Chapter 202

~7 min read 1,253 words

"Are you unaware of the rumors that have spread recently?"

Feng Quji said.

Donghuang Taiyi did not reply, but the aura on his body increased by a few points.

Feeling the oppressive aura on his body,

Feng Quji also knew that this person in front of him seemed to have no more patience.

"The ghost released news."

"He has already investigated the next true culprit of five years ago."

"Three days later, he will personally resolve that true culprit."

"Do you say he investigated that the true culprit is you, or me? Or someone else?"

A cold smile carried on the corner of Feng Quji's mouth.

After hearing Feng Quji's words, Donghuang Taiyi's eyes turned cold.

During this period, in order to reduce the traces of the Yin-Yang School,

he had not sent people out to inquire about news.

Yet he did not expect that such a major event had occurred in Xianyang City.

The ghost actually released news saying he had already found the next true culprit.

Looking at what he meant, it seemed he had not leaked who the next true culprit was.

"What you said is true."

Donghuang Taiyi asked.

"Absolutely true."

"The news has likely already spread throughout the entire Xianyang City."

"Do you say the ghost is trying to flush us out?"

Feng Quji was somewhat suspicious.

Regarding Feng Quji's words, Donghuang Taiyi was the first to deny it.

"With his character, he is not such a person."

"If this news is truly released by the ghost,"

"then it means the ghost must already have accurate evidence."

Donghuang Taiyi's brows also furrowed.

Because he also was not sure who the evidence on the ghost's side pointed to.

If the evidence he investigated pointed to the Yin-Yang School,

with his current strength, he could not protect the members of the Yin-Yang School at all.

This was the point Donghuang Taiyi felt was somewhat tricky.

That person was unwilling to take action.

There was simply no one who was the ghost's opponent.

If the ghost truly investigated the Yin-Yang School,

Donghuang Taiyi's eyes deepened.

Even if it meant fighting to the death, he had to make that person take action personally to confront the ghost.

"Then what do we do now?"

"Are we really going to sit and wait for death?"

Feng Quji's gaze looked at Donghuang Taiyi, pointing for him to come up with an idea.

Donghuang Taiyi fell into contemplation.

Wanting to make that person take action was not a simple matter either.

Moreover, he did not even know where that person's whereabouts were now.

So the final method was to place it on that person.

Now he had to think of a countermeasure to deal with the ghost.

Although they did not know who the ghost's target was,

this was not entirely without disadvantages.

At least it could make these people all unite together.

Because they were afraid,

afraid that the ghost's target was themselves.

"You go back first, at the latest tomorrow I will tell you the news."

Donghuang Taiyi let Feng Quji leave first.

He had to unite all the forces of these people together.

Feng Quji also sensed that Donghuang Taiyi seemed to have something to do.

After nodding, he left Donghuang Taiyi's courtyard.

As soon as he left, Donghuang Taiyi's figure had already disappeared from the courtyard.

Wang Fu,

Wang Ben naturally also heard the news that was known to everyone in Xianyang City during the day.

When he first learned the news, his expression had already changed.

But in order not to let his father see any clues, he could only pretend to be calm.

Late at night, in the study.

Wang Ben sat quietly in the study alone.

He was thinking of a countermeasure.

If the ghost's target was him, what should he do?

But no matter how he thought about it, there was absolutely no chance of living.

The ghost's strength was too terrifying.

Facing the ghost, it was no different from throwing an egg against a rock.

"You should have also heard the news that spread in Xianyang City during the day."

Just when Wang Ben was unable to extricate himself from his own thoughts, a cold and low voice suddenly rang in his ears.

This voice made Wang Ben break out in a cold sweat all over his body.

Turning his head, he discovered a pitch-black figure sitting opposite him in his study.

The figure was completely hidden in the candlelight, appearing somewhat dim and unclear.

"Why did you come over?"

Wang Ben's voice was somewhat agitated.

He had almost forgotten about this man in black.

If the man in black cooperated with him, the chance of living would likely be a few points higher.

"Naturally, to discuss this matter with you."

"Regarding the ghost's news, we also do not know who his target is."

"Currently, we can only unite to resist the ghost together."

Donghuang Taiyi said.

"Are there others behind you?"

Wang Ben immediately captured the key point in Donghuang Taiyi's words.

He had originally thought that only he and this man in black had participated in the events of five years ago.

But listening to this man in black's tone,

it seemed that those who participated in the events of five years ago were definitely not just the two of them.

"Do you think that matter could have proceeded so smoothly?"

"Could it be achieved by just a few forces alone?"

A cold smile appeared on Donghuang Taiyi's face, as if laughing at Wang Ben's shallowness.

Wang Ben snorted coldly.

"At this time, there is no need to hide anything anymore."

"Since everyone participated in the events of five years ago, it means we have a common enemy."

"Why not just gather together, be frank and open, and discuss the grand plan to deal with the ghost together?"

Wang Ben's eyes flickered.

He really wanted to know who else had participated in the events of five years ago.

Donghuang Taiyi felt that this was indeed an idea.

If they continued to disperse, they would only be defeated one by one by the person behind them.

The best way was to gather together.

"Tomorrow night at the hour of the rat, the courtyard."

After setting the time and place, Donghuang Taiyi's figure disappeared from Wang Ben's study.

Originally, such matters did not require him to personally contact these people.

But at this critical moment,

perhaps the ghost's people were already hidden in the dark, observing their movements.

If they leaked out at this time, they would likely be caught by the ghost's side immediately.

So at this time, Donghuang Taiyi himself could only come personally to contact these people.

At least those hidden in the dark would not be able to discover his figure so easily.

Donghuang Taiyi did not choose to go back, but headed straight for the Xianyang City Imperial Palace.

In his mind, a plan had already appeared.

But to complete that plan, Huhai should play a good role in it.

The next step was to contact Huhai.

Huhai naturally had not heard the rumors in Xianyang City.

But because Ying Zheng had been in a bad mood recently,

he had not been able to follow Ying Zheng to continue handling government affairs.

Huhai was still secretly plotting how to eliminate Fusu.

During this period, Fusu's palace had always been guarded by heavy troops, and even he could not get in.

Because of Xu Qi's admonition, Huhai could only temporarily suppress his thoughts.
