If not, if they had the strength to suppress the Church of All Beings, why would they be so cautious and plan in secret?
After all, so-called schemes are nothing more than a lack of strength. Huang Qiang racked his brains, thinking about how to pull this master to his side, increasing his chances of success.
At this time, Liang Sheng did not pay attention to Huang Qiang. Huang Qiang was still considering what to do next, but before he could act, another Nascent Soul True Monarch entered Yaoxiang Pavilion.
Huang Qiang looked at the visitor in surprise because he had seen the man before: it was the previously met Cloaked Mysterious Man, although he was not disguised at the moment and showed his true face.
What does this mean?
Huang Qiang clearly saw the astonishment in the eyes of the Cloaked Mysterious Man and immediately guessed that the latter might have also received a “mission” from the Church of All Beings.
He didn’t expect them to run into each other like this, but he thought that it was a good thing that they were on the same side. So he allowed the Cloaked Mysterious Man to test this hidden expert first.
If he refused the Cloaked Mysterious Man, that would be good news, and there would be a high probability of winning this expert over.
But if the other party agreed with the Cloaked Mysterious Man, he could use the Communication Jade Slip in his hand to let the Cloaked Mysterious Man hold the other party down first.
At that time, his side would be secretly plotting, and the Divinity Transformation Expert would take action at the same time. How could the other party escape in such a situation?
Even if the other party managed to escape, it could be framed as the Church of All Beings’ plot since the Cloaked Mysterious Man had initiated the conversation.
With that thought, Huang Qiang didn’t hesitate. The facial expression of the Cloaked Mysterious Man changed involuntarily. After thinking about it, he decided to agree with Huang Qiang’s plan first and adapt to the situation later. If he refused, everything he had done would be in vain.
Then, the Cloaked Mysterious Man approached Liang Sheng while pondering the situation. At this time, Liang Sheng found it somewhat amusing.
He didn’t expect to reunite with an old acquaintance, as this Cloaked Mysterious Man was one of the people who had guarded the Church of All Beings’ Teleportation Array in the past.
However, seeing the exchange of glances between Huang Qiang and the Cloaked Mysterious Man, Liang Sheng found it amusing. How could Huang Qiang think that such die-hard Church of All Beings members would betray the church for him?
However, Liang Sheng had no obligation to remind Huang Qiang. Liang Sheng didn’t give him or the other party any chance to perform and walked straight out of the door without any hesitation.
Huang Yifan, who was standing behind Liang Sheng at this moment, couldn’t help but feel a little surprised. His master usually stayed overnight at Yaoxiang Pavilion, so why did he suddenly leave today?
Although puzzled, Huang Yifan still followed Liang Sheng without hesitation. Huang Qiang and the Cloaked Mysterious Man could only watch Liang Sheng leave.
However, while Huang Qiang was astonished, the Cloaked Mysterious Man heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that the other party had realized that he and Huang Qiang had ulterior motives, which was why he had left so firmly.
Nevertheless, this also clearly stated the other party’s attitude. At least they wouldn’t help each other, which was a pretty good outcome. It wouldn’t be a good thing for the Cloaked Mysterious Man if the other party was pulled to either side.
If the other party agreed to his invitation, Huang Qiang and the City Lord Mansion would definitely take action against this expert.
If he refused, the outcome would be even worse. That’s why the other party’s best decision was to leave without giving him a chance to start a conversation.
As for what to do next, he would wait until he had reported the situation and see how the upper echelons decided. For now, he only needed to play his role well.
Huang Qiang and the Cloaked Mysterious Man exchanged glances once again and then turned and left separately, without saying a word.
A battle between the remnants of the City Lord Mansion and the Church of All Beings was inevitable. Huang Qiang did not know if there were spies from the Church in the vicinity, so he naturally could not contact the Cloaked Mysterious Man.
What they didn’t know was that Liang Sheng had once again attached a thread of Divine Sense to their bodies, and no one noticed.
On the other side.
At this moment, Liang Sheng was walking on his way home, unable to resist sighing. He wasn’t afraid of either one of them. It was just that he found it troublesome.
With his lengthy lifespan, he naturally didn’t want to get involved in cause and effect. So there was no need to talk to them just now. Staying neutral was the best approach.
Under his Auspicious Ability to Avoid Evil, getting involved would only lead to endless troubles. He wouldn’t act impulsively based on fleeting feelings.
However, the fact that the Church of All Beings had now sent their people out in the open, even devising a “spy within a spy” scheme, showed that their internal high-levels had temporarily reached a consensus.
But if they couldn’t make up their minds for a change, even if they could stabilize their footing this time, the chaos in Immortal City would continue to occur.
After all, people’s desires change with their status. For instance, a poor person only wants to eat their fill, but after that, they’ll pursue even greater enjoyments.
Ordinary Cultivators who achieve Foundation Establishment naturally want to become Golden Core Daoists, and those who become Golden Core Daoists want to advance to the Nascent Soul Masters…
Greed is what drives human progress, and not everyone is as selfless as the Church of All Beings members. Moreover, there are now corrupted individuals within the Church itself, so things will not be easy.
However, all of this has nothing to do with Liang Sheng. At this moment, he glanced in the direction of the Zhou Family and the ruins of the City Lord Mansion. Under the influence of Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil, he decided to close his doors to visitors and not appear again.
This time, the chaos in Immortal City might last for a long time. Through Heaven’s Secret Calculation, Liang Sheng had already seen several different vague scenes.
