Though it couldn't be specific enough to identify the person, there were still many uncertainties.

But precisely because of this, it seemed realistic and credible enough. Otherwise, if this person were to outright name who exactly was the Puppet Demon Mage, and what their current identity was, hoping to have her cooperate with the High Celestial Plain for a precise strike... then she would only suspect that this was definitely a ploy to kill with borrowed hands and frame someone.

"..."

"..."

Gu Mo did not rush her. Watching the Golden-haired Valkyrie genuinely starting to think seriously, he waited patiently. At the same time, he glanced outside, as if seeing through the walls what was happening in front of the sailors' quarters outside.

The young man with purple hair and blue eyes was slowly and rhythmically yawning while repeatedly cleansing and purifying the contaminated lion, the pile of clothes, accessories, weapons, and miscellaneous objects on the ground. He no longer seemed to secretly eavesdrop on this side with his ears up.

His Perception ability was enhanced by the Nine-tailed Possession. At such a short distance, he could still sense Yato's movements. So earlier, at the key points, he deliberately used the Guardian Spirit to convey information instead of speaking out loud.

Though he didn't directly indicate it was the other's father, considering that the Divine Artifact Maiden named Fei has recently had much contact with Yato, even if just leaking some related rumors would make the Puppet Demon Mage realize something was amiss and decisively run away, it wouldn't be good.

That guy's ability to cling to life is indeed top-notch; otherwise, he wouldn't have survived until now...

Moreover, Gu Mo didn't want to gamble on Yato's feelings towards his father. So after thinking it over, he decided that having the God of Poverty take care of some of the edges would be good, like assisting him with negotiations with Visakha's Divine Artifacts... Regarding the real move against his father, it's best not to have him involved.

"By the way, have you decided?"

Turning around and seeing Visakha's continuously changing eyes and her fluctuating complexion, Gu Mo knew she was already somewhat shaken. It's just that this was a significant matter, and she hadn't truly made up her mind yet; he needed to give her one last push.

He considered a bit, sorted through the impressions in his memory, and then spoke:

"How about I tell you one more thing... Within your Divine Artifacts, there might be someone colluding with that Mage, probably intending to harm you."

He was unsure when exactly this was happening—whether it was an ongoing scenario or something that would happen in the future. However, since it would eventually occur and indeed arise from White Wolf Eye's betrayal, he decided to treat it as an existing problem now.

"Impossible! You're talking nonsense!" Visakha's face instantly changed, angrily shouting without thinking.

She couldn't bear to hear this. How could someone among the Divine Artifacts she loved and nurtured as close family collude with outsiders to harm her? She certainly couldn't and wouldn't believe it, as that would unreasonably negate the faith she upheld all along.

"It's that guy named Lu Ba, whose Divine Artifact form is a balance scale. It's said that he's normally responsible as a physician for your health..."

Gu Mo didn't argue with her; he just stated his conclusion.

He knew about this matter before but couldn't recall who the traitor was. But recently, he'd checked each Divine Artifact with Yato and asked about their corresponding names and duties—something Yato was relatively concerned about since Visakha constantly pursued him, needing to know what resources she had.

Adding to that the double-agent Zhao Ma, the God of Poverty was naturally knowledgeable about Visakha's Divine Artifacts.

Therefore, Gu Mo managed to deduce and confirm who the turncoat was through this, and it was precisely the guy he was mentioning at the moment... However, the Golden-haired Valkyrie opposite seemed quite unwilling to accept such a brutal truth, glaring furiously at him.

"Don't glare at me like that. If this is true, your unwillingness won't change the outcome... It'll only drag Visakha's lineage into Hell." He wasn't expecting her to immediately and unconditionally believe a stranger like him; he was merely providing a kind reminder.

"Then what gives you the right to say that? Where's the evidence?" The Golden-haired Valkyrie angrily demanded, even letting go and ignoring the exposure of her body, as if this hateful demon intended to drive a wedge between her and the Divine Artifacts.

"As for evidence, I indeed find it hard to produce. I'm just familiar with that Mage due to hunting him for so long. Moreover, due to my unique nature, I can detect who he's interacted closely with recently and left related marks on; your Divine Artifact fits this criterion..."

Raising an eyebrow slightly, Gu Mo frankly provided a reason for why he could pinpoint the traitor, knowing full well that the other party couldn't prove him wrong, and thus he could say whatever he wanted.

"Anyway, I'm just giving you a heads-up whether to handle this matter carefully, depending solely on your perspective. Ultimately, any harm done won't affect me."

At most, he was just disrupting Visakha's mindset, conveniently leveraging the betrayer's downfall to earn an extra Copper Key or Iron Key or two. Whether the other party believes him or not, the seed was planted, and even if they thought their Divine Artifact was bewitched by the Puppet Demon Mage, it would still strengthen her resolve to oppose the latter.
