Chapter 783: Chapter 31. One More Me Doesn’t Make a Difference [Ask for Monthly Tickets!]_1

"Such sturdy armor."

Upon returning to the courtyard where everyone was temporarily staying, Chu Liang couldn’t help but exclaim while recounting his experiences after entering the building.

When he realized something was wrong and unexpectedly entered the high building, he encountered General Yu Bo committing murder. He initially intended to engage in a battle.

However, the instant he drew his sword, he felt that his strongest move, one swing Void Slash Slashed, couldn’t break through General Yu Bo’s heavy armor defense. If that was the case, victory would be virtually impossible for him.

Moreover, the internal strife of Fuyao Country had nothing to do with him. It wouldn’t make sense for him to risk his life here. Even if it’s his avatar that came, death would still result in the loss of many valuable items. There was no need to take such a risk.

In fulfilment of his promise to Hu Sanlang, he still managed to rescue the Fuyao Country Monarch amidst the chaos and brought him along.

Although Jing Wuya was powerful, Chu Liang managed to get away unimpeded.

At this moment, a somewhat dazed Han Lingshou was seated in the courtyard’s parlor, looking at Chu Liang, Lin Bei, Iron Hammer, Xue Lingxue...

"Eh?" His eyes lit up: "Miss Xue, did you save me?"

"I saved you..." Chu Liang blocked his line of sight, "I’m Chu Liang from Shu Mountain."

"Ah, thank you, Warrior Chu." Han Lingshou nodded in gratitude, but his gaze had already moved past Chu Liang, refocusing on Xue Lingxue: "If it wasn’t for Miss Xue this time, I really would have been done for."

"If it wasn’t for Miss Xue, you might not have faced any trouble had you not left the palace." Visibly speechless, Chu Liang blocked his line of sight once again and asked: "Your Majesty, wouldn’t it be best for you to carefully consider how to deal with General Yu Bo?"

If Jing Wuya had orchestrated this trouble for Xue Lingxue, then they all had a common enemy at the moment.

If they dealt with General Yu Bo, the issue with the fake Xue Lingxue would also be resolved.

On top of that, Chu Liang had a vague feeling that the previous incident with the Golden Frog and this mysterious magical treasure named The Treasure Mirror of Retention were connected — it’s likely that General Yu Bo and Mars are somehow associated.

Luckily they managed to save the monarch of Fuyao Country, who should still hold considerable influence in Surge Wave City.

"Jing Wuya?" At the mention of this name, Han Lingshou’s expression darkened, "Once I return to the palace and summon my subordinates, we’ll completely eradicate this treacherous villain from Yu Bo Mansion!"

"No!"

At the sound of a sudden exclamation, Hu Sanlang strode in from the outside. When everyone had hurried back with Chu Liang, he had stayed behind to gather information.

And he returned just in time.

Seeing his face, the monarch of Fuyao Country visibly flinched: "Is that you? Are you not dead?"

"Your Majesty!" Hu Sanlang paid his respects, "It’s me who was framed by Jing Wuya back then and almost killed. He then used someone to disguise themselves as me to commit an assassination..."

"I was able to arrive in time this time, thanks to Hu Sanlang’s warning." Chu Liang interjected from the side.

"So, that’s what happened." Han Lingshou slammed his hand down onto the table, "That old traitor..."

As he spoke, his gaze shifted to Xue Lingxue on the side, and he suddenly laughed: "Miss Xue, your name includes the character ’ling’ and so does mine. Do you think this could be a coinci..."

"Coincidence." Lin Bei bluntly interjected, "It is just a coincidence."

"Your Majesty, could we discuss the important matters first?" Chu Liang massaged his temples and spoke out.

"Alright, alright." Seeing Chu Liang’s displeasure, Han Lingshou quickly nodded.

Hu Sanlang then said with a furrowed brow: "Jing Wuya has already released the news that an assassin attempted to kill during the patrol. Thankfully, Your Majesty was well-prepared, and it was only the decoy that was killed, while the real monarch has safely returned to the palace."

Upon hearing this, everyone realized something was wrong.

It seemed Jing Wuya had successfully duplicated the appearance of the monarch of Fuyao Country and positioned himself on the throne. It would not be easy for the real monarch to reclaim his position now.

Han Lingshou, upon hearing this, was stunned, then slapped his thigh: "Oh no, I’ve become the decoy."

...

"Yu Bo Mansion has already decreed a citywide curfew; the Imperial Palace and the outer city’s defense are extremely tight. Whether one wants to leave the city or enter the palace, it won’t be easy." Hu Sanlang said, "As soon as His Majesty shows up recklessly, I fear there may be danger."

"What should I do? The moment I appear there’s danger, but if I don’t show myself, I can’t unveil his conspiracy." Han Lingshou also pondered, as he spoke, his gaze shifted back to Xue Lingxue, "Miss Xue hasn’t married yet, right? Would you mind someone older than you by a few years?"

"You’re already a whole circle older than her, you could easily be the father of a girl her age, not just a few years!" Lin Bei mercilessly ridiculated, "Moreover, is this the right time to ask this?"

Xue Lingxue: "..."

Aside from speechlessness, more speechlessness.

"Actually, this can be easily resolved." Chu Liang said, "We can directly call for aid from our circle of immortals."

A single arrow that pierces through clouds invites a million soldiers to meet. Even if General Yu Bo has the physique of iron, how many of Empress Feng can he deal with?

Bring over our master to give him a taste of steel refining by inferno, there should be no problem.

"But..." Xue Lingxue seemed to want to say something.

"Despite that, before doing this, we might as well investigate the identity of the impersonator first." Chu Liang guessed what she was thinking.

Calling someone over to suppress General Yu Bo isn’t difficult, but doing so might alert the enemy. If that happens, uncovering the truth would hence be difficult.

The reason they came here was to investigate the fake Xue Lingxue.

Even The Treasure Mirror of Retention couldn’t duplicate the owner’s music skills, and the fake Miss Xue, possessing superb music skills and cultivation of the Nanyin Square, makes the situation rather strange...

Could it be a mole from Nanyin Square?

"How do we investigate this?" Lin Bei was puzzled, "At this point, we can’t just go and confront Jing Wuya, right?"

"Why not?" Chu Liang suddenly counter-questioned.

"Huh?" Everyone was taken aback by his question.

Han Lingshou looked over at Xue Lingxue and suddenly asked, "Miss Xue, do you have a tiger tooth?"

"Shut up you!" Everyone shouted in unison, including Hu Sanlang, no longer paying respect to their monarch.

Chu Liang smiled and said, "If I were to investigate directly, I might not find out anything. However, what if the Monarch investigates? If the real monarch can’t find out anything, what if it’s the fake monarch?"

With that, he unleashed a cloud of misty breath, which abruptly transformed into a shiny magic mirror.

This is also one of the benefits of Chu Liang’s avatar stepping out.

When he left last time, he found that while his external avatar and main body couldn’t possess an artifact concurrently, they both have the White Pagoda. This was probably because the White Pagoda is linked to his godly soul, and the godly souls of his main body and avatar are integrated.

That is to say, his avatar can also enter the White Pagoda and get everything inside it.

When they had just entered the multi-story building, and the second the magic mirror reflected on him, he conjured up the Illusory Treasure Spiritual Fetus. The gush of misty Spiritual Breath that concealed his figure also made contact with the magic mirror.

As expected, it was the legendary Treasure Mirror of Retention.

At this moment, he brought out the illusion of the Treasure Mirror of Retention and suddenly reflected it towards Han Lingshou.

"Huh?" Han Lingshou was taken aback.

However, when Chu Liang flipped the magic mirror, everyone was surprised to see that the light shadow remained in the mirror and didn’t disappear.

Chu Liang attempted to extract the light shadow and incorporate it into his body. As the radiance flickered, his facial features began to change.

"This is how it works..." he slowly smiled, "It’s difficult for His Majesty to return to the Fuyao Royal Palace, but for me to infiltrate, it’s much easier."

"Given that there are already two monarchs now, having one more wouldn’t hurt."
