Chapter 678: Chapter 12 The Perfect Strategy to Break the Stalemate Chapter 678: Chapter 12 The Perfect Strategy to Break the Stalemate When Qiu Changtian spoke up, everyone finally lost their composure.
“Is this a threat?” another Demon Cult Venerable asked darkly.
???G?.??
“No, this is a reminder,” Qiu Changtian said calmly, “in regards to ‘not letting the opposing side guess the identity of the chosen one,’ our interests align.”
“For the sake of our shared interests, we can even temporarily cease hostilities and cooperate.
If we set this aside, there is nothing left to discuss.”
Finally, silence fell upon the room as everyone began to ponder the implications of his words.
After a while, Venerable Moyan slowly said:
“I am not the chosen one.”
“Neither am I,” said the Demon Cult Venerable beside him.
“Hehe,” a cultivator from Shushan, Venerable Miaodan, suddenly laughed, “I’m not either…
It seems the chosen one is among you Kunlun folks.”
Her laughter was filled with sarcasm, causing Xu Yinglian to frown.
Just as she was about to speak, a brash voice came from outside:

“So Moyan, you’re here!Great, who’s the chosen one among you, can you tell me?”
Four Nether Ghost Path Cultivators strode in boldly.
Xu Yinglian acutely noticed a flash of subtle fear and wariness on Venerable Moyan’s face.
Qiu Changtian also focused his gaze.
The leader of the Nether Ghost Path Cultivators had an unfamiliar face, someone he had never seen before, but judging by the unbridled aura the stranger was emitting, Qiu Changtian was almost certain the individual was of the Golden Core Realm, Obscure Weave Rank without a doubt.
“Yo, Han Yuan is here too?” The intruder suddenly noticed Luo Baiyuan and stepped onto her desk with a provocative smile.
“Mo Gu, take your foot down,” Luo Baiyuan said, frowning.
“I won’t,” the intruder said with a sardonic laugh, as if deliberately trying to disgust her, “If you can, come hit me.”
Qiu Changtian thoughtfully considered that, according to what Venerable Liandu had said earlier, starting a fight here would actually break some rules.
While the other appeared extremely arrogant, they were actually luring Sister Luo to strike first, indicating that the individual was not as crude as they seemed, but rather a cunning fellow.
“It stinks,” Luo Baiyuan didn’t fall for it and simply stood up to move away, covering her nose with her sleeve as she walked over to Xu Yinglian, “This person’s feet are still as stinky as ever.”
“Sister, come over here quickly,” Xu Yinglian employed the Universal Pure Tone Minor Illumination Technique directly on Luo Baiyuan and urged her, “Hurry over, be careful not to get poisoned.”
“Pfft,” Venerable Miaodan from across the room immediately burst into laughter.
Seeing Mo Gu True Person looking over with a disgruntled face, she taunted, “Mo Gu, you’re a cultivator, how can you still have athlete’s foot?”
Mo Gu True Person’s face darkened, but he wasn’t foolish enough to engage with her on the topic of “athlete’s foot.” His gaze swept quickly across the room and soon settled on Qiu Changtian.
“First Grade Golden Core, Changgeng True Person,” he clicked his tongue in amazement, “They say you were born with Daoist Heart Clarity and are cherished by the Ziwei Master of Kunlun!”
“How about it?
Has Liandu True Person specified you as the chosen one?
Can you tell me, Master Qiu?”
“Of course,” Qiu Changtian nodded promptly, “it’s me.
After you go back, you can report my name.”
Venerable Moyan had been staring at him provocatively, but upon hearing this, his eyes immediately began to widen slowly.
After a moment, he scoffed and said,
“Trying to trick me?
You’re really underestimating me.”
“I haven’t and I don’t need to lie,” Qiu Changtian said calmly, “it’s your business if you don’t dare to believe.”
“Pathetic attempt at provocation,” Venerable Moyan said coldly, his gaze sweeping over everyone again before he suddenly chuckled, “You all continue to hide and sneak around then!”
“In any case, I’ve already found the perfect strategy to break this.
Keep struggling until you completely fail!
Hahahaha…”
Having said this, he left with the other three Demon Cult Venerables, swaggering off.
The six True Persons left in the area looked at each other, and for a time, no one spoke.
“Brother,” Xu Yinglian communicated with Qiu Changtian through a secret sound transmission method, “He said, ‘the perfect strategy to break this’.
Do you think it’s true or false?”
“There isn’t a perfect strategy to break this,” Qiu Changtian pondered for a moment before answering, “but there certainly is a strategy…
Do you remember the number of Demon Cult Venerables that came in with him?”
“Three, why?” Xu Yinglian hesitated, then suddenly had an epiphany, “Could it be!”
“If he can exert complete control over those three Demon Cult Venerables, excluding the other two, they would only need to guess one of us four after noon tomorrow,” Qiu Changtian answered, “In doing so, the Nether Ghost Path is bound to have one person who guesses correctly in this trial.”
“If that is the case, can’t we do the same?” Xu Yinglian’s mind sparked with inspiration, but then she frowned and dismissed the idea, “No, we can’t!”
“Exactly, we indeed cannot,” Qiu Changtian replied, “Even if we can persuade Sister Luo, the Miao Dan True Person from Shushan is quite unlikely to agree to work with us in this way-after all, she only has a one-in-four chance of guessing correctly, whereas we from Kunlun have three out of four.”
“If she thinks someone on the other side is the chosen one, and I’ve already guessed that person, she would probably be unwilling to change her answer,” Xu Yinglian sighed, “After all, allowing Kunlun to win would have no actual benefit to her.”
“That’s right,” Qiu Changtian said seriously, “For Venerable Moyan himself, the probability of guessing correctly is only one in four, which is why he still wants to figure out who it is.
That way, he can ensure victory is in his own hands.
But if he guesses incorrectly, he could still ensure the Nether Ghost Path’s victory in this trial, and he would also receive the Sect’s reward.”
“However, for Miao Dan True Person, if she guesses incorrectly, Shushan is unlikely to reward her for Kunlun’s victory.
That is why we cannot mimic the other side’s tactics.”
“This time, the composition of the opposing team just has too much of an advantage,” Xu Yinglian said with a sigh, “Unless we could somehow shift the identity of the chosen one to the two Demon Cult Cultivators on the opposite side and prevent them from informing Venerable Moyan, they are bound to guess correctly, right?”
“That would be very difficult to achieve,” Qiu Changtian replied, “because since Venerable Moyan said so, he must be confident that these two Demon Cult Cultivators dare not defy him.
That’s what makes it a perfect strategy to break this.”
“Let it be,” Xu Yinglian sighed, “Since you have already thoroughly analyzed Venerable Moyan’s thoughts, it seems you must have a foolproof plan, right?”
“A foolproof plan is too bold a claim,” Qiu Changtian smiled, “I can at most have a ninety-nine percent confidence that they won’t guess correctly.”
