Li Zhisheng's words made my heart tighten involuntarily. Although I suspected that Mo Shu might have his own agenda, I never expected Li Zhisheng to think of him as someone from Yang Master.
From his tone, it was clear that Li Zhisheng seemed to have begun to doubt Mo Shu.
"While your suspicions are not entirely unfounded, we currently have no evidence. Moreover, Mo Shu has helped us unlock the true Black Soldier. Even though it once led to injuries for both me and Yao Long, there were reasons behind it. Given the current situation, I believe we should be more cautious, but we shouldn't appear too obvious about it. After all, we really have nowhere to hide now..."
At this point, I suddenly heard a low murmur from Death Apostle, who was lying on the bed, seemingly waking up. "Where am I..." Death Apostle mumbled groggily as he slowly sat up.
"We're in Shidao," I replied. Hu Fang, Li Zhisheng, and I stopped our conversation and gathered around the bed to check on Death Apostle's condition.
Just then, Death Apostle looked around in panic and grabbed my collar, asking, "Where's Yao Long?! Where is Yao Long?!"
I was at a loss and quickly held onto Death Apostle's hand, trying to reassure him. "Don't worry, Yao Long is fine. I've arranged for him to wait in Zunyi for the Divine Anomalies Classic. He should be okay right now; just relax."
"No, he can't get the Divine Anomalies Classic! Shen Xu! We've been set up by Sun Warrior Leader!" Death Apostle exclaimed in terror.
At this moment, not only was I stunned, but even Li Zhisheng and Hu Fang were taken aback. Hu Fang said, "That shouldn't be a problem; you might not know Shen Xu's plan—it's all interconnected. Let me explain it to you..."
As Hu Fang was about to start explaining, I quickly raised my hand to stop him and asked Death Apostle seriously, "Hold on; let Death Apostle clarify what's going on first."
After hearing this, Death Apostle swallowed hard and said, "Yang... the leader of Yang Master already knew you wouldn't willingly hand over the Divine Anomalies Classic. He invaded part of my soul and intended to use me to spy on your plans. But since Yao Long was present, he naturally wanted to intervene but was no match for Sun Warrior Leader and was knocked out. Then they found someone else who disguised themselves as Yao Long. After that, I don't know what happened... but if I'm not mistaken... Shen Xu, the Yao Long you entrusted should be a fake!"
At that moment, my mind went blank as if it had exploded. I had thought I had minimized the losses effectively. Little did I expect that not only had I failed to protect the Divine Anomalies Classic and the Nine Star Life and Death Diagram, but it also led to Yao Long falling into their hands with his life now uncertain.
"No, this is impossible. I had planned everything so thoroughly, how could this happen... how could it be like this..." I muttered to myself in confusion, breaking free from the grip of the Death Apostle who was holding my collar. I began to pat my temples with both hands repeatedly, pacing back and forth in the room like someone lost in thought.
"Shen Xu, don't do this! Shen Xu!" Hu Fang rushed over and grabbed me, saying, "There will be a way. Don't panic; calm down."
At that moment, I couldn't calm down at all. Facing such an unfathomable enemy was beyond our capacity to fight back. "No, you don't understand. The leader of the Yang Master is not like any enemy we've faced before. If the Divine Anomalies Classic falls into his hands, getting it back will be harder than climbing a mountain. Not only is his strength far superior to ours, but we can't outsmart him either..."
"It's impossible now; there’s no possibility left..." With that, I collapsed to the ground, despairingly looking at the others in the room who were equally at a loss.
At that moment, everyone fell silent. Time passed second by second, and no one spoke a word.
After a long while, Li Zhisheng furrowed his brow and said in a slightly subdued voice, "Shen Xu, are you planning to give up?"
"What other options do I have? I've thought of every possible solution..." I replied lifelessly.
"No, what I mean is not whether you have any options left; I'm asking if you're ready to give up just like that?" Li Zhisheng stepped closer to me.
Feeling a glimmer of hope from his words, I quickly stood up and pressed him, "Have you thought of something? If there's a way, just say it directly; don't beat around the bush!"
Li Zhisheng looked into my eyes and pondered for a moment before saying, "There might not be a solution per se, but have you considered another question?"
"What question?!"
"Even if the Yang Master obtains the Divine Anomalies Classic and the Nine Star Life and Death Diagram, do they have the means to unravel its mysteries? If they can't unlock those secrets, then the Divine Anomalies Classic would be nothing more than a useless book. I think... perhaps we still have time... Moreover, this might actually be an opportunity for us—a chance to directly unravel the mark on you and the mystery of the Divine Anomalies Classic..."
Hearing Li Zhisheng's words, I made an effort to calm myself down and pondered over what he said. I agreed with his point that "we still have time," as Master Yang would likely not immediately unravel the mysteries contained in the book he obtained. Therefore, we could make good use of this time.
However, I couldn't quite grasp what he meant by opportunity, so I asked, "What do you mean by opportunity?"
"I think you might be overcomplicating the issue again; that's one of your shortcomings," Li Zhisheng replied. "Since Master Yang and his team have gone along with the flow and played along with your act to deceive you into obtaining the Divine Anomalies Classic, can't we also go with the flow and take advantage of the fact that the Slaughter Path has no Void Spirit within it, making it less detectable by Master Yang?"
Now I understood Li Zhisheng's intention. "You mean to ask Mo Shu to send someone to scout Master Yang's movements and see what they are really up to?"
I sighed. Indeed, I had been overthinking the problem. Coupled with the extraordinary strength of the Sun Warrior Leader, I had temporarily lost my fighting spirit and rationality. If only I could possess Li Zhisheng's ability to simplify things, I would be able to tackle more issues.
As I was lost in thought, Death Apostle slowly got off the bed and said, "I'm afraid things won't go so smoothly... I wonder if you all remember Haoyang. He can not only conceal his Void Spirit but also hide the aura emitted by his own soul. Even he couldn't escape the eyes of Master Yang's higher-ups, let alone Master Yang himself. Do you really think Slaughter Path can achieve that?"
