Chapter 1092: Chapter 790: Traitor (Part 2)

When he said this, his gaze was fixed on Shu Kui, and he murmured cryptically, "This person might even be among the Divine Hall’s top brass!"

Shu Kui closed the book, leaned back slightly on the sofa, and smiled wryly at him, "So, what do you mean by telling me all this?"

"Now everyone in the Divine Hall is suspect; I’m just here to give you a heads up."

"So, you’re suspect too."

"Me? Of course not! I am loyal to the Divine Hall unto death! I would never betray the Divine Hall!" As soon as Mansa heard this, he became agitated and immediately denied it.

Shu Kui looked relaxed, "Of the spies I’ve interrogated, eight out of ten said the same thing."

"You... My loyalty to the Divine Hall is as clear as day! Don’t sow discord here and slander me unjustly! Anyway, I’m just here to inform you. Since you’re busy, I won’t bother you any longer!" Mansa felt it pointless to talk further with this research-obsessed oddball.

Shu Kui waved his hand, "Goodbye, won’t see you off."

"Hmph!"

Mansa originally came to demand an explanation but ended up frustrated. If he continued, he was afraid he’d just enrage himself to death, so he skulked away.

When he reached the door, he suddenly seemed to remember something, paused his steps, and turned his head slightly, saying coldly, "...Whoever dares betray the Divine Hall, once discovered, will wish for death rather than life!"

After saying this, he heavily flicked his sleeve and turned to leave.

Shu Kui watched the door direction, his gaze cold, bereft of emotion.

Only after a long while did he summon his followers and instructed, "I have an important experiment that needs research. Until my retreat ends, no one is to disturb me."

"Understood, Holy Seat."

...

As for Shen Tang and the others, they were unaware of the small turmoil within the Divine Hall.

At this moment, they had completely outpaced the Divine Hall’s pursuit and arrived at a desolate location.

"Finally out!"

After confirming safety, Shen Tang released the Deer Clan youth.

Upon emerging from the space, and realizing he’d truly escaped the Divine Hall, Sang Tian became so emotional his eyes reddened and he knelt to bow, "Thank you, benefactor, thank you, benefactor... I thought I’d never leave that place, thank you for bringing me out and giving me a life..."

Shen Tang hastily helped him up, "Our meeting was fate. There are no more Divine Hall pursuers here, we’ll deliver you till here, you should leave now."

Sang Tian looked stunned, his face showing sorrow, "I don’t know where to go..."

Originally an orphan from the Wasteland Zone, after much selection he entered the Divine Hall, believing a bright future awaited, only to find it was the beginning of Hell.

Though he had escaped, as the thrill faded, he felt utterly lost. He had no idea where to go, and the Divine Hall might still send people after him.

"Benefactor, let me follow you all! I may not have great skills, but my strength isn’t bad, I can run errands and do odd jobs."

Shen Tang shook her head and refused, "The place we’re headed is very dangerous. Following us would only increase your danger, and you might encounter Divine Hall members again. If you leave now incognito, you might return to a normal life."

Shen Tang understood Sang Tian genuinely wanted to repay kindness, but she’d experienced too much betrayal, she couldn’t easily accept someone she’d just met, especially concerning something as secretive as finding the Blood Clan’s land.

Having him leave them was indeed for his own good.

With them, the danger was just too great.

If a crisis came, Shen Tang wasn’t sure she could protect herself, let alone save others.

Sang Tian realized this too, acknowledging that the benefactor had important tasks to accomplish. The best help he could offer was not hindering and helping conceal the benefactor’s identity.

Before departure, he sincerely performed the highest gesture towards Shen Tang and Shen Li.

The young, handsome face was full of admiration, "Benefactor, should you need my assistance in the future, I will go through fire and water without hesitation."

"There’s no need in the future, I have a favor now," Shen Tang handed him a Space Bracelet, "Deliver this letter and Memory Stone to the Sky City’s Big Boss."

"Mention my name, and that Big Boss will meet you personally. He’ll arrange for you to live in Sky City."

Sang Tian was overjoyed, "Thank you, benefactor! I’ll ensure it gets there!"

Without further delay, he bid farewell and immediately embarked.

Sang Tian was selectively picked into the Divine Hall, his strength was decent. The letter would surely reach Mo Yan soon.

"Xiao Tang’er, what did you write in the letter? Why didn’t you deliver it personally to Mo Yan? Why go to so much trouble, especially when the young lady from Sky City is still asleep in your space?" Shen Li asked curiously.

Shen Tang had long blacklisted Mo Yan, and smiled slyly, "Of course, it’s to give the Big Boss time to cool down. When he’s furious and wants to kill, he won’t find anyone~"

Seeing her mischievous grin, Shen Li knew someone was about to have a rough time.

His alluring red lips curled into a smile too, "What’s your plan?"

"I promised to help him find his daughter and give her back, but I didn’t promise a timeline."

Shen Tang had become sly now, and especially when dealing with someone slippery like Mo Yan, she had to be even slipperier! Otherwise, that old fox might turn around and sell them to the Divine Hall again!

Shen Tang said, "I’m not some benevolent saint saving the suffering, it’s time to settle old scores with that old bird! Wu Wei now serves as leverage in our hands, ensuring Mo Yan doesn’t double-cross us again."

"So I told Mo Yan in the letter that his daughter is found, the Memory Stone records the situation in the Divine Hall prison and his daughter’s condition, proving we’re not lying."

"On the surface, both sides need a way to exit gracefully. The letter explains Wu Wei suffered inhumane treatment in prison, and her body hasn’t fully healed. As a top Healer, I’m ’voluntarily’ offering to heal his daughter. Won’t he be grateful to me? Once his daughter’s healed, I’ll return her."

Shen Li couldn’t help but laugh, gently tapping her nose, his charming, elongated fox eyes curved into crescents, "Xiao Tang’er has truly learned some tricks."

"I’m flattered~ Blame it on staying alongside a certain scheming fox all day, proximity to ink darkens indeed!" Shen Tang raised her eyebrows and replied.

"Ahem, this demeanor, I like even more." Shen Li quickly retorted.
