No Evidence Needed, Suspicion Is Enough to Kill You!

High-level hunters often appear as prey...

"Lord Xinghe... are you joking...? What do you mean? I really don't understand..."

At this moment, as Xu Wannian spoke, Chu Xinghe also laughed, "Lu Shu, your acting is very good, very good... Even at this point, you can still control your emotions. Even the change in your eyes just now can be explained by your surprise at first hearing, right?"

"But do you know that your biggest weakness isn't what I just mentioned... Your biggest weakness isn't what you've done, but rather that your choice of Xu Wannian as your target for possession from the very beginning became your biggest weakness!"

"Xu Wannian's identity is, in a sense, your biggest flaw! A flaw that cannot be concealed no matter what!"

"You think that by possessing Xu Wannian's body and becoming Yue Ling's master, it will be easier to harm Yue Ling, right? Even though Yue Ling survived all the attacks, it doesn't matter to you, because your Lu Shu is hidden inside Xu Wannian's body. Even if Yue Ling escapes all the pursuit, she definitely can't escape the final blow from you, her master, right?"

"When you found out about me and Ma Liang, you were shocked, but I bet you were more overjoyed than shocked!"

"Because you thought your plan was flawless, you thought everyone had gone to the Great Chang Kingdom to search for your remains... while you were able to kill Yue Ling silently right under everyone's noses."

"You even want to see how shocked and defeated I, Chu Xinghe, will be after I find out all this, right... The cunning Chu Xinghe was actually outmaneuvered by you right under your nose!"

"What a pity, what a pity..." Chu Xinghe shook his head and continued, "Unfortunately, you'll be disappointed... I knew back in the Great Liang Kingdom court that you, Xu Wannian, were the true Lu Shu!"

"Haven't you, Lu Shu, ever thought about this? Actually, your existence is the most illogical part of the whole situation... Wei Wuji controls the entire Great Liang Kingdom, and all the civil and military officials in the court are just Wei Wuji straight man. His words are absolute imperial edicts..."

"But in this situation, isn't it strange that you're still alive?"

"If you really are Xu Wannian, then no matter what you do, Wei Wuji would have sent you to your death long ago. With all the officials bowing their heads, your existence is the most illogical thing in the whole situation!"

"You dared to question Wei Wuji in the imperial court, yet you remain unscathed. Is that reasonable?"

Looking at Xu Wannian, who seemed a little confused, Chu Xinghe smiled broadly.

In fact, when Chu Xinghe first saw Xu Wannian, he felt something was wrong, but he only suspected it and did not believe that Xu Wannian was Lu Shu.

Because if you think about it carefully, all the powerful warriors Xu Wannian sent out to escort Yue Ling died...

In this situation, Xu Wannian is still alive and well in the capital. Is that right?

At first, Chu Xinghe thought that it was because the Great Liang Kingdom was now divided into two factions, one of which was Wei Wuji's side and the other was the royalist faction. So even if the royalist faction was not powerful enough to protect Yue Ling, it could at least barely protect itself.

But seeing Wei Wuji's extremely arrogant demeanor in the court, coupled with the subservient behavior of all the civil and military officials except Xu Wannian, Chu Xinghe understood that there was no such thing as a royalist faction at all!

If there were no royalists, tell me, wouldn't Xu Wannian's existence be somewhat bizarre?

The entire court is completely under Wei Wuji's control. Is Wei Wuji a lunatic? Why wouldn't he eliminate Xu Wannian, a pure royalist, instead of sending people to protect Yue Ling?

Wei Wuji's power had grown to such an extent that the first person to arrive after Yue Ling returned to the capital and sent a signal was Xu Wannian, while Wei Wuji didn't even show up once?

Chu Xinghe said, "If I were Wei Wuji, my men would be stationed at all the entrances and exits of the capital city without stopping. The first thing I would do upon Yue Ling's appearance would be to kill her without mercy and send Yue Ling on her way."

As a result, Wei Wuji's men never showed up, and Xu Wannian even brought Yue Ling all the way from the city gate back to the capital, and they even managed to hold a grand court assembly the next day!

Isn't there too many unbelievable aspects to this?

So at that moment, Chu Xinghe understood that there were only two possibilities for Xu Wannian to do all this: first, Xu Wannian had to be a Martial God!

If his military strength is high enough that no one dares to lay a hand on him, then all of this is not impossible.

However, Xu Wannian was only an Eighth Rank...

Then the path above is completely blocked!

That leaves only the second possibility... Xu Wannian is Lu Shu, the one manipulating everything behind the scenes!

Only Lu Shu, the manipulator behind it all, could make all the illogical explanations seem reasonable!

The entire Great Liang Kingdom court, including Wei Wuji, has been manipulated by his Power of Bewitchment. In this situation, the so-called Wei Wuji is actually just a puppet controlled by Lu Shu!

So how could a puppet dare to harm its master? How could a puppet dare to disobey its master's wishes?

Having figured all this out, Chu Xinghe not expose Lu Shu immediately, because he guessed that Lu Shu might have a way to split into two, with one part remaining in the Great Liang Kingdom and the other part pushing forward other plans in the Great Chang Kingdom.

If we capture Xu Wannian directly, the remnant of the Lu Shu from the Great Chang Kingdom will likely escape immediately. Even if we manage to capture him then, it will take a lot more effort.

So Chu Xinghe turned the tables on him. "Didn't you, Lu Shu, want to lure me to the Great Chang Kingdom to capture your remains, and then make me mistakenly believe that your remains are your true self?"

No problem, I'll do as you wish and head straight to the Great Chang Kingdom. Chu Xinghe even led everyone away to the Great Chang Kingdom, making Lu Shu believe that his plan had succeeded completely.

But Lu Shu never dreamed that although Chu Xinghe left, taking everyone with him, his Divinity had transformed into a starlight and remained hidden within the imperial city of the Great Liang Kingdom.

Chu Xinghe originally planned to appear and give Lu Shu a little surprise when Lu Shu was about to make a move against Yue Ling.

But to everyone's surprise, the mangled body of this Lu Shu was far too weak...

Or perhaps the Phantom Evil Lord's abilities were just too damn outstanding... The Phantom Evil Lord recognized him as a mangled body at a glance!

Logically, after being discovered, the Lu Shu creature's remains should have simply self-destructed...

Instead of exposing himself, he chose to do so!

Damn... this guy's still putting on airs over there...

It was as if everything was under his control; he kept saying that Chu Xinghe was no match for him, a master strategist!

Chu Xinghe was also angered by what was said...

I get backstabbed all the time and always mess up, do you think I, Chu Xinghe, am some kind of pushover?

Friend... have you ever thought that it's not that I, Chu Xinghe, am bad, but that the power of the Misfortune Compass is just too overpowered!

I can't out-calculate the Misfortune Compass, but I can't out-calculate you, Lu Shu!

Your plan, which you Lu Shu, think is foolproof, is actually full of loopholes in my eyes, Chu Xinghe!

You went to great lengths to eliminate Yue Ling, but if in the end everything boils down to that remnant of the Lu Shu -like creature from the Great Chang Kingdom, then wasn't Yue Ling's existence completely meaningless?

What was your purpose in going so far as to have someone kill Yue Ling?

So Yue Ling must have a huge influence on your Lu Shu plan, okay?

"Lord Xinghe... Lord Xinghe, these are just guesses..." Xu Wannian began, still trying to make a last-ditch effort!

"Really? Lu Shu, you Lu Shu... Do you think I'm having a debate with you here? It requires all sorts of proof and evidence. For a little thing like you, killing you doesn't need any evidence at all, just a guess is enough!"

"Who do you think you are? What are you anyway? Do I need to produce evidence and have the entire Four Continents witness it before I can kill you? I only need to have any suspicion about you and you're dead for sure."

Chu Xinghe spoke casually!

Just as Lu Shu was stunned, a voice came from afar. "It's not impossible to have evidence."

With that sound, a figure descended from the sky!

Upon seeing the figure, Chu Xinghe quickly bowed and said, "Xinghe greets Elder He... What brings you here?"

"Haha... Xinghe... We old guys were already here while you were dealing with Qin Xiangqian and Xu Wen!"

Elder He spoke, figures appeared out of thin air in the sky!

The Grand Elder... Elder Yu... Great Sage... even the Holy Lord Gu Mingchao descended slowly from the heavens with a cheerful expression.

With such a major incident involving the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce in the Great Liang Kingdom, Shen Chun must have immediately relayed the news to the Grand Elder.

To be honest, if it were anyone else, the Grand Elder would probably have come to deal with this immediately.

However, since Xinghe wanted to handle this matter personally, although the Grand Elder also brought the big shots of Vast Heaven Holy Land to the Great Liang Kingdom, the Grand Elder did not show up immediately. Instead, he wanted to see how Xinghe would handle everything.

When Xinghe found the Phantom Evil Lord and headed to the Great Chang Kingdom, to be honest Elder He was somewhat anxious at first!

What the heck? You're asking Elder He is in such a hurry?

Elder He said, "Because I knew at a glance that Xu Wannian was Lu Shu!"

Elder He declared, "Although I only possess half a Fate Divinity, you all need to understand that even half a Fate Divinity is still Divinity!"

Although I've been constantly tricked by the Fate Divinity in our Vast Heaven Holy Land, what exactly is Lu Shu?

Lao Tzu's Fate Divinity immediately saw that Xu Wannian's problem was that he was a hidden Lu Shu!

Although the Fate Divinity is subservient within the Vast Heaven Holy Land, once Fate Divinity leaves the Vast Heaven Holy Land, he is absolutely as formidable as our Holy Lord!

Therefore, from the very beginning, the bigwigs of Vast Heaven Holy Land had already been staying on the side of the Great Liang Kingdom.

Xu Wannian, also known as Lu Shu, who thought he had everything under control, had no idea that while he was thinking he had everything under control, a huge group of old monsters from the Vast Heaven Holy Land were staring intently at him from the heavens above!

However, Elder He did not expect was that Xinghe had already calculated that Xu Wannian was Lu Shu, and even left Xinghe Divinity in the Great Liang Kingdom!

Elder He explained that he was able to discover Lu Shu because Fate Divinity was cheating, but Xinghe was able to discover that Xu Wannian was Lu Shu entirely because of Xinghe He's flawless strategy!
