Martial Cultivator

Before leaving the Divine Capital, Chen Chao had already told him the details of this plan. The most crucial prerequisite was that as soon as he returned to the Infatuation Daoist Temple, news of the Chief Enforcer being severely injured would inevitably spread to lure him into action.

At the time, he had asked Chen Chao, "What if I make a move and the Chief Enforcer takes the opportunity to kill me?"

Back then, Chen Chao had merely smiled faintly and said to himself, "Yinli took the position of temple master, but he has never been able to sit securely. You, Yun Jianyue, have considerable prestige within the Infatuation Daoist Temple. He naturally won't kill you, because while it may seem reasonable in the moment, it would be highly detrimental to his position as temple master. At most, he would imprison you, using it to showcase his magnanimity and to make the other disciples remember this incident, ensuring they would no longer oppose him."

Yun Jianyue had remained silent at the time and did not answer.

So Chen Chao continued, "Although my plan ensures that nothing will happen to you, you're still staking your life on this. If you're afraid, you can simply choose not to go through with it."

Indeed, in this world, no plan is ever foolproof. No one can say for certain whether some flaw might arise within a scheme. Even the greatest strategists in history have never lived a life without a single failure.

"If that's truly the case, then it's all within your plan. Why should I fear?"

That was Yun Jianyue's response at the time. Now, having returned to the temple, things unfolded just as Chen Chao had predicted. After thinking it over, Yun Jianyue returned to his cave residence and began meditating.

In the blink of an eye, midnight arrived.
