Chapter 1826: Xiao Zheng’s Deduction

"Investigate the Heavenly Evil Demon Sect closely?"

"Do you think that this infighting within the Demon Sect is actually orchestrated by the Heavenly Evil Demon Sect from behind the scenes?"

Long Qie glanced at Xiao Zheng and frowned as he asked.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng nodded and said, "The Heavenly Evil Demon Sect is one of the nine major sects of the Demon path and also the most powerful among the Demon forces. The infighting within the Demon Alliance definitely has something to do with the Heavenly Evil Demon Sect."

"Moreover, I think this matter isn’t as simple as it appears on the surface. I think the Demon Alliance, or rather the Heavenly Evil Demon Sect, is probably planning an even bigger conspiracy behind the scenes."

If he had just a hint of suspicion towards the Heavenly Evil Demon Sect before, now he was almost certain it was the mastermind behind the scenes.

Long Qie remained skeptical about Xiao Zheng’s certainty: "I have a different judgment from yours. On the contrary, I think the Heavenly Evil Demon Sect should have nothing to do with this infighting incident."

"Because the Heavenly Evil Demon Sect is the biggest beneficiary after the creation of the Demon Alliance, it has no reason to orchestrate an infighting drama. If the Demon Alliance splits, it would only be harmful and not beneficial to the Heavenly Evil Demon Sect."

"But what if the Heavenly Evil Demon Sect wants to unify the Demon path?" Xiao Zheng’s eyes glinted as he asked slowly.

Upon hearing this, Long Qie shook with surprise, "Is that possible?"

"Why not? If I were the Sect Master of the Heavenly Evil Demon Sect, I would definitely do this." Xiao Zheng sneered, "People have ambitions, just like water flows downwards, people aspire upwards; that’s an ancient truth."

Upon hearing his words, Long Qie fell into silence.

He had to admit, Xiao Zheng’s analysis was indeed very reasonable.

The creation of the Demon Alliance indeed greatly boosted the strength of the Heavenly Evil Demon Sect. However, compared to becoming the sovereign of the Demon path, a mere Demon Alliance doesn’t count for much.

After all, the nominal ruler of the Demon Alliance includes the nine major Demon sects, the Heavenly Evil Demon Sect among them. Although the Heavenly Evil Demon Sect is formidable, it’s just one of these nine sects.

However, if the Heavenly Evil Demon Sect were to unify the Demon path, it would be a different story. By then, the entire Demon path would be dominated by the Heavenly Evil Demon Sect, commanding all under heaven to obey!

The thought of such a possibility made Long Qie couldn’t help but marvel, "I never expected the Sect Master of the Heavenly Evil Demon Sect to have such audacity. To toy with all the Demon sects in his palm, he indeed is a talent."

"However, speaking of it, these are just our speculations."

"Mr. Xiao, are you really confident in determining that the Heavenly Evil Demon Sect is the true culprit behind orchestrating this infighting incident?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng laughed and said, "Validating whether my guess is correct is not difficult. You just need to pay more attention to the casualties within the Demon Alliance’s infighting to judge."

"I can guarantee that in this infighting incident, the Heavenly Evil Demon Sect is definitely the sect with the least casualties among all the Demon sects!"

After hearing his words, Long Qie’s eyes brightened, then hurriedly walked to the desk.

He rummaged through the desk and finally found a document.

Long Qie opened the document and carefully read through its contents.

When he put the document down, he looked at Xiao Zheng with admiration, "Mr. Xiao, it’s just as you speculated. I just glanced at the death list, and there are only two people from the Heavenly Evil Demon Sect."

"This seems to solidify the suspicion around the Heavenly Evil Demon Sect."

"Indeed, the suspicion of the Heavenly Evil Demon Sect is indeed the highest." Xiao Zheng wasn’t surprised by what he said, "You can send more people to investigate and monitor the actions of the Heavenly Evil Demon Sect. If necessary, you can also try to bribe their people."

"But remember one thing in advance, do not alert the enemy."

"Since the Heavenly Evil Demon Sect wants to put on a good show, let’s just be the audience. We will act when the Demon Alliance and Heavenly Evil Demon Sect have both suffered heavy losses."

Long Qie nodded and said: "Please rest assured, Mr. Xiao, I will personally oversee this matter."

"Well, I have confidence in your ability to handle things." Xiao Zheng smiled, then suddenly thought of something and asked, "By the way, after the battle with the Great Sound Buddha Sect last time, your realm seemed to be hitting the critical point of advancing to the mid-level Martial Saint, right?"

"Yes, I have a premonition that I should be able to break through soon." Long Qie laughed, "I estimate I can successfully break through to the middle-stage Martial Saint at most within half a year!"

When it came to the breakthrough matter, he appeared somewhat excited.

Xiao Zheng glanced at him, then asked with a half-smile, "What if I have the means to help you break through within this year? Are you willing to be my guinea pig?"

"What? Is that possible?" Long Qie was initially startled, then asked skeptically, "Mr. Xiao, you aren’t joking with me, are you? Breakthroughs are about fate, how can it be possible to break through just by saying so?"

"Stop saying nonsense, just tell me directly, do you dare to trust me for once?" Xiao Zheng asked with a smile.

Seeing his confidence-filled tone, Long Qie’s momentum weakened: "You, you really can help me break through to the middle-stage Martial Saint? What if it fails, will there be any side effects?"

"I guarantee there are no side effects. I’ve already experimented on myself." Xiao Zheng said, patting his chest.

Upon hearing this, Long Qie finally made up his mind and gritted his teeth, "Mad! I trust you! I’m willing to be your guinea pig!"

"Haha, you should’ve been straightforward earlier; no need to waste so much talking." Xiao Zheng laughed, "Don’t be nervous, I guarantee the whole process will be entirely painless."

After speaking, he took down the Ancestor Statue hanging around his neck.

Even as Xiao Zheng’s strength increased, he didn’t forget the brother who had gone through thick and thin with him for so many years. The soul power in the Ancestor Statue could help improve one’s cultivation, so he decided to use it on Long Qie.

Soon, he forcefully cracked opened a fissure in the Ancestor Statue.

The black soul power floated out and, under Xiao Zheng’s deliberate control, slowly merged into Long Qie’s body. Throughout the process, Long Qie’s heart was extremely shocked.

As for the soul power merging into his body, he felt the energy within him boiling completely.

As if breaking some kind of confinement!

Long Qie let out a long howl and actually broke through!
