Chapter 147 Conspiracy
Chapter 147 Conspiracy
Meanwhile, inside the Demon Palace...
A seductive voice rang out; the person was none other than the current ruler of the Demon Clan, the Demon Queen!
"What did you say?"
"The Buddhist disciples have laid the foundation for the path! All sentient beings who come and go are great beings; the Buddhist sect is likely about to truly rise!"
A voice, hoarse and husky, rang out from a figure draped in a black robe, whose face was obscured by black mist.
"Indeed, back then, the great master who cultivated the Path of All Beings single-handedly led Buddhism to become one of the four major sects in the Realm of the Azure Sky, making Buddhism famous throughout the world. This time, Buddhism is probably going to reach an even higher level!"
The Demon Queen chuckled and said, "Heh! This is exactly the result I wanted. Back then, Buddhism suddenly rose to prominence and even showed signs of surpassing Taoism. The competition between Buddhism and Taoism was fierce. If it weren't for the fact that several powerful figures from Taoism suppressed several powerful figures from Buddhism, and then the sudden return of that long-lost practitioner of the Path of All Beings, Taoism would have remained in first place!"
"Over the years, the four major sects have maintained a peaceful and harmonious relationship on the surface, but in private, the Buddhist sect and the Taoist sect have been the most fiercely fighting. Now that a prodigy has emerged in the Buddhist sect, and a prodigy who cultivates the Path of All Beings, the balance of the four major sects has been broken, and the conflict between Buddhism and Taoism is probably unavoidable."
After listening, the man in black robes said, "The supreme beings of Buddhism and Taoism naturally cannot avoid it! The systems of these two major sects are very similar, but their core is different, and some of their views even contradict each other. Two tigers cannot share one mountain, so naturally neither of them will take the other seriously!"
"The Demon Queen wants to take advantage of this to incite infighting among the righteous factions, so we can fish in troubled waters!"
The Demon Queen nodded slightly and said, "That's right. However, those old guys are extremely united when facing the struggle against alien races. If we make too obvious a move, it will be counterproductive!"
Then, changing the subject, he said, "But now the Demon Emperor is sealed away, and the Demon Clan is scattered. There is only one chance left, which forces me to take a gamble. I must find the Seven Star Pearl and rescue the Demon Emperor and the Demon King. Otherwise, the human race is constantly growing stronger, while we are powerless to fight back. Sooner or later, we will be wiped out by them!"
After saying this, the Demon Queen's eyes flashed with purple light, a fierce glint appearing in them. She continued, "Therefore, the search for the Seven Star Pearls to rescue the Demon Emperor and the Demon King must be carried out. We must also instigate infighting among the human race. I will slowly boil the frog in lukewarm water, making their prodigies perish in a reasonable and justifiable way!"
"I have complete faith in you, and I've decided to entrust this matter to you. Remember to take it one step at a time, and try your best not to arouse their suspicion!"
The man in black robes responded in a deep voice, and then disappeared without a sound!
Afterwards, the Demon Queen sat alone in the empty palace, enveloped in endless loneliness. Her eyes were somewhat vacant, as if she were lost in thought, pondering something important!
Then I heard her muttering softly, "Why? Why is the world so unfair? Some people are born as God's favorites, they can have whatever they want, but some people are born as if they are slaves, they are always trying to change, they just want to survive, such a basic requirement, but they have to fight for it desperately! We just want a way to live, is that wrong?"
Then, as if suddenly awakened, she showed a moment of confusion on her face. After that, she closed her eyes tightly, and when she opened them again, her aura became sharp!
A demonic message suddenly appeared before the Demon Queen. She took it, and a voice rang out!
"Demon Queen! Miao Lian is protected by a group of Buddhist disciples, and his subordinates cannot get close to him. However, he went to Luanshipo to perform a ritual to exorcise the evil cultivator Guyao Madam, but it seems he failed and the two sides started fighting. Suddenly, a giant teleportation array appeared, and inside it were Qingwu and Yu Bingwen, who were sent by the Dao Sect to the mortal world to find the Jade Marrow Pearl!"
Upon hearing the latest news from her spies, the Demon Queen turned pale with anger. She slammed her hand on the throne and roared, "Useless! You can't even handle two people behind you!"
After she finished cursing, she closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and recalled the spy's words again. She asked in confusion, "Teleportation array? Could it be that they escaped from the mountains and seas through a teleportation array set up by ancient cultivators?"
"Hmph! As expected of the chosen one of heaven, the heavens are indeed biased. He's still alive after all that; he's incredibly lucky!"
