Su Que guessed correctly.
Although the non-core disciples of the Tang Sect's Outer Sect do not need to reveal their identities to the Tang Sect.
Zhou Yinseng, being cautious and suspicious, prepared a contingency plan.
He would occasionally arrange for top masters of the Tang Sect to track the non-core disciple after they t with their contact.
Previously, the forr "Greedy Wolf," Zhang Bengen, had been tracked twice.
Thus, Zhou Yinseng discovered the location of Zhang Bengen's residence and further learned that this house had been purchased by soone.
He thought, if he waited at the "Greedy Wolf's" residence, he would eventually catch the "Greedy Wolf."
After hearing Zhou Yinseng's proposal of "exchanging the person for money and the cultivation thod," Ou Haquan thought for a mont and nodded in agreent.
Afterwards, Zhou Yinseng and Ou Haquan agreed on the ti and place for the exchange.
The location was an open field thirty li outside Jiannan Prefecture City.
There, it was clear at a glance how many people each side took, and there was no fear of an ambush.
"Can you detoxify ?" Ou Haquan suddenly asked.
He had been using True Qi to suppress the Myriad Poison True Qi, but it was still slowly spreading to the other half of his body, albeit at a slower pace.
Zhou Yinseng placed his hand on Ou Haquan's shoulder, concentrated and exerted his skill, withdrawing forty percent of the Myriad Poison True Qi from Ou Haquan's ridians:
"You can expel the remaining Myriad Poison True Qi on your own."
He did not want to fully retract the Myriad Poison True Qi and allow Ou Haquan to imdiately regain his combat strength.
Zhou Yinseng removed his hand from Ou Haquan's shoulder, exerted force with his foot, and dashed out of the house.
After signaling to his subordinates, six n imdiately dashed towards the outside of the residence.
Because the patriarch was controlled by Zhou Yinseng, except for the old patriarch who was still secluded, all the non-family nursing ho mbers and Ou family experts were gathered at this place.
They ford a dense circle outside the attic.
Seeing Zhou Yinseng leave Ou Haquan and co out, they all stepped forward to block him.
At this mont, Ou Haquan's roar sounded from inside the house, "Don't stop them!"
He feared that soone might attempt to block them and cause Zhou Yinseng to act, resulting in unnecessary casualties for the Ou family.
Upon hearing this, everyone imdiately stopped their previous actions of stepping forward.
They watched as Zhou Yinseng and six others dashed out of the courtyard, jumped onto a rooftop, and with a few leaps, jumped over the outer wall of the residence.
...
After leaving the residence, Zhou Yinseng imdiately led his n to Zhang Bengen's ho.
He saw that Zhang Bengen's residence was pitch black, unsure if anyone lived there.
Everyone quietly entered to investigate and found that the house was indeed uninhabited.
Zhou Yinseng imdiately ordered his n to return to the Tang Sect's stronghold and instructed one trusted aide to stay at the "Greedy Wolf's" residence and wait for the "Greedy Wolf" to return.
However, that trusted aide stayed at Zhang Bengen's ho, but no one ever returned.
On the day before the exchange between Zhou Yinseng and Ou Haquan, this situation was reported to Zhou Yinseng.
Zhou Yinseng, feeling helpless, had to truthfully inform Ou Haquan on the day of the exchange.
"Are you toying with ?" Ou Haquan frowned and said.
For today's exchange, he brought his brother Ou Haofeng and so experts, forming a formidable force.
Neither the Tang Sect nor their group could do anything to the other.
If it ca to a fight, even if one side were to win, it would be a pyrrhic victory.
So, his tone regained its usual firmness as he spoke.
"But I can provide you with the 'Greedy Wolf's' house location," Zhou Yinseng said.
Ou Haquan's eyes narrowed, "Let's not even discuss whether this address is true. Even if it is, you haven't been able to find him after so many days; he may have already abandoned the house."
Zhou Yinseng said, "We found a secret compartnt in his room containing hidden weapons and clothes. He will return."
Ou Haquan considered, "If that's the case, I can only give you twenty thousand taels of silver notes."
"The rest will be given to you only after the person is caught."
Seeing that he couldn't obtain the remaining Celestial Deford Foot cultivation thod today, Zhou Yinseng grew angry and contemplated the idea of seizing it forcefully.
That night when Ou Haquan taught him the Celestial Deford Foot's cultivation thod, it was done by secret sound transmission, and he didn't discuss it with anyone else afterward.
To prevent the exposure of private cultivation transmission, because if the Ou family in the Central Plains found out, their branch would face a calamity.
Therefore, Zhou Yinseng intended to kill Ou Haquan that night.
Ou Haquan had promised that he would record the cultivation thod on paper and insert it among the silver notes for Zhou Yinseng.
Thus, Zhou Yinseng reasoned that if he seized it by force, he could obtain the Celestial Deford Foot's cultivation thod.
However, seeing that Ou Haquan was well-prepared today and that the area was an open field unfavorable to them, he reluctantly agreed.
After exchanging information and items, both parties left. Zhou Yinseng said to the contact accompanying him:
"Keep an eye on the 'Greedy Wolf.' If he connects with you, capture him imdiately."
"Yes!" the contact agreed in unison.
After obtaining the 'Greedy Wolf's' address, Ou Haquan imdiately dispatched a trusted aide at the Five Blood Peak level to guard there day and night.
While guarding, they didn't light any lamps, and the food they ate was dry rations, to leave no trace, just waiting for the "Greedy Wolf" to return.
...
Two days later, Su Que was having a al at a restaurant in Jiannan Prefecture City.
He suddenly heard a table of Martial Artists discussing how the Tang Sect had infiltrated the Ou family and subdued Ou Haquan.
After all, there were many people present that night at the Ou family.
The commotion attracted no fewer than eighty guards and servants.
Although Ou Haquan ordered no one to spread the news, soone still did.
Ou Haquan was infuriated, but with so many people present, finding out who leaked the information would cost considerable effort.
