Chen Shuyu said, "Then you..."

Old Liu said, "The most crucial step in the showdown is now. Only if Xiang Kai and the others snatch the Houqing corpse can we take the initiative. If they don't, Master will be in danger."

"Master proposed using himself as bait. Zero and I originally disagreed, but Master..."

"My Master! I can't even begin to describe him!"

As Old Liu was speaking, Hei Yexiao suddenly appeared beside him and stuffed a flute carved from human bone into Old Liu's hand: "Old Liu, take this. With this bone flute, the ghost gods of Miaojiang will obey your command."

Old Liu stroked the bone flute: "You've decided?"

"Yes, I've decided!" Hei Ye nodded and said, "I have to see Arena. The grudges between us must finally come to an end."

"And the curse of the Feng family!"

"If Lolo were still here, she wouldn't bear to watch her clansmen turn into lunatics."

"Right, and Feng Ruoxing."

"Our Third Head cannot go mad!"

Old Liu said, "What do you need me to do?"

Hei Yexiao laughed: "If I don't come back, leave a place for me in the Zhongyi Hall!"

After Hei Yexiao finished speaking, he jumped into the churning blood waves of the Yanyu Tower and disappeared.

Hei Yexiao couldn't find Houqing's corpse, but he could find Wang Xiaohuan's white lantern.

Before we set off, I had considered having Hei Yexiao arrive at the Yanyu Tower first, seize Houqing's corpse, and open up the situation for us.

However, Old Liu and Zero both rejected my idea.

Their reasoning was: Zhu Ziyan was skilled at bewitching people, and with the assistance of the Nine-Headed Serpent Jade, it would be easy for her to meet Houqing Youxin in the Yanyu Tower.

Houqing Youxin was a wisp of Hei Yexiao's divided consciousness, and he certainly wouldn't betray Hei Yexiao, but no one could guarantee that he wouldn't be severely injured by Zhu Ziyan and lose part of his memory?

Or be controlled by Zhu Ziyan to reveal the secrets of the Yanyu Tower?

Hei Yexiao's rash return was likely a suicidal move.

The facts proved that Houqing Youxin had indeed forgotten a lot of things, and I should be grateful that I didn't let Hei Yexiao return.

While I was waiting for the results, Zhu Zining suddenly said, "Little Li Po, guess what will happen next?"

"I guess Hei Yexiao's men are already fighting the Feng family, and both sides are suffering heavy losses. Feng Ruoxing is either already mad or dead."

"Because, although the Feng family is crazy, they are no match for the entire Miaojiang."

"If Hei Yexiao doesn't return, the Feng family can still kill their way in and out of Miaojiang, but if Hei Yexiao returns, the Feng family will no longer be a match for Miaojiang."

"After the battle between Hei Yexiao and the Feng family, he will definitely come to settle the grudges between him and Arena. So! The second act is about to begin."

I said coldly, "You know that Hei Yexiao is the key to this battle, and you can still set me up? Don't you think you're too arrogant?"

"Haha..." Zhu Zining laughed: "Little Li Po, you don't understand men, especially men in high positions. They won't expose their most desolate and vulnerable side to others, not even their brothers in life and death."

"So I'm sure Hei Yexiao won't tell you about his past in Miaojiang."

"Just now, when you first heard that Houqing Youxin was Hei Yexiao, weren't you also shocked?"

Zhu Zining paused and said, "Of course, you may have been faking your shock. But that's not important."

"Even if you knew Hei Yexiao's secret a long time ago, so what?"

"You have two chances to turn the tables, but you can't grasp either of them. Because you can't concoct the secret medicine that has been lost—Heartless Powder."

"And you didn't let Zero, Cang Tianji, and Su Su take the same path."

"If the three of them take the same path, they can cooperate with each other, let the Feng family march in the rainstorm, use the rainstorm to suppress the Feng family's emotions, and consume their inner strength, so that they can stop the conflict between the two sides in the Yanyu Tower."

"Only Zero is in contact with the Feng family, you can't do this."

"Even if Zero can march in the rainstorm, I will put down poison outside the Yanyu Tower to ensure nothing goes wrong, a poison that can stimulate the Feng family."

"As long as the Feng family enters the Yanyu Tower, they will definitely go crazy. Only if you concoct Heartless Powder can you prevent the Feng family from being poisoned and lead them out of trouble."

"Unfortunately, there is no wind in the Yanyu Tower. How will you spread Heartless Powder? With human lives? Haha... tell me, do you still have a chance to turn the tables?"

When Zhu Zining said this, Cang Tianji and I couldn't help but smile at each other.

We have not only done Zhu Zining's assumptions, but also more perfect than she thought.

When Arena saw the smile on my face, she immediately shouted, "Zhu Zining, your trap has been seen through by them, go back and take a look at the Yanyu Tower."

Zhu Zining laughed: "Saint Arena, you are too sensitive. They can't turn the tables."

Before Zhu Zining's laughter could fade, a sound like a flood discharge came from the ground. An immeasurable amount of floodwater was pouring down from somewhere to the underground.

Zhu Zining exclaimed, "Why is there water rushing down? Above..."
