Chapter 80:1 Predicted Your Prediction

As Chen De shouted the order to form the formation, the 30 Blood Warrior Monks immediately took action.
A large amount of blood qi emerged from the bodies of these Blood Warrior Monks.
The blood qi continuously interweaved and finally condensed together, transforming into a huge crimson-red deity.
It was the divine ability, Jile Buddha Descent!
Facing this frightening crimson-red deity, Mu Qiqi was not afraid at all. Instead, she was pumped to fight.
“The Fallen Buddha of the Huanxi Sect, I didn’t expect you guys to even know this.”
She called out, “Senior Brother Bai, Junior Brother Lu, let’s attack together. I can’t deal with this guy alone.”
…..
“Alright!”
Bai Dafei and Lu Yuan didn’t object to her order.
In this situation, the person with the highest cultivation naturally had the authority to give orders.
The crimson-red deity, which was cast by 30 Innate Stage martial artists at the expense of their vitality, had cultivation that was close to the Core Formation Stage. It probably had the strength of a Pseudo Core cultivator.
Mu Qiqi was indeed incapable of dealing with it alone.
While Lu Yuan and the other two were fighting the crimson-red deity, Chen De saw that the situation was unfavorable to him and immediately ran towards the secret passage behind him.
As for Eunuch Zhao, he was naturally by Chen De’s side.
Chen De ran while he planned his next steps.
Now that his plan had been exposed, it was undoubtedly foolish of him to dream of continuing carrying out his reincarnation plan steadily.
However, although the situation was bad, it was not unsalvageable.
At least for now, he had already retrieved the Jile Buddha Child statue and the Goddess Xu Wan’er. He had prepared all the things needed for the reincarnation ritual.
As long as he completed his reincarnation, he would be able to use the method of substitution to successfully avoid this crisis.
As for the concern of being hunted down by the Qingyun Sect, Chen De did not care.
At most, he would escape to the territory of the devils and join the Huanxi Sect.
After all, to Chen De, immortality was what he pursued. Everything else was not important.
Once he considered all this, he decided to play all his trump cards.
At this point, the only way he could overcome his predicament was by successfully using the reincarnation technique.
However, using the reincarnation technique required time!
Lu Yuan and the other two celestial sect disciples were a threat. The Qingyun Sect outside the Imperial capital was also a threat!
The later the Qingyun Sect found out about his wrongdoings, the more advantageous it was for him.
Following the secret passage, Chen De and Zhao Youwei soon arrived at an underground space.
This underground space was astonishingly huge. It covered almost half of the underground space of the imperial palace.
It was apparent how much effort Chen De had put into creating this underground space.
In the center of this underground space stood a huge golden Buddha statue.
This Buddha statue was the main statue of the Huanxi Jile.
The Buddha statue that had been placed in the secret chamber of his Royal Study was just a clone statue that was connected to the underground Buddha.
The statue of the Huanxi Jile was half-lying on a withered lotus flower with a strange smile on its face.
Beneath the lotus flower, there were a large number of blood-colored patterns.
Upon closer inspection, one would realize that these blood-colored patterns were not randomly arranged. Instead, they vaguely formed a special array.
This array was the key to Chen De’s reincarnation and re-cultivation. It was the Reincarnation Array.
There were actually many strict conditions to set up this Reincarnation Array.
First of all, a large amount of fresh blood from living people was needed as material.
Secondly, the location of the array was also very particular. It had to be on a Dragon Vein that was filled with luck.
This was because a reincarnated devil like the Jile Buddha Child was an existence that the heavens would not tolerate.
When it was born, it would definitely attract heavenly retribution.
Without the protection of great luck, even if the Jile Buddha Child was lucky enough to be born, it would still be killed by the heavenly lightning in the end.
Therefore, although the effects of the reincarnation technique were rewarding, it was not easy for anyone to actually reincarnate and cultivate again.
If anything was to go wrong, it would lead to death.
After Chen De and Zhao Youwei escaped to the underground space, Zhao Youwei hurriedly asked, “Your Majesty, what should we do now?”
The current Zhao Youwei was no longer as arrogant as he was when he faced Lu Yuan.
Fear was written all over his face.
He had thought that the ambush of 30 Blood Warrior Monks would be enough for them to get rid of Lu Yuan without anyone noticing.
They had taken action in advance because they were worried that Lu Yuan would find out about their cooperation with the Huanxi Sect after he returned to the Devil Slayers Division and found out that Xu Wan’er was missing.
Once Lu Yuan confirmed that they were colluding with the Huanxi Sect and reported it to the Qingyun Sect, a large number of Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Qingyun Sect would arrive within a day given the short distance between the Qingyun Sect and the Imperial capital.
When that happened, no matter what preparations they made, they would have no chance of winning against a behemoth like the Qingyun Sect.
It was precisely because of this that Chen De decided to act early and not give Lu Yuan a chance to report back to the sect.
Chen De taking such a big risk was definitely directly related to Lu Yuan.
Originally, Chen De had thought that when Lu Yuan left the Devil Slayers Division, he would have the opportunity to kidnap Xu Wan’er.
However, he did not expect that Lu Yuan was comparable to a tortoise.
After arriving in the Imperial capital, he had never left the Devil Slayers Division for three years.
Was this something that a human could do?
Was Lu Yuan’s goal of cultivation to become a tortoise instead of a celestial?
Did he plan to become a tortoise hermit?
Lu Yuan’s silent hermit technique perfectly hit Chen De’s Achilles heel.
Lu Yuan had good talent, high cultivation, and a long lifespan. He could naturally afford to waste his time.
However, Chen De’s talent was poor, his cultivation was lacking, and his lifespan was about to be exhausted. Naturally, he could not afford to waste it.
If he had a choice, Chen De would never choose to attack a Qingyun Sect direct disciple.
Once he made a move on Lu Yuan, not only would he have to face the Qingyun Sect’s wrath, but even the Great Xia’s imperial family would sever all ties with him and spare no effort to hunt him down.
Chen De was already staking everything on the line so that he could successfully reincarnate.
He initially thought that he had seized a good opportunity to catch Lu Yuan off guard.
Before the Qingyun Sect could react, he would have completed his reincarnation and cultivated in advance, creating a perfect time difference.
In the end, Lu Yuan actually ruined everything.
Usually, the other directors of the Devil Slayers Division would first find evidence, then arrest the suspect. They would only seek external help if the situation became difficult.
However, Lu Yuan had no evidence yet. He skipped the previous steps and jumped straight to asking for external help.
This was only the first time Chen De had invited Lu Yuan over to his palace.
Yet, Lu Yuan actually called two Qingyun Sect Foundation Establishment disciples over in advance.
From the looks of it, these two Qingyun Sect disciples must have arrived long ago.
It was impossible for their appearance today to be a coincidence.
This meant that Lu Yuan had been on guard against him a long time ago.
Chen De initially thought that he was witty for breaking the routine and taking the initiative to act first so that he could catch Lu Yuan off guard.
To his dismay, Lu Yuan actually predicted his act of desperation and directly sought outside help.
So, Lu Yuan predicted his prediction.
…..
“Your Majesty?”
Just as Chen De was still thinking of countermeasures, Eunuch Zhao’s voice pulled him back to reality.
Seeing Chen De come back to his senses, Eunuch Zhao hurriedly asked, “Your Majesty, what should we do now?”
Chen De looked at Eunuch Zhao, and his gaze gradually became profound.
He did not answer Eunuch Zhao’s question directly. Instead, he said in a deep voice, “Eunuch Zhao, how do you think I treated you?”
Upon hearing this, Zhao Youwei, who was over 50 years old, naturally understood the meaning of these words. His expression immediately became terrified.
However, before he could do anything, a huge black shadow instantly enveloped his body.
Zhao Youwei raised his head with difficulty and saw that the huge Huanxi Jile, who was originally motionless, had lowered its head to look at him as it revealed a terrifying and strange smile.
The huge black shadow was cast by Huanxi Jile lowering its head.
“Ah!”
Not long after, screams and terrifying chewing sounds came from the underground space.
As he watched Zhao Youwei being swallowed by Huanxi Jile, Chen De muttered to himself, “Eunuch Zhao, since things have come to this, you should do one more thing for me.”
“At least not now, the situation here must not be discovered by the Qingyun
Sect. I need to drag this out as long as I can…”
Outside the Imperial capital, a huge crimson barrier had actually risen from the city walls. It completely enveloped the capital and isolated it from the outside world-
