This Is Not the Female Demon Lord I Remembered-Chapter 722 - 606: Shadow Realm

"An Eighth Realm Great Perfection Divination Cultivator?"
Hearing He Zhiqing's words, Wan Tinggui appeared contemplative, as such a figure seemed to exist only as one in Redfeather City, known as the Divination genius Cultivator, Ghost Master.
Moreover, if she remembered correctly, that person should be on good terms with Ren Wu.
Now that Ren Wu had just left, closely followed by a Divination Cultivator connected to him to divine their situation, Wan Tinggui was convinced there must be a relationship between them.
"Yes, besides sensing that Eighth Realm Divination Cultivator, I also detected the presence of another Eighth Realm Cultivator and a Sixth Realm Cultivator, undoubtedly Ren Wu and Shao Du."
He Zhiqing revealed one by one the information he found by backtracking the divination traces.
"It seems they really came prepared; the only question is how much they've calculated!"
Su Youyi's speculation was confirmed, mixed with admiration for her senior brother and concern over the leaking of intelligence.
"There is indeed some strange Heavenly Mechanism activity over there; that must be the Eighth Realm Divination Cultivator's location, right?"
Uncle Jute pointed towards the center of Redfeather City.
"Then there's no mistake, that's where Ren Wu is."
Wan Tinggui only glanced in the direction Uncle Jute pointed before confirming in her mind.
"Don't worry, I've already sent them some false information for the time being."
After sighing in relief, with the Floating Life Bell put away, Pang Qingshi looked at everyone and slowly said.
"Although I can't completely obscure their view, I've hidden our Heavenly Mechanism behind the Qingkong Sect, so their divination results should still identify us as people from the Qingkong Sect."
"Well done!"
Wan Tinggui praised, aware that she had already made arrangements within the Qingkong Sect; anyone attempting to investigate their identities through that route would find them more genuine than actual Qingkong Sect disciples.
"But how did you deduce that there was a connection between those two from their gazes?"
Wan Tinggui asked Liang Yi, puzzled.
Aside from Su Youyi and He Zhiqing, who faintly perceived something unusual about Shao Du at the time, the others were clueless and turned their gazes to Liang Yi, hoping for an explanation.
"While Shao Du seemed to be infuriated by your words, acting irrationally against the laws of Redfeather City and thus summoning Ren Wu, the reality was that Shao Du was fully aware of his actions before issuing the command, and simply played along with the plan by purposefully summoning Ren Wu."
Liang Yi stroked his nose and explained with a smile.
"Played along? I was used by that guy!?"
Wan Tinggui's expression changed instantly upon hearing Liang Yi's words, struggling to accept it.
She, who was adept at using various intelligence and human nature to devise strategies, was actually outmaneuvered?
"Unfortunately, but it is true. He had a moment of clarity in his eyes before issuing the command, and when Ren Wu arrived, he showed no surprise at all."
Liang Yi spread his hands, his face also helpless.
"Although I don't know what kind of person that Shao Du is in your intelligence, this guy is definitely not as simple as you think."
"Well, I was watching from behind at the time, and I also saw that fleeting contemplation in his eyes before Shao Du gave the command; I thought I had seen it wrong."
He Zhiqing nodded; he had noticed the same abnormality as Liang Yi.
But given Shao Du's very deceiving performance and the trust in Wan Tinggui's intelligence, He Zhiqing had not paid more attention.
"Damn it!"
Wan Tinggui hammered the table in frustration, uncharacteristically losing composure, not expecting to be played by someone she had never taken seriously.
"Are you alright, Miss Wan?"
Su Youyi gently tugged at her senior brother's sleeve and whispered.
"It should be fine; although it's unclear why she cares so much about success and failure, such a minor setback shouldn't affect her."
Liang Yi quietly responded.
In his view, attempting to calculate everything was impossible; even with a lot of intelligence, it only increases the likelihood of success. As for predicting human nature, that's even more outrageous – human hearts are the most unreliable, much harder to predict than the Heavenly Mechanism.
For example, although all his current actions are for the good of the Mystical Mechanism Continent, if it came down to choosing between the Mystical Mechanism Continent and his junior sister in a certain situation, wouldn't the outcome be obvious?
What was strange was that, from what he knew of Wan Tinggui, she did not seem like someone who placed great importance on winning or losing; there must be something he was unaware of.
"Knock, knock!"
Just then, a knocking on the door suddenly sounded, and before anyone could ask, the voice of the young waiter who had guided them earlier came through, the content startling everyone.
"Saintess, the Array is ready!"
"Come in!"
Without any surprise, Wan Tinggui composed herself, patting her cheeks to regain her spirit.
"Saintess, the Array to the Shadow Realm is ready and can be activated at any time!"
At that moment, the young waiter knelt on one knee, showing respectful demeanor, devoid of his previous slippery tongue, without a trace of the smirky customer-pleasing attitude.
After entering the room and handing a Spirit Light twinkling Array Plate to Wan Tinggui, he stood to one side silently.
"Strange! I suspected this was your stronghold, and after seeing the young waiter, I examined it carefully; there really should be nothing special."
