Puppet Worms and their mother worms shared a strange connection. In particular, when one of them died, the other's sensing would become especially intense.
Since he did not know whether the Golden Soul Talisman Poison simulating a Puppet Worm in Steward Si's head had some special connection with the person controlling it, Zhang Tie did not risk killing Steward Si and alerting the enemy. After weighing his options, he used a secret method to paralyze Steward Si, stripping him completely of any ability to resist, and left him alive.
In the bathing pool, Zhang Tie dragged the naked Steward Si out of the water.
Looking at the slightly plump body, Zhang Tie stripped off his own clothes as well, leaving himself completely naked. Then, his Illusory Body Divine Bloodline activated once more, and his entire body slowly began to change.
In only a short while, Zhang Tie changed from the devastatingly handsome "Tang De" into another completely naked Steward Si. Not only were their faces identical, even the thumb-sized birthmark on the inside of Steward Si's thigh was replicated perfectly. No one could tell them apart.
Zhang Tie had already completely emptied Steward Si's mind, including the man's dark, twisted, and violent experiences, as well as all his relationships and dealings with others in Azure Dragon Hall. Thus, having become Steward Si, Zhang Tie truly was Steward Si at this moment.
Having transformed into Steward Si, Zhang Tie looked at himself in the mirror by the pool. His Theater Mask Talent flared, and a signature smile appeared on his face—the kind Steward Si often wore before other divine generals, carrying three parts humility, yet seeming three parts cold and aloof to those beneath him. He muttered two lines to himself. "Brother Si, I'll leave the Yin-Yang Sect matter to you!"
