The two sides quickly exchanged what they had seen and heard.

"So, the problem we are facing now is that the Heming Taoists on both sides think they are the orthodox ones and want to defeat the other side?"

After listening to Stone's story, Xia concluded.

On one side is the Taoist Heming who has turned into a mud monster. He believes that he is the real Taoist Heming, and what remains in the Stormy Villa is just a wisp of will. As long as he eliminates this wisp of will, he can become his complete self and then try to sublimate.

On the other side is Taoist Heming who has abandoned his physical body. He exists as a concept and hides in Stormy Villa. He is wary of the Old Rulers of the Ruined City and also wants to prevent his own remains from being used to usurp his authority. As long as he can completely destroy these remains, he will have the opportunity to ascend the ladder of the Old Rulers and become an indescribable great existence.

The two statements are completely opposite, and which one to believe becomes the biggest problem.

"If we don't have Stone's ability, it would be difficult to investigate the whereabouts of Goder's internal organs, and we would not be able to find Byron in the underground wine cellar. At this time, we should have discovered Browning's affairs and met the Heming Taoist who occupied Browning's body."

Shia analyzed.

"Similarly, if we don't notice Browning's body after contacting Gode, we will only meet Taoist Heming from Byron's side and accept his proposal to resolve the will of the host in Stormy Mountain Villa."

This is like two options in a game. Depending on the different choices, different routes will unfold and the corresponding endings will be obtained.

But the problem is that there was a bug in their game and both options were selected at the same time.

"I think the Heming Taoist we met might be the real one."

Shia spoke first.

"I think the concept of sublimation he mentioned is very consistent with the style of the Old Ones. Moreover, the spell he provided is indeed beyond imagination. It is hard to imagine that the existence that possesses this knowledge is just a will."

"At the same time, Gold and Byron did not tell the truth. He brought Byron in to conduct the Summoning Night, which is consistent with Browning's statement. If our mission is to survive until the end of the Summoning Night, then those who want to conduct the Summoning Night are our enemies."

After hearing what Xia said, Stone thought for a moment and then said.

"But the will of Heming Taoist in Stormy Mountain Villa once tried to kill everyone here, whether it was Gao De who succeeded or Lily and us who failed. He had malicious intentions from the beginning, just like the evil spirit entrenched here. Moreover, since he occupied Browning's body, he shouldn't do these mysterious things."

"Besides, the Summoning Night should be Browning's request before his death. Goder and Byron just took this opportunity to sneak in. Of course, I don't know how humans can become the Old Ones, so I don't know which path is closer to the great existence. It's just that based on my cognition, I think Byron is more trustworthy."

Both of them seemed to have their own ideas.

"Did Byron tell you how to resolve the will of Taoist Heming?"

Xia asked instead of responding.

"He gave me a ritual. As long as I know where Browning is, I can confine him to a certain space through advance preparation. By then, Byron will personally deal with him."

Stone replied.

"Similar to the method we got."

Xia pondered.

"Perhaps this mission is to let us distinguish who the real Heming Taoist is. If we cannot make a clear judgment, it will lead to failure and destruction."

"Indeed, but it's hard to believe just based on their one-sided story. Perhaps we can switch places. I'll go see Browning, and you go find Byron?"

Stone said as he thought about it.

There are doubts in what both of them say, but there are also points that can be trusted.

Perhaps only after both parties have confirmed it can we get the answer.

Looking at the two people's appearance, Lu Ban held up his chin and thought for a while, then suddenly spoke.

"We feel like we may have made a mistake."

"What?"

Stone looked at Lu Ban.

"You have just been wondering which side is the real Heming Taoist, but the problem is, we don't actually need to figure out who the real Heming Taoist is."

Lu Ban looked at Xia and Stone, both of whom had some confusion on their faces.

"Now we know one thing, that is, everything that happened in this Stormy Villa was caused by Taoist Heming. Whether it is his remains or his ghost, everything is Taoist Heming's fault."

"It is difficult for us to tell through words or actions which side is the real Heming Taoist and which side is the bad guy who wants to kill everyone. We can't solve this problem anyway."

“So why don’t we address the people who are raising this issue?”

Hearing Lu Ban's words, Xia frowned slightly, but quickly reacted.

"You mean, we don't trust anyone, but just get rid of Heming Taoist directly?"

"ah?"

Stone was stunned and felt that this proposal was too outrageous.

But he thought again and felt that what Lu Ban said made sense.

The Heming Taoist on Stone's side gave a way to deal with the Heming Taoist on Lu Ban's side, and the Heming Taoist on Lu Ban's side also told him how to deal with the Heming Taoist on Stone's side.

If both sides act at the same time, both Heming Taoists will die.

Without Taoist Heming, no matter who is real or fake, there will be no soul-calling night in the end, and a huge hidden danger in the abandoned city will be solved.

Very reasonable!

"In the final analysis, there is no need for us to help Taoist Heming. As long as we kill both sides, we will have perfectly handled Taoist Heming's commission."

Lu Ban clapped his hands, feeling that what he said made sense.

The three of them briefly discussed the feasibility and quickly reached a consensus.

Lu Ban had seen Qin Tiantian play the game many times, so she was very skilled at it. After watching her do it many times, she learned it.

As promised, Lu Ban and Xia arrived at the house where Byron was imprisoned.

The servant was still guarding the door. Lu Ban knocked on the door and heard Byron's answer from inside.

He turned the doorknob and walked in, and saw Byron looking out the window boredly, with the wine glass in his hand shaking slightly, looking like he had lost all hope in life.

"We've heard what Stone said about you."

When Lu Ban spoke, Byron looked over.

The nonchalant attitude immediately disappeared, and Byron examined the two men with a sharp gaze.

"So, what's your answer?"

Byron asked.

"We decided to work with you."

Lu Ban extended his hand toward Byron.
