Shennong Dao Master-Chapter 1548 - 3: The Death of He Yin Marquis, Zhao Xing’s Gains!_2

"I also have many things I don't understand," Elder Ma Yan said, "Why would someone hide our plan within a joke."

"This is a deck of unshuffled cards, someone has already played half the game before sending it over."

"He seems to know our secret; I suspect he may even know more than I do."

"The power of the sacred artifact seems to be ineffective for him, a hidden chess game has appeared with an enigmatic observer, which must be related to that mistake from an epoch ago and even bigger than we imagined."

"Qingyu Card, I see… Qing Yu Zi is very likely a seasoned Reincarnator, possibly even…"

"Now the Elder Council needs to correct the plan…" Elder Ma murmured to himself, seemingly filled with confusion.

"But first, you need to make a sacrifice."

He Yin Marquis was in disbelief.

An enigmatic observer? Was it referring to Zhao Xing? Or Qing Yu Zi? But wasn't Qing Yu Zi dead?

Elder Ma's mutterings plunged He Yin Marquis into immense shock, his thoughts were in extreme chaos, completely unable to understand what was happening.

After all, he, a Tao Domain Realm, was just a link within the vast Ancient Clan, unaware of the entire situation.

His Tao Domain Realm breakthrough was possible only due to a 'dedication' from a Preaching Scholar.

However, he soon accepted his fate.

Because Elder Ma had made arrangements for him, which were exactly what Zhao Xing had previously mentioned:

"Before you die, contact the Shadow Temple and retract the assassination assignment against Him."

"Yes." He Yin Marquis nodded respectfully, for him, death was not terrifying; as long as the Ancient Clan could regain glory, there was a chance he could be revived in the future.

It all started with him; the mistake 1,200,000 years ago (one epoch), led to many variables arising, so now he must remedy it.

After his conversation with Elder Ma, He Yin Marquis contacted the Shadow Temple immediately to cancel the task concerning Zhao Xing.

Afterward, he cleared everything on the Zhi Luo Realm Star, including that pyramid.

He Yin Marquis chose a common cause of death—failing to break through and becoming possessed.

To minimize the impact of Cause and Effect, He Yin Marquis first drove away all representatives of major forces on the Boundary Star under the pretense of seclusion.

Heavenly Star Martial Arts Hall, Yuanhai Palace, Taiyue Chamber of Commerce and so on.

Once everyone had left, He Yin Marquis killed all the inhabitants of Zhi Luo Realm Star, including his capable subordinates.

"Boom!"

A massive explosion occurred on Zhi Luo Realm Star, the entire Small World perished in the explosion.

This Tao Domain Realm who had come to the Yuanhai Ancient Country a whole epoch ago died so straightforwardly.

...

Yuanhai Ancient Country, Purple Moon Star System.

"What? He Yin Marquis is dead?"

The Purple Moon Mansion Master received a message just as he disembarked from the Lower Realm Boat.

"Yes, Martial Uncle." Mu Luo nodded and said, "He became possessed and self-destructed, killing all his subordinates and subjects before he died, something only possession could cause."

"I just found some clues and was about to take action, but he's already dead?" The Purple Moon Mansion Master snorted coldly, "How convenient his death is."

The Purple Moon Mansion Master had spent a millennium investigating He Yin Marquis and the forces behind him.

Though suspecting He Yin Marquis of being a member of the East Extending Ancient Clan, he had no proof and couldn't arbitrarily kill a Domain Realm Marquis enrolled by the Ancient Country.

Members of the East Extending Ancient Clan resided in various Ancient Countries, until clarifying the strength and affiliation of the force behind He Yin Marquis, he certainly wouldn't take action.

After a millennium of work, the Purple Moon Mansion Master confirmed that He Yin Marquis was merely a small figure with no significant backing. He was ready to take action but unexpectedly, He Yin Marquis became possessed and died!

He couldn't have imagined that this could be related to Zhao Xing, for in the eyes of the Purple Moon Mansion Master, Zhao Xing was merely an innocent victim tangled into the mess.

"Su Qin." The Purple Moon Mansion Master said coldly, "Go investigate whether He Yin Marquis has any remaining relatives."

"Find them, kill them all!"

The Purple Moon Mansion Master's hatred for He Yin Marquis was intense; although He Yin Marquis was dead, his hatred hadn't been vented.

"Yes, Martial Uncle." Su Qin nodded, with He Yin Marquis, a Domain Realm, dead, his backers gone; if He Yin Marquis had any family, handling them would be easy.

...

Yuanhai Ancient Country, Northern region.

The leader of the Starfire Team, 'Ren Feng,' was sitting cross-legged within an Earth Palace on a Life Planet. He was a Tao Domain Realm and the one responsible for assisting members who needed connections within the Empire.

Ren Feng was at the Yin Yang Dao Domain Realm, and before him were many Red Star Disks, fixed Red Star Disks connected to star systems of the Yuanhai Ancient Country like a net.

Suddenly, a delicate Star Disc in front of him moved, forcibly cutting in line, advancing to a leading position, with beams of light swiftly condensing into a phantom.

"Bai Yang, what is it."

"Boss," Bai Yang spoke, "A few days ago, as you instructed, I allowed a Royal Family member to use Starfire's communication channel. He contacted a Tao Domain Realm of the Yuanhai Ancient Country, and shortly after, this Tao Domain Realm died."

"An unnatural death?" Ren Feng frowned.

"The Yuanhai Ancient Country officially ruled it as becoming possessed and self-destruction," Bai Yang said, "But He Yin Marquis had a bit of a dirty background; it could be tangled with something."

"I understand." Ren Feng nodded. "You don't need to interfere further."

"Yes." Bai Yang nodded and disappeared.

Ren Feng then pinched his fingers and proactively contacted Jing Yan.
