Upon hearing his words, the half-human mist did not rush to set conditions and hummed, "Can you enter and exit the Netherworld?"

Shi Chun: "Yes, I have a way to go in and out."

The half-human mist hummed and asked again, "Can you go in and out repeatedly?"

Shi Chun: "Yes."

The half-human mist asked again, "What is your identity and status in the outside world?"

Shi Chun: "Junior Shi Chun, hailing from the Land of Exile, was just released a few years ago. Two years ago, I had just established an Artifact Refining Sect with my companions. The entire sect consists of just over ten people, basically with no notable identity or status, being chased around like a dog. I accidentally heard of the senior's story here, thus sought ways to seek help."

"Land of Exile..." The half-human mist seemed somewhat surprised, clearly not expecting to encounter such a person here, and then quickly proposed a condition: "Alright, my condition is for you to tell me the way to enter and exit the Netherworld."

Shi Chun had anticipated this and shook his head, saying, "It's not that the junior does not want to tell you; it's because even I can't explain it myself. It's a Magic Skill I discovered by accident, and it is related to my Cultivation Method. Senior, if you insist on mastering this skill, you need to abolish your own Magic Source and retrain to see if you can cultivate my Cultivation Method.

This point doesn't require excessive argument from me. If we can reach an agreement with the senior, you can discern its truth with your insight. When entering and exiting the two worlds, you can witness it with your own eyes and will know that I am not speaking falsely."

The oscillating half-human mist remained silent for a while and then hummed, "I want to take someone out. Once out, I will leave for a few days. You specify a meeting place, and I will come back to you to fulfill the deal in three days. Ten days, I will only assist you for ten days after going out.

Considering you haven't clarified the specific tasks, coupled with your origin from the Land of Exile, the good and bad are unpredictable. I won't support you unconditionally. If I encounter something too dangerous or beyond my capabilities, I will refuse to uphold the deal. What I can do, I will do my best.

Afterwards, as long as you don't reveal my return to the outside world, I won't disclose your ability to enter and exit the Netherworld. Then, all matters of right and wrong, and grievances will have nothing to do with me. I will disappear completely, as if we never traveled through time. These are the conditions; I want nothing else!"

Smart people speak concisely and directly reveal these matters. It's nothing more than knowing why you don't use this secret to find others for help; it's because my situation can help you keep the secret.

"Taking someone out..." Shi Chun pretended to ponder for a moment, finally nodded decisively, "In front of the senior, the junior has no qualifications to bargain. As for the senior's credit, I've long heard of it. Let's bet that the senior won't renege. Fine, let's do as the senior says. Will three days be enough for you to prepare after returning?"

He initially intended to leave as soon as possible, but the other party had not confirmed the situation outside and wanted to take someone out directly. This indeed caught him off guard.

He originally thought that with the other party's cautious style, they would make a trial trip between the two worlds to confirm safety before considering taking someone out, not expecting it to be so straightforward.

He had guessed who would be taken out, thus needed to delay a few days.

Having resided in the Netherworld for so many years, leaving suddenly indeed seemed inappropriate. The half-human mist pondered and hummed, "Alright, I'll meet you here at this time in three days."

Shi Chun clasped his hands, "It's a deal, see you in three days!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a vortex appeared within the gray mist opposite him, quickly absorbing the flowing mist cleanly, disappearing as if it had never appeared.

But within Shi Chun's Right Eye Superpower, he saw that the red mist fish had not left and still remained in the hall.

Shi Chun acted as if he didn't see anything, sighed softly, "Truly a godly figure. I hope you won't break your word."

With that, he returned to the main seat in the hall, leaned on the back of the chair, and remained in a daze for a long time.

The red mist fish waited for a while without seeing any reaction from this side, and finally left quietly.

Only after confirming it had indeed gone did Shi Chun stand up and leave to find Wu Jinliang outside and directly took him away.

As for Chu Jingtang, he remained stationed here.

Chu Jingtang had many questions he wanted to ask, but Shi Chun gave him no opportunity to ask more; he was already gone.

On the way, Shi Chun kept observing if the red mist fish was tracking them and, after confirming it wasn't, took the two directly through the Xun Gate and left.

The group returned to Qiangyu City, back to their residence here.

Seeing them return, Lao Changtai, who opened the door, was also surprised, closed the door after letting them in, quickly followed back to the main house, and tried asking, "How did it go; did you contact that assassin?"

Wu Jinliang chuckled, "Who else but me could take on this task personally."

Although his words seemed like flattery, this time it was also heartfelt. Right now, he also wanted to ask about this matter to clear the doubts in his heart, but during the trip between the two cities, it wasn't easy to bring it up.

Lao Changtai's eyes instantly lit up with curiosity, "You really got in touch?"

Sitting at the main seat, Shi Chun responded affirmatively, "We've already discussed it, and three days from now, he'll leave the Netherworld with someone, likely his wife. In this negotiation, he's the strong party because we revealed our secrets but aren't as powerful as him, leaving us little room to bargain. After he leaves, he needs to settle his affairs before helping us. Whether he'll keep his promise is uncertain, so we must act to counter any deception effectively."

Wu Jinliang asked puzzledly, "What's the situation?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Chun relayed the detailed negotiation process to the two.

Once understanding, Lao Changtai questioned, "How can we counteract this? We can't beat him, nor can we restrain him, leaving us no room to act."

Wu Jinliang muttered, "When he leaves, if he really just runs away, we won't have any hold over him."

Shi Chun calmly replied, "Coincidentally, when he appeared this time, I realized I had seen his wife before, so I roughly know the identity he's using to disguise himself now."

"..." Lao Changtai was struck.

Wu Jinliang's tone held a mix of confusion and slyness, "You know his wife? You didn't have time before, right?"

He was familiar with the person's movements in and out of the Netherworld, unlike others, since he was involved each time, so he roughly understood the direction of this person's energy upon entry.

Shi Chun didn't beat around the bush nor explain when they had met, directly discussing the matter, a privilege of being the leader, "In Zuoyong City, and also in the Noon Zone, there's a stone shop called 'Stone Records.' The boss named Shi Wushuang is presumably Yu Xuanbing's disguised identity, and the boss's wife is named Nian Xiu.

I originally intended for you to do something to Nian Xiu once Yu Xuanbing left the Netherworld, but unexpectedly, Yu Xuanbing planned to take Nian Xiu with him directly, so I took advantage of this to gain three days."

Pointing to Lao Changtai, "Among the three of us, Yu Xuanbing has seen all of us. Going to the stone shop to handle this is impossible, only you are the best candidate."

Feeling uneasy about dealing with Yu Xuanbing, Lao Changtai asked, "What should I do?"

Shi Chun, "Quickly procure something for tracking, find a way to place it on Yu Xuanbing's wife so she can take it out of the Netherworld, ensuring it's not easy to detect."

He already had some experience with this, as the Red-clothed Woman's ring given to him had no flaws.

Upon hearing this, both Wu and Lao understood the intention.

However, Lao Changtai smiled wryly, "Tracking devices and such are feasible as long as the money is enough, whether outside or inside the Netherworld. The problem is how to deliver it into her hands, it's not something people casually accept."

Wu Jinliang thoughtfully stroked his chin and muttered, "The issue lies in the item. Once you have the item, delivering it to her is simple..."

"Simple?" Lao Changtai turned to him, feeling like jumping, "Then show me how simple it is."

Wu Jinliang muttered casually, "Make it into jewelry; jewelry is the most suitable for women to accept. Use two approaches, create a batch of jewelry to sell like a peddler passing by, emphasize the commemorative significance, if touching, it's all about weaving with words. Since she's leaving the Netherworld, she might never return, if that's not enough motivation, then bribe people close to her.

If they've been trading for this long, they must have interacted with people. A woman without female companions isn't much of a woman.

The couple used the stone shop identity to disguise for so long without exposing themselves. They can't just ignore everyone and disappear suddenly without a word to the neighborhood, right? Give the couple preparation time, and Yu Xuanbing, being cautious, probably won't make a scene, like finding a reason to entrust the shop's care or disposal to acquaintances through cold handling.

If close acquaintances know this, then buy them out, what's wrong with gifting a farewell present? After leaving the Netherworld, they probably won't meet those acquaintances again, so no need to worry about exposure. If there's fear of leaking information, once the couple leaves, eliminate the acquaintance, someone who would betray a friend deserves to be killed, no big deal. Two approaches, surely one will work, or we'll think of something else, the problem is acquiring suitable jewelry."

He said it with quite a casual tone, easy and effortless.

Shi Chun also told Lao Changtai, "No worries, consult Jinliang, he's handy with these tasks."

After listening, Lao Changtai clicked his tongue in thought, realizing Wu Jinliang's method was not unreasonable, nodding slightly, "Then let's immediately find suitable jewelry."

Shi Chun, "Don't hesitate to spend money, act quickly. If there are no proper channels in the Netherworld temporarily, we'll search outside, but it must be quick, time is limited."

Lao Changtai nodded, "I'll head into the city for inquiries."

Shi Chun, "It's better to contact Lao Xi, he's well-connected, but be cautious when reaching out to him, he was monitored by Yu Xuanbing during previous encounters. Until Yu Xuanbing leaves the Netherworld, our contact with Lao Xi must be discreet. Further, don't let a fourth person know about the jewelry tracking, including Chu Huzi."

Upon hearing this, Lao Changtai acknowledged, understanding that not everything revolves around trust or distrust; some matters are such that the fewer people know, the better, ensuring everyone's safety and peace of mind.
