Chapter 243 The Blood Soul Holy Land's Plan
As it turns out, Lin Hanzhou's performance, which can be described as being possessed by an "Oscar-worthy actor," seems to have been a success.
The Su Muqing before him had begun to believe in his mysterious identity as a "high-ranking member of the Blood Soul Holy Land".
Those beautiful eyes, which were previously filled with fear and astonishment, now only showed the absolute awe of a subordinate for a superior.
Lin Hanzhou was very satisfied with this.
However, he knew that this was far from enough.
Trust is only being established at the initial stage.
He remained completely ignorant of the Blood Soul Holy Land's true intentions.
If Su Muqing were to ask him any question about the details of the "Holy Land Project," he would be instantly exposed.
In this situation, trust becomes especially important.
He must completely seize control of this dialogue.
He couldn't ask; he had to let the other person tell him.
The best way is to hit it.
Lin Hanzhou slowly stood up from the white jade futon.
With his hands behind his back, he walked slowly to Su Muqing, who was kneeling on the ground and didn't dare to lift her head, in a way that exuded a sense of oppression.
He looked down at her from his elevated position.
At this moment, his eyes were replaced by an indifference devoid of any emotion.
"Su Muqing".
He spoke slowly, his voice low and hoarse, as if it contained some kind of magic.
"Originally, I intended to come to you in person."
"I didn't expect you to come to me first."
Upon hearing this, Su Muqing's delicate body trembled violently.
"My...my lord...you...you knew about me all along..."
"snort."
Lin Hanzhou snorted disdainfully.
"I am very dissatisfied with your work performance!"
"You, a mere weak and useless quasi-holy son, have been given the Holy Land's protection for several whole months!"
"You couldn't even get it?!"
"Finally, they were so foolish as to almost expose themselves! They even forced me to activate this hidden device ahead of schedule and personally clean up this mess for you!"
His words were devoid of any emotion, like an icy spike from the depths of hell, piercing Su Muqing's heart and sending chills down her spine.
The delicate body that was about to slowly rise fell heavily back to its knees on the cold ground with a "plop".
"Please calm down, my lord! Please calm down, my lord!"
Su Muqing turned pale and kowtowed repeatedly, her voice filled with endless fear.
She felt wronged.
How can you blame her for being incompetent?!
She was merely an undercover agent with a sixth-level cultivation.
Despite being crowned with the halo of a "quasi-saint," seemingly enjoying boundless glory.
In reality, she walked on thin ice with every step she took in this sacred land of Taiyan.
The slightest misstep could lead to utter ruin.
Under these circumstances, how could she dare to make any big moves? She could only proceed slowly and cautiously.
Among the five potential holy sons, they chose Chen Shan, the "good guy" who was the weakest in terms of strength and background, as their target.
Originally, she intended to use her beauty to seduce Chen Shan and make him fall at her feet.
Then, naturally, we can take complete control of it.
But who could have imagined it?!
That damned Chen Shan is such a clueless blockhead.
You take the initiative to invite the other person to enjoy flowers under the moon, have a candlelit talk, and discuss the great Dao together...
But what I got in return was the other party's "righteous" expression:
"Junior sister, please have some self-respect!"
"Junior sister, we cultivators should prioritize cultivation and not indulge in romantic relationships!"
"Junior sister, it's getting late, farewell!"
It was for this reason that she was forced into a corner and had no choice but to choose the most time-consuming plan.
The maid Liu Qingqing, who was in control of the other party, poisoned the spirit tea.
But Su Muqing never expected things to develop like this.
……
She certainly couldn't bring herself to say these explanations to this adult's face.
Even if she said it, it would only be seen as an excuse for her incompetence.
Failure is failure!
In the Blood Soul Holy Land, where the law of the jungle prevails and the strong prey on the weak, all explanations are futile.
No one cares about how hard you went through it.
They only care about the final result.
"Your subordinate... Your subordinate admits guilt!"
Su Muqing dared not show the slightest grievance, and said in a trembling voice.
"Your subordinate has failed in your duties and nearly ruined your grand plan with the Holy Land! Please, Your Excellency, grant me another chance!"
"Your subordinate will gladly die a thousand deaths!"
Lin Hanzhou watched quietly as Su Muqing lay trembling at his feet, a slight smile playing on his lips.
He knew that his reprimand had had an effect.
The last vestige of any remaining probing intent on the other party's part was utterly shattered by his thunderous rage.
"Chance?"
Lin Hanzhou spoke in a deliberately deep and cold voice.
"You've wasted your best chance!"
"Now that I have taken over Chen Shan's body, my original plans have been completely disrupted by you!"
"Now tell me, what about the upcoming [Void Seed] Secret Realm...?"
"You piece of trash, how are you going to complete that mission?!"
His icy gaze, like two sharp swords, was fixed on Su Muqing.
In reality, Lin Hanzhou had no idea what the other party's mission was; he only had a rough guess.
He's just bluffing.
However, these words, which were full of questioning from a superior, sounded like a thunderclap to Su Muqing's ears.
Su Muqing's beautiful eyes, which were already filled with fear, were instantly replaced by endless shock.
She originally thought that the person in front of her was just like her, an undercover agent planted by the Holy Land in the "Taiyan Holy Land".
But to her utter surprise, the other party knew everything about the assassination mission that only the Holy Lord and she knew about!
She knew that the identity of the person in front of her was probably even more terrifying than she had imagined.
Lin Hanzhou was secretly overjoyed when he saw Su Muqing's shocked expression.
This time it seems like the bluff worked.
He remained outwardly calm, merely glancing at the other person coldly.
As if seeing through Su Muqing's thoughts, he spoke calmly.
"Foolish! Who do you think I am? Do you think I wouldn't know about your insignificant task?"
Realizing that her thoughts had been seen through, Su Muqing trembled and quickly lowered her head.
At this moment, her psychological defenses were completely broken down.
There was no longer any doubt about Lin Hanzhou's identity as a "high-ranking member of the Blood Soul Holy Land".
Afterwards, with Lin Hanzhou's subtle prompting, Su Muqing revealed her entire mission and plan.
Lin Hanzhou thus learned about the Blood Soul Holy Land's plan.
They wanted Su Muqing, the undercover agent, to kill Li Daoyi, the chief prospective holy son, in the secret realm where the battle for the holy son took place.
Li Daoyi seems to possess some kind of heaven-defying physique, which makes the Blood Soul Holy Land so wary of him.
Su Muqing definitely couldn't complete this task alone.
Therefore, she wanted to control Chen Shan, who would also enter the secret realm, so that he would make a sudden move in the open to attract attention, while she would seize the opportunity to assassinate him.
As for why they controlled Chen Shan instead of the other two stronger quasi-holy sons...
The reason is simple: those two people are very likely protected by high-level divine soul magic treasures, and both are at the eighth-order Tribulation Transcending Realm.
Even if Su Muqing were to bypass the divine soul artifact and manage to control one of them, she would still be discovered by an eighth-order Tribulation Transcending Realm cultivator.
At that time, she would definitely be dead.
