Great Love Immortal Venerate: Why are all my fairies yandere?-Chapter 288 - : 167. The mastermind behind the scenes is actually her?!_2

Chapter 288: 167. The mastermind behind the scenes is actually her?!_2

“…”

Xu Yuan suddenly relaxed all pressure, revealing an enlightened expression, “The Goddess speaks wisely. Ah, if you could be bought so easily, why didn’t you say so earlier? You’ve wasted so much of my time.”

“…”

Due to his rapid release and regain of control, the Ancient Goddess almost couldn’t react in time and crushed the ground beneath her foot.

Hearing the words from Xu Yuan’s mouth, she almost lost her composure and involuntarily clenched her fists.

However, given his current power and status, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and swallow her grievances.

“The Divine Child’s reprimand is just.”

She gritted her teeth and said, “May I know how the Divine Child wishes for me to assist you?”

“It’s simple.”

Xu Yuan, his gaze slightly amused, looked at her and said, “I hope that you can help me overthrow the Immortal Court.”

At these words, the normally calm heart of the Ancient Goddess was violently stirred for the first time in tens of thousands of years.

“What did you say? Overthrow the Immortal Court?! Has the Divine Child lost his mind?”

This time, the Ancient Goddess truly couldn’t contain herself.

She didn’t know what madness had possessed the esteemed Divine Child. She would rather suspect herself of being delusional due to deviating in her cultivation than to believe this could be true.

After all, everyone knew that the Divine Child “Xu Yuan” had always gone to great lengths to maintain the Immortal Court. When the Immortal Emperor went into seclusion, it was he who single-handedly preserved the precarious balance among the three tribes, covering the battlefield of the three tribes with blood for miles on end, commanding respect and fear from the Demon factions.

That is also why the entire Immortal Court regarded him as the next Immortal Emperor.

Anyone might betray the Immortal Court, even its founder, but he was the last one anyone would suspect.

Yet now, he was saying he wanted to overthrow the Immortal Court?

How could she not be shocked by this?

“Does the Goddess think I’m joking?”

Xu Yuan’s lips still bore that light, disdainful smile, yet his expression was very serious.

He indeed would not betray the Immortal Court, but unfortunately, the Immortal Court had betrayed him.

“…”

The Ancient Goddess fell into silence.

She was pondering, given the current strength of the Immortal Court and with the Immortal Emperor in seclusion, whether they could stop him.

But the conclusion she reached was somewhat despairing.

—It was not possible.

Back then, on the battlefield of the three tribes, the Immortal Emperor had sensed an opportunity in the Great Dao and entered a deep meditative seclusion, blocking out all senses and severing all connections, including fate and causality.

Consequently, the human tribe was being driven back step by step under the relentless pressure from the Demon Royals’ incarnations.

Even the assembly of many Daoist Lord-level True Immortals proved ineffective.

At that moment, Xu Yuan had stepped forward, single-handedly stabilizing the situation, keeping the Immortal Court alive for another hundred years until the Immortal Emperor finally emerged from seclusion and gradually reclaimed the human territories.

Thus, the legends about the Divine Child Xu Yuan were cast into being.

It can be said that besides the three Emperors, Divine Child Xu Yuan was an invincible presence among the three tribes, and even if all the Daoist Lords were bound together, they were not his match.

Only by uniting all Daoist Lord-level Cultivators from the three tribes might there be a chance.

“Why would you do this?”

Seeing Xu Yuan’s impassive face, the Ancient Goddess’s heart suddenly skipped a beat.

She remembered a rumor.

Legend has it that Divine Child Xu Yuan … was so unwavering in his defense of the Immortal Court for the sake of one person.

And that person need not be overthought, for it was obvious who it was.

After all, in the entire Immortal Court, the only person who could concern him so deeply yet be completely unaware was one.

Combining this with what he had just said to her upon his sudden arrival.

The Ancient Goddess suddenly had a guess.

“Could it be, Divine Child, that you just confessed your feelings to the Immortal Emperor, and the revered Immortal Emperor did not reciprocate?”

Her expression was somewhat bizarre.

Although she had never met the Immortal Emperor, this did not prevent her from speculating.

“What nonsense are you talking about?”

Xu Yuan was startled by her sudden wild guess, completely unaware of what she was implying.

The Ancient Goddess, however, took it as him trying to save face.

However, if the Divine Child could confess to the Immortal Emperor, didn’t that imply the Immortal Emperor had already awakened?

The Ancient Goddess looked up at the sky, noting that no divine sounds were coming her way.

She roughly understood something.

Perhaps the Immortal Emperor also felt somewhat guilty towards him, hence he allowed him to act out.

And the Divine Child, in truth, was merely speaking in the heat of the moment, probably just to vex Lord Immortal Emperor.

Since that was the case, she decided to play along in this drama.

The Ancient Goddess sighed softly to herself.

“I understand. Since Your Highness has thus spoken, I shall comply,” she said.

“Oh?”

Xu Yuan was somewhat surprised, “Have you thought it through?”

“From the moment Your Highness appeared before me, I no longer had a choice,” she replied.

The Ancient Goddess said with a slight smile.

“Even if I were to record this scene and store it in a Memory Stone, I doubt many would believe my words. As for remaining neutral after hearing what Your Highness just said, you certainly wouldn’t agree, would you?”

“You seem to have understood quite clearly,” he said.

Xu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he didn’t know what misunderstanding the other party had, as long as his objective was achieved, that was enough.

Thinking this, he took out a Blood Bead teeming with boundless Essence Blood from his storage bag,

“What is this?”

The Ancient Goddess was somewhat astonished.

“This is a bowl of Essence Blood I took from a Demon Beast at the Daoist Lord level in the battlefield of the three tribes. In a way, it could also be considered a natural treasure. Let’s use it as my compensation,” he explained.

Xu Yuan’s gaze lingered on the bowl of Demon Beast Essence Blood he had counterfeited within the Illusory Realm with his immortal power, his expression somewhat playful.

Essence Blood? A whole bowl of it?

The Ancient Goddess could hardly believe it.

After all, Essence Blood was always precious; who would measure it by the bowl?

At that moment, she began to doubt whether Xu Yuan’s plan to overthrow the Immortal Court was even real.

“What? Are you having second thoughts?” Xu Yuan asked with a smile.

“… ”

After her eyes flickered several times, the Ancient Goddess eventually accepted the bowl of Essence Blood.

Whether Xu Yuan’s plan to overthrow the Immortal Court was true or not, she had no choice but to comply.

“There’s nothing tampered with in this bowl of Essence Blood, is there?” she asked, sniffing the rich scent of blood, yet she didn’t rush to drink it but looked at him instead.

While asking, she secretly connected her Divine Sense to the Immortal Array’s interrogation section related to the art of lying.

After connecting to this part of the Formation, if Xu Yuan’s response was a lie, she could seize the opportunity to accuse him of deception and lack of sincerity as a pretext to refuse to drink the Essence Blood.

This way, she could tactfully refuse to drink the Essence Blood given by Xu Yuan, and also avoid pushing him into a corner.

However, to her great surprise, in response to her question,

“No,” Xu Yuan simply shook his head and denied.

New novel chapters are published on freewёbn૦νeɭ.com.

“… ”

The Ancient Goddess was momentarily stunned, for from the interrogation Array’s sensation of lies, it turned out that his statement was indeed true.

Moreover, there were no signs of any twisted common sense that might cause abnormalities in his soul’s aura.

What was going on?

The Ancient Goddess felt somewhat incredulous.

Xu Yuan watched her wavering expression and silently chuckled.

Indeed, he had not tampered with anything in it; rather, the Essence Blood itself was the tampering.

Unfortunately, she was misled by the superficial phenomena created by the Immortal Skills in the Illusory Realm.

…

When time returned to the point where Xu Yuan had failed on previous occasions,

this time, Xu Yuan was confident he had sufficient assurance.

With Lady Dian and Rem, in addition to the Ancient Goddess, the progress in cultivation he gained from the three was not substantial.

But with the Ancient Goddess as an ally, his pressure was much reduced compared to before.

When the Dark Night Immortal Lord triumphantly appeared before him with many Daoist Lords, the Ancient Goddess didn’t wait for him to speak but took the initiative to strike first and trapped two great Daoist Lords.

With the loss of the two Daoist Lords and the Ancient Goddess, who was the greatest threat in controlling the Immortal Array for Xu Yuan, this simulation could already be declared a great success,

assuming, that is, if she hadn’t appeared.

When that cold, familiar voice echoed across the sky, Xu Yuan had to admit, he had been foolish.

Because he could never have imagined that the Immortal Emperor, the mastermind behind it all, would be her?
