Su Ye stroked the jade slip, his thoughts racing as he finalized his plan.
'Frame Qinghua. Make that remnant of the Demon Palace, that disciple of the Blood Moon, act as my shield and draw all the fire.'
'I'm sure that once news gets out about a Demon Palace remnant appearing—even if it's just a rumor—it will be enough to occupy a significant portion of the Jade Void Sword Sect's attention...'
'Or better yet... it might directly mislead them, making the Jade Void Sword Sect think the unfamiliar Nascent Soul they're hunting *is* the Demon Palace remnant.'
A smile graced Su Ye's lips as he considered this.
Then, with steady steps, he walked into the darkness.
He had promised to refine the Dao Source. It was time to fulfill that promise.
'After I refine the Dao Source, I'll hunt a few more Golden Cores. With Qinghua taking the blame, it's no big deal...' Su Ye thought casually. When you have a scapegoat, you can act without fear!
