Hearing Qin Xiao's words, Lang Jinghong shook his head.
"If you want concrete evidence, I'm afraid it won't work."
Won't work?
Why wouldn't it work?
No matter how flawless Prince Xijian's plan was, he should have given himself away somewhere, right? He should have been able to find evidence, right?
Lang Jinghong nodded. "Yes, it won't work."
"First of all, Prince Xijian is very careful and never reveals himself easily."
"Second of all, his overall plan is more or less complete. There's a good mechanism in operation, so there's no need for him to reveal his strength."
"Third of all, and most importantly, Prince Xijian isn't a soul eater."
What?
Hearing the last sentence, Qin Xiao and Brother Pure were both stunned. They looked at Lang Jinghong in surprise.
What did he mean?
Prince Xijian wasn't a soul eater?
Wasn't he the source? How could he not be a soul eater?
Lang Jinghong explained, "According to our previous definition, Prince Xijian isn't a soul eater."
"But the source is indeed Prince Xijian. It's just that he isn't a soul eater."
"This strange devouring power is actually a type of poison, a type of poison."
"A soul eater's soul consciousness can control a person."
"But it's not a power that the soul eater possesses. So Prince Xijian doesn't have this power. He just has this power in his hands to control others."
"That's why I said Prince Xijian isn't a soul eater."
Oh, so that's it?
How could there be such a situation?
That was really strange. It was indeed beyond Qin Xiao's expectations.
So there wasn't a real soul eater clan?
The Soul Eater Clan was just a temporary definition of the Righteous Alliance. It was just a name for them.
But in reality, the soul eater was just a puppet controlled by some strange devouring power.
The real core members didn't have this power.
If that was the case, then Crown Prince Xijian wasn't being controlled by this power. Everything he did was voluntary.
If that was the case, wouldn't it further confirm Lang Jinghong's guess?
However, everything was hard to say for the time being. It was just a guess.
He couldn't rule out this possibility, but he couldn't be sure.
The truth of the matter had to be proven with evidence.
However, if that was the case, then things would not be easy to handle.
How was he going to deal with Crown Prince Xijian?
After thinking about it, Qin Xiao shook his head and said, "If that's the case, then there's no other way. We can only use the stupidest and most direct way to deal with Crown Prince Xijian."
"Since there's no way to find out any concrete evidence, we can only suppress him directly and force him to reveal himself."
Brother Pure grinned and said, "Didn't I tell you, brother? The simplest and crudest method will do."
"There's no need to be so flashy. Let's just go straight to Crown Prince Xijian. Let's see who dares to stop us."
"Isn't it just the Sword-washing Dynasty? What's there to be afraid of? Let's just fight head-on."
He had said this before, although it was a bit of a joke.
However, Brother Pure was absolutely capable of doing such a thing.
Lang Jinghong didn't know Qin Xiao's specific strength, but Brother Pure did.
Even if there were two World Gods in the Sword-washing Dynasty, Brother Pure believed that Qin Xiao could easily suppress them.
Therefore, Brother Pure wasn't that worried. At worst, they could just fight head-on.
However, Lang Jinghong was shocked when he heard this. He hurriedly said, "Brother Qin Xiao, you can't act so recklessly."
"I'm afraid you'll be doomed eternally if you do that."
"You can't underestimate the Sword-washing Dynasty's strength, and you can't underestimate Crown Prince Xijian's strength either. He's definitely very strong."
"Tsk, no matter how strong he is, he can't be stronger than my brother Qin Xiao —"
Brother Pure wanted to say something, but Qin Xiao stopped him, "Alright, Brother Pure, let's not talk about this."
"Let's discuss how we should handle this matter."
"Lang Jinghong, do you have any good countermeasures?"
"We don't have to fight the Sword-washing Dynasty head-on. Maybe we can face Crown Prince Xijian alone. Wouldn't that be much easier?"
"It's indeed risky to directly attack the Sword Washing Dynasty's palace. It's not a good thing to cause too much of a commotion."
"If you can lure Crown Prince Xijian here, then it'll be much easier for us to deal with him."
"Are you confident you can do this?"
Lang Jinghong looked at Qin Xiao and thought for a while before saying, "I'll try, but I'm not confident."
"Crown Prince Xijian basically won't leave his palace. It's not easy to get him to come out."
"Well, try your best. If you can attract the Sword Washing Crown Prince, that would be the best thing that could happen."
"If you can't, then we'll make other plans." Qin Xiao nodded.
Lang Jinghong nodded.
Qin Xiao and Brother Pure spent a lot of effort to suppress the strange devouring power in Lang Jinghong's body temporarily.
It was mainly because Lang Jinghong's willpower was still very strong. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to do so.
However, Lang Jinghong knew that this state couldn't be maintained for long. Soon, the strange devouring power would come back again.
Therefore, they had to seize the time and lure Crown Prince Xijian to Burial Mountain. Then, they could attack him there. That was the best thing to do.
This was the best way for now. If this method really didn't work, then they would have to think of another way.
Anyway, the worst plan was to use the simplest and crudest method to directly attack the Sword Washing Dynasty's palace and directly attack Crown Prince Xijian.
However, it was still better to be cautious with such a move.
Such an action would definitely hurt many innocent people.
Now, they could only wait for the situation on Lang Jinghong's side and hope that there would be good news.
But soon, Lang Jinghong shook his head helplessly and said, "I'm sorry, Brother Qin Xiao. I've already tried. Crown Prince Xijian ignored me and said that if there's anything, I can go back to the Sword Washing City to report to someone. He doesn't need to deal with it personally."
Failed?
The situation didn't look good.
Brother Pure grinned and gritted his teeth. "Brother, don't worry so much. Let's go directly to the Sword Washing Palace."
"This kind of person behind the scenes must be extremely sinister and cunning. They won't be easily fooled."
"We can only use the simplest and crudest method to deal with them. Other methods won't work."
That was true, but Qin Xiao was still somewhat hesitant. Was there really no other way?
Was this really the only way out?
Did they really have to take a big risk and hurt the innocent to do this?
After thinking about it, an idea popped up in Qin Xiao's mind.
"Maybe we can go missing."
Go missing?
Brother Pure stared at Qin Xiao and immediately understood what Qin Xiao meant. "Hahaha, yes, this should be a good way."
"The Burial Mountain should be important to Crown Prince Xijian," said Ye Futian.
"If Brother Lang Jinghong goes missing and doesn't respond to Crown Prince Xijian, or take the initiative to report the situation, then Crown Prince Xijian will definitely not sit still and send someone to see what's going on."
"Then, as long as he sends someone over, we'll just kill them."
"If Crown Prince Xijian sends someone over at this time, then it must be one of his core people."
"If his core people die in our hands, Crown Prince Xijian will definitely not sit still. He'll definitely come to the Burial Mountain to see who has the guts to kill his people."
"This kind of person is definitely very arrogant. He definitely won't tolerate such a thing and such provocation."
"So, this should be feasible."
Lang Jinghong nodded. He also felt that this method should be feasible.
Since the three of them agreed on this method, they naturally carried it out immediately.
However, Crown Prince Xijian usually did not pay much attention to Lang Jinghong. After waiting for a long time, no one came.
On the other hand, Lang Jinghong acted up once. Qin Xiao and Brother Pure spent a lot of effort to suppress the strange devouring power.
They continued to wait.
In the blink of an eye, a thousand years had passed.
Lang Jinghong had acted up several times, but still, there was no movement.
Lang Jinghong couldn't help but frown when he saw the situation. He even suspected that something had gone wrong.
"Qin Xiao, do you think Crown Prince Xijian has noticed something? So he doesn't care about this place? "Brother Pure could not help but make a guess.
However, this guess was rejected by Qin Xiao.
Qin Xiao shook his head. "It shouldn't be possible. First of all, Crown Prince Xijian shouldn't be able to sense the problem here."
"We didn't do anything in the territory of Xijian Dynasty. We only killed Patriarch Jiang."
"Patriarch Jiang is just a small fry. It's impossible for him to attract Crown Prince Xijian's attention."
"Burial Mountain is an important place. Crown Prince Xijian should pay more attention to it."
"Moreover, even if Crown Prince Xijian knows about the situation in Burial Mountain, given his pride, he won't ignore it. At least, he will send a capable subordinate to investigate."
"But we've been guarding this place and haven't seen anyone come here. So, I think this possibility can be ruled out. "
"Let's wait patiently. We should get something."
"Now, there's no better way than this."
Brother Pure smacked his lips. He did not think this was a good idea, but there was no other way. They could only wait.
This wait lasted for another three hundred years.
Finally, something happened.
Qin Xiao had long sensed that there were two figures rushing over.
"Hehe, they're finally here. I thought Crown Prince Xijian didn't care about Burial Mountain, but it seems like you do. "
"He sent a Third-step Ancient Saint and a Second-step Ancient Saint. It seems like it'll take some effort to kill you."
"But it's fine. It'll only take some effort. Since they're here, none of them can leave alive. "
Brother Pure licked his lips, revealing a murderous look.
For such an evil person, Brother Pure naturally would not show any mercy.
Qin Xiao's eyes were also fixed on the two people. As soon as they entered Burial Mountain, he would immediately activate the isolation of space to envelop this place and cut off all contact with the outside world.
Then, he would quickly kill the two men.
"Lang Jinghong, don't make a move first to avoid triggering the strange devouring power in your body. Leave these two to us," Qin Xiao said to Lang Jinghong.
Lang Jinghong nodded. He knew he could not help much now.
