Sitting in front of a table in a dark room was the Prophet, Carlson. He had his hands pressed lightly on a crystal ball, and there was a layer of murky fog around the crystal ball. The usual person would be unable to see what was inside clearly, but Carlson could see the pictures reflected in the crystal ball clearly and notice details that others would not know.

But after a long time, an impatient voice suddenly traveled over from the entrance.

"How's the situation?"

Carlson was stunned for a moment. He raised his face a little, which was shrouded under the shadow of his hood. A hint of a smile appeared on his lips. "Congratulations, Evil Emperor, your plan went off rather smoothly. Based on the plan, Flame Wolf has already successfully obtained Tiger Soul from Dongfang Bubai."

"Good."

There was delight in the voice outside, and his tone became firm and loud. "Then, it also means that Dongfang Bubai has already been killed."

"Indeed. Peach Blossom and Immortal obtained Sunflower Manual and a set of flying needles from Dongfang Bubai."

"Good!"

The voice outside rose again. Evil Emperor felt free of worries, and he laughed loudly. "Dongfang Bubai is an outstanding person among all those in the dao of heaven. The value of this set of items is far greater than Heavenly Saber Song Que's legacy."

"Evil Emperor, it seems like you're really worried about Happy giving out Heavenly Saber Song Que's legacy." Carlson was a little stunned in the house. He said faintly, "But speaking of which, it's strange. It has been a long time since I was able to figure out Happy's whereabouts. He seemed to have a thorough understanding of my tracking methods. It's really strange."

When Happy was mentioned, Evil Emperor's tone became cold once more.

"He laid in bed for one and a half years, but that didn't cripple him. Instead, the brat became even more cunning, devious, and calculative than the usual person. If I were Blood Robes, I would have rammed my head against a pillar right now to die."

"It's no wonder why you ignored Dream Clouds' request for help over this period of time and just let One Emperor to cause trouble in the small countries to the west of the Chinese plains."

Carlson's tone was indifferent, and he sounded as if he was talking to himself.

"Hmph!"

Evil Emperor seemed to be angry at the mere mention of Class One Hall's name. He sent a private message to Carlson in an incredibly impatient manner. "Based on Happy's methods, he's determined to destroy Class One Hall so that he can completely block off the path we can take to enter the Chinese plains. Regardless of whether he did it to defend against Wild Wolves or whether he's taking revenge against Blood Robes or Class One Hall, all of the methods we used in the past to attack a place from the inside and the outside can't be used. Naturally, I have no need to continue paying attention to the needs from that woman from Class One Hall."

Carlson said, "But Class One Hall and Dream Clouds still has value in existing and being used… At the very least, we will still need Dream Clouds' subordinates to help us when we enter the Chinese plains for our operations."

The person outside instantly fell silent.

What Carlson said was true.

The Chinese plains was a country that was filled with all sorts of fortuitous chances. This time, Class One Hall had also helped them to be able to get Tiger Soul and Sunflower Manual.

"Based on what you said, I have to take care of them…?"

Carlson moved his lips under the shadows from his hood. He explained softly, "No. Class One Hall has pooled together a foundation that is not to be underestimated over the years. Right now, their numbers have been reduced to less than ten thousand people, but that foundation will still be able to provide for these people for many years. Naturally, they don't need us to provide for them. You just need to provide protection and a belief for them, and Class One Hall will become your most loyal servants. This is a good thing, why should you give up on them?"

"Alright, I'll do as you said!"

"Leader, if I were you, I would give Dream Clouds Dongfang Bubai's legacy and that set of flying needles—"

"What?!"

"Happy had the courage to give the members of Lovely Land Heavenly Saber Song Que's legacy, and it shows his magnanimity. Leader, if you do it, all of Class One Hall will have their spirits renewed, and they will be loyal to you from now on. That includes Dream Clouds." Carlson's words did not immediately convince Evil Emperor of this. He thought about this for a few seconds, but he still did not come to a decision.

There was a huge difference between Evil Emperor and Happy.

Happy did not have a lot of loyal subordinates in the game, and he could not inherit Heavenly Saber Song Que's legacy, neither did he lack money.

But while Evil Emperor could not practice Sunflower Manual, he had the fiercest group of subordinates under him. There were also a few women who could practice Sunflower Manual.

Peach Blossom and Immortal had even sent a messenger pigeon to ask him of it…

It was truly a very difficult decision for him to hand Sunflower Manual to Dream Clouds!

"Dream Clouds…"

Carlson could clearly sense Evil Emperor's hesitation. He fell silent for a few seconds before he spoke again, "I remember that you have almost completely mastered Great Dao Heart Demonic Seed Art."

The change of topic instantly attracted Evil Emperor's thoughts elsewhere. He hummed before he answered, "I gained quite a lot after I died in Happy's hands. I improved slightly for my Great Dao Heart Demonic Seed Art, and when I came back, I made two small breakthroughs in one go. They have already stabilized, and if I move up a little higher, I will reach perfection…"

"Congratulations, Leader!"

Carlson congratulated him at the perfect moment.

Evil Emperor smiled.

"But if I want to reach perfection, I will need to reach an incredibly important condition."

"Do you need a peerless martial artist to serve as your furnace for Great Dao Heart Demonic Seed Art?" Carlson smiled faintly.

"That's right! I need a person in the dao of heaven to serve as my furnace, but you know as well as I do that defeating a person in the dao of heaven isn't hard, but killing them is as hard as trying to reach the skies."

Carlson nodded slowly.

The people in the dao of heaven were elusive, and they came and went as they pleased. If there was something off with the situation, they could remove themselves from battle, even if they were surrounded by danger. Even Wild Wolves had a hard time trying to kill a person in the dao of heaven.

"Leader, in truth, Class One Hall's Dream Clouds seems to have predicted your current situation and knows that you need someone in the dao of heaven, so she deliberately sent a messenger pigeon over and talked to me about this before."

"Oh?" Evil Emperor spoke with a drawl. His tone became awe-inspiring, but he also sounded puzzled. His domineering air of supremacy was instantly shown at its full capacity.

"The woman is very attentive towards your situation. If she leaves us, Class One Hall no longer has any hope in staying in World of Martial Arts. It's only par for the course that she would not dare to treat you with slight," Carlson spoke very carefully, because he knew that if he said anything wrong right now, Dream Clouds might be ruined.

"..."

Carlson's words finally caused Evil Emperor to have his questions answered.

"What did she say?"

"She knows that you need someone in the dao of heaven, and she specifically recommended two targets."

"Hmph?"

Evil Emperor immediately became interested after a brief moment of shock. "Tell me."

"One of them is the zither player whose strength has largely decreased after he lost his weapon in the desert. Dream Clouds figured out that he is the sect master of Zither Sect, and he is in the dao of heaven. His qi cultivation and strength are all in his zither strings, and this person has a highly fatal weakness. He's old and soft-hearted, and he places a high emphasis on his subordinates' survival."

"So, is that what the Chinese mean by a woman's kindheartedness?"

"Leader, you're smart."

"What else?" Evil Emperor clearly had no interest in Carlson flattering him. He said faintly, "The sect master of Zither Sect is in the Chinese plains, and he will not be easy to deal with. Right now, I am constantly being tracked down by Wandering Know-it-all, and if I disappear for long periods of time, he will use his Universe Secrets Inkstone to forcefully make a reading, and I will not be able to run away from Happy's spies."

"There's one more that will definitely catch your interest."

"Oh?"

"He's Martial Paragon Bi Xuan, a West Regioner who is in the dao of heaven!"

"Bi Xuan?"

Evil Emperor was shocked, and his tone suddenly became grave.

"What joke is this? Bi Xuan, Dongfang Bubai, and the alliance master entered the desert palace together, but he was defeated and flung into mercury. He died in the desert palace, and that is something the alliance master admitted on his own. He is already dead, and he's useless to me."

"Leader, Bi Xuan isn't dead yet!"

"..."

Carlson said, "It's true! In truth, I never paid attention to it in the beginning, but Dream Clouds noticed it when she asked the diviners in the Chinese plains to make a reading."

"Why did she suddenly go and make a reading of this…?"

"Martial Paragon Bi Xuan has a high status in Twin of Brothers, and he's someone outstanding among the eight people in the dao of heaven. Dream Clouds refused to believe that the martial paragon would die so easily in the desert, so she went to make a reading of whether Bi Xuan was still alive, and in the end, she really managed to obtain some information about the martial paragon."

"Oh?" Evil Emperor's voice became grave. "Where is he now?"

"He was saved by a player in the desert, and he was brought to a physician. Dream Clouds is saying that you might need someone in the dao of heaven, but you don't necessarily need someone who is at the peak of his condition…"

"That's right! I just need someone who is a peerless martial artist. It doesn't matter whether he is injured or not."

"That's perfect. Bi Xuan is currently in a very complicated condition. His strength has been largely reduced. Even if he wants to run, he is helpless to do so. The most important thing is that Bi Xuan is currently in the desert, and he is brought to the Turkic empire. He isn't in the Chinese plains, and since he went there, Happy will definitely not appear. At most, Happy will only make preparations in the heart of the Chinese plains."

Carlson's suggestion was just what Evil Emperor wanted.

Right now, he was only one step away from pushing his Great Dao Heart Demonic Seed Art to perfection.

Once the martial art reached perfection, his strength would increase by one whole leve, and by then, he could be considered to have entered the dao of heaven. Even if he ran into those who were really in the dao of heaven, he would not be at a disadvantage.

Evil Emperor did not answer on the spot.

Carlson naturally knew that this matter was very important to Evil Emperor. He definitely had to plan properly before he could answer. Carlson did not urge Evil Emperor to give him an answer either. He looked to look at the crystal ball.

"Leader, there's something else."

"Speak."

"Right now, Flame Wolf has clearly been controlled by Tiger Soul, and he has continuously killed more than thirty of our members. Right now, even though Peach Blossom and Immortal have already brought our members to head to the borders of the Chinese plains, Flame Wolf is moving very fast. Once in a while, at least one of ours will die. I'm afraid that it will be very difficult for them to last until they can leave the Chinese plains."

"You don't have to worry about it. I've already sent a group of people to wait and receive them outside the borders. Right now, they'll serve their purpose. I'll have them take Peach Blossom and the others' place so that they can take the group out of the Chinese plains…"

"Leader, what worries me now is that Tiger Soul is very difficult to tame, and it might be difficult to control it. We can't afford to have all our efforts go to waste after we worked for so long and sacrificed so many of our people."

"You don't have to worry about that. I've already investigated things on my own. Tiger Soul might be fierce, but as long as we find Chiyou's Helmet, which is left behind in West Region, we will be able to obtain Tiger Soul's acknowledgement. Coincidentally, this item has been split into two parts. One of them is enshrined and worshipped by Persia's Holy Fire Cult, and the gemstone is embedded into the Persian King's crown. We can just take care of Bi Xuan first before we obtain Chiyou's Helmet in one go…"
