"The Shu people's navy and underground army are quite formidable, while their army and air force are relatively weaker, but they are not cowardly at all."
“We Mao clan know the Shu clan’s strength best. If these guys possess the Blood Burning Secret Technique and join the clan alliance, then there’s really no doubt that the Holy Domain will be ours,” Mimi murmured.
Underground army? Wang Yao thought of the twelve cities of the Yi tribe that had been completely destroyed and couldn't help but nod slightly. Indeed, in terms of casualties, the Zhanghuang tribe had caused more damage to the Yi tribe, but in terms of destructive power, the Shu tribe was much greater than the Zhanghuang tribe.
Upon thinking about this, he suddenly realized that his previous view of the Shu Clan was obviously too simplistic. Thinking about it, how could a race that could stand peacefully in such a chaotic realm as the Demon Realm be ordinary?
"So you plan to steal the Blood Burning Secret Technique?" Shadowless asked quietly.
“That’s right. After the Tribal Alliance delegation arrives, they will conduct a series of negotiations with the Shu tribe. The Blood Burning Secret Technique is one of the final bargaining chips. Only if the Shu tribe agrees to join the Tribal Alliance will this Blood Burning Secret Technique be brought out. So we have enough time to steal the manual first,” Mimi nodded.
"Since your Mao clan is the initiating clan of the tribal alliance, you should have representatives participating in this tribal alliance delegation. You could easily be the ones to steal from us, so why are you coming to us again?" Wang Yao asked, leaning back in his chair without a trace of expression.
"You said it yourself, if you're embezzling, how can you possibly hide it from a thousand eyes and ears?" Mimi chuckled.
"Our original idea for finding Wuying was that after the arrival of the tribal alliance delegation, our embassy would host a grand welcome banquet. We planned to leave the secret manual at the delegation's accommodation during the banquet, with a few members guarding it."
“If that’s the case, we’ll take the lead in using the banquet to distract the alliance delegation, while you ghosts steal the secret manual. That would be foolproof. However, there’s still one flaw in this method that we can’t solve.”
"That means if the delegation brings the secret manual with them to the banquet, it will be inconvenient for the Netherworld Ghosts to sneak into the banquet hall to steal the manual. They will have to wait for an opportunity to strike. However, now that you have been able to find the Liang Clan princess, this problem has been solved."
"It is perfectly justified for the Liang princess to attend the welcome banquet. Once we find out which member is hiding the secret manual, we will arrange an opportunity for her to steal it during the banquet."
“That guy Qing Ning was flirting with Qianmian before, and it was quite ambiguous. This time, let’s pin the blame for the theft of the secret technique on the Liang clan. We’ll just force both the Liang and Shu clans to rebel. Wouldn’t that kill two birds with one stone? What do you think?” Mimi looked at Wang Yao with bright eyes.
"Well..." Wang Yao frowned deeply. The amount of information contained in Mimi's words was too much for him to decide for the time being.
First, there's the Blood Burning Secret Technique. He couldn't figure out whether the Mao Clan wanted to steal the technique to oppose the tribal alliance, or whether they coveted it themselves, or whether they were simply afraid the technique would fall into the hands of the Shu Clan and came up with this scheme.
After all, who owns the Blood Burning Secret Technique if it's stolen? Mimi didn't say.
Secondly, could stealing the secret technique really trigger a war between the tribal alliance and the Shu tribe? This conclusion seems rather far-fetched, and given that the Liang tribe has already been identified as the scapegoat, it's even less likely. Therefore, the Mao tribe's purpose in proposing this plan is indeed quite intriguing.
Finally, it's unclear whether Qinghe is willing to actually steal it. With her intelligence, she could easily see through this blatant attempt to shift blame onto her own tribe.
“Understood. All we need is Princess Qinghe of the Liang tribe to take action, right?” Wang Yao was still pondering when Wuying spoke up in a relaxed tone.
"That's roughly it. But since the Old Man of the Moon has arrived, we should certainly ask him to make an appearance. On the day we host the Tribal Alliance delegation, it would be best if the Old Man of the Moon could meet with Qiao Bushi, the patriarch of the Shu tribe, and protest against the Shu tribe's reception of the Tribal Alliance delegation, pretending to take action."
“This will greatly attract a portion of the Shu clan’s security forces, creating a greater opportunity to steal the secret techniques,” Mimi said with a smile.
"Alright, let's leave it at that. It's getting late, and Qinghe is probably getting impatient waiting down there. We need to hurry down so she doesn't become suspicious." Wuying agreed, and her head floated up from the flower stand.
"So, you've agreed?" Mimi's eyes widened in surprise, and Wang Yao also looked at Wuying in astonishment. There were still many issues that hadn't been clarified, so why had Wuying agreed so quickly?
"Of course, as long as it causes some trouble for the tribal alliance, our arrest team will not refuse anything." Wuying laughed and then turned to Wang Yao. "Lord Yue Lao, we can discuss the specifics of how to meet the Shu clan chief later, so there's no need to waste time here."
Wang Yao sensed the hidden meaning in Wu Ying's words and stood up.
"Let me add something: you may distribute the stolen manuals as you see fit. Our Mao tribe doesn't want them. This is to show our Mao tribe's firm stance against the tribal alliance," Mimi hurriedly added as Wang Yao and his companion were about to leave.
"That would be best, Lord Matchmaker, let's go down." Wuying smiled and nodded.
"I'll see you off." Mihu hurriedly stood up and went to open the door. Wang Yao and Wuying followed him downstairs.
"Why does it take so long to meet?" Hearing the noise in the living room downstairs, Qinghe had already stood up from her seat. Seeing Wang Yao come downstairs, she couldn't help but complain to him.
