In the Xing Chan Pseudo-God's plan.
If Li Yuan had a Pseudo-God Puppet by his side, or a Pseudo-God bodyguard for protection, then, he would view the guard force and give up the assassination, or directly self-destruct to gamble with his life.
If Li Yuan was alone, the plan was to first try to directly kill Li Yuan with two Secret Treasures, and if the Secret Treasure assault failed, then attempt to kill him with his own strength.
However!
Xing Chan Pseudo-God overlooked two things, first, Li Yuan's personal strength was far greater than he had imagined.
Second, in addition to bestowing Li Yuan with a Pseudo-God Puppet, Jiang Yuan True God had also arranged for another extremely powerful Pseudo-God 'Shadow Demon Pseudo-God' to secretly protect Li Yuan, as a double layer of protection.
And the Shadow Demon Pseudo-God had been hiding in the dark all along, even unbeknownst to Xing Chan Pseudo-God.
