The payment was made at the amusement park, and Yang Qianyuan's figure emerged from the vortex.

"Brother Chu, what's wrong?" Yang Qianyuan asked.

After Chu Danqing explained the situation, Yang Qianyuan understood the intention.

"Using someone else to do the dirty work is indeed a good idea, and staying in the dark under the lamp is also a good option."

"But how do we hide Da Bao and Da Gu?" Yang Qianyuan said helplessly.

Chu Danqing could simply remove his equipment and disguise himself.

But Da Bao and Da Gu definitely can't be put away.

“Secondly, the palace is not a safe place.” Yang Qianyuan’s expression revealed apprehension: “Brother Chu, you are not from the Heavenly Mystery Department, so you can’t sense it.”

"I didn't even perform any divination; I just used some minor methods to observe, and I was able to tell that this place is a den of dragons and tigers."

Whether "using someone else to do the dirty work" will succeed is another matter, but "doing the dirty work under the lamp" is unlikely to work.

Upon hearing Yang Qianyuan's words, Chu Danqing's eyes widened, and she said, "Could it be that the chosen one is in the palace?"

"Let me do a divination." After saying that, Yang Qianyuan began to divinate the secrets of heaven. The yarrow on Fei Di's body began to spread and grow until it reached seven feet in length.

The feudal lords were seven feet tall, but that wasn't even the limit for flying eagles.

If Yang Qianyuan were to ascend to the throne, the yarrow stalks would grow to nine feet tall, further enhancing his ability to divine celestial secrets.

The tortoise-shell patterns on the eight legs slowly emerged with a radiant glow, which contained the shimmering starlight.

This was the first time Chu Danqing had seen Fei Di like this; he was clearly using all his strength.

"What is in the palace that makes Qian Yuan go to such lengths?" Chu Danqing was certain that Yang Qian Yuan was giving it his all this time.

So he took out all the pills he had prepared to treat the backlash from the Heavenly Secrets, and planned to give them to Yang Qianyuan and Fei Di after the Heavenly Secrets divination was completed.

The whole process lasted fifteen minutes. When it ended, Yang Qianyuan was bleeding from all seven orifices, and the yarrow on Fei Di's body was all wilted.

Chu Danqing used both hands simultaneously, his hand speed faster than someone who had been single for thirty years, since the average person who had been single for thirty years didn't have his level of skill.

It took Yang Qianyuan and Fei Di about five minutes to recover.

“The chosen one is Emperor Xihuan.” Yang Qianyuan’s words silenced Chu Danqing.

But before he could finish, Yang Qianyuan continued, "Not just one term, but every term."

"He is an immortal emperor, a man chosen by Heaven."

Upon hearing this, Chu Danqing couldn't help but gasp.

What Emperor Chongde, that demonic emperor, failed to accomplish, Emperor Xihuan achieved.

"Brother Chu, if you really proceed according to the original plan," Yang Qianyuan said breathlessly, "I'm afraid it's a nine-out-of-ten chance of death."

"The arrival of the Heavenly Ring in Tianfu was not a coincidence, but rather, as long as Emperor Xihuan is alive, wherever he is, the Heavenly Ring will surely descend there."

"Having accumulated the destiny of countless generations, its immense fortune has already been able to influence the fairness of the Heavenly Ring."

"Normally, there are a maximum of five participants, and they need to use tokens and activate their destiny."

"But he doesn't need to. As long as he's alive, he's a natural sixth participant and is automatically qualified to participate."

“If a participant is qualified as a hidden dragon of the Five Elements, then he is qualified as a true dragon in the world.”

“Natural suppression of all participants,” Yang Qianyuan said.

He didn't say how powerful Emperor Xihuan was, but an old monster who was supported by the whole world and had lived for countless years, even if he was just a pig, was still a divine pig.

Not to mention that he was no ordinary person to have managed the Xi Huan Dynasty so well.

Chu Danqing was about to calculate the founding time of the Xi Huan Dynasty when he was interrupted.

“Brother Chu, you can’t just consider the Xi Huan Dynasty. The other side might stage a rebellion by His Majesty to avoid the historical cycle,” Yang Qianyuan said seriously.

Although this possibility is relatively small, the other party is destined for greatness and has enough ability and courage to reshuffle the deck in this way.

"Are you sure?" Chu Danqing could only ask.

“Of course, the other party’s fortune is not only immense, but also very long,” Yang Qianyuan replied. “However, it has already become somewhat rotten.”

"Rotten? Luck can rot too?" Chu Danqing couldn't quite understand. Luck is just luck, how can it rot?

"Rottenness is just a metaphor; it's more like the Heavenly Ring is dissatisfied with Emperor Xi Huan's long-term monopoly on the Mandate of Heaven," Yang Qianyuan said. "The Mandate of Heaven must have its own responsibilities and missions."

"However, Emperor Xihuan only enjoyed the power but did not fulfill any obligations."

Chu Danqing understood what he meant when he heard this.

“I understand now. No wonder the five participants this time are from the five major factions,” Chu Danqing said. “They intend to get rid of the lazy and good-for-nothing Emperor Xihuan.”

"Therefore, this trial world has opened up certain benefits to the five major factions, and whoever wins will receive these benefits."

"It's just that this benefit is almost useless, which is why we little Karami had to fight it out." Chu Danqing guessed something from this.

As for how much of it is true, it doesn't really matter.

For him, the mission was simply to kill the opposing faction and Emperor Xihuan. Emperor Xihuan represented the sixth party, but not the native inhabitants; he represented himself.

"That's roughly the idea," Yang Qianyuan said. "So, Brother Chu, your original plan was too risky and not suitable to proceed."

Chu Danqing rubbed his temples: "Next time, let's just get straight to the result, instead of going around in circles like this."

So praising him for using someone else to do his dirty work and for his actions being seen as "the darkest place under the lamp" were high-EQ statements, but low-EQ ones would just be seen as courting death.

"So what should I do next?" Chu Danqing asked, then added, "By the way, I've almost collected all the sub-techniques and equipment for the Nine Extremes Myriad Directions Technique, but I'm still missing an earth-attribute true qi."

"I also obtained the supporting equipment for the Nine Extremes Myriad Directions Technique."

"How about you help me get a set of earth-attribute true energy and matching equipment? Preferably something that can be obtained peacefully," Chu Danqing requested.

"Brother Chu, there's no need to worry about the Nine Extremes Myriad Directions Technique's supporting arrangements; everything has already been arranged." Yang Qianyuan had already intervened beforehand, but it just hadn't come to fruition yet.

"As for what happens next, Brother Chu, do you still remember the person you saved at Misty Hidden Manor?"

Hearing this, Chu Danqing nodded: "And then?"

I remember them, but who knows where those people from the martial arts world are now?

Even if they were all in Tianfu, given their situation, sending a large number of people to help them would be useless.

Their strength is too weak; they are of little use at all.

"I remember that Brother Chu's skill of gathering righteousness has the function of gathering and spontaneous protection."

"So, Brother Chu, you are now part of the Jianghu (江湖, the martial arts world). Therefore, the Jianghu people in Tianfu (天府, the capital of the Tianfu region) may be our native units. So what we need to do is gamble on the success of the judgment."

"Before your identity is exposed, Brother Chu, all the people in the martial arts world are considered to be our own native units."

“As long as you start driving, Brother Chu, and take a trip around Tianfu,” Yang Qianyuan said, “chaos is bound to break out.”

"At that time, it will be no problem to fish in troubled waters."

Yang Qianyuan never intended to rely on this group of martial arts figures to turn the tide; his only goal was to disrupt the situation and allow Chu Danqing to survive as long as possible.

First, drag it to the Cat Goddess Underworld section to complete it, and the rest won't be a problem.

“This would kill a lot of innocent people.” Chu Danqing shook his head and refused; he didn’t think it was a good idea.

"By the way, Brother Guo has already reached level 4 with the help of Wanlingxian," Chu Danqing added.

Upon hearing this, Yang Qianyuan said, "If there are no opposing factions, the competition for the Heavenly Ring is a sure thing."

"At most, it's just an extra layer of protection now."

It wasn't that Yang Qianyuan looked down on the indigenous people, but he knew that anyone who could compete with Chu Danqing on the same stage was definitely not someone to be trifled with.

“Since Brother Chu is unwilling to take advantage of chaos, let’s try another method.” Yang Qianyuan had anticipated this, and as he spoke, he picked the wilted yarrow from Fei Di’s body.

"Holy crap, how did you pull it out?!" Chu Danqing's eyes widened in shock. He thought this thing must be part of the flying device.

As soon as he finished pulling, Chu Danqing applied medicine.

“It’s alright, there’s no use keeping it if it’s wilted, it can grow back.” Yang Qianyuan said, handing the yarrow stalks to Chu Danqing: “After we got back, I used the opportunity of spying on the Heavenly Ring last time to work with Fei Di to come up with a substitution method.”

"Unfortunately, this method can only be used for Brother Chu's newly acquired Wood-element Hidden Dragon."

As they were talking, Yang Qianyuan divided the yarrow stalks in two, and Fei Di took one half and began to spin silk and weave a net.

The other half is in Yang Qianyuan's hands, and is being made using a method that Chu Danqing cannot understand.

Before long, Fei Di finished weaving, and the original yarrow stalks were transformed into some kind of exquisite handicraft.

Just as Chu Danqing was about to take a closer look, Fei Di, carrying the artwork, leaped off Yang Qianyuan's shoulder and went out the door.

"Where did Fei Di go?" Chu Danqing asked.

"Give it away," Yang Qianyuan said. "Since it's a substitution, it should naturally be given to the replacement."

"Brother Chu, don't worry. The person chosen is a villain who deserves to die. It won't harm any innocent people."

Yang Qianyuan did not lie, but as usual, he told half of what he didn't say.

That means we can also have Fei Di set up the chaos in Tianfu.

Since he could foresee that Chu Danqing would abandon the plan because he didn't want to involve innocent people, why did he have to say it out loud?

Chu Danqing was unwilling to do this, which was indeed a bit troublesome.

However, with his interference in the future and his plan to substitute one thing for another, success is not difficult.

Informing Chu Danqing was a sign of respect, while leaving it unsaid was for Chu Danqing's benefit.

This plan was actually a backup plan in case Chu Danqing's skill assessment failed.

The new plan was simply to use a substitute for a superior one.

As for Chu Danqing possibly having too high moral standards? Yang Qianyuan didn't care at all.

If Chu Danqing had been a selfish person back then, he would still be trapped in a cage, unable to find freedom.

It was precisely because of this personality trait that Yang Qianyuan chose to follow Chu Danqing.
