As it turned out, Yekong found the process of clearing level after level far too slow, and there was no telling how many more obstacles awaited him. Therefore, he simply chose the easiest path available: playing dead.
As long as he played dead, no one could do anything to him. Once Emperor Luo’s men believed he had fallen into their trap, he could launch a sudden counterattack and take the opportunity to rescue Xiaobai.
The facts proved that Yekong’s plan was sound. Inside the Taoist temple, Emperor Luo saw that Yekong had taken the bait. He hesitated at first, then sent someone to probe, and seeing Yekong remain motionless, he became convinced that Yekong had truly been gravely injured by his traps. Feeling smug, he ordered his disciple to bring Yekong up.
