What should he do?
Li Yao still had a brand-new Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit inside his Cosmos Ring, as well as the one-time Ares Extension that could boost his damage to the maximum instantly.
They were his last trump cards.
But who knew that Wang Xi did not have other trump cards?
While he was hesitating, Wang Xi sneered. "It is indeed you. Should I call you Master Spiritual Vulture, or hehe? Now that you've been exposed, this trap has been specially prepared for you. Just wait for my Ghost Character."
Li Yao was greatly alarmed, wondering if his identity had been completely seen through. But half a second later, he realized that Wang Xi was tricking him.
"Ghostly Character, do you dare to let Ghostly Character see you in this hideous state?"
Li Yao burst into laughter, too. "Just surrender now. Your struggle is futile. We've been watching you since a long time ago. Although you have concealed your identity for almost a hundred years, you've been exposed after all. You have Ghost Character, but I have my own backup, too. Let's see whose backup arrives first."
Wang Xi was dazed for a moment. He sniffed. "Are you trying to trick me with your petty tricks?"
Li Yao sneered, too. "You are just talking nonsense. How can you really know who I am?"
The two of them glared at each other a hundred meters away from each other and rested in silence for three minutes. Naturally, neither Ghost Character nor Li Yao's backup arrived.
The atmosphere was more and more awkward. Nobody knew how to break the deadlock.
"It seems that you are all by yourself and have no accomplices," Wang Xi suddenly said.
"You're not alone.
You don't want anyone to discover your secrets and plans, "Li Yao remarked.
Li Yao mocked back.
"The fully-enclosed armor you are wearing is quite advanced. It seems to have been melted with a lot of super-tiny magical equipment. It does not look like the traditional armor of the Cultivators, and it is very different from the primeval treasures of the primeval era. It does not look like a product of the Great Zhou Dynasty, either. It seems that my guess was correct. You are not Master Spiritual Vulture," Wang Xi said.
Wang Xi continued.
"It's true that I'm not Master Spiritual Vulture. But if you were just a common eunuch, how could you have secreted such a weird crystal armor from your body and passed the identity certification of the highest level to enter the bridge? We're the same. I'm not Master Spiritual Vulture, and you are not Lead Eunuch Wang Xi, either."
Li Yao's eyes narrowed more and more, like two scimitars as thin as cicada's wings.
Wang Xi, on the other hand, was slightly dazed. Brilliance beamed out of his eyes as he mumbled, "Is this place called a bridge? It seems that you do know a lot of things."
This time, it was Li Yao's turn to be stunned. "What? You don't even know what the bridge is?"
"Should I know?"
Wang Xi frowned.
"Uh …"
Li Yao was getting more and more confused.
Wang Xi's eyes, which were almost transparent, rolled around again and again. The killing intent that had been blossoming like thorny crystals was gradually hidden below his skin. Taking a deep breath, he said casually, "Therefore, the two of us seem to be on our own, with no backup, and we both know secrets that we absolutely do not want other people to know. But as it happens, both of us know them."
"That does seem to be the case."
Li Yao said, "I am not Master Spiritual Vulture, and you are not Lead Eunuch Wang Xi. Neither of us has any reason to be here, but we are both here. Also, you can't do anything to me, and I can't kill you, either. How do you think we should deal with such an awkward situation?"
Wang Xi glanced at the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit again and again gloomily, as if he were evaluating the odds of winning if he suddenly attacked. A moment later, he smiled bitterly and said, "Yes. When both of us are highly vigilant, neither of us can do anything to the other.
"But right now, a lot of Cultivators beyond our control are running here and there inside the Nuwa warship."
Li Yao stared at his opponent, not letting go of the tiniest shiver on Wang Xi's body. He added, "They are all guys who can't do anything right. If they mess around and sabotage the critical parts inside the warship, I'm afraid that neither of us wants that to happen."
"The Nuwa warship."
Wang Xi blinked and said, "So, the real name of the Divine Palace is the Nuwa warship?"
"Ah."
Li Yao was completely dumbfounded. "You were able to sneak into the bridge with your face, but you didn't know that this was the Nuwa warship."
There was another awkward silence.
"If this is some kind of trap, and you've been acting all along, then I have to say that your acting skills have reached the pinnacle of perfection. I feel like I'm about to be fooled."
Wang Xi broke the silence and said, one word after another.
"That's what I was going to say, too."
Li Yao gnashed his teeth. "If you have been acting all the time and have set up a flawless trap just to lure me into revealing my secrets, then your acting skills are indeed the most terrifying that I've ever seen in my life. I'll admit that I've been tricked by you."
"Let me make a bold guess."
Wang Xi gradually recovered from his shock. His voice was calmer and calmer. "You snuck into this place under the disguise of Master Spiritual Vulture, which means that you must have a clandestine plan. Naturally, in your eyes, I have a mysterious plan, too.
"The two of us both know part of each other's secrets. At first glance, it seems that we have to eliminate each other.
"However, I'll repeat what I said when we met last time. Neither of us has a plan that can see the light of day. Our plans may not necessarily clash, especially now that we both know a lot of things that the other party doesn't know but that we are both interested in. There may be opportunities for us to cooperate.
"After all, we are in the secret chamber right now. It is absolutely impossible for us to leave while we are restraining each other. Also, it is unlikely that the people outside can break in, either.
"If we have to attack each other, can we exchange intelligence about each other first so that we can sort through our thoughts before we attack each other? At the very least, we will know the reason why we are killed."
Li Yao tilted his head and pondered for a long time. "How do I know that you are not lying to me?"
"Of course, it is possible that we are lying to each other," Wang Xi said unhurriedly.
"However, a lot of critical information can be inferred from the deception. It's better than dying together with each other, isn't it?"
"Fair enough."
Pondering for a moment, Li Yao nodded his head quickly. "For the sake of fairness, I propose an approach. We will ask each other a question in turn. After we answer the question, the other party will ask another question. If the question is too sensitive, we can choose not to answer it and ask another question. What do you think?"
"Very good."
Wang Xi's eyes were glittering. "In order to show our sincerity, shouldn't we retract our crystal suits?"
He, or rather, she, was not a particularly enchanting woman, but her slightly mediocre face, when paired with this pair of sparkling, crystal-like beautiful eyes, was like the finishing touch, causing her entire person to show an extraordinary temperament. And when these words came out of her mouth, there was actually a faint kind of golden mouth and jade words, an aura that could not be disobeyed.
"I think so."
Li Yao nodded his head and retracted the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit. He was basically naked in front of Wang Xi, who was a mysterious person. Of course, he was under a lot of pressure.
However, it was not a good idea to continue the stalemate. He was more interested to see how Wang Xi would retract the weird crystal suit.
Li Yao tapped his forehead softly. The Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit gradually turned into streaks of brightness and was stored inside his Cosmos Ring.
The crystals around Wang Xi's body, on the other hand, were emitting ivory halos. They gradually softened and were absorbed into her body through her skin like some sort of thick liquid.
It further confirmed Li Yao's speculation that the crystal suit was not a piece of magical equipment but part of Wang Xi's body. It was similar to the features that Li Yao had when his primeval cells were activated, such as scales, bone spurs, and energy-gathering crystals, except that they were weirder, if not more advanced.
Li Yao had met countless bizarre demons in the Blood Demon Sector, including some of the weird mutants among the chaotic-blood demons. But he had never heard of anyone who could produce a super high-level crystal suit from their body, not to mention that they could change their gender freely.
"Since I ambushed you just now, please ask your questions first, Lord Wang."
Li Yao thought quickly and asked.
Wang Xi was right. Even if they were to fabricate a lie, they would have to be based on the pieces of the truth. Also, the questions that the enemy raised might contain the truth that they were trying to hide.
Therefore, it was not necessarily advantageous to ask questions, and it was not necessarily disadvantageous to answer answers, either.
"Alright."
Wang Xi seemed even more anxious than Li Yao. She couldn't wait to ask. "You said that this place is called the Nuwa warship. What is it exactly?"
Li Yao was surprised. "If Lord Wang knows the password of this place, you passed all the identity checks, and you were the one who initiated the search for the Divine Palace in the beginning. Even the map was found by you. Why do you not know what this place is exactly?"
Wang Xi sniffed. "I'm the one asking the questions."
Li Yao thought of something. There was no need to hide the question. If Wang Xi was a spy of the Imperium of True Human Beings or some other mysterious force, there was no reason that she did not know about the Nuwa warship.
The primeval war between the Pangu Clan and the Nuwa Clan was not a secret in the Imperium of True Human Beings or the Alliance of the Holy Covenant. The files that they knew could only be more than those of the Xing Yao Federation.
Therefore, if Wang Xi did not ask the question to lower Li Yao's wariness on purpose, she really did not know anything about it.
"The Nuwa warship is a warship of the Nuwa Clan from the prehistoric civilization. Judging from the configuration and structure of the warship, it is probably a medium-sized assault warship, which is mainly used for battles in the orbit of a planet, but it can also carry out sudden assault missions within the atmosphere."
