Shen Yunhao did not know the man's real name, but called him Elder Poison Shadow, just like Mu Shuangshuang.
And this Elder Poison Shadow's specialty is stealth!
Not only can it escape itself, but it can also help others conceal their whereabouts.
This was Shen Yunhao's biggest reliance in designing this "fake death method".
Regardless of whether the Demonic Sect was secretly watching, he planned to use the Blood Demon Ape to stage an instantaneous explosion.
Moreover, it's very easy to operate. The instant the Blood Demon Ape "kills" you, use the Phantom Shuttle to teleport to the designated location, and then have the Poison Shadow Elder pick you up...
One thing to note here is that Shen Yunhao cannot control the direction when using the Illusionary Shuttle, and needs the assistance of Poison Shadow.
So... during the giant ape's pursuit, Poison Shadow was actually hiding on the giant ape's back the whole time.
If it were a normal Spirit Void Realm demon beast, it wouldn't be so unaware that someone was hiding on its body.
However, the Blood Demon Ape, released from the dungeon, was in a state of irrationality, which ironically made it an excellent hiding place for Poison Shadow...
The initial plan was to have Poison Shadow hide directly on the Wind Chariot to protect Shen Yunhao's safety to the greatest extent, but Shen Yunhao refused.
In order to lull the Demon Sect into a false sense of security, the situation inside the Wind Chariot was not concealed at all. Any expert at the Void Soul Realm could easily detect the situation inside the Wind Chariot using their divine sense.
In this situation, if they manage to detect the presence of the Shadow Poison, all their plans will be in vain.
That's why Shen Yunhao had Du Ying hide on the back of the demonic ape, so that he could be picked up immediately as soon as he slipped away.
Thus, what the outside world saw was that the demonic ape's attack actually struck the Wind Chariot, and Shen Yunhao was directly crushed to death by the demonic ape, leaving no trace of his body...
Of course... there are definitely more comprehensive and feasible solutions, but from the discovery of the demonic ape's pursuit to being reduced to ashes, there was only such a short time. To be able to make this decision to "fake death" is quite remarkable.
Moreover, no matter what kind of scheme it is, if you want to deceive the Demon Sect, you must be slapped by the giant ape like this!
As for when to use the Phantom Shuttle, that is entirely under Shen Yunhao's control.
You must make a flash and escape the instant the Wind Chariot, the Netherworld Shield, or even the shockwave reaches you.
If the process of "being killed" hadn't been done earlier, it would have been difficult to deceive the Demon Sect.
It's too late... so that's the end of it.
In other words, Shen Yunhao might only have half a second left.
Judging from the results, Shen Yunhao must have cast the spell a little too late, and it seems that he also caused trouble for Ning Yuyao, who was far away in Tianshan, through the Heart-to-Heart Mantra.
However, Shen Yunhao was unaware of this and only felt that he had won by not dying.
"Now those bastards won't keep targeting me anymore! I'm totally dead..."
"Yeah……"
The man in black robes remained silent for a long time before finally speaking: "If I were you, having gone this far, I would leave a hand on that wind chariot. An attack from a Spirit Void Realm cultivator can indeed pulverize most things, but the Demonic Sect is suspicious. If they really wanted to, they would also check for your body fragments..."
"..."
Shen Yunhao was stunned.
What's wrong?
From what you're saying, they can do DNA testing here?
"Alright, you've already done quite well. You can rest assured about the rest. Even if the Blood Sect sends a Void Realm expert, they definitely won't be able to find out that I rescued you. However... this place is clearly not safe. We need to leave quickly..."
"good!"
As he spoke, Shen Yunhao tried to get up, enduring the pain all over his body.
Upon seeing this, the man in the black robe narrowed his eyes slightly.
“This golden thread is indeed strange. After suffering such a fatal injury, an ordinary person would probably not wake up for at least a year or two, but you… you can already move after only half an incense stick’s time!”
"Really? Maybe my injury this time wasn't as serious as last time..."
Shen Yunhao simply scratched his head.
Last time in the Dry Smoke Ridge Underground Palace, I was stabbed right through the heart and spent three days healing underground before waking up. This time, for some reason, I recovered much faster.
"boom!"
Just then, a loud roar suddenly came from not far away.
"W-what's going on! There's an earthquake!"
Shen Yunhao was startled.
"No, it's just someone fighting with that ferocious ape... Let's ignore it and get out of here quickly!"
"So, righteous people have already come to subdue the demon so quickly?!"
Shen Yunhao didn't think too much about it. He had only taken two steps forward when he let out a soft cry of pain.
"Blanching... I feel like my body is falling apart!"
The man in black robes raised his hand and pointed, and a simple stretcher appeared out of thin air on the ground.
"Lie down on top, and I'll take you away!"
"Thank you, senior!"
Just as Shen Yunhao sat down, another huge crash came from afar, accompanied by the screams of wild beasts.
Upon hearing this voice, Shen Yunhao frowned. "Senior, who is fighting that ferocious beast? It seems to be a demon beast as well..."
Poison Shadow frowned as well, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I advise you not to meddle in other people's business. That fox demon's background is far beyond what you and I can imagine. Someone will come to save her when the time comes. For now, we should leave this place as soon as possible!"
"Fox...fox demon?"
Shen Yunhao froze instantly. "Senior means... Bai Xiaoruo, that stupid fox is back? That's impossible! Didn't she run away? Even if she came back, what reason would she have to fight the ferocious ape? She's only at the Soul Control Realm; she'd be killed in no time!"
Seemingly anticipating Shen Yunhao's reaction, Du Ying explained in a low voice, "That demon fox possesses the bloodline of the nine-tailed fox. If used properly, it could potentially exhibit a primal reversion, borrowing the power of the ancient nine-tailed fox to defend itself. As for why they fought... it's most likely because it wanted to return to you, but was discovered by the ferocious ape and forced to fight. You know, the Blood Demon Ape has lost its mind and attacks anyone it sees, so there was nothing we could do about it..."
Before he could finish speaking, Shen Yunhao immediately shook his head and interrupted, "Impossible... She has chaotic source energy that can conceal her aura. If she wanted to hide, she could definitely do so. There's no way a fight could break out..."
Just then, a thought flashed through Shen Yunhao's mind, and he suddenly widened his eyes and said, "Senior! Did she come here a long time ago and see me being beaten to death?"
The man in black robes shook his head helplessly and said calmly, "If that's how you think, there's nothing I can do. But there's one thing I need to tell you in advance: I am also a member of the Demon Sect. Not meddling in other people's business is our ironclad rule. I'm only protecting you now because of your agreement with our young lady. So... don't expect me to take action to rescue that fox demon."
"..."
“Under normal circumstances, I would have let it go with a simple gesture, but if I were to intervene today, the Blood Sect would immediately realize your feigned death strategy… and all of this would be in vain!”
