Chapter 922: 240. Dahei Jialuo’s Identity Exposed? (7000 words for monthly ticket!)_4

The Zeng Family’s Ancestor said, "Not yet. Since yesterday, after he and that master who had just broken through to the Mortality-Shedding stage appeared once, they have disappeared without a trace."

"We also sent people to quietly infiltrate the border of Xida State to trace his aura and clues. But there was no discovery at all."

After speaking, the Zeng Family’s Ancestor couldn’t help but glance at the Peacock God King, who, understanding the look, said, "Yes, Venerable."

"I used a secret technique to track, but Garo’s aura seemed to appear and disappear out of thin air, completely untraceable."

"So, we still suspect that Garo is likely trapped by the God-Imprisoning Method. And the day his aura appeared in Tuoya State, it might be because the person imprisoning him wanted to coerce him into breaking through in Tuoya State, but due to being distracted during the breakthrough, they accidentally relaxed their guard over him, which led to him leaking a bit of aura."

After listening to the Peacock God King’s words, Yuan Gu didn’t readily express belief or disbelief. He asked in return, "According to you, who is using the God-Imprisoning Method? Is it the current Family Head of the Si Family, Fang Ze? Has he broken through to the Mortality-Shedding stage?"

Hearing his words, the Peacock God King said awkwardly, "No, according to the latest news, Fang Ze has always been at the Xida State Provincial Government during this time, coming and going, with no change in strength."

Although Yuan Gu pointed out the mistake, the Peacock God King still said, "Even if it’s not Fang Ze, it could be one of his subordinates."

"Anyway, the God-Imprisoning Method is the Si Family’s secret technique, and Garo went missing while assassinating Fang Ze, so his suspicion is always the greatest."

Upon hearing the Peacock God King’s words, Yuan Gu didn’t respond. The ghost fire in his eyes flickered, as if pondering.

After a moment, he said, "I still feel that the matter of the God-Imprisoning Method is a bit far-fetched. Whether this method really exists, no one is sure."

"If it’s said that Garo disappeared then, I believe there’s likely such a method. But he leaked an aura once yesterday, so I’m more inclined to think he’s possibly doing something we don’t know about."

Those present were demigods under Yuan Gu, aware of the strange yet intimate relationship between Yuan Gu and the Dahei Garo, as well as the trust Yuan Gu had in Dahei Garo. So upon hearing him say this, they all fell silent....

The scene fell into silence once again.

After a while, Yuan Gu looked at the crowd and spoke again, "Of course, although I trust Garo, we must not let our guard down."

"Even if there is no God-Imprisoning Method, with Garo missing for so long, we need to verify his identity. Especially if he appears later and immediately advises us to retreat or delay the attack, we must be even more vigilant."

"This could very well indicate he has been turned or controlled by the enemy."

Hearing Venerable Yuan Gu’s words, the several demigods present quickly replied, "Yes," praising it as the words of an experienced elder.

Having set the tone for Dahei Garo’s return, Venerable Yuan Gu no longer dwelled on the topic. He glanced around at the demigods present and then said,

"Alright, that’s settled. Next, let’s get down to business: flattening Xida State."

"Today is the day we dispatch troops, and we need to work hard to celebrate at the Xida State Provincial Government in a week!"

Hearing his words, all the demigods present responded in unison, "Yes!"

As someone who has destroyed countless worlds, such a speech clearly couldn’t excite Yuan Gu much. He simply raised his skeletal hand and said, "Then we shall now....!"

And just as Yuan Gu was about to utter the last two words, "set off", suddenly, a flurry of hurried footsteps sounded from outside the door.

After a moment, a Believer ran in from outside, then directly fell to one knee on the ground, reporting to Yuan Gu, "Venerable! Lord Garo has returned!"

Hearing the Believer’s words and recalling what Yuan Gu had just said, all the demigods present couldn’t help but exchange glances, their expressions a bit peculiar. Yuan Gu’s skeletal face was also stunned for a moment before he waved his hand and said, "Let him in."

"Yes!" The Believer, having received the order, quickly went to lead the way.

After a moment, Dahei Garo, clad in a black robe and dusty, entered the hall.

Upon entering the hall, Dahei Garo first bowed to Yuan Gu as usual, then slightly nodded to the other demigods and finally said to Yuan Gu, "Venerable. I have returned."

Upon seeing Dahei Garo, a slight smile appeared on Yuan Gu’s skeletal face. He asked, "Garo, where have you been all this time?"

Upon hearing Yuan Gu’s question, the other demigods also looked curiously at Dahei Garo, wanting to hear his answer.

At this moment, under the gaze of the demigods, Dahei Garo showed no fear. His solitary eye on his forehead seriously looked at Venerable Yuan Gu and then said, "Reporting to Venerable. I went to investigate a major matter during this time!"

"A major matter?" Venerable Yuan Gu’s skeletal fingers lightly waved, then he asked, "What major matter?"

Dahei Garo said, "This matter concerns our subsequent plan and your safety!"

He said, "Bai Qingcang is not dead! After killing Galan Houde, he took the opportunity to lie low, preparing to ambush you when you dispatched troops from Congyun City!"

Hearing Dahei Garo’s words, the scene fell silent. The ghost fire in Yuan Gu’s eye sockets became extremely playful.

After a moment, he asked, "So what is your suggestion? Should we abandon or delay the attack on Xida State?"

Dahei Garo, apparently unaware of the content of the previous discussion between Yuan Gu and the other demigods, nodded firmly and said, "Yes! I suggest we hold steady for now and not fall into Bai Qingcang’s trap!"

Hearing his words, the other Outer Realm demigods exchanged glances, spotting the odd look on each other’s faces: Wasn’t this too coincidental?

Venerable Yuan Gu just talked about being cautious if Dahei Garo returns and suggests avoiding battle, as it could indicate a problem. Now that Dahei Garo returned, he indeed proposed avoiding battle? Could it be that he does have issues?

Thinking this, before Yuan Gu could speak, the Peacock God King spoke first.

With a wave of his hand, a rainbow light enveloped the entire inner hall, forming a barrier that isolated them from the outside.

After doing all this, the Peacock God King looked at Dahei Garo and slowly began to speak, "Garo, do you recall what I reminded you of when you went to assassinate Fang Ze?"
