This is what the Linyuan Supreme was worried about.
Once a powerful figure like Sikong Zhen entered, there would be no way to hide, and he would inevitably be exposed. After all, Shihen Supreme was not someone to be underestimated.
Qin Chen smiled and said, “There’s no need to worry about this. Sikong Zhen's Kunmo Palace can accommodate powerful beings and conceal their presence. When the time comes, just bring the Kunmo Palace with you, and we’ll enter the Kunmo Palace, and you can lead us in.”
Everyone was taken aback.
Can this really work?
But on second thought, it seemed like a plausible idea.
If everyone entered the Kunmo Palace and was led in by Sikong Zhen, then when they suddenly made their move, Shihen Supreme would definitely not have enough time to react.
However, when Sikong Zhen heard this, his expression changed, and he looked at Qin Chen, “My Lord… the Kunmo Palace is a supreme treasure artifact. For Shihen Supreme not to notice, the Linyuan Supreme must have a certain level of control over the Kunmo Palace; it must be concealed within himself…”
Qin Chen smiled at Sikong Zhen, “Then just release a part of your control over the Kunmo Palace to the Linyuan Supreme, or do you not want to?”
Sikong Zhen hurriedly explained, “My Lord, it’s not that this subordinate is unwilling, but if the Kunmo Palace is controlled by the Linyuan Supreme, then our actions will be completely under his control. If everything goes according to plan, that would be fine, but if anything changes after we reach the Shihen Imperial Sect…”
At this point, Sikong Zhen hesitated.
What he said was quite implicit, causing everyone to pause in surprise.
But which one of them was an idiot? They quickly came to understand what Sikong Zhen was trying to convey, each of them wearing a strange expression as they looked at Qin Chen.
Indeed, Qin Chen's idea was good, but it also had a drawback.
That drawback was that the Linyuan Supreme must have a certain level of control over the Kunmo Palace.
However, the Kunmo Palace belonged to Sikong Zhen; it wasn't that he was unwilling, but once the Kunmo Palace was under the control of the Linyuan Supreme, then the actions of the powerful beings inside the Kunmo Palace would almost entirely be controlled by the Linyuan Supreme.
If the Linyuan Supreme were to turn against them once he entered the Shihen Imperial Sect, then both Qin Chen and Sikong Zhen would be in danger.
It could be said that after this was done, the life and death of Qin Chen and Sikong Zhen depended entirely on the Linyuan Supreme.
For a moment, the entire place fell silent, including the Linyuan Supreme, whose expression became anxious.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Qin Chen smiled, “I thought it was something serious; it turns out it’s because of this. Since I have accepted the Linyuan Supreme, I naturally trust his character, so there’s no need to say anything more. We’ll proceed according to my original plan.”
The Linyuan Supreme was immediately filled with gratitude and said excitedly, “My Lord, this subordinate will not fail in this mission.”
Qin Chen nodded, glancing around. He smiled and said, “However, there are too many of us here. If we all go to the Shihen Imperial Sect, we will inevitably arouse suspicion. Therefore, Linyuan Supreme, you should choose two protectors and elders to go ahead to the Shihen Imperial Sect to pay respects; the rest will follow me into the Kunmo Palace. When it’s time to strike, we will act all at once.”
Everyone present was taken aback.
But Sikong Zhen laughed, “Haha, this is a good idea.”
With only the Linyuan Supreme and two strong figures going ahead, the remaining powerful beings all entering the Kunmo Palace meant that they were effectively all hostages.
If the Linyuan Supreme dared to turn against them, then he and my Lord could swiftly eliminate all the powerful beings from the Linyuan Sacred Gate trapped in the Kunmo Palace. At that time, even if the Linyuan Supreme's plot succeeded, with all the powerful beings from the Linyuan Sacred Gate wiped out, leaving only a few behind, what would be the point?
