555: Chapter 555 Acting? We're familiar with that!

"Can someone tell me exactly what's going on?

If it wasn't the Cultivators of your Taiyin Holy Land who did it, then who exactly was the attacker?"

Holy Lord Tianyang rubbed his head, unable to figure it out even after thinking for a long time.

Immediately after, he glanced at the Taiyin Holy Master, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

He still harbored some suspicions toward the Taiyin Holy Land.

But just now, the Taiyin Cultivators had all sworn a heavenly dao oath.

This proved that it really wasn't them who sent someone to do it.

After all, he had never heard of...

...anyone being able to lie during a heavenly dao oath without triggering a lightning punishment.

At this moment, Quenching Fire was standing behind Su Yun.

The fury in his heart had also calmed down.

Now, he only felt incredibly confused.

Who exactly was it that had attacked his precious son?

"Taixuan Holy Master, we have already sworn a heavenly dao oath.

It proves that the matter of attacking the Taixuan Disciples has nothing to do with us.

You should finally believe us this time!"

The Taiyin Holy Master looked at Su Yun and spoke with lingering fear.

"Hmm, you shouldn't be lying."

Su Yun nodded.

He paused for a moment and then continued.

"By the way, Fellow Daoists, I almost forgot to mention.

Just now, I discovered that someone has been spying on the situation here.

Unlike other Central Domain forces observing from a distance...

...the voyeur isn't near the Taiyin Domain at all.

Instead, they are in a very distant location.

Their methods are also very sophisticated.

I haven't found where the voyeur is located yet."

"What? Such a thing actually happened?

But I didn't feel a thing!

Is someone really spying on us from the shadows?"

"The Taixuan Holy Master certainly wouldn't speak nonsense!

Have you forgotten what happened at Martial Immortal City last time?"

"True, but to think that even the Taixuan Holy Master hasn't found where the voyeur is?

Hiss~ Doesn't that mean the voyeur's strength is very high?"

...

Everyone was shocked upon hearing this and began to discuss it fervently.

Logically speaking, the great battle between them...

...would likely attract the investigations of surrounding forces.

But as Holy Land-level forces...

...they were the strongest powers in the Central Domain, second only to the Hidden Sects.

Other forces would, at most, take a look at the situation.

It was impossible for them to keep spying on them.

Therefore, this voyeur definitely had ill intentions!

At this moment, the Holy Lord Tianyang's eyes suddenly widened as he realized something.

"Wait, Taixuan Holy Master, do you mean..."

"This attack was deliberately engineered by someone...

...specifically to stir up conflict between our Holy Lands?

Perhaps it's related to that Cultivator who has been spying on us?"

"It's more or less like that," Su Yun replied directly.

"Then what should we do now?

How can we find the mastermind behind this incident?

So many Disciples of our Holy Land have been severely injured, their Foundations destroyed; they probably won't be able to cultivate ever again.

Who could be so vicious as to provoke a struggle between our Holy Lands?"

The Taiyin Holy Master's face was gloomy as he spoke with a furious tone.

It had always been him plotting against others.

Secretly developing the Taiyin Holy Land.

This was how the Taiyin Holy Land had continuously grown stronger.

Rising from the bottom tier of the Ten Great Holy Lands to the upper-middle level.

But now, someone had actually dared to plot against him!

"Dammit! If we can find the mastermind, our Xuanqing Holy Land will certainly not let them off!"

The Xuanqing Holy Master also had an ugly expression, his fists clenched tightly.

"By the way, Taixuan Holy Master, do you have any ideas?"

The Holy Lord Tianyang pondered for a moment before suddenly looking at Su Yun.

Hearing this, the Cultivators from the other Holy Lands also looked toward Su Yun.

After all, Su Yun's strength was the greatest present, and he had become the Taixuan Holy Master at such a young age.

He had also propelled the Taixuan Holy Land to become the strongest among the Ten Great Holy Lands.

He was certainly not simple.

Perhaps Su Yun had a good plan!

Su Yun looked at everyone, a glint flashing in his eyes, and said indifferently, "There is a way, though I'm not sure if it will be effective."

"Please speak, Taixuan Holy Master. Our Taiyin Holy Land will fully cooperate with your plan!"

The Taiyin Holy Master thumped his chest and guaranteed.

It was useless not to cooperate.

He didn't have the strength to resist anyway.

Hadn't he seen that even the Grand Elders of their Taiyin Holy Land had backed down?

The Xuanqing Holy Master and Holy Lord Tianyang also agreed.

"Indeed, our Tongyang Holy Land will also cooperate."

"The Xuanqing Holy Land as well."

Needless to say for the other Holy Land Elders.

Each of them looked at Su Yun with rapt attention.

"If we don't continue fighting each other now..."

...and don't completely escalate the conflict between the Holy Lands into mutual hostility...

...then it will surely alert the enemy.

It would make the mastermind think the plan failed, leading them to use another one.

That would be quite troublesome."

"Therefore, we should beat them at their own game.

We'll act as if we haven't noticed anything suspicious about this matter.

Business as usual.

The mastermind must have some specific purpose for doing this.

They will eventually implement the next step of their plan and reveal their tail.

At that time, we only need to investigate secretly, and we'll be able to follow the clues to find out who is behind this."

Su Yun said slowly upon seeing their reactions.

"This plan is brilliant!"

"Yes, this way, the mastermind will surely jump out on their own, and then we can learn their identity!"

"The Taixuan Holy Master is truly incredibly clever; this old man is full of admiration!"

...

Everyone's eyes lit up as they exclaimed in wonder.

Then, the Taiyin Holy Master's face suddenly grew serious as he said with some worry.

"Taixuan Holy Master, this plan is good.

However, our conversation here...

...won't it also be overheard by that voyeur?"

"Then wouldn't the plan fail before it's even implemented?"

"True, the Taiyin Holy Master has a point!"

"I think so too!"

"What should we do then!

If this plan is successfully implemented, we can definitely drag the mastermind out!"

Hearing this, the excitement in everyone's hearts instantly cooled by half.

"Don't worry, I had my suspicions earlier.

So I used some methods...

...to set up a layer of illusions nearby."

A glint flashed in Su Yun's eyes as he spoke in a gentle tone.

"Under the effect of the illusion...

...those voyeurs won't know the situation here.

They will only think that we are still in the middle of a battle."

Hearing Su Yun's words, everyone immediately felt relieved. They all let out a sigh of relief and spoke with excited tones.

"That's wonderful! The Taixuan Holy Master actually made preparations in advance!

He truly predicts things like a god!"

"Then should we start acting now, pretending to fight each other?

And then completely break off relations!

Announce to the Central Domain that we are now irreconcilable enemies?"

"Acting? We're experts at this!

Wait a bit and we'll put on a show, guaranteed to be realistic!"

"Mhm~ that's a good idea. Only by doing this will it seem more authentic."

"We must drag out that mastermind.

To dare plot against our four Great Holy Lands like this...

...they must be tired of living!"

...

Su Yun waved his hand and said loudly, "Fellow Daoists, please wait a moment. Before the plan begins, there is one more thing that needs to be done!"
