Chapter 1146: Hiding Head and Showing Tail

~8 min read 1,466 words

"The world doesn't believe me, it doesn't matter. However, Zhou Mobai and Eunuch Wei will definitely believe me. Think about it, being targeted by two Grandmasters at the same time. Even if your martial arts cultivation is heaven-reaching, don't even think about escaping the pursuit of two Grandmasters. Why don't we make a deal: you tell me the entrance and exit of the underground palace, and tell me the taboos inside. I will naturally keep my mouth shut and never mention this matter again in this life."

The other party looked like he was sincerely thinking for Chen Guanlou.

Chen Guanlou only wanted to laugh after watching.

"You seem to have forgotten my profession. I am a Jiang Jiang Yucheng; what I see most often is people swearing oaths, and what I do most often is various forms of deals. You guess, will I believe you?"

The other party obviously didn't expect this reaction, "Are you not afraid of the pursuit of two Grandmasters?"

"I'm afraid! I'm so afraid!" Chen Guanlou sneered repeatedly, "You can go tell them; see if I will frown even a little. You say I killed Master Liaochen—do you have evidence? Empty words, I can also say you killed Master Liaochen."

"Nonsense. How could I have killed Master Liaochen."

"The same words returned to you. A bunch of nonsense, should be killed!"

Chen Guanlou's face showed mockery.

He truly didn't believe that the other party would have his murder evidence in hand.

It must be bluffing!

Bluffing people, who wouldn't! The thing the Heavenly Prison was best at was bluffing! Extortion, blackmail! All kinds of packages were available. This person bluffed him—hehe, purely playing with a big sword in front of Guan Gong, overestimating himself.

"Fine! Even if you aren't afraid of the pursuit of two Grandmasters. I ask you, what conditions do you want before you are willing to tell the entrance and exit of the underground palace."

"No comment!" Chen Guanlou refused sternly.

He showed mockery and explained patiently, "I don't know where you heard the rumors that are similar but not the same. First, after the underground palace was opened, the layout inside all changed. That is to say, the experience of our batch of people who successfully walked out of the underground palace alive is already invalid.

Secondly, the change in layout means the entrances and exits of the underground palace have all changed. You want to take a shortcut—impossible. That is immortal means, not something we ordinary mortals can crack.

Finally, hiding your head and showing your tail—it must not be anything good. I am a person who does things openly and honestly. If you want to fish for information from me, at least show your true face and take out some sincerity."

"I am Xiao Changsheng; why don't you believe me."

"Only ghosts believe you."

As soon as the words fell, the blade wind arrived.

Although the other party used his understanding of the formation to escape repeatedly, Chen Guanlou wouldn't give up.

He forced the other party to make a move time and time again, just to take this opportunity to understand the operation of the formation.

He wanted to see who exactly the person hiding his head and showing his tail was!

After a few years, suddenly thinking of the underground palace, there must be shady business.

"Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, why are you so aggressive?"

"For a rat in the gutter, if I didn't see it, that's fine. Since I saw it, I must beat it to death! Wearing Xiao Changsheng's face and stirring up trouble in the Heavenly Prison. As the Jiang Jiang Yucheng of the Heavenly Prison, I must settle this account with you."

"Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen is unreasonable. I said, I am Xiao Changsheng. From beginning to end, the person sitting in prison is me."

"Fart! You can even make up such nonsense; do you think I believe it? I don't have the word 'fool' written on my face." Chen Guanlou's anger rose.

He was a dignified Ninth-Rank warrior, who could smoothly step into the Grandmaster realm at any time, yet the other party didn't put him in his eyes.

So angry!

If he didn't give the other party some color, they would treat him as a sick cat.

"Since Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen refuses to cooperate no matter what, don't blame me for being impolite!"

"Whatever means you have, just use them. I want to see how you are impolite to me."

Before the words fell, the originally calm Chaos Stone Mountain suddenly had flying sand and rocks, blocking the sky and the sun.

When Chen Guanlou saw through the illusion and killed his way out, where was the other party's shadow?

Damn!

The so-called impoliteness was just running for his life. He really knew how to make up for himself!

Shameless!

Chen Guanlou was a bit furious. After making such a fuss, he didn't even figure out the other party's true identity—preposterous. The key was that this person could pass several moves under his hands without being defeated; to say nothing else, the cultivation level was at least the Half-Step Grandmaster realm.

Perhaps like him, he only needed one breath to smoothly step into the Grandmaster realm.

When did such a character appear in the capital, and why hadn't he heard of it?

He returned to the Heavenly Prison with a belly full of questions.

Just after sitting down, Chen Quan told him a piece of news, "Minister, Xiao Changsheng is in the cell."

What the hell?

Chen Guanlou stood up and rushed down to the Grade-A cell.

Walking halfway, he turned back and stared at Chen Quan, "Are you really unaware of the Xiao Changsheng substitute matter?"

Chen Quan immediately swore, "Minister, heaven and earth as witness, even if I betray everyone, I will never betray the Minister. What I said is true, and I dare not have the slightest concealment."

"Then why did you say that you seemed to have seen the Minister that night?"

"I didn't dare to fabricate it; in a daze, it seemed like I saw the Minister. But I couldn't be sure. What exactly happened, I am also puzzled."

Chen Guanlou pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Xiao Changsheng always tipped the prison guards before; what do you think?"

"I suspect that at that time, the person inside the cell might have already been replaced."

"Not necessarily!"

Chen Guanlou took a string of people, went down to the Grade-A cell, and arrived at Xiao Changsheng's cell door.

Medical Official Mu was inside giving a diagnosis.

"What's the situation?"

He walked into the cell and asked.

"Long-term coma, only a small amount of food and drink, the body is severely deficient. This old man is trying to wake him up, let him have some food and drink, and strive to nourish his body early."

"Is it really a substitute?" Chen Guanlou was very surprised.

He called the coroner who had verified the identity before, "Verify this person again to see if he is the real one."

The coroner obeyed and verified the identity by comparing the case files one by one.

"Except for the thin body, other physical characteristics can all correspond one by one."

"How did you discover that fake Xiao Changsheng before?"

"The other party had an inconspicuous small lump on his back. I had seen similar ones on a warrior before; it was a characteristic unique to practicing a certain evil kung fu."

"Very good! Reward!"

Chen Guanlou was very satisfied.

There were many talents under his command, and they must be rewarded.

If it were him, he wouldn't have the confidence to see through the fake Xiao Changsheng's disguise. It was too realistic, realistic to the point that even a mole could be replicated! It was truly breathtaking.

"Does anyone know how Xiao Changsheng appeared in the cell?"

Everyone shook their heads in unison.

Chen Quan stood out and said, "When the prisoners returned to the cell and counted the numbers, they found him. At that time, the person was lying on the bed board, unconscious."

Chen Guanlou nodded knowingly, "It seems that during this period, the real Xiao Changsheng has always been hidden in the Grade-A cell."

The Heavenly Prison was too big!

Hiding a person in the Grade-A cell, hiding a person who had been in a long-term coma, was not an easy task, but it wasn't a difficult task either. Being able to avoid his cleaning must be the credit of the fake Xiao Changsheng.

This person was good at formations!

The essence of the formation was confusion, darkness under the lamp!

Chen Guanlou even suspected that the real Xiao Changsheng had actually been in this cell all these days! ===== CHAPTER 1147 =====
