In the depths of the Four Symbols Secret Realm, an eerie harmony unfoldedâwhere well water intruded upon river water, yet the boundary between them remained distinct.
âElder Cen, I have a plan that can help you in your moment of crisis,â Yue Gongli said, resembling a hunting leopard chasing after the saint calamity.
âSpeak!â Cen Qiaofu replied impatiently.
Yue Gongli sighed, sensing that the old man was still reluctant to trust him. Nevertheless, he telepathically conveyed the seamless details of his plan.
Cen Qiaofu halted, and turned around, his eyes revealing a hint of curiosity.
âWhy arenât you running? Whatâs the holdup?â Yue Gongli chuckled, not through telepathy this time, and the red- and white-clothed people outside the saint calamity also heard.
âYouâre really annoying!â Cen Qiaofu retorted coldly.
âMerely because Iâve seen through your intentions, and now you canât bear it? Your actions are too conspicuous. Isnât your mission to disrupt the Divine Array
Eye?â
âWhat of it? Does it matter?â
âYouâre trying to delay me! Youâve succeeded, but Iâm not Wei An. Indeed, I donât want to face the saint calamity againâŠâ Yue Gongli squinted his eyes, looking up at the sky. âBut how long can you keep this up?â
As the calamity reached its climax, Cen Qiaofuâs responses grew strained, his movements sluggish.
âYou are on the brink of death, just unaware!â Yue Gongli leaped out of the midst of the intense saint calamity and landed above a swamp. His lips curled into a sly smile:
âPerhaps you intend to make a final struggle after being sanctified, like a trapped beast.â
âBut how do you know that I only have three Divine Array Wheels on me?â Cen Qiaofu was taken aback, his actions visibly stiffened.
Yue Gongli slipped his hand into his sleeve, neither withdrawing it nor producing another Divine Array Wheel.
Yue Gongli merely squinted his fox-like eyes, calmly addressing the Old Woodcutter braving the tribulation, âIf I were to tell you that, just as youâre about to be sanctified, Iâll cast a Great Shielding Technique on you, sending you back to the higher void, and then make my move against youâŠâ
âAt that time, what will you do?â
Sacred Mountain Gui Zhe.
The Heavenly Groupâs operational channel was constantly buzzing with updates.
Dao Qiongcang calmly dealt with each and every message.
Reports from his Dark Division members had already alerted him to the peculiar situation in the Four Symbols Secret RealmâYue Gongli was suspected of communicating with Cen Qiaofu, but the content remained unknown.
âWhatâs your take on Yue Gongli?â Dao Qiongcang turned to Ai Cangsheng beside him.
âA vagabond,â Ai Cangsheng replied succinctly.
âOh? Does that mean I shouldnât use him?â
âNot my call. Donât impose your decision on me; decide for yourself.â
âHehâŠâ Dao Qiongcang chuckled and stopped discussing the matter. Instead, he activated the inter-dimensional Divine Communicator and solemnly conveyed, âYue Gongli, rumor has it that youâre colluding with a Saint Servant.â
Yue Gongli, in the Four Symbols Secret Realm, stiffened at once, scanning his surroundings.
He even released his saintâs will, extending it to all four corners of the land.
Nothing seemed amiss.
No one, no divine crafts or beings, was staring at him. Dao Qiongcangâs presence was not present, and the Eyes of the Great Path did not focus on himâŠ
âWhoâs spouting nonsense?â Yue Gongliâs response carried suppressed anger.
âItâs me,â Dao Qiongcang replied calmly.
âYou
âI guessed.â
âDao Qiongcang, have you lost your mind? Making wild guesses here! Tell me, did you plant something near me, or is there an issue with this Divine Communicator in my hand? Just you wait, Iâll crush it right nowâŠâ
âIf there was something wrong with it, you wouldâve crushed it already. But your response, indeed, raises questions.â Dao Qiongcang was indifferent. âConfess, or do you wish to struggle?â
ââŠElder Dao the Flamboyant, Iâm employing tactics!â
âThen enlighten me. What tactics are you using?â
âDo you even understand tactics? If I told you, would it still even work?â Yue Gongli sneered. âJust know this: I wonât betray the Saint Servant⊠No, I mean, the Holy Divine Palace⊠Hehe, slip of the tongue.â
Inside the Saint Hall of Sacred Mountain Gui Zhe.
Dao Qiongcang glanced at the puzzled Ai Cangsheng, who couldnât hear the conversation. Straightening his back, Dao Qiongcangâs expression turned cold.
âSlip of the tongue, or straight from the heart?â
âHeh, Elder Dao the Flamboyant, I was just joking with you. Youâre not taking it seriously, are you? You canât be, right?â Yue Gongliâs transmission carried a tone of exaggerated surprise. âYou actually believed it!â
âYou better remember, youâre joking now.â Dao Qiongcang was very serious.
âAre you warning me?â
âYou could interpret it that way.â
âElder Dao, youâve truly hurt my feelingsâŠâ
Yue Gongliâs voice carried a hint of lament. âI joined the Heavenly Group, at your service, willingly taking a subordinate role, attending to your every need. I was devoted with unwavering loyalty, and what were you doing all this time? You were doubting me!â
Yue Gongliâs voice grew louder. âTrust those you use, and donât use those you suspect. Do you understand this principle, Dao Qiongcang?â
Dao Qiongcang remained silent for a while.
He moved the communicator away and blocked it with Holy Power before turning to Ai Cangsheng with a smile, resuming their interrupted conversation.
âHe told me to trust those I use and not to suspect them.â
Ai Cangsheng maintained his gaze on the sky, nodding silently without expressing any opinion.
Dao Qiongcangâs expression turned solemn again as he brought the communicator closer, saying coldly, âRemember what you just said.â
âElder Dao the Flamboyant, IâŠâ
Yue Gongli was about to launch into a lengthy complaint when Dao Qiongcang interrupted, âGive me a laugh.â
âHuh?â
âLaugh.â
There was no response on the other end of the communication device.
After a momentâs pause, Dao Qiongcang disconnected the communication.
As he expected, the communicator started vibrating madly, as Yue Gongli repeatedly attempted to reconnect..
