My Demonic Cult's Holy Maiden

That was just a joke; deep down, she didn't believe Qi Yu possessed that ability.

But when she saw the blueprints and military formations that Qi Yu had drawn up late at night, she understood.

My husband truly possesses the power to stain the land with blood!

Qi Yu's ability does not lie in his own strength.

Qi Yu's strength lies in the wildly imaginative ideas in his mind.

Even she found Qi Yu's plan terrifying.

Because in Qi Yu's plan, Grandmasters are just pawns, and Qi Yu even wants to kill them.

And the success rate is extremely high!

In the past, Qi Yu was like a sleepy tiger, appearing too detached and lazy, indifferent to worldly affairs, and taking a very bland view of everyone and everything.

But the appearance of Li Ming and the Chang family awakened Qi Yu.

If Marquis Guanyong and the Chang family really join forces, many people will die!

And even Li Ming couldn't stop it.

Li Ming dragged Qi Yu onto this dangerous path, but Qi Yu had also considered the possibility that Li Ming might have wavered in his resolve and temporarily backed down.

Li Ming won't die then, but Qi Yu will definitely die, and the Su family will be wiped out.

Li Ming has a way out, but Qi Yu does not!

So Qi Yu has done some things these past few days to help Li Ming strengthen his resolve.

Chapter Forty-Seven: Strategies

"Give these things to His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Qi Yu handed a box to Li Minghai with a serious expression.

Li Minghai took it and said, "I'll go arrange it right away!"

Qi Yu hurriedly grabbed Li Minghai's shoulder, looked directly into the latter's eyes, and said, "Don't give it to anyone else. The contents inside are very important. You deliver it personally to the Crown Prince!"

Li Minghai frowned and said, "But I still need to stay here to protect you and Her Highness the Princess! I can't leave."

Qi Yu looked at Li Minghai and said calmly, "You can refuse, but if the contents cannot be handed over to His Highness the Crown Prince, or fall into the hands of the Chang family, then I can tell you very clearly."

"Even with the help of a grandmaster, His Highness the Crown Prince will still fail!"

When the Holy Maiden of the Blood God Sect intervened, Li Ming survived. At that moment, Qi Yu realized that Li Zhen, the Grandmaster of the Li family, was Li Ming's man.

Therefore, when making the plan, Qi Yu also included the Grandmaster.

Upon hearing this, Li Minghai's expression turned serious as he looked at the box he was holding.

"But what about the princess and you?" Li Minghai asked, frowning.

Qi Yu frowned. Why was this guy so stubborn?

Li Ming has lost. What will happen to the Li family? Do I need to remind them further?

Are you still thinking about protecting Li Yulan?

Can't distinguish between what's important and what's trivial? You've got it all backwards, haven't you?

"Then take Li Yulan with you and bring her back to the capital. I'll give you my things, and you can do whatever you want with them."

"But if the contents of the box leak out because of you, causing the project to fail, then it's not my responsibility."

That stubborn guy doesn't understand the seriousness of the situation.

No wonder he could only be a guard!

Why did I repeatedly emphasize that I must make sure it's handed over to Li Ming?

It's because the contents of the box are very, very important, and I don't trust anyone else with them.

Li Minghai's expression kept changing, as if he was struggling.

After a long pause, Li Minghai raised his head, his face resolute.

"I will make sure it reaches His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Qi Yu nodded, then watched Li Minghai leave.

If Marquis Guanyong has indeed joined forces with the aristocratic families, then the plan can be brought forward.

Originally, I intended to personally hand over the contents of the box to Li Ming when I went to the capital.

But that's not possible now!

Moreover, this backup plan only has a 40% success rate.

Because he was unfamiliar with the strength of martial artists above the third rank, he was unsure whether these unexpected factors would exceed his expectations.

This is a gamble!

If you have witnessed a first-rank martial artist in action and know their approximate combat strength, you can develop a countermeasure. In that case, the success rate of the plan is at least 80%.

But now, we have no choice but to take a gamble.

Su Yue stood at the door, watching Qi Yu's back.

She knew what was in the box Qi Yu gave to Li Minghai.

She knew Qi Yu's plan perfectly well, and she had to admit that her husband was truly extraordinary.

If my husband had truly witnessed the terror of a first-rank martial artist, he might actually succeed.

However, Qi Yu had never seen a first-rank martial artist in action and did not understand the terror of a first-rank martial artist. The most important part of his plan would run into problems.

If this link fails, the other links will also fail.

Moreover, and most importantly, Li Ming did not tell Qi Yu that besides Li Zhen, he had another grandmaster by his side.

Li Ming concealed something from Qi Yu, which means that Li Ming does not truly and completely trust Qi Yu.

However, Su Yue did not intend to tell Qi Yu about the other grandmaster, since she was confident that she could protect Qi Yu.

As for who that grandmaster is, she has already found out in the past few days.

After all, there are only so many grandmasters; a little investigation will make it clear.

With the help of two grandmasters, Li Ming could easily sweep through the entire Chang family. However, Li Ming was cautious in everything he did, which Su Yue did not understand.

Because Li Ming was being too cautious, could the Chang family possibly have any other experts?

……

That afternoon, Qi Yu took Su Yue to Tongyun City, and they finally arrived at the Su residence in the middle of the night.

Neither Su Chengying nor Xu Shuqin slept, as if they had known all along that Qi Yu was coming.

Xu Shuqin took Su Yue away, leaving only Qi Yu and Su Chengying in the study.

Su Chengying looked at Qi Yu without saying a word.

"I'm sorry, Father-in-law, because of me, the Su family has been implicated."

Su Chengying looked at Qi Yu and said indifferently, "Things have come to this point, there's no point in saying more. What do you plan to do?"

He had heard a little about what happened between Qi Yu and Li Ming. Qi Yu was just an ordinary person who was simply caught in the crossfire.

And frankly, he wasn't particularly concerned. The forces capable of destroying his Su family probably hadn't appeared yet!

Even the Great Yun Dynasty wouldn't be able to do that.

The Su family of today is not the same as the Su family of a hundred years ago.

Qi Yu took out a piece of paper covered with writing and handed it to Su Chengying.

Su Chengying took it, looked at it, and then his expression turned strange. He then gave Qi Yu a complicated look.

My son-in-law is even more suited to be a demonic cultivator than I am.

If his plan were implemented, many people would die.

After reading it, Su Chengying casually placed the plan on the candle and watched it burn.

Are you sure you want to do this?

Qi Yu nodded and said, "If Marquis Guanyong really joins forces with the Chang family, this is the only way to protect the Su family."

"Even if many people die?" Su Chengying asked calmly.

“That’s right! Even if many people die!” Qi Yu looked directly at Su Chengying and said seriously.

Su Chengying looked at Qi Yu, then the corners of his mouth turned up slightly. He used to look down on Qi Yu, but now he admired him.

Because Qi Yu is very similar to himself, he sees his younger self in Qi Yu.

For the first time, I felt that this son-in-law was quite good, and that my daughter hadn't married the wrong person.

"Are you aware of the flaws in your plan?" Su Chengying asked.

Qi Yu nodded and said, "I know, that first-rank martial artist from the Chang family!"

The key to victory or defeat lies in surrounding and killing the first-rank martial artist from the Chang family.

The encirclement and kill were successful! Mission accomplished!

The encirclement failed, and the whole operation was lost!

This is a gamble!

He didn't understand the strength of a first-grade martial artist and couldn't estimate how many people would be needed to kill one.

Therefore, he could only concentrate as much of his forces as possible to kill this first-rank martial artist, provided that he had a reasonably sufficient number of people in other areas.

He wasn't sure if that would be enough, but he had no choice but to take a gamble!

Because if Marquis Guanyong and the aristocratic families send their men, and they are fully prepared, then the ones I will need to deal with are the Chang family and the Chilin Army.

“I know a grandmaster who has many martial artists under his command, including first and second-rank warriors. I’ll take you to visit him tomorrow!” Su Chengying said.

Qi Yu was taken aback upon hearing this, then his face lit up with joy, and he hurriedly bowed in greeting.

"Thank you very much, Father-in-law!"
