Chapter 936: Chapter 936: Confusing Reality with Illusion, I Am Confident

The crowd suddenly fell silent as they saw Yang Yi, accompanied by Fan Kui and others, striding forward in Sikong Jing’s direction, eventually stopping in front of Sikong Jing...

Then, Yang Yi said calmly, "You all go ahead; I want to have a private chat with Brother Sikong."

The members of the Sky Wolf Team responded in unison and then withdrew from sight.

The next moment, Yang Yi frowned slightly and asked, "Brother Sikong, why is there a woman with faint energy here, is she one of yours?"

Although he couldn’t see the little princess’s appearance, he could sense her presence and determine she was female.

Sikong Jing replied softly, "A little princess from a Small Domain in the Minglong Mountain Range, brought out by Lu Ju. I happened to bring her along."

This answer made Yang Yi pause for a moment, but he ultimately said nothing, nodding slightly before casting a veil of True Qi over the little princess. He then asked, "The Cloud Gathering Beast Ancient Furnace, was it fake?"

Their conversation couldn’t be heard by anyone else for the time being, not even someone as insignificant as the little princess.

Yang Yi obviously didn’t believe the recent report from the Sky Wolf Team member, as he clearly understood the deeper implications of Sikong Jing’s statements. The report just confirmed the plan he and Sikong Jing had previously worked out on the Divine Shuttle Ship.

Yang Yi interrogated the auction attendees here, while Sikong Jing captured Ba Xiaoshan and eliminated Lu Ju...

If the ancient furnace was confirmed fake, they would simply claim it was missing and not submit it for the time being.

Of course, the details depended on Sikong Jing’s discretion; whether or not to kill Lu Ju was up to Sikong Jing’s judgment.

Everything was progressing according to their plan.

"Indeed it’s fake; Li Feng’s tactics were entirely within our expectations," Sikong Jing replied softly.

Yang Yi’s brow furrowed slightly as he asked, "Since Lu Ju is dead, you must have extracted some information, right?"

With a slight smile, Sikong Jing retorted, "Captain Yang, given your confidence, you must have discovered something during your questioning, right?"

The two fell silent for a moment, then spoke in unison: "Zhong Yang..."

At this, they both faced each other and laughed.

Yang Yi then took the lead to speak, "Although Zhong Yang covered it up well, during my sequential questioning of the deacons, his mindset showed substantial fluctuations, and I also discovered he dispatched someone to Energy Gathering Manor."

"Probably thinking that all our Sky Wolf Team members were stationed here, and he intentionally informed Ba Xiaoshan to flee with the ancient furnace beforehand, to create more trouble for us and mock us."

"But they never imagined that Brother Sikong would handle it alone."

As Yang Yi spoke, Sikong Jing came to a clear understanding.

Afterward, it was Sikong Jing’s turn to explain Lu Ju’s situation, which was due to Lu Ju having recently embarrassed Zhong Yang.

After they finished speaking, they fell silent again until a few breaths later, Yang Yi said, "Now, I’m considering whether we should capture Zhong Yang’s man currently sent to Energy Gathering Manor and have him testify, but if it’s just a minor character as a witness, it won’t hold much weight."

"It’s easy for us to be bitten back... and will alert them."

"We’ve now locked onto Zhong Yang, and the real Cloud Gathering Beast Ancient Furnace is certainly in his possession. However, making him surrender it or killing him isn’t going to be easy."

At this point, Yang Yi pondered silently, figuring out how to obtain the authentic furnace became the next challenge at hand.

It’s certain that the Cloud Gathering Beast Ancient Furnace is currently in Zhong Yang’s storage space, how to retrieve it? Without sufficient evidence, forcibly searching Zhong Yang’s storage space is unfeasible.

At this moment, Sikong Jing gently laughed, "Captain Yang, take a look at this."

Saying this, Sikong Jing tossed a Green Jade Tube to Yang Yi, who caught it and looked inside, "The Cloud Gathering Technique?"

Yang Yi, having already investigated Lu Ju, knew where Sikong Jing obtained the "Cloud Gathering Technique" from, but what was its use? It seemed rather useless, right?

Suddenly, Sikong Jing asked, "Captain Yang, what if I inscribe the ’Cloud Gathering Technique’ into the fake ancient furnace? Could it pass for the real thing? Would Zhong Yang, given an insufficient examination, fail to determine its authenticity?"

This statement caused Yang Yi’s entire body to tremble slightly.

"Brother Sikong’s meaning is... I understand. Indeed, it can be faked, but we currently have less than a day’s time. Cultivating the Cloud Gathering Technique and inscribing it into the fake ancient furnace might not be feasible in time."

"If we find someone who cultivates the ’Cloud Gathering Technique’, it might work, but it’s risky to trust others."

"Moreover, to fake it convincingly, even if time were sufficient, I wouldn’t have much confidence, as the furnace also contains the aura of the Cloud Gathering Beast, which is easy to expose."

Upon reaching this point, Yang Yi slowly dismissed Sikong Jing’s suggestion.

However, Sikong Jing solemnly clasped his fists and said calmly, "If Captain Yang trusts me, I am confident."

At these words, Yang Yi’s face showed disbelief.

Sikong Jing slowly explained, "Captain Yang, I seem to have some Fierce Beast bloodline within me, and coincidentally I’m quite familiar with the Cloud Gathering Beast, so I’m very confident."

In fact, Sikong Jing wasn’t familiar at all before this, but after acquiring the "Cloud Gathering Technique", he became familiar.

Normally, picking an auction item linked to a demon beast would have been unlucky for him.

Sikong Jing took a deep breath and fixed his gaze intently on Yang Yi.

"By the way, Captain Yang never asked how I recovered my arm, which is indeed related to the Fierce Beast bloodline within me. Currently, I can only restore myself, but soon I should be able to help others recover."

Yang Yi never inquired about his instantaneous arm recovery, earning Sikong Jing’s admiration.

That was certainly the most concerning issue for Yang Yi and the Sky Wolf Team members, but they never asked if it wasn’t voluntarily revealed, respecting everyone’s secrets, choosing to conquer others through tangible actions.

To make others willingly restore limbs for them.

In anyone’s eyes, this would be considered a set of exclusive skills, a very powerful ability that couldn’t be casually shared.

Indeed, Li Feng was the one currently trying to pressure him over this matter, while he was resisting.

As expected, when Yang Yi heard these words, his body faintly trembled, and he took a deep breath before slowly clasping his fists...

"Then, on behalf of my brothers, I thank Brother Sikong in advance."

"Regarding the ancient furnace, since Brother Sikong says he’s confident in passing the fake as the real one, I’ll leave this task entirely in your hands while I and the team remain at the auction site, leaving Zhong Yang scratching his head."

Sikong Jing nodded heavily, once again admiring Yang Yi’s decisiveness.

This matter was thus settled! Next moment, Yang Yi pointed to the little princess, whom he had sealed with True Qi, and after unsealing her, he added, "Brother Sikong, although this is your private matter, as your captain, I must say a word of caution, please don’t be offended."

"Having interests is good, but indulging too much can lead to ruin, particularly with a woman of unclear origin."

"Brother Sikong should exercise some restraint in such matters, especially during mission execution, avoid being too playful."

At these words, Sikong Jing was dumbfounded...

The little princess, now unsealed, could hear their conversation, immediately filled with tearful eyes.
