When it cos to Pang Tong, Xiao Feng would rather not have such a person.
Although now the other party shares the sa goal of dealing with Gu Shi, this collaboration is even worse than a shoddy construction project—extrely unreliable.
So, on the surface, there's only one opponent to deal with, but in Xiao Feng's mind, there are always two, inevitably doubling the ntal effort.
"Take it one step at a ti, hopefully, Pang Tong will be sensible."
Before entering the door, Xiao Feng thought to himself this way.
He had already decided that if Pang Tong showed any sign of betrayal next, he would eliminate him without hesitation.
Even though there is no evidence at the mont connecting the other party to Devil's Concentration Camp, Xiao Feng didn't want to gamble on this probability.
At this mont, the living room was already crowded.
Lao Ha and others had their arms crossed, glaring at Pang Tong and the other three sitting on the sofa, making them feel uneasy and even afraid to breathe.
Just as Pang Tong couldn't help but stand up to say sothing, Xiao Feng walked in.
"Boss!"
"Big Brother!"
"Brother Feng!"
Everyone nodded and greeted him, voluntarily making way, a display of utmost respect.
The three on the sofa stood up. Pang Tong wasted no ti introducing: "The person on my left is the nineteenth-generation heir of Yucang Mountain."
Xiao Feng's gaze turned to the person on his left. The person was about the sa age as Pang Tong, with a skinny face and a mustache, giving off a slightly sleazy vibe.
Seeing Xiao Feng looking over, the man clasped his hands and said, "I am Tan Qizhi."
After introducing the person on the left, Pang Tong looked at the much older person with long, gray-white hair on the right: "This is the fifteenth-generation heir of Panlong Cave, by seniority, I have to call him Uncle."
The elder also clasped his hands at Xiao Feng, introducing himself: "I am Cao Siyuan."
Xiao Feng nodded back at him in response.
"These two have skills no less than mine; if we want to take down Gu Shi, we'll need their full support."
At this point, Pang Tong looked around at the people: "I've already said frankly that there's no deep-seated hatred between us that can't be dissolved.
Moreover, we're going to jointly deal with Gu Shi now, is there really a need to be so defensive?"
"You're right." Xiao Feng smiled and waved at Lao Ha and others: "You all go about your businesses."
They all agreed and withdrew together.
In the living room, only Pang Tong and the other two remained, along with Xiao Feng and Xue Nuofu.
Both parties took their seats, Xue Nuofu asked: "Have the three of you figured out a thod?"
Pang Tong looked left and right, then spoke: "On our way here, we three repeatedly discussed; we believe that if we had the Soul-Sealing Nail, at least half the difficulty in dealing with Gu Shi could be reduced.
For this, the three of us specifically went to the Wild Lake, dug three more ters down from the original place, and broke open all slightly bigger dirt clods for inspection, but still found nothing."
Xiao Feng laughed inwardly; the Soul-Sealing Nail was already in his hands, even if they dug down to the center of the earth, they certainly wouldn't find it.
However, he still put on a worried face and asked: "So, in that case, without the Soul-Sealing Nail, is there no hope of winning?"
Tan Qizhi rubbed his mustache, a smile creeping up his lips: "It's not entirely like that; there's never anything absolute in the world.
The three of us have estimated that if deployed well, there's still a significant chance of defeating that Dry Bone Stake."
"Oh?" Xue Nuofu looked at Xiao Feng beside him, seeing that he had no intention to speak, he followed up: "How significant is the chance?
And how should the deploynt be set up?"
At this point, the eldest Cao Siyuan took over: "If the plan goes smoothly, it's over ninety percent assured, even if there are so errors, as long as they are not irreparable mistakes, there's still about seventy percent chance of winning.
Thirty miles west from my residence, there is an abandoned repair shop, isolated from villages and shops, perfectly suited as the venue to destroy Dry Bone Stake.
By then, I will set up an array there in advance, it just needs soone to lure it there."
"But even with the three of us setting up the array, it's still too few." Tan Qizhi wore a worried expression.
Cao Siyuan smiled: "That's simple, just find more fellow practitioners; let alone this being inherently our duty, destroying Dry Bone Stake is ultimately also an act of rit, not making people work for nothing."
"Makes sense." Tan Qizhi nodded in agreent.
After hearing this, Xiao Feng frowned slightly, feeling a bit sorry for Gu Shi.
A hundred years ago, it was buried, saving countless lives, and a hundred years later, dug out, yet again destined to be divided up as "rit points," it seed rather unfair.
Of course, the concept of rit points is obscure, similar to saving a life being better than building a seven-story pagoda.
People know how to talk, but nobody's truly seen a "pagoda."
"The setup and deploynt will be left to the three of us, while luring Gu Shi into the trap, I believe you are the most suitable person." Pang Tong looked at Xiao Feng: "You can claim to help Gu Shi find its enemies, and then invite it to the repair shop for detailed talks."
Xiao Feng shook his head, chuckling: "Your suggestion seems to underestimate Gu Shi too much… Even though he truly doesn't belong to humankind, he's not foolish enough to follow for just a Lollipop.
If it's a talk, where can't it be talked, why must it be in such a secluded place?
Anyone with a bit of sense would know there's sothing fishy."
There was sothing Xiao Feng didn't say, and that is his current credibility with Gu Shi is likely in the negatives.
Plus, Gu Shi already knows he has the Soul-Sealing Nail, if he can obediently co over, that would indeed be a rarity.
But this statent is evidently unspeakable.
As for what Pang Tong would think in his mind, that's not sothing Xiao Feng can control.
The scene plunged into prolonged silence, both parties harbored their own thoughts, while sizing up each other, also pondering what to do next.
Finally, Pang Tong exhaled and said: "No matter what, to catch the turtle in the urn, the turtle must be drawn to the urn first, otherwise, all preparations are in vain."
"I have an idea." Xiao Feng said thoughtfully: "If trickery doesn't work, then give Gu Shi a reason it must go."
Across, Pang Tong and the three exchanged glances, simultaneously asking: "What reason?"
Xiao Feng chuckled lightly: "It's simple, Pang Tong is bent on revenge, so let's gather all his enemies together, forcing it to co.
Just like fishing, you must first bait the hook.
However, realizing this thod isn't easy.
First, Gu Shi's enemies may not cooperate.
Furthermore, even if the fish bites the hook, there's a chance it can't be reeled in.
If the situation worsens, it may end in mutual destruction."
