A few minutes later, i Ziqiang stood up from the ground.
It wasn't so horror movie cliché of a dead man turning over; Tang Rao had turned i Ziqiang into a Death Energy Puppet.
To Tang Rao, this wasn't a difficult feat at all.
After all, he was the creator of the Death Energy Puppet; Tu Sheng, i Fanghua, and even the Soul Capture Pavilion were nothing more than thieves.
"Done, that settles it." Tang Rao was quite pleased with i Ziqiang before him.
At this mont, i Ziqiang looked almost the sa as when he was alive, except his complexion was a bit paler, his body slightly withered, and there was no light in his eyes.
"How are you going to lure i Fanghua over?" Fang Ying asked.
"Didn't you say you were smart? You think of sothing." Tang Rao said to Fang Ying.
"You could just go straight to i Fanghua. She'll definitely chase after you. Then, just run back this way." Fang Ying suggested after so thought.
Tang Rao: "..."
"Damn, you're harsh, aren't you? What if i Fanghua corners ? I'd be screwed then, won't I?" Tang Rao shouted at Fang Ying.
"You're Tang Rao! You were the ruler of the Central Emperor Realm! You can singlehandedly take on a bunch of cultivators at the peak of tribulation crossing, what's there to fear!" Fang Ying humd.
"Bullshit, if I could take on a bunch of cultivators at the peak of tribulation crossing on my own, why would I bother with all this? Do I look like I'm idle to the point of being sick?"
"Aren't you? Aren't you idle to the point of being brain-damaged?" Fang Ying retorted.
Tang Rao: "..."
"Anyway, think of another plan."
"I got nothing." Fang Ying shook her head.
"You're really cunning," Tang Rao cursed at Fang Ying, "You definitely want i Fanghua to kill . If I die, you won't have to follow , and you'll be free."
"That's right." Fang Ying nodded, not denying it at all.
"Truly, hell hath no fury like a woman's scorn."
"That's because so n are too foolish."
"I can't be bothered talking to you."
...
A few minutes later, Tang Rao quietly left the room with Fang Ying. They didn't leave Tu Sheng's courtyard but instead hid in another room.
Then, Tang Rao slightly loosened the seal on i Ziqiang's aura.
The mark i Fanghua left on i Ziqiang's body suddenly erged, and of course, the next mont, Tang Rao sealed it back up again.
The instant release of the aura was already enough.
Enough to draw i Fanghua here.
As Tang Rao anticipated, the mont he released the seal on i Ziqiang's aura, in the grand hall, i Fanghua suddenly stood up, her gaze sharp as knives.
"Bang!" In the next instant, i Fanghua disappeared and reappeared right in Tu Sheng's courtyard.
The speed of a peak tribulation-crossing cultivator was indeed fast; without utilizing a Space Rift, such a short distance was covered in the blink of an eye.
"Tu Sheng!" i Fanghua's eyes blazed with fury as she roared.
In the room, hearing i Fanghua's roar, Tu Sheng's heart jolted. Had she discovered sothing?
Could it be that Lao San?
Tu Sheng always felt that there was sothing fishy about the so-called Lao San that i Ziqiang knew.
Lao San was not around when i Ziqiang was being killed. i Ziqiang held Lao San in high regard and had great appreciation for him; it made no sense for Lao San not to be present. Furthermore, since i Fanghua said that i Ziqiang's body was not found, Lao San beca even more suspicious.
If this Lao San planned to trap him, it would be very likely that he would throw i Ziqiang's body right into his own residence.
If that happened, he would be without an alibi.
Of course, staying hidden and not going out was not an option at this ti.
Soon, Tu Sheng ran outside and, with a stiff neck, walked towards i Fanghua.
"Your Majesty? May I ask what's the matter?" Tu Sheng asked, showing confusion and bewildernt on his face.
Bang!
i Fanghua didn't bother to exchange words with Tu Sheng; she instantly grabbed Tu Sheng by the throat.
"Speak, where is Zi Qiang!" i Fanghua roared.
As expected!
Tu Sheng's heart jolted, had Lao San already thrown i Ziqiang's body into the courtyard? Most likely, otherwise, i Fanghua would not have co charging over directly; she must have sensed the mark she had left on i Ziqiang's body.
"Your Majesty, what do you an by this?" At this ti, Tu Sheng could only play dumb, as if admitting that he had killed i Ziqiang was an option.
As long as i Fanghua confird that it was he who had killed i Ziqiang, she would kill him without hesitation.
He was very clear about who i Fanghua was; i Ziqiang was the most important person to her, even if he was her most capable assistant, she would turn on him in an instant.
"Don't take for a fool!" i Fanghua threatened, getting closer to Tu Sheng, her gaze terrifying.
"Your Majesty, I truly have no idea. There is sothing wrong with this matter; perhaps, soone is framing , with the purpose of creating a rift between us!" Tu Sheng said.
i Fanghua's brow slightly furrowed, and she loosened her grip on Tu Sheng.
Indeed, that was a possibility.
Moreover, i Fanghua could not think of any reason why Tu Sheng would kill i Ziqiang.
"Just now I sensed the mark I engraved on Zi Qiang's body, and the source of that energy, it's from your direction. Although the energy disappeared in a flash, it was definitely here," i Fanghua said.
"It must have been soone deliberately doing this. If I had killed Zi Qiang, do you think I would be stupid enough to place Zi Qiang's body inside my own residence?" Tu Sheng asked.
i Fanghua frowned, that was also true.
"Let's go!" i Fanghua pulled Tu Sheng and headed straight inside the house.
Whether Zi Qiang was there or not, a quick search would tell.
Soon, the whole courtyard was thoroughly searched, and i Fanghua did not find i Ziqiang's body.
"Over here!" i Fanghua pointed towards a hidden courtyard gate.
"That way... is the back door, going out there ans leaving," Tu Sheng said.
Hearing Tu Sheng's words, i Fanghua felt a headache looming. Could it really be as Tu Sheng said, soone was ssing with them? But who could it be? Why would Zi Qiang's energy disappear in a flash? Even if soone wanted to fra Tu Sheng, i Ziqiang's body should still have been there.
"Your Majesty, I have a few words to say, let's talk inside the house," Tu Sheng spoke, attempting to lead i Fanghua away.
Inside that hidden courtyard gate lived Fang Ying.
Fang Ying harbored imnse hatred towards him, if she told i Fanghua a heap of nonsense upon seeing her, then he would truly be finished.
"What is it?" i Fanghua asked.
"Your Majesty, follow ," saying so, Tu Sheng walked towards the outer courtyard.
However, after only a couple of steps, i Fanghua's expression changed once more.
"Zi Qiang!!" i Fanghua thundered, abruptly turning her gaze towards the courtyard gate.
This is bad!
"Let's go!" i Fanghua grabbed Tu Sheng and charged into the courtyard where Fang Ying resided.
After entering, i Fanghua's gaze beca intensely focused.
"Tu Sheng, you said this was the back door, didn't you?" i Fanghua looked at Tu Sheng.
"Perhaps... I rembered wrong," Tu Sheng said.
i Fanghua's expression completely chilled, "You placed so many Death Energy Puppets here and you tell you rembered wrong. Tu Sheng, do you think I, i Fanghua, am too stupid to be saved?"
Of course, you're stupid, do you really need soone else to realize it? Tu Sheng muttered to himself internally.
Of course, this thought was only for his own mind, absolutely sothing he could not say out loud.
