Within the Bamboo Heaven Cave, Yi Chen sat opposite King Jing.
Between the two of them, there lay a chessboard resembling Xiangqi, complete with Chariots, Horses, and Elephants.
"Your Highness, trust in my judgnt, no matter how ingenious the sche, there will always be clever people who notice the spider’s threads and horse tracks."
"Therefore, rather than having our flaws pointed out by others, let’s set the tempo ourselves."
"Your Highness, you start by spreading the word that I’m intentionally concealing my talent, then debunk it yourself. I have already highlighted all the details and inford Your Highness."
First shoot the arrow, then draw the target, this was Yi Chen’s current tactic.
The ’easter eggs’ he hid during the great battle were truly plentiful; just a slight guidance in the rhythm, and there would be plenty of busybodies to debate for him, ultimately overwheld by an onslaught of information.
To fade into the background, he even selected more than a dozen cultivators also ’hiding their skills’. Once this beca a trend, the attention on him would naturally wane, and only then could he upgrade his scythe of reaping to a combined harvester.
"Your Highness, the people of the Controlling Spirit Holy Puppet Sect have been showing strong ambition recently, even challenging the Wuding Divine Sect. This can be dug into deeper."
"That Xue Lingzi and the True Monarch Tian Ku of this sect have participated in the war and are highly suspicious; they are definitely concealing their skills. Lead the attention to these two specifically."
"General!"
After thinking for a while, Yi Chen added another line.
To effectively target soone, one must not only hide themselves properly but also provide others with a distraction to vent their focus. If the attention shifted onto others, wouldn’t the fire focused on Yi Taoist be less?
"Hidden Dragon Taoist, such talent—" King Jing looked at Yi Chen with a complicated expression. Over these days, he had seen many of Yi Chen’s tricks, both aboveboard and underhanded.
So were sinister, and so were outright brutal strategies, unavoidable, yet the effects were startlingly successful.
He felt deep sha for his previous statent that the Hidden Dragon Taoist had a pure and kind heart.
At this mont, King Jing suddenly thought of a possibility. How could the Martial King’s movents be concealed from him?
He couldn’t help but ask Yi Chen, "Taoist, in this battle, I have nearly staked my entire fortune. If the Martial King’s hidden man ascends to the Dao Mastery Realm just before the battle, how confident are you?"
"A breakthrough to the Dao Mastery Realm on the eve of battle? How impressive."
"Then I’ll just transform, won’t I~"
Yi Chen looked at King Jing, who was sowhat anxious, clearly aware of his concerns about the person the Martial King was hiding.
"General! Your Highness, you’ve lost!"
Yi Chen slowly stood up and burst into a hearty laugh:
"Across the Chu River and Han boundaries, I call the shots, dominating all sides!"
"In this volatile world, I dictate the flow, defeating all heroes!"
"Since I dare to enter this mortal battlefield, how could I have no assurance? Rest easy, Your Highness."
Amidst the laughter, Yi Chen’s figure slowly vanished on the spot. After King Jing finished the fine wine in his cup, his uneasy heart was smoothed by the strong confidence in that laughter, and he beca calm again.

"The clouds part for the autumn moon, swords flash like falling teors!"
"I’ve comprehended (liao)"
"Hai Tianwu, take my sword! Celestial Waterfall teor!"
