Chapter 1012: Chapter 801: Breaking into Dragon Gate Mansion

Nestor Headquarters, Intelligence Room.

"We are at the Dragon Gate Mansion, requesting support." Yan Huarou glanced at the trigrams cipher and quickly deciphered it.

"Dragon Gate Mansion?" Xu Yang stood by.

"Miss Lu is going there." Yan Huarou said succinctly, "Under the Weak Water, the Heavenly Masters say the Divine Dragon is resting in Dragon Gate Mansion. It’s very weak, and Miss Lu can seize its power."

Xu Yang leaned against the wall, quickly analyzing the situation.

"But why didn’t you attend the Dragon Slaying Conference? As long as the Dominator is present, the situation wouldn’t be so complicated." Xu Yang asked.

"Just a barrier of different opinions." Yan Huarou said.

Xu Yang instantly understood that Yan Huarou did not belong to Lu Sizhou’s faction and must be serving other forces within Heavenly Cardinal Manufacturing.

Perhaps it was Lu Sizhou’s father, Lu Shibo, or other important members of the board, or maybe some other force.

"Then you should also know who sent the trigrams cipher." Xu Yang said.

"Lu Sizhou or her subordinates." Yan Huarou said swiftly, "Sometimes they must reap what they sow. Dragons are not for everyone to slay, nor are they worthy of slaying. Just because they’ve read the anecdotes of Dream Slaying the Dragon King or seen the comics of Ascension, they think they can challenge a true Divine Dragon... forget it, after all, it’s Lu Sizhou, no surprise, she’s such an ambitious woman."

Xu Yang closed his eyes in contemplation.

Yan Huarou glanced towards the door.

"No need to send news of Lu Sizhou being trapped back," Xu Yang said, eyes closed and hand on his forehead, "Since it’s come to me, let us handle it. If other power players in Heavenly Cardinal Manufacturing hear about this, it might cause complications. Lu Sizhou is, after all, the leader of the Eastern Hemisphere Alliance, let’s not let everyone know the truth of her disappearance. At worst, even if Lu Sizhou never returns, things can continue as usual. Her double is supposed to give a speech today, people are very understanding."

"..." Yan Huarou remained silent.

"I’ve heard that those ancient practitioners also brought the Art of Divine Prediction back to the upper echelons of Heavenly Cardinal Manufacturing." Xu Yang continued gathering information with his eyes still closed.

Divine Prediction, the wisdom of the ancestors, is a means of foreseeing fortune and misfortune. The idiom ’One Word Becomes a Prophecy’ refers to this kind of prophecy technique.

"Right, the Immortals brought back lost almanacs and Chronological Classics, leaving obscure divinations for the corporate elites, which are quite efficacious. Now the most mysterious prophecy: ’Beauty gains the pearl, perform a covert switch. Yin and yang alternate, the throne changes hands.’ What do you think this refers to?" Yan Huarou said.

The beauty gaining the pearl is likely a treasure-seeking imagery.

The covert switch is probably related to theft.

The alternation of yin and yang, and the throne changing hands, is likely referring to the change of the chairman position of Heavenly Cardinal Manufacturing?

"A complete corporate fate theory indeed." Xu Yang said.

"That’s what the Immortals said, and then everything started to change. Lu Sizhou soon started promoting the Dragon Slaying Conference, she had no choice." Yan Huarou sighed.

"Because Lu Shibo wants to kill her." Xu Yang understood.

The Immortals used the Art of Divine Prediction to produce a prophecy: A beauty will steal the Dragon Palace’s Secret Treasure and replace the chairman position of Heavenly Cardinal Manufacturing, truly a change of days.

The debilitated Lu Shibo is certainly unrelated to the term "beauty," and rumors have always circulated about Lu Sizhou needing to seize power early to make Lu Shibo step down.

The Immortals’ prophecy directly drove Lu Sizhou into action, forcing her to quickly flee from the corporate high-ups and proceed with her Dragon Slaying Conference.

If she didn’t go, she would surely be captured and killed by Lu Shibo.

Lu Sizhou’s path to life was only to conform to the prophecy and seek the opportunity in this so-called ’beauty gains the pearl, the throne changes hands.’

Truly sinister.

Xu Yang opened his eyes.

"What if the Immortals have deceived Lu Sizhou? The Art of Divine Prediction had been banned for generations and was long extinct, the Immortals were resurrected by your company from history, each with hidden motives, with the right to interpret entirely in their hands. What if they are just using Lu Sizhou’s ’momentum’ to invade Dragon Gate Mansion, and it’s all for the Immortals’ own opportunity?" he said.

Yan Huarou slowly nodded.

"Then we can solve both Lu Sizhou and the Heavenly Masters in one go, no one wants Lu Sizhou to continue her tyrannical reign within the group. Do you know the Pixiu? The Pixiu loves to eat, if it ascends to a high position, it would devour everyone else, leaving no survivors. Lu Sizhou is such a Pixiu." Yan Huarou said.

Xu Yang sighed.

Lu Sizhou deserved whatever fate, that woman’s wolfish ambition, suffering the consequences of her actions was normal.

But what of Lu Jing, dear Xiao Lu, as Lu Sizhou’s green-clothed maid, she’s now at the Dragon Gate Mansion, awaiting a doomed fate.

"I must go out and send a message to our chairman, feel free to supervise me." Yan Huarou suggested, "Relax, the chairman knows what to do."

"Go ahead." Xu Yang monitored the communication channel, ready to react if Yan Huarou sent or received any inappropriate messages.

Yan Huarou nodded slowly, then turned to leave the intelligence room.

Xu Yang paced in place.

"So, Dragon Gate Mansion?" Farosa was somehow already beside Xu Yang.

"We need to find a way to go there." Xu Yang said, "At least to rescue Lu Jing."

"The God on the brink of death is at the Dragon Gate Mansion, I must enter to capture the dying breath of the Divine Dragon, so the Godslayer Weapon can truly be unsealed." Farosa said.

"Then, we need to consider what to travel by, where to enter from, and how to maintain contact with the outside once inside." Xu Yang was standing next to the terminal, organizing the plan.
