He inclined his ear slightly to check, confirmed the person was still in the wall and hadn't run, so he did not move and continued to wait.

Huang Yingying, who was hiding in the soil layer, also listened closely. After confirming there was no pursuit, she quickly picked up the Mother-child Talisman and urgently appealed to Shi Chun for help, truly unsure of what to do.

At this moment, beside Shi Chun hiding under the mountain, a mass of red mist invisible to the naked eye came with a red line to Shi Chun's side. The red line, like a flash of light, merged into the red mist, suddenly transformed into a human shape, and appeared standing beside Shi Chun.

The newcomer was none other than Yu Xuanbing. Upon receiving Shi Chun's communiqué, he sought him out using the Divine Splitting Technique and immediately harnessed his Divine Skills to quickly flash to Shi Chun's side.

Shi Chun had noticed earlier but still put on a surprised and wary look, acting it out.

Seeing it was him, he expressed a look of relief.

Inside the deep mansion, the Red-clothed Woman felt far from relaxed. Although others couldn't see the red mist approaching Shi Chun, her domain sensed its surge and quickly traced along the red line to lock onto the source within the Commander Mansion, locking onto Yu Xuanbing who was meditating cross-legged inside the room.

Initially, she didn't know what this thing was, couldn't understand its significance.

When Yu Xuanbing suddenly disappeared and instantaneously transferred along the red line to appear beside Shi Chun, like a teleportation, she abruptly opened her eyes wide.

No longer able to lie down, she abruptly sat up, with eyes full of astonishment and murmured to herself, "Divine Splitting Skill, someone actually knows this technique...," she paused, suddenly recalled something, when she detected Shi Chun had gone to the Netherworld years ago, she had been slightly suspicious it was an illusion, now it seemed to inversely confirm something, a name blurted out, "Yu Xuanbing!"

At this moment, she was truly shocked!

Now she was certain Shi Chun had indeed gone to the Netherworld.

Whether he had just gone or could go anytime, she still needed further confirmation.

She just couldn't understand how many significant secrets Shi Chun truly held, were they all the handiwork of that Prison Chief?

She had long suspected Shi Chun's background related to that Prison Chief, later, Shi Chun being held for so many years without release made her think she had misjudged, but then Shi Chun's release came with more and more remarkable measures, causing her suspicion again.

The problem was, until now, she couldn't find an iota of connection between Shi Chun and that Prison Chief, except for the solitary proof of Shi Chun being rescued by Life Prison at the execution ground, despite finding no further corroborative trace till now.

Those around the Prison Chief seemed to have no contact with Shi Chun whatsoever, and there wasn't even a hint of any such sign.

She often doubted herself, but without someone supporting in the shadows, how could such events happen, for instance right now, how could this rascal enter and exit the Netherworld, and summon Yu Xuanbing? Such feats are not achievable by ordinary people.

Yet this precisely proves Shi Chun might not be related to that Prison Chief.

If it really were the handiwork of that Prison Chief, with her sleeping in the same bed as Shi Chun for so long, the Prison Chief couldn't not know of her existence, Shi Chun wouldn't have exposed so many crucial secrets under her nose.

Now she was truly confounded.

Unable to fathom, she could only set it aside temporarily, continue to close her eyes and rest, continue observing as a bystander.

Previously she didn't want to act against those thirty thousand Unity Worms, just wanted to watch, but some people should never have traced it back to her, she didn't want her private relationship with Shi Chun exposed, nor wanted her worldly little haven with Shi Chun involved, it housed some human-world decorations, commonly known as furniture.

Not killing the Black Nanny under Luo Xian'er was restraint befitting a bystander, Li Hongjiu's fate back then was far worse than hers.

The small house Shi Chun was hiding in was one he built for introducing population for free, the owner was not home at the time, temporarily borrowed by him without permission.

Yu Xuanbing appearing beside him asked, "What's the matter?"

Shi Chun tilted his head toward Yuling Mountain outside the window, "The Illusion Demon King Bai Sheng is here, that damn thing came for me, using Illusion Technique to impersonate me to deceive and cheat on the mountain, simply outrageous, if we can muddle through this time, fine, if not, I'll activate the grand formation to seal him on the mountain, assassination is your forte, help me kill him!"

Upon these words, the Red-clothed Woman lying down in the mansion again opened her eyes, really wanted to ask Shi Chun if he knew what he was saying, how he dared utter such words, a dignified Demon King is not someone you can casually kill?

But then she thought, with this rascal's setup, just because his helper is Yu Xuanbing, taking an unconventional path, there indeed lies the possibility of killing Bai Sheng.

Just from Shi Chun's words "assassination is your forte," she already confirmed the one using 'Divine Splitting Skill' was indeed the Yu Xuanbing who fled into the Netherworld all those years ago.

The top individual assassin Yu Xuanbing, who operated solo eight hundred years ago, was actually in service to Shi Chun? Thinking about it seemed quite absurd to her.

Upon hearing the assassination target was Bai Sheng, Yu Xuanbing pondered, "Bai Sheng's cultivation reached Heavenly Immortal Upper realm eight hundred years ago, approaching him without being discovered, I don't have much confidence, I am not his match from a distance."

Shi Chun said, "Should anything arise, I will think of a way to distract him, to create an opening for you to act, if it cannot be resolved, don't force it, his life isn't worth jeopardizing ours over, just do your best."

Before his words settled, Huang Yingying's message arrived, he picked it up and glanced at it, immediately filled with excitement, ignoring Huang Yingying's complaints, eyes only showed excitement over Huang Yingying's Demon Eyes countering Bai Sheng, capturing a big fish!

No wonder it was cultivated from the Beidou Demon Book, the supreme in the Demon Realm of years past, he just wanted to seize the opportunity to test it, thinking Jin Zhan's Cultivation Technique should not be weak, didn't expect it to succeed!

He swiftly paced back and forth in contemplation, repeatedly checked the message several times, ultimately gave Yu Xuanbing a wicked smile, "That damn Manor Master doesn't need us to take risks fighting him, the right target delivered itself."

Yu Xuanbing naturally knew who the 'damn Manor Master' was, wasn't it the Manor Master of Green Rong Manor, Mu Anchang he was watching, after his exposure here, must have alarmed related Demon Path, having someone capable of restraining him, he wasn't fit to take further risk.

Shi Chun didn't expect even with Yu Xuanbing's Divine Skills it would alert and defend against the Demon Path, he was also worried Mu Anchang would turn into bait, recently contemplating how to appropriately make a move.

Wanting the Gong family to cover up for him, it's not simply about capturing or killing someone, not achieved by directly catching to threaten the Gong family, he knew those people were from the Demon Path and didn't report them, who threatens whom? The subtlety involved here is hard to grasp.

Planning to leverage Yu Xuanbing's Divine Skills to maneuver, only for the Demon Path to possess the ability to extinguish this avenue, plus spooked them, was struggling with it, unexpectedly a loophole presented itself.

Yu Xuanbing also realized something, "You want Bai Sheng's help?"
