Chapter 202: A Hand's Turn, Clouds and Rain
The crowd was stunned.
Then, they suddenly realized.
"That's right, that's right."
"Inside there, who knows who the killer is? If you want to find the person who truly killed your own child to take revenge, it's impossible to directly find the real culprit."
"But if we target this Night Demon, we won't be wrong!"
"Others have killed at most a thousand or two, but this Night Demon has directly killed over thirty thousand. So, if he didn't kill my son, who did?"
"In the previous rounds, none of the headquarters' people died, but this time, with Night Demon winning first place, so many from the headquarters have died. If he's not the murderer, then who is?"
The crowd suddenly became excited.
Dongfang Sansan said, "So, we need to focus on this point."
"In the previous rounds of the Incubation to Deity Program, many from the Only Me Sect's headquarters didn't die. Even if some died, it was only a few unlucky ones. Basically, only the generals from the subordinate sects died in large numbers. That's why the Only Me Sect has been able to suppress them and forbid retaliation!"
"But this time, their own children have died. Will they accept this rule of no retaliation?"
Dongfang Sansan calmly said, "We all know that in the headquarters of the Only Me Sect, those noble families will not allow the offspring of collateral branches to participate in the Incubation to Deity Program. Those who die inside are definitely from the main branch, and the main branch represents... I've already explained this."
"But what you need to consider is not just this simple identity, but the meaning behind these eight words, 'Noble Bloodline, Key to Incubation.'"
"Many of you are also from noble families, and you should know that in such cases, they are usually the darlings of the family elders and the cherished treasures of the noble consorts. And what does this represent? It represents hatred! Extreme hatred!"
Dongfang Sansan said, "The most powerful force in this world is hatred. Do you understand?"
"So, what we need to do most is to stir up this hatred and keep inciting it, until this surging hatred can challenge the Only Me Sect's rule of 'No Retaliation for Deaths in the Incubation to Deity Program.' Then we can stop."
"Although Night Demon winning first place will attract the attention of the Demon Sect's higher-ups, the current Night Demon is still too weak, and the higher-ups won't pay much attention. At this time, if Night Demon dies, who knows who the killer is? He has so many enemies who want him dead!"
"This is called 'Law Does Not Punish the Masses'!"
"So, we need to make the people of the Demon Sect kill Night Demon! Facing so many enemies, Night Demon's death is almost certain."
Dongfang Sansan said, "I said you're wrong. Not only should we not kill Night Demon, but we should also provide some protection."
"Why is that?"
The crowd was confused.
"If only one person from the Demon Sect comes and kills Night Demon, won't this matter be over? Isn't that a bit of a pity? Where's our benefit then?"
Dongfang Sansan said, "As long as we confirm that Night Demon is Fang Che, we can continuously wait and ambush those who come to kill him, and then eliminate them one by one. And who killed them? Naturally, it was Night Demon!"
"At the very least, in name, if they come to kill Night Demon and the guardians don't show up, can Night Demon escape being named as the murderer? Moreover, Night Demon himself won't deny it, right? Even if he denies it, will anyone believe him?"
"A sea of blood and deep-rooted hatred!"
"If batches of the Demon Sect die at Night Demon's hands, isn't that our greatest benefit?"
Dongfang Sansan sighed, "Come on, use your brains."
He truly sighed.
Exhausted.
Finally, they were convinced.
Dongfang Sansan continued, "When the deaths in the Demon Sect reach a certain number, and we can no longer take advantage of the situation, we will directly present the evidence: we helped Night Demon kill these people, and Night Demon has been our person all along... Do you understand?"
"With this Divide-and-Conquer Strategy, even if Night Demon doesn't die, he'll have to prove his innocence. But when the people of the Demon Sect see that Night Demon has killed so many of their own, how many will speak up for him? Not many, right? When our people directly eliminate him at that time, we'll be safe."
"Because it will also vent the anger of countless people in the Demon Sect."
"So, no matter what, Night Demon is destined to die. Why take the risk of killing him now?"
Dongfang Sansan said, "You're letting go of such a great opportunity and instead discussing his execution? Everyone, you need to use your brains when handling matters! This is a continental dispute, not a personal grudge!"
"You need to have a strategic perspective! You need to see the real gains and losses!"
Dongfang Sansan's lengthy explanation enlightened the crowd.
Their eyes lit up one by one.
"No wonder he's the Ninth Master!"
"Brilliant! This will stir up chaos within the Demon Sect, it's truly ingenious."
Dongfang Sansan smiled faintly and said, "Then, how to incite hatred and guide the Demon Sect to send people to kill Night Demon, I believe you don't need my guidance on this, right?"
Everyone felt embarrassed, "Ninth Master, your words are too heavy. Ninth Master, you've worked hard. If we still need the Ninth Master's personal guidance on this, then we might as well not live... It's too embarrassing."
Dong Fang San San smiled, “Then I'll go and take care of things now.”
“Take your time, Ninth Young Master.”
Everyone, filled with utmost admiration, stood up to see him off, their gazes following Dong Fang San San as he walked out.
Only then did the crowd begin to discuss.
“Worthy of being Ninth Young Master!”
“The person I admire most in my life!”
“Ninth Young Master’s strategy is truly divine.”
“Like parting the clouds to see the clear sky…”
“Suddenly, everything seems so clear.”
“Come, come, let’s discuss how to use the Night Demon incident to incite things, to…”
“Yes, yes, I think…”
“…”
Behind him, the crowd was enthusiastically discussing.
Dong Fang San San had already returned to his study, where he finally let out a gentle sigh.
“What a big mess this time…”
Wiping his forehead, he smiled bitterly, “Almost couldn’t control it.”
“Running off to cultivate toads to deity, he actually became possessed by a deity, killing without regard for his own life. He really doesn’t consider those people of the Demon Sect as humans.”
He smiled with satisfaction and began to ponder.
“Doing this on one side will inevitably cause a reaction on the other. I wonder how Deputy Sect Master Yan will respond? This time, it’s said that his granddaughter led the headquarters team for training… Too many people died, didn’t they?”
“Just right to get this Deputy Sect Master Yan moving. I don’t believe he can ignore the rising emotions in the Demon Sect! As long as you move, I must use that method.”
“I’ve already delivered the plan, motive, and pacification methods to you, Yan Nan. What can you do to refuse me?”
Dong Fang San San walked to the window, gazing into the distance, where the Only Me Sect lay.
“Follow my plan. How else can you pacify the many families in the headquarters who have lost people?”
“But doing just this seems a bit insufficient. Should I add more arrangements? Since I’m doing it, I must make Yan Nan move with me!”
“Mainly worried that Yan Nan’s brain isn’t up to it, unable to appreciate my painstaking efforts… If he doesn’t fall into this trap, isn’t it like putting on a beautiful act for a blind person?”
Dong Fang San San began to consider the intelligence of the Only Me Sect’s second Deputy Sect Master.
After a long while, he finally decided, “That guy’s brain might not be so sharp. I need to give him a push.”
“Thus, the Demon Sect will act in that way, and the Guardians will respond in this way. With the Night Demon incident intertwined, once time drags on, the situation I want will basically form.”
Dong Fang San San calculated, feeling exhausted. He was like a chess player who had set up his own side, but the other side was stupid and didn’t know how to play, so he still had to guide them.
Let me teach you, my trap is here, but you must come in…
Just as he was thinking, there was a knock on the door.
“Hey, still remember to knock when you come here, and don’t report the matter… Sword Lord? How’s the disciple I recommended to you?”
A figure in a snow-white robe walked in, it was Sword Lord Rui Qianshan.
“Very good, indeed a natural sword bone. It’s just a pity that he didn’t have a solid foundation from a young age, a bit of a waste of talent,” said Sword Lord Rui Qianshan.
“What family background does he have? Where would he get the resources to build a foundation?”
Dong Fang San San said, “That’s why I entrusted him to you, to not waste him.”
Sword Lord Rui Qianshan said, “Fortunately, it’s not too late. I came to ask you why you entrusted him to me. There must be a reason.”
Dong Fang San San gestured for Sword Lord Rui Qianshan to sit down, “How could I harm you, Ninth Brother?”
“Ha.”
Sword Lord Rui Qianshan said, “In this world, the only person you wouldn’t harm is Xue Fusiao.”
“Nonsense.”
Dong Fang San San chuckled, “Let me tell you the truth. This Ding Zeren is a seed planted by the Night Demon Sect in the White Cloud Martial Academy.”
“Damn! You really are out to get me!”
Sure enough, Sword Lord Rui Qianshan instantly exploded.
“Hold on, hear me out.”
Dong Fang San San quickly pressed down on Sword Lord Rui Qianshan’s shoulder, “The situation is like this…”
As Dong Fang San San spoke, Sword Lord Rui Qianshan finally calmed down, frowning in thought, “I see.”
“Can you just watch such a promising child die?”
Dong Fang San San said, “We must do our best, right?”
Sword Lord Rui Qianshan sighed with a worried look, “But he has the Quintessence Toad inside him. If it activates, he will die. What’s the point of trying? He will die sooner or later anyway.”
“So I asked you to buy time. As for the Quintessence Toad in his body, in a few years, I will find a way to solve it.”
Dong Fang San San said.
“You have a way to solve the Quintessence Toad?”
Sword Lord Rui Qianshan’s eyes widened.
Dong Fang San San was enigmatic, “I have my own plan. You’ll know when the time comes.”
“I see.”
Sword Lord Rui Qianshan hesitated, then finally coughed, “Actually, this time in the Heavenly Capital, I also took care of something and discovered another talent.”
“Ah?”
Dong Fang San San’s face immediately showed concern, “First, tell me about the thing you did. I get a headache just hearing you did something. And you even coughed. That cough makes me feel like things aren’t going well.”
