CHAPTER 720: 167, MAY THE HUMAN CLAN LAST FOREVER

Words can melt gold and crumble bones to dust.

Endless curses surged like a tsunami, but the malevolent spirit of the Seventh Princess slowly curled her lips into a smile.

Her beauty was exceptional, her aura starkly different from that of the Seventh Princess; her mocking, chilling laugh was particularly enticing and wickedly charming.

"Indeed..."

She let the infinite curses echo in her mind, giggling, "Such foolish members of the Human Clan, it indeed would have been better if the Demon Clan had destroyed them."

The cursing momentarily subsided.

Countless people across the world were taken aback at that moment, and then even more tumultuous curses erupted once again.

Yet, she remained unmoved, continuing to mock, "What’s this about ignorant innocence? Ignorance itself is a sin! You believe whoever leads you, feeling satisfied judging us from on high, don’t you? When the Divine Emperor saved the Human Clan, you executed his descendants, hahaha... How amusing, how interesting indeed..."

"Oh Seventeenth Brother, you stopped me too soon. I really wanted to keep killing..."

It was as if she were responding to the whole world, or perhaps just speaking to herself.

"Simpletons, merely losing less than a thousand years of life – why am I the only Prince or Princess facing death? Has anyone considered this question?"

Her lips were full of irony as she said, "The answer is simple... I am not the Seventh Princess who lived for you foolish mortals, I am just someone who was wished by others to take the fall. I wish to slaughter all you ignorant mortals to oblivion, it’s just a pity..."

In this true dream, only the truth is spoken, which instantly drove countless people around the world to even greater rage, their curses intensifying.

"Still so arrogant at death’s door? You’re not the Seventh Princess?"

The Divine Dream Envoy furrowed his brow at the evil spirit of the Seventh Princess; he had long since realized that although she bore the same appearance and even the life force of the Seventh Princess, she definitely wasn’t the same person.

However, he knew the real Seventh Princess was free of sins, her merit overwhelmingly great, leaving him with no grounds to bring her to judgement.

And the Seventh Princess before him had a completely different aura and Divine Soul – clearly a soul that had been recently split.

Evidently, someone had foreseen the Demon Clan’s actions and had helped the Seventh Princess avoid this calamity.

To avoid any loopholes, he was also unaware of the situation on the Demon Clan’s side.

Could it be that someone had caught on to the Demon Clan’s plan?

Doubt rose in his heart, and he asked in a low voice, "Are you taking the fall for the Seventh Princess? Who would have thought such base tactics could be exploited; is this again the handiwork of the Xiahong family?"

He was probing, but even if the Seventh Princess did not wish to respond, he could still use the opportunity to tarnish the Xiahong family’s name and weaken the Imperial Family’s prestige.

"The Xiahong family?"

The Seventh Princess laughed loudly, "I would also like to say it was the Xiahong family, but alas... This method comes from the supreme being of Buddhism, which I’ve only just learned. Yes, the very person all of you in the world have long revered, hahahaha... Disappointed?"

Even mere mortals knew of whom she spoke.

Buddha Ancestor.

Could he take this chance to strike at Buddhism as well? The Divine Dream Envoy felt a surprise joy, but on the surface, he coldly said, "What joke is this, are you talking about the Buddha Ancestor?"

"Of course it’s him, who else can it be?"

The Seventh Princess laughed mockingly, "I know what you’re thinking, and it happens to be exactly my thought."

The Divine Dream Envoy fell silent.

Although he had not conspired with the Demon Clan, he knew their objective, so when he acquired the ancient heart containing true dreams, he deduced what the Demon Clan aimed to do.

Thus, he worked tirelessly to weaken the fortune of the Great Yong Kingdom, providing the Demon Clan and the Star Lord with an opportunity to breach the Great Yong Divine Formation.

Sometimes, just having aligned goals and understanding each other’s thoughts could create sufficient tacit understanding.

"Hahahaha..."

Amidst laughter, the already weakened evil spirit of the Seventh Princess instantly dissipated.

"This good and evil mental method, was it taught to Qiuhe by the Buddha Ancestor?"

Lin Yue frowned slightly.

When the Fourth Prince had spoken of this cultivation method, he thought it was he who taught it to her since the Fourth Prince had a good relationship with the Seventh Princess.

But to think it was the Buddha Ancestor?

Now pondering, he always felt something was amiss.

Normally, there was no reason for the Seventh Princess to need such a method; she was focused on farming, not involved in political strife, nor was she a target of the Demon Clan.

But right during the time the Seventh Princess’s will was integrated by the former lord, she happened to learn this method and saved her life?

It was as if someone knew what was to happen and deliberately passed it onto her.

He initially thought it was the Fourth Prince, but was it now the Buddha Ancestor?

"No, that’s not right..."

Lin Yue suddenly frowned deeper, "Qiuhe’s evil spirit mentioned ’coming from’? She didn’t directly answer – could it be... she’s intentionally misleading?"

From the evil spirit’s perspective, born of destruction and darkness and cursed by countless people, she naturally harbored thoughts of annihilating the Human Clan.

Deliberate misdirection at this point would shake the world’s faith in the Buddha Ancestor, certainly affecting the hearts of the people.

"However, it is also possible that it truly was the Buddha Ancestor; I’ve heard that in her past life, Qiuhe also followed the Buddha Ancestor..."

A thought flashed through Lin Yue’s mind, "Whether it’s the Fourth Prince or the Buddha Ancestor, if they foresaw the Demon Clan’s plan, they could be conspiring with the Demon Clan... If it’s the Fourth Prince, then he is allying with that Prince from the Demon Clan..."

With more knowledge at his disposal, his perspective on the issue differed; he quickly surmised all the possibilities.

"Ask Qiuhe?"

Lin Yue hesitated.

The current state of the Seventh Princess was very poor, and he dared not let her know these things; otherwise, who knew what might happen.
