After listening to Immortal King Yiqing, Jian thought for a moment, and a guess began to take shape. Immortal Lord Qingji had told her earlier that Immortal King Yueluan had been keeping a low profile for the past century, doing nothing out of the ordinary. Jian had suspected she was brewing something big, but she never imagined the target would be the war zone. On second thought, Yueluan’s desperation was understandable; Jian had destroyed that teleportation gate, severing Yueluan’s connection to the Zerg in the war zone. Meanwhile, the Zerg lurking within the Immortal Realm had been systematically wiped out by Jian’s tireless efforts. Deprived of her network and resources, Yueluan had become increasingly passive.
Moreover, Jian had discovered high-level immortals monitoring her, which made Yueluan even more cautious. After all, despite her status as an Immortal King, there were still Immortal Emperors above her. If she were to provoke an Immortal Emperor, she would be walking a path to certain death. That was why she had shifted her focus to the war zone.
By manipulating Immortal King Junli of the Immortal Emperor’s Mansion, she could infiltrate her own kin into the fray. Even if things went south, suspicion would never fall on her; after all, she and Junli had been at odds and had maintained separate residences for a century. Besides, who would suspect a female immortal supposedly consumed by love of having such capabilities?
