Within the River of Forgetfulness, Chen Mu glared at Lu Liang with a dark expression.
"So you planned to drag me into this from the very beginning?"
Lu Liang looked embarrassed. In the end, he could not hold back any longer and came to explain everything to Chen Mu.
His old man had already completed Yin God Transformation and returned to the Netherworld. He had no desire to head to the perilous Outer Heaven.
"Mainly because your Thousand Lantern City Cave Heaven is hidden and safe. At first, we planned to hide inside it, so Qingyang City would basically never notice us."
"But we never expected you to suddenly disappear. We could only take a risk and activate the second plan—using all of Feng'an City as bait to hold back Qingyang City and ensure our own safety."
"I just never expected..."
"You never expected me to come running back and plunge headfirst into the mess that is Feng'an City!" Chen Mu's expression turned ugly.
Qingyang City's spy, Shen Bu, had clearly used a secret technique to send him away, yet he had eagerly run right back into trouble.
Seriously...
No wonder most of the calculations from the Nine Cups Calculation Scripture had been dangerous. This really was dangerous enough.
"That Shen Bu—you didn't do anything to him, did you?" Chen Mu asked.
Honestly, he ought to thank those spies. Their original intention had been to help him stay away from trouble.
"No, no. Those men are quite capable. I had intended to keep them and put them to good use." Lu Liang hurriedly waved his hands.
Chen Mu let out a sigh.
Though the chain of events had been complicated and his feelings were difficult to put into words, he was ultimately relieved.
The conflict between Qingyang and Feng'an Cities
