When Diwu Qingrou walked out, the four old men in white robes all had their eyes closed, motionless.
But Diwu Qingrou still smiled and bowed, saying, “I have not disgraced my mission.”
The four did not say a word.
Then Diwu Qingrou walked out, disappearing at the door.
After he left, the four opened their eyes simultaneously, exchanging glances. The old man in the center softly said, “This person is usable. It’s just a pity he doesn’t bear the Zhuge surname.”
The four then closed their eyes again.
As Diwu Qingrou floated out, the sky was beginning to brighten.
He strolled along the path, gazing up at the remnants of stars still visible in the sky and the direction where the sun was rising, smiling as he quietly said again, “I have not disgraced my mission!”
Then he quickened his pace, returning to his small courtyard, sitting in his study, finally exhaling a long breath.
After catching his breath, he felt his emotions calm completely, then slowly walked to a large map hanging on the wall, furrowing his brow and staring at it for a long time.
He then lightly tapped the position of the Zhuge family on the map and drew the shape of a knife in the air, smiling slightly.
The shape of the Zhuge family on the map resembled a small gourd.
And the knife he imitated drawing was exactly positioned at the neck of this gourd. If this gourd were a person, it would be a steel knife hanging over its neck!
A deadly threat!
Then Diwu Qingrou furrowed his brows in contemplation, silently calculating in his heart.
This time, he would use his methods, leveraging the rise of the Three Star Holy Clan, and mobilizing the entire Zhuge family to respond; then secretly contact the senior management of the Three Star Holy Clan, intending to take advantage of the situation, but did not expect their conditions would be like this...
Setting a trap, moving the senior members of the Zhuge family, capturing the elder three of the Three Star Holy Clan who was basically willing to step into the trap, and then laying down a grand scheme!
Pushing Zhuge Changfeng, whom he usually found most displeasing and who looked down on him the most, out to his death; conveniently fulfilling this agreement.
Firstly, he would gain another helping hand, and secondly, it would mean establishing an incredibly powerful opponent for the Zhuge family!
Thinking this, Diwu Qingrou couldn't help but smile. In this way, once the timing was right, how could the Zhuge family not be destroyed?
Once the Zhuge family perished, there would no longer be a wise family in the upper three heavens, then... besides my Fifth family, who else could take on the great responsibilities?
Thus, it could also be considered a repayment of the Fifth family's hatred accumulated over thousands of years... and a rise to power...
With these thoughts, Diwu Qingrou finally sighed deeply.
Remembering the suffering the elder three of the holy clan had endured during this time, he took a deep breath, admiring yet deeply wary.
A dignified saint level eighth grade expert, who would be willing to endure the shame of being captured?
If he were unwilling, even if two supreme beings attacked him, he could not escape, and could calmly end his own life; how could he possibly be captured?
Not to mention that after being captured, he would also have to endure that kind of inhumane torture! And it had to give the impression that he truly couldn’t hold on before confessing... to numb them!
This elder three could be said to have sacrificed everything, including his dignity!
And all of this was merely to send something suitable to the one who was awakening...
Such loyalty, such sacrifice...
All for a vague hope!
What kind of mentality is this? If one day, I were to be an enemy to such a foe...
Diwu Qingrou sighed.
He couldn’t help but feel curious about who that awakening being really was. The Zhuge family had offended that awakening being so severely this time... there should be consequences...
Thinking of this, Diwu Qingrou smiled.
He thought: this Nine Heavens is indeed chaotic; the storm stirred up by the nine calamity sword master has not yet subsided, and now there is an awakening being from the holy clan. Truly, a tempest is approaching.
