The Emperor was still lying on the ground, unmoving.
The conference room was brightly lit, completely silent.
The Empress looked a little dazed, but she was mostly angry.
Gu Qing Shan stood on one side, thinking about what happened recently.
He suddenly remembered a certain person.
The Federation's Sea Emperor Li Dong Yuan. Just like the Fuxi Emperor, he couldn't even block a single strike from me.
Even with the most advanced cloning technology to perfectly replicate a human's power, there's still a flaw.
And that flaw is memory.
Once a Professionist's memory has a problem, then the Professionist's understanding of their power, as well as their experience from countless battles, will all be messed up.
As a Professionist, having great power but not knowing how to control it will cause a lot of flaws in battle.
Sometimes, a tiny flaw can decide life and death.
"Sea Emperor …" Gu Qing Shan muttered.
The Fuxi Emperor's scheme has already reached the upper echelons of the Federation.
What exactly is he trying to do?
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit, then decided to take precautions first.
"Impartial Goddess, contact the Martial Saint, tell him that according to your judgement, the President might be in danger, tell him to be careful" Gu Qing Shan said.
[Understood, sir] Impartial Goddess replied.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Suddenly, a sound came from the conference room.
Someone was knocking on the door.
Gu Qing Shan and Empress exchanged glances.
"What is it?" Empress raised her voice and asked.
"The Old Minister has something to report" the person outside said.
"I have something to discuss with His Majesty, you can leave first, we'll discuss it tomorrow" Empress said.
"Yes"
The sound disappeared.
But there were no footsteps.
The person outside stood still.
They didn't leave.
Empress's expression changed a bit, couldn't help but take a step back.
Gu Qing Shan released her inner sight to observe.
Only to see two officials standing outside, exchanging glances.
Powerful energy waves came from their bodies.
"Two 5th stage Professionists!"
Empress sensed the commotion outside and muttered.
She turned to look at Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan nodded, proving her judgment.
A 5th stage profession was already a rare sight in the world.
How could two fifth-phase experts suddenly pop out?
"Go open the door."
Gu Qing Shan lowered the Earth Sword and said.
Empress hesitated for a moment before opening the door.
Two familiar faces appeared in front of her.
Both of them were Old Ministers of the Empire who had never cultivated their entire lives.
But now, they seemed to be filled with the Power of the Five Elements and had become powerful professionals.
The two Old Ministers were also stunned.
He didn't expect the other party to actually dare to open the door.
Was there really no problem?
Gu Qing Shan suddenly disappeared.
He appeared behind an Old Minister and lightly tapped the latter's neck with his sword.
The man fell to the ground, unconscious.
The other old official immediately reacted and stretched out his hand to make a move.
However, the sword flashed and appeared in front of him.
What a fast sword!
The Old Minister exerted his power, manifesting a layer of yellow light in front of his body.
Bam!
The sword suddenly flipped over, and the body of the sword struck his arms that were blocking the attack.
— — -how strange, why was it such an insignificant strike?
While the Old Minister was thinking that, he felt a sharp pain coming from the back of his neck.
His vision darkened as he fell to the ground.
Secret Art, [Swallow Returns]
When the sword strikes, there will be a similar attack coming from the back of the enemy.
Gu Qing Shan sheathed her sword, carried the two of them into the conference room.
Empress quickly closed the door.
"Can you confirm their identities?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"They're all trusted aides of the Emperor, but they're definitely not their original selves" Empress replied.
She looked at Gu Qing Shan and explained: "They've always been normal people"
"Then there's nothing to worry about" Gu Qing Shan nodded.
He placed his hand on one of them's forehead.
Soul Reading.
That person's head exploded.
Soul Reading failed!
Gu Qing Shan then placed his hand on another person's forehead.
But just like the Emperor, this person's brain immediately died.
"They're all clones" Gu Qing Shan muttered.
But this time, he finally obtained some blurred images.
Within a mass of white fog, the Fuxi Emperor was holding a golden head, walking forward.
That was the head of the founding Fuxi Emperor.
"All of you will temporarily help me manage the country" the Fuxi Emperor said.
Another voice asked: "What if we're exposed?"
The Fuxi Emperor answered without turning around: "Stall for as much time as possible, it doesn't matter even if we're exposed, I've already arranged everything, everything is about to come"
"In the face of an irresistible power, the fate of humanity has already been decided"
His voice seemed to carry a bit of sorrow, but also excitement and excitement.
The Emperor walked into the mass of white fog and slowly disappeared.
The images disappeared.
Gu Qing Shan silently nodded.
Although he had only obtained a small piece of information, he had already guessed most of the ins and outs of the entire matter.
Who else knows about this?
The palace guards should also be checked.
"I'm going to clean up this place, call two guards in" Gu Qing Shan said.
"Got it"
Empress also knew that the situation was strange and quickly replied.
She went out for a bit, then returned with two guards in a few moments.
Her sword flashed.
The two guards were knocked unconscious.
Gu Qing Shan sensed them and found that they were only 3rd stage Professionists.
He used Soul Reading again.
This time, he successfully obtained their memories.
"These two guards are fine" Gu Qing Shan said, "but the Emperor and the two officials' memories are very fragile and unstable"
"Do you think the Emperor is still alive?" Empress asked.
"That's right, the real His Majesty might have gone to do something else" Gu Qing Shan reminded him.
They were still husband and wife, so Gu Qing Shan wasn't sure what Empress's attitude towards this would be.
Empress coldly spoke: "Those two just now held killing intent towards me, did you know that?"
As a Professionist, she had a good understanding of this.
Gu Qing Shan hesitantly nodded.
Empress wiped her tears and spoke without changing her expression: "If that's what he planned, then the last bit of affection I have with him should also be severed"
"A wise decision, we're leaving this place right now" Gu Qing Shan said.
Empress was a bit surprised, then realized.
— — who knows how many accomplices these people have?
They were able to casually release two 5th stage Combatants, who knows how strong they really are.
As the two of them were about to leave, a sound came.
Bam!
Bam!
Bam!
There was another knock on the door.
"What is it?" Empress asked.
"We have something to report" the person outside said.
From the sound of it, there seemed to be four people.
"I have something to discuss with His Majesty, you can leave first, we'll discuss it tomorrow" Empress said.
"Yes"
The sound disappeared.
There were no footsteps.
The people outside the door were still standing there, not leaving.
Gu Qing Shan released her inner sight to sense them, only to find that they were four 5th stage Professionists.
Empress looked at Gu Qing Shan and hurriedly asked: "What do we do now?"
Gu Qing Shan replied: "I probably won't be able to hold back"
— — -if I want to knock them out again, it won't be easy.
Four 5th stage Professionists, even if they don't have any fighting experience, they still have a lot of destructive power.
But this battle can't be done without alerting others.
If more enemies are alerted, the situation will quickly worsen.
So I can only not hold back and finish this as soon as possible.
Empress said: "Just kill them"
"Got it"
Gu Qing Shan changed his War God title to [Ace Hitman].
He gestured to Empress.
Empress laughed and loudly said: "You still haven't left? His Majesty wants you to come in and talk, then scram "
When the four people outside heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other.
Are they fine?
"Open the door" one of them whispered.
Another went to open the door.
At the same time.
Gu Qing Shan disappeared again.
The black sword phantom bloomed like a blossoming flower, exploding in the middle of the four people.
Three of them were instantly killed.
"You — –" one of them managed to dodge, shouting as he retreated.
As the pale blue sword phantom flashed, his voice also disappeared.
The huge amount of sword qi circled around, turned into a rushing wind, and scattered along the corridor.
Blood was blown away by the wind, splashing all over the walls and the corridor, turning the luxurious palace corridor into a blood-red passage.
Severed limbs were scattered all over the ground.
Gu Qing Shan appeared.
He swung the Earth sword, casually swinging it to get rid of the blood on the blade.
[You've killed your opponent in one strike, your spirit energy has been returned]
[You've killed your opponent in one strike, your spirit energy has been returned]
[You've killed your opponent in one strike, your spirit energy has been returned]
Gu Qing Shan's spirit energy was once again replenished.
With a light tap of his foot, Gu Qing Shan returned to the conference room.
Empress looked at the scene outside, stunned for a while.
She suddenly asked: "How could a person like you be unknown?"
"I'm a famous scientist" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Empress sighed and asked: "Are we just going to keep waiting like this?"
"Of course not, that's too passive" Gu Qing Shan replied.
He thought for a bit, then asked: "The last time His Majesty went hunting alone, where was it?"
"Barren Cloud Valley" Empress replied.
Gu Qing Shan's heart sank.
So that's it.
The end of the world is about to begin.
"I have to go there right away" Gu Qing Shan said.
"Then what about me? And my daughter, what are we going to do if you leave? "Empress hurriedly asked.
"I'm going to find a reliable friend to protect you, of course, if you're willing to pay a bit of compensation, my friend will do his best"
"What kind of compensation?" Empress clenched her fist and asked.
"Money" Gu Qing Shan spat out a single word.
Empress sighed in relief.
For the Fuxi royal family, the most worthless thing is money.
"Deal" she said.
"I need your permission to fly to the palace" Gu Qing Shan said.
"As long as they have my electronic invitation, they won't be stopped" Empress said.
"Time is of the essence, I need you to open the no-fly zone and let them land directly in front of the palace"
"That requires the highest authority, once I use it, the entire palace's defense system will know"
"Just use it later, I'll call my partner" Gu Qing Shan said.
He took out his Holo-Brain and contacted Jang Young-ho.
"What is it?" Jang Young-ho asked.
"We have business" Gu Qing Shan said.
"What business?"
"Protecting a very important person"
"Big bro, this is a hitman's guild, not a security company" Jang Young-ho helplessly said.
"Then I have another business I want to introduce to you" Gu Qing Shan said.
"Speak"
"Kill everyone who gets close to the target."
