"Saintess!"
She bowed respectfully. "Saintess, I verified the list from Shuimo last night. There are no issues. The ones Huangfu Song targeted yesterday were indeed those people."
Gu Xiangzhu said coolly, "Continue your observations. Create a few crises for them from time to time. Any who reveal a Celestial Demon Pattern... kill!"
That single word, "kill."
Lady Yue was startled. "Saintess, you mean..."
Gu Xiangzhu stated, enunciating each word, "The Demon Monarch... has no need to exist!"
"Then..."
Lady Yue asked again, "What if Zhao Ci is the Demon Monarch's reincarnation?"
Gu Xiangzhu's tone faltered. "He is the only one who must not be touched!"
Lady Yue was silent for a long moment before saying softly, "Saintess, your heart is in turmoil."
"Absurd! I am the chosen one for Demon Cultivation. How could my heart possibly be in turmoil?"
