Chapter 1122 - 933: Caught a Big Fish in the Net

Late at night, the red-clothed woman who was feigning sleep on the bed in the deep mansion twitched her brows, knotting into a tangled mess.

Her domain had already spread out, and she knew exactly where Shi Chun was, realizing from his direction that Shi Chun was headed to Yuling Mountain.

What puzzled her was why Shi Chun had stopped so stealthily at the foot of the mountain. Wasn't Yuling Mountain his territory? There must be a reason, so she focused more intently on Yuling Mountain within her domain.

Unfortunately, no matter how high a person's cultivation is, their energy is limited; at least, this was true for her current power. She couldn't scatter her focus across every person and every thing in such a large city, so her attention either had to be concentrated or selective.

Of course, paying a bit of attention to a few key figures was still manageable, such as Bai Sheng.

She was very familiar with Bai Sheng's aura. No matter how great his illusion techniques were, once he entered her domain, he wouldn't escape her eyes.

Therefore, she clearly perceived Bai Sheng approaching Yuling Mountain and realized he intended to personally confront Shi Chun, moving with surprising speed.

After Bai Sheng went up the mountain, she was slightly perplexed again.

Initially, she realized Huang Yingying had fallen for Bai Sheng's illusion technique, but as soon as Huang Yingying turned around, Bai Sheng seemed to lose his mind, babbling nonsense.

Then one of them addressed Old Huang as 'Sir,' and the other called Bai Sheng 'Old Chai.' Instantly, the red-clothed woman understood—they were both dramatically performing!

Her furrowed brows and eyes struggled intensely for a while, before she abruptly opened them, revealing clear suspicion and surprise in the reflection of the lonely lamp's light.

She realized a significant issue: Bai Sheng's proud illusion technique had failed, broken by someone who used his own tricks against him. The rat spirit actually overshadowed Bai Sheng in illusion. What was happening?

Of course, she considered another possibility: Bai Sheng might be playing along!

Thus she calmly closed her eyes again, immersing herself in her domain to observe the changes quietly.

And at this time, Bai Sheng respectfully replied to Huang Yingying, "Sir, I discovered Bai Sheng and others' purpose here seems not simple. I inadvertently heard their conversation; it seems they came to investigate the purpose of Feng Xi, Bi Dao, and Luo Xian'er. I cannot speak rashly on the importance of this matter in my communication, so I report in person."

These words evidently intended to evoke discussion.

The reason he came directly for Shi Chun was for this. If he could easily obtain confidential information, there would be no need to capture anyone. If he could not inquire successfully, then he would have to seize the Commander of Dingnan Prefecture for questioning, as this was no trivial matter.

And now, he could not directly ask why Feng Xi and others came here, because he did not know how much Chai Wenwu knew about it, fearing to say something wrong and arouse suspicion.

After hearing this, Huang Yingying couldn't continue the conversation, because he didn't understand and had no way to speak recklessly, so he pretended to have sudden business, raised his hand to stop, "Let me send a message first, we'll talk more later."

After speaking, he turned and left the cave, pulling out a Mother-child Talisman to communicate with Shi Chun.

Leaving the cave was also to send a message to his pre-arranged clan members, to reassure them with signals.

He had previously informed the arranged clan members that if he failed to come out in time to give them signals, then they would immediately warn Shi Chun, who would promptly deploy the 'Beidou Refusal Array' to trap the entire Yuling Mountain.

The reason for making it so thrilling was also Shi Chun's suggestion.

At such a dangerous juncture, logically, finding a way to avoid conflict would be prudent, but Shi Chun suddenly intended to counter Bai Sheng. Who was Bai Sheng? One of the twelve Great Demon Kings of the Demon Realm, the Illusion Demon King!

It's as if looking for trouble in a cesspool, but Huang Yingying was helpless, Shi Chun insisted on doing it, and he could not resist.

There was compliance, yet also because he was powerless against Shi Chun. Some dominance has nothing to do with strength, but the entire clan is too deeply involved to extricate themselves.

What's speechless was, just as he subconsciously was alert, he found that Bai Sheng, the Demon King, also followed out, shrouded in Xubo in front, evidently supported by illusion.

More outrageously, after approaching, Bai Sheng leaned directly closer to him, trying to peek at his chat content. The regal Demon King behaving like this, it's beyond comprehension.

Unable to resist, Huang Yingying's gaze wished to glance at the other person's face, but with great restraint, he forced himself not to, pretending to be oblivious.

Once again, every time playing with Wu Jinliang was sheer joy, even chatting was delightful, but each time involving Shi Chun, the Master, there were always fresh and thrilling matters to challenge him. This wicked scenario was his first encounter, yet he had no choice but to muster courage and respond with full effort.

Crucially, he could not endure this; he could not let the other party see his conversation with Shi Chun. If seen, all would be futile, possibly implicating the entire clan.

So he began to stride back and forth thoughtfully, walking back and forth, trying to shake off the Demon King.

Yet Bai Sheng was stubbornly fixated on him, relentless shadily, wherever he went, Bai Sheng followed.

After two rounds of wandering, Huang Yingying was at a loss and couldn't possibly keep strolling endlessly, so he acted as if he made a decision and walked straight to a mountain soil section, performing Earth Escape right before Bai Sheng's eyes, burrowing into it.

Thus, forcibly sealing Bai Sheng outside the earthen wall.

Bai Sheng, standing before the earth wall, was slightly dumbfounded, not expecting Shi Chun to also know Earth Escape Skill. Of course, this earthy barrier could not stop him; with a flick, he could break it. But the issue was he hadn't flipped the table yet, so he couldn't break through.
