The path to immortality is narrow, it only allows one person to stand upon it. So this road is crammed full of schemers.
This woman Shangguan Shengxian truly has an uncommon mind. After the battle in the Celestial Court, she was actually the first to find the main body of Evergreen Immortal Venerable's reincarnation, but she knew very clearly that Yunluo Immortal Venerable was searching as well. If she struck directly at Wu Ming, she would easily expose herself.
Once discovered, she wouldn't be able to contend against Yunluo Immortal Venerable.
So she changed her approach. She lured Great Monarch Qiongqi over and had him capture Wu Ming, and at the same time she should have transmitted a message to the Dao Sect, having the Dao Sect snatch Wu Ming from Great Monarch Qiongqi's hands.
Once Great Monarch Qiongqi failed and Wu Ming fell into the Celestial Court's grasp, the killing move she had buried long ago would erupt, and Wu Ming would still die.
