Chapter 1124 - 934: Maybe There Is, Maybe There Isn't

Shi Chun did not explain much to the old assassin; he had new ideas and urgently needed to solve them personally.

"We'll talk later, you wait here. Oh, by the way, this is someone else's place, don't disturb the homeowner." Shi Chun left these words and ran off, his Mother-child Talisman also returned Huang Yingying's message, saying he was going up the mountain and asked her to arrange support.

After the two communicated the details remotely, Huang Yingying, who had made arrangements, used her Escape Technique and emerged from within the earth wall.

As soon as she appeared, she saw Bai Sheng waiting outside. She had to pretend not to have seen through their Illusion Technique, blindly walking toward the secret meeting point's cave entrance.

While secretly guessing with whom Bai Sheng, who had been hiding in the earth wall, was secretly communicating, she also became busy. She swiftly passed Huang Yingying, returning to the secret meeting cave, and merged once more with the impersonated 'Chai Wenwu'.

According to Shi Chun's instructions, Huang Yingying let Bai Sheng answer questions, "Old Chai, describe the situation after the Demon King Bai Sheng left the mountain in detail."

Speaking like this was actually to buy Shi Chun more time.

Bai Sheng was slightly taken aback, but he began to recount based on facts, neither lying nor needing to lie in this aspect.

Halfway through, footsteps suddenly sounded outside, followed by a voice calling, "Sir."

Huang Yingying quickly turned and left, hurriedly exiting the cave.

Outside the cave, cloaked Shi Chun had already arrived. As Huang Yingying came out, Shi Chun immediately removed his cloak, and while pretending to converse closely with Huang Yingying, they switched positions discreetly.

At this moment, Huang Yingying also adjusted his Demon Eyes Illusion Technique, from now on, in others' eyes, he was Huang Yingying, no longer needing to pose as Shi Chun because Shi Chun himself was already there.

The two of them executed a crude switching maneuver right under the Illusion Demon King's nose.

When Huang Yingying saw Shi Chun's arrangement through the Mother-child Talisman, he was somewhat terrified; the thrill was wave after wave, each more exciting than the last, truly not treating the Demon King as a king.

At the moment of exchange, he was extremely nervous, constantly looking back.

Just as they completed the swap, a breath later, Bai Sheng's faint true form emerged slightly, peering outside, or rather, spying.

This meant that if the two had been a bit late in switching identities, they might have been exposed.

As Huang Yingying presented an item to Shi Chun, he secretly signaled Shi Chun with his eyes, hinting at what was behind him.

Actually, he opposed Shi Chun acting this way because he didn't know Shi Chun could also break the Illusion Technique, fearing that Shi Chun facing Bai Sheng was very dangerous.

Therefore, he specifically emphasized Bai Sheng daringly concealed himself using Illusion Technique to boldly spy the message content near him; such an old monster was too terrifying, impossible to guard against, if unable to break the Illusion Technique, sending people near them was akin to seeking death.

Yet Shi Chun persisted, saying he had his plans, and Huang Yingying had no choice but to comply.

Catching Huang Yingying's hint, Shi Chun casually accepted the item he handed over.

From this moment on, Huang Yingying didn't need to handle things for him; he wanted to personally confront Bai Sheng, which was why he suddenly changed his plan to hurry up here.

It wasn't that he undervalued Huang Yingying; in cultivation strength, Huang Yingying was far superior, but some problems couldn't be solved by brute force. With Huang Yingying's current cognitive capability and experience, she indeed couldn't handle Bai Sheng, and some things indeed required Shi Chun personally to resolve, many things Huang Yingying didn't know, and couldn't be explained clearly in a short time.

Although this approach was highly risky, it couldn't be helped; the stakes were too high for anyone else to tackle; it truly required him, personally, to navigate through the dealings.

If not absolutely necessary, he wouldn't risk so much.

The reason he dared to come was seeing Bai Sheng delay with inquiries, not acting directly, giving him a chance to turn the tables.

At the moment, Shi Chun and Huang Yingying, in Bai Sheng's eyes, seemed as if Yingying was coming with something to report to Shi Chun.

Shi Chun also presented a Qiankun Bag to Huang Yingying, which contained the Beidou Refusal Array; he temporarily entrusted this treasure to Huang Yingying's control. If he couldn't control the situation here, if anything unforeseen occurred, Huang Yingying should immediately activate the array to seal Yuling Mountain and then inform Wu Jinliang to contact the Heavenly Court for rescue.

That was his greatest reliance for daring to come; as long as Bai Sheng was trapped, unable to leave, Bai Sheng wouldn't dare lightly attack Shi Chun.

Brazenly attacking a Heavenly Court Official, Shi Chun believed even this Demon King couldn't bear the cost, otherwise these Demon Kings wouldn't bother being low-key and scheming.

Without any risk-defying countermeasure, he wouldn't take the gamble.

After Huang Yingying took the item and withdrew, Shi Chun turned. With his Right Eye Superpower, he saw Bai Sheng's spying head, and he walked boldly into the cave, Bai Sheng quickly recoiling back.

Upon meeting Bai Sheng again within the cave, Shi Chun asked: "Old Chai, how do you think I have treated you?"

Bai Sheng knew only a rough outline of their relationship; he wasn't clear on the specifics. Hence, he didn't dare to say much, fearing exposure, so he retorted ambiguously with a brief reply: "A grace like reincarnation."

Shi Chun nodded slightly, and continued pacing with his hands behind him, saying: "If I said among my retinue, you are actually the one I trust most, would you believe it?"

The red-clothed woman feigning sleep within the deep courtyard couldn't help the twitch at the corner of her mouth, experiencing firsthand what it meant to truly spout nonsense, lying boldly.
