Ge Nie's intention was very clear, he wanted to make a deal with them.
The two Xinghuns asked him to meet the imprisoned woman first, and he would not interfere with their next actions.
At first glance, Xinghun looked at this transaction as a complete loss-making deal.
Star Soul didn't know why Gai Nie suddenly appeared on the mirage and in the Zibei Water Pavilion.
But at least one thing is certain - this guy is not taking the normal route.
Mirage belongs to the empire and is the home of Xinghun and the others, but Genie is a rebel and a wanted criminal.
The identities and status of the two parties are not equal at all. Only when Xinghun is full will he agree to Gai Nie's deal.
But perhaps because things have been going wrong lately, Xinghun, who has always been arrogant and conceited, has rarely considered the consequences of taking action.
First of all, even though he didn't want to admit it, it was unlikely that he and Yun Zhongjun could defeat Ge Nie together.
Of course, he didn't think he would lose, he just thought the situation would reach a stalemate.
Then the news of their fight will attract the Yin Yang family disciples on the ship, as well as the Shadow Secret Guard agents who have just settled in.
As a disciple of the Yin Yang family, the star soul can be ignored. After all, as a protector, he has almost the power of life and death over ordinary disciples.
The Shadow Guard's spies and Star Soul don't care, the mirage is the territory of the Yin Yang family after all.
Frightened by Gu Xun's pressure, they had no choice but to allow the Shadow Guards to garrison the mirage, but that was all.
The Shadow Guards have no right to interfere with anything on the mirage. In other words, they are just a group of humanoid puppets that automatically patrol to defend against enemies.
But if the battle between him and Gai Nie attracts the Moon God, it will be difficult to deal with.
If it attracts the attention of Gu Xun who has already left the mirage, it will be a big bad thing.
When it comes to exploring the secret cage hidden under the Zibei Water Pavilion, Star Soul and Moon God have maintained a certain degree of tacit understanding - that is, both sides ignore the other's actions to a certain extent, and even slightly cooperate with each other's actions.
But this tacit understanding is fragile and empty, and anyone can fall out at any time if they want to.
The reason why Xinghun was in a hurry to take action was because he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to get things done so as not to cause further trouble if the Moon God found out.
Since this cage was deliberately hidden, it meant that Donghuang Taiyi did not want anyone to come into contact with the imprisoned people.
His behavior was taboo and a 'mistake'.
Moon God, who has gained more trust from Donghuang Taiyi in this matter, can stop all his actions in a reasonable and legal manner, and even further interfere with his future actions.
Thousands of miles apart, Xinghun doesn't have to be as fearful of Donghuang Taiyi as he did when he was in Jiugong, the divine capital of the headquarters, and he doesn't dare to disobey him in the slightest.
But it is impossible to completely ignore the name of Donghuang Taiyi as the head coach.
He couldn't let the Moon God seize all the initiative and let himself fall into passivity and disadvantage.
From this point of view, it would not be a wise choice to take action with Gai Nie rashly.
The thoughts of Yun Zhongjun on the side are much simpler - it's not that he doesn't have the brain to think more complicatedly and carefully, but it's just that it's not necessary.
There was no need for him to think about this situation at all, he could just leave everything to Xinghun.
Ge Nie's status as a wanted criminal and rebel can be basically ignored by him - he is not a high-ranking official in the empire, let alone the royal family of the empire, so why should he worry about it?
He is a man who loves to work hard, knows the world, and doesn't like to make enmities and grudges with others.
Before Gai Nie defected, the two still had a somewhat dispensable friendship, so there was no need to take a stand against Gai Nie at this time.
Of course, he couldn't express his support for Ge Nie or cause Xinghun's dissatisfaction.
If Xinghun is willing to talk, let Xinghun do the talking.
If Xinghun wants to take action, let Xinghun do it.
As for him, he can just watch from the sidelines and wait until the time comes to take action.
He will help whoever wins.
Xinghun looked at Gai Nie uncertainly and asked, "Why should I trade with you?"
"This is a mirage, and Mr. Gai, you are just a rebel!"
Gai Nie ignored Star Soul's question - he should be very clear about why he wanted to trade Star Soul. If he didn't have any scruples in his heart, Gai Nie didn't believe he could restrain his temper and not take action directly.
It's pointless to dwell on such meaningless questions, and besides, Genie really can't answer them.
The previous performances of Xinghun and Yun Zhongjun showed that they were definitely not doing anything aboveboard and had to be secretive.
It was precisely after Genie grasped this that he decided to make a deal with them to achieve his goal.
But why Xinghun is so sneaky and what scruples he has in his heart, Gai Nie has no way of knowing.
As a disciple of Guigu and a descendant of Zongheng, Gai Nie is best at analyzing the situation, grasping the situation, taking advantage of the situation, and manipulating the situation...but he has not opened his eyes.
But that's not important.
It doesn't matter what a mine looks like, as long as it can explode.
"This is just a deal, you can refuse." After a moment of silence, Ge Nie replied in a deep voice, not polite at all.
Given Xinghun's character, it would be meaningless whether Gai Nie took the initiative to give in or make a guarantee.
Showing weakness to Xinghun will only make him think twice.
You have to respond to him forcefully.
Gai Nie's response made Xinghun's face look even more ugly, but he still restrained himself from taking action, which showed that Gai Nie's strategy was correct.
Star Soul, on the other hand, was caught in a tangle.
Star Soul has no psychological pressure when making a deal with a rebel like Gai Nie.
He doesn't care how much harm Genie does to the empire.
But he cares about whether Gai Nie will pose a danger to the Yin Yang family... to be more precise, whether Gai Nie will pose a danger to him.
If he doesn't understand this, he won't feel at ease.
"Who do you want to see?" Xinghun asked a question after hesitating for a while.
Gai Nie responded calmly, "The Star Soul Protector should know the answer to this question very well."
It is still not certain that the woman Tianming mentioned is the former Princess Yan, so Gai Nie cannot answer and can only fool her in this way.
Fortunately, Xinghun didn't dwell on this question - the woman's identity was difficult to explain clearly, so Gai Nie's cryptic answer was normal.
His focus is on the next question:
"You are looking for her... As a sword master, you are also interested in Canglong Qisu?"
"I'm looking for her for a private matter that has nothing to do with your Yin Yang family or the empire." Gai Nie replied calmly.
Ge Nie simply ignored the topic of Canglong Qisu.
He is not interested in this stuff and there is no need to dwell on this issue.
However, Xinghun did not directly believe Gai Nie's answer. He stared at the other party with cold eyes, neither responding nor asking other questions.
Gainie saw what he meant - he wanted to give a more clear answer himself.
After thinking about it, Gai Nie continued, "I want to ask her how to undo the Six Souls Horror Curse."
When Xinghun heard this, he was stunned at first, and then his face darkened, and his palms were trembling slightly because of his emotional instability.
Da Siming had previously reported to him that he had planted the Six Soul Fear Curse on the boy named Tianming.
As soon as Gai Nie said the six-soul terror curse, Xinghun immediately remembered this incident, and then the dark history of being seriously injured by Tianming - of course, he did not admit that he was injured by Tianming, but thought that he was injured by Tianming.
He was plotted by others.
In a sense, Xinghun's point of view is not wrong.
After adjusting his mood, Xinghun's face looked a little better, and he snorted coldly and replied, "There is no solution to the Six Souls Horror Curse. Mr. Gai can save some trouble."
"There is no solution. Gai will seek verification on his own. It only depends on whether the Star Soul Protector agrees to the deal." Gai Nie responded calmly.
After Xinghun pondered for a while, he finally chose to accept the deal.
In fact, with his suspicious and arrogant character, he is not willing to trust Gai Nie, even though Gai Nie's reputation is excellent in the eyes of anyone who knows him, and even if the reason for seeking a way to lift the Six Souls Horror Curse is very reasonable.
He still suspected that Genie had other agendas and was hiding evil intentions.
But most things in the world require two powers, which are nothing more than the power of two benefits or the power of two harms.
Xinghun didn't want to let Gai Nie go to see that woman, nor did he want to start a fight with Gai Nie here.
But he must choose one.
The former may harm the interests of the empire, the interests of the Yin Yang family, and even have a certain chance of harming his own interests.
And the latter... will only harm his own interests, and will definitely harm his interests.
Xinghun obviously did not have the selfless spirit to sacrifice himself for others and the small for the greater, so he decisively sold the empire and the Yin Yang Family.
It's the lesser of two evils, and Xinghun is not a person who can't settle accounts.
………………
On the other side, Gao Jianli and Xue Nu, who had returned without success, were leaving Yunxiao Pavilion as quickly as possible and returning to the mirage deck.
When they arrive on the deck, they will immediately send a signal to the bandits to rescue people, then join them and go to find Gai Nie together.
But this is a job that requires them to compete for time.
Maybe, those people from the empire on the mirage will be one step ahead of them.
And Gao Jianli's worries finally came true.
They had just rushed out of the Sakura Garden along the same path when they heard a sharp and sharp explosion, followed by an explosion.
This is not an emergency signal from the Mo family, it is naturally from the empire.
Maybe it's the Yin Yang family, maybe it's the Shadow Guard, in short...it's not good news.
Gao Jianli and others sent a signal, which caught each other off guard.
Now that the other party has sent the signal first, it means that the two of them have to face a fully prepared enemy.
As the signal blew, all the secret guards on the mirage immediately began to take action.
Zhang Han and his men slowly surrounded Gao Jianli and Xue Nu.
As early as when the two of them broke into Yunxiao Pavilion, the shadow secret guards sent by Zhang Han had already discovered the clues.
The reason why the signal was sent now was naturally because Zhang Han had just deployed the manpower now.
"Gao Jianli... Xue Nu... Zhang Han is honored to meet the two leaders of the Mo family." Zhang Han looked at the two of them respectively, bowed his hands and greeted them.
When looking at the snow girl, Zhang Han's eyes flickered, but his expression remained unchanged and his attitude did not change.
"Like maggots clinging to bones, like shadows... I've heard General Zhang Han's name for a long time." Gao Jianli didn't make a move directly, and raised his hand calmly to return the salute.
The snow girl remained silent.
Zhang Han's eyes consciously ignored Xue Nu and focused on Gao Jianli. He drew out Longxiang's sword and pressed it against the deck. He suddenly asked in a deep voice, "Did you invite them yourself, or do you want Zhang's brothers to do it for you?"
"Huh." Gao Jianli snorted softly and replied in a stiff tone, "The Mo family is not in the habit of taking advantage of others. It depends on your ability."
After the words fell, Gao Jianli flicked his wrist, and the slender Shui Han Sword, exuding layers of cold air, appeared in his palm.
While he rushed towards the surrounding Shadow Guards, he shouted to Yuki-onna, "Break through the encirclement as quickly as possible!"
They didn't come to the Mirage to kill the enemy. There was no need to get entangled with the Shadow Guards here. The right way was to run away as quickly as possible.
However, there was no need for Gao Jianli's reminder. Cold light flashed, and the snow girl with the green light sword in her hand was three points faster than him.
The two of them broke through in one direction, one behind the other.
That direction faces the Toad Palace.
………………
On the other side, outside the Toad Palace.
Thief Zhi, who had been waiting for the signal to take action, finally got the signal... although it was not his own signal.
But no matter who sent the signal, something must have happened somewhere on the mirage.
At this time, no matter what happens on the mirage, it must have something to do with his teammates.
So, it's time for him to take action.
The emergency signal from the Shadow Secret Guard also alerted the Shadow Secret Guard on duty at Toad Palace.
Although not all of them were evacuated, most of them were evacuated, leaving only the necessary warning manpower.
This creates a larger time window for the thief.
He easily found the right moment, his figure flashed, and he jumped directly into the Toad Palace through the window.
The real core of Toad Palace is only a few rooms in the center, and the periphery is basically a corridor that goes around in a circle.
The small window opened in the corridor became an opportunity for thieves to seize.
It has to be said that the level of the King of Thieves is different. He successfully sneaked in without alerting others. He is the only one among the three who has not made any mistakes so far.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But his luck ended here.
Thief Zhi, who entered the Toad Palace, was surprised to find that the internal defense strength of this seemingly important place was so weak that it was almost negligible.
It was a medium-sized palace, and there seemed to be no one inside. It was empty and allowed the thieves to move around at will.
After being stunned for a moment, Thief Zhi did not dare to let down his guard and cautiously moved forward inside.
After walking to the door of the inner room without encountering anyone or encountering any obstruction, Thief Zhi had to admit that this place might...probably...maybe...been undefended.
This is also understandable.
There is a high probability that the people on the mirage will not guard against intrusion every day - except for a few brave people, even the anti-Qin forces will not dare to invade here at will.
Pushing open the door, the first thing that caught Thief Zhi's eyes was a well-behaved girl kneeling in front of the desk with her head lowered.
He couldn't help but feel happy - this was probably the only orphan of the late predecessor, His Highness Gao Yue.
Time was running out, so he was too lazy to explain the situation to the other party, and planned to take the person away directly.
In just a blink of an eye, the robber ran up to the girl and stretched out his hand to take her away.
However, as soon as his hand touched the other person's body, he didn't touch anything and just missed it.
This girl is like a bubble, she looks like she exists, but feels like she has nothing.
Thief Zhi first subconsciously raised his hands and took a look, as if he was wondering if there was something wrong with the touch of his palms.
After looking around and not finding anything wrong, he grabbed the girl with both hands, but still failed completely.
The girl always lowered her head and had no reaction at all to the appearance and behavior of Robber Zhi, as if she were a dead person.
Various signs finally convinced Thief Zhi that he was under an illusion!
