Chapter 1712: Who Do You Think You Are?
Hmm? They did that?
Ye Qing wasn’t expecting that. He thought that the conspiracy she was speaking of was the Black Water Divine Sect’s desire to sacrifice countless lives to unlock the seal of the Black Water Divine Kingdom and resurrect the Black Water Heavenly God. However, it was clear he was mistaken.
However, it would not do to admit his mistake and spoil his lofty image, so he said, “Naturally. But how did you find out about this?”
“Although I was possessed and controlled by the Tie of Gluttony, I ultimately managed to preserve a sliver of my consciousness. Earlier, I heard some worshipers of the Black Water Divine Sect ordering the Tie of Gluttony to delay you and waste your energy at all costs. The elites of the Black Water Divine Sect are going to show up any moment to capture you and offer you as a sacrifice to the Black Water Heavenly God.”
The queen of Old Jingjue said after her explanation, “I was going to warn you about their conspiracy, but it would seem that you have already divined their movement. I suppose I should have known better.”
“Even so, I appreciate the warning,” Ye Qing replied. He was both unsurprised and surprised by this discovery.
He was unsurprised, because he had killed many divine children and divine envoys and ruined multiple ritual sacrifices at this point. If the Black Water Divine Sect still did not realize what he was doing and failed to respond accordingly, then they did not deserve to plot the end of humanity or whatever. They should have become farmers and led a stable and boring life instead.
Therefore, it had always been a matter of time before the Black Water Divine Sect attacked him. This was nothing to be surprised about.
What surprised him was the fact that the Black Water Divine Sect predicted his arrival at Old Jingjue and prepared for it.
After all, he hadn’t planned his itinerary based on distance or convenience. He randomized it specifically to keep the Black Water Divine Sect guessing about his whereabouts and next destination. It was the same for Feng Qingyou.
On top of that, he and Feng Qingyou were Sages possessing powerful concealment Strange Artifacts. It was extremely difficult for anyone to divine their location.
This way, no matter how much the Black Water Divine Sect loathed him, they would not be able to prepare effectively against their advance or set up an ambush. They could do nothing but be toyed with.
