<h4>Chapter 1160: Chapter 1162: Backstage Assistance</h4>
At this moment, inside the old mansion.
Yuwen Kangshi sat on the sofa, his eyes closed in deep thought. Suddenly, ayer of ck aura enveloped him, slowly transforming into the likeness of a giant human face.
"You’ve summoned me again. What do you want me to do this time?"
A deep voice resounded.
Yuwen Kangshi slowly opened his eyes, "Help me steal the Yin Summoning Talisman."
The ck face showed no expression, but its tone revealed disdain for Yuwen Kangshi, "It’s not that I look down on you, but with your current power, you cannot control the Yin Summoning Talisman."
Yuwen Kangshi nced at it indifferently, "The Yin Summoning Talisman isn’t for me to use; it’s a bargaining chip for negotiation with others."
The ck face chuckled, "I’ve been hiding in your body for twenty years; do you think I don’t understand your intentions? You’re unwilling to just give away the Yin Summoning Talisman; you’ll eventually find a way to take it back!"
Yuwen Kangshi’s eyes turned cold, "Are you going to help or not?"
The ck face continued, "After helping you so much, when will you start helping me?"
Yuwen Kangshi’s eyes flickered, "Your demands are too high; I need to take it slowly."
"Ha, slowly? I bet you’re nning to go back on your word!"
As it spoke, the ck face suddenly grewrger, its sinister features terrifying to behold.
"I know you as well as I know myself since I’ve resided in your body for so long. Do you think I don’t understand the kind of person you are?"
The figure snorted coldly and said, "You want to control me, want to turn all my abilities to your use, right?"
Long ago, when he took the heir position, he had already sensed this. If his Primordial Spirit hadn’t been destroyed, leaving only a fragment needing to hide in a human body, he would never tolerate Yuwen Kangshi.
Yuwen Kangshi chuckled lightly, "Zun Di, I know your powers are vast, but have you thought that after being in my body for over twenty years, you’ve already fused with it? You can treat my body as your own, free to do whatever you wish!"
The ck face, known as Zun Di, shook its head and drifted directly in front of Yuwen Kangshi, ring icily, "Yuwen Kangshi, don’t y tricks on me. From now on, bring me ny-nine robust men, and I’ll help youplete this task!"
Yuwen Kangshi squinted his eyes, "Ny-nine?"
"Only by absorbing the essence of men can I gradually manifest into human form. If you agree, I’ll help you acquire the Yin Summoning Talisman effortlessly. How about it?"
Yuwen Kangshi fell silent; ny-nine men meant ny-nine lives!
Zun Di seemed to have read Yuwen Kangshi’s thoughts, and he sneered, "Are you getting soft-hearted? I didn’t see such softness when you killed the Housekeeper, nor when you framed Yuwen Kangli. Why is it that you soften when ites to strangers?"
Yuwen Kangshi pressed his lips tightly. As if having made a significant decision, he looked up abruptly, "When you say ’acquire the Yin Summoning Talisman,’ do you mean it ultimately ends up in my hands?"
Zun Di nodded, "Exactly. I know you’ve made a deal with Lian Chengyu to have him kill the Old Master, but have you thought about what happens if he fails? Lian Chengyu has failed twice; it’s a significant blow to him."
Yuwen Kangshi’s eyes narrowed with shock, "How do you know all this?"
Then, quickly, he realized, "You infiltrated his consciousness!"
Zun Di chuckled a few times, "Infiltrating someone’s consciousness is quite normal. Otherwise, how could I have helped you aplish so much in the past? It’s through infiltrating others’ minds, knowing their thoughts, and strategizing beforehand that we seed."
Yuwen Kangshi’s face turned a bit sour. He despised when Zun Di reminded him of past sesses credited to their coboration.
"What else did you discover?"
Yuwen Kangshi asked.
Zun Di smiled and said, "I found out that Gao Weijie’s Demon Swordcks a Sword Soul!"
"What?" Yuwen Kangshi looked at him in shock, "The Demon Sword without a Sword Soul?"
A Demon Sword without a Sword Soul is like a person without a soul; just an empty shell.
"However, they seem to know where the Sword Soul is and n to take action on it."
Yuwen Kangshi’s gaze turned sharp as he asked, "Where is the Sword Soul?"
Zun Di snorted lightly, "You should give up trying to seek the Sword Soul. It’s with Chu Ge, and you’re no match for him. Moreover, Chu Ge is surrounded by many experts; you can’t get close to him."
Yuwen Kangshi chuckled coldly, "I may not be able to, but don’t I have you?"
Zun Di paused, bursting into more heartyughter, "Me? You overestimate me. While I can help with your previous requests, I can’t directly confront those at the level of Chu Ge and his Innate Grandmaster allies, including Lian Chengyu. I can infiltrate their consciousness without them noticing but can’t engage in direct conflict."
Yuwen Kangshi pressed his lips together, "You just said the Sword Soul is with Chu Ge. Who is it?"
He shook his head gently, "I don’t know; I couldn’t find that out."
Yuwen Kangshi squinted, his gazeced with disbelief as he looked at him.
Zun Di yawned, then said to Yuwen Kangshi, "Summon me if you’ve thought it through; if not, don’t summon me, as I won’te out."
With that, the human head formed from ck aura dissipated on its own.
The room returned to quiet, and Yuwen Kangshi resumed sitting on the sofa, his mind reying Zun Di’s words.
The Sword Soul is with Chu Ge?
He pondered for a moment, then stood up, changed his clothes, and left.
Even if he’s not a match for Chu Ge now, he still wanted to see for himself what the so-called Sword Soul looked like!
With this thought, he headed towards the Gambling Stone Field.
Meanwhile, the Housekeeper, having been living with Chu Ge and feeling guilty of freeloading, volunteered to prepare dinner and breakfast for everyone after hearing that Ouyang Die was going home. During the day, he usually helped out behind the bar.
