Hu Shu looked at Yang Jian and Nezha and said, "It's not suitable to stay here for a long time. Let's go back to Chaoge first and discuss it in the long run." Nezha and Yang Jian nodded. Agreeing. So, the three of them embarked on the road back to Chaoge with full of thoughts and worries. The night was getting darker, the moonlight shone on them, making their figures longer, and what was waiting for them ahead was the rendezvous with Di Xin, as well as unknown challenges.
Along the way, Hu Shu had a pleasant conversation with Nezha. Hu Shu discovered that Nezha was not only gifted, but also had a profound understanding of cultivation, and had a righteous heart. He was filled with indignation at what Mysterious Faction had done. Nezha was against Hu Shu has long heard about his strength and character, and now that he has been in close contact, he is even more admirable. Hu Shu was moved in his heart, and he intended to take Nezha as his disciple. He said, "Nezha, I think you have very good bones and good conduct. I am willing to take you as my disciple. What do you think?"
When Nezha heard this, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes. He knelt down and kowtowed without hesitation. "Disciple Nezha, pay homage to Master!" Upon seeing this, Hu Shu showed a pleased smile on his face and stretched out his hand to Nezha He helped him up and said, "Okay, from now on, you will be my apprentice. I will definitely give you all I have to help you take a further step forward in Path of Cultivation." Yang Jian looked on, also happy for Nezha, and smiled to congratulate the two on their master-disciple match.
Not long after, the three returned to ZhaoGe City. The gate of the city was heavily guarded. When they saw Hu Shu and others returning, they quickly saluted respectfully. Entering the city, the streets were brightly lit, but there was a tense atmosphere. The people seemed to be aware of the recent strangeness. Often, most of them closed their doors early. Hu Shu and others went straight to the palace of Di Xin. The palace was magnificent, with carved beams and painted buildings, showing its luxury. Di Xin had been waiting here for a long time. When he saw them coming back, he hurriedly greeted them.
Everyone sat down in the palace, and Hu Shu informed Di Xin about accepting Nezha as his disciple. Di Xin smiled and congratulated Hu Shu on getting another disciple. Then, Hu Shu spoke solemnly about the discoveries he made this time, especially the mysterious runes. After hearing this, Di Xin frowned and said, "It seems that there must be a powerful force behind Mysterious Faction, and this rune may be the key to solving the mystery."
Hu Shu nodded and said, "Yes, after discussing with Yang Jian and Nezha, I feel that Chan Sect is most likely behind this Mysterious Faction. They have always been afraid of me supporting Human Race and destroying their layout. This time, they probably want to use this to disrupt our plan to arrange Invincible Domain." After hearing this, everyone looked heavy.
After a brief silence, Hu Shu continued, "Now that the situation is urgent, we must come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible. I think we can divide our forces into two groups. Yang Jian and Nezha continue to talk about Chaoge Look for clues related to the runes around to see if we can find a way to interpret the runes. Di Xin and I will strengthen the defense in ZhaoGe City to prevent Mysterious Faction from destroying Invincible Domain's layout again."
Yang Jian and Nezha responded in unison, "I obey Master (Mr. Hu)'s instructions!" Di Xin also nodded and said, "This plan is very good. I will arrange it now and mobilize all available resources in the city to strengthen defense."
The discussion was finalized, and everyone began to make preparations. Hu Shu looked at Yang Jian and Nezha, and warned, "You two must be careful when you are outside. Then Mysterious Faction must They will not let us go easily. There may be many dangers in searching for clues. Once you find that something is wrong, return immediately." Yang Jian and Nezha said confidently, "Master, don't worry, I will not let you down!"
Di Xin turned around and said to the attendants beside him, "Go and summon the generals in the city quickly. I have something important to tell you." The attendants followed the order and left. Not long after, the generals came to the palace one after another. Di Xin said seriously, "From now on,, Strengthen City Defense patrols without any slack. Pay close attention to the movements in the city, and if you find a suspicious person, capture it immediately. At the same time, allocate supplies and speed up the deployment of defensive formations." The generals accepted the order in unison, and then quickly retreated to execute the order.
Hu Shu and Di Xin discussed the specific details of the defense in detail. From the layout of the formation to the deployment of personnel, they made careful arrangements one by one. At this time, the night was dark outside the palace, and occasionally the sound of a watchman's banging could be heard. Hu Shu looked out the window and thought to himself. Although countermeasures had been formulated, the road ahead was still full of unknowns. Then What secrets are hidden in the mysterious runes? Can Yang Jian and Nezha successfully find a way to decipher the runes? What dangers and obstacles will they encounter in the process of searching for clues and strengthening defense? And if Chan Sect is really behind it, what more insidious methods will they use? Everything is like a fog, waiting for them to uncover it.
