641: I'm telling the truth

“Everyone can continue, I’m just passing by…” Shen Bei was startled, not understanding what was happening. He didn’t remember provoking so many people all at once…

“Brother, the situation is strange. We have to be on guard. Please forgive us.” Duan Kong’s face was grim as he pointed to Shen Bei’s back.

“Underwear Bro, you’re really being polite this time. Are you going to give me something again?”

“Hmm?” Duan Kong’s expression changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice, “Since entering here, I have never seen you, Brother! Also, my name is Duan Kong!”

“Underwear Bro, you’re not…” Shen Bei’s expression changed before he finished speaking.

Wasn’t it Underwear Bro he saw last time?

“Whether you’re real or fake, who is that person on your back? Tell her to lift her veil!” Blood Depletion Dao Consort’s voice was sharp, her face filled with anxiety.

“I wouldn’t dare. I’d be beaten to death.” Shen Bei said with a sincere expression, thinking, Blood Depletion Dao Consort went through Corpse Dissection once, her strength has fallen, and she’s gone crazy? Can’t she sense Bridal Gown’s situation?

“What nonsense! In my opinion, it’s him! He’s the fake one!” Blood Depletion Dao Consort shrieked, her face somewhat distorted.

Good words can’t save a person bent on dying. Shen Bei sighed inwardly, and when he looked at the somewhat hysterical Blood Depletion Dao Consort, he felt a little more pity.

“If you dare, you go. I certainly don’t.”

Shen Bei had a hint of hope in his eyes, hoping that Blood Depletion Dao Consort would court death.

Someone with such heavy malevolence and a twisted Heart-Nature, besides good deeds, what can she not do? If she courts death herself, he wouldn’t stop her…

However, upon hearing Shen Bei’s words, everyone else remained silent. After Blood Depletion Dao Consort took a step forward, she chuckled and retreated, the madness on her face having dissipated quite a bit.

“Being able to carry such a charming bride, he shouldn’t be that Faceless Man monster.”

Shen Bei sighed inwardly, his evaluation of Blood Depletion Dao Consort immediately rising.

Although her Heart-Nature wasn’t great, her mind wasn’t particularly stupid. She actually understood the principle that the early bird gets shot, and she could endure it.

That wasn’t easy…

With Blood Depletion Dao Consort no longer taking the lead, Shen Bei turned to look at Duan Kong.

“Underwear Bro, can you tell me what’s going on?”

Duan Kong’s already grim face immediately stretched even longer, a breath caught in his throat, almost dying of anger.

It’s Underwear Bro again. Can’t he call him by another name?

However, considering the current situation, being able to so casually call out that nickname, he was most likely not the Faceless Man.

The most urgent matter was the Faceless Man. Duan Kong suppressed the rising anger in his heart and explained in a deep voice.

“There is a Faceless Man who can transform into our appearance at will. His aura, appearance, and True Essence fluctuations are all flawless. Even his conversations are almost without flaw. We have all been attacked. The only thing in common is that the Faceless Man gave us all an item. As long as it is held in hand, hot and cold Qi will rapidly alternate within the body…

We couldn’t bear it. As soon as we touched it, we would freeze on the spot, unable to even circulate the True Essence within our bodies, and could only be slaughtered by the Faceless Man.

I imagine that when you encountered me before, it was that Faceless Man transformed.”

“We all paid a considerable price to escape. Your strength is the weakest, how could you be completely unharmed?” Blood Depletion Dao Consort stared at Shen Bei with cold eyes.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.

“This humble monk had no choice but to enter the Devil Dao through Buddha, transforming Buddha bones into devils, only then was I able to escape.” The Little Devil Buddha, who had been silent, said slowly.

Shen Bei looked closely at the Little Devil Buddha.

A good, peaceful little monk, even if it was a disguise, he looked more pleasant.

He didn’t expect that after entering the Devil Dao, the Little Devil Buddha became cunningly malicious.

What did he mean by this?

He meant that our Realms are all higher than yours. We are all Great Cultivators with Divine Abilities, while you are a Ninth-Rank Cultivator, at most a War God.

As for strength, naturally, we are stronger. Even so, we had to pay a great price to escape and were no match for that Faceless Man at all.

Why are you, the weakest, completely unharmed?

How can you be?

Unless you are the Faceless Man.

“I abandoned my Physical Body, broke open my fontanel, and risked my Realm falling, plus expending seven of the strongest Ku Xue Dao Soldiers, only then did I escape with my life.” Blood Depletion Dao Consort added with a sneer.

As soon as these words came out, the others couldn’t help but speak.

“I accidentally saved an Elder from the Li Tribe who was traveling outside. He gave me a Substitute Divine Statue.” Duan Kong said in a deep voice.

“Three hundred years of Lifespan burned, soul lamp guiding the way.” The Grand Elder of the Lantern Sect had a hint of fatigue on his face.

He did indeed look a bit older than before. Soul lamp guiding the way was a secret technique of the Lantern Sect, using Lifespan as fuel to cross some insurmountable barriers.

It could be categorized among the methods for traversing the Void Realm, and it was one of the more powerful ones, though the cost was relatively high.

This method did not require True Essence, and after casting it, one could naturally escape.

“Blood sacrifice, forcibly casting a Divine Ability.” The Sect Master of the Lantern Sect calmly pulled open his robe, revealing the area of his left chest, where a heart-protecting mirror was concealed.

After he removed the heart-protecting mirror, they immediately saw that the flesh and blood of his left chest had disappeared, exposing his ribs, and even his pulsating heart could be seen inside.

The missing flesh showed no signs of growing back. The wound wasn’t bleeding, but it also wasn’t worsening.

Everyone’s expressions changed slightly as they watched.

This was the method of forced sacrifice, using the disappearance of one’s own flesh and blood as a price to forcibly cast a Divine Ability or secret technique that one normally couldn’t. After casting it, the missing parts, apart from some Heaven And Earth Treasure, ordinary Medicinal Pills had no chance of making them regrow.

Not to mention, the missing part was around the heart, along with the flesh and blood of the left chest. The cost was higher, but the power was even greater.

The Sect Master of the Lantern Sect didn’t say what Divine Ability it was, but no one asked anymore.

Several people had all paid a considerable price to escape. At this moment, everyone stared at Shen Bei.

“If I said that Underwear Bro was being chased by Ku Xue Dao Soldiers and wanted to trick me, but I didn’t fall for it, would you believe me?” Shen Bei said with a sincere expression, telling the truth.

However, everyone’s faces were grim, like statues, unmoving, their eyes showing no change…

Clearly, not a single person believed him…

“In this day and age, why does no one believe the truth?” Shen Bei sighed to the sky. He had never found it so difficult when he was trying to trick people.

He finally spoke a great truth, but they all looked unfazed, as if they had heard the falsest joke imaginable.

Can’t there be some trust between people?

Although he also caught that piece of Wusang Yin Wood, his resistance attribute was high, so he wasn’t afraid.

Just because you can’t do it, you can’t suspect that others can’t either, right?

What kind of logic is that!

Is there any logic left!

“You said you encountered this Brother Duan, but he never saw you. That can only be the Faceless Man. When we first encountered the Faceless Man, although our experiences differed, everything was real, which is why we all, without exception, fell into shackles. Only you are different. Even if it’s true, we all want to know how you saw through it.” The Little Devil Buddha asked in a deep voice, and after scanning around, he added another sentence.

“If we don’t work together now, I’m afraid even if the Faceless Man doesn’t come, we will end up killing each other, and no one will leave alive. I hope you can tell us. Regardless of the outcome, whatever gains we acquire later, we will all let you choose first.”

“Little Devil Buddha, after you entered the Devil Dao, you’re not so gloomy anymore. That’s good, and you speak quite well.” Blood Depletion Dao Consort chuckled mockingly.

The others also thought of this. If what Shen Bei said was false, he naturally had a strong suspicion of being the Faceless Man.

But what if it was true?

Then he must have a special method…

Shen Bei narrowed his eyes slightly, his smile slowly receding.
