Chapter 194: Lies
Hearing this, the down-and-out scholar spoke with a thoughtful expression, "I have heard that several significant things recently occurred in the Great Li capital, one of which was that the Emperor Yuanwu acknowledged a new Eighth Prince. Apparently that prince had been living among common people for some time and had never appeared in the Great Li court before. Could this perhaps be the very person?"
The other three exchanged glances, and the elderly man Wu Yong said slowly, "That possibility cannot be ruled out. But regardless of which prince has moved, the likelihood that the Great Li court is genuinely acting against Falling God Peak this time is not low."
"And given that Momo is convinced this prince's martial cultivation is unfathomably deep, he may well be the very source of the Great Li court's confidence in this matter."
At those words, the full-figured woman Lin Tang's expression shifted, and she looked toward the elderly man, saying, "An opportunity like this is extremely rare. Perhaps it is also an opportunity for us."
At that, both the down-and-out scholar Sui Zhen and the young woman Lin Yuer had a flash of sharp light pass through their eyes.
"I suggest we pass this information back to the order immediately. If it is confirmed that the Great Li court and Falling God Peak are truly in conflict, we who are of divine nature absolutely cannot sit by and watch."
Lin Yuer spoke in a firm voice, while Sui Zhen narrowed his eyes and said, "When the snipe and the clam fight, it is the fisherman who profits. Even if the Great Li court cannot bring down Falling God Peak, it will certainly throw the other side into considerable turmoil."
"If we seize the opportunity to ascend Falling God Peak and take the blood of divine nature they have accumulated over the years, both our divine power and the strength of our order will rise to an entirely new level."
At those words, the three of them fell silent for a moment, and in the end the elderly man Wu Yong spoke, "We send word back to the order first. With Momo keeping watch on that group, we can also confirm their intentions from the shadows and know their whereabouts at any time."
