Chapter 38: The Xuanwu Sect Inheritance Law

"Not only did we find the emperor's whereabouts, but we also found this in that monster's room." Xiaoye took out a small booklet and placed it on the table.

The list above contained a string of names and the amounts of money donated. They only needed to check these names against the names of the empire's high-ranking officials to discover that a large number of prominent nobles and politicians were among them.

Furthermore, this donation booklet is like a family tree, recording everyone in the entire Datong Sect who has handled donations. Obviously, as long as you kill people on this list, you're guaranteed to be right.

"Hey, who invented this donation list thing? How can it be so useful?" Yilian even laughed out loud.

"Alright, let's start dividing into groups now. We'll split into two groups. One group will take the opportunity to assassinate the emperor and create chaos, while the other group will take the opportunity to infiltrate the headquarters of the Datong Cult and begin to eliminate the entire Datong Cult according to the list." Li Ge began to explain his complete plan.

Originally, he only planned to assassinate the emperor and wait to be matched with equally matched teammates to form a group. But now, after discovering that "unknown fate" was so incredibly powerful, he is prepared to not even let the Datong Cult go.

He originally thought this was just a simple kill threshold, and that it might only kill when the target was below 10%. However, he now discovered that this thing might be some kind of causal ability.

If you are injured by Li Ge or told that your life or death is unknown, then no matter what state the other party is in, even if they are still alive and kicking, they will die instantly.

This means that if the cutoff line is below 10%, then it is indeed dispensable, but what if the cutoff line is 37%? Or even 80%? Or even higher?

That is divine skill!

All I can say is that she truly has comedic talent.

"Alright, let's clarify the division of labor now. Although Yilian can replicate my abilities, we're completely different. I'm more inclined towards long-range sniping, while Yilian is more inclined towards infiltration and group combat. Therefore, since we both possess the ability 'Life or Death Unknown,' we should separate. I'll assassinate the Emperor, while Yilian will be responsible for infiltrating the Great Harmony Sect and completely purging the entire church," Li Ge said instantly, simultaneously taking out an account book.

"Don't worry about accidental killings. Even if you shoot 9 out of 10 of these people, it wouldn't be enough to cleanse their sins, even if you shot them 11 times out of 10."

"Yilian, what are the specific limitations and scope of your Noble Phantasm?" Li Ge continued to ask.

"Actually, there are many. The copied Noble Phantasm can only be stored for a maximum of 24 hours. After the Noble Phantasm is used, it can only be used for a maximum of 30 minutes. At the same time, a maximum of one Noble Phantasm can be copied every 24 hours." Yi Lian explained the limitations of her Noble Phantasm.

Although replication is a remarkable skill, it is ultimately just a "fake" and has many limitations.

For example, Yilian cannot replicate the Joker Mask, but can only replicate additional Lion's Eyes or those whose fate is unknown.

"But that's enough," Li Ge said.

"As for Xiaoye and Valerie..." Li Ge opened his mouth, paused, "Valerie, you must protect Yilian, and Xiaoye, let's go assassinate the emperor together."

Li Ge explained the group assignments and some of the details.

They will be divided into two groups, with Yilian and Valerie in one group, responsible for both covert infiltration and direct assault, to storm the headquarters of the Datong Cult. In particular, Yilian's ability to mimic the appearance of "Mother" makes it even more natural for her to bring Valerie along.

Li Ge and Xiao Ye will secretly approach the emperor during his tour and carry out this assassination that will shock the entire world.

"I have a question. Knowing that the Emperor has the Empire's top female bodyguard and a 12-person elite bodyguard team, do you still think you can easily assassinate the Emperor?" Xiao Ye asked, glancing at Li Ge. "Besides, what makes you think that other political factions will necessarily step in and kick him while he's down? How can you be sure that others will get involved?"

Li Ge smiled. In fact, he proposed this plan entirely based on his memories from his previous life and his recognition of something like the "Xuanwu Gate Inheritance Law".

In an empire where the crown prince must rely on the Xuanwu Gate succession law to ascend the throne, they had no choice but to fight; otherwise, they would die.

At the same time, Li Ge took out the Gospel and turned to the page that introduced the "Son of God".

The current Holy Son of the Great Harmony Sect is the First Prince of the Empire. In order to highlight the legitimacy of the First Prince, they naturally have made many statements to smear the Second Prince and the Third Princess.

This is normal, but it's enough for Li Ge to take a gamble.

They don't even need both of them to participate. As long as neither the Second Prince nor the Third Princess is an idiot, they won't lose out.

"As for your concern that our combat strength is insufficient..." Li Ge couldn't help but suppress a laugh when he heard "the Empire's Number One Female Bodyguard," but he managed to keep his expression straight and added,

"If even the top tier of us new students in the Noble Phantasm Department isn't strong enough, then what makes you think those in traditional and mystical disciplines can get high scores?"

Li Ge smiled and explained using the simplest reverse logic.

Xiaoye silently flipped through the chapters about the "Holy Son" in the Gospels, her fingertips pausing for a moment over a passage that slandered other members of the royal family.

"...I understand." She closed the book, looked at Li Ge, her eyes sharp as knives, "But the plan needs to be more detailed. The emperor's security is not just for show. I need to know the specific arrangements, and when you will fire."

……

Meanwhile, in the monthly exams for new students in both esoteric and traditional disciplines.

A new student in a mysterious discipline: Hehe, I must climb to the top step by step, I want to become the leader of the Great Harmony Cult! Then, he launches a holy war!

Traditional science freshman: Hehe, I must infiltrate the empire, become the next crown prince's top advisor, and then launch the Xuanwu Gate Coup!

……

Obviously, there is more than one way to solve a problem, but Li Ge is certain that they are using the most correct solution.

Because he had already seen the ending.

Xiaoye analyzed the situation for a moment, then fell silent and replied quietly, "Okay."

"Any other questions?" Li Ge asked as a final question.

"Um, I have..." Valerie raised her hand, "Are we really going to kill everyone at the Great Harmony Cult headquarters? Wouldn't that be too cruel?"

Valerie looked at everyone with a clear, foolish expression.

For a moment, the hall fell silent.

"Valerie!" Xiaoye's voice suddenly rang out, "If you think this is cruel, then it just means you've been too well protected. The Datong Church's incense and holy water both contain addictive hallucinogens. Even if they were cut up, sliced, and chopped into pieces a thousand times, it still wouldn't be enough!"

Valerie immediately shrank back; it was the first time she had ever seen Yoru so angry.

"I agree." Li Ge's expression was very cold. "Valerie, what do you think would have happened to our original family of four if we hadn't come into this family?"
