Chapter 342 Chen Lingyun's Strategies

When I came to Chen Lingyun's room, I saw her talking on the phone on the balcony.

Yan Yu waited patiently for her to finish the call, then turned around and stated his purpose:
"I recently heard from Anna that there's a rumor circulating internationally that the Li Palace Secret Realm will only award rewards based on the order in which you enter, and the rewards for those at the top will be very different from those at the bottom."

"Yeah." Chen Lingyun nodded and said, "It seems that someone in our group leaked the information."

"So it was a leak." Yan Yu nodded in sudden realization, "So what?"

"So here's a question," Chen Lingyun said with a low laugh. "Suppose I'm the head of Yin-Yang Academy, and I form an alliance with Lihua Academy and the Strategic Bureau to fight against the cultivators from Lu State. Finally, we successfully fight our way to the gate of the Li Palace. Who should enter the palace first?"

Yan Yu pondered for a moment and replied:
"Of course, the strongest one will leave the palace first."

"So, who's the strongest?" Chen Lingyun continued with a smile. "I say the Onmyoji is the strongest and should go to the palace first to get the best rewards. Are the Lihuayuan and the Strategic Bureau willing to acknowledge that?"

"So in the final analysis, fighting is inevitable." Yan Yu followed her analysis and said, "In this way, the other side's alliance will collapse on its own."

"To say it will fall apart without a fight is an exaggeration." Chen Lingyun put away her smile and said in a deep voice, "The other side will definitely not believe all the information we have released. As long as the cultivators from Lu State still stand in the way, the three forces will definitely prioritize forming an alliance and kick us out first."

"And the crack will only appear at the last step." Yan Yu also pondered, "That is when the cultivators of Lu Country are unable to prevent the three forces from entering the Li Palace."

"That's right." Chen Lingyun said slowly, "That was when they turned against each other and killed each other in order to enter the palace first."

"Won't they be suspicious?" Yan Yu asked, "that this intelligence we've fabricated is intended to break up their tripartite alliance?"

"Of course they'll be suspicious," Chen Lingyun said with a smile, "but what can they do?"

"If the intelligence is false, then let's switch to a more universal secret realm model. That is, the Ligong Secret Realm doesn't distribute rewards in order. Instead, like most secret realms, it has a secret realm core for refining. Then, the first transcendent to refine the core will directly take all the benefits, kicking all other transcendents out. Isn't this an even more extreme situation than 'distributing rewards in order'?"

"In other words," Yan Yu quickly concluded, "the so-called tripartite alliance was doomed to fail. Sooner or later, internal strife would break out before the fruits of victory were even achieved. The reason we released the intelligence was simply to expose this hidden danger and sow discord between them."

"You can say that."

"But there's still a problem," Yan Yu asked in a deep voice. "If the three parties reach a consensus in advance and learn from our Lu Kingdom's distribution mechanism, requiring all transcendents who enter the Li Palace, regardless of their order, to hand in their spoils, and then distribute them more fairly, wouldn't that prevent the alliance from breaking up?"

"No need for ifs." Chen Lingyun said with a smile, "They will definitely try to do this to avoid being alienated by the intelligence we released."

"So how do we crack it?" Yan Yu asked casually at first, and then suddenly realized, "Ah, I understand!"

"The Korean Sword God! Right?"

"The Korean Sword God is just one of the pawns." Chen Lingyun's smile grew sweeter as she spoke gently, "Yan Yu, we're facing more than just three groups of extraordinary individuals. They have thousands of intelligence personnel, psychologists, and strategic think tank analysts behind them. They have the smartest minds in the country helping them plan and closely monitor any flaws we might accidentally reveal. A simple trick or two won't trick them, and even if it succeeds, it's just luck."

"And this time, I want to be absolutely sure."

"You?" Yan Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, "Did your father give you full authority to handle this matter?"

"Oh, right." Chen Lingyun said with a smile, "Why, are you surprised?"

"Not surprising." Yan Yu shook his head. "It's just a little bit earlier than the timeline of my previous life."

"How much earlier?" Chen Lingyun asked curiously.

"Just a little."

"One year?"

"A little more than this."

"I understand." Chen Lingyun sighed pretentiously, "It seems that I, without your foresight, am really a late bloomer." "Haha." Yan Yu remained noncommittal. "I just hope you can distinguish between public and private matters. When you're playing big games, play them well. When you're not playing games, withdraw from the role of a player in time. Don't treat everyone around you as pawns, otherwise it will backfire on you sooner or later."

"I understand." Chen Lingyun nodded.

Considering that she didn't have a smile on her face at that moment, she probably didn't understand why but secretly remembered it.

"Alright." Yan Yu brushed the matter off and returned to the main topic. "I'm not good at staying behind the scenes and planning things, but I trust your ability in this area. Otherwise, I wouldn't have told you this secret."

"My request is simple: take all the rewards from the palace, kill as many enemies as possible, and maximize your results and achievements. As long as you can do this, I will leave the matter to you. I have no objections."

"Hmm, I knew you would trust me~" Chen Lingyun smiled again and said in a coquettish tone, "Since you said so, I will definitely take good care of you~"

"Just give me your orders."

"First thing." Chen Lingyun raised a finger, her smile becoming as sweet as smooth honey. "I want you to tell me everything you know about the secret realm of the Li Palace, no matter how big or small. Tell me everything again."

"Okay." Yan Yu sat down beside her and said seriously, "Actually, I haven't personally experienced the strategy of the Secret Realm of the Palace. The information comes from the incident files I have read and your oral account."

"The secret realm opened around 1:3 AM on January 9rd. The surging, colorful waves beneath the sea suddenly burst open, like the gate to the underwater dragon palace opening..."

"Where are the celestial phenomena?" Chen Lingyun interrupted him.

"It's not mentioned in the archives," Yan Yu recalled carefully, "but judging from the description, there should be little or no clouds. Otherwise, the surveillance satellite wouldn't be able to capture the specific conditions of the surrounding sea area."

"Then, the Lu Kingdom Privy Council blocked the area near the secret realm entrance, but the enemy still managed to break into the secret realm. Later, it was suspected that the Yin-Yang Academy used some unknown water escape technique to avoid the line of fire above the water surface and send the extraordinary people into the deep sea secret realm."

"Water escape technique?" Chen Lingyun raised an eyebrow. "What specific evidence do you have?"

........................

It took Yan Yu almost half an hour to finish telling all the information about the secret realm of the Li Palace in his previous life. If Chen Lingyun hadn't interrupted him frequently and asked for more details, it wouldn't have taken so long.

"That's all." He picked up the water cup on the desk and took several gulps. "You've written it all down, right? Don't ask me to repeat it, or I'll really get angry."

"I've written it all down." Chen Lingyun bent her fingers and tapped her temple, "But there's one more thing."

"What's the matter?" Yan Yu asked.

"I need a relaxing environment to reorganize and connect the information in my mind." Chen Lingyun said with a smile.

"Okay." Yan Yu stood up, "I'll tell them not to come up and disturb you..."

"No." Chen Lingyun said with a smile, "I want you to hold me."

"what?"

"Don't understand?" Chen Lingyun blinked and said playfully, "I sit on your lap, and then you put your arms around me and put them on my..."

"Chest?"

"It's the abdomen."

"You're asking too much." Yan Yu refused decisively, "How can I tell the difference between the two?"

Chen Lingyun's smile immediately turned cold.
