Chapter 43 Truth or Illusion

Sweat poured down Ye Yang's face as he spoke, "I know a little bit about the Wu Clan's secret techniques, but I'm not as proficient as Li Po. Just now, I was using illusions to make everyone feel the impending threat of sword energy. It's that simple!"

If I had been there at the time, I would have definitely suspected Ye Yang. Illusions also came from the Wu Clan, and the Wu Clan's illusions were even more terrifying than their curses.

Proficient in illusions, Ye Yang was also a successor of the Wu Sword.

However, Feng Ruoxing didn't suspect Ye Yang. "I don't understand what you're saying?"

Ye Yang, while circulating his energy to regulate his breathing, said, "Do you remember when Li Po left the secret room, we touched hands once?"

Feng Ruoxing said, "Weren't you two just exchanging words of caution?"

"Far more than that!" Ye Yang said, "Last time, we suffered a loss in Zhang Fang's business due to poor communication, so we came up with a way to transmit messages using spirit talismans."

Ye Yang rolled up his sleeve, revealing a rune tattooed on his arm: "This Lingxi Talisman (telepathic talisman) is our tool for mutual communication. It's much more useful than a mobile phone."

"However, the Lingxi Talisman cannot be activated at any time. Before we can use the runes to communicate, we must collide the two runes once to activate it. The reason we touched hands was just to activate the runes."

"Li Po, on the way to pick up the ghost, already told me what he had deduced."

"Li Po said that there were many protagonists in Bai Xin's story. The person secretly setting up the situation should want to take away more than just one ghost. He told me to pay more attention to the local legends."

"I went to the library to find a map first, just to see if there were any places near Wan City suitable for raising ghosts. I didn't expect to actually find one."

Hearing this, Feng Ruoxing couldn't help but ask, "Then what was going on when you went to the president of the newspaper?"

"That was also Li Po's idea!" Ye Yang said, "Li Po said that the person setting up the situation was very cunning. He deliberately let us take away Zhao Yuezhu, and arranged the secret room in that private detective Xiao Zhu's villa. In fact, it was to distract me and make us ignore the Wan City newspaper right under our noses."

"I had to investigate the Wan City newspaper, and what I must investigate is that president."

"That private detective Xiao Zhu is very famous in the Wan City area, and he is also very trustworthy. After he gets the clues, the first person he will definitely look for is the president. It is impossible for the president to be completely unaware."

"The president hired so many experts of the arcane to investigate Bai Xin. How could someone without a background in the arcane hire the top five warlocks in Wan City?"

"The greater the warlock's reputation, the higher the price. Would a newspaper president spend a lot of money to hire experts of the arcane? Unless, he knew from the beginning that those people would not be coming back."

"Li Po initially planned to attack the president, but at that time, he had to take care of Zhao Yuezhu first. At the same time, he also felt that after the president was controlled by the ghost eye, he would not hide anything, which is why he was almost tricked by the other party."

"Li Po took Zhao Yuezhu on a dangerous mission just to make the hidden opponent feel that he had already fallen into the trap."

Hearing this, Feng Ruoxing interjected, "Then what about us? Didn't you initially decide to investigate the private detective's line?"

"That's what Li Po deliberately said for others to hear!" Ye Yang said, "From a detective's point of view, there is no problem with investigating the route of the newspaper delivery truck. The difference lies in whether the person following the vehicle is a detective or an expert of the arcane."

"Li Po told me to be careful of someone ambushing at the printing factory. So I temporarily changed my plan."

"I deliberately held back that woman to buy time for Li Po, as long as he can rush back in time, he will definitely gain something."

Feng Ruoxing, who was driving, asked casually, "I still want to know, how did you control the sword from a distance?"

After Feng Ruoxing asked, he felt a little regretful: "Sorry, I asked too much!"

Ye Yang laughed: "It's not worth a penny once you say it out loud. I can break formations, so I can also set them up. I just set up a simple formation in the archives."

"Oh!" Feng Ruoxing suddenly understood: "I always thought of you as a sword cultivator, so I ignored that you also knew other secret techniques."

"This is the difference between me and Ben Gou." Ye Yang smiled for the first time.

Ye Yang's meaning was actually very simple.

Strictly speaking, I have ten masters, so my methods are endless. No one knows what ability I will use next to defeat the enemy, so they will be strictly on guard against me.

The feeling Ye Yang gave people was that of an out-and-out sword cultivator, whose swordsmanship was godlike, and who made ruthless moves, solving everything with a sword.

In fact, the secret techniques he hid were the most deadly killing moves, just like the sword he hid in his sleeve. Before it revealed its true form, no one could see the full picture of the sword. By the time you saw the sword clearly, you would also see the blood spurting from your throat.

Feng Ruoxing was silent for a moment before saying, "Does Li Po not trust me?"

"Li Po should suspect that someone is spying on us, so he deliberately sent you a message in secret!"

Feng Ruoxing is a member of the martial world, so he can understand my actions, but he must not feel comfortable. We are both people who have gone through life and death together, but I can tell Ye Yang all my plans, but I don't mention a word to Feng Ruoxing. The distance between us is clear at a glance.

Feng Ruoxing will naturally be sad!
