Chapter 4821: The Objective

"Gather all hands from the Secret Pavilion, blockade all major passages in Yan City. Fully search for this person."

A clone!

The one who came to negotiate with him was actually a clone of this envoy leader.

And he only realized this anomaly just now.

["You don't cooperate with us, but there are many, many others who want to cooperate with us."]

The envoy leader's words surfaced in Duan Yue's mind, and his face immediately changed.

A probe, a blatant probe.

Their purpose for this trip was to test him. If he was willing to cooperate, then they'd hit it off.

If not...

Judging by the envoy's implied meaning, they would likely seek out others for this cooperation.

A tiny grassland nation, delusionally attempting to shake a giant tree, aiming for the massive Divine Continent?

Just as the Heavens' Will forces were stirring, was this small Duo Luo Kingdom trying to profit from chaos? Or were they trying to rise swiftly by borrowing momentum?

Heaven is changing; are all the snakes, insects, rats, and ants planning to emerge from their holes collectively?

The look in Duan Yue's eyes was utterly cold. His fingers at his side tightened slightly, and he said coldly, "Go investigate. I want all information about this Duo Luo Kingdom from recent years, no matter how trivial. I need to know everything."

"Yes," Ying bowed respectfully and immediately led a few people out of the study.

"Ah!" A young servant, who was cleaning the floor, scurried back a few steps in fright.

Everyone turned their heads at the sound.

They saw Lili'er, who was lying on the ground, staring straight ahead, her mouth wide open, her face deathly pale.

All her limbs were grotesquely curled, her entire body twisted into a tubular shape, appearing extremely bizarre and unsettling.

Little Kezi glared fiercely at the startled servant. "Hurry and clean it up; don't let them stay here and be an eyesore."

The servant nodded frantically, closing his eyes, not daring to look at Lili'er. He slightly turned his face away and reached out a trembling hand to grab Lili'er's feet.

"Don't move," Duan Yue's pupils contracted, and he suddenly barked.

The servant instinctively pulled his hand back. The next second, he felt an irreversible immense force pull him away from Lili'er.

With a "thump," after the immense force vanished, the servant fell sprawling due to inertia.

He looked back and saw that the stiff Lili'er had actually moved.

After a series of teeth-grinding, crackling sounds, Lili'er's limbs twisted unnaturally, and she lay on the ground in an extremely bizarre posture.

"What is that thing?"

Little Kezi exclaimed, "Guard His Majesty, guard His Majesty! It's a corpse puppet! This woman has turned into a corpse puppet!"

"Bang!" The sound of a door being kicked open suddenly rang out.

The poor door panel of the study slammed to the ground, falling heavily onto Lili'er.

Wu Ruomei, who rushed in after hearing the commotion, held an Emei Piercer in each hand, her eyes wide. She loudly roared, "Who dares to assassinate His Majesty? Bold villain, come out here and face this old lady!"

Everyone: ...

"Where's the assassin?" Wu Ruomei stomped on the door panel, scolding angrily. "Where's the assassin?"

Little Kezi looked speechlessly at the unreliable Miss Wu of the Wu family. He extended a finger and weakly pointed towards Wu Ruomei's feet.

The latter looked down and saw a grotesque head squirming out from under the door panel she was stepping on, staring at her with fierce eyes.

Wu Ruomei cursed inwardly, "Holy crap!" Her calves trembled in fright, and she quickly hopped off the door panel.
