Chapter 680: Chapter 14 I Told You It Was Me Chapter 680: Chapter 14 I Told You It Was Me Several firebirds flew into the hall, and the three from Kunlun stood guard outside, speaking in hushed voices.
“What are we here to investigate?” Luo Baiyuan asked, curious.
“The situations of the other two individuals,” Xu Yinglian replied.
“The other two individuals?”
“To increase the difficulty of guessing, there are six people on Liandu True Monarch’s side, so there must also be six on Jiuhua True Monarch’s side; otherwise, there would be no point in wagering,” Xu Yinglian explained.
“Mo Gu True Person brought three individuals here, which means there are another two whom he temporarily cannot control.”
“Indeed,” Luo Baiyuan pondered thoughtfully.
“If all six were from the Demon Cult, just one person guessing one allocation will ensure our certain defeat.”
“Hmm,” Xu Yinglian suddenly focused.
“Found them-they’re locked in the backyard, two Sword Immortals from Shushan.”
“Shushan Sword Immortals,” Qiu Changtian said with a wry smile, “left powerless in a situation where they cannot resort to violence.”
“Wait, here come the subordinates of Mo Gu True Person!” Xu Yinglian interrupted suddenly.
“They suspect that the chosen one is among those two from Shushan!”
“I see.

For Mo Gu, who fully controls his subordinates, it’s obvious whether the chosen one is among his four.
If not, then the chosen one must be one of the remaining two from Shushan,” she thought rapidly.
“If the two from Shushan refuse to confess, then all they need to do is deploy two subordinates, one to guess each person.
This way, they can sacrifice one and shift the identity of the chosen one onto their four from the Demon Cult.”
“However, they also need to guess the chosen one from our side and can’t afford to sacrifice anyone just yet.
???G0.??
That’s why they’re trying to force the two True Lords of Shushan to concede.”
“Exactly,” Luo Baiyuan nodded.
“Sister Qiong Ying, you’ll need to keep your investigative spell ready.”
“If the other side secures the identity of the chosen one, we must know immediately.”
As to who should submit the answer to Liandu True Monarch after obtaining it, the three silently agreed not to discuss it for the time being.
After all, as long as it ends up in the hands of Kunlun!
Back on Liandu True Monarch’s side, the Phoenix Immortal from Penglai and the other two from the Demonic Path just sat in their original spots, not speaking a word.
Clearly, these three had already communicated to no avail and decided to simply ignore each other.
Xu Yinglian also returned to her seat and resumed her deep contemplation.
Who, on our side, could possibly be the chosen one?
Wait, could it be possible that it’s actually among the two Demon Path True Persons?
If that were the case, it would mean that Mo Gu’s earlier pretense of scouting the enemy was actually to use secret transmissions to interrogate and intimidate the two from the Demonic Path.
After obtaining the results, he would essentially hold the winning ticket, which is why he claimed to have a “perfect strategy to break the situation.”
I understand now!
Xu Yinglian continued to look at the two from the Demonic Path, wondering who it could be?
To be safe, Sister Luo and I could each guess one, transferring the chosen one’s identity to our side in advance.
While this could lead to one person being eliminated, it would at least ensure that the opponents couldn’t guess the right answer.
As for the identity of the chosen one on the other side, let’s have the elder brother submit it.
That way, with my guidance, he could acquire the position of the leader of Golden Que.
It may be the elder brother advancing, but I have won!
Xu Yinglian thought to herself delightedly and secretly contacted Luo Baiyuan through a method of covert sound transmission.
“Is it possible?” Luo Baiyuan hesitated and asked, “But have you discussed this matter with your junior brother Changgeng?”
“No need,” Xu Yinglian confidently said, “Once we get our identities, informing senior brother won’t be too late.”
“I think it’s better to say something.” Thought Luo Baiyuan, truly a case of ‘a husband knows his wife best’, as junior brother Changgeng said she was too rigid and strong-willed, he was right indeed…
So he gently said, “Junior Sister Qiong Ying, if your deduction is wrong, then both of us would be eliminated due to a wrong guess.”
“If the identity of the selected one among us is not found within the two Demon Cult real people, why would Mo Gu say that he already has a ‘perfect strategy to end the game’?” Xu Yinglian countered, “To cover all three of us from Kunlun and one from Shushan in the final guess tomorrow, you would need at least four people guessing simultaneously.”
“Don’t forget that the selected one on the other side is one of the two Shushan cultivators, where at least one person must be sacrificed.
That said, the number of people he can actually use is insufficient, hence it can’t be considered a ‘perfect strategy to end the game’.”
“Junior sister, you make a lot of sense,” Luo Baiyuan said with a wry smile, “but that doesn’t give you a reason to act on your own without telling Changgeng.
You two…
are Daoist companions, aren’t you?”
This point was indeed logical, and Xu Yinglian also calmed down, thinking that perhaps she should let her senior brother review the plan and get his opinion on it.
So she transmitted the message secretly and repeated the matter to Qiu Changtian.
“Ah?” Qiu Changtian was momentarily stunned, “Don’t guess just yet.”
“Why not?” Xu Yinglian asked with a frown.
“Because the selected ones are not those two Demon Path cultivators,” Qiu Changtian replied.
“They’re not?
Then who could it be?” Xu Yinglian asked in surprise.
“It’s me,” Qiu Changtian said.
Xu Yinglian:………
“It’s you?” she asked incredulously.
“It’s me,” Qiu Changtian replied, “Didn’t I admit it from the very beginning?
That Mo Gu on the other side didn’t believe it.”
“But why didn’t you tell me?” Xu Yinglian was somewhat angry.
“If I had told you from the start, would you have pressured the Demon Cult real people on the other side to clarify this point?” Qiu Changtian said indifferently, “Look, junior sister, now everyone is confused and can’t figure out who the selected one among us is.
Even the Shushan’s Miaodan True Monarch, who claims the selected one is on Kunlun’s side, actually suspects those two Demon Path real people are lying.”
“In their eyes, a Phoenix Immortal with a character as proud as yours would neither demean herself nor lie.
In comparison, the likelihood of Demon Path cultivators lying is obviously much higher.”
Xu Yinglian fell silent for a while, then with a faintly mocking smile, she said:
“So, senior brother, you’ve been using my personality traits to scheme against them, have you?”
“It’s not really scheming, but simply making the best of the situation… I have not lied to you!” Realizing that his junior sister was somewhat unhappy, Qiu Changtian hastily defended, “After all, you didn’t ask me at the beginning, did you?”
“Because I didn’t ask, you couldn’t tell me proactively and then let me deceive them?” Xu Yinglian said coldly, “In the end, it’s because you think I’m not good at acting, so you deliberately hid this information and used that fact to make me act as myself, is that it?”
Qiu Changtian, with sweat on his back, was at a loss for words, quickly calling out in his mind:
“Ah Jing, Teacher Mirror, please help me!”
“Kneel down and admit your mistake,” the Kunlun Mirror said calmly.
