Fang Yang hadn't deceived Le Xiangqian and the others, because he truly did have a strategy in mind.
His side could no longer afford to be so passive.
He planned to employ a scorched-earth tactic.
Of course, he started with public opinion.
In the days that followed, he directed Le Xiangqian and his other subordinates to launch a war of words.
First, he slung mud at himself, then at the Sect Leader, and then at the Sect Leader's disciple, Lu Ling'Er.
Not only that, but he also dragged the lofty Saint Families into the fray.
This was, admittedly, a very risky move.
But Fang Yang was proactively handing Lu Ling'Er and her faction an opportunity to counterattack.
'Stir the pot. Let it all get stirred up.'
'It would be best if you threw the entire Celestial Star Sect into utter chaos, leaving no one in peace.'
'In any case, the Sect Leader's faction is the one in power right now!'
'The murkier the water, the better.'
