429 The Last Card (1/2)

Wang Lu never really plotted for the lives of the two children. The blood sacrifice to control the Eternal Tree was actually a scheme from the very beginning.

A scheme to drive Zhan Ziye to death.

There was nothing wrong with Zhan Ziye's Eternal Tree strategy. He could indeed connect Sacred Leaf with the Eternal Tree through the spell derived from supreme wisdom. Unfortunately, Shaman went to the afterlife along with A Ye, which completely ruined his whole plan.

Without the powerful Sacred Leaf Shaman, her young heir alone was far from enough to support the spell. The only way seemed to be like what Wang Lu said, to blood sacrifice one person so that the other could accomplish it. However, previously, just as Wang Lu mentioned this plan, Zhan Ziye had furiously interrupted him.

However, in turn, what if there was no Wang Lu to tell the plan?

With Zhan Ziye's IQ, could he really not think of this method?

As for whether he thought that this approach could be implemented or not, whether he could be ruthless enough to hurt the two children… these should be carefully considered.

The two children being left to him by Shaman was a significant factor. However, looking from another point of view, whose children were they? Shaman's and Zhan Ziye's? Would Zhan Ziye consider the two children as his, knowing that they were A Ye's descendant? No matter how dull Zhan Ziye in the emotional department was, would he really be willing to accept these two huge plates?

Zhan Ziye was not an evil person, but he was not a saint either. He wouldn't be easily moved by the feelings between men and women. Previously, when he was attracted to Liu Li, it could not be considered as he was really moved. However, once Zhan Ziye was really moved, often he would do extreme things. For him, the beginning was a game, and the important thing was the result. During the period where he lived with Shaman, this forest fairy quietly aroused his desire, which made him began to try to enjoy the game process. However, when he had high hopes for Shaman, Shaman actually betrayed his trust...

From Zhan Ziye's point of view, it could be said that Shaman had stabbed him in the back. However, what did this injury mean for an emotionally stunted member of Ten Thousand Arts Sect? Only the innumerable painful lessons in history could explain it. Unfortunately, although throughout her life Shaman was considered as wise, in her last moment of life, her concern was chaotic and thus ignorant of what she had done.

Leaving the two children under the care of Zhan Ziye? When Wang Lu learned of this matter, he immediately knew that the two children have been sentenced to death.

Perhaps Zhan Ziye would not immediately make his move, but in the end, the existence of the two children were just eyesores. Eventually, Zhan Ziye would understand that for him, only the five blood spirit crown was important. And if he wanted to get the five blood spirit crown, the sacrifice of the two children was essential.

Of course, Zhan Ziye was by no means a lunatic. But if the two children themselves were the ones looked for death, wasn't that a sufficient enough ground?

Wang Lu was willing to bet ten million spirit stones that Zhan Ziye would surely sacrifice the two children in exchange for the five blood spirit crown.

This was also where Zhou Mumu was different from Zhan Ziye. Through the tacit understanding with A Ye, in order to fulfill the poignant love, Zhou Mumu did not hesitate to sacrifice herself. However, Zhan Ziye was different. With his Master's education, his innate personality doomed him not to be trapped in the mire forever.

If Shaman was still alive, she might be able to firmly tether Zhan Ziye tightly. However, she was dead. The only factor that could limit the frenzied Zhan Ziye disappeared.

For Wang Lu, the death of the two children was irrelevant. He would not deliberately push them into the abyss, but he would not waste precious time to save their lives either. What mattered to Wang Lu was the Eternal Tree strategy of Zhan Ziye. It was one of the most important weapons against Qiong Hua, but it was also a threat to Wang Lu. Once the Eternal Tree fell into Zhan Ziye's hand, he could really sweep this world and no one could be his enemy.

Therefore, Wang Lu must remove Zhan Ziye, but at the same time keep the Eternal Tree. Thus, a targeted plan was born.

The plan to sacrifice the two children, Zhan Ziye could ultimately think of it himself. However, if this matter was first proposed by Wang Lu, then naturally it would be completely different. Given the relationship between the two of them, Zhan Ziye would subconsciously resist it, and indeed, at the beginning of the incident, he was angry.

Then, by explaining the plan which could be deduced by Zhan Ziye himself, not only did it not act as a hint, Zhan Ziye was completely stifled by it immediately. Especially when the two children came in time, Zhan Ziye was completely suppressed by Wang Lu that he could not even say a word. However, if he pushed things too far, it would only cause the seed of rebellion in Zhan Ziye's heart to grow wildly...

Similarly, the timely appearance of the two children was more like a divine stroke, directly pulling themselves back from the abyss of death.

In front of Wang Lu, no matter what, Zhan Ziye would not just stare blankly as they die. On the contrary, if Wang Lu's plan could be broken, it could be seen as a victory for Zhan Ziye.

However, how could he protect the two children and let Wang Lu's vicious plan go bankrupt? This was a problem for Zhan Ziye. There was indeed a way to launch the Eternal Tree without the blood sacrifice

And that was exactly Zhan Ziye playing the role of Sacred Leaf. As for whether the wood spirit could overstep his authority to play as the master… With the Ten Thousand Methods Comprehension, he could simulate the Sacred Leaf. As long as he was willing to pay the price, nothing was unachievable.

It was just that, the price was indeed really heavy. It was likely that he could die on the spot. Although in this immortal dream land he had life-saving props, the fate of expulsion from immortal dream land was inevitable.

At this price, it was impossible for Zhan Ziye to rationally accept it. He did not come here to become a volunteer. Why would he launch the Eternal Tree to beat Golden City only for Wang Lu to reap the reward?
