As for the puppet master behind the whole incident, it was naturally that old schemer, Yuanyi!
Yes, that Little Witch Master was just a mere pawn in the game!
Yuanyi's real purpose was to make the disciples of Qinglan Sect execute the sect rules and mistakenly kill the Princess of Nanzhao Kingdom. This would ignite a conflict, causing the Nanzhao Kingdom's power to completely sway to the Demon Sect's side.
If I'm not mistaken about the plot, Ye Chen will arrive shortly with his Sword Control. Under Old Shi's guidance, he will help Zhao Qingdie out of her dilemma, winning her heart initially. This lays the foundation for him obtaining support from Nanzhao Kingdom, defeating the Demon Sect, and becoming famous in the Eastern Region after the Five Branches Martial Assembly.
