"Welcome back, Your Majesty!" The officials of the Embroidered Uniform Guard's headquarters immediately bowed excitedly.
The people in the surroundings who saw Gu Hai also bowed respectfully.
Chen Tianshan, Montes, Guqin, Kong Xuan, Shangguan Hen, Ao Shun, and Gao Xianzhi all revealed joyful expressions. Even though Gu Hai showed an unfriendly expression at this moment, this was nothing to the loyal officials. As long as His Majesty returned, all the chaos would be cleared up.
"Chen Tianshan, let me ask you, why are you causing such a ruckus?!" Gu Hai said seriously.
The surroundings immediately fell silent.
"Your Majesty, the officials heard that there are spies in the imperial court and became agitated. Then, there was an assassination attempt here. The crown prince and Lord Meng nearly died. When the two saw Lord Mo, the officials believed that Lord Mo was a spy and wanted to severely punish him, "Chen Tianshan explained.
"How presumptuous!" Gu Hai's eyes turned cold.
The officials immediately trembled in fear.
"Heard? Since when did my Dahan Imperial Dynasty start punishing people for spreading rumors? "Gu Hai demanded coldly.
"These officials are guilty!" The expressions of the officials immediately changed.
"Since you are already here, everyone is here. The Embroidered Uniform Guard is in charge of recording. All officials, state your purpose for coming here today. Also, who started today's ruckus? Who was the first one to make such a fuss? Also, where did they find out about the spy? What about the person and the location? Write everything down clearly, then return to your respective residences, "Gu Hai ordered coldly.
"Yes!" The group of officials responded.
A large number of Embroidered Uniform Guards immediately surrounded the surroundings. No one could leave. Even the person who started the chaos could not leave. Everything was carefully investigated.
Gu Hai slowly landed before Guqin and Montes.
"Your Majesty, this official has failed in his duty!" Montes said with an unsightly expression.
"You also know about failing in your duty? How did the Embroidered Uniform Guard investigate spies in the past few years? The Boundless Celestial Capital's spies can already instigate a rebellion. Humph! Just one word of encouragement, and they all started to stir up trouble? Or is it because of your prestige as Montes? "Gu Hai said coldly.
"This subject does not dare!" Montes immediately prostrated himself on the ground, his face filled with fear.
Montes understood that this was Gu Hai blaming himself. During the chaos just now, he shouldn't have argued with Mo Yike, and he shouldn't have criticized Mo Yike in front of everyone. Even if he was really a spy, he shouldn't have caused internal strife at this critical juncture.
Gu Hai looked at Montes coldly. Then he looked at Guqin.
"Father, I am fine!" Guqin said bitterly.
Gu Hai placed his hand on Guqin's chest.
"Buzz!"
A surge of Heaven Replenishing Energy flowed into Guqin's body, and Guqin's injuries quickly healed.
"Your Majesty!" Kong Xuan, Shangguan Hen, Ao Shun, and the others said respectfully.
"Right. Thank you for your hard work. I will take care of this." Gu Hai nodded.
"Your Majesty, what about Lord Mo …?" Ao Shun looked at Mo Yike.
"I will investigate. Before we know who it is, do not make wild guesses!" Gu Hai said seriously.
"Yes!" everyone answered.
"Your Majesty, this subject has failed in his duty!" Chen Tianshan said bitterly.
After looking at Chen Tianshan, Gu Hai's gaze turned much gentler. "That is already pretty good. This time, the enemy came with a strong momentum. It is not your fault!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Chen Tianshan answered.
"Alright, you may withdraw. Organize everything that happened over the past year into a book and send it to the study!" Gu Hai looked at Chen Tianshan.
"Yes!" the others answered.
Chen Tianshan also answered and went to organize the information over this period.
The commotion died down in the blink of an eye. However, Gu Hai understood that the enemy was hiding in the dark.
Early the next morning, in the study:
Chen Tianshan delivered a large amount of information.
Gu Hai sat behind the study table. However, Mo Yike stood in front of him.
"Your Majesty, this is all the information you asked for over the past year, including the personnel transfers in the Endless Celestial Capital!" Chen Tianshan said solemnly.
"Alright!" Gu Hai answered indifferently.
Chen Tianshan withdrew.
As Chen Tianshan left, he glanced at Mo Yike, who was in the study, in surprise.
A pile of information was placed at the side. However, there was another pile of letters on Gu Hai's desk.
"These are?" Gu Hai looked at Mo Yike.
"Overnight, this subject found letters of treason in his residence and the residences of several officials with whom he was on good terms!" Mo Yike said with a smile.
"Your letters of treason?" Gu Hai asked Solemnly.
"Indeed. We went to eight hundred thousand years ago. When this subject returned, I discovered something unusual. Haha! It turns out that all of this was waiting for us. If Your Majesty had not returned yesterday, this batch of letters of treason would have been the second round of evidence to put this subject to death. Furthermore, there was a spy among the eight people in the meeting that day. If they added insult to injury, this subject might have died without a burial ground. What a vicious plan! "Mo Yike said coldly.
"This plan is not very clever. They just had time to plan!" Gu Hai said with a frown.
"Yes, this subject underestimated this Great Emperor Dynasty. Humph, this scheme has already reached my Boundless Celestial Capital. This subject is even more surprised that Takeshi Ryūshin has already followed us to eight hundred thousand years ago. Who exactly was it that was manipulating the Great Emperor Dynasty in this year? Haha, it seems that our understanding of the Great Emperor Dynasty is not thorough enough. There is actually a spy among us! "Mo Yike narrowed his eyes.
"Are you sure?"
"This subject did not expect this at first, but this is the truth. That scheme was leaked, and the one who injured Lord Gao and Supreme Ao was definitely among the eight of us. Me, Chen Tianshan, Guqin, Kong Xuan, Shanghai Hen, Ao Shun, Montes, and Gao Xianzhi. There is definitely a spy among us! "Mo Yike said coldly.
Gu Hai tapped his fingers on the desk, his expression turning solemn.
"The Great Emperor Dynasty has a capable person!" Gu Hai said with a frown.
"Yes, it should be an expert. Haha, to be able to bribe one of the eight of us, he is not simple. Secondly, it was this subject who disrupted their plan. Otherwise, the chaos last night would have been even more turbulent. It is very likely that even this subject would not have been able to handle it!" Mo Yike said solemnly.
"Only you were informed of the exact time of my return through the guqin figurine. What did you say?" Gu Hai said solemnly.
"Your Majesty said that you would return in two days. If I had directly said that Your Majesty would return in two days, this group of spies would definitely lay low and wait for another opportunity. However, this subject did not want to let them wait and expose themselves sooner. Therefore, this subject said ten days! "Mo Yike said Solemnly.
"Ten days? Time is short, but it is barely enough to launch an opportunity! "Gu Hai said solemnly.
"Yes, the opportunity is fleeting. The experts of the Great Emperor Dynasty should know that once Your Majesty returns, it will be a hundred times, no, a thousand times more difficult to cause chaos in the Infinite Celestial Capital. Therefore, they are taking the risk! This subject is using this point to speed up the pace. After ten days, they will immediately expose themselves. Even if they have wave after wave of evidence, what can they do? As long as Your Majesty appears, all schemes and plots will have nowhere to hide! "Mo Yike said solemnly.
"Haha, the Great Emperor Dynasty? Looks like this Takeshi Ryūshin is not in charge? "Gu Hai suddenly narrowed his eyes.
"Yes, who could have guessed it beforehand? Even if Takeshi Ryūshin has gone to eight hundred thousand years ago, this Great Emperor Dynasty is still operating continuously! "Mo Yike sighed.
At the border between the Dahan Imperial Dynasty and the Great Emperor Dynasty, in a small courtyard.
A Great Emperor Dynasty official bowed respectfully to a group of Wanshou Taoism disciples. The leader of the group was none other than the Tongtian Sect Master.
"Is what you said true?" The Tongtian Sect Master's face turned cold.
"Yes, Sect Master. Just last night, Gu Hai returned to the Infinite Celestial Capital. The Lord asked me to pass on the message to you! "The official said respectfully.
"He returned last night, why are you only reporting now?" The Tongtian Sect Master said coldly.
"The Lord said that he wanted the people in the city to find out how many people Gu Hai returned with! That's why it was delayed! "The official said respectfully.
"Oh? How many people? "The Tongtian Sect Master said coldly.
"One. He came back alone, and he even ruined the Lord's plan!" The official said carefully.
"Just one person? Ha, he is finally willing to come back? "The Tongtian Sect Master sneered.
The official lowered his head and didn't say anything.
The Tongtian Sect Master looked coldly at the official. "Heh, that Lord of yours wants to borrow my hand to kill Gu Hai?"
"I wouldn't dare. I only have news to inform you, Sect Master!" The official immediately shook his head.
"Hmph, no need to pretend that you don't know anything. Also, tell your Lord not to be narrow-minded. With his cultivation, if he dares to scheme against me, I will find him and kill him even if he has to flee to the ends of the earth!" The Tongtian Sect Master said coldly.
"Yes, yes, yes! Then this one will take his leave! "The official retreated in fear.
"Master, Gu Hai has returned to the imperial court. What do we do now?" A middle-aged man asked respectfully.
"He's back? It's good that he's back. Come, follow me to take down Gu Hai. Hmph! "The Tongtian Sect Master snorted coldly.
Ever since Gu Hai escaped from Wanshou Taoism, he had caused him to make a fool of himself three times in a row. The first time was when he killed Xuandu, causing him to be slightly weaker than Xuandu, which was a great humiliation. The second time was when Jiang Rulai and Matriarch Ji attacked him at the same time in Shennong City. In the end, not only did he not obtain the Divine Path Sorcerer's Book, but he also caused a lot of trouble. The third time was when he was ordered to retreat by Chiyou above the East Sea.
Not to mention the passage to the Immortal Dome, just these matters were enough to make Gu Hai his mortal enemy.
"Yes!" The group of disciples answered.
"Follow me!" The Tongtian Sect Master snorted coldly.
With a wave of his sleeves, he led the ten disciples into the sky and rushed towards the Boundless Celestial Capital.
After the Tongtian Sect Master left, in a small pavilion not far away.
The official who went to report earlier quickly came to report.
"The Tongtian Sect Master has left, my lord!" The official said respectfully.
The pavilion was rather dark, and the appearance of the person inside could not be seen clearly.
"What a good Mo Yike. He actually planned a counterattack against me? Heh, as expected, nothing can be rushed. Those spies in the Boundless Celestial Capital are in trouble. Hmph! "The lord in the pavilion said coldly.
"Then what should we do?"
"Gu Hai is back. Those spies won't be able to cause much trouble. Time waits for no one. If only Gu Hai came back a few days later. Five days, only five days. What a pity, what a pity. Forget it, forget it!" The lord in the pavilion sighed softly.
"The Tongtian Sect Master is already on his way. Perhaps …!"
The pavilion was silent for a while. Then, the lord sighed and said, "The Tongtian Sect Master is involved. It's a pity for Gu Hai. It would be great if such a talent could be used by His Majesty. It's good that the Tongtian Sect Master is on his way. Even if Gu Hai's intellect is unparalleled, in the face of absolute power, he can only wait to be captured. This time, he has no helpers and no external forces to borrow! "
"Yes!"
