Chapter 800: All Are Extreme Dao

The three people in front turned around and looked at Zheng Yingxiong with confusion.

Zheng Yingxiong took a step forward and showed them the note in his hand.

“Yinguo……?” Yun Yao slightly furrowed her brows. “Little brother, what is this note?”

Yun Yao felt that there were too many suspicious points on this note.

Zheng Yingxiong didn’t say anything; he just pointed to the alley behind him, and at that moment, the three understood his meaning.

The content on this note was very likely passed on by the Ren Hou earlier.

“What does ‘don’t become Shengxiao’ mean?” Yun Yao said. “We are Canrenzhe…… How do we become Shengxiao?”

At this point, Zheng Yingxiong and Zhang Chenze turned their heads toward Yun Yao with slight confusion, momentarily at a loss for words.

“Sister…… don’t you know?” Zheng Yingxiong said. “Every Shengxiao here was actually once……”

“Wait, enough, let’s not discuss this.” Yun Yao seemed to think of something and quickly interrupted Zheng Yingxiong, changing the topic. “Is that Ren Hou important to you?”

Zheng Yingxiong saw that the other person didn’t want to mention it, so he just nodded. “Yes, he’s very important to me.”

“Is it possible he’s misleading you?”

Zheng Yingxiong shook his head. “I don’t believe he would harm me, because he’s had countless opportunities to do so before now, but each time he protected me instead. So, the content on this note must be his true thoughts. I want to follow his instructions.”

Yun Yao kept staring at the note in his hand, remaining silent, her face not looking good.

Zhang Chenze glanced at the note and then asked, “What does ‘go find Yinguo’ mean? Is Yinguo a Huixiang?”

Zheng Yingxiong nodded after hearing this. “Yes, I’ve seen that woman before. She seems to be with Gu Yu…… and the Ren Hou.”

“What on earth is going on these days……” Yun Yao’s face darkened, her tone slightly displeased. “The first time, the iron rod pointed to a Shengxiao, and now the second time, it’s pointing to Yinguo……”

“What’s wrong……?” Zhang Chenze turned his head and asked. “Do you know that Yinguo too?”

“More than just know her.” Yun Yao scratched her head and said, “She’s from Jidao. She once went undercover in Tianguokou for years, gained my trust, and repeatedly obstructed us from clearing the games. What’s even worse is…… the over six hundred Dao that Tianguokou had collected were burned in a fire, and I suspect she did it.”

“Is that so?” Zhang Chenze blinked.

“Yes, that’s why I’m raising the question. Jidao is basically my number one enemy here—they’re numerous and act in sneaky ways, which I absolutely despise.” After saying this, Yun Yao turned to look at Zheng Yingxiong. “Yingxiong, are you really going to act based on what’s on the note?”

Zheng Yingxiong felt a bit puzzled at this moment.

These so-called Jidao had a style of operation that was strikingly similar to Gu Yu’s after he returned from traveling through various cities.

After Gu Yu came back to Yucheng, he was also working to prevent everyone from collecting enough Yu.

Zheng Yingxiong sensed that there was some information gap in their communication.

“Sisters…… Is everyone here working hard to collect fifty-seven thousand six hundred Dao?” Zheng Yingxiong asked.

“Fifty…… fifty thousand?” Zhang Chenze laughed and shook his head after hearing this. “That’s way too exaggerated…… We need to collect three thousand six hundred.”

“Three thousand six hundred……” Zheng Yingxiong nodded. “Then, do you know what happens after you collect them all?”

Zheng Yingxiong raised the question in his mind. It seemed these people had no idea about the sword hanging over their heads, which was strangely bizarre.

Zhang Chenze said with some curiosity, “Isn’t it said that collecting three thousand six hundred Dao will let you get out?”

Only then did Zheng Yingxiong finally realize where the inconsistency was. The three people in front of him knew even less about this place than he did, despite being sealed away for over a decade.

What a strange situation.

“If it were possible to get out, someone would have done it by now, right?” Zheng Yingxiong said. “As long as you collect them all……”

He was about to blurt it out but suddenly paused.

Wait a minute.

Yun Yao had mentioned that the Jidao organization was numerous, so why hadn’t they revealed the truth?

Daocheng and Yucheng were two very distinct cities; they could easily go out on the streets and share their insights without any punishment from the Jiagui.

So, why not tell everyone here that collecting three thousand six hundred Dao would lead to a major reshuffle?

Based on his interactions over the past few days, Zheng Yingxiong generally felt that Tianguokou was like a long-established organization, and Jidao was the same.

It was absurd that both of these veteran organizations didn’t know this truth, no matter how you looked at it.

Maybe their memories were all recent…… Or perhaps someone was deliberately hiding the truth?

“What happens after you collect them all?” Zhang Chenze asked with some confusion.

“This……” Zheng Yingxiong was momentarily at a loss for words, having lived in dangerous environments for so long that he was extremely cautious in everything he did.

“Don’t ask.” Yun Yao interrupted their conversation. “No matter what the consequences are of collecting three thousand six hundred Dao, we shouldn’t see the Jidao members as allies.”

Tian Tian, who had been listening quietly, chimed in at this point: “But the Yan Zhichun and Lin Geng we’re looking for are both from Jidao.”

“I don’t know much about Yan Zhichun, but Lin Geng is a bit different from the typical Jidao members.” Yun Yao said, “She’s known you all for a while and has never sabotaged your plans, right?”

“That’s true.” Tian Tian nodded.

“Besides, our ultimate goal in finding these two is for Wen Qiaoyun.” Yun Yao added, “It’s never been about Jidao.”

After hearing this, Zheng Yingxiong lowered his head and thought for a moment. If the situation here was vastly different from what he knew, that meant there was another possibility.

Maybe Gu Yu had lied back then?

After all, ever since he returned to Yucheng, no one had actually collected fifty-seven thousand six hundred Yu, and no one had truly witnessed that so-called “disaster.”

Zheng Yingxiong’s understanding of the “disaster” all came from Gu Yu. Gu Yu’s path might have come from Yinguo, and Yinguo was from Jidao, so in that case……

“I want to join Jidao.” Zheng Yingxiong suddenly looked up and said to everyone.
