Gao Wu: I can portray characters from all realms.

Compared to Yu Xingshi's somewhat preconceived guess, Tang Luo's guess was more logical.

The fact that the prime minister leaked the detailed diagram of the formation is still too illogical.

In comparison, the idea that "Silver Moon wants to take it all for itself" makes perfect sense.

No matter how powerful the "Netherworld Cult" is, a city with a population of over a million, Blood Sacrifice, would never send only this many people.

A strong presence also means intense competition, especially since the entry threshold for the "Netherworld Cult" is not high, making it almost impossible for resources to be surplus.

If the enemy is weak, then it is even more important to send someone.

Weakness means there's not much room for improvement. Now that there's a city's blood sacrifice, we shouldn't remain indifferent no matter what.

However, this is different from the fact that "Silver Moon" chose to hold the event during Prince Duan's birthday banquet.

Her deception should be dealt with even more swiftly.

Even with the greatest certainty, anything can happen as time goes on.

So why did she do this? And what is her relationship with Prince Duan and Qin He?

Tang Luo pondered, tapping his fingertips on the table repeatedly, but couldn't find much of a clue.

Even the smartest mind needs enough information to deduce the truth. Let alone him, he wasn't particularly smart; at most, he was just rather meticulous.

After a long silence, he said again, "We might need to go to the Prince Duan's residence."

When Tang Luo asked this question, he once again felt the power of 'mind reading'.

Intelligence isn't so easy to obtain; as the saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle."

But in most cases, it's difficult to know oneself, let alone know the enemy.

But mind reading is possible; just a stroll through the Prince Duan's mansion will reveal all sorts of information.

"How do we get in?" Zhang He asked, quickly writing in seal script.

Upon hearing this, Tang Luo pondered for a moment.

There are only two ways to enter Prince Duan's mansion: one overt and one covert.

Openly, they would use the previous relationship between [Blood Blade Ancestor] and the Duan Prince's Mansion to gain entry.

In the shadows, just like before, they sneaked in.

Both methods have their advantages and disadvantages.

If we go straight to the point, the biggest problem is "Silver Moon".

Tang Luo was certain that the current 'Silver Moon' would not be able to find him unless he was directly tracked. Otherwise, even if he searched the entire Eastern Mausoleum, the Silver Moon would not be able to find him and Zhang He.

But once they show up at the Prince Duan's residence, things will be different. Even though there are differences in the extent of their injuries, there are too many other coincidences. If they act openly, they should be prepared to be discovered!

But the benefits are also obvious.

"Safety," at least until Silvermoon finds out.

Openly, one can have multiple opportunities to access the layout of the Prince Duan's mansion, allowing one to determine the eldest prince's character before making any plans. However, doing so covertly is not feasible.

The Prince Duan's Mansion is much more powerful than the City Lord's Mansion. If Silver Moon can detect their presence, she certainly can too within the Prince Duan's Mansion.

Prince Duan's strength is far greater than Yin Yue's, and besides, there is probably more than one innate expert in Prince Duan's mansion.

The risk of infiltrating is too high.

On the contrary, the risk of being discovered by Silvermoon is not high.

As long as that evil spirit is not around, Silvermoon cannot kill herself alone.

However, a large part of the risk of either option is based on the premise that "there is a problem with the Prince Duan's residence". If there is no problem with the Prince Duan's residence, then going openly is the better choice. If there is a problem with the Prince Duan's residence, then both options are extremely dangerous.

But the latter is still smaller.

After all, communication between Yinyue and the Duanwang Mansion takes time, and this time difference can be justified.

After pondering for a moment, Tang Luo made a decision and then turned to look at Zhang He again.

"What level of capability are you currently capable of?"

"Beyond the innate, one can distinguish between truth and falsehood."

Those whose minds are not firm due to their innate nature can be mind-reading.

Tang Luo looked at Zhang He, who was frantically scribbling on the paper, and nodded slightly: "I have to say, your handwriting is much more fluent than your speech."

Get ready, I'll have someone take you in tomorrow.

"tomorrow?"

"Speed ​​is of the essence in war!"

………………

The next day, an elderly man with a refined and otherworldly air, but whose face was slightly pale, gently knocked on the door of the small courtyard.

With three light and three heavy knocks, Zhang He opened the door.

Tang Luo, who resembled Wang Chongyang, said softly, "I am the person Xiao Luo mentioned last night, and also Lao Ke's senior brother. Today, I will take you into the Duan Prince's Mansion."

You don't need to say anything more, I know everything.

Zhang He remained silent, seemingly having activated mind reading, but frowned slightly.

Seeing his expression, Tang Luo recalled last night.

"Can you read my mind?" Tang Luo asked.

Zhang He shook his head: "You, [Old Ke], and that [Senior Brother], are all very special."

They are all similar to the two from yesterday in terms of innate constitution.

"Able to distinguish truth from falsehood, but unable to fathom the heart."

Although the situation is unknown, it seems that only some superficial thoughts can be read from him, which means that even very superficial words will be judged as true as long as he believes them to be true.

Furthermore, with other people serving as examples, there's no need to worry about Zhang He discovering that they are the same person.

After all, there are quite a few things that can be defied.

Tang Luo pondered for a moment, then looked up at Zhang He, who pulled out two packets of "Body Tempering Powder" from somewhere and poured them into his mouth.

After he finished eating, Tang Luo turned around and walked towards the Prince Duan's residence, saying in a telepathic voice as he walked, "Let's go."

Remember, besides uncovering the plan, the more important purpose of our trip is to determine whether the eldest and second princes are in cahoots.

Even if the two are of equal strength, the threat they pose is definitely different.

Despite coming from the same family, the eldest son has to work much harder and is much smarter, and naturally, he faces much greater dangers.

While Tang Luo was talking, he wasn't idle either. Wang Chongyang's innate internal energy circulated and tempered throughout his limbs and bones, constantly strengthening his physical body once again.

Zhang He nodded without saying a word, but at that moment, he had already fully opened his mind-reading ability.

At the main entrance of Prince Duan's residence, in front of the stone lion statue, a guard raised his spear and blocked the two men's path: "Halt! What are you doing?!"

Tang Luo took out an ancient bronze token from his pocket and handed it to the guard: "I came at the invitation of the Crown Prince's friend, and I have this order as proof."

The token in his hand was the one used by the [Blood Blade Ancestor] to enter and exit the library. Qin Chen did not take it back when he left, and now it came in handy.

The guard glanced at the token, then wiped his eyes as if incredulous. He looked at it again, and a rather unsightly smile immediately spread across his face. His straight back hunched over, and he said humbly, "Sir, please forgive me for my rudeness earlier."

"You're looking for the eldest son, right? I'll lead you there right away."

The guard bowed and led the way, a stark contrast to his previous imposing manner. Tang Luo shook his head: "Sir, there's no need for that. You're just following the rules. There's no need to worry about what this old Taoist priest will do."

As Tang Luo finished speaking, the guard remained humble, which made Tang Luo shake his head slightly.

Before long, the guard led Tang Luo to the Yuan Cong Hall: "Please wait a moment, gentlemen, while I go and inform them."

At this moment, Tang Luo noticed that the guard seemed much more confident, at least not as frightened as before.

"Who gave it to you? This eldest prince?"

Meanwhile, familiar humming and hawing sounds came from inside, the sounds of martial arts practice.

"Cultivating again?! This young master is certainly diligent."

As Tang Luo pondered, he saw Qin Chen, shirtless and incredibly strong, walk out and look at Tang Luo and Qin Chen with some confusion.

Tang Luo bowed and said somewhat apologetically, "I am the senior brother of 'Blood Blade,' surnamed Wang, named Chongyang. You can call me 'Chongyang' or 'Chongyang Hermit'."

Blood Blade had gained some insights earlier and was preparing to go into seclusion after returning home, not wanting to see anyone outside. Coincidentally, I had failed to break through to a higher realm before, so he recommended that I come here to take a look.

They always praised His Highness the Crown Prince for his wisdom, courage, and exceptional benevolence, and said that if he made any breakthroughs, he would personally come to express his gratitude in the future.

"By the way, I'll return this token to you." Tang Luo finished speaking and handed the token to Qin Chen.

Qin Chen shook his head and smiled, "Once something is given away, there's no reason to take it back." With that, he gestured towards the Yuan Cong Hall, "Gentlemen, why don't you come into my humble abode and sit down for a more detailed discussion?"

Tang Luo nodded, signaling Zhang He to follow behind him. He then walked into the Yuan Cong Hall, introducing Zhang He as he went: "This man is named Zhang He. He is a disciple of my other senior brother, Ke Zhen'e. However, Old Ke had to go back in a hurry and didn't have time to bring him back."

He was entrusted to my care, so I brought him here. I hope Your Highness will not take offense.

"No, no~" Qin Chen quickly waved his hand, while Tang Luo took the opportunity to observe the situation inside the hall.

To his surprise, another 'acquaintance' of his was also in the small courtyard inside the hall.
