Fan Fang smiled and said, "Does Hall Master Li still remember the Yang Jian Jie Ming Ren who fought you in Little Huangquan three years ago?"

"Wusheng!" My brows furrowed slightly.

Little Huangquan was the first mission that Ye Yang and I took on together. It was also then that I learned that there was a group in the martial world that gathered most of the Jie Ming Ren, called "Wusheng."

The leader of "Wusheng" had absorbed countless lifespans and was an immortal. Wusheng gave me a very mysterious feeling.

At the time, I could be said to have offended "Wusheng," and I was indeed on guard against them for a while, but later Wusheng never met me again.

I didn't expect that after three years, I would meet Wusheng again.

Fan Fang said, "The Dragon Head set a rule for us three years ago: when we encounter you and Head Ye, we should retreat and avoid conflict."

"If we really can't avoid it, we should cooperate fully. The group will make up for the losses caused by the failure of the mission."

"Before I came, I also received an order from the Dragon Head, telling me to hand over Northwater Town and fully cooperate with Hall Master Li to unlock the secrets of Northwater Town."

The doubts in my heart grew even stronger: "Isn't your Dragon Head's favor a bit too great?"

Fan Fang shook his head and said, "The Dragon Head told me to tell Hall Master Li not to have any concerns. His favor is not only for Hall Master Li. Wusheng will avoid anyone with the Greed Wolf (Tanlang) fate. When necessary, they will also provide some help."

I raised an eyebrow and said, "What do you mean?"

Fan Fang said, "The Dragon Head had already expected that the Hall Master would have this question. He told me to tell the Hall Master one sentence: He is one of the Four Living Servants. Apart from that, please don't ask any more questions, Hall Master."

I couldn't help but be slightly stunned. I had long heard that when the Greed Wolf was reincarnated, there were eight servants of life and death.

His Four Dead Servants, except for Peeler who was on the run, the other three had become Old Liu's ghost servants.

His Four Living Servants had never shown their faces.

If the Lord of Wusheng is one of the Four Living Servants, then his actions are easy to explain.

The Four Living Servants are all waiting for the return of the Greed Wolf. However, the Greed Wolf fate has fallen on different people. The pack of wolves fights for their lives. It can be said that those with remnants of souls are all Greed Wolves, and none of them are Greed Wolves.

In this way, anyone could become the master of Wusheng, so he didn't want to offend anyone. However, he was also unwilling to support one of them in the fight for fate.

Therefore, what he has to do is avoid all those who may be the Greed Wolf and wait for the real Greed Wolf to be born.

I didn't want to get too entangled in this matter, so I simply changed the subject: "Why does Wusheng want to restore Northwater Town?"

Fan Fang said, "Five Directions Tomb, Open Heavenly Prison, the Greed Wolf God General does not return to court."

"The so-called Five Directions Tomb refers to five special prisons. Releasing the prisoners is the time when the Greed Wolf God General returns."

"Hall Master Li opened one of the prisons back then. Outside Northwater Town, under Horseshoe Mountain, is another prison."

I frowned again and said, "I opened one of the prisons? Are you talking about the Nine Cauldrons Dragon Palace?"

"That's right!" Fan Fang nodded and said, "Hall Master Li sent away a capable subordinate of the Dragon Head in Little Huangquan, so the Dragon Head would naturally not let it go. He immediately sent someone to investigate Hall Master Li's past."

"The Dragon Head was truly amazed by Hall Master Li's battle in Fish Basket Village and the Nine Cauldrons Dragon Palace. At this point, he can also conclude that Hall Master Li must be related to the Greed Wolf."

"Therefore, the Dragon Head ordered that no one under Wusheng is allowed to harass Hall Master Li."

"I didn't expect to meet Hall Master Li in Northwater Town. After careful consideration, the Dragon Head decided to hand over the initiative to Hall Master Li. Wusheng is willing to cooperate fully."

I was a little confused: Wusheng's actions were a bit too generous.

I can understand that they spent hundreds of millions to develop Northwater Town in order to open the so-called Five Directions Tomb.

This is a kind of investment in the art world, and there have been investments with even bigger hands than Wusheng. As for whether the risks and returns of the investment are proportional, it depends on luck.

However, the fact that Wusheng handed over Northwater Town so casually still made me feel unreal.

I quietly transmitted my voice to Butcher Wang and the others: "What do you think?"

Butcher Wang responded, "Now is not the time to discern Wusheng's attitude. If you want to complete this mission, you have to cooperate with Wusheng. The truth and falsehood can only be taken one step at a time."

Butcher Wang is right. In the past, I would have cooperated with Wusheng without hesitation. Conspiracies and tricks are not something that can be asked, only by opening your eyes to see can you get results.

However, this time, I felt that the cooperation itself might be a mistake.

I looked at Fan Fang and said, "The so-called meaning of Five Directions Tomb, Open Heavenly Prison, is it a guess by the Lord of Wusheng, or did he get any evidence?"

Fan Fang said, "I don't know about this. The Dragon Head's thoughts will not be shared with ordinary subordinates. And my status in Wusheng is not high enough to meet the Dragon Head at any time."

I said in a deep voice: "Go and tell your Dragon Head, just say: I suspect that he has misinterpreted the meaning of the ballad. Five Directions Tomb, Open Heavenly Prison, does not mean opening five secret burials."

"We'll talk about the rest when you get back."
