Chapter 2776: Chapter 2776: Discovered, Yet No One Knows
"Jiyun, what benefits could they gain by stirring chaos at Huayan Peak?" An Jiuyue looked at him, asking.
The game at Huayan Peak was something she didn’t quite understand, so she had to ask Jiyun. She was curious about the motives of the person who had sent someone to assassinate others.
Could it be that by killing someone, they could force others to submit to them?
"When chaos arises, people will choose sides. They can then persuade others, potentially gaining a significant following," Qian Jiyun said in a deep voice. It was indeed a clever strategy.
"Huayan Peak is a place driven by interests. Even if people close to them were killed, as the guards who kill demonic beasts day in and day out, they wouldn’t be too disturbed.
In the end, to survive, they would have to make a choice: either band together to resist or submit."
"Tsk."
An Jiuyue clicked her tongue lightly.
"That’s ruthless."
This was a form of intimidation. If they didn’t surrender, they would be killed, forcing people to make a decision.
So naturally, when faced with a dead end and submission, many would choose the latter. Nobody wants to die a senseless death.
"I wonder how many people will oppose us in the future?"
"Sis, you don’t need to worry. The assassination attempt this time should have failed. At least from what I’ve heard, none of them were successful. The worst cases were severe injuries and comas, with no danger to their lives."
An Zhiyi said.
Of course, this was only based on what he had heard. He didn’t know about others—there might have been those who fell during the assassination.
"Was I worried?"
An Jiuyue smiled, questioning him back, then looked at Qian Jiyun.
"Jiyun, when do you think they’ll try again since this one failed?" she asked.
The fact that they failed was even more concerning, but this was expected. If those people were hiding without doing anything, she’d be more worried.
"Tomorrow, or the day after," Qian Jiyun replied.
Since one attempt failed, it’s unlikely they’ll try another assassination again. They must be thinking of other methods now.
"At Huayan Peak, the demonic beasts in each protected ground are the best. I can’t imagine what benefits those people could offer to tempt the guards to work for them."
"Pfft."
An Jiuyue burst out laughing.
Indeed, the inner core is the most solid currency at Huayan Peak, but the production of inner cores only takes place in the protected grounds. Those people wouldn’t be so bold as to seize several protected grounds, slay demonic beasts, and snatch inner cores, would they?
Doing so would completely expose them, leaving nothing to hide.
So that leaves the second-best currency.
"Original Soul Stones might be a good choice, but hasn’t Huayan Peak not discovered any new Original Soulstone Field in recent years?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Jiyun shook his head.
"Perhaps they’ve discovered one, but no one knows," he said.
An Jiuyue was stunned, and An Zhiyi also directed his gaze at Qian Jiyun.
"Brother-in-law, are you suggesting that those people might have an Original Soulstone Field in their possession? That’s why they dare to boldly attempt to take over the entire Huayan Peak?"
Tsk tsk, who gave them such courage? An Original Soulstone Field made them so arrogant, thinking of doing bigger things like ruling the entire Huayan Peak.
"That person wouldn’t be trying to make Huayan Peak like the planes, where the royal family rules the world, would they?"
After saying this, he clicked his tongue secretly. If that were the case, what was that person thinking? If Huayan Peak could truly be ruled like that, someone would have already stepped up, wouldn’t they?
