Yue Shen hesitated. She knew that if she refused, Ying Yuan would kill her. However, she couldn't submit to Ying Yuan.

"I can give you some time to think about it." Ying Yuan seemed to see through Yue Shen's thoughts, "I will come to see you again in three days."

After saying that, Ying Yuan turned and left, with Huo Feng following closely behind him.

The Moon Goddess looked at Ying Yuan's departing back, her heart filled with contradictions and struggles.

……

Three days later, Ying Yuan came to the Yin-Yang family headquarters again.

The Moon Goddess still stood on the high platform, her white clothes as white as snow, like an ice and snow goddess.

"What do you think?" Ying Yuan asked.

The Moon Goddess took a deep breath and said, "I promise you."

Ying Yuan's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a satisfied smile.

"Very good, from today on, you are my high priest of Yin-Yang School." Ying Yuan said.

The Moon Goddess nodded and said nothing.

"I will give you enough power and status, but you must also remember that your loyalty can only belong to me." There was a hint of warning in Ying Yuan's tone.

The Moon Goddess nodded again.

"Very good." Ying Yuan smiled with satisfaction, "I have something important to deal with, so I'll leave first."

After saying that, Ying Yuan turned and left, with Huo Feng following closely behind him.

Yue Shen looked at Ying Yuan's departing back, with a complicated look in her eyes. She didn't know whether the decision she made was right or wrong, but she knew that there was no turning back.

As the night deepened, the Yin-Yang Clan headquarters was shrouded in silence. The Moon Goddess stood alone on the high platform, letting the night wind blow her clothes.

She thought of Donghuang Taiyi and the future of the Yin-Yang family, and her heart was filled with confusion and anxiety.

Suddenly, she felt a strange breath coming from behind her. She turned around suddenly and saw a dark shadow standing behind her.

"Who are you?" Moon Goddess asked warily.

The black shadow didn't say anything, but slowly took off the mask on his face.

Seeing the face under the mask, Yue Shen was stunned.

"Lord Donghuang?!" Moon Goddess looked at the person in front of her in disbelief.

"It's me." Donghuang Taiyi smiled slightly, his tone full of tenderness.

The Moon Goddess was filled with surprise and confusion. She had clearly seen Ying Yuan kill Donghuang Taiyi, so why was he here again?
"What is going on?" Moon Goddess asked impatiently.

"All of this is a trap." Donghuang Taiyi said with a hint of mystery in his tone, "A trap set against Ying Yuan."

"A trap set against Ying Yuan?" Yue Shen muttered to herself, her eyes full of confusion and shock. She couldn't understand why Donghuang Taiyi, who had clearly been killed by Ying Yuan, was standing in front of her alive? Moreover, what was the so-called "trap"?
Donghuang Taiyi looked at the Moon Goddess, and a trace of pain flashed in his eyes, but it soon disappeared, replaced by a deep calm. He said slowly: "Yes, I was indeed dead, but I am alive again." He paused, as if organizing his words, "All this started three days ago..."

Three days ago, after Ying Yuan left the Yin-Yang Sect headquarters, Dong Huang Tai Yi activated the Yin-Yang Sect secret technique - "Yin-Yang Reincarnation". This technique can transfer one's soul into a pre-prepared body, thus achieving the effect of "false death". And this body is exactly the substitute that Dong Huang Tai Yi has secretly cultivated for many years.

"Then doesn't that mean Ying Yuan has been deceived?" asked the Moon Goddess.

Donghuang Taiyi smiled slightly: "That's right. I deliberately let Ying Yuan kill my substitute in order to let him relax his vigilance and implement our plan."

"Plan? What plan?" The Moon Goddess was even more confused.

"A plan that can overthrow the Qin Dynasty." Donghuang Taiyi's eyes flashed with a sharp light, "Although Ying Yuan is powerful, he also has weaknesses. And I want to take advantage of his weaknesses and defeat him completely!"

The Moon Goddess looked at Donghuang Taiyi, her heart filled with shock. She had never expected that Donghuang Taiyi was secretly planning such an earth-shattering plan. "Then...what should I do?" the Moon Goddess asked.

Donghuang Taiyi looked at the Moon Goddess with trust in his eyes: "You just need to continue to stay by Ying Yuan's side, be his Yin Yang Family High Priest, and secretly pass on information to me."

The Moon Goddess nodded to show that she understood.

"Very good." Donghuang Taiyi smiled with satisfaction, "Remember, be careful and cautious in everything, and never expose our plan."

"I understand." The Moon Goddess nodded solemnly.

After Donghuang Taiyi gave a few more instructions, he disappeared into the night.

The Moon Goddess looked at the direction where Donghuang Taiyi disappeared, her heart filled with mixed emotions. She didn't know whether the decision she made was right or wrong, but she knew that she had no way back.

……

After Ying Yuan returned to Xianyang Palace, he began to deal with government affairs.

Although he had conquered the six kingdoms and unified the world, he did not relax his vigilance. He knew that the world was just beginning to settle down, people's hearts were not stable, and unrest could occur at any time.

"Your Majesty, the high priest of the Yin-Yang family requests to see you." A guard came in to report.

"Let her in." Ying Yuan said.

After a moment, the Moon Goddess walked in.

"Greetings, Your Majesty." The Moon Goddess saluted.

"No need to be polite." Ying Yuan said, "I wonder what the high priest has come here for so late at night?"

"I have something to report to your majesty." The Moon God said, "I observed the sky at night and found that there will be strange phenomena in the near future, which may be unfavorable to the Qin Dynasty."

"Oh? What's the strange phenomenon?" Ying Yuan asked with interest.

"I have observed that the light of Ziwei Star has been dim in recent days, and there may be a disaster for the emperor." said the Moon Goddess.

Ying Yuan frowned slightly when he heard this. Ziwei Star represents the emperor. If the light of Ziwei Star dims, it means that disaster will befall the emperor.

"Is there any way to resolve it?" Ying Yuan asked.

"Yes." The Moon God said, "I suggest that Your Majesty hold a ceremony to offer sacrifices to the heavens and pray for God's blessing."

Ying Yuan thought about it, and then said, "Okay, let's do as the high priest said and choose a day to hold the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the heaven."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." said the Moon Goddess.

"Anything else?" Ying Yuan asked.

"I have one more thing to report to Your Majesty." Moon God hesitated for a moment, then said, "I recently discovered that someone in the Yin-Yang family seems to be secretly colluding with the remnants of the six kingdoms, intending to rebel."

Ying Yuan's eyes flashed with coldness when he heard this. He had long known that the remnants of the six kingdoms would not accept defeat and would definitely wait for an opportunity to counterattack.

"Can you find out who it is?" Ying Yuan asked.

"I have already sent people to investigate secretly, and I believe there will be results soon." said the Moon Goddess.

"Okay, let the high priest take full charge of this matter." Ying Yuan said, "Make sure to catch all these rebels in one fell swoop!"

"I obey your command." said the Moon Goddess.

After the Moon Goddess left, Ying Yuan fell into deep thought. He felt that a huge conspiracy was brewing in secret, and he was at the center of this conspiracy.

He didn't know who was behind this conspiracy, nor what their purpose was, but he knew that he had to be fully prepared to deal with the upcoming challenges. (End of this chapter)
