Facing the rebuttal from the Taoist sects that deceive beings, Heart Devotion seemed to be explaining something.

But Li Huowang wasn't listening. Heart Devotion's revengeful actions would ultimately backfire on him, and Li Huowang could already imagine how the Taoist sects that deceive beings would use his identity to manipulate them.

But compared to seeing the other party suffer, the most important thing now was what he should do next.

After careful consideration, Li Huowang decided on what he should do next.

"This job is too dangerous. Whether it's our own people or enemies, they're all after me. Instead of continuing to stir things up in this situation, I'd better stay out of it for now."

"I'll wait for them to start fighting and then come out from behind. In this ghostly place, no one can be trusted except myself. At least I won't deceive myself."

After taking another look at the four people who were gradually walking away and regrouping in the distance, Li Huowang, who was in stealth mode, grabbed a tile and flipped over the beam, slowly following behind.

He saw that the other three were no longer arguing with the fake Li Huowang disguised as the Taoist sects that deceive beings. Heart Devotion must have suffered a loss and was forced to admit that the Taoist sects that deceive beings were real.

But looking at Heart Devotion's cautious behavior, he should be on guard against the Taoist sects that deceive beings at all times.

Temporarily setting aside his suspicions about their identities, they seemed to be looking for something.

Li Huowang knew what they were looking for. They were looking for the memory stone. After the collapse of the Buddhist temple, the memory stone with the golden abacus disappeared, which was very suspicious.

"Since the thing they're looking for is gone, where could the memory stone be now?" Seeing the four people starting to walk towards the side hall, Li Huowang quickly accelerated his pace and followed them.

But just as Li Huowang was about to enter, a hand patted him on the shoulder.

Li Huowang instantly broke out in a cold sweat. He was clearly in stealth mode, yet someone could still see him!

He drew his sword and turned around, only to see a man dressed like a scholar standing behind him.

"Wow~" The fan in the scholar's hand opened, and four large calligraphy characters were written on it: "Born with talent."

"Is your name Erjiu? It's very strange. Your five elements, fire and gold, are still there, but why are the other three missing?"

Li Huowang frowned and stared at the person of unknown origin in front of him, his vigilance at its peak.

In this eerie place, this person's identity could have too many possibilities, the biggest possibility being that the Taoist sects that deceive beings were playing tricks on him.

Perhaps worse, this person was the Taoist sects that deceive beings who could not be seen. He made up his mind that if this person made any suspicious moves, he would attack him directly.

"Does the knife in your face hurt? Why don't you take it out? And that's the knife of a debtor. You borrowed his knife, and he will take away your fortune."

With a wave of his fan, the rusty blade on Li Huowang's face was pulled out one after another, and then another wave of the fan caused the wound on Li Huowang's face to quickly heal.

As soon as the scholar moved, Li Huowang's fire sickle was already pressed against his skin.

"Who are you?" Li Huowang asked him sternly.

Seeing the deep vigilance in Li Huowang's eyes, the scholar sighed and stopped, seemingly thinking about something.

After a few moments, the scholar spoke again. "Forget it.""I still have some things to attend to, so I'll be leaving now. Since you've joined the Monitoring Bureau, you should live well. Sometimes, ignorance is also a kind of blessing."

As he spoke, the scholar bent down and took out a black spindle from his pocket, placing it on the ground. "I'll leave you something. This thing is more useful than the mask on your face."

After leaving the spindle, the scholar didn't do anything else. He nodded approvingly at Li Huowang before turning and walking towards the outside of the Buddha Bone Temple.

"See you later, Erjiu. I'm Zhuge Yuan. If you encounter any problems that you can't solve, remember to come find me on Xing Island in the West Sea. Although my abilities are limited, I'll do my best to help you."

The scholar left, and Li Huowang remained standing in place, feeling strange about the scholar's behavior. After thinking about it carefully for a long time, he finally realized that it was an extremely rare act of kindness in this world.

This was the first time he had experienced such direct kindness, as he had only felt it in his hallucinations before.

Even Mrs. Master Jingxin had never expressed it so openly, as she always buried her kindness in her heart.

After a brief moment of confusion, Li Huowang shook his head vigorously, his eyes firm.

"No! That scholar must have ulterior motives! I can't let him deceive me. I've already suffered enough losses, and I can't fall into the same trap again."

Li Huowang glanced at the black spindle on the ground and turned to walk towards the side hall.

Today's task and the people he encountered made Li Huowang feel very uncomfortable.

But he couldn't pinpoint exactly what was wrong, as if he was looking at flowers in the mist and couldn't see clearly.

When Li Huowang entered the side hall again, he was suddenly stunned.

The four people from before had become six people now, with a new Heartbroken Monk and Hong Da joining them.

Watching them fiercely arguing about something, Li Huowang smiled. "This is interesting."

Li Huowang brushed off the dust on his body, adjusted his Taoist robe, sheathed his sword, stepped over the threshold of the side hall's door, and joined them.

Seeing Li Huowang walk in, the Li Huowang inside the hall widened his eyes and slapped his forehead. "Wow, another one!"

"This person is the real Erjiu."

"This person is fake. He's from the Taoist sect that deceives beings."

The two Heartbroken Monks gave completely different answers using their Heart-to-Heart Connection.

Li Huowang looked at the two Heartbroken Monks and couldn't distinguish which one was the fake from the Taoist sect and which one was the real monk trying to trap him.

The hall became chaotic for a while, and the identification of the real and the fake became ineffective after the arrival of the new Heartbroken Monk. No one could tell who was real and who was fake.

Several times, it almost came to blows, but with the persuasion of others, it didn't escalate to violence.

At this moment, Li Huowang was the most indifferent among them. He didn't need to distinguish between the real and the fake; he was just here to watch the show.

When they finally settled on a winner, that would be the time for him to act.

Looking at the chaos in front of him, Li Huowang's mouth curled up slightly. He could understand the Taoist sect's thinking a little better now.

When something didn't concern him, it was really interesting to watch."Enough!" An angry voice of a male duck made everyone stop talking and turn their heads towards the entrance of the hall.

It was Ji Xiang, who walked in with a shrunken brain in his hand, now only half its original size.

His sparse eyebrows were trembling with anger, and his expression was extremely ugly.

As he walked past the crowd, he looked at the two identical Li Huowangs, the two identical Hong Das, and the two identical lovesick monks in front of him.

Staring at the head in his hand, Ji Xiang slowly opened his mouth and said, "What are you still playing around for? This is the head that brings wealth! The one who brings wealth is already dead!"

This sentence instantly made everyone present feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave. The one who brings wealth, one of the three elements, was dead like this. How powerful was the person who killed him?
