Something was wrong!
Even Cao Xie had failed to see through the disguise. What gave Cao Zhi the right to see through it?
This man was bluffing him!
Realizing this, Chen Sanshi forcibly stopped himself from raising his eyes, pretending he had not heard those calls at all.
He could feel a pair of eyes lingering on him for quite some time before slowly moving away.
"How was it?"
In a corner of the warship, a Guiyuan Sect Disciple said, "Junior Brother Cao, was that man Chen Lei?"
Cao Zhi withdrew his gaze from the Qingxu Sect Daoist sitting cross-legged, took a piece of fruit from his robes, bit into it, and said unhurriedly, "Who knows?"
"Even Elder Cao did not notice anything. It probably was not a disguise."
Baili Zhe muttered, "But why did Elder Rong tell us to pay extra attention to this man? Should we find another way to test him?"
"No need to test him."
Cao Zhi tossed the half-eaten fruit down from the air and clapped his hands. "Elder Rong's meaning is simple: better to kill the wrong one than let the right one go. Whether he is my elder brother or not, we just need to find an opportunity to deal with him."
"It will not be that easy, will it?"
Baili Zhe lowered his voice. "When they were surrounded earlier, I observed that this man's cultivation was no weaker than yours or mine."
"I say, Senior Brother Baili."
Cao Zhi patted his shoulder. "What are you afraid of? Am I not here?"
This junior brother of Baili Zhe's had an extraordinarily formidable background. He was a descendant highly valued by Heavenly Slaughter True Lord.
His trip to Dragon Elephant City was partly to obtain the Core Formation Spirit Material, Jade Dew of Creation,
