Chapter 429: The Chosen One, Xu Hu, and Chen Changsheng’s Plan
Upon hearing Xu Mao’s words, Moon Shadow was initially stunned, then said:
“What do you mean by this? Xuhu’er has been targeted.”
“Who is targeting Hu’er?”
“The ones who initiated the Battle of Extinction, or those plotting behind the scenes.”
“Hu’er was taught by you and me, how could you not know his capabilities?”
“Ma Guang learned much earlier than him; he cannot be Ma Guang’s match.”
“If so, how could Hu’er force Ma Guang to use the Emperor Artifact?”
“Honestly, how many people in the world can fully unleash Hu’er’s potential in such a short time?”
“Other than those plotting everything, who else could it be?”
Upon hearing this, a hint of fear flashed through Moon Shadow’s mind.
“It might be Master Bi’s doing; perhaps he deserves credit for this.”
“Because Hu’er’s teacher is Master Bi, I feel there’s something fishy about this.”
“Who is Master Bi? He is the Supreme Saint’s attendant, the one left to oversee Mountain River Academy.”
“Without special circumstances, how could he take on disciples?”
“Although Heavenly First Spring indeed has some connection with Mountain River Academy, that alone is insufficient.”
“For Hu’er to become Master Bi’s disciple, a major figure must have intervened.”
“You are now the leader of the Fox Clan; wouldn’t you only accept disciples under special circumstances?”
After listening, Moon Shadow became thoroughly anxious.
“No, this is impossible!”
“Hu’er has already cut off his roots; they couldn’t possibly choose him.”
Seeing the panic in Moon Shadow’s eyes, Xu Mao pursed his lips and said.
“I don’t know why, but I’m sure Hu’er was chosen by someone.”
“After the Battle of Extinction, I delayed bringing Hu’er out to avoid them.”
“But after thousands of years, they never appeared.”
“I thought they wouldn’t show up, or at least not soon, so I let Hu’er come out.”
“To ensure safety, I also had Hu’er cut off a part of himself.”
“Despite all my calculations, I never imagined Hu’er would still be targeted.”
As he spoke, Xu Mao pounded his palm in frustration.
Seeing this, Moon Shadow calmed down and said.
“Xu Mao, tell me honestly, who is targeting Hu’er?”
“I can’t be certain; everything is just speculation.”
“There’s a seventy percent chance it’s the Teacher, and thirty percent it’s others.”
Hearing this, Moon Shadow swallowed hard and asked.
“Is there any difference?”
“If it’s others, we can fight, hire help, maybe even save Hu’er.”
“What if it’s the Teacher?”
Facing this question, Xu Mao closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said.
“Hu’er is doomed, no one can change that.”
“That’s impossible; the Teacher isn’t heartless. With his deep ties to Heavenly First Spring, he won’t let Hu’er d*e.”
Hearing this, Xu Mao helplessly smiled and said.
“The Teacher won’t let Hu’er d*e, but he will make Hu’er willingly go to his d*ath.”
“Don’t you remember what the Teacher’s nickname is?”
“He is the Undertaker; his appearance means someone is heading towards d*ath.”
“But little sister hasn’t…”
“That’s because the timing isn’t right!”
Xu Mao directly interrupted Moon Shadow.

“Little sister Tuhu has vanished; doesn’t this clearly indicate something?”
“If the Teacher appears this time, he must be here to collect debts.”
“For the Qingqiu Fox Clan, Peacock Clan, Heavenly Silkworm Clan, and Jiaolong Clan, all indebted to the Teacher, they must pay back double.”
“Count on your fingers, how many followers of the Teacher can end well?”
“Even the powerful Demon Emperor met a tragic end; what fate do you think Hu’er will face?”
Upon hearing this, Moon Shadow trembled.
“No, Hu’er is still a child; if he really has to do these things…”
“The Teacher should come to us instead.”
“I thought the same before, but now I realize we were never chosen by the Teacher.”
“No!”
Moon Shadow angrily roared.
“I can d*e, we both can d*e, but Hu’er cannot.”
“I won’t agree to this!”
“If Hu’er truly participates in these matters, I’ll break his legs.”
“It’s futile,” Xu Mao shook his head and said, “The Teacher excels at making people willing to d*e.”
“If the Teacher chose Hu’er, unless you k*ll him, his heart will never stay.”
“Tapa!”
Hearing this, Moon Shadow stepped back in shock.
She stared blankly at Xu Mao and asked, “Is there any room for maneuver?”
“No.”
“Can you be sure it’s him?”
“After seeing the inn’s cook, I will know.”

Mission Hall.
Chen Changsheng leisurely read the tasks posted by Mountain River Academy.
While Qian Ya rummaged nearby.
“You let Potato out?”
Chen Changsheng muttered to himself.
Immediately afterward, Zhi Ze’s voice echoed in his ear.
“Yes, Yinyue and Potato share the same origin. Without prior preparation, it might raise suspicions.”
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng smiled and said.
“Your approach is somewhat superfluous; Xu Mao isn’t an idiot.”
“The more you do this, the more he’ll confirm my identity.”
“Why?”
“Because in this world, everything is half true and half false. If something lacks even a bit of ‘fake’, it must be fake.”
“Can you explain it simply? This philosophical stuff is hard to understand.”
“Alright, let me put it simply.”
“Yinyue and Xu Mao aren’t part of my plan; whether they know my identity doesn’t matter.”
“As long as you don’t reveal yourself, others won’t dare pin down your identity.”
“Next, try to align yourself with the Mighty Donkey Clan and some old Demon Clans.”
“No problem, what should I do next?”
Hearing Zhi Ze’s question, Chen Changsheng grinned and said, “When they start hunting us.”
“Internal conflicts within the Demon Clan can’t be reconciled; the best solution is to completely eliminate one side.”
“But don’t overdo it; just eliminate the troublemakers.”
“So using these little guys as bait is perfect.”
“It will make other races hate them fiercely without driving them to madness.”
“In this way, I can clearly separate them.”
