"Kong Sheng, you know everything about this Gu Chen, don't you? What was His Majesty thinking? How could he place Li Wuwei's successor by his side! "Sha Luo Man asked without hesitation.
Kong Sheng looked at her slowly and shook his head. "You've been the leader of the Sky Shadows for so many years, but you're still so impatient. It seems like you haven't experienced enough in the various prefectures."
Sha Luo Man exploded. "I've been through life and death in the outside world. How can someone like you, who spends all your time in the Ministry of Works, imagine what I've experienced!"
Kong Sheng shook his head again. He stood up and left the side of the hall.
"Come with me. I'll tell you everything you want to know. His Majesty guessed that you'd want to get to the bottom of things. "
Sha Luo Man followed him immediately. Kong Sheng brought her deep into the palace and finally stopped in front of a majestic treasury.
Creak —
Kong Sheng opened the door and walked in. He took out the storage ring that Gu Chen had given him and took out a large number of treasures. He piled them up in a corner of the treasury.
This place was obviously the treasury of the Xing Prefecture. The treasures were piled up like a mountain. Compared to the treasures that Gu Chen had brought back, they were just a drop in the ocean!
"It's quiet enough here. It's time for you to answer my question."
Sha Luo Man couldn't hold back her thoughts along the way.
Kong Sheng turned around and looked at her with a smile. "Sha Luo, how much do you know about that Gu Chen?"
Sha Luo Man answered without hesitation. "When I was still active in the outer prefectures, I heard that there was someone like him in Xing Prefecture. However, I didn't know much about his background. I only knew that he came from the Ninth Realm.
"However, I fought with him at the border of Lei Prefecture. I was shocked when I found out that he was Li Wuwei's successor!
"After that, I immediately retrieved his information. I was even more shocked. Apart from being Li Wuwei's successor, he was also a remnant of the Tyrants. I was even more puzzled.
"You have to know that Li Wuwei and His Highness were like fire and water back then, and the Tyrants were exterminated by His Highness. Based on the standpoint that Gu Chen represents, it's impossible for him to be loyal to Xing County!"
"With His Majesty's eyesight, there's no way he wouldn't be able to see through this kid's background. But he actually promoted him to be a Tian Fa Great General. This matter is too strange, so I rushed back without stopping to get an answer!"
Sha Luo Man finished her sentence in one go. She had been suppressing these words for a long time, and she couldn't rest until she understood them.
As Kong Sheng listened, he only uttered one sentence leisurely. "Little Sha, the White-Haired Demon Monarch from back then has appeared again."
"What?" Sharaman's expression changed drastically.
"You should have some understanding of the trials of the Ninth Realm. After the geniuses of the Hundred Realms met with an accident, the Lord sent Pang Zheng to suppress the Ninth Realm. However, he accidentally discovered that the White-Haired Demon Lord had been there."
"Although I don't know why he returned to the Ninth Realm after so many years, you also know what he means to the Lord."
Kong Sheng said meaningfully.
Sharaman quickly regained her composure and fell into deep thought. After a while, she said. "The White-Haired Demon Monarch went to the Ninth Realm for that Gu Chen?"
"This matter can't be confirmed yet, but there must be some connection. After all, you and I both know the relationship between the White-Haired Demon Monarch and the Tyrants, "Kong Sheng said.
Sharaman pondered even more seriously. "I understand what you mean. The Lord deliberately recruited Gu Chen and wanted to use him to lure out the White-Haired Demon Monarch. However, that kid is not only the descendant of the Tyrants, but also the descendant of Li Wuwei. Isn't the Lord afraid of these two identities? "
Kong Sheng's face revealed a mocking smile when he heard this.
"Little Sha, Li Wuwei was indeed extremely talented back then. It's no wonder that after so many years, you're still so afraid of him and even pay so much attention to his descendant."
"However, to the Lord, so what if Li Wuwei is powerful?"
"Back then, Li Wuwei fought against the Lord for his hometown. His strength was indeed terrifying, but how did he fare in front of the big shots of the Upper Realm?"
"In the end, didn't he choose to endure the humiliation and let our Xing County conquer the Ninth Realm?"
"The Lord has great ambitions. He doesn't even care about Li Wuwei, let alone his descendant."
Kong Sheng's words made Sharaman hold her breath. Li Wuwei had indeed left a huge shadow on her back then. Perhaps she had really cared too much about him.
However …
"Even if the Lord doesn't care about Gu Chen's identity, isn't it strange that the bloodline of the Tyrants has inherited Li Wuwei's orthodoxy?"
"Don't forget that in order to protect the civilians of the Ninth Realm, Li Wuwei also participated in the pursuit of the Tyrants!"
Sharaman said again.
"This matter is indeed strange. I'm afraid there's something hidden in it, but what does it have to do with us?"
Kong Sheng answered indifferently. Suddenly, a cold glint flashed in his eyes. "The Lord only wants the White-Haired Demon Monarch. As for that Gu Chen, even if he shows signs of danger, the Lord doesn't care. As his subordinates, we'll just be responsible for killing him."
Sharaman had nothing else to say. "I understand what you mean. We'll do as you say!"
Kong Sheng nodded in satisfaction. Although Sharaman often had some unnecessary concerns, her loyalty was unquestionable.
"By the way, where did the Lord go? You didn't explain clearly earlier. "Sharaman thought of something else.
"The Realm Wave has already shown signs of appearing. It's in line with the Lord's original senses. It happened so suddenly. The Lord and the Hundred Commanderies Dao Lords gathered to discuss important matters, "Kong Sheng answered truthfully.
"Is the Realm Sea going to reopen again?" Sharaman took a deep breath. No wonder the Lord was in such a hurry to find the White-Haired Demon Monarch.
"The Chaotic Sea will become more and more chaotic. In the face of the great event of the Realm Sea reopening, everything will become insignificant."
"Although you've just returned, I'm afraid there won't be time for you to rest. Very soon, you'll have to travel to the commanderies again," Kong Sheng said.
This was a repeat of what Dao Lord Xing had said before he left.
"I understand. I'll leave after a few days in the Realm of Punishment. As for you, haven't you solved the problem of that little girl yet? Does your theory work? "
The two began to chat casually. They seemed to know everything about each other like the back of their hands.
"My theory can't be wrong. As for that little girl, I already have a solution." Kong Sheng smiled faintly and did not explain further.
The two chatted for a long time in the treasury before leaving together. The doors of the treasury closed!
A long time after the two left, an inconspicuous ore suddenly glowed faintly from the pile of treasures that Gu Chen had brought back. Then, it transformed into an illusory figure. It was Gu Chen's figure!
Looking at the tightly shut doors of the treasury, Gu Chen's illusory figure's expression unknowingly became incomparably solemn.
He had played a trick on the treasures he had handed over. He had secretly left behind a divine will doppelganger of his.
This was originally targeted at Dao Lord Xing. He wanted to spy on everything about him. For this, he did not hesitate to take the risk of Dao Lord Xing's thunderous rage.
