Chapter 12: The Perfect Strategy to Break the Impasse



After Qiu Changtian spoke, everyone finally lost their composure.

"Is this a threat?" asked another demon cult master gloomily.

"No, this is a reminder." Qiu Changtian said calmly, "In terms of 'not letting the other party guess the identity of the chosen one', our interests are the same."

"For the sake of common interests, we can still temporarily cease fire and cooperate. If we leave this aside, we will have nothing to discuss."

The whole audience finally fell silent, and everyone began to think carefully about the meaning.

After a while, the Demon Flame Master slowly said:

"I am not the chosen one."

"Me neither." The Demon Cult master next to him said the same thing.

"Haha." Miao Dan Zhenren of Shushan suddenly laughed, "Me neither... It seems that the chosen one is among you Kunlun."

There was so much sarcasm in her laughter that Xu Yinglian frowned. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard an arrogant voice from outside:

"So you are here, Mo Yan! Great, who is the chosen one here? Can you tell me?"

Four Yin Gui Dao monks walked in swaggeringly. Xu Yinglian keenly noticed that a trace of extremely subtle fear and dread flashed across the face of the real person Mo Yan opposite him.

Qiu Changtian also looked closely. The leading Yin Guidao cultivator had an unfamiliar appearance and he had never seen him before. However, judging from the aura that the other party released unscrupulously, he was most likely at the Youwei Stage of the Jindan Realm.

"Oh, Han Yuan is here too?" The other person suddenly noticed Luo Baiyuan, came over and stepped on her desk, showing a provocative smile.

"Demon Bone, take your foot off." Luo Baiyuan said with a frown.

"No." The other party seemed to be deliberately trying to disgust her, and laughed, "Come and hit me if you can."

Qiu Changtian was thinking about something nearby, and thought that according to what Master Liandu had said before, using force here would probably violate some kind of rules.

The other party seemed extremely arrogant, but in fact he was trying to lure Senior Sister Luo to make the first move. This showed that he was not as rough as he looked, but rather a scheming fellow.

"It stinks." Luo Baiyuan did not fall for it, but stood up and dodged it, covering his nose with his sleeve, and walked to the side of Xu Yinglian, "This person's feet are still so smelly."

"Senior sister, come here quickly." Xu Yinglian cast the Universal Clear Sound Light Spell and placed it directly on Luo Baiyuan's body, and warned, "Come here quickly, be careful not to get poisoned."

"Pfft." Miao Dan Zhenren on the opposite side immediately laughed out loud. Seeing that Mo Gu Zhenren looked at her with an unhappy face, she said in a teasing tone, "Mo Gu, you are a cultivator, how come you still have athlete's foot?"

Master Mo Gu's face turned dark, but he was not stupid enough to argue with the other party on the topic of "athlete's foot". His eyes quickly swept across the audience and soon fell on Qiu Changtian.

"First-grade golden elixir, Chang Geng Zhenren." He said in amazement, "It is said that he is born with a clear mind of Taoism, and is cherished by Kunlun Ziwei Sect Master!"

"How is it? Did this Master Liandu designate you as the chosen one? Can you tell me, Brother Qiu?"

"Sure." Qiu Changtian nodded readily, "It's me. You can tell me my name when you go back."

Demon Bone Master was originally staring at him provocatively, but upon hearing this, his eyes immediately widened.

After a while, he sneered and said:

"You want to trick me? You really underestimate me."

"I didn't lie and I don't need to lie." Qiu Changtian said calmly, "If you don't believe it, that's your business."

"This is a poor way of provoking me." Demon Bone Master said coldly, and swept his eyes over the crowd again. Suddenly, he chuckled and said, "Just keep hiding your heads and showing your tails!"

"Anyway, I've found the perfect solution. You guys just keep struggling until you fail completely! Hahahaha..."

After saying that, he left in a swagger with the other three Demon Sect masters.

The six real people who remained in the venue looked at each other, and no one spoke for a while.

"Brother." Xu Yinglian used the secret sound transmission method to communicate with Qiu Changtian and asked, "He said that there is a perfect way to break the deadlock. Do you think it is true or false?"

"There is no perfect solution." Qiu Changtian pondered for a moment and replied, "But there is definitely a solution... Do you still remember the number of Demon Sect masters who came in with him?"

"Three of you, what's wrong?" Xu Yinglian said hesitantly, and suddenly realized, "Could it be!"

"If he can completely control the three Demon Sect masters, then we can eliminate the possibility of the other two Demon Sect masters on our side. They only need to guess one of the four of us after noon tomorrow." Qiu Changtian replied, "In this way, the Yin Gui Dao will definitely have someone who guesses correctly in this test."

"If that's the case, can we do the same?" Xu Yinglian immediately had an idea, but then he frowned and rejected it, "No!"

"Yes, it is indeed not possible." Qiu Changtian replied, "Even if we can convince Senior Sister Luo, it will be difficult for Master Miaodan of Shushan to agree to cooperate with us in this way - after all, she only has a one-quarter chance of guessing correctly, while we at Kunlun have a three-quarter chance."

"If she thinks that someone on the other side is the chosen one, and I have already guessed this person, then she probably won't be willing to change her answer." Xu Yinglian sighed, "After all, letting Kunlun win will not bring her any substantial benefits."

"That's right." Qiu Changtian said in a deep voice, "For Demon Bone Master himself, the probability of guessing correctly is only one in four, so he is still thinking about finding out who it is, so that he can take victory into his own hands. But if he really guesses wrong, it can also ensure that the Yin Gui Dao wins this test, and he can also get the sect's reward."

"However, for Master Miao Dan, if she guessed wrong, Shushan would not have rewarded her for Kunlun's victory. This is why we cannot follow her example."

"In this match, the composition of the opposing team is too advantageous." Xu Yinglian sighed, "Unless we can somehow transfer the identity of the chosen one to the two demon sect monks on the opposite side, and prevent them from notifying the Demon Bone Master, the other side will definitely guess it, right?"

"That's probably hard to do," Qiu Changtian replied, "Because since the Demon Bone Master on the opposite side said so, I think he is sure that these two Demon Cult monks will not dare to disobey him. This can be called a perfect strategy to break the deadlock."

"Forget it." Xu Yinglian sighed and said, "Since Senior Brother can analyze the mind of this Demon Bone Master thoroughly, I think he already has a perfect plan, right?"

"I can't say I have a foolproof plan." Qiu Changtian smiled, "If the other party doesn't guess it, I can only be 99% sure at best."
