Chapter 456: The Emperor's Soul Banner Revival Plan
Chapter 456: The Emperor's Soul Banner Revival Plan
"With Blood Robe's strength, Xiaolu's intelligence, and my wisdom, I'm aiming for a thousand victories in this battle."
Niu Jiao Sister spoke with excitement.
She seemed confident about this confrontation, as if victory was already within her grasp.
"Blood Robe, you have high talent, so you'll be the leader of our team. Zi Yuan Xiaolu, with your keen mind, will be the assistant leader. Discuss the plan between yourselves, and I'll go take a good nap. Call me if you need anything." Zi Yuan Daxue finished, yawned, and left.
She was fine with fighting, but when it came to discussing and creating a battle strategy, her head started to hurt.
Seeing this, Qi Yuan wasn't surprised.
If this were a university assignment, Qi Yuan, as the leader, would be responsible for the overall strategy and guiding principles.
Zi Yuan Xiaolu would be in charge of making the PowerPoint presentation.
Zi Yuan Daxue would be the one to present it.
The surrounding geniuses began to form their teams.
An Xunlu looked at the cheerful Zi Yuan Xiaolu with annoyance, feeling inexplicably irritated.
Zi Yuan Xiaolu's happiness only made An Xunlu feel more displeased.
"Sigh, Black Sword Senior Brother is truly extraordinary. At the Grand Principle Daoist Conference, he comprehended a Supreme Principle, an unparalleled talent. While we can only watch from below, he's so cool!"
An Xunlu spoke, intentionally glancing at Zi Yuan Xiaolu and Qi Yuan.
Her meaning was clear.
The Black Sword Senior Brother she admired was the top young talent in the Dark Demon Abyss.
The rest could only look up to him.
"Who understands? That's a Supreme Principle. Black Sword Senior Brother and us exist in completely different worlds.
In the past, some even compared others to Black Sword Senior Brother; how laughable."
"Who understands?! I certainly don't!" Zi Yuan Xiaolu exclaimed.
An Xunlu was speechless.
She glared at Zi Yuan Xiaolu, "Black Sword Senior Brother aims for great achievements, unlike someone who can only manage to get by with mere merits."
"When the master kills a wolf, does the servant proudly puff out their chest?" Zi Yuan Xiaolu retorted without hesitation.
Though she usually appeared shy and quiet, once she engaged in a verbal sparring match with An Xunlu, her attacks were relentless.
"Let's go, Xiaolu. We need to find a secluded place to devise a grand plan.
Otherwise, if they plagiarize our idea, we'll be at a huge loss."
Qi Yuan pulled Zi Yuan Xiaolu's sleeve and left.
An Xunlu and the other geniuses were left speechless.
Only the Ice Sword breathed a sigh of relief. With those two troublemakers gone, he finally dared to speak and strike a pose.
Inside the cavern, Qi Yuan set up a hundred formations.
"There, even if the High Sovereign wanted to eavesdrop on us from the corner, they wouldn't know what we're doing inside!" Qi Yuan clapped his hands.
As the saying goes, those who plan great deeds hide their intentions and act in secret. Success lies in secrecy, while failure lies in loose tongues.
So, this time, as they prepared to hunt for the Yang Spirit and earn great achievements, he didn't reveal their plan.
Although he had mentioned it briefly to the Yang Spirit earlier, he didn't disclose the core of the plan, so it wasn't considered a leak.
Zi Yuan Xiaolu looked at Qi Yuan, who was within arm's reach, her face slightly blushing as she clutched her skirt.
"Don't be afraid, even if you scream, the Supreme Principle won't hear you." Qi Yuan noticed Zi Yuan Xiaolu's nervousness and comforted her.
It was fine until he started comforting her, but the more he did, the redder her face became, and her head started to spin.
It was because... this cavern was too cramped... no, the bed was too small.
To prevent the High Sovereign from eavesdropping, Qi Yuan had set up numerous formations inside the cavern.
For safety and efficiency, a smaller space was preferable.
So, the safest place was on the bed.
She could feel Blood Robe's breathing, and with these somewhat ambiguous words, her face indeed flushed, and her heart raced.
"Let's begin the plan, and it should have a grand name.
We'll call it... the Emperor's Soul Banner Revival Plan!"
Qi Yuan said proudly.
He realized that since comprehending the Supreme Principle, his mind had become more agile.
His naming skills had improved as well.
"Huh?" Zi Yuan Xiaolu was confused.
Wasn't this about killing the enemy?
Why was it called the Emperor's Soul Banner Revival Plan? What was the Emperor's Soul Banner?
"I know you don't have a brain as smart as mine, so you might not understand the greatness of this plan.
But it's fine, you just need to provide information or make the PowerPoint presentation."
Zi Yuan Xiaolu only partially understood and nodded.
"The first step of the plan is to list the number of Yang Spirits that Guiyuetian has sent to battle, their names, and the approximate areas where they are located." Qi Yuan looked at Zi Yuan Xiaolu.
Zi Yuan Xiaolu's intelligence was always impressive.
As for the Yang Spirits sent by the opponent, the information on the surface could be easily gathered with a little effort.
Of course, this was limited to what was publicly known; as for what was happening behind the scenes, that was beyond Zi Yuan Xiaolu's knowledge.
Zi Yuan Xiaolu listened and slightly opened her mouth.
Did Blood Robe really intend to take action against the Yang Spirits?
But considering Blood Robe's personality, it might just be empty talk.
However, since it was Blood Robe's matter, no matter what, they had to take it seriously.
"In this battle, Guiyuetian has five Principle Realm experts overseeing the battle and twenty-eight Heavenly Position Yang Spirits stationed there. They are located in the Dragon Battle Star..."
Zi Yuan Xiaolu revealed the locations of these Yang Spirits and the information she had gathered.
"Good, the second step of the plan is the moment of the hunt!" Qi Yuan's eyes flashed with killing intent, mixed with a hint of greed.
Those Ten Thousand Souls Banners, left in Guiyuetian, were like the vengeful spirits of Jingu, causing trouble for the people. Only when they came to Qi Yuan would they become the people's Jingu.
Hearing this, Zi Yuan Xiaolu quickly said, "Blood Robe Senior Brother, you must be careful. Don't take any risks, and don't reveal your whereabouts. There's an informant in the Dark Demon Abyss!"
"An informant?"
Qi Yuan was slightly taken aback.
Zi Yuan Xiaolu, with a worried expression, spoke up, "Blood Robe Senior Brother, when you and Black Sword Senior Brother were attacked last time, there must have been an informant's involvement, otherwise... it's impossible for your whereabouts to be so easily exposed."
"So, when we fought Guiyuetian, the informant might still be around!"
Zi Yuan Xiaolu's words were not a big secret among the talented elites.
In fact, even the higher-ups knew there was an informant.
They just didn't know who it was.
Or perhaps, they were even intentionally overlooking it, leaving room for retreat.
"Who is the informant?"
"I don't know, but the informant will definitely pay attention to you, intentionally or not."
In the '1619' version, there's no mistake!"
Blood Robe Senior Brother, you just need to observe quietly, and you might be able to figure out who the informant is."
"It seems like the second step of the plan should be amended to expose the informant!" Qi Yuan thought for a moment and decided to first uncover the informant.
This way, he could even use the informant to bait others.
"Ah, Senior Brother, do you have a way to find the informant?" Zi Yuan Xiaolu blinked her eyes.
"This is easy. Later, I'll casually find an excuse to meet our Black Demon Abyss' Yang Deity. I'll know once I see her." Qi Yuan was brimming with confidence.
Seeing Blood Robe Senior Brother like this, Zi Yuan Xiaolu became even more curious.
Could it be that Blood Robe Senior Brother had some secret skill, or was he in possession of some hidden method?
"Blood Robe Senior Brother, do you want me to follow you? I'm very curious." Zi Yuan Xiaolu wanted to know how Qi Yuan was going to expose the informant.
After all, even the ancestors couldn't find the informant.
"No problem." Qi Yuan patted his chest. "Alright, the second step of the plan is formulated. Let's begin the third step, the moment of hunting.
The fourth step will be the revival of the Emperor Soul Banner."
Zi Yuan Xiaolu nodded, "Then, should we write the plan in more detail?"
"What detail? Isn't it already very intricate?" Qi Yuan was perplexed.
"Is this the entire plan?" Zi Yuan Xiaolu blinked her eyes, shocked beyond words.
Just a few sentences and it's called a plan?
In that case, she could also formulate a plan to become a High Sovereign.
First step, break through and enter the Yang Deity.
Second step, comprehend the Supreme Principle and become a High Sovereign.
Third step, Blood Robe Senior Brother enters the family as a son-in-law.
"Oh, I understand. You think the plan lacks detail and is missing time and date? For such a major event, things can change in an instant, and we can't control time. It's better not to include it." Qi Yuan spoke seriously.
Zi Yuan Xiaolu understood. This was the entire plan.
She stuck out her tongue, "Xiaolu understands."
She felt a little foolish.
The plan to hunt the Yang Deity was just a playful idea.
If it was going to be simple, then let it be simple. Why was she taking it so seriously?
"Xiaolu, I know you're tight-lipped. Today's grand plan, don't let it slip out, understand?" Qi Yuan spoke earnestly, "By the way, Zi Yuan Daxue is our team member. You can tell her."
"Okay!" Zi Yuan Xiaolu nodded seriously, covering her mouth with her hand.
"Go and meet Zi Yuan Daxue. We'll start the second step of the plan. Let her find an excuse, and we'll visit the Yangshen Venerables together." Qi Yuan instructed.
The informant who had leaked his whereabouts was already noted in Qi Yuan's little book.
When the time was right, the informant would be sent to meet the real ghosts.
"Alright, I'll go find Senior Sister Daxue!" Zi Yuan Xiaolu hurriedly left.
About a day passed, and on the streets of the Demon Gate, Qi Yuan appeared.
He saw Zi Yuan Daxue and Zi Yuan Xiaolu, one tall and one small, holding a steamer basket. Qi Yuan was speechless.
"Are you sure this is how you plan to pay respects to the Yangshen Venerables?"
"What's wrong with this method? I don't believe any Yangshen Venerable would refuse!" Zi Yuan Daxue spoke proudly.
She opened the steamer basket, and instantly, steam rose, filling the air with a fragrant aroma.
Qi Yuan took a look and saw inside the basket... a strange egg.
"The Black Demon Abyss' talented elite, the Ice Sword, laid an ice egg, which I, Zi Yuan Daxue, happened to obtain! So, I cooked this rare thing. It's very filial to offer it to the Yangshen Venerables. How could they refuse?" Zi Yuan Daxue spoke earnestly.
Hearing this, Qi Yuan pondered, "This is indeed quite interesting.
If someone says the Ice Sword laid an egg, I'd also go out to see what it's like.
However, this plan is not thorough enough. These are just ordinary eggs.
The Ice Sword's name has 'ice' in it, so you should have put an ice egg!"
With a wave of his hand, the egg in the basket transformed into an ice egg.
"Not bad. Very perfect." Qi Yuan spoke proudly.
The crystal-clear egg looked high-end and exquisite.
"Add some packaging, and it's the perfect gift."
As Qi Yuan spoke, he waved his hand, and the steamer basket transformed into a gift box.
Zi Yuan Daxue looked at Qi Yuan, blinking her eyes, "Your EQ is so high?"
"This is the difference between us." Qi Yuan spoke proudly, "Meeting me is like a mayfly meeting the vast sky!"
Zi Yuan Xiaolu stood to the side, covering her mouth, silently feeling a twinge of pain for Ice Sword Senior Brother.
