Liu Yang chuckled. "Raising their own Corpse Demons just to kill them off... the merit points would have been a freebie. If they'd been allowed to run that scheme for a few decades, the Wuling City Taiping Bureau might have ended up with the surname Hu."
Su Mu nodded in agreement.
If the Hu Family hadn't misjudged his strength, they might have actually succeeded.
If he and Feng Zhengqian had both died here last time, Hu Guangshao would have been able to use their corpses as stepping stones to climb the ranks.
Unfortunately, one wrong move and the whole game was lost.
"Their original plan was to use the Corpse Demons to incite a rebellion in the Outer City. Then, they'd have Hu Guangshao eliminate the demons to earn special merit," Zhang Chenchen said. "But man proposes, God disposes."
"The remnants of the Profound Nether Sect stumbling into this was a fluke. If they'd truly been allowed to grow stronger, it would have become a huge problem."
