Gou Zai Liang Jie as a Human Gu

There's a kind of cleverness called being too clever for your own good.

This moment was perfectly embodied in Lin Mo and Song Yan.

You thought you had set up a trap, dug a pit, and lured your prey into it.

Little did they know, they had seen through everything and were playing along, digging a pit on top of their good show to trap everyone.

Song Yan understood everything and asked, "Zhuanlun, Zhao Yuanheng is actually one of your men, isn't he?"

The Wheel-Turning Dharma King nodded slightly, acknowledging, "It's just an alliance."

"Who is Zhao Yuanheng?" Lin Mo asked.

Song Yan explained, "The advisors to the Crown Prince, the people of the Hall of Offerings, are from the Three Immortals Sect's lineage in their homeland, and are true disciples of the Tongtian Pavilion."

Lin Mo was puzzled: "The Three Immortals Sect and the Jade Buddha Sect have formed an alliance?"

Zhuanlun smiled and explained, "It is not the Three Immortals Sect that has formed an alliance with this humble monk, but rather the Tongtian Pavilion that has formed an alliance with this humble monk."

Song Yan sneered: "To put it bluntly, it's because Tongtian Pavilion has become disloyal to the Three Immortals Sect. It's not surprising. After all, being dependent on others and unable to ascend to Baiyujing, who would feel good about that? After years of resentment, it's normal that they are no longer willing to obey the Three Immortals Sect's orders."

Lin Mo has figured out the relationship.

The Three Immortals Sect wants to overthrow the Great Zhou Dynasty and support the Prince of Li to ascend the throne, but it cannot be a traditional succession of imperial power; they must rebel and completely overthrow the old order.

Since the Three Immortals Sect was unable to take action on its own, it delegated the task to the Tongtian Pavilion, a Taoist sect in the human world.

As a result, Tongtian Pavilion betrayed the Three Immortals Sect and started to scheme on its own. It joined forces with the Maitreya Sect to stage a good show, deceiving even the Crown Prince and Song Yan.

Song Yan thought he could easily defeat the mere Wheel-Turning Dharma King.

As it turned out, they had already seen through his identity and had prepared everything in advance using the [Rakshasa Demon-Forging Cauldron], waiting for the protagonist to fall into the trap.

"You wrathful Brahmin, what do you intend to do to me?"

Lin Mo questioned.

The Wheel-Turning Dharma King's lips curled into a mocking smile: "Since you cannot form a master-disciple bond with the Crown Prince, then please, Crown Prince, go to your death."

Song Yan scoffed, "You're still bound by the karma of the previous dynasty's imperial achievements; I'm afraid you can't touch him."

The Wheel-Turning Dharma King said confidently, "This cauldron is a supreme treasure of my Buddhist practice. You are currently inside the cauldron, and the immortals cannot see the secrets of heaven. They cannot save you."

"Once the crown prince dies, this Qi will be ownerless."

Song Yan's face immediately turned ugly.

He was indeed unable to contact his original body.

In other words, even if the clone dies today, the original body will have no way of knowing what happened.

Lin Mo looked up at the unexpectedly large, pale face and asked, "Is it too late for me to become an apprentice now?"

"What do you think, Your Highness?"

The Wheel-Turning Dharma King seemed to be looking at inanimate objects. He began chanting Sanskrit, and the next moment, a raging red lotus fire surged up inside the cauldron, intending to completely refine the two of them.

"Good disciple, your master is taking his leave now." Song Yan waved to Lin Mo, giving up resistance without even struggling.

He transmitted his voice secretly, saying, "Don't make a futile struggle. This old thing has connections with Ikkyu. The power of the [Rakshasa Demon-Forging Cauldron] is greatly amplified in his hands. Even if my true form were here, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to break out of the cauldron."

The next moment, he closed his eyes, and his body collapsed to the ground with a thud, instantly burned to ashes by the karmic fire.

"Old silver coins!"

Lin Mo cursed angrily, circulating his magical power to resist the karmic fire.

He tried to invoke divine will, but the karmic fire was extremely powerful.

However, this cauldron is a hundred times more powerful in the hands of the Wheel-Turning Dharma King than it is in the hands of Qin Shutong.

Lin Mo was too busy resisting to have any strength left to fight back.

Soon, Lin Mo's clothes began to catch fire and were burned to ashes in an instant.

The karmic fire seeped into his pores.

"You old bald monk, you're ruthless. I accept this in this life. You just wait and see."

Lin Mo gritted his teeth and gave up resisting the erosion of the karmic fire.

In the blink of an eye, his physical body was refined by the karmic fire.

A wisp of Qi remained where it was.

It coils like a dragon, emitting a faint candlelight.

【Hidden Dragon in the Dark Mountain, Candle Flame Qi】.

"Once this humble monk has refined it and found a suitable vessel, it will help my Incense Army overthrow the Great Zhou and seize the world."

The three people watching from afar, namely [Midnight], [Chicken Crow], and Zhang Zhiyuan, were unaware of the specific situation inside the cauldron.

Zhang Zhiyuan said anxiously, "My lords, please hurry and help me."

Both "midnight" and "crowing" rolled their eyes.

[Midnight] retorted, "How can you save him? Can you beat that bald monk?"

Zhang Zhiyuan glanced at the enormous golden statue in the distance.

Standing two hundred feet tall, it resembled a god descending from heaven.

This is something that cannot be changed by human power.

Zhang Zhiyuan said weakly, "We have to try our best, right? This is our colleague, your junior brother."

[Midnight] and [Cockcrow] shook their heads helplessly.

Before attempting to save someone, you should carefully consider your own capabilities.

To charge forward against an invincible enemy is not speaking out for justice, it's pure suicide, it's idiocy!

The Dharma King chanted the scriptures and then began to refine the [Hidden Dragon Candle Flame Qi of Mount Ming] within the cauldron.

But the next moment.

The Qi in front of them vanished into thin air, as if it had never appeared in the cauldron at all.

"How could this be?" The fair face of the Wheel-Turning Dharma King was full of astonishment, completely bewildered. Where exactly had he overlooked something, failing to kill Lin Mo and refine the [Dark Mountain Hidden Dragon Candle Flame Qi]?

He was not a superior being and was unable to fathom the secrets within Lin Mo.

A clear, ethereal voice came from the sky, addressing Midnight and the other two: "Don't worry, that kid isn't dead."

"They ran away?"

All three of them looked completely bewildered.

[The rooster crows] They're all getting ready to build him a cenotaph.

Zhan Miaomiao transmitted her voice: "They did indeed escape."

【Midnight】 asked curiously, "Senior Sister, do you know where Lin Mo ran off to? Let's go meet him."

Zhan Miaomiao replied helplessly, "I don't know either. Anyway, he's not dead, so don't worry about it. Now, you all go find the Crown Prince."

[A rooster crows] The three of them were all taken aback: "What do you want with the Crown Prince?"

Zhan Miaomiao snorted in dissatisfaction, "My junior brother, we can't let him be tricked for nothing. If it weren't for this stupid crown prince, would we have suffered this calamity? Go and break one of his dog legs."

[Midnight] The three looked at each other in bewilderment.

[Chicken Crow] said timidly, "Senior Sister, we dare not. How about we wait for the Crown Prince to return to the capital, and you take action yourself?"

[Midnight] was calmer: "Senior Sister, the Crown Prince is just a puppet, why do you have to make things difficult for him?"

"have no idea."

Zhan Miaomiao's voice came through, tinged with doubt: "My intuition tells me that the Crown Prince is doing something bad. He's definitely not a good person. Go and break his legs right now. Don't be afraid. My intuition is very accurate. Breaking his legs is a good thing. If you don't, His Majesty will punish you."

[At midnight], he looked helplessly at [the rooster crowing].

[Chicken Crow] frowned, analyzing, "Could it be that the Crown Prince has another powerful force behind him?"

The next moment, he gritted his teeth and decided to go all out.

The eldest sister's divine will is very accurate; we must listen to it.

"Let's go back to the Armor-Piercing Camp and break the Crown Prince's legs."

Inside the [Armor-Piercing Camp].

The two-hundred-foot-tall golden statue of the Buddhist monk caused quite a stir.

The Crown Prince inside the tent also noticed it. Li Hongzhong, the Junior Tutor to the Crown Prince, stroked his beard and said, "The Maitreya Sect Master's actions are indeed extraordinary. This old minister congratulates the Crown Prince. With the [Hidden Dragon Candle Flame Qi of Mount Ming] and the fortune of the previous dynasty, and with the assistance of a true spiritual root, you will surely be able to reproduce the glory of the founding emperor."

From the very beginning, the allies were very clear about this grand drama.

The Maitreya sect is a staunch ally of the prince.

As for Zhao Yuanheng of Tongtian Pavilion.

He was just being used.

The Crown Prince never truly regarded Tongtian Pavilion as an ally.

Because the Three Immortals Sect aims to overthrow the Great Zhou Dynasty, Tongtian Pavilion, as the son of the Three Immortals Sect in the mortal realm, can defy its father even if it harbors resentment.

The Crown Prince never believed that Tongtian Pavilion could achieve anything.

As Zhao Yuanheng was a pawn planted in the imperial court by the Three Immortals Sect, the Crown Prince naturally wanted to make good use of him, making his actions go against the Three Immortals Sect and appear to be allied with the Maitreya Sect.

In this way, the conflict between the Heavenly Court and the human world's moral traditions can be directly exposed.

Everything is out in the open; internal strife is inevitable within the Three Immortals Sect, which will only benefit the Maitreya Sect in its quest for supremacy.

"Teacher, is the substitute I asked you to arrange ready? Tonight, the [Armor-Piercing Camp] will catch fire, and I will die in the flames. As the garrison commander Zhang Zhiyuan, I am responsible for the failure of the Embroidered Uniform Guard's Golden Guard [Midnight] and [Cockcrow] to protect me. They deserve to die."

Li Hongzhong nodded repeatedly, agreeing with the plan to create a body double for the crown prince.

Even in death, one should die with value.

The Crown Prince died in the [Armor-Breaking Camp], and the [Armor-Breaking Camp] cannot escape blame.

The accompanying embroidered-robed guards were naturally also implicated.

The Embroidered Uniform Guard will therefore become alienated from His Majesty.

This immediately disintegrated a core force within the imperial court.

Severing the arm of the Zhou dynasty would be a great help to the Hong Kong army's rebellion.

"Your Highness, run!"

Suddenly, the Brahma sent a telepathic message.

The Crown Prince and Li Hongzhong were both taken aback, looking up at the sky in confusion.

Why run?

The Wheel-Turning Dharma King hurriedly transmitted his voice: "You failed to refine the Crown Prince of Li, which angered that Embroidered-Clad Guard. She wants to break your dog legs... no, break your dragon legs. The Embroidered-Clad Golden Guard has already returned to camp. Anyway, you'd better run."

The Crown Prince and Li Hongzhong's faces froze in surprise.

They are plotting to fake their deaths to escape, join the Hong Kong army, and seize power.

Now they're being told that the plan has failed.

Not only did the plan fail, but he also ended up getting his legs broken... no, I mean, his dragon legs!

That damn Brahma is so unreliable!

"Your Highness, what should we do now?" Li Hongzhong asked the Crown Prince with great concern.

The crown prince gritted his teeth and cursed, "What else can we do but run!"
