"We discussed some things, let's go." Wang Yao gave a perfunctory explanation and left the Maozu embassy with Wuying. Mihu then saw them off out of the embassy district.
"To make it easier to contact the Mao tribe, I bought a house nearby." The shadowless head floated in front of Wang Yao and Qing He, leading them through streets and alleys to a villa area not far from the embassy district.
"Hey, where did your body go?" Wang Yao was preoccupied with something and was eager to find an opportunity to ask Wu Ying. He didn't say anything and just followed Wu Ying forward. Qing He, on the other hand, was very curious about Wu Ying, who only had a head left, and couldn't help but ask all sorts of questions.
"It was eaten by the vengeful ghost." Wu Ying was still in the mood to joke with Qing He.
"You ate it? How did you eat it?" Qinghe was so surprised that her voice became noticeably louder.
"Keep your voice down," Wang Yao quickly reminded her after glancing around.
"How else can we eat it? We just eat it bite by bite. Or... look at which part of your body you don't want anymore, and I'll eat it for you to see?" Wuying replied in a low voice.
"I..." Qinghe thought for a moment, probably feeling that she couldn't be missing any part of her body, and then fell silent.
After wandering around for a while, the three of them finally arrived at a secluded corner at the top of the villa area. A lonely villa stood there, and its dilapidated appearance was evident from its exterior. The weeds on the path in front of the villa had grown taller than their calves.
"How did you find this place?" Wang Yao couldn't help but ask, looking at everything.
“We ghosts are most sensitive to demonic and human energy. We can tell where a place is desolate just by smelling it,” Wuying explained. He walked to the villa door and heard a creaking sound as the door opened by itself without any wind.
Seeing all this, Qinghe visibly flinched. Although she was a powerful figure in the Liang clan, she was still a young girl after all, and her fear of ghosts was similar to that of ordinary girls in the human world.
"Don't be afraid." Wang Yao patted Qinghe on the shoulder and led her into the villa.
The villa was filled with dust and cobwebs, the walls were mottled, and bricks and tiles were scattered here and there on the ground. Wang Yao had just released his "spiritual sense" when he suddenly frowned. He saw two eerie ghostly figures slowly emerge from the darkness.
"Lord Yue Lao, when the Prince left, he left behind his two ghostly figures, the Gale Ghost King and the One-Horned Ghost King." Wu Ying pointed to the two ghostly figures and introduced them to Wang Yao.
"Lord Yue Lao, we have not left the Underworld for a long time and are not used to interacting with beings from other worlds. We apologize for not welcoming you in time." The two ghost kings bowed to Wang Yao in unison.
Wang Yao's ability to withstand the great calamity of corpse energy in the underworld earned him a great reputation, and the two ghost kings treated him with great respect.
Wow, I never expected that the Underworld Manhunt Team would have a powerful figure like the Ghost King, who is at the Nascent Soul and Void Refinement realms, in charge. Wang Yao was taken aback, but then he figured it out. Given the nature of the Underworld King Yama, if he were to take the risk, how could he let his Ghost Kings and Ghost Lords stay in the Underworld to enjoy themselves?
Of course, we have to bring them to the demon realm as well. In that case, I have to reassess the size and strength of the underworld arrest team.
"You must be tired after a long day. There's a fairly clean room upstairs. Go up and rest for a bit," Wuying said to Qinghe after introducing the two ghost kings.
"Let her stay." Wang Yao shook his head.
"Lord Matchmaker..." Wuying turned his head towards Wang Yao.
“This matter concerns her ethnic group and requires her assistance, so it shouldn’t be kept from her,” Wang Yao said.
Wang Yao naturally understood what Wu Ying meant: they still wanted to keep Qing He in the dark and coax her into doing things. But he also knew that Qing He was not the innocent and naive girl she appeared to be; she was very shrewd, and their plans would be difficult to hide from her.
Furthermore, this matter concerns the safety of Qinghe's clan, and Qinghe must make her own judgment. Moreover, Wang Yao is not particularly interested in the Mao clan's plan. Even if Qinghe is loyal to the Liang clan and unwilling to get involved in this mess, it is not a big deal for Wang Yao.
As long as he didn't reveal too many secrets of the investigation and arrest teams to Qinghe, Wang Yao saw nothing he couldn't tell Qinghe about the Mao Clan's plan.
"Qinghe, just now upstairs at the Mao tribe's embassy, the Mao tribe's ambassador Mimi proposed a plan..." Before Wuying could speak, Wang Yao told Qinghe about the Mao tribe's plan to steal the Blood Burning Secret Technique.
“That Mimi is just coaxing a child. Their real thought is probably that they don’t want that secret technique to fall into the hands of the Shu clan, right?” Qinghe immediately guessed after hearing Wang Yao’s account.
"Therefore, we must not follow the Mao Clan's plan." Seeing this, Wu Ying stopped being coy and picked up where Qing He left off. "I know that you, Lord Yue Lao, have doubts about my easy agreement with the Mao Clan, but even if we were there, we wouldn't get any results."
"Instead, we should agree to their request first and then think about our own course of action. After all, if the Mao Clan wants to steal the secret technique, they have to provide us with some conveniences, and those conveniences are our opportunity."
"What are you planning to do?" Wang Yao raised an eyebrow and looked at Wuying.
“My idea is to take advantage of the Mao tribe’s welcoming banquet to provoke a conflict between the Shu tribe and the tribal alliance. As long as the two sides start fighting and kill a few people, the Shu tribe’s plan to join the tribal alliance will inevitably fall apart,” Wuying said.
"Why bother with all that trouble? Why not just kill all those members of the tribal alliance delegation, leaving only the Mao and Liang tribes? Then those three tribes won't be able to explain themselves no matter what they say, and that will solve everything, won't it?" Unexpectedly, Qinghe immediately made an even more direct suggestion.
"Uh..." Wang Yao and Wu Ying both looked at Qing He, never expecting that this delicate and timid girl would have such a vicious scheme in her mouth.
