"You're right. I never took Yincao seriously. My real goal was to lure the two of you out of hiding," Chu Kuangren said to Yanluo Forefather and Luyou.
He had been planning it since he returned from the Three-Lives River, and the siege on Yincao City was just a part of the plan.
The army from Fengdu, the reinforcement from the Holy Violet Emperor Planet, Yincao, Taishan, and even the High Priest were all his chess pieces to lure Yanluo Forefather and Luyou out here.
His real goal was to reform the reincarnation mechanism.
As a matter of fact, he did not know about Luyou's existence, but it did not disrupt his plan.
If Luyou was out of the equation, he could have eliminated Yincao and turned his attention to Taishan later. The outcome would be the same regardless because the three great reincarnation mechanisms must be rebuilt.
