Chapter 718 Echo 5: Who Takes the Blame for Whom?

Yes, Lingxu City has many enemies, why did all the previous invasions fail?

Why did Fang Canran lurk in Lingxu City for decades and just couldn't find a chance to attack? Could this be the norm?

Why did only He Lingchuan succeed in one strike?

Was he too lucky?

Can luck take all the responsibility for accomplishing such a big thing?

After all the calculations, all the variables ultimately come down to "people".

Although Dong Rui was also a participant, he couldn't find the answer, so he could only touch his chin and change the subject: "Are you really not afraid that they will find you?"

"I'm afraid." He Lingchuan told the truth, "but they should go in the wrong direction in the short term. Well, in the short term."

"What do you mean?"

"If you were the Heavenly Palace and the Demon Emperor, would you think that the people who disturbed Xushan and Lingxu City were actually two groups of people?"

Dong Rui shook his head without thinking.

"The turmoil in Lingxu City was obviously carefully planned and was done by an organization." He Lingchuan still remembered the violent methods of Fang Canran's organization.

"So the focus of Lingxu City's investigation will also be this organization. Aren't those demons that disturbed Lingxu City conspicuous enough? Lingxu City, how about starting with them?" He Lingchuan spread his hands, "I have almost no connection with this organization, except Fang Canran. As long as I act carefully, I won't appear on the suspect list of Tiangong for at least a period of time."

He smiled brightly: "From this result, it is Fang Canran and the organization behind him who took the blame for me."

Fang Canran used He Lingchuan's Xushan plan to cause chaos in Lingxu City.

And He Lingchuan used them to divert the attention of Tiangong and seek temporary safety.

Both sides have gained something, and neither side is at a disadvantage.

Dong Rui doubted: "I really won't suspect you?"

"No matter how meticulous the plan is, it will be exposed during execution. This is inevitable." The Xushan plan pursues success, and saving lives is the first priority during the retreat, so it is inevitable that some secrets will be leaked. Lingxu City has many talents, how could it be impossible not to catch him completely?

Apart from other things, he had used Zhu Erniang's amber blood bead once before when he fought Fan Sheng in Baisha. Although the spiders summoned in the two battles were different in size, number and appearance, it was hard to guarantee that no one would associate them.

However, no matter how he tried to cover up his secrets when he went into the mountains to steal Zhu Erniang's immortal molt, the Heavenly Palace would know that he had a relationship with Zhu Erniang, so it was not surprising that he had some magical powers of the spider demon.

However, He Lingchuan still had great confidence in the gods.

Or rather, he had great confidence in Miao Zhantian's touchstone magic. Since he had passed Miao Zhantian's trial, he should have been cleared of the charges, and the gods should have believed that he had no connection with the Dafang Pot.

In this way, even if there were some flaws in the Xushan plan, they might not necessarily identify him as the person.

Under the premise that there were other suspects to pursue, they would not put him at the top of the list.

Dong Rui asked again: "Okay, since you can predict the future, then tell me, what will be the end of the rock fire monster Juju?"

"End?" He Lingchuan said nonchalantly, "It is now proud of itself. As long as it does not make mistakes or fall into traps, it will live a comfortable life in the future."

"Huh?" Dong Rui did not believe it, "You mean it collapsed the Heavenly Palace, but it is fine? Will the gods and the demon emperor forgive it?"

"It is inevitable to hold a grudge, and it will be a matter for the future." He Lingchuan smiled, "There are priorities, and the Heavenly Palace and Lingxu City are currently The first priority is to quell the rebellion and save face. At this time, it is right to stabilize Zhuoju and prevent the volcano from erupting again. "

"Since we left the territory of Xushan, the volcanic eruption stopped; but when the Leiqing beast attacked Lingxu City, Tianshu Peak erupted again. I think this is because the Tiangong and Zhuoju failed to reach an agreement in the negotiation, and Zhuoju was trying to deceive the Tiangong. If Zhuoju didn't take the opportunity, he wouldn't be able to get a suitable price. "

Zuoju was suppressed by the spirit gathering formation for more than ten years. He was directly downgraded from a dignified mountain god to a watchdog. The Tiangong also withheld its rations. Once he was liberated and free, wouldn't he vent his anger?

Besides, after cooperating for so long, he has some understanding of the personality of this rock fire monster. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as greedy. Otherwise, why did the Tiangong suppress it back then? It was because it was asking for too much and its appetite was getting bigger and bigger, and even Lingxu City felt that it couldn't afford it.

Now that it has regained its freedom, of course it will ask the Tiangong for a sky-high price.

Tiangong and Lingxu City can only pay back the money on the spot.

Lingxu City at this time can't stand another turmoil, and both sides are very clear about this.

So He Lingchuan didn't need to go to the scene in person, and he knew that Tiangong would most likely give in to Zhuoju and agree to its excessive conditions.

After all, Tiangong has a long list of urgent tasks to do. The first one is to appease Zhuoju and let it not make trouble under its butt, so that it can spare energy to do other things.

Dong Rui was puzzled: "Does the majestic palace of Tiangong have to be located in Xushan? The gathering spirit formation has been broken, can't Tiangong find another place to build the palace?" Must it sit on the crater?

"The wisest way is, as you said, to move the palace to another place." He Lingchuan said with a smile, "But if Zhuju is unhappy, it will still cause unrest in Lingxu City. Besides, the Tiangong is located at the highest peak of Xushan Mountain, which is the belief of the Beijia people for 600 years. In order to keep this belief, they don't want to move if there is still a possibility."

To put it another way, if the Tiangong moved the building to another place due to the threat of Zhuju, it would be a huge loss of face. It is equivalent to admitting with practical actions that they are no match for a rock fire monster.

So, they don't move if they can.

But He Lingchuan is sure that the Tiangong is not a pushover.

It has always been high and mighty, but this time it has to swallow its anger. When this storm subsides, it will definitely find a way to make Juju look bad.

Juju, this rock fire monster, is born with a rebellious nature. Later, he wanted to cooperate with Tiangong, so he must use He Lingchuan's information to repair the relationship.

Fortunately, He Lingchuan had foreseen it and never let his fire man clone know his name, where he lives, and what he looks like.

"Juju and Tiangong are bound to have a grudge." He Lingchuan continued, "Not to mention other losses, Tiangong will hate Juju to the bone just because of the theft of the sacred object."

Let them pull each other, He Lingchuan thinks it's good this way.

Dong Rui smiled and said, "If Juju creates a few more earthquakes, Lingxu City will not be able to bear it."

He Lingchuan shook his head: "I guess earthquakes are not that easy to create. I'm afraid it consumes a lot of energy. Juju itself also needs to compromise."

After walking fifty miles, the sky became overcast again.

After walking another thirty miles, drizzling rain continued.

Dong Rui was half wet in his autumn shirt, but he was not worried but happy: "Sure enough, we are chasing the rain?"

"Yes, from here all the way to the west, there are rain belts." He Lingchuan said with a smile, "As long as we control the speed and keep up with the rhythm of the rain, we can keep going through the underground passage. The chance of Beijia finding Aunt Zhu is very small."

This is also the most important reason why he chose to go west. He has done such a feat as making trouble in the Heavenly Palace, so he must not fall on an insignificant detail in the end.

He handed Dong Rui a map wrapped in oil paper: "On the way to the west, we will pass through several towns and markets. There may be some summer cypress left in the warehouse. I have marked it on the map."

Dong Rui was overjoyed and snatched it: "You even got this?" This kid is so thoughtful that he even considered the worries.

He Lingchuan smiled but said nothing.

The snail toad needs to take summer cypress regularly, otherwise he can't use the big shell "mud palace" on his back. This is the problem that they must solve first during their retreat.

This map is a summary of the information provided by Fang Canran and the gibbon Lao Ge.

There is a deviation, but it should not be big.

A few lightning flashes and thunders, and the drizzle suddenly turned into a heavy rain.

Dong Rui screamed: "Go to the Mud Palace!"

He Lingchuan took a deep breath of cold air. The adventure of the day before seemed like a lifetime ago. The lid of the Dafang Pot was taken away by him, and the Heavenly Palace and Lingxu City should no longer be able to sense the breath of the Dafang Pot.

The world is so big, and he can finally roam around!

From now on, the dragon enters the sea and the eagle flies into the sky.

"Where are we going next?" Dong Rui asked him, "Have you thought about it?"

He Lingchuan looked back at him and Aunt Zhu, and had already thought about it:

"How about going back to Yuan Country with me?"

He still has hidden dangers to eliminate.

Some things should be settled.

—— "The Utopia of Demons (Part 2)" ends, and the first part of "After the Immortals Disappear" ends.
