CHAPTER 223: CHAPTER 121: ENJOYING THE LIMELIGHT WHILE COVETING CONTROL

Two Mace has already given his suggestion, but Wuliang still hesitated, "Are you sure Hidden Moth isn’t our match?"

Two Mace replied somewhat helplessly, "If he were easy to deal with, it wouldn’t be worth us making such an effort. But I’m certain, he’s not our match!

If he truly had the ability to confront us head-on, why be so secretive? He would just wait in Chen Yuhua’s home, no need to avoid us.

You’ve also seen the notice from the Ancestral Hall, the Magic Sect has had the Hidden Moth lineage since ancient times. Hidden Moth is the Sect Leader of the Hidden Moth lineage, possessing the Insect Concealing Artifact and the Invisibility Ability.

The Invisibility Ability allows him to traverse space, which is a marvelous use of Divine Artifacts. Besides that, he’s merely a sorcerer, and that’s under the condition of having Technique lineage from ancient times.

Now the Insect Concealment Skill has been completely lost, even if he obtained the Technique, how can a mere wild loose cultivator surpass us? Moreover, we’re not trying to do anything to him, just confirming his identity!"

Wuliang: "These are the scenarios analyzed by the Patriarch, but are we really sure we can limit the Invisibility Ability? What if we don’t uncover his identity and instead expose ourselves, wouldn’t that lead to endless trouble?"

Two Mace: "Investigating Hidden Moth’s identity was your idea, and the Patriarch agreed. Now Hidden Moth has appeared, and he’s after Half Bottle, it’s the perfect opportunity... For what to do, you should first seek the Patriarch’s opinion."

After hanging up the phone, Two Mace wanted to gripe, his cousin is really both incompetent and playful, both cowardly and eager to show off.

This secret investigation into Hidden Moth’s identity was a suggestion made to the Patriarch by Wuliang, who even formulated the so-called "surefire" plan.

According to Wuliang’s plan, don’t use sorcerers, use a common person who clearly has no ties with the Shi Family, to approach someone related to Hidden Moth in the usual way, and secretly uncover Hidden Moth’s identity, then control the person.

Once Hidden Moth’s identity is exposed, it’s like hitting the death nail. Like a moth in the dark, exposed to the light of a fire, it’s hard to act recklessly again,

Even if the plan fails, there’s no loss, and it won’t implicate the Shi Family. If it succeeds, the rewards would be great! Not only could we utilize the Invisibility Ability, but also study the Insect Concealing Artifact.

Even such an unreliable idea was agreed to by the Patriarch, who then refined the action plan, finding Yan Congfei from the Shi Family’s outer circle to be the face, and sent a young lady, Yang Lingxi, to Qi Yuan.

Unexpectedly, Yang Lingxi was exposed by Qian Guran, a disciple of the Qi Observation Sect, and that Qian Guran was a sorcerer recently under focus by the Ancestral Hall... This could likely lead to a trace investigation by the Ancestral Hall.

So, whether Yang Lingxi is afraid or decides to retreat, the Shi Family has to sever the clues.

Yang Lingxi thought that by leaving Qi Yuan promptly, she could protect herself, and even if there was an investigation, the consequences wouldn’t be too severe... This is a difference in perception.

The Shi Family has been forced into emergency action, treating Yan Congfei as a scapegoat. Two Mace and Three Pots tricked Yan Congfei into Chen Yuhua’s home, subdued him, and eliminated him.

According to Wuliang’s directives, the remaining aftermath is entrusted to the cleaner, thinking it could be handled nicely, yet unexpectedly complications arose.

Chen Yuhua didn’t die but went to the airport and flew away with Yang Lingxi.

Judging by the scene, Yan Congfei’s corpse and the cleaner are missing, it’s nearly certain Hidden Moth has come, and is after Half Bottle.

In such circumstances, Wuliang showed some reluctance. Originally, he only dared to work in the shadows, only wishing to gain the greatest benefits without coming forward, but now with Hidden Moth at their doorstep, he’s thinking of backing off?

In fact, Two Mace somewhat looks down on Wuliang, but there’s no choice, who calls him the Patriarch’s son!

Over the years, the Shi Family has invested enormous cultivation resources in Wuliang, if it had been used on Two Mace, he estimated he could have broken through Tier Six and lined the Ancestral Hall.

Not mentioning what Two Mace thinks, Wuliang dialed his father’s phone number.

His father is named Shi Zhizhai, a Tier Five Heart Measurer of the Micro Realm Sect. Actually, without his son’s report, Shi Zhizhai has already grasped the dynamics over here, but he patiently listened to his son’s introduction of the situation and then asked, "What do you think should be done?"

Wuliang: "There are two options..." He repeated Two Mace’s words from earlier, claiming it as his own view.

Shi Zhizhai: "Hidden Moth has already found you all, how is there a first option anymore? If you didn’t want any trouble, why do it this way from the start?

Aren’t you carrying the Spirit Lock Array? Use Half Bottle to lure Hidden Moth to a suitable location, then activate the array. In my judgment, under those circumstances, he will lose the Invisibility Ability."

Wuliang: "What if the Spirit Lock Array doesn’t work?"

Shi Zhizhai: "Without this confidence, you still dare to do these things?

Note, don’t act rashly at the start, first tell him, our intention isn’t to seize the Hidden Moth Object nor to expose his identity, just to make a friend.

Our Shi Family can provide him shelter, and offer various cultivation resources. His current situation is quite dangerous, daring to shelter him and able to cover him, perhaps only our Shi Family can.

Be it Wan Zhongle or Yu Shangzhen, our Shi Family isn’t afraid, as long as he cooperates with us, we can ensure his safety and soundness!

The Spirit Lock Array must still be activated, we need to express goodwill and demonstrate ability, proving on the spot that we can return him to his original form, only then will he truly be convinced and delighted."
