Upon hearing the Peacock God King's questioning, the "Dahei Jialuo" fell silent for a moment.

Fang Ze was feeling a bit panicked.
How panicked, you ask? Almost like the undercover cop in Infernal Affairs transmitting intelligence to the police, only to be suspected by the gang on the spot, that kind of panic.
After receiving that yellow brocade sachet from Emperor Li today, Fang Ze reflected for a full half-hour, and finally figured out Emperor Li and Old Mr. Bai's thinking: the empty city ruse.
To put it plainly, even though this world possesses various miraculous abilities, people cannot be resurrected after death. Demigods also cannot reverse time or causality, so Old Mr. Bai is indeed dead.
However... although Old Mr. Bai is dead, apart from Tian who dealt with Old Mr. Bai's corpse, who can confirm with 100% certainty that he is really dead?
