467: The scapegoat

The Blood Race Holy Land, back garden.

Helden’s mind echoed with a respectful voice.

“King Her, they’ve left.”

“What did they say?”

Xiao Ying repeated the conversation Ting Qiao and Lilith had just had.

After listening, Helden said indifferently, “Keep an eye on them.”

At this moment, Xiao Ying couldn’t help but say, “King Her, I feel that Ting Qiao truly has a problem!”

“What problem does he have?”

“He’s too smart, too strong, and appeared too suddenly.”

“Anything else?”

“King Her, you might not believe me, but I always feel… he’s Human Race!”

Xiao Ying thought that by voicing this conjecture, King Her would be somewhat surprised.

But unexpectedly, King Her remained as calm and composed as ever.

“Hmm, but I don’t think he has any problem.”

As soon as these words were uttered,

Xiao Ying suddenly understood. He chuckled, “Xiao Ying understands. So he’s one of our own.”

“Then should Xiao Ying continue to protect Your Highness Lilith?”

Helden said indifferently, “Good. Also, if their plan encounters any accidents, you must make those accidents disappear.”

“Yes, King Her, but… our own brother seems a bit ruthless. I always feel that he won’t stop after just dealing with one Emperor Blood. If things get too big, it’ll be hard to clean up.”

At this moment, King Her said casually, “I’ve always regarded Lilith as my own daughter. The child is growing, so she should eat more.”

“If it can’t be cleaned up, then kill them all.”

“This…” Xiao Ying frowned deeply and said, “King Her, after the Water Spirit battle last time, many people have already suspected you. Although you haven’t left the Blood Race Holy Land, you know how much they fear you.”

“Moreover, although Hara is currently the Sect Leader, as long as you are still here, others will still believe that you are the true helmsman of the church.”

“Everyone knows that you are extremely good to Lilith. If this matter escalates this time, and Lilith ultimately becomes the biggest beneficiary, their suspicion of you might increase even further.”

At this moment, Helden took a sip of the watermelon juice beside him, sighed, and said, “Xiao Ying, how did I teach you before? When encountering such a situation, what should we do?”

“Xiao Ying always remembers the King’s teachings: we should shift the responsibility and find a scapegoat. But now, who else in the world is qualified to bear this blame and make others believe it?”

“Xiao Ying truly can’t think of a suitable candidate.”

Helden sighed again and said, “Taiping Divine Sect.”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ying’s voice trembled suddenly, saying, “You… you want to dump all the blame from this period onto the priests?”

“This… isn’t appropriate, is it?”

“What if the priests aren’t willing?”

Helden said indifferently, “You don’t need to worry about that. You just need to guide public opinion towards them at the right time.”

Xiao Ying was stunned, but having followed King Her for hundreds of years, he immediately reacted!

“You mean the Taiping Divine Sect will cooperate with us? What the heck? King, my great King, no way? The Taiping Divine Sect is also our people?”

Xiao Ying’s emotions were hard to calm. He had always known that the King could always solve any problem.

But he never thought that even the Taiping Divine Sect was one of their people.

This was too surprising!

How deeply was this hidden?

He was the King’s shadow, the King’s second most trusted person after Hara.

Over these hundreds of years, he had handled too many highly confidential matters for the King, but he never imagined that they and the Taiping Divine Sect were actually on the same side.

Didn’t the King fight the priests for seven days and seven nights before?

So it was… acting?

It was quite shocking!

But upon closer thought, it was indeed almost time.

The great war was less than a year away from starting.

The Taiping Divine Sect also needed to choose a side.

At this time, for the Taiping Divine Sect not to side with the Human Race, not to side with the Galaxy King Alliance, but to directly side with the Earth Goddess Alliance, it was undoubtedly a strong stimulant for them!

Because they knew that if it weren’t for the King’s layered strategies and various methods, the hard power of their Earth Goddess Alliance was actually inferior to those alien dogs.

But now, hope had arrived.

With the Taiping Divine Sect, the hard power of the Earth Goddess Alliance would significantly increase!

Thinking of this, Xiao Ying was in a very pleasant mood.

He joked, “King, let me tell you a personal opinion of mine.”

“Hmm?”

“I feel… Your Highness Lilith seems to have something going on with our own brother!”

“Why?”

“Because the intimacy between Your Highness Lilith and that brother, although it seems ordinary, is actually better than her intimacy with her teammates.”

Helden frowned and said, “What kind of messy things are you paying attention to every day?”

“Why would you think that a Blood Race would be with a Demon Clan?”

“This…” Xiao Ying said, “Although this matter does sound a bit bizarre, Lilith truly treats Ting Qiao a little differently. There’s sympathy in her eyes!”

“You know, many loves begin with sympathy!”

“Is that so…”

Suddenly, Xiao Ying felt a sense of oppression wash over him.

King Her’s emotions seemed to have a sudden “small ripple.”

He said in a deep voice, “Lilith is in her growth period right now. It’s not time for her to be talking about love.”

“You must prevent such a thing from happening.”

“Ah?” Xiao Ying was dumbfounded and said, “How… how do I prevent it?”

“You telling me to prevent the Seventh War Zone from fighting would be easier.”

“I don’t know how to handle these matters of love, King!”

“You don’t know?” Helden said coldly.

“I, I, I… I’ll try my best, I’ll try my best, I’m hanging up, King!”

When Mental Energy reaches a certain level, one can communicate over extremely long distances.

Xiao Ying was a Mental Energy expert personally trained by Helden.

At this moment, he suddenly cut off the Mental communication.

Helden’s hand, holding the watermelon juice, unconsciously exerted a little force, accidentally crushing the cup into fragments.

Asha, seeing this, hurried over, her face full of anxiety, saying, “Are you alright?”

She was very flustered because she had never seen Helden lose emotional control.

For Helden, accidentally crushing a cup was definitely something that only happened when he was in extreme emotional distress.

How many earth-shattering events back then had failed to cause even a ripple in his emotions, at least he never showed it, never let anyone see it!

Asha was even a little panicked.

What kind of matter could make this eternally strategic King so furious?

At this moment, Helden took a deep breath, shook his head, and said, “I’m fine.”

Then, he recomposed himself.

The cup and the watermelon juice inside returned to their original state.

But Asha, still couldn’t help but worry, thinking that a major problem had occurred in some part of the plan.
