Chapter 1692: Chapter 1712: You’ve Played This Hand Beautifully!_1

Meng Kaihui’s face turned pale, he forced a bitter smile, "It’s too late to say anything now, we need to withdraw as soon as possible, or else it will be too late."

Zhao Chiha coldly retorted, "Tens of thousands of disciples, how do we withdraw? Where do we go?"

Meng Kaihui gritted his teeth, "I’ve given a list of names to the Immortal Palace. Those on the list only need to withdraw quickly. Tell them you discovered my betrayal and left urgently. I believe that the people of the Immortal Palace will not blame the other disciples, as in fact, the vast majority of them know nothing."

Vice Hall Master Gong Weihe coldly remarked, "So we all withdraw and the Devil Palace is left to you, Meng Kaihui. You’ve played a beautiful game indeed!"

Feng Zhiyin stared at Meng Kaihui, his eyes full of doubt.

Is Meng Kaihui trying to fool him with some kind of reverse psychology?

This fellow has always been enthusiastic about power, always rather dissatisfied with being suppressed by us. Could he be trying to drive us away on purpose, under the guise of a trick, in order to seize control of the Devil Palace?

His relationship with us has never been very good. Is he putting on a show now?

Is he trying to portray himself as a glorious figure who swallows insult and humiliation and sacrifices his relations for the advancement of the Devil Palace?

Meng Kaihui urgently retorted: "If that was the case, why would I talk about it? Why wouldn’t I just wait for the people of the Immortal Palace to come, and annihilate all of you?"

Zhao Chiha coldly replied, "In that scenario, even if you were to succeed. You would never be able to wash off the title of traitor. But now, by revealing your betrayal and forcing us to leave, you get the reputation, the deed, and the benefits. You’ve killed multiple birds with one stone!"

Meng Kaihui turned to look at the silent Feng Zhiyin, "Hall Master, do you also think of me this way?"

Feng Zhiyin sighed, "Regardless of what you’re thinking, the matter is settled. Get ready to withdraw!"

Zhao Chiha voiced his dissatisfaction, "We are giving up our high-status and becoming mice in the gutter, hiding and lurking?"

Feng Zhiyin tried to mollify him, "I’ve talked to the White-clothed Blood Envoy, initially, the Heavenly Dao Alliance thought that the Immortal Palace lord was weak, and wasn’t likely to escalate a large-scale conflict. They will likely choose to primarily go with An Du, after all Yao Xuanji was killed and she did not make any statements immediately."

"Who knew that after lying low for a while, she abruptly issued the Immortal Palace’s Wanted Order, catching the Heavenly Dao Alliance off guard. However, the Alliance has always been cautious, the damage dealt has been moderate."

"The White-clothed Blood Envoy has reported that the situation has changed, the Alliance Leader has requested that the sect dispatch more powerhouses. Once they arrive, the Heavenly Dao Alliance will openly confront the Immortal Palace."

"While the Immortal Palace is deeply rooted and influential, the background of the major forces in the high-rank Immortal Realm is even more terrifying. Currently, although the Immortal Palace is intimidating, the situation will inevitably change completely once the Heavenly Dao Alliance goes public."

"We only need to hide and endure for a while until the storm passes."

Feng Zhiyin’s gaze fell upon Meng Kaihui, "Regardless of your motives, take good care of the Devil Palace once we’ve left. In this way, we’re hedging our bets, and no matter what, the Devil Palace won’t be implicated..."

Meng Kaihui nodded, insisting again, "I will take care and wait for your news. You should go quickly. I heard that the Immortal Palace has its unique Teleportation Formation, which can transport them to various parts of the Immortal Domain. They’ll arrive very soon once they set off."

Feng Zhiyin laughed, "There’s no need to rush. The only one stationed at the Immortal Palace currently is the Mid-Tianxian Stage Chief Guard, Zhong Quan. Given Yao Xuanji’s prestige, even if she gathers support, the number of people who are truly willing to risk their lives for her is limited. We still have time..."

Just then, a seal light flew in from outside, flying straight towards Meng Kaihui.

Meng Kaihui extended his hand to catch the seal light. After reading the information attached to it, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Feng Zhiyin asked, "What’s wrong?"

Meng Kaihui looked up, answering hesitantly, "There’s an old man and a young man outside the gate claiming to be the descendants of my Meng Family, and they want to see me..."

Zhao Chiha frowned, "The Meng Family has been extinct for ages, where would these supposed descendants of yours come from?"

At these words, everyone’s faces instantly changed.

Meng Kaihui quickly turned his gaze to Feng Zhiyin, "We’re in trouble. The people from the Immortal Palace must’ve received my message, they’ve already sent people. Those two probably came to confirm the situation with me beforehand..."

There was a fierce glint in Feng Zhiyin’s eyes, "We were initially planning on leaving quietly. But since they’re here, we might as well meet them. Since we’ve decided to join the Heavenly Dao Alliance, bringing a few initiation gifts today would be beneficial for our future status!"

Meng Kaihui was taken aback, "Hall Master, are you planning to take action against them?"

Feng Zhiyin nodded, his voice full of cold, decisive resolution, "If they are already here, leaving now would only make us easy targets. It’s better to lure them in and activate the Sect’s killing array, giving them a huge surprise!"

Meng Kaihui’s face suddenly changed, "Hall Master, c-can we really do this? If our action fails..."

Feng Zhiyin turned to look at Meng Kaihui; a disquieting smile appeared on his face, "This is the business of our Heavenly Dao Alliance, what does it have to do with your Devil Palace?"
