“What does this have to do with me?” My face darkened as soon as I spoke.

Ling knew that in some situations, I couldn’t make up my mind, so she said for me, “Li Po, actually, you know very well in your heart.”

“This is a Yang conspiracy set up by the Samsara Sacred Lord.”

“He is forcing you to make a choice between the common people and your loved ones.”

Ling paused and said, “You know very well in your heart that the Yin-Yang Inn’s Five Directions Tomb has already gathered everyone related to the Two Worlds Hall.”

“This time, Old Liu is in charge of commanding the Yin-Yang Inn’s direction. My Tianji Society and Chen Shuyu’s Ghost Eyes are all under Old Liu’s command. Although he seems to be doing nothing, he is actually collecting a large amount of intelligence about the Yin-Yang Inn.”

“He will soon be able to analyze the characteristics of the five regions of the Yin-Yang Inn and arrange corresponding manpower.”

“The five of us being in the Dark Domain might just be a coincidence.”

“However, Commander Li Chunfeng and Senior Qu Mo will definitely go directly to the Ghost Domain; that is their home turf.”

“If Butcher Wang and Feng Ruoxing take Nie Xiaochun into the Five Directions Tomb, Old Liu will have them choose the Demon Domain. Although Butcher Wang and Feng Ruoxing are extraordinary masters in the martial world, they are still not a match for top-notch gods and demons.”

“However, the Tumen Sect masters are best at slaying demons, so they are safest only if they enter the Demon Domain.”

“Old Liu will soon discover the secret of the Yin-Yang Inn. He will try his best to bring Jiang Chen and the others into the Devil Domain. With Old Liu’s planning there, Jiang Chen, Ying Gou, and the Black Night Owl together are enough to sweep through the Devil Domain.”

“The Thief Domain, I’m afraid, has already fallen into Zhao Yuezhu’s control.”

“Is the Yin-Yang Inn full of people from the Two Worlds Hall?”

Hearing this, I could only nod silently.

Ling said, “Most of the people in our Two Worlds Hall don’t know the secret of the Five Directions Tomb. Once they are trapped in the space where the Five Directions Tomb is located, what will you choose?”

“Will you watch them die, or choose to open the Five Directions Tomb and let people out?”

Ling pointed to the tomb door in the distance and said, “If the Five Directions Tomb were just an independent tomb, it would be better. I’m afraid that the Five Directions Tomb is something similar to a ‘Five Stars Linked Lock’. Opening one tomb will cause the other four to open in succession.”

“In that case, you will inevitably have to make a choice.”

“It is impossible for each of our five groups of people to overcome all obstacles and achieve complete victory.”

“If one of the groups is lost, what should we do?”

For a moment, I didn’t know how to respond to Ling’s question.

You must know that what we are facing is not only the many experts of the Yin-Yang Inn, but also Jiang Chen and the Samsara Bureau.

We are attacked from three sides, and the enemy is strong while we are weak.

Now, I wouldn’t be surprised if someone told me that one of the groups in the Two Worlds Hall had failed!

Even if Butcher Wang and the others didn’t fall into the tomb space, what if they fell into the hands of the Samsara Bureau? Zhu Zining will definitely use them as a threat to force me to open the Five Directions Tomb.

There are too many factors that can push me into a dilemma at the Yin-Yang Inn!

This time, I really fell into a passive position from the start.

If Ling’s deduction comes true, it would be as if God had built a seesaw for me on a cliff. One end is my loved ones, and the other is the world of術 (shu – arts, skills, techniques).

No matter who I push, I can push them to a safe place, but I have to watch the other side fall into the abyss.

How can I choose?

Any choice is reasonable, and any choice is unreasonable.

Any choice has a chance of salvation, and any choice will bring regret.

This kind of choice is probably difficult even for a saint to make, right?

Ling saw that I was silent for a long time and said again to the Blue Shirt Thief kneeling in the distance, “Why haven’t you left yet? Go! Leave here as soon as possible, find Zhao Yuezhu, and take her away from here.”

The Blue Shirt Thief looked at Ling with a complicated expression, stood up, and left in a hurry.

After a while, he ran back again, holding a blood-stained piece of clothing in his hand. The Blue Shirt Thief spread the clothing on the ground, revealing a map on it, and said, “This is a route map I just drew. It can help you reach the other four regions, but I can’t guarantee what dangers you will encounter on the road. Farewell!”

The Blue Shirt Thief left as soon as he said he would, and disappeared from my sight in a few flashes.
