Gu Qing Shan's inner sight scanned the golden scepter.
The place where the scepter and the Emperor's head met was smooth and clean, clearly cut off by someone using a sharp weapon.
— — who would give up the entire golden scepter just to take a dead man's head?
Gu Qing Shan's uneasy feeling became heavier and heavier.
Even with a Combatant of the Emperor's caliber, the palace's defenses are still very strong.
Only a top-level Combatant would be able to sneak into the palace.
He still needs to familiarize himself with the palace's defenses, avoid the powerful Emperor, and know where Empress's belongings are stored.
Among all the Combatants in the world, who would spend so much effort just to steal the Fuxi Empire's founding Emperor's head?
Gu Qing Shan sighed.
This matter has already gotten away from the conflict between the Emperor and Empress.
He's decided to get involved.
"Your Highness, the Emperor is currently summoning his subordinates for a meeting, please bring the crown to the Emperor and place it on his table" Gu Qing Shan said.
"I understand, I'll go right away"
Empress was a bit confused, but still replied.
She held the crown with both hands and walked out the door.
"Guards" Empress ordered.
The two palace guards made a hand gesture.
Eighteen palace guards appeared in the surroundings without a sound.
A total of 20 guards followed Empress to the Emperor's room.
The conference room.
The Fuxi Emperor was standing in the middle, talking to his subordinates.
The door opened.
Empress walked in, holding the crown.
"What are you doing?" the Fuxi Emperor squinted his eyes and asked.
Empress smiled and told him: "I'm afraid you've forgotten, you'll be meeting the Holy Empire and Federation's VIPs tomorrow, remember to wear this"
The Emperor also smiled and replied: "You're too considerate"
Empress put the crown on the table behind the Emperor and said: "Then I'll go play cards"
"Go ahead"
Empress bowed and gracefully left the conference room.
The Emperor stared at her back, a bit lost in thought.
"Where were we just now?" he asked.
"Your Majesty, we were just talking about having the ministers come to the temporary imperial residence for an audience," an elderly minister said.
"Yes, hmm, have everyone come, I need to summon them," the Emperor said.
The crown lay quietly on the table behind him, side by side with a seal.
Time passed slowly.
Deep into the night.
The Emperor finally finished speaking.
The ministers took their leave.
The door to the meeting hall was closed.
The Emperor stood there alone, quietly thinking about the matter in his heart.
On the table behind him, Gu Qing Shan's Divine Telekinesis lightly brushed past.
The next moment, one of the seals suddenly disappeared.
Gu Qing Shan appeared where the seal originally was.
Divine Skill, Shadow Shift.
"You can exchange positions with any being within the range of your Divine Sense."
Gu Qing Shan stood on the table.
He held out his hand.
The crown floated up and landed in his hand.
His other hand reached into the void of space and grabbed the Earth sword.
Gu Qing Shan held the crown in one hand and the sword in the other, silently standing on the table.
He didn't make any sound, only silently staring at the Emperor's back.
One breath.
Two breaths.
Three breaths.
The Emperor didn't react at all.
Gu Qing Shan's expression changed a bit.
Even though I've concealed my presence, the Emperor shouldn't be acting like this.
The Emperor exudes the pressure of a 5th stage Professionist, yet he didn't notice my arrival at all.
An expert should always be aware of the movements in his surroundings.
This is the most basic of precautions.
— — -but the Emperor is acting like a person without any battle experience at all.
Gu Qing Shan noticed something and recalled something that happened before.
Sea Emperor Li Dong Yuan was sent flying with a single strike.
The Sea Emperor is a Navy Admiral of the Federation, completely unrelated to the Fuxi Emperor.
But between the two of them, one couldn't even tell if the attack was real or fake, while the other didn't even know he was behind his back.
What exactly happened?
This has nothing to do with any of the Apocalypse's disasters.
There are no disasters that can turn a person like this.
As Gu Qing Shan stared at the Emperor, he felt an invisible shadow in his heart that he couldn't get rid of.
Even in both of his lives, he's never experienced anything like this before.
In the past life, most of his focus was on the cultivation world. After all, he entered the world half a year later than everyone else, if he didn't put his life on the line, he wouldn't have been able to catch up.
Later on, when he led the country's Guild to war, it was also as a commander. Every day, he was busy leading troops into battle, although he had some contact with the top political figures of various countries, he didn't go too deep.
But humanity's top officials never had any problems.
Even the Frost Calamity didn't have such an effect on humanity's top officials.
After all, when the Frost Calamity appeared, it was already the last few days of the Apocalypse.
And in this life, who exactly is the one controlling everything?
All of a sudden, Gu Qing Shan's Communicator vibrated.
The Emperor's body slightly moved.
No matter how careless he was, he was still a powerful 5th stage Professionist, so he was able to sense something.
But it was too late.
Gu Qing Shan disappeared from the table and reappeared behind the Emperor.
[Ground Shrink].
Gu Qing Shan lightly knocked the Earth Sword against the ground.
The Earth Sword's grasp of propriety is truly miraculous.
The Emperor fell to the ground and fell unconscious.
Gu Qing Shan took out his Communicator.
"What is it?" he asked.
"Tang Jun! It's about Tang Jun! I feel like his death isn't just murder anymore, I have to tell you "Liao Xing breathed heavily.
"Go ahead" Gu Qing Shan said.
"Tang Jun had always been providing the President with cloned bodies to help him fend off all sorts of assassination attempts, but he was once kidnapped by the Fuxi Empire!"
Gu Qing Shan's heart jumped.
So that's why!
No wonder the President was able to survive so many assassination attempts without dying.
The one who died in his place was a clone!
So the President had always been using this method to fend off the 9 Lords' attacks.
"What are the characteristics of the cloned bodies?" Gu Qing Shan quickly asked.
"Memory! The hardest part of human cloning is memory, the clone's memory will definitely have problems! "Liao Xing replied.
Without hesitation, Gu Qing Shan put her hand on the Emperor's head.
Soul Reading!
After a while, Gu Qing Shan pulled her hand back.
He stood rooted to the ground, not even reacting when the Empress pushed the door open.
Empress looked at the unconscious Emperor in surprise.
"So easily?" Empress asked.
Gu Qing Shan nodded: "Take a closer look at his face, see if he's the Emperor or not"
Empress crouched down and carefully looked at him for a bit.
Empress whispered: "He really does look like him, but I don't think he's the real him"
Gu Qing Shan understood.
Just now when he used Soul Reading, he found that the Emperor's memory was extremely fragile, as soon as he used the technique, his memory immediately collapsed.
Soul Reading is a risky technique, it's very easy to make someone lose their mind or become a living dead.
In other words, after using Soul Reading, the Emperor became an idiot.
Gu Qing Shan also didn't find any valuable information.
As Empress carefully looked at the Emperor, a green light suddenly appeared on her hand.
She's a lady of the Medici clan, a Wood Elemental herself.
She lightly put her hand on the Emperor's forehead.
"Brain death, incurable" Empress said.
The two of them went silent.
One of the most powerful Professionists in the world, the ruler of the Fuxi Empire, died just like that.
He died just like that, in the meeting room.
"There's something wrong with the Emperor's memory" Gu Qing Shan said.
"Now that you mention it, I also remember, he's been a bit forgetful these past few days" Empress said.
"Have you seen a doctor?"
The answer was obvious, but Gu Qing Shan still asked.
"I have, the doctor said there's nothing wrong with him" Empress answered.
"Perhaps it's a genetic problem?"
"Fuxi is a complete blank when it comes to genetic technology, the most knowledgeable person is your Federation's Professor Tang Jun"
"Tang Jun huh"
Gu Qing Shan sighed, already knowing the answer.
Which means, the Fuxi Emperor used a clone.
