…
The battle in the east side of Tiantang City was getting more and more intense, and the commotion it caused was getting bigger as well.
The entire east side of the city was basically a wasteland, a scene of devastation!
Faced with such a cruel situation, the martial world heroes could not help but feel anxious.
However, it was at this moment that a discussion arose.
"Every day in the martial world is a life and death struggle! Either you fight for a thousand years of fame and become a legend for generations to come. Or you die early and reincarnate. Eighteen years later, you'll be a hero again! "
"Who doesn't want to be a god or a saint in the martial world? Now, the opportunity is right in front of me. Why should I give it up? The treasure was born with me and appeared at the right time. I should be the destined master! "
"Which of the martial world's big shots didn't have a fortuitous encounter when they started out? Why can't it fall on me? "
"You can leave if you want. I won't leave anyway."
"What's the difference between risking my life in the Jianghu and risking my life here? Why should I leave? Isn't this the martial world? "
"Humans are in the martial world, where isn't? If I die here, I might die a worthy death, and I can leave happily! "
"…"
Initially, as the death toll increased, many of the martial world's people began to give up. Although the martial world was filled with passionate people and self-righteous people, there were also many who were smart and ambitious.
However, it was at this time that an unusual discussion arose, evoking the ambition and resonance of most of the people.
Yes, how could it not be a life and death struggle? Was it not a life and death struggle everywhere?
At this moment, an old Jianghu man sighed with emotion.
Then, the words spread like the wind throughout the entire east side of Yutang City.
"Medicine is poison if it doesn't become a pill, but man will eventually become ashes if he doesn't become a god!"
Medicine was thirty percent poison. Only when it was refined into a real immortal pill through heaven's will and the poison was completely removed could it be completely absorbed by the human body and be harmless.
If man did not become a god, he would only become a pile of ashes in the end.
Now, the possibility of refining an immortal pill and becoming a god was right in front of him!
Retreat?
Perhaps taking a step back could guarantee a moment of safety, but the future would be unpredictable!
…
Yun Yang floated in the air, carefully inspecting each and every person.
Over the past few days, he had secretly investigated no less than three thousand people, but he still could not find any clues about Ouyang Xiaoshe.
Within the entire East City area, all the suspects that matched Ouyang Xiaoshe's physique had been investigated, but the search was fruitless.
"Hmm, if I were Ouyang Xiaoshe... what would I do?"
Yun Yang stopped his search and questioned himself, thinking in reverse.
"If I were Ouyang Xiaoshe, I would have betrayed Old Dugu, and Old Dugu is closely related to the Nine Supremes. Although Supreme Cloud of the Nine Supremes had never shown his face, he was an influential figure in the Empire of Yutang. Tiantang City, in particular, is under their absolute control. "
"However, these two treasure maps have appeared in Tiantang City. I have to go and try to obtain them. Then how do I get there? How do we proceed? "
"Disguising myself and changing my appearance is a must! But how could he disguise himself to ensure his own safety? Which route should we take? "
"Supreme Cloud must have grasped all the relevant information about me now, so everything about me will be his focus. If I don't want to be discovered and associated with him, the only way is to go in the opposite direction of all the relevant clues. Only then can I avoid suspicion. This includes my accent, habits, clothing, appearance, weapons... and so on. "
Indeed, only by going in the opposite direction of all the original information could he be completely rid of suspicion!
"Even if everything has been changed, it's still not an absolute guarantee. The Yutang officials have gone through so much trouble to draw out a city area for the martial artists to wage war. How could there be no deeper meaning behind this? "
"Even if it looks like it's convenient on the surface, limiting the war to a certain area, who knows if it's not a smokescreen? What's more, it's a deliberate attempt to narrow the search area. If I were to come, how could I not participate in the fight for the dragon hide treasure map? I would definitely be in the East City area!"
"If that's the case, I can't go to the East City area at all costs!"
"The other party has set up such a scheme, even using the dragon hide treasure map as bait. What they're after must be something big. Although I'm the target, I'm probably only one of them. In other words, the fight for the treasure map won't end anytime soon. I can lie low in the other districts first. As long as I pay attention to the current news, I can judge the direction of the situation..."
"I'll wait until the last moment, when the situation is about to be settled, then I'll go out. Not only will I be in perfect condition, I'll also be able to wait for the enemy to attack me. Only then will the danger be minimised and I can protect myself to the greatest extent. Besides, the chance of success will be greater. "
"Lastly, if things really can't be done, staying out of the picture is still the best guarantee to retreat in one piece!"
…
Yun Yang thought about it and murmured, "If I were Ouyang Xiaoshe, I would have to come, but I wouldn't be in the East City area."
"If he didn't settle down in the East City area, he would have chosen the remaining three sides, north, south, and west. No, hiding in the South, West, and North can ensure his safety for a while, but it's still too far away from the East City area. Once something happens and the dust settles, the buffer time won't be enough. There's a high chance that he won't be able to make it in time."
"If that's the case, the Imperial City area in the middle of the four sides can be considered a good choice..."
Yun Yang pondered for a moment before his gaze suddenly froze.
"No, I'm afraid the Imperial City area is still not the best choice. The clichéd saying, 'the most dangerous place is the safest', is also applicable now. As long as I can find the blind spot of the most dangerous place, it'll be fine. The so-called blind spot of danger is none other than the darkest place under the light!"
"Then what is the darkest place under the light in the East City area?" Yun Yang's mind seemed to have been struck by lightning as he came to a sudden realization. "As long as one enters the East City area, it's a matter of life and death. There are few exceptions. No matter how high one's cultivation base is, one has no special privileges in the East City area now... No, there's a type of people in the East City area who won't be attacked... the soldiers!"
Once Yun Yang thought of this, it was as if he had been enlightened. More thoughts immediately popped into his head.
"As long as Ouyang Xiaoshe could blend in with the soldiers who went in to collect the corpses, wouldn't he be able to grasp the current situation at all times? He could also intervene in the fight at any time. Conversely, as long as he doesn't make a move, he'll definitely not be attacked? "
Thinking about it from another perspective, this was indeed a very simple question, but it was also the best option.
However, to arrive at this final conclusion, one would have to go one big round before one could think of it.
This was a blind spot in one's thinking.
What followed next was relatively simple. Yun Yang went straight to Tie Zheng for help. Some things were handled by Tie Zheng; it was much faster and more convenient than Shui Wuyin.
