth splitting into a smile of delight.
Finally, someone understood!
They say those involved are blinded, while onlookers see clearly. Leng Piaomiao was not an outsider, but he was meticulous.
He had been pursuing the case of the Xue Zang lineage, realizing that the executioner who slaughtered the entire Xue Zang lineage and the mastermind controlling the Elves were the same person.
However, he was alone in this fight. Despite knowing some truths, no one believed him, and all his thoughts were bottled up inside.
Coincidentally, Xun Wuyou seemed to know something and could no longer hold back, revealing all the information he knew.
However, his knowledge was limited. He only knew that the manipulator was the Blood Dark Source, and nothing else.
Blood Dark Source, one of the avatars of Di Ming!
Leng Piaomiao bowed slightly to Xun Wuyou: “Do you know anything else, sir? I implore you to tell me the truth!”
Xue Jue's heart was filled with turbulent waves.
His 杞人忧天 (worried without reason) guess had hit the truth. He felt his blood freeze. He and Leng Piaomiao had trained together in the Ju Mang Peak for many years and naturally knew that Leng Piaomiao wouldn't say anything without reason.
But…how could the schemer called Blood Dark Source turn the tide in the Hunting Universe with the Divine Sun Yang guarding it?
Even the Divine Sun Yang was kept in the dark!?
Xun Wuyou laughed: "There's no use in saying more. It will only make you more passive."
He knew the cost of revealing his secrets was too high! His current self couldn't afford it.
Di Ming was no less insidious than Fei Chang Jun. He had already offended Fei Chang Jun. If he exposed Di Ming, he would be running for his life for a long time.
His strength was still insufficient. Xue Jue and Leng Piaomiao were even weaker. If the Divine Sun Yang could awaken, Xun Wuyou could fight Di Ming with him.
“Understood.” Leng Piaomiao nodded.
Knowing more secrets would put him in danger. Perhaps it was because he knew so little that he could survive until now.
Xun Wuyou looked at Xue Jue: “What do you say?”
Xue Jue was too shocked to recover for a long time. Taking a deep breath, he said: “I believe Leng Piaomiao.” He turned to Leng Piaomiao again: “Why didn't you say this earlier?”
Leng Piaomiao smiled faintly, a hint of self-deprecation in his voice: “What's the use of saying it? The Blood Dark Source controls many Elves, including Poppy and the Beast King. Their minds have been influenced! If…”
He didn’t finish his sentence, but his implication was clear.
Leng Piaomiao was unsure who was controlled by Di Ming. All he could do was endure and not act. Otherwise, if he alerted the serpent, the Hunting Universe would be finished.
This matter had been weighing on Leng Piaomiao for hundreds of years. Speaking it out, he felt a great deal of relief.
Xue Jue's brows furrowed, and he unleashed a ten-meter-long blade aura, slashing towards the Blood Dark Crystal Tower. White light shone, and the wind and snow trembled violently.
With a cracking sound, the Blood Dark Crystal Tower split in two, but within a few breaths, it was completely restored.
“Don't waste your energy.” Xun Wuyou whistled.
Xue Jue's actions had already made his stance clear, but if the Blood Dark Crystal Tower could be destroyed so easily, it wouldn't have existed for so long.
The right time, the right place, the right people, and even the angle of attack were crucial. After exchanging with Shen Yu Xiaoyao, Xun Wuyou had finally figured out some of the Blood Dark Crystal Tower's key points.
Knowing Xue Jue's efforts were doomed, he didn't stop him. Otherwise, he would have to guard the Blood Dark Crystal Tower himself. It involved a system quest, and he had to do it personally.
“How…”
Xue Jue was dejected. Since it couldn't be destroyed, why invest so much manpower and resources to guard it?
“Don't waste your energy.” Xun Wuyou smiled: “It takes time to take action. Tonight, at midnight, is the right time to strike.”
“Good!” Xue Jue nodded: “I'll go restrain Jing Ting and Zi Wei. Tonight, all the human and demonic masters will be out. The Blood Dark Realm will suppress your bodies. I'll provide support from the shadows.”
“No!” Leng Piaomiao said urgently: “Don’t alert the serpent!”
Xun Wuyou nodded. Leng Piaomiao and Xue Jue's bodies were special, so they were unaffected.
The other Elves weren't so fortunate. The thing that controlled them was the Seed of Hope.
Leng Piaomiao and Xue Jue had cold physiques, which were immune to the Seed of Hope. Perhaps it could be understood as the Seed of Hope being afraid of the cold…
There was no basis for this, but it couldn't be called nonsense. Otherwise, how could one explain that besides the Divine Sun Yang, only these two were unaffected?
Xue Jue and Leng Piaomiao were outside the scope of Di Ming's control. In the end, it was Xue Jue who single-handedly led the Elves out of Di Ming's control, as if they had escaped the script's setting.
Exposing themselves too early might cause Di Ming to target them deliberately.
“You two should leave. No need for help. Just don't get in the way.” Xun Wuyou smiled.
Then, he added: “Do what you did before. Don't reveal yourselves. The Divine Sun Yang still hasn't figured it out. He's like a fool. Wait until he wakes up before doing anything else.”
Leng Piaomiao didn't say anything, but Xue Jue glared fiercely at Xun Wuyou.
In his heart, the Divine Sun Yang was sacred and inviolable. Xun Wuyou had committed a taboo.
The person in question didn't care. Xue Jue and Leng Piaomiao exchanged glances and left.
Xun Wuyou stared at the Blood Dark Crystal Tower for a long time. Inside, it seemed to contain countless roaring souls, able to stir people's hearts and change them, similar to a rusty sword.
“This is madness.” Xun Wuyou murmured.
He had no sympathy for the suffering of others. He just felt that Di Ming was not fair.
Having seen the plot, Xun Wuyou knew what he was doing. It was to counter the final Eight-Headed Demon God.
Those who didn't know would directly consider him a perverted sadist who enjoyed tormenting people.
Sacrificing one person for the benefit of the world, many people would know how to choose. Di Ming slaughtered the world in exchange for an uncertain future. How could this not be madness?
Xun Wuyou just knew that in the end, when the Eight-Headed Demon God appeared, the number of people who died at his hands was not even a fraction of Di Ming's victims.
Today is Saturday. Wishing everyone a happy weekend. May you be prosperous and win the chicken dinner tonight.
