Indeed, Shi Bingzhi was currently troubled by how to seize the compass within a month.
But he had yet to devise any method of attack.
Although he didn't know how Yu Daohen knew his plan and wanted to hand over the compass to him.
This was a good thing for him!
At times, he also wondered if his memory had been tampered with, but Old You had also said that his memory had not been tampered with.
Seeing Shi Bingzhi remain silent, Yu Daohen's lips curved upwards.
He understood the effect of the蛊虫 (gu worm).
The order he had given was to open the entrance to hell three months later.
And Shi Bingzhi's memory modification had to revolve around this command.
But Yu Daohen discovered that this 蛊虫 had a fatal weakness, which was the command.
Shi Bingzhi had to modify his memory to forget about the 蛊虫 to deceive the Divine Phoenix Sect.
But memory modification also had to revolve around his command.
This was unchangeable.
Shi Bingzhi wanted to open the entrance to hell a month later, but he didn't know why he wanted to open it a month later.
"Why are you doing this?" Shi Bingzhi asked, confused.
Yu Daohen shook his head and smiled, "You don't need to know why I'm doing this. My goal is the same as yours, which is to open the entrance to hell a month later. I will give you the compass in ten days. As for how you explain it to Shen Fengqing, that's your business."
"I understand."
Shi Bingzhi stood up and prepared to leave.
Indeed, whatever Yu Daohen wanted to do, and whatever his purpose, it was his business.
And he had to open the entrance to hell a month later.
This point could not change!
As Shi Bingzhi walked to the door, Yu Daohen suddenly spoke, "Your soul has already dissipated, and you will die completely when the time comes."
Shi Bingzhi stopped, did not look back, and said, "I know."
Seeing that Shi Bingzhi knew, Yu Daohen hesitated for a moment and asked, "A person has three souls and seven spirits. As long as one of your souls or spirits remains, I will find something to nourish your soul!"
Hearing this, Shi Bingzhi couldn't help but turn to look at Yu Daohen.
Yu Daohen's eyes were serious at this moment, and he didn't seem to be joking.
Seeing Shi Bingzhi's suspicious expression, Yu Daohen said sternly, "I'm serious!"
Shi Bingzhi hesitated for a moment and said, "I have two souls and four spirits somewhere."
As soon as he said this, Yu Daohen's face was filled with joy, and he immediately asked, "Where?"
Seeing Yu Daohen's relieved and joyful expression, Shi Bingzhi was certain that he was sincere.
But why was this?
Clearly, this arm of his had been severed by him.
"Far away, yet close at hand."
After speaking, Shi Bingzhi said no more and turned to leave.
What he was thinking was not necessary for him to know.
Watching Shi Bingzhi's retreating back, Yu Daohen fell into silence.
He knew that even if he pressed Shi Bingzhi, he would not tell him.
However, as long as there was hope, he would definitely be able to keep his soul from dissipating.
Next, he had to plan how to seize the compass.
Six days passed in a flash.
Yu Daohen packed his things and prepared to head northeast.
He was still in a coma in everyone's eyes.
And what he needed to do was to steal the compass.
Upon arriving in Jilin, Yu Daohen had already greeted Old Master Hui.
To avoid suspicion, Yu Daohen went directly to the Hui family's territory.
Inside Old Master Hui's mansion.
Yu Daohen had already changed his clothes and was ready to act that night.
Old Master Hui, who was beside him, took a sip of his tea and warned, "Among the Five Great Immortal Families, the Liu family is the strongest. Be careful!"
Yu Daohen nodded and smiled, "Old Master Hui, with my current strength, as long as Old Madam Liu doesn't make a move, I should be able to retreat safely."
Old Master Hui nodded.
With Yu Daohen's current strength, there was indeed no need to worry too much.
Moreover, he had already notified those few people, and they should not make a move.
As dusk fell.
Yu Daohen stood up to leave, "Old Master Hui, it's almost time."
Old Master Hui nodded and walked towards the outside of the mansion, "Follow me."
Yu Daohen nodded and followed Old Master Hui out of the mansion.
Upon opening the door, he saw thousands of rats gathered outside the residence.
Looking at these thousands of rats, Yu Daohen was full of confusion, "Old Master Hui, what is this?"
Old Master Hui smiled faintly, then looked at the thousand rats and waved his hand, "Little ones, begin!"
The rats quickly dug a hole.
Old Master Hui looked at Yu Daohen again and smiled, "It's probably impossible to break through head-on now, so we can only go underground."
Hearing this, Yu Daohen couldn't quite believe it.
Although it wasn't far from the compass guarded by the Liu family, it was at least ten kilometers away. With these little fellows, how long would that take?
However, seeing Old Master Hui's confident demeanor, Yu Daohen immediately walked to the entrance of the hole to check.
He saw that a passage had already been dug out at some point.
"So fast!"
Yu Daohen was slightly surprised.
Old Master Hui behind him reminded him again, "Be careful with everything. If you encounter danger, report my name!"
Yu Daohen nodded, then leaped down.
Upon landing, Yu Daohen took out a flashlight to illuminate the way.
He saw that these little fellows had already dug a hundred meters ahead.
Yu Daohen followed.
These little fellows were clearly divided into tasks, digging forward one after another.
And Yu Daohen followed behind them.
After digging for an unknown amount of time, the ground ahead suddenly loosened, and a ray of moonlight shone down.
Yu Daohen walked over, then looked up, only to realize that he was in a dry well.
Seeing that their task was completed, these little rats began to return.
Yu Daohen cupped his hands in gratitude, "Thank you for your hard work."
In a short while, these little fellows had already run away and disappeared.
Only one little rat remained, its eyes darting around.
Seeing this, Yu Daohen smiled faintly, squatted down, stroked the little rat's head, and said with a smile, "Little one, are you too tired?"
The little rat seemed to understand what Yu Daohen was saying, shook its little head, and chirped.
Hearing this, Yu Daohen frowned slightly, not understanding what the little fellow meant, and said, "Do you have something you want to tell me?"
The little rat nodded, then jumped onto Yu Daohen's shoulder.
Seeing this situation, Yu Daohen was about to say that it was very dangerous to follow him, but then he suddenly thought of something and asked, "Did Old Master Hui ask you to follow me?"
The little rat nodded repeatedly, and Yu Daohen smiled faintly, "Alright, if you encounter any danger, go and tell Old Master Hui immediately."
The little rat chirped twice, then nodded.
Yu Daohen stroked its little head again, then looked at the well opening, exerted force with his feet, and leaped up.
Upon reaching the top, he found himself in the backyard, with no one around.
Yu Daohen was about to take out his map to check when the little rat on his shoulder chirped, and its little paw pointed in a direction.
