With such an organization around, it was simply a huge threat to internal security. After exchanging souls, they could exchange souls again, but if any damage was caused to the original body during this period, it would be irreversible.

Moreover, there was another worry. If someone chose a high-ranking official as an exchange target, it would be a disaster for the entire country.

Gu Jia said anxiously, “Then what should I do to make my superior believe this? I can’t let it go so easily.”

“You said that the investigation team is already being formed. The country must have sensed something. You can just tell the investigation team what happened when the time comes,” Gu Luo concluded.

Everyone felt that what he said made sense and suggested that Gu Jia do so.

Gu Jia nodded and said, “This is indeed a good idea, but do we still have to let those people continue to do evil?”

Purple Eye sighed and said, “But we don’t have any other choice. Although I remembered this matter, in order to prevent myself from developing inner demons, I didn’t look at those spells, I burned them clean. I don’t know how to exchange souls back at all. I could only wait for the agreement to dissipate before I could get back on track.”

Gu Lin patted Gu Jia’s shoulder and comforted him. “There’s nothing we can do. Moreover, if we attack now, not only will we not be able to save those people, but we will also alert them.”

Gu Jia said dejectedly, “That’s the only way.”

Since she had said what she needed to say, Purple Eye immediately left Yunbao’s body. It was fine for Yunbao’s body to be possessed. After opening her eyes, she said, “I actually want to ask another question. When will Devon be caught? I’m worried about Sister Lily.”

Recently, Yunbao had been seeing Lily looking sad as if her body could not take it anymore. However, she had not shown it in front of the adults, which made everyone think that she was actually fine.

At the mention of this, Gu Yu, who had been silent all this while, spoke up. “I’ve always been responsible for tracking down Mao Feng and Devon, but I couldn’t find them even after using many people. Even the people from the Dark Network said that there was no trace of them, so I suspect that they either escaped or…”

“Or someone is protecting them,” Gu Sen continued. “Those guards outside the capital are the combined forces of our three aristocratic families. It’s impossible for them to escape without anyone knowing. We’ve even arranged for people to sneak in. They must still be in the capital.”

Gu Yu nodded and said, “I think so too. However, I really can’t think of anyone who can take them in at the risk of being hated by the Gu family. After all, they have a good relationship with our Gu family on the surface.”

“Then what should we do?” Yunbao was anxious. “Sister Lily doesn’t have much time to wait.”

Everyone fell silent. Now that the enemy was in the dark and they were in the light, it was as difficult as ascending to the heavens to find them. Even if they investigated who was suspected, it would not be done in two days. Lily could only hold on for a while longer…

Just as everyone did not know how to answer Yunbao, Cheng Xi walked down the stairs and said, “Send me overseas. Use me as bait to lure Devon out.”

Gu Peng frowned and said, “I know you want to force Devon to come out and capture you, but he is a wizard with cultivation. If he really takes you away, how will Lily live?”

“Waiting now is the real reason why Lily can’t live!” Cheng Xi said firmly. “Devon’s obsession is with me. As long as I can appear in the public eye, he will definitely pay attention to me. As long as I announce that I want to bring the child back overseas, he will definitely not be able to sit still.”

Cheng Xi was right. Devon was willing to create a child to tie Cheng Xi up. It could be seen that his obsession with her had already reached his bones. As long as he had the chance to take her away, he would definitely not give up.

Gu Peng wanted to persuade her to think of another way, but Cheng Xi stopped him. “If you really care about me, you will respect my choice.”

Since Cheng Xi had already decided to do this, everyone could only help. Gu Lin stood up and said, “I’ll hold a small ball tomorrow. At that time, Cheng Xi will attend as a family member recognized by our Gu family. After that, we can let her appear in public in the Gu family and announce that she’s going overseas with her child.”

“At that time, he will definitely come. As long as he’s still alive, he will definitely not let me off.” Cheng Xi said with tears in her eyes..
