Hearing this, the body of the Death Apostle trembled slightly, and Yao Long also came to a halt. It seemed they had realized that although the leader of Yang Master spoke sweetly, he actually intended to keep them as hostages.
Seeing this, I quickly stepped forward, standing in front of Yao Long and the Death Apostle. "No! They can't stay; I need their help."
However, the leader of Yang Master didn't even glance at me. Nonchalantly pouring tea from a nearby teapot into a cup, he slowly said, "What’s wrong? I’ve worked with your friends before. Are you trying to stop me from having a chat with them?" He raised the cup in his hand and slowly lifted his gaze to cast a look at me that was tinged with Killing Intent.
"Discussing such matters requires mutual consent. You may be willing, but have you asked my friends if they are?" As soon as I finished speaking, I felt the Death Apostle patting me on the back, signaling me to stop.
"Alright, as you wish. We'll stay and catch up with you," the Death Apostle suddenly said cheerfully.
"You can't stay..." I turned to look back and was instantly drenched in cold sweat. A dagger emanating a chilling light was pointed at my neck from behind, held by the same person who had initially opened the door for us and referred to the Leader of the Sun Warriors as 'Dad.'
He wore a smile on his face, looking at me with ill intent, and whispered, "Don't push your luck..."
I shot him a glare, gritted my teeth, and helplessly said to the Death Apostle and Yao Long, "Just take care of yourselves; I will definitely come back to save you."
With that, I left with Li Zhisheng and Hu Fang while the Death Apostle and Yao Long remained in the inn.
After leaving the inn, I stayed alert, constantly observing my surroundings while thinking about how to deceive Yang Master's people without handing over the real Divine Anomalies Classic: Nine Star Life and Death Diagram to rescue the Death Apostle and Yao Long.
At that moment, Li Zhisheng, who had been acting somewhat strangely, suddenly said to me, "Shen Xu, I think... I might know where this so-called Xinzhu is..."
"Don't say anything!" I quickly interrupted Li Zhisheng, signaling him with my eyes to look aside.
Across the street, two burly men who had brought us here were walking parallel to us at the same pace. It seemed they were sent by Yang Master to monitor us.
Li Zhisheng understood and nodded without saying anything more. Hu Fang, still a bit shaken from earlier, anxiously asked, "Shen Xu, what exactly are you planning? Can you tell me what's going on so I can prepare myself?"
"Don't rush; I'm figuring it out..." As I slowed my pace and walked steadily while keeping an eye on those two men across the street, I muttered to myself: "Going in hard won't work; even if I give it my all against him, Yao Long at full power might not be his match... In that case..."
Suddenly, an idea struck me. I turned to Hu Fang and Li Zhisheng and said, "Let's find a place to hide first. I'll explain the plan to you later."
With that, the three of us walked for a while longer until we found a modest inn to stay in. By this time, we had already traveled over half an hour away from the hotel where Yang Master was staying.
During our journey, the two burly men from Yang Master had been following us closely. After we entered the inn, I glanced out the window and saw them standing guard outside, not moving an inch.
Once inside our room, we locked the door. Li Zhisheng asked me, "Can you tell me your plan now?"
Hu Fang chimed in, "Yeah, hurry up! Otherwise, Death Apostle and Yao Long will be waiting there and might get beaten again..."
"Yes, I know they won't be safe... We have to rescue Yao Long and Death Apostle, but I don't want to give them the Nine Star Diagram..." I replied. "Right now, I've thought of a way—it's the only method that can save them while keeping the Divine Anomalies Classic safe."
"Hu Fang, do you remember the Luggage we brought with us before we left?" I asked.
"Of course! Did you put the book in there?" Hu Fang responded.
"Yes, that's right. I also brought the Divine Anomalies Classic. In a bit, I need you to go get it for me. But make sure you don't take my bag; just grab someone else's bag and bring it back to me."
"And Li Zhisheng, I need you to do something too. You need to get my backpack and then head to the station. Just buy a ticket to anywhere and leave this place."
Upon hearing this, Li Zhisheng asked, "You want me to take the book and leave?"
I pondered for a moment before nodding in agreement. "There's something else I need you to do as well. But first, I need to ask you a question: Can you take on those two men downstairs who are watching us?"
Li Zhisheng paused in surprise before walking over to the window to take a look. After observing for a moment, he said, "They both have Void Spirit within them, but I'm not sure about their exact strength. From what I can see physically, I should be able to handle one of them, but two... I'm not so sure."
"No, I'm not asking you to fight them using Soul Burial. I mean hand-to-hand combat," I clarified.
"Hand-to-hand?! Are you joking? With my build against those two muscle-bound guys?! You might as well just kill me now..." Li Zhisheng exclaimed in disbelief.
"No, I'm not joking with you. If you run away with the book, they are likely to come and snatch it, and such a situation could occur in crowded places. In that case, not only will you be unable to use the power of Soul Burial, but they won't be able to use Void Spirit either. So I'm asking you this question just to confirm if you are confident..."
"However, if that really happens, I hope you won't be too stubborn. Losing the book is fine; your life is the most important thing. Do you understand?!" I emphasized deliberately.
Li Zhisheng seemed to understand and nodded silently.
Seeing that he got the point, I continued, "Since that's the case, we shouldn't delay any longer. If I remember correctly, parking is not allowed for long in front of the pet hospital. Our car might get towed for illegal parking, so we should act quickly..."
"Do both of you understand the plan?" I asked.
Hu Fang and Li Zhisheng both nodded. Hu Fang said, "It's just about creating a diversion, right? No problem, I'll do my best."
With that, the two prepared to get up and leave. Seeing this, I hurriedly called out to them, "Wait, don't go together. Hu Fang, you go first..."
