In the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom, Zhan Jingtao descended on Wu Suchen's island. He looked a little disheveled, and his clothes were torn. "Brother Wu, what are you doing?"
"What do you think I'm doing?" Wu Suchen glanced at Zhan Jingtao and frowned. "Wasn't this your idea?"
"My idea? What do you mean?" Zhan Jingtao asked doubtfully.
Wu Suchen's face darkened. "mander Zhan, you're not forgetful, are you? Where are my refining materials?"
"What refining materials? Brother Wu, can you be clearer?" Zhan Jingtao frowned. "Also, why are my Golden Dragon Guards here? What happened in the past few days while I was away?"
Zhan Jingtao was puzzled.
Wu Suchen felt a little flustered. He felt as if something bad had happened, but he didn't dare to think about it. "mander Zhan, what do you mean by the few days you were away?"
"What else could it mean?" Zhan Jingtao said angrily. "I was trapped by Mu Zhixing and the remnants of the Heavenly Court. It wasn't easy for me to escape, but those bastards have already disappeared."
He wasn't afraid of embarrassing himself and said it directly.
Zhan Jingtao said hatefully, "Mu Zhixing must have an extraordinary status in the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom. He has endless dharma treasures. If not for this, I would have taken him down long ago!"
Wu Suchen's mouth went dry. He looked at Zhan Jingtao. They had known each other for thousands of years, so he could naturally tell that Zhan Jingtao was not lying. "Who exactly are you?!"
Zhan Jingtao frowned. "Brother Wu, are you crazy? I'm Zhan Jingtao!"
"How can you prove that you're Zhan Jingtao?!" Wu Suchen roared. After careful observation, he finally realized that something was wrong. Zhan Jingtao actually didn't have an identity token.
"Prove it? What the hell are you talking about!" Zhan Jingtao was at a loss. "Why do I feel that the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom is in chaos in just a few days?"
Boom!
While they were talking, the heavy water suddenly surged, and Zhan Jingtao's expression changed. "Someone left the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom!"
Zhan Jingtao instantly understood. He was the mander of the Golden Dragon Guards of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom. He was in charge of the defense of the entire Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom.
How could he not notice that someone had blatantly left the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom?
"Oh no, Mu Zhixing and the others have escaped!" Zhan Jingtao frowned.
Wu Suchen opened his mouth, but his mouth felt so dry that he couldn't say a word.
No matter how slow his reaction was, he now understood.
The Zhan Jingtao from before was fake!
Although he didn't know what was going on, Wu Suchen already knew that he had been tricked.
He had fallen into a trap. "mander Zhan, do you remember that thirteen hundred years ago, I was stabbed in the left chest by an enemy—"
"It was the right chest," Zhan Jingtao interrupted.
Wu Suchen heaved a sigh of relief. To be able to say this, it meant that Zhan Jingtao was real. But only the two of them knew about this.
Wu Suchen said, "mander Zhan, there's someone in your Golden Dragon Guards named Jiang Shouzhen."
"Old Jiang? I know. What happened to Old Jiang?" Zhan Jingtao asked.
"Where is he?" Wu Suchen already had an answer in his heart, but he still felt a little hopeful.
"Someone! Call Old Jiang over!" Zhan Jingtao raised his voice.
A Golden Dragon Guard nearby responded.
After a while, the Golden Dragon Guard turned around and bowed to Zhan Jingtao. mander, Old Jiang is gone…"
The Golden Dragon Guard looked a little flustered.
Wu Suchen's vision darkened, and his body swayed.
That sliver of hope was gone.
Not only had Zhan Jingtao been fake, but Jiang Shouzhen had definitely been fake too.
The refining materials he had given them were gone!
They were treasures that he had worked hard to obtain for most of his life.
He had really gone back to liberation overnight[1].
Zhan Jingtao frowned. "Brother Wu, can you tell me what exactly happened?"
Wu Suchen sighed. "Brother Zhan, we've suffered a huge loss."
…
Boom!
Zhou Shu, Wang Xuanyi, Diao Moye, and Zhang San fell from the sky.
Seeing the familiar environment, they heaved a long sigh of relief.
It had to be said that the heavy water of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom was too oppressive. If people stayed there for too long, they would go crazy.
It was better here. There was sunlight, air, birdsongs, and the fragrance of flowers.
Just as they were greedily breathing in the air, a figure suddenly fell from behind them.
It was Mu Zhixing.
Wang Xuanyi and Diao Moye looked at each other and saw the surprise on their faces.
Mu Zhixing actually followed!
Moreover, he was holding the Longevity Sword.
Did Zhou Shu arrange this?
No wonder he wasn't worried about Shi Changsheng when they left the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom.
"Your Highness, you ran too fast. I almost couldn't make it over!" Mu Zhixing shouted in plaint. "This spatial rift has already been discovered by the Golden Dragon Guards. If I hadn't run fast, they would have destroyed it."
"Aren't you here now?"
Zhou Shu's words silenced him.
