Zhou Qing nodded, his tone firm, "Although I am still just a One-color Array Master, I can still detect some clues."
Cao Zhengyang also put away his smile, letting out a cold snort, "This Sikong Yan plans to take us all out in one fell swoop and monopolize all the lotus seeds. Truly, his intentions are despicable."
The Three Families Alliance has poured so much effort and resources into this plan, only to face possible extermination while he reaps all the benefits.
Is he not afraid that we will leave messages behind for our disciples, exposing his possession of the Nine Nether Demon Lotus once we die?
By then, even if it was fabricated, a large number of people would come to investigate, including the current Emperor.
"What exactly is he planning?" Cao Zhengyang’s voice was low.
Duanmu Shu also frowned, her eyes filled with worry.
No wonder, when arranging the formation eyes a few days ago, Sikong Yan suggested that everyone swear a Heavenly Dao Oath, entering the formation to slay demons instead of conserving strength and waiting to split the lotus seeds.
After all, the array is only an auxiliary tool; most of its power is used to collect and refine the essence of the demon beasts to catalyze the Nine Nether Demon Lotus.
"Perhaps he wants to use this beast tide to eliminate us as potential threats. Once we are weakened by fighting the demon beasts within the array, he can quietly activate the terrifying Four-Color Killing Array and the result would be unimaginable."
Though Duanmu Shu’s voice was calm, the coldness within it was chilling.
Cao Zhengyang nodded in agreement, "Sikong Yan has always been deep-minded and ruthless, willing to use any means to achieve his goals. I even thought he truly wanted to ally with us this time, how laughable."
Zhou Qing couldn’t help but say, "Martial Uncle, he plans to end the Five Sects War ahead of time."
Cao Zhengyang said angrily, "Those brainless fools from Hou Mountain have created a new variable, he is planning to use this chance to achieve Spirit Slash, why would he care about them?"
"I even suspect that once he succeeds this time, he might easily abandon the entire Cangyan Daoist Palace."
"By then, finding a secret place to go into seclusion, as long as he successfully advances to Spirit Severing, he can establish a new Cangyan Daoist Palace effortlessly. Forget about the small Lingyun Mansion, even the land of a county could be granted to him by the Emperor!"
Hearing Cao Zhengyang’s words, Zhou Qing fell into thought. With Sikong Yan’s cunning and schemes, he might indeed be capable of such actions.
After their furious venting, the three fell into silence.
They all frowned, pondering countermeasures.
The Taiqing Sect only had a Three-Color Restriction. When they rescued the Cyan Feather Immortal Sect, they brought all their Core and True Disciples and launched an attack on Cangyan Daoist Palace from the opposite direction.
Thus, they knew its power better than anyone. But even so, ten times its power couldn’t compare to a Four-Color Restriction.
There was only one solution: choose not to enter when the time comes.
But, would they just let the entire sect’s accumulated resources go to waste like that?
What would the Golden Thunder Sect and Cyan Feather Immortal Sect think?
Should they now go and tell them that Zhou Qing, a One-color Array Master from their sect, discovered a hidden Four-Color Killing Array?
How credible would that be?
As soon as the Nine Nether Demon Lotus appears, the so-called Three Sects Alliance would collapse.
What Five Sects War, what Demon King threat, all become insignificant in the face of the hope of Spirit Slash.
Especially for Supreme Elders like them, whose lifespans were nearing their end, achieving Spirit Severing was their last chance for survival. Follow current novels on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚•𝙣𝙚𝙩
"Martial Uncle—" Cao Zhengyang spoke urgently, but for a moment, he didn’t know of a good solution either.
Duanmu Shu also shook her head in despair, the situation seemed utterly desperate.
Zhou Qing couldn’t help but say, "Could we set up a small Teleportation Array?"
Duanmu Shu smiled bitterly, "According to the plan, all our high-ranking members, as well as countless Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators, will enter to slay demon beasts. When the time is right, they will activate the Four-Color Killing Array."
"But the fact that the other side has the confidence to kill us all and monopolize the Nine Nether Lotus Seed shows that the Four-Color Restriction has absolute power and has considered all possibilities."
Cao Zhengyang deeply agreed, the opponent’s intricate plan left them defenseless.
They could only choose not to go in.
But if they did this, once the opponent advanced to Spirit Slash later on, the Taiqing Sect would still face destruction.
But if the opponent didn’t plan to share the Nine Nether Lotus Seeds anyway, even if they survived until the end, how could they ensure the opponent would give them any?
Once the Nine Nether Demon Lotus matures, there would be only a few lotus seeds. Just the high-level cultivators of Cangyan Daoist Palace in the Perfection of the Divinity Transformation Realm would consume several, not to mention if each took three at the maximum dosage, the quantity would be far from enough.
The next moment, both looked at Zhou Qing simultaneously, eyes full of expectation, suddenly asking, "Zhou Qing, do you have any good suggestions?"
Zhou Qing was stunned. He was just a junior, what could he offer in the face of such grand scheming?
However, seeing their inquisitive eyes, Zhou Qing briefly thought and then raised a question, "Do you think the Phecda Sect knows about this?"
The two were taken aback, and then their eyes lit up.
The Phecda Sect had the weakest combat power among the Five Sects and could even be considered a lackey of the Cangyan Daoist Palace.
Since Cangyan Daoist Palace wanted to monopolize, they probably wouldn’t want to give two percent of the lotus seeds to them.
