129: Chapter 129: The Twin Saints of the Heavenly Stars Spread Rumors Against Zhao Changsheng!

After parting ways with Third Aunt Wan, Zhao Changsheng immediately informed the Star Palace Grand Elder about the matter.

He did so via a ten-thousand-mile transmission talisman!

Given the magnitude of the situation, the Star Palace Grand Elder naturally reported it to the Twin Saints of Heavenly Star at once.

“To think he could actually invite that Madwoman from the Myriad Laws Sect... but will she really help kill the Six Paths Extreme Saint? Or is she planning to help him instead? After all, haven't the Righteous and Demonic Paths already planned to cooperate and form the Reverse Star Alliance? How could she sincerely help kill the Six Paths Extreme Saint?”

Upon hearing the Grand Elder's report, Wen Qing's brow furrowed quite severely—extremely so.

She did not believe Third Aunt Wan would truly help. Instead, she worried that the attempt to kill the Six Paths Extreme Saint would fail because of her.

While Wen Qing hadn't expected success, she felt that both sides perishing together would be the best outcome.

Now, it seemed things were deviating from their original expectations.

“Well said. That Madwoman likely won't help with any sincerity. She's always been erratic; who knows what she's thinking. But how did those two ever get involved with each other?”

Ling Xiaofeng nodded, fully agreeing with Wen Qing's deduction.

“If that's the case, this matter might become very difficult to resolve. It might even cause the Righteous and Demonic Paths to form the Reverse Star Alliance prematurely. The Star Palace will be in trouble then.”

Wen Qing's expression was quite unsightly, and her tone grew tinged with worry.

“It’s too late for regrets now. We can only take it one step at a time and hope that Madwoman is sincere about helping. But how is that possible? Although her grievances with us are far less than those with Six Paths, there is still bad blood between us.”

Ling Xiaofeng shook his head, also feeling a massive headache coming on.

The current situation had far exceeded their predictions.

“Let’s hope everything goes smoothly. What is that Madwoman thinking? We don't know. Perhaps that Elder Zhao made some promise that tempted her.”

Wen Qing could only try to look on the bright side.

“What kind of promise could it be? What could tempt a person like her? Could he have promised to marry her?”

As soon as Ling Xiaofeng said this, both Wen Qing and the Star Palace Grand Elder almost burst out laughing.

“How could that be possible? Tell me, in the entire Star Sea, who would dare marry that Madwoman?”

“Besides, she has always been incredibly arrogant. How could she ever take an interest in another man? Even back then, she didn't care for the Six Paths Extreme Saint—my own elder brother. And even you were the same; she never gave you a second glance.”

Wen Qing shook her head, speaking with a wry smile.

She didn't believe it at all.

After all, she and the Madwoman were of the same generation, so she naturally knew the situation back then.

Wen Qing's suitors had been countless, but Third Aunt Wan didn't have a single one.

The main reason was her extreme arrogance; essentially, no man could ever catch her eye.

Wen Qing was well aware of this fact.

“That is the truth. Back then, Revered Master even wanted to matchmake me with the Madwoman. Fortunately, it didn't work out, or I would have been in big trouble. That woman is completely unhinged, not like a lady at all. However, her talent for cultivation and the power of her Divine Abilities are indeed startling. Among the four of us, only I am certain I could steadily defeat her; neither you nor Six Paths have that assurance.”

“But if Six Paths has successfully cultivated his Divine Ability, it might be possible for him. I just don't know if Six Paths will personally take action this time.”

Ling Xiaofeng voiced his concerns.

“Then there's Elder Zhao. Exactly how many Fellow Daoists does he plan to invite? And how many of them will sincerely help? These are all unknowns. I really didn't expect him to actually intend to kill the Six Paths Extreme Saint. Could he really have fallen for Madam Wen?”

Ling Xiaofeng felt his headache returning.

“Regardless, as long as both sides perish together, it will be the best result. If we can drag that Madwoman, Third Aunt Wan, down with them this time, that would be truly wonderful.”

“That way, all our worries and future troubles would be completely resolved.”

Wen Qing stated what she considered the ideal outcome.

“It won't be that easy; those three aren't fools. We can only wait for the final result and hope they don't disappoint us.”

“What if they join forces?”

Suddenly, the Star Palace Grand Elder spoke up with an ill-timed suggestion.

It was also the most troublesome possibility!

“If they join forces, that would be the greatest trouble of all.”

Sure enough, as soon as those words were spoken, the faces of the Twin Saints darkened instantly.

Because it was indeed possible, and the probability wasn't small.

“Then spread word that Wen Tianren was killed by Elder Zhao. Also, say that Madam Wen has already engaged in Dual Cultivation with Elder Zhao. We must strive to deepen the grudge between them. That way, no matter how much Six Paths tries to endure, he will have to consider his own reputation.”

Ling Xiaofeng immediately made the decision.

His plan was to spread rumors while revealing the actual truth.

Hearing this, the Star Palace Grand Elder naturally agreed at once.

“I understand.”

After saying this, the Grand Elder left immediately, not lingering any longer.

Once the Star Palace Grand Elder had departed, Wen Qing spoke up with some confusion.

“While those measures are good, can they really prevent the Six Paths Extreme Saint from joining forces with them?”

Regarding what Ling Xiaofeng had said, Wen Qing didn't think it would be enough to affect a potential Alliance.

If both sides truly wanted to join forces, such matters would be trivial compared to overthrowing the Star Palace.

“We have to try regardless. Don't worry too much; even if they join forces, it’s impossible for them to break into Heavenly Star City. They don't have the capability.”

Ling Xiaofeng offered words of comfort.

“True. Then what do you think Elder Zhao's chances of success are this time?”

Wen Qing brought up the other possibility—the possibility of killing the Six Paths Extreme Saint.

“If the Madwoman is willing to go all out, and with Savage Beard and several other Fellow Daoists, the chance of success is at least fifty percent. After all, if they joined forces, even I could only hope to escape unscathed at best, or perhaps retreat with heavy injuries. Let alone the Six Paths Extreme Saint.”

Ling Xiaofeng thought for a moment before answering.

“It would be best if they all perished together. If Third Aunt Wan, the Six Paths Extreme Saint, and that Elder Zhao were all gone, it would be the best possible thing for us.”

Wen Qing voiced her most satisfying ideal outcome.

“You're right, that would indeed be the best result. But the likelihood isn't high; we can only leave it to fate.”
