"This..."
Luo Jun looked at Ailongtan. "What did you do?"
"I didn't do anything..." Ailongtan waved his hands in panic. "Master, I swear to heaven, I only lifted the petrification. I didn't do anything else..."
"Even if you had, there's no way you could have instantly killed someone at the Peak Apex, on the verge of Feather Transformation!" Luo Jun frowned, ruling out Ailongtan...
Besides, judging by the way Amberti had dissipated, it didn't look like he had been killed. It looked more like... a summoned creature vanishing!
That was it—a summoned creature!
Luo Jun immediately realized that Amberti had not been a real person, but a summoned creature!
But this summoned creature knew about the theft of the Kiss of the Goddess of Life and had practically admitted to being Wu Kong... That confirmed it. This guy was Wu Kong's summoned creature!
When had it begun? Had he sensed danger and arranged for a summoned creature to deal with Luo Jun and the Ice Queen? Or had the identity of Amberti been played by a summoned creature from the very beginning?
Either way, he and the Ice Queen had clearly been played. So where was the real Wu Kong?
The Teleportation Gate on the Fiftieth Floor!
Luo Jun's eyes suddenly widened as he grasped the connection.
Wu Kong had deliberately let a summoned creature be exposed. His goal was to make me think I'd caught the murderer, so I could safely clear the Fiftieth Floor! Once I finished clearing it and opened the Teleportation Gate, he'd be able to escape the [Game] world too!
Damn it, I got played!
Luo Jun clenched his teeth. Wu Kong had surely already left the [Game] world with the Kiss of the Life Goddess! He might even have reunited with those younger siblings
