"You don’t seem surprised at all?"

Looking at the colossal figure of the Hundred-armed Demon God in the distance, Li Boyang asked without turning his head.

The Hundred-armed Demon God commanded by Wu Zhen was mighty, each movement carrying a power only second to the Celestial God.

Even when Xiluo and Er Tu join forces, they can barely contain it, unable to truly eliminate the opponent.

After all, that Hundred-armed Demon God was already dead.

Now, what’s blocking Xiluo and Er Tu is merely a gathering of obsessions from over a hundred Demon God’s remnants.

Thus, it can be seen that Wu Zhen is indeed different from the other Spirit Mountain Ten Witches.

The other Great Witches solely wish to eradicate the Gods.

She, however, uses the remains of the Gods as materials, truly reaching the point of harnessing the Demon Gods.

"Uh, Wu Zhen has been chasing us for so long, naturally, I recognize her methods." 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Evidently unprepared for Li Boyang to pose such a question at this moment, Xuansu Clan hesitated briefly before answering.

However, Li Boyang simply smiled and shook his head at Xuansu Clan’s response.

"You might recognize, but Er Tu clearly does not."

"This is the first discrepancy and one of the flaws you revealed."

Under Xuansu Clan’s shocked and bewildered gaze, Li Boyang continued speaking.

"Actually, ever since Er Tu first mentioned his experiences over the past few years, there was always something that puzzled me greatly."

"How did Wu Zhen initially target him?"

"According to Er Tu’s own explanation, Wu Zhen coveted his Thousand Transformations Divine Power, hence why she repeatedly sought you out."

"Yet, I don’t think that’s the case, because if Wu Zhen were really only interested in Er Tu’s ability, she wouldn’t play this cat-and-mouse game with you."

Li Boyang was not making baseless conjectures but was stating a fact.

If Wu Zhen truly wanted to study the Thousand Transformations Divine Power, given her power, she wouldn’t have dragged it out until now.

Moreover, Er Tu does not recognize the Hundred-armed Demon God, indicating that Wu Zhen had not used the Ten Rings of White Bone before this.

"So later I tried a different approach."

"Since Wu Zhen is not actually coming for Er Tu, or rather, Er Tu’s emergence was merely an unexpected bonus."

"Then who was she initially chasing?"

At this point, Li Boyang’s implication was already quite clear.

Within Er Tu’s context where she appears less prominent and somewhat innocent, does Xuansu Clan truly display the weakness she claims?

"Just because of this, you suspect me?"

Contrary to Li Boyang’s expectations, Xuansu Clan remained remarkably calm in the face of his questioning.

"Of course, it’s not just because of this, I said it’s merely one of your flaws."

"These doubts merely suggested to me that you are not as innocent as Er Tu described."

"Certainly, thinking a God that has lived who knows how long as innocent is something only a person like Er Tu, clouded by emotions, would say."

"Even Xiluo has realized this."

This is why, upon sensing Li Boyang’s intention, Xiluo chose to actively help him distract Er Tu.

Xiluo has always been sentimental, which manifested clearly on Er Tu.

"You all think I deceived and used Er Tu?"

A trace of bitter smile inadvertently appeared, Xuansu Clan questioned thus.

Unfortunately, Li Boyang had already stated earlier.

He never considered a God who has lived unknown years as innocent.

Therefore, that seemingly inadvertent bitter smile from the counterpart only made Li Boyang more certain of his suspicions.

"Don’t play the emotional card with me, you know I’m not Er Tu."

"Originally, my curiosity was piqued by why Wu Zhen wanted to hunt you down... no, more accurately, corner you bit by bit."

"What does she want from you, to the extent of deliberately manufacturing a ’weakness’ for you?"

Upon hearing this, Xuansu Clan could no longer maintain her previous composure.

"You!"

With pupils quivering, her eyes widened in shock.

Looking at the expressionless Li Boyang, Xuansu Clan felt fully seen for the first time.

"Wu Zhen thinks by creating a ’weakness’ for you, perhaps you would compromise."

"And you also think, letting Wu Zhen believe you have a ’weakness’, would improve your situation considerably."

"The only one played for a fool was that Er Tu, regarded as a ’weakness’ by both of you."

"That foolish rabbit always prides himself on being knowledgeable, feeling as though he can deceive everyone..."

"But he hasn’t realized the world is far more complex than he imagined."

Sighing deeply, Li Boyang’s gaze suddenly fixed on Xuansu Clan’s abdomen.

"Actually, your biggest flaw is that child in your belly."

"Er Tu is just an obsessive fool, he wouldn’t think much about it, but you?"

"As someone being chased by their enemies, why would you want to bear a child?"

"It not only increases the difficulty for you and Er Tu to flee but might even lead to your deaths if carelessly handled."

In this scenario, Xuansu Clan finally ceased to argue.

"That foolish rabbit told me, you are the most benevolent and righteous being in this world."

"You established a new order in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, you personally attend to the insignificant creatures..."

"You have the power to rule the entire Hundred Lands Mountain Range, yet choose to retreat silently supporting their growth behind the scenes."

"He said you are not a ruler, nor a dictator but a Saint harboring kindness and mercy."

With a faint smile tugging at the corners of her lips, Xuansu Clan spoke bluntly.

"Although I don’t quite believe that silly rabbit, I feel he might have been deceived by you."

"But the more I think about it, you being willing to deceive him suggests you’ve seen potential in him."

"I was willing to take a gamble, gamble on you opposing Wu Zhen for him."

At this juncture, Xuansu Clan’s voice paused slightly.

"I gambled right, but also lost."

"You did come, but you aren’t the hypocritical person I imagined."

"You genuinely care for that rabbit and even specifically sent him away to confront me."

"Just from this alone, you might be a benevolent Saint, but definitely not like Wu Yao, that stubborn and ignorant fellow."

When Xuansu Clan mentioned Huai River Witch, Li Boyang knew her origin was far from simple.

Right now, this Xuansu Clan could even be a God from a millennium past, having seen the migration led by Huai River Witch with her clan.

If not, mere legends couldn’t justify saying things like "Wu Yao’s stubbornness and foolishness."

"So what exactly did you take from Great Xia?"

"Why is Wu Zhen willing to travel thousands of miles and rack her brains just to obtain that thing in your possession?"

Despite saying this, Li Boyang already has a rough guess in his heart.

"And the child in your belly, is it really Er Tu’s child?"
