Zhang Bairen was sowhat taken aback.
Lady Houtu?
Lady Houtu is considered a very low-profile Saint in the entire Primordial Chaos universe, rarely seen.
So even say she can only be considered half a Saint.
As one of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, after the catastrophe of the past, she chose to beco a Saint through virtue, becoming the embodint of the Six Paths of Reincarnation. But the side effects of this path to sainthood are enormous, essentially imprisoning her in the Underworld, unable to move, tantamount to living in a cage.
"Wouldn’t taking action against Lady Houtu be a bit over the line?"
Zhang Bairen pondered for a while.
To be honest, he had a very good impression of Lady Houtu.
Gentle and benevolent, as honest and reliable as the earth, she treats people with great friendliness and harmony.
She has always acted low-key, being the Six Paths of Reincarnation, collecting souls and constantly benefiting the Three Realms.
"Among the Saints, she is considered to have the best character." Zhang Bairen said.
"Hehehe."
Zhu Zhengwei just laughed coldly a few tis.
You, Zhang Bairen, with no morals, tricking people everywhere, even secretly wearing won’s clothes, ambushing Li Shimin of the Lower Realm, bullying the weak with the strong, now suddenly starting to consider people’s character, have you gone mad?
Zhu Zhengwei could only sigh in exasperation.
Moreover, dreaming you are a good person isn’t very unusual, is it?
The real self in reality might very well be a murderer, an utterly evil villain.
And right before him, her real self was clearly a female bandit leader!!
Bad to the core!
In the past, heroes of your era, with our help, were still roaring in battle against this evil dragon, right?
Now she’s holding a mountain of gold and silver and sleeping in the neighboring Daoist Palace, and we can’t even get in... She grinds us to the teeth, if you knew the truth, you’d be even more indignant than I am!
However, Zhu Zhengwei naturally couldn’t reveal the truth.
Zhu Zhengwei just calmly said, "You are a forr Jade Emperor; you’ve seen enough of the Three Realms and Six Paths’ ugliness... you know better than anyone that being good-natured and gentle is precisely why they’re easy targets for us!"
"Yes, indeed." Zhang Bairen seed sowhat in agreent.
This universe is cruel and real.
The life of a strong person is always built on mountains of corpses and seas of blood, inevitably stepping over others to rise, even if they bear no grudges or enmity, even if the other is a good person; they can only do so.
"Indeed, that’s exactly it."
Zhu Zhengwei nodded emphatically, showing an impartial, emotionless deanor, "Honestly, it’s not about anyone in particular. How could I, Zhenyuanzi, have a grudge with Lady Houtu?? She is currently the easiest target among all the Saints!"
Taking advantage of this female bandit leader dreaming herself as a good person, simple and honest, one could exact revenge in good ti!
Miss this chance, and it will be gone.
Zhu Zhengwei looked at the forr Jade Emperor in front of him, continuously attempting to convince, "Moreover, among the Saints, who is the weakest?? Naturally, it’s Lady Houtu, who can’t move and has beco the Six Paths of Reincarnation."
Zhang Bairen was indeed sowhat persuaded.
Picking on the most kindhearted, the weakest, is truly the best option.
And Zhu Zhengwei continued, "There’s also a crucial point."
"What?" Zhang Bairen showed a hint of curiosity.
"’Worldly’ Primordial Chaos, though hidden and extrely difficult to detect, will eventually be discovered one day." Zhu Zhengwei said, "By then, our people will hold key positions in the Three Realms, and when we take them back to the Bo’er Cosmos, the Primordial Chaos universe will be emptied... The Saints will surely be greatly enraged! We can then fra it as the work of one of the Saints."
"You an, fra ’Worldly Primordial Chaos’ as Lady Houtu’s clandestine layout?" Zhang Bairen looked at Zhu Zhengwei with a peculiar expression.
Unexpectedly, this seemingly kind, neutral Zhenyuanzi has indeed turned bad.
No.
Perhaps he was just that bad all along, wearing a façade.
Zhang Bairen straightened up, imdiately speaking, "Framing Lady Houtu, I understand your idea! It’s to split the Saints of the Primordial Chaos, let them fight internally... so we can reap the rewards. However, wouldn’t the Saints be wary? They’re not easy to deceive; after a few investigations, they will surely clear Lady Houtu’s na!"
No innocence to be cleared.
Zhu Zhengwei laughed softly.
If she’s investigated, so clues are sure to surface.
He’d already seen the terrifying sches of the Saints from that female bandit; he had no doubts about their ticulous and astute abilities.
If I quietly help reveal a little fault, that will be enough...
If you intend to hide behind the scenes like , as the manipulator, secretly developing, waiting to reap benefits? I have to drag you out, expose you to the sunlight, don’t I?
But, Zhu Zhengwei still couldn’t reveal the truth.
"Yes, once the Saints investigate, they will definitely clear Lady Houtu’s na!"
Zhu Zhengwei maintained a calm expression, "But, fellow Daoist, framing Lady Houtu montarily can also buy us so ti, which is a good thing."
"Moreover, Lady Houtu controls the Reincarnation Rules. This ’Worldly’ ga follows rebirth rules, quite similar to the powers Lady Houtu is proficient in... Framing her is the best choice."
Zhu Zhengwei laid out his plan in full.
"In the past hundred years, we’ve already accumulated so foundation, planted personnel in various realms, even the Human Emperor, Jade Emperor, King Yama, Guanshiyin, are within our organization, helping us cover up certain traces... Now we’ll first dispatch ’Worldly’ players to release the main plot mission, with the main goal to undermine the Underworld...."
"We will clear out the forces, talents, and treasures under this Saint, leaving her with nothing, and after raiding her Daoist Palace, then execute the second step, framing her!"
This two-step plan is quite ticulous. Zhang Bairen couldn’t help but nod as he listened.
Malicious.
Truly malicious!
This was setting soone up for disaster.
But it could be understood; after all, they are adversaries, and setting traps is the norm.
Zhu Zhengwei then looked towards the direction of the sleeping Daoist Palace, saying:
"Fellow Daoist, that female Saint, although she has fallen back asleep.... But she is our master of Saints, the leader of our cosmos! We are to launch a probing attack on the Primordial Chaos universe while she sleeps!"
"Taking action against Houtu and framing her to incite self-conflict within the Primordial Chaos..."
"When she awakens and sees what we’ve done, with the Primordial Chaos universe greatly diminished, she, as the Saint Leader, will surely praise us greatly!"
Zhang Bairen listened to a series of plans, and even he felt they were utterly perfect.
No matter how, targeting Lady Houtu was the best path, even if that insidious female Saint wakes up, would she not follow it?
The kindest.
The weakest.
Her reincarnation rules are the easiest to slander.
An absolutely perfect match from all perspectives, a destined choice.
"Very well, fellow Daoist, I will fully cooperate with your plan. Co to think of it, after undergoing a series of Daoist Palace plundering events, I’m already quite accustod to it." Zhang Bairen laughed, suddenly feeling a bright future ahead.
"I’ll accompany you in ambushing Lady Houtu and raiding her Daoist Palace, as my Daoist Palace does have so emptiness that needs replenishing!"
