Full of loopholes

"What problem have you discovered?" Hearing our conversation, the old man of that light couldn't help but ask curiously.

"What problem? There are many. Everything you've done is full of loopholes, don't you know?" I looked at the old man and said.

"It's impossible. I carefully designed everything beforehand. There can be no loopholes!" The old man of that light said.

"Your so-called careful design refers to the pregnant woman you killed with your own hands and the flower wine brewed from her resentment, right?" I looked at the old man of that light and asked.

"How did you know..." Hearing my words, the old man of that light was shocked.

"Hmph! Since I've seen through your identity, then naturally that wine isn't real. And if that wine isn't real, then it must be true that the dead woman was killed by you. Am I not right?" I sneered and asked.

"Fine! You're right about this one thing. What about others?" The old man of that light asked unwillingly.

"You have been deliberately hiding your strength all along; this is something I noticed a long time ago."

"Hiding one's strength is a subconscious action for everyone; you cannot suspect me because of this."

"You claimed not to know anything about ghost possession even after I found out about it myself. You even pretended to be ignorant and said those things were created by Motu Yin Hun to deal with some false gods or something like that. But such claims are simply untenable because those ghost possessions are very weak in power - even if they fully erupt, they would only possess three-star Yin King power which is laughable when trying to deal with false gods. Therefore, this is a major point of suspicion."

"Yes! Those ghost possessions were indeed not used to deal with false gods; instead, their purpose was for reconnaissance and surveillance - to collect intelligence. As for the explosive state of ghost possession, it was to eliminate those who captured and coerced them." The old man of that light laughed.

"Besides this, there are many other suspicious points. For example, the road you took us on into the mountains was very tortuous and ridiculous. Do you know that? You even made us dig through a stone wall to get in. I don't believe that after staying in Motu Mountain for so long, you didn't know the way into the mountain."

"This point is also correct; I did want too much to gain your trust. There's a saying: going too far is as bad as not going far enough - it refers to this."

"You know it yourself," I sneered and looked at him, "there's another loophole which has been with you all along." While speaking, I pointed my finger at the wine jug in his hand and said: "Is what's inside your wine jug really just alcohol?"

"That wine pot contains the head of King Wu, and there is even a teleportation array on top of the head. Am I right?" I asked Zhiguang Lao Ren.

"Amazing, I didn't expect you to guess that too. You are truly extraordinary," Zhiguang Lao Ren said as he coldly snorted and crushed his wine pot with his five fingers.

As the wine pot shattered, a golden-haired skeleton skull appeared with strange patterns imprinted on its braincase - it was indeed the Teleportation Array. Everything confirmed my speculation.

"You control King Wu's body and soul through his head so that you can control Mount Modu entirely. At the same time, you constantly absorb pure Yin energy from Washed Yin Stones using that Teleportation Array which is why you keep drinking alcohol. In fact, you don't like drinking at all; every time you drink, it's actually to absorb Yin energy, isn't it?"

"Now that you know this much about me, do you think your intelligence is enough to challenge my power? Shouldn't you hand over those Four Symbols Divine Swords to me now?" Zhiguang Lao Ren looked at me and asked.

"Do you think it's possible? Or do you think my IQ is so low? Although Four Symbols Divine Swords are divine weapons and very powerful in their own right, they are still just divine weapons after all - compared to Immortal Weapons they're simply rubbish! So if I give them to you first thing tomorrow morning what will happen next? You'll kill me immediately for my Immortal Weapons because once someone has an Immortal Weapon they can ensure their successful ascension." I sneered at him while looking into his eyes: "Am I wrong?"

"You're not wrong but do think it matters? Even if have both divine weapons and immortal ones in your hands now what good would they be against me?" As Zhiguang Lao Ren spoke, he suddenly threw the skull in his hand towards the throne beside him.

With a light sound of "bang," the skull smashed Wu Wang's jade mask and merged with his body. Then, Wu Wang opened his eyes wide and shot out two purple-red rays of light. Immediately after that, his entire body stood up from the throne.

"I don't even need to do it myself; let my puppet Golden-Haired Ape play with you first. I want to see if you can withstand its attacks!" With a cold snort, Zhiguang Lao Ren flew into the air like an immortal being - elegant and graceful as he manipulated King Wu's corpse charging towards us using hand seals.

"YiHeng, just leave this Golden-Haired Ape to me; you focus on dealing with Zhiguang Lao Thief." Seeing Wu Wang's corpse rushing over, Fengyun Sanren waved his long sword and rushed out first.

"Damn it! Who are you? Why are you stopping me?" Seeing Fengyun Sanren's actions, Zhiguang Lao Ren couldn't help but angrily ask.

"Hehehe...Zhiguang Lao Thief, don't tell me that you still don't know who I am? Hahaha..." As Fengyun Sanren spoke while blocking King Wu's corpse attack at the same time he looked up at Zhiguang Lao Ren: "Two thousand years ago when you cheated Gan Jiang Mo Ye's son for fame and fortune by obtaining Ganjiang Sword from him then beheaded him for good measure did it ever occur to you that everything was already known because there were people under Gan Jiang Mo Ye who were truly loyal!"

"You...you're a descendant of Mo Family Gold Man!"

Hearing what Fengyun Sanren said made Zhiguang Lao Ren stunned for a moment before showing an expression of shock on his face.
