Hearing this, Mo Shu stopped in his tracks, turned around, and stroked his beard seriously. "Of course, since you asked, I won't hide it from you..." He pondered for a moment. "Hmm... I was thinking that the jujubes are almost finished, and you all should be arriving soon... Could you buy me some more?" With that, Mo Shu smiled at us apologetically.
Li Zhisheng was surprised. "No way, old man! Last time we brought an entire cart of jujubes over. It can't be gone so quickly..."
"This place isn't just for me; there are dozens of disciples here. Of course, they eat quickly."
Upon hearing this, I knew that Mo Shu loved to joke. He was probably planning to explain everything in detail once we settled down. So I smiled in response and said, "Alright, I'll get you another cart when I have the chance. After all, you've helped us."
With that, we helped the Death Apostle inside and laid him on the bed. At that moment, Mo Shu followed us and asked, "What happened to him? His aura seems a bit weak. Although he's not in any life-threatening danger, how did he end up like this?"
"This is a long story..." As I covered the Death Apostle with a blanket, I continued, "In short, his body has been invaded by another extremely powerful soul. His own soul is suppressed and seems to have fallen into a kind of deep sleep without waking up."
"The powerful soul you're talking about is from Yang Master, right?" Mo Shu stated directly.
"That's right. How did you know?" I turned back after finishing my task.
"Weren't you just asking me how I knew you were coming? Actually, since the moment you left here, I've been sending people to secretly follow you. After understanding your situation, I realized you only had one choice: to come here seeking protection. Am I wrong?" Mo Shu said confidently.
Upon hearing this, I felt a hint of unease in my heart. "Then why didn't you help us? If you had sent someone to intervene, things might not have turned out like this..."
Before I could finish, Li Zhisheng quickly tugged at my sleeve and whispered urgently, "Let's not discuss what position we're in. We've only had a few dealings with him; there's no reason he must help us. You're going a bit too far with that."
Surprisingly, Mo Shu didn't get angry at my words; instead, he laughed heartily and said, "Have you ever considered that if I intervened to help you, it would inevitably alert Yang Master's people that I'm involved? Then they would discover this place as well. At that point, it wouldn't just be you hiding; even this old bone of mine would have to run around with you."
At this point, Mo Shu's expression gradually darkened, becoming somewhat serious as he continued, "Right now, I can only rely on the advantage of not having a Void Spirit within me, allowing us to approach them without being detected by Yang Master’s people. We must look for the right opportunity and their weaknesses. If we act recklessly, there is no doubt that we will be completely exterminated by Yang Master, leaving us with no room to maneuver."
Hearing this, I suddenly realized why Mo Shu had sent someone to secretly follow us. It wasn't just that Li Zhisheng and I were unaware; even Yao Long had not noticed anything unusual. The issue lay in the fact that they did not possess a Void Spirit, making them appear no different from ordinary people.
"It seems that you and your disciples lack a Void Spirit, which has surprisingly become an advantage at this moment," Li Zhisheng remarked.
"You are correct, but this is also the fundamental reason why we cannot confront the War God Yang Master. Even if we could obtain stronger Black Soldiers, we wouldn't be able to utilize them effectively with our current abilities. That’s why we need you," Mo Shu said, pointing a finger at me.
"We? Are you planning to provide us with a sanctuary so that we can rest and recuperate in order to completely overthrow Yang Master?" I asked directly.
"Not only will I provide you with a sanctuary, but I can also offer you two important clues..." Mo Shu said mysteriously. "First: I have the Soul Mirror you are looking for. Second: To defeat the current Sun Warrior Leader, who calls himself the God King, you will need an ancient Black Soldier."
Upon hearing that Mo Shu had the Soul Mirror in his possession, I could hardly contain my excitement. Coupled with his mention of the ancient Black Soldier, I suspected it was the very knife Gu Kai had used to seal the King of Hell.
On the surface, it seemed like everything was in place. As long as Yao Long could safely bring back the Divine Anomalies Classic: Nine Star Life and Death Diagram, we could use the Soul Mirror provided by Mo Shu to unravel its mysteries.
Next, we would find a way to locate Gu Kai and obtain that black knife from him. With it, we should be able to thoroughly defeat Yang Master and perhaps even lift the seal on my hand, allowing me to return to a normal life.
Thinking of this made me overjoyed. I grabbed Mo Shu's shoulders and exclaimed, "Mo Shu Old Senior, you are truly my benefactor! Why didn’t you mention having the Soul Mirror earlier? It made our search so difficult!"
To my surprise, Mo Shu slowly pushed my hands away and said, "Do you really think that having the Soul Mirror will allow you to comprehend the Divine Anomalies Classic: Nine Star Life and Death Diagram in your hands?"
His words instantly crushed my previously soaring spirits like a bucket of cold water poured over my head.
"Is it still not possible? What other conditions or items do we need?" I asked, feeling disheartened.
Mo Shu replied, "Some things are better not known too early; when the time comes, you will naturally know without me having to tell you. I can give you the Soul Mirror, but you must first obtain the Divine Anomalies Classic: Nine Star Life and Death Diagram..."
With that, Mo Shu turned and left, ignoring my confusion.
After a moment, once Mo Shu was far away, Li Zhisheng asked me a vague question that sent a chill down my spine: "Shen Xu, do you think Mo Shu really wants to help us?"
Li Zhisheng's question was undoubtedly rhetorical. I understood he was expressing some doubts about Mo Shu.
"What? Do you think Mo Shu actually wants the Divine Anomalies Classic for himself?" I inquired.
"It’s not hard to tell from his words that he seems to know the secrets of the Divine Anomalies Classic but doesn’t want to reveal them to us. Instead, he wants us to get the book first before asking him for the Soul Mirror..." Li Zhisheng pondered for a moment and continued, "There are two possibilities: one; he is actually someone arranged by Yang Master, which seems unlikely. Two; as you suggested, Mo Shu needs the Divine Anomalies Classic: Nine Star Life and Death Diagram for some purpose of his own..."
