Moreover, once Old Daoist Tu found out about the current situation, he might not let him leave Qingdu. Let alone allow him to go to Di Hong City, otherwise, she would have released Old Daoist Tu long ago.
She indeed believed that Old Daoist Tu would do just that.
Baili Fengzhi walked into the cell, looking at the old man in the Daoist robe who remained silent within, and spoke up, "Your Highness is indeed formidable, were you the one who taught him?"
"Your Highness?" Daoist Tu slowly lifted his head, beneath the slightly disheveled strands of hair, his eyes were somewhat clouded and dim.
Baili Fengzhi looked at him, her tone calm, "It seems that Your Highness never discussed this matter with you."
Daoist Tu stared at her suddenly, his voice low, "What on earth are you talking about?"
"Are you still acting, or do you truly not know?" Baili Fengzhi slightly raised an eyebrow, saying, "Exactly, if you really knew, Your Highness should have released you long ago."
Daoist Tu furrowed his brows and said, "Who is the Your Highness you are talking about?"
"Your Highness seems to value you quite a bit." Baili Fengzhi scrutinized Daoist Tu, saying, "But Your Highness did not permit me to tell you the truth, so I dare not reveal it to you. It’s better you ask Your Highness yourself later."
She pondered for a moment and said, "I came to tell you something."
"Mm?" Daoist Tu looked at her.
"I know you have a good relationship with Lin Yue, he killed Xia Lie, and you needn’t act any longer."
Baili Fengzhi looked at Old Daoist Tu and softly said, "Just a while ago, Lin Yue was kidnapped by someone. Having known him for so long, do you have a way to find his whereabouts?"
"Kidnapped?" Daoist Tu took a deep breath and said, "How can I trust you?"
Baili Fengzhi slightly frowned and said, "You don’t need to trust me, I can release you right now, and you can find Lin Yue yourself."
As she spoke, her fingertip moved, and the dark golden strands binding Daoist Tu’s mana around his body also withdrew.
Daoist Tu was silent for a moment, looked at himself, and then at Baili Fengzhi, muttering, "It seems to be true, that boy is indeed still alive..."
He moved his fingertips slightly, making calculations, and after a while, he slowly exhaled.
"Can you confirm Lin Yue’s life or death?" Baili Fengzhi’s phoenix eyes under the mask lit up, "Earlier you used the astrological divination method?"
"Letting me out is useless."
Daoist Tu slowly said, "I am merely an outcast of the Shenxiao Sect, unable to activate any Shenxiao Daoism, nor can I save any important person, no different from an ordinary person..."
He waved his sleeve, and a talisman faintly emanating a thunderous glow flew out, drifting toward Baili Fengzhi.
"This Sahara Six Elements Life Talisman is closely tied to Lin Yue’s life. Through this life talisman, you can confirm his life and death. If you’re willing to pay the price, there’s a chance to trace his whereabouts."
Baili Fengzhi took the talisman, murmuring, "Sahara Six Elements Life Talisman? This is..."
She suddenly looked at Daoist Tu with shock, "You understand the astrological divination method and can also forge the legendary Sahara Six Elements Life Talisman. With such cultivation and Daoist prowess, why are you willing to let me imprison you in this dark and sunless dungeon? If you were to find Lin Yue..."
Daoist Tu slowly closed his eyes and said in a low voice, "He has his fate, and I can no longer break my vow..."
Baili Fengzhi slightly frowned, but she didn’t continue to speak, instead, she left with the talisman in hand.
What imprisoned this old Taoist was not this seemingly sturdy dungeon, not even she had ever been able to confine him.
But rather the prison he created within his own heart.
In the dim, cold prison, silence gradually resumed.
"Yue’er, your life is not meant to end."
In the darkness, the old man murmured, "But... Lu’er, Father seems still unable to stop it... Many times, ordinary people, indeed, can change nothing..."
