Is there another dangerous person in Liuzhou?

Inside the Liuzhou government office, the woman surnamed Shen frowned slightly as she looked at Shen San inside the room. She had already learned most of the information about Jiangnan through Wei Gongcheng's memories.

Within Jiangnan, although Chen Qing had only recently risen to power, his influence was considerable, and he had more powerful subordinates than even the Imperial Capital of the Central Plains.

Fighter Xu Hu is incredibly powerful, rumored to rival the Dragon King, and is the Number One figure in the military. In addition, Tian Heng, the leader of the West Sea Army, has greatly increased his strength after taking Princess Ao Zhen of the West Sea Dragon Palace under his command, and may even be stronger than Xu Hu.

Ziyue possesses mysterious strength and the Dragon Palace Inheritance. She created half of the protective formations in Jiangnan. She was once the head of the Ten Great Sorcerers of the Palace. Everyone in the academy believes that Lord Ziyue is the strongest person after the Lord.

That's not all. There are also a group of powerful figures such as Yuchi Feihong, Murong Yunji, and the Shen Family family. Their quality is so high that, as a King Level force, they are even comparable to Xiang Yu in his King Xiang.

However, given the current situation— Chen Qing is missing, Ziyue is caught in a scheme, 90% of the military force is held by foreign powers, and the Shen Family is under my control—theoretically speaking, there should be no threat left.

Unexpectedly, Shen San then said that there was another dangerous person in Liuzhou.

" Thousand-Faced Fox " Shen San didn't waste any time and directly stated the person's name.

"Oh?" The woman was taken aback for a moment, then immediately realized, "If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have completely forgotten about this person."

In the first version, the most troublesome demon was one that was never controlled in the past era. It seemed that the world deliberately avoided it from other demons. Once the Transcendent era arrived, the Thousand-Faced Fox disappeared and could not be found no matter what. However, whenever the spiritual energy dissipated, the Thousand-Faced Fox would stir up trouble among the human race again.

After a few attempts, previous players gave up on the idea of catching the Thousand-Faced Fox.

But what she knew was that in this era, the Thousand-Faced Fox had been replaced by the players!

She had even met him in this life, but his memories had been altered, and she had forgotten this experience. Now, as soon as Shen San mentioned it, she remembered it.

"This demon's abilities are too terrifying. Chen Qing has been keeping her under house arrest in Great Azure Mountain. Although her current strength is not a threat, her unique memory-altering ability is too troublesome. If she were to make a move..."

"What trouble?" the woman chuckled. "Beyond the Transcendent, whose memories can she alter?"

Thousand-Faced Fox possesses terrifying abilities, but has never broken through to the Transcendent. Her memories were altered before because she hadn't awakened them. Now that her past life memories have awakened, her strength is approaching the King Level. Even if Thousand-Faced Fox stood right in front of her, she wouldn't be able to use her abilities.

That was before.

"Has Chen Qing gone mad?" The woman was stunned for a moment, then her expression changed.

Such a monster, unless absolutely controlled, must never be allowed to grow in strength. Currently, the world has not yet entered the third stage, and the abundance of spiritual energy is not high. Even King Level life forms cannot withstand it. Transcendent life forms are the highest limit at present.

Once the opponent reaches the Transcendent, it means that no one in this world can resist her abilities!

"I also think he's gone mad," Shen San shook his head, his face grave. "That kind of monster is completely unusable. Killing it or permanently suppressing it is the best course of action!"

Where is she now?

Shen San pointed in the direction of Great Azure Mountain Great Azure Mountain: "They don't usually come out."

"She doesn't usually come out?" the woman asked incredulously. "Does that kind of monster think she can just come out whenever she wants? Didn't you just say she was being held under house arrest by Chen Qing? Wait... you mean verbally imprisoned?"

Shen San nodded with a wry smile.

"This is insane!" The woman stood up abruptly, suddenly not wanting to stay there for another second, especially after her memories returned.

Who knows what kind of changes they'll make to my memories when I meet them? That kind of weird stuff. They might say they're a prostitute, but the next second they might be working as the top courtesan in a brothel!

She usually doesn't come out.

"How do you know she won't come out?" The woman turned and glared at the other person. "You have no idea when she'll come out, you might not even know she's right in front of you. You have no idea what will happen if that monster breaks through its strength limitations!"

She was one of the designers, so she naturally knew how that monstrous thing used to torment players.

Once she breaks through the limits, the entire server will be wiped out. That Chen Qing guy is really crazy, he actually dared to let this thing break through to the Transcendent!

"There's a barrier around Great Azure Mountain. She needs the Mountain God's permission to come out, Great Azure Mountain God isn't inside. A Li can't come out alone." Shen San also found that thing troublesome, but he remained calm. After all, Great Azure Mountain's protection against that monster was quite thorough.

"What if someone cooperates?" the woman said coldly.

"You mean Second Brother?" Shen San frowned, then shook his head. "He went to the Underworld. Now all the City God have been sealed off by me. I can sense him as soon as he comes out, so he can't contact the outside world."

"Are you sure?"

Shen San nodded. "It should be."

"I don't want to hear 'should'," the woman said, turning back to look at her coldly. "I want to hear 'definite'!"

"I..." Shen San hesitated. Shen Er was a man who valued family ties, but he was also a man of complex thoughts. He was certain that Shen Er would not betray his brothers, but he was unsure whether Shen Er would do something behind their backs.

What if Shen Er secretly left some kind of trap in Liuzhou?

"Grown ups!"

Just as I was hesitating, I heard hurried sounds from outside.

Shen San's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly went outside. When he saw who it was, his expression changed instantly, and his unease intensified!

The person who arrived was none other than the Night Wandering God whom I had just sent to gather intelligence on Great Azure Mountain!

"What's going on?" Shen San asked hurriedly.

"A barrier!" the Night Wandering God exclaimed hastily. "The barrier around Great Azure Mountain has been shut down!"

"Who turned it off? Where is the Mountain God of Great Azure Mountain?"

"I... I don't know. I only saw from afar that the barrier had been closed, so I rushed back to report to you, sir."

Upon hearing this, Shen San was about to ask another question when suddenly half of the Night Wandering God's body exploded, its spirit body being blown away in half, standing upright in front of him like dust being blown away by the wind.

Shen San turned around stiffly, only to see that the mysterious woman had blindfolded herself at some point. "What are you doing?"

"From this moment on," the woman said coldly as she walked forward, "You can trust no one!"

--

It's getting dark.

On the outskirts of Great Azure Mountain, Wei Gongzhan looked at the sky, his brows furrowed. "That Night Wandering God has been gone for a long time."

"Let's go." A Li stood up and said coldly, "I'm not coming!"

The Mountain God's barrier was dispelled immediately by Wei Gongzhan's cooperation in luring the Mountain God god in. The Night Wandering God who was responsible for gathering intelligence was naturally captured by them in the first instance.

The original plan was to use it to go back and report intelligence, and to lure Thirteen over to investigate, but it seems the other side is more wary than expected.

"Senior," Wei Gongzhan frowned, "Why alert them? Why not just erase the Night Wandering God's memories and say the barrier wasn't opened?"

"He won't believe it either," A Li laughed. "Those boys from the Shen Family, although I haven't met them many times, Ziyue said they're very smart. Since they're smart, they won't easily believe one-sided stories. So no matter what Night Wandering God says when he gets back, he won't believe it. As long as he sends people to investigate, we won't be able to get close to them easily."

"So what do we do now?"

"Learn something from me, kid," A Li said with a half-smile. "Controlling people's hearts requires skill!"

I haven't schemed against anyone in a long time.
