He wasn't just making random guesses.
There was evidence behind it.
He knew that Heavenly Dragon True Emperor heard that someone from the Void Grotto found a Desolate Origin Pearl in a Desolate Ruin. That's why he wanted to kill Elder Tong Bei in order to steal the pearl.
According to his knowledge, the other elders from the Void Grotto did indeed find a Desolate Origin Pearl in a Desolate Ruin before the nine palaces came out.
Pay attention!
Find it, not snatch it.
Finding and stealing were two completely different concepts.
Finding meant that there were no outsiders present at the time. Otherwise, it wouldn't be finding, it would be stealing.
Since there were no outsiders present, how did the news of an elder from the Void Grotto finding a Desolate Origin Pearl get out? Why didn't anyone else hear about it except for Heavenly Dragon True Emperor? Coincidentally enough, he ran into Elder Tong Bei who was separated from his senior brothers in the Kan Palace.
This was very suspicious.
He speculated that the mastermind purposely leaked this information to Heavenly Dragon True Emperor so that he would kill Elder Tong Bei from Void Grotto in order to get the pearl.
It was only a matter of time before Devil Emperor Xue He found out about Elder Tongbei's misfortune. Devil Emperor Xue He had always felt extremely guilty towards Great Void Cave as he had succumbed to Devil Emperor Xue He. When he found out about Elder Tongbei's misfortune, no matter where he was, he would rush over as soon as possible.
Given Xue River's personality, he definitely wouldn't spare Heavenly Dragon True Emperor.
Heavenly Dragon True Emperor and Martial Monarch were Yin and Yang. They lived and died together. If Heavenly Dragon True Emperor wasn't a match for Devil King Xue River, he would definitely attract the attention of the Martial Monarch. As long as the Martial Monarch showed up, the old geezers from Profound Paradise would also show up.
Thinking about it from start to finish, it felt like a meticulously planned scheme.
If Heavenly Dragon True Emperor wasn't here to kill Elder Tong Bei, no one else would have the guts to attack someone from the Void Grotto, not even the Martial Monarch.
This was because everyone knew about the relationship between the Devil King Blood River and the Great Void Grotto. They also knew that killing an elder of the Great Void Grotto would anger the Devil King Blood River, and the price of angering the Devil King Blood River was extremely terrifying. Even the thirty-six grotto-heavens and seventy-two blessed lands might not be able to bear it.
No one wanted to provoke a powerful overlord like Devil King Xue River especially at a critical moment like the Nine Palaces.
Coincidentally, Heavenly Dragon True Emperor was the one who wanted to kill Xue River.
This person was naturally arrogant and domineering. He did not put anyone in his eyes. He was the only one who dared to kill the Great Void Cave. He was also the only one who did not put the Devil Emperor Xue He in his eyes.
Similarly, if Heavenly Dragon True Emperor wanted to kill an elder from another grotto instead of Void Grotto, that grotto wouldn't dare to say anything. Even if they had experts capable of suppressing Heavenly Dragon True Emperor and killing the Martial Monarch, they wouldn't dare to burn their divine intents like Devil King Xue River did, openly provoking Profound Paradise.
After all, Profound Paradise was the leader of the thirty-six grotto-heavens with many experts. Even Grand Sun King was wary of them, let alone the other overlords.
For example, Heavenly Dragon True Emperor didn't just kill an elder from Void Grotto, he also killed many Buddhas from the Western Buddhist World. Even Rudra's Red-faced Vajra died to his hands. Cleanclothed Bodhisattva and Nine Abstinence Dharmaraja were heavily injured as well.
Alas, Rulai only suppressed Heavenly Dragon True Emperor and didn't kill him or burn their divine intents.
This was because Rulai was more or less wary of the legendary Profound Nine Immortals, Immortal Venerable Arcane, Immortal Venerable Arcane, and Immortal Venerable Profound from the Primordial Era.
However …
In his opinion, this wasn't the most important thing. There were two possibilities for why Rulai didn't kill the two emperors.
First of all, Mysterious Rulai had already seen through this scheme. If they were to fight Mysterious Paradise, they would fall into their trap and be used by others.
Secondly, perhaps this whole situation was planned by Mysterious Rulai in the first place. He wanted Demon Emperor Blood River and Mysterious Paradise to start a war so that he could sit back and reap the benefits.
Based on Mad Monk Daxing's understanding of Miao Rulai, he felt that Miao Rulai was absolutely capable of doing something like this.
Other than Wonderful Rulai, there was also Great Sun Glorious Emperor. They were all experts in setting up and were most proficient in this dao.
He wanted to warn Blood River that he had fallen into someone else's trap.
Alas, he didn't say it out loud.
It wasn't that he didn't want to or couldn't do it. It was just that he felt that it was meaningless.
If Rulai knew that this was someone else's plan, he wouldn't jump into it.
Grand Sun King wouldn't either.
The elders of Profound Paradise wouldn't either.
Because of this, they could only watch from the shadows as the two emperors' divine intents were burned by Blood River's strange flame. They didn't dare to show up.
Once they did, they would fall into someone else's trap. The consequences would be unimaginable.
In the end, they had no choice but to find Mad Monk Grand Sun and hope that he could persuade Blood River to break this stalemate.
He owed Profound Paradise a big favor so he had no choice but to show up.
However …
Showing up was showing up.
Persuasion was persuasion.
He didn't have any hope.
He knew Blood River very well.
He knew that Blood River didn't care if this was a trap or not. He only knew that Heavenly Dragon True Emperor had injured the elders of Void Grotto. Behind Heavenly Dragon True Emperor was Profound Paradise. He wanted justice for Void Grotto and Profound Paradise.
As for the schemes and schemes, he didn't care and didn't care at all.
What was a devil?
This was a devil.
He would only do what he wanted to do. As for whether it was dangerous or not and what consequences it would cause, he would not consider it at all.
To him, he would never ask how powerful or terrifying his enemies were, what their identities and backgrounds were, what their cultivation levels were, or what their fortunes were. He would not even ask about how many enemies they had. He would not even ask about them.
He only wanted to know who the enemy was. That was enough.
This was the Devil Emperor Blood River who had turned into a devil with a single thought.
The person behind the scenes must have understood Devil Emperor Xue He's straightforward and extreme character. Even if he saw through the conspiracy, he would still go to war with Mysterious Paradise without hesitation.
