After returning to the camp, Fang Qing sat cross-legged and quickly considered his options.
Now that he understood Bai Mu's trick, all he had to do was step forward and expose it. Capturing him would be no trouble at all.
After all, to escape, this True Person had surely suffered severe losses to his vitality.
But the question was... how had he seen through it?
Even if he blamed it all on Sangji, there would still be a heap of trouble afterward. This was no longer like back when White Bone Way was far away, with the emperor out of reach.
If the many Dharma Kings of the Esoteric Treasury made inquiries, it would indeed be hard to cover things up without a suitable explanation.
"Bai Mu True Person is in a sorry state, too. With the Great Void sealed off, he can't make a graceful getaway like that Purple Mansion True Person from the Profound Earth Sect. And unlike Red Medicine True Person, whose Divine Ability specializes in escape, all he could do was fake his death to get away—and I saw through even that."
"To fake his death, he lost a Divine Ability and a Purple Mansion Magic Treasure... His losses were truly devastating."
"If I hadn't seen through it, he'd only have needed to wait for a time when Sangji and I were both absent to slip away with ease. He could even have followed us back to the Secret Treasury Domain, possessed someone afterward, hidden for decades, then acted under the identity of a newly promoted Purple Mansion True Person of the White Clan..."
"Could I leave him for now as a move in reserve?"
"Anyway, 'Forestbank Concealment' might as well not exist as far as I'm concerned. That means I can handle Bai Mu however
