The moonlight was like water, covering the entire imperial capital little by little as the night grew deeper and deeper.

Tianyu City turned from noisy to quiet, seemingly only in an instant.

Gao Chengchuan rocked the chair, and the wood made a creaking sound. He gently stroked the severed arm of his left hand with his right hand, and the image of the day when Xiao Qianye cut off his hand kept replaying in his cloudy eyes.

Shrunk into a point - they are two people. He is in Xiao Qianye's body, and can see everything through him like a fused soul, but he clearly has not actively snatched control of the body, but is more like a

A subtle peaceful coexistence.

He claims to be from the Heaven Realm, so he must be an old friend of the Night King. Since the Feitian Plan and the Ten Palaces of Hell are both deliberate designs by the Heaven Realm to destroy Fei Yuan, why would that person do the opposite and even stand on the side of the Heaven Realm?

On Xiao Qianye’s side?

Gao Chengchuan narrowed his eyes meaningfully, and couldn't help but imagine that Feiyuan didn't have much record of the heavenly realm. He only knew that it was twelve powerful humans who broke through all obstacles, leveled all obstacles, and finally became

Perhaps in order to maintain a sense of distance between the "gods" and the master of the sky, the titles and names of the twelve gods were not recorded in more detail.

After all, the Twelve Gods are still just humans... As long as they are humans, they will have complex emotions, and it is not strange for them to have conflicts and grudges between them.

Gao Chengchuan rubbed the wound. In fact, after years of personally testing medicine, his body was very weak to pain. But when the sword cut off his left hand, he clearly felt the most deadly pain in his life.

It seemed as if that sword could really cut off a person's soul along with it.

There was another person in Xiao Qianye's body. He must have discovered something on his left arm, so he cut it off with a knife or even burned it directly with spiritual magic.

Gao Chengchuan smiled slightly. He has always been a thoughtful person, how could he put all the chips together?

He sighed, picked up the fire stick at hand and lit up the dim room. His old eyes flashed under the lamp, faintly sinister.

By the light of the fire, murderous intent flashed through the old man's eyes, and the same dense needle holes appeared on his right arm. The strange curse lines were clear from the bottom of the skin bit by bit. Gao Chengchuan secretly used his luck to hit the target with all his strength.

On the wrist, something like an earthworm was seen snaking down the arm and crawling to the center of the curse pattern, where a black shadow suddenly appeared.

"Zheng." Gao Chengchuan exhaled, his eyes became more serious, staring at the dark figure, and lowered his voice, "What happened to Feng Siniang? Who killed her?"

The black shadow shook for a moment, and a calm voice came out: "The Anbu Sandalwood Token held by Siniang was stolen by Pavilion Master Xiao. Perhaps the two had a conflict over this matter. Siniang was killed near Tianzheng Mansion.

The specific situation... my subordinates have not yet investigated clearly."

"Oh?" Gao Chengchuan trailed off, obviously not believing it. An unexpected light flashed in his eyes. He was silent for a while and then said: "Zheng, Pavilion Master Xiao will not kill Feng Siniang, you are lying to me."

"I don't dare." Heiying answered calmly and calmly, "Feng Siniang was indeed killed near Tianzheng Mansion. As long as the Governor made a little inquiry, he would know that his subordinates did not hide anything.

"

Gao Chengchuan pursed his lips. Ever since Mingxi deliberately isolated him, the Governor's Mansion has been monitored by mysterious spells. In order to prevent the recurrence of branches, he originally planned to recharge his batteries safely and wait until the soul fusion was successful.

You can get rid of this old and severely injured body and make a comeback. Never expected that at this juncture, Feng Siniang, the leader of the ANBU, would actually be assassinated?

His keen intuition in dealing with complex political arenas for many years made him feel uneasy and irritable. There was something fishy about this matter. Was it directed at Tianzheng Mansion or at Gao Chengchuan?

Countless possibilities flashed through his mind for a moment. Gao Chengchuan was in a daze and murmured: "Zheng, you said Feng Siniang is dead. Will Pavilion Master Xiao put this debt on my head?"

"Huh?" The voice opposite the black shadow obviously hesitated and said in a low voice, "I don't know."

"I don't know?" Gao Chengchuan snorted coldly, but there was a hint of utter disappointment in his eyes. He smiled bitterly and understood a little, "Zheng, you are a smart man, otherwise I would not be able to hand over the position of ANBU commander with peace of mind.

You, let’s not talk about whether Pavilion Master Xiao and the Feng family have feelings for each other. If he already knew that Siniang was from the ANBU, and the sandalwood order unique to the ANBU lost her front legs and she was killed on the back legs, who would have changed such a coincidence?

They all think it’s my order, right?”

The black shadow was silent. Through the sight of the puppet insect, Azheng suddenly noticed that Governor Gao's eyes became sharp, and even smiled proudly: "I have lost power, and what I have to do now is to avoid its sharp edge, but Siniang

He was killed, and the murderer pointed directly at ANBU, Zheng, do you think this is really a coincidence?"

A Zheng had a gloomy face, obviously hiding in a dark corner, but his eyes were shining brightly. There was a hint of brisk viciousness in the corner of his mouth, but his tone was still as steady as Taishan: "As long as Pavilion Master Xiao feels that it is your order, then

It must be your order, right?"

"Ha..." Gao Chengchuan continued to sneer. Even though they were far apart, the conversation between the two suddenly became tit-for-tat, "Zheng, what do you want to do?"

People in the darkness looked up attentively not far away. The moonlight fell lightly, shrouding the overly quiet Governor's Mansion in silence. During this period, green lanterns were always lit around the Governor's Mansion, which at first glance looked like ghost fires in the night.

, is actually a technique from Dongming, the purpose is to monitor Gao Chengchuan's every move in the mansion. However, tonight, as if they were deliberately waiting for someone, the guards stationed there extinguished all the lanterns, and even

The doors are still open.

There is a translucent green butterfly flying under the eaves, like a silent and secret observer hiding in the dark.

After receiving no response for a long time, Gao Chengchuan finally couldn't help it anymore and urged: "Zheng, do you also want to add insult to injury and take advantage of the situation?"

"Oh?" Ah Zheng smiled slightly. Such words made him feel helpless. He had been in the hands of Gao Chengchuan since he was a child. He was skinned, boned and fleshed. He was on the verge of death countless times and was pulled from hell countless times.

He came back, and then continued to be pushed back to hell. He kept seeing no hope over and over again. To humans, he was just a despicable alien, but he betrayed the aliens in order to survive. He had no way out and no future.

Gao Chengchuan actually accused Gao Chengchuan of "adding insult to injury and taking advantage of the situation"?

It was a nightmare that he couldn't wake up from. As long as Gao Chengchuan was alive, he would never be able to escape this nightmare.

"Haha... Hahaha." Finally he couldn't help but laugh. A cold light shone in A Zheng's eyes, and his tone was as if he was in a cold cave. "How many lives does Governor Gao hold in his hands? It's not just the ones planted in his heart.

Fusion souls, as well as puppet bugs hidden in various parts of the body, have you not hesitated to test the medicine yourself for so many years just to hold these lives firmly in your hands, right?"

Gao Chengchuan said nothing, feeling chills in his heart, feeling that this familiar confidant was suddenly unfamiliar.

"Let me calculate carefully. The target of the soul fusion is Mu Xizhao. From the day you picked him up, you have planned to make him your new 'container', right? Governor Gao, sometimes I really

I admire you. You are clearly taking advantage of him. Anyone with eyes can see that it is Sima Zhao's heart. Everyone knows it! But what about him? He is really devoted to you!"

Ah Zheng couldn't help but shake his head. He still felt incomprehensible to this day, and raised his hand to hold his chest: "There are also those puppet bugs, not only me, but also the people in charge of the ANBU base in the four realms. Do you have them?"

How vicious and cruel can you be to keep such a thing in your body?"

Gao Chengchuan looked solemn and blurted out: "Since you know that you have a puppet bug on your body, aren't you afraid that I will strangle it to death right now and drag you to hell with it?"

"Go to hell...yes, go to hell." Azheng repeated in a low voice, remembering something, and suddenly smiled gently, "Siniang said that she will wait for you in hell, and she will also...wait for me.

."

"Did you really kill Si Niang?"

"Yes, and no." Azheng's eyes slowly became solemn, and in that bottomless gaze, he whispered, "Perhaps it should be said that she was willing to be killed by me. Do you know why?"

"She wants to put the blame on me!" Gao Chengchuan was furious. As expected, it was no wonder that he felt that there was something fishy about this matter early on. It was actually Feng Siniang and Azheng who were trying to frame him!

"Bringing the blame?" Azheng's lips curved into a bleak smile and he shook his head, "Don't say it so harshly. Why did Feng Siniang join the ANBU? How did she get here all these years? Governor Gao, you know better than anyone else that she is

So what if you want to kill someone with a borrowed knife, shouldn't you die?"

"Zheng, are you tired of living too?"

"I'm tired of living." Azheng continued indifferently. He suddenly raised his head and looked at the end of the road. His eyes were like daggers. Even though they were far apart, he still recognized the man who was striding away.

The person who came over, wearing a familiar silver-black military uniform and holding a sword spirit filled with white light, was Xiao Qianye, the current master of the military pavilion.

Gao Chengchuan clenched his fists, and a strange insect emerged from the center of the black shadow. He pinched the puppet insect with his fingers and said sternly: "As long as I strangle this puppet insect to death, you can reunite with Siniang.

"

"Pinch if you want." Azheng exhaled and reminded, "Anyway, if I die, you won't be able to contact the other Anbu people in the four realms, so the only bargaining chip to contain His Majesty will be useless. I would like to take a look.

, how will His Majesty deal with you."

"You!" Gao Chengchuan took a breath of cold air, and his eyes became nervous and trembling - after his left arm was cut off, he could no longer directly contact the ANBU of the four realms through previous spells, and although the puppet insect can influence life and death

, if he really wants to talk to those people, he must be within a certain distance. Now he can only send orders to the Anbu through Azheng, who is still in the imperial capital. If this person rebels at this time, then he will be truly alone and will definitely die!

"What's more..." Azheng's voice suddenly became frivolous, with a bit of teasing, and he said with interest, "What's more, besides Feng Siniang, someone else was also killed. It's better for the Governor to go out now.

If you go around the hospital, you might see someone you know!"

Gao Chengchuan's face changed violently, and he stood up and rushed out without thinking. The moon hung high in the night sky, and the silver light shone coldly on the backyard. The cold wind in early winter was not yet bone-deep, but it made Gao Chengchuan feel like he was in an ice cave.

He froze in place.

There was a head hanging on the tall ginkgo tree in the backyard, and blood was still dripping from the severed neck.

"Prince Grand Administrator..." Gao Chengchuan murmured three words, and the eyes of his head were wide open, and his gaze was not even distracted, staring straight at him as if he was still conscious.

Gao Chengchuan's back felt cold, he couldn't help but take a few steps back, and his breathing began to quicken.

He had seen countless cruel scenes in his life, and his men had been stained with the blood of countless people. But at this moment, he felt an unprecedented fear when facing a familiar head.

The black shadow let out an astonishing low laugh and reminded him with disgust: "Before strangling that puppet insect, Governor Gao should greet the distinguished guests first."

Before he finished speaking, the wall was chopped into ruins with a sword. Amidst the flying dust, a familiar figure walked towards him step by step with firm steps.
