"Xu..."
Upon hearing Qu Chao Ci's voice transmission, Heavenly Lord Hanjian nearly blurted it out.
Beside him, Lady Bixiao turned her head and asked curiously,
"What is it?"
Qu Chao Ci immediately sent another voice transmission, somewhat nervous.
"Godfather, we can't tell Mother yet."
Heavenly Lord Hanjian shook his head without betraying anything.
"Something suddenly occurred to me. Let me think it through first."
Qu Chao Ci immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Lady Bixiao nodded beside him.
"All right."
She had known Heavenly Lord Hanjian and the Heaven-Hunting Great Sage for many years and understood their temperaments. She knew very well that if he truly had something important to deal with, he would not deliberately hide it from her.
After answering Lady Bixiao, Heavenly Lord Hanjian immediately sent Qu Chao Ci a voice transmission without giving anything away.
"What did he ask you to tell me?"
Qu Chao Ci immediately repeated everything Xu Taiping had told her earlier to Heavenly Lord Hanjian, without leaving out a single word.
Heavenly Lord Hanjian immediately furrowed his brows.
"He wants Jiang Fu and me to join forces and deploy our strongest restrictions when Xu San's Three Corpses are slain?"
Just as Qu Chao Ci had reacted when she heard this, Heavenly Lord Hanjian looked equally bewildered.
The difference was that, after a brief moment of confusion, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he thought,
Could there be something fishy about this Sword Inquiry with Three Corpses Cave?
At that thought, he immediately counted on his fingers to perform a divination.
Within moments, fine beads of cold sweat covered his forehead, and he said in horror,
"If I work backward from effect to cause in my divination, everyone aboard our boat is indeed about to encounter a tremendous calamity."
"What is going on?
