"It's the eyes..."

Su Youyi suddenly looked up, recalling that unusual scene from her memory, only to find that the private room adorned primarily with plum blossoms was now devoid of outsiders.

"Yes, it's the eyes!"

Liang Yi snapped his fingers, his gaze filled with admiration as he praised his junior sister.

"What are you talking about?"

Wan Tinggui was startled by the sudden scare from the two, almost failing to securely hold the Jade Talisman she had just taken out from the Storage Ring.

"Are you talking about Ren Weng and Shao Du?"

Surprisingly, Ke Mengzhan seemed to understand what Liang Yi and the other were discussing.

"You noticed it too?"

Liang Yi turned to look at Ke Mengzhan and asked.

"Yes, I thought it was just my imagination, but it seems that is not the case."

Ke Mengzhan nodded, his expression somewhat grim.

"Ren Weng and Shao Du? What's with them?"

Wan Tinggui was puzzled, but subconsciously felt that she might be overlooking something.

"Those two..."

Just as Liang Yi was about to explain, he noticed He Zhiqing and Pang Qingshi's expressions change drastically, with Pang Qingshi's Floating Life Bell ringing thrice on its own without any wind.

"Dingling!"

"Someone powerful is divining about us!"

Pang Qingshi stretched out his right hand to grasp the continuously ringing Floating Life Bell, his brows slightly furrowed.

Hearing this, Liang Yi, Su Youyi, and Wan Tinggui instantly became alert, their Divine Sense spreading outwards, bringing everything around them under control. Uncle Ju, with agility, jumped to the window, a dark gleam flashing in his eyes, observing everything outside from a unique perspective.

The technique she had used earlier to deceive Xia Kun was just a ruse, for the Secret Technique demanded an astonishing amount of energy, something Pang Qingshi couldn't possibly maintain all the time.

Yet, they had just entered Redfeather City, and they already encountered this situation!

However, although this powerful being seemed to be a Cultivator proficient in the Art of Divination, the threat was far lesser compared to Xia Kun. Hence, Pang Qingshi felt no need for the simultaneous use of the Floating Life Bell and the ruse.

"You handle concealing the Heavenly Mechanism, I'll try to divine in reverse!"

Without any hint of panic, He Zhiqing instructed calmly, a mysterious blue light emerging in his eyes, with the Celestial Stars Formation unfolding beneath his feet.

He Zhiqing's glasses, originally just normal black, transformed as if turning into a universe when the Celestial Eyes were activated. Stars shimmered in his eyes, as if concealing all the magnificence of the world!

Stars shifted within his pupils, nebulae swirling within his eyes!

With a hundred and eight Celestial Stars, one could divine vague Heavenly Mechanisms, but He Zhiqing divined using the billions of stars in the universe - that was his secret to seeing through parts of the future!

Seeing He Zhiqing and Pang Qingshi each performing their tasks and themselves unable to assist much in the Art of Divination, Liang Yi and others could only protect them from being disturbed.

Meanwhile, in Redfeather City, within a building surrounded by soul ghosts, Shao Du stood calmly behind Ren Weng, both looking aside at a gaunt old man performing divinations with bones as tools.

The old man's eyes were tightly shut, his body clad in ragged cloth carelessly thrown over, his wrists and ankles visible and skeletal, as if only covered with a thin layer of skin.

Around the old man, countless bones danced and spiraled in the air in a peculiar pattern.

If He Zhiqing or Pang Qingshi were here, they could tell that this old man was also divining heavenly secrets, but unlike the bare-handed or bamboo divining methods on the Mystical Mechanism Continent, this man used various kinds of bones.

Currently, the old man continuously took several bones from the ones flying around him, constantly creating new bones that merged into the soaring formation in mid-air.

"Strange..."

The more he divined, the more puzzled the old man became. It wasn't that he couldn't divine anything, but the results were inconsistent, as if the group had something resisting his divinations.

"Can't figure it out?"

Ren Weng still looked sickly, as if he could die at any moment, but his eyes were extremely bright at this moment.

"It's not that I can't divine."

The old man casually explained the situation to Ren Weng.

"How could people with questionable origins not be prepared?"

Ren Shang chuckled lightly and did not find it strange.

"Rest assured, how could such petty tricks deceive me?"

The elder, however, appeared confident, picking up and throwing the divination bones even faster.

"Let me see your true face..."

"Are you sure they are not from the Qingkong Sect?"

Ren Shang asked without turning his head to the person behind him, Shao Du.

"Replying to sir, I am certain."

Shao Du's expression remained calm as he slightly bowed in response.

"Although I, Shao Du, have average strength and talent, and everyone thinks I am incapable, I am still confident in my ability to remember people."

At this point, a hint of pride finally emerged on Shao Du's face.

"For all cultivators above the Seventh Realm of Qingkong Sect, I remember them all in my mind, including their names, appearances, personalities, and cultivation techniques, but I do not recognize any of these Seventh Realm cultivators from Qingkong Sect."

Ren Shang remained silent, just quietly waiting for the result.

If those people truly were not from Qingkong Sect, and they were using Qingkong Sect's name to enter Redfeather City, they likely had some unsavory motives.

While cultivators hiding their identities to enter Redfeather City were numerous, and Ren Shang could not possibly investigate each one thoroughly, a cultivator's intuition told him that this time there might truly be an issue.

Thus, when he sensed disturbances at Riyin Tower and saw Shao Du's subtle gaze, he chose to soothe those from Qingkong Sect by forcibly taking Ren Shang and the others away.

"Hmm!?"

At that moment, there seemed to be a mistake among the countless divination bones around the elder. One mistake led to another, instantly throwing all the divination bones into chaos!

"This..."

Shao Du was stunned, unclear about what was happening.

"How so?"

Ren Shang did not care about the process; he only wanted the result.

"Those people seem to undoubtedly be from Qingkong Sect, as divination shows their deep connection with Qingkong Sect."

The elder slowly picked up the divination bones, saying leisurely.

"How could this be! There must be some mistake!"

Shao Du's expression changed rapidly as he hastily spoke out.

"Are you questioning me!?"

The elder's hand, as he was picking up the bones, instantly paused, his neck slightly turning as his dead, silent gaze fell upon Shao Du.

"No... dare not..."

Shao Du trembled, stammering in response.

Being stared at by the elder sent a chilling cold from his spine, instantly spreading throughout his body.

This elder is a famously renowned divination master in the Abyss Realm, Ghost Master, who is at the Great Perfection of the Eighth Realm and just a step away from the Ninth Realm.

Divination in the Abyss Illusion Realm is extremely special and significantly difficult due to the presence of the Abyss Will, much more challenging than in the Mystical Mechanism Continent.

Thus, a cultivator who has reached Great Perfection of the Eighth Realm using the Art of Divination is exceedingly rare, far beyond someone like Shao Du to provoke, especially since even the Ghost Travel Sect behind him would have to hesitate.

After all, divining the Heavenly Mechanism in a way means communicating with the Abyss Will, and previously, only the lofty Abyss Envoys who oversee everything were able to communicate with the Abyss Will.

"Go, ask the Sect Leader of Qingkong Sect about those people's situation."

While Shao Du was worried that Ren Shang might explode in anger, Ren Shang seemed surprisingly calm, merely summoning a soul ghost to casually instruct.

"Also, keep a close watch on those people; record every move they make in Redfeather City!"

The soul ghost silently withdrew, leaving the three of them in the courtyard.

Now, with Lord Ghost King away, and Luo Zhihuai leading a large group of Ninth Realm cultivators to the Mystical Mechanism Continent, Ren Shang was somewhat concerned that others might take advantage of their absence.

After all, this is the Abyss, and even if there is a war ahead, it wouldn't be surprising for some reckless troublemakers to appear behind.

Even though Lord Xia Kun and Lord Tian Anyu were presiding, unless the disturbance was significantly large, those two lords would not bother about such matters.
