Chapter 1506 -s 1454-1455: The Wager, The Bait
The Southern Pole Imperial Palace had a grand scheme in preparation, a matter of such significance that it warranted the attention of all parties involved and was inevitably shrouded in secrecy.
Yet Lu Bing managed to obtain this information without much effort, simply because Pang Hong had deliberately allowed him to discover it.
"Indeed, as the elder predicted, the Jade Emperor’s treacherous heart persists," whispered Pang Hong, a trace of severity flashing in his eyes as he spoke to Yu Zhenzi.
It was well known that over the years, although the lineage of the Jade Emperor and the Shenxiao Lineage had lost the closeness they once shared, the two remained at peace, keeping to their own affairs without interfering with each other.
Consequently, when they were ready to act this time, Pang Hong hadn’t considered the lineage of the Jade Emperor as part of the potential plans.

With Pang Hong’s power growing over the years, he increasingly resembled Pei Xuanjing, dedicating more energy to cultivation, since the development of the Shenxiao Sect was thriving and required little concern on his part.
Thus, many matters of the sect fell to Yu Zhenzi and a few other elders to handle.
