Chapter 932: Chapter 698: The Calculations of the Great Divine Transcendents (10,000 words) _6

When Jiang Xuan learned the truth, it felt like his faith had collapsed. He stood there dumbfounded for a long time before he finally snapped back to reality. Then an endless wave of anger and humiliation surged into his heart, exploding into a sky-high intent to kill.

At that time, Jiang Xuan truly wished he could draw his sword and slay those Great Divine Transcendents.

It was too humiliating; not only had they been played for fools for countless years, but they had also been grateful to those deceivers. It’s possible that the Great Divine Transcendents of the Mystic Sect were secretly mocking the Human Race behind their backs.

Who could endure such humiliation?

Whenever he thought of it, he felt like bellowing to the heavens and then smashing his head into the ground in frustration.

But what could he do, even with all his anger? The Human Race was no match for the Mystic Sect. Other than enduring, they had no choice but to bear it. Then, they had to turn their shame and indignation into power, striving to cultivate and hoping to obtain the power for revenge one day.

"Alas, the foreign races’ determination to destroy us will never die. I only hate my own powerlessness, unable to take their lives with my own hands! If one day my cultivation is successful, I will surely make them pay the price."

Jiang Chen clenched his fists tightly, keeping this matter firmly in mind. Once he achieved the Dao in the future, he would certainly settle scores with those behind the scenes.

However, this incident also served as a reminder to Jiang Chen that the Great Divine Transcendents of the Mystic Sect were not as simple as he had thought. If they had manipulated the Human Race casually, that would have been one thing. But if it was intentional, it was terrifying indeed.

Their ability to foresee the Human Race’s potential in the Great Ancient era and set up their plan early on was truly astonishing.

"It’s utterly unpredictable!"

Hou Yi shook his head beside him, feeling rather helpless. The schemes of the Great Divine Transcendents of the Mystic Sect against the Human Race seemed unsolvable.

They plotted against you when you were at your weakest, and they did so under the guise of saving you. So, not only did you remain unaware of being schemed against, but you also felt indebted to the schemers. They completely had the Human Race in their grip.

According to the Mystic Sect Great Divine Transcendents’ schemes, if the Human Race wasn’t strong, there would be no issue; but once they rose, their flaws would be exposed everywhere, leaving them without secrets and subject to countermeasures.

The only consolation was that part of the Human Race was truly disappointing. Even with the substantial support of the Great Divine Transcendents of the Mystic Sect, they had only managed to give rise to one Quasi-Saint, having a rather limited impact on the Human Race.

Otherwise, if this group of the Human Race had produced a large number of experts who firmly held power within the Human Race, then the Human Race would have been truly doomed and completely turned into puppets of the Mystic Sect.

"Rest assured, my ancestor. Now that I am the Human King, I absolutely cannot tolerate those from the Hall of Laws. Once I take action, I will slay them cleanly to bring peace back to our race."

"If one’s heart is no longer with our Human Race, then even if they are of our race, they are no longer considered one of us. They are all traitors to our clan and cannot be forgiven."

The more Jiang Chen knew, the stronger the killing intent for those like the Hall of Laws’ master grew in his heart. These people had completely become henchmen of the Mystic Sect. Their actions were no different from betrayal. If they were not killed, it wouldn’t appease the public’s wrath.

Moreover, Jiang Chen was well aware that probably only he was capable of slaying the master of the Hall of Laws and his ilk within the Human Race. Being a disciple of the Mystic Sect himself, he would not fear the retribution of the Great Divine Transcendents of the Mystic Sect after killing those individuals.

At that moment, Jiang Chen suddenly had an epiphany. No wonder the high ranks of the Human Race allowed their people to join the Mystic Sect; their goal might well have been to nurture a top-notch expert to seize an opportunity to execute the likes of the Hall of Laws’ master.

"Kill?"

"I’m afraid it’s too late. Seeing you become the Human King, the master of the Hall of Laws must have already started to make his move," Jiang Xuan said, shaking his head with a hint of helplessness. If Jiang Chen’s foundation as Human King was complete, he could have gone to the Hall of Laws to kill them right now. Unfortunately, with a shortfall in his Human King Dao Fruit, acting rashly against the Human Race’s powerhouses could cause backlash from Fate, potentially shattering the Dao Fruit he had just condensed.

Not to mention, the master of the Hall of Laws was not the type to sit and wait for death. Seeing Jiang Chen become king, he must have already begun to take action, using various means to protect himself, making Jiang Chen hesitant to strike against him.

"Haha, ancestor, you think too highly of the Hall of Laws’ master. What can he do? It’s nothing but harvesting fruits early, letting the lineage of the others return to the Human Race, thereby increasing his own Fate."

"If he handles it properly, he might be able to establish himself as a Quasi-King, just like me."

"Little does he know, that’s exactly what I’m hoping to see," Jiang Chen said with confidence. After reaching the late stage of Quasi-Saint, his powerful spiritual senses underwent a transformation, giving him a feeling of control over everything. With a single thought, he saw through all the plans of the master of the Hall of Laws.

For instance, right now, the master of the Hall of Laws was hurriedly heading in the direction of the other lineage while stealthily assessing the situation here.

All of this was perceived by Jiang Chen, and he was also clear on the intentions of the other lineage. However, he did not mind, for the master of the Hall of Laws’ actions were exactly what he wanted to see.

The faction of the Hall of Laws’ master had been lurking within the Human Race for too long. After many years of development, their power had become intricate and convoluted; it was not realistic to think of completely eradicating them, nor was there the energy to do so.

Therefore, Jiang Chen purposely let the master of the Hall of Laws make his plans, continuously ally and expose all the forces of his faction. In this way, Jiang Chen could wipe them out in one fell swoop, returning tranquility to the Human Race.

"Indeed, it’s better to have them expose themselves rather than searching for them one by one. Moreover, the return of the other lineage is, for the time being, a good thing for our Human Race, as it can cause our Fate to surge dramatically in a short time." Realizing Jiang Chen’s intentions, Jiang Xuan thought it through and found it made a lot of sense.

As long as they create a situation where the master of the Hall of Laws feels he can succeed, they wouldn’t need Jiang Chen to take action; he would expose his network of relationships himself.

Concerning the other lineage, if it went according to the plans of the master of the Hall of Laws, the natural course would be to kill them all and erase their existence. However, given the change in circumstances, with Jiang Chen as a formidable obstacle, he had to adjust his plan and try his best to subdue the other lineage instead of killing them.

Though the other lineage was deplorable, under the secret support of the master of the Hall of Laws over the years, gathering several Innate Taoist Masters was not difficult.

Several Innate Taoist Masters represented a very powerful force, capable of aiding the master of the Hall of Laws and helping him to deal with Jiang Chen.

As for the rest of the others, if worse comes to worst, they could still serve as cannon fodder, serving some purpose. In any case, keeping the other lineage was better than killing them off.
