That meddlesome Great Venerable noticed the relationship between Li Qinglian and Taibai True Monarch early on and made his move on Li Qinglian, pulling him into the fold to prepare for any future confrontation with the Daoist Lord.
However, man's plans cannot compete with those of the heavens. This move turned out to be unnecessary, as the Great Venerable never engaged in a life-and-death struggle with the Daoist Lord, and Emperor Jiang, who killed him, was entirely unconcerned with whether Li Qinglian lived or died.
But somehow, this chess piece of Li Qinglian appears to be in use even now.
Facing the Daoist Lord's questioning, Li Qinglian remained unruffled and said, "The Devil God Sect is no more, so I can't say I serve it. At most, I am repaying a favor to the Great Venerable while fulfilling my own purpose, merely delivering a message on behalf of others."
"Oh?" The Daoist Lord slowly said, "Speak all at once."
