"That was precise!"
Through the imprint he had left in the Cold Palace Imperial Realm, Xu Xiaoshou could learn of what was happening in Listening Rain Pavilion at this moment.
He was astonished that Yue Gongli had emerged from the Relics of the Gods and performed with such godlike brilliance.
Wasn't this Yama calling roll? Dai'er, Yue Gonghui...
Only this Moon Fox lacked the Life Upanishad and had no Textile Mastery either, so he could not tell at a glance that those were two Heavenly Mechanism Puppets.
Yet by intuition alone, he had come damn close to catching Dao Qiongchang!
"What a pity."
The Way of Memory in its Transcendent Dao Transformation state had truly terrifying applications in any non-combat setting.
Xu Xiaoshou watched helplessly as Yue Gongli searched Dai'er's and Yue Gonghui's souls, only to ultimately reach the conclusion that "he is highly suspicious."
If only you had not been struck down by Dao Qiongchang and had been a little more confident—just erase them directly...
Uh, but to Dao Qiongchang, that would merely mean losing two Heavenly Mechanism Puppets.
Still, so long had passed since the Relics of the Gods. Had Yue Gongli still not realized that the Lecherous Old Daoist's Way of Memory had undergone Transcendent Dao Transformation? Mm, perhaps he had noticed, but without a Transcendent Dao Transformation insight of the same type to resist it—such as the Great Dao of Intent—his memories had been secretly replaced again?
"How disgusting."
Even separated by an entire Saint Emperor Secret Realm, Xu Xiaoshou could feel just how troublesome Dao Qiongchang was.
Before leaving, he had blurred the consciousness of every maid in Listening Rain Pavilion during the illusory time, without doing anything superfluous.
Yet Ping'er remembered the general course of events...
That could only have been a smokescreen released
