Chapter 1889: The failed golden cicada escapes the shell
The erysipelas caused by the son-mother-linked heart poison had already broken out once, and Wang Dong finally managed to survive it.
This outbreak of erysipelas had a great negative impact on him, causing him to fail in his attempt to become a grand master.
But if you look at it from another perspective, Wang Dong has almost eliminated many hidden toxins accumulated in his body.
Although latent toxins are not completely equivalent to drug resistance, they are inextricably related to drug resistance.
Many of the elixirs he had taken previously that were ineffective can be taken again.
If we start from this perspective, surviving a catastrophe may not be all bad.
Because of this, it was impossible for Wang Dong to suffer a second outbreak of son-mother poison, which could lead to death.
The other party had been dead for more than two months, and his body contained many decayed parts. The inspection department personnel concluded that the cause of death was an overdose of drugs.
Xu Zhi didn't think too much about it at the time.
It wasn't until Song Zhongkai became suspicious and Situ Xuankong made a test that he suddenly realized.
If there was no erysipelas that caused the second heart-to-child poison, Wang Dong would not have had the meridians throughout his body shrink.
"This person is not Wang Dong," Xu Zhi gritted his teeth and said.
"If it's not Wang Dong, who is the person who died here?"
Song Zhongkai's expression changed. He looked suspicious and looked at the people around him.
"If it's not Wang Dong, then where did Wang Dong go?" Situ Xuankong also asked.
"There are only so many grandmasters in the country, check!"
Li Daitao was so stunned that almost everyone was deceived in front of everyone.
Xu Zhi looked at the corpse in front of him and felt a chill in his heart.
If he came to inspect again at night, or if Wang Linkai smelled the rotten smell from the small supply transmission hole, he would discover the body in the secret room.
Everything will be covered up without leaving any trace.
When the body collapses, the meridians disappear, and the corpse turns into a pile of bones, it is difficult to verify and everything will be covered up.
Everyone will think that Wang Dong died in seclusion, and no one will be suspicious, but the real Wang Dong has hidden behind the scenes.
Starting from the master stage, the bodies of cultivators are quite different from those of ordinary people.
The structure and bones of the body cannot be faked. If he wanted to replace himself, Wang Dong could only find someone of the same level to replace him.
Lying in front of you is the body of a master.
Judging from the formation of meridians, the opponent is weaker than Wang Dong, but not by much.
Too many eyes are focused on Wang Dong, who has such high demands.
And some people don't have this requirement.
"Situ Zhongfu has retrieved all the records of those who died in seclusion, disappeared, died unexpectedly, and even lost their bodies in the past hundred years."
Seeing Wang Dong's escape, Xu Zhi thought of a more serious problem.
"That's unreasonable!"
Song Zhongkai had obviously figured it out, and he slapped the wheelchair hard.
"There is no need to worry. Even if someone cheats death and escapes, the number of people hiding will not exceed ten people." Situ Xuankong said solemnly: "Unless you are trapped in the ruins, it is not that easy for the Grandmaster to die."
As one of the longest-lived great cultivators, Situ Xuankong knew Dongyue very well for more than a hundred years.
While he was contemplating, he quickly targeted some people.
"Headquarters, we have sent urgent encrypted messages to the masters of each province and received confirmation feedback."
"All the Grandmasters...are still alive."
"The feedback results do not include the Grandmaster who defected three years ago."
Situ Xin quickly mobilized records and continued to send feedback.
His target eventually settled on the five masters who were still absconding.
Three years ago, a large-scale inspection of the Kujiao finally identified sixteen masters, seven of whom defected abroad, and two more were deported to the country of Ying.
Dongyue still has five masters living outside.
This includes Zang Suxin and others.
Excluding female masters, the number of people is further narrowed.
"If it's not Wang Dong, it must be Li Guanlan. His body shape and age are similar to Wang Dong's. They only differ in appearance." Lin Ruien stepped forward and said, "Li Guanlan disappeared after his defection. Now I think he relied on Wang Dong."
Cover, always hiding under our noses."
"Li Guanlan, who used to be the thirty-seventh grandmaster in the ranking, is quite skillful. He must have made preparations several years ago, thinking about how to escape from the golden cicada's shell."
Song Zhongkai snorted coldly and understood why the corpse was beyond recognition.
There are many things that no longer need to be explained in detail.
The anger in his heart was burning like a pot of fire.
He would rather this was Wang Dong's corpse, or Wang Dong would die in seclusion.
It is really difficult for him to accept that the position of auxiliary state in a country means hard work in governing.
They originally thought that Kujiao only subverted Dongyue and did not have any idea of governing and pacifying the country, but in the past few decades, Kujiao has actually been in power.
The country in the past seemed to be struggling a little bit, but...
Song Zhongkai just thought about it, his hands and feet felt cold for a moment, and he thought about the situation a few years ago.
At that time, Dongyue was hated by all the countries and was restrained in its actions. There was Northern Xinjiang fighting against the Northwest Army, Ying State fighting against the Fourth Army, and even the Southern Yunnan Army in Xinghuang Fortress was entangled with Nan'ao.
If I hadn't borrowed a few opportunities, I would have opened up the situation just right.
Having united Northern Xinjiang in the north and coexisting peacefully with Ying in the west, Dongyue today cannot relax at all, let alone move forward.
Once the intensifying disaster and conflict broke out in South Australia, Song Zhongkai could not imagine the scene he would face.
They have no choice but to fight to the death.
The other party will definitely take advantage of the power of the Three Kingdoms to kill them. At that time, they will only need to cede territory and shrink the country. It may not be impossible to perfectly replace the Song family royal family.
When the situation became clearer, Song Zhongkai saw it more clearly.
"Check" Song Zhongkai said angrily: "Check it hard. Since these people want to rebel regardless of the safety of their families, young and old, if we find out, they will implicate the nine clans!"
In the past, he used the Inspection Department to say these words, but now he said it himself.
Wang Dong's rebellion obviously pierced a thorn in his heart.
How did Wang Dong replace Li Guanlan?
How did he escape?
Where did he flee to?
Many questions continue.
"Calling out all the nearby surveillance cameras to see if we can find any traces," Xu Zhi said.
It is difficult for surveillance cameras to capture the figure of a master flying quickly, but Wang Dong could not have been flying when he did these things. Xu Zhi hoped to find some relevant clues.
"Check the people who have come in and out of the former auxiliary's residence in the past few months and detect any suspicious persons."
…
Orders were issued one after another by Xu Zhi.
He gave orders without being hasty or impatient, and seemed extremely calm, which actually made Song Zhongkai feel a lot more comfortable.
"Xiao Xu Zhi, you seem to be in a bad mood?"
When all the sounds stopped, Situ Xuankong noticed the faint red light in Xu Zhi's eyes.
Xu Zhi's state also seemed a little strange.
"Just think that I drank some strong alcohol and became emboldened, so I came here."
The resentment of the Black Dragon King Orang Marassa is still in effect, but it is under the control of Xu Zhi. If it cannot be ended, Xu Zhi will directly give up control and let the resentment disturb his sea of consciousness.
His behavior is no different from Huo Yingshan.
With Dongyue's current cultivation system, no matter how hard you check, he is suffering from madness.
It’s not surprising to do something extraordinary when you are sick.
On the surface, he does not have as many achievements as Zhao Mu. Once he encounters a counterattack from the Ku Cult, he can only escape safely by going crazy.
This method was ultimately useless.
Hearing Situ Xuankong's voice, Xu Zhi's mind sank, and the black dragon in the sea of consciousness roared. The filth caused by Olang Marassa's resentment began to melt like ice and snow.
"The Headquarters of the Inspection Department actually needs to drink to be brave enough to continue the investigation."
Song Zhongkai grasped his long sword tightly, feeling increasingly that the Inspection Department was powerless when verifying the matter.
At the end of the investigation, the inspection department found it difficult to move forward, and every step was a gamble.
