Chapter 738

"How ruthless Zhu Wushi is, he doesn't even trust Duan Tianya, whom he raised himself, and planted a mole by his side."

"One-third of 'Dominating the World' combined with 'God-Slaying Blade Slash' can simulate the attacks of the Abyssal Dao Three Blades? This is too terrifying."

"Zhu Wushi is done for; this is the crime of treason. Even if he is the Imperial Uncle of the current dynasty and possesses an Iron Certificate of Immunity, the Emperor will not forgive him."

"Previously, Zhu Wushi slaughtered one hundred and eight top Jianghu experts, and every sect has been holding back their fire; now they can finally settle the total score with him."

……

In front of the third-floor railing.

Duan Tianya was stunned by Su Chen's words.

That wife, Liu Sheng Piaoxu, who lived with him day and night, had actually practiced the incomplete 'Dominating the World' and had been working for Zhu Wushi all along?

This, how is this possible?

It could be said that this truth completely overturned his perception.

It even caused him to lose his head, and he retorted on the spot:

"Impossible!"

"Piaoxu previously went as far as to become enemies with her father for my sake, even killing him; how could she possibly have hidden anything from me?"

"Moreover, Piaoxu had already crippled all her martial arts for my sake long ago; how could she be proficient in 'Dominating the World'?"

"I ask Mr. Su to give Duan an explanation."

Shangguan Haitang also walked out of the private room, stood beside Duan Tianya, and spoke loudly:

"Mr. Su has vast supernatural powers and the ability to divine heavenly secrets; Haitang has always admired you."

"But regarding what you just said about Lord Shenhou plotting treason, please forgive Haitang for not being able to agree."

"How could we, the people by Lord Shenhou's side, not know his actions over these years? There is absolutely no overstepping of boundaries."

"I ask Mr. Su to investigate clearly."

Hearing their words, everyone in the hall began to discuss it again.

Although they had absolute trust in Su Chen's words.

Duan Tianya and Shangguan Haitang's words also made sense.

One must know that Duan Tianya is the Great Ming's number one secret agent, with eyes like torches, having solved countless major cases.

How could Liu Sheng Piaoxu have hidden by his side for over ten years without revealing a flaw?

Furthermore, there is the Iron-Gall Shenhou, Zhu Wushi.

His actions are visible to all in the Jianghu; he is by no means a cruel and overbearing person like Liu Xi.

Not to mention that his closest secret agents are vouching for him.

Unless the four great secret agents of the Protector Dragon Villa are all Zhu Wushi's accomplices.

Otherwise, they truly find it hard to imagine how Zhu Wushi could plot treason behind their backs.

Thinking this, everyone looked toward the Bai Yu Platform, their eyes full of inquiry.

Su Chen's commentary had never had a flaw before.

Could it be that there are secret rumors in this matter that they don't know about?

……

On the Bai Yu Platform.

Su Chen was leisurely tasting fragrant tea, not caring about the inquiring gazes of the crowd.

After finishing a cup of tea, he unfolded his Autumn Moon Fan unhurriedly and said slowly:

"Su Mou says this naturally because there is a basis for it."

"Since all fellow Jianghu travelers are confused by this, then Su Mou will provide a detailed commentary once more."

"Zhu Wushi's ambition sprouted from the very day he obtained the 'Energy-Absorbing Great Art'."

"Creating the Taihu Lake Massacre and framing Gu Santong was the first step in his plan to obtain power."

"Facts have proven that this plan was very successful; Zhu Wushi therefore gained the trust of the Great Ming's former emperor and was entrusted with heavy responsibilities."

"Thereafter, Zhu Wushi used the name of the Protector Dragon Villa to recruit a large number of Jianghu experts."

"And he raised three secret agents—Heaven, Earth, and Mysterious—from a young age, making them experts capable of handling things on their own."

"But Zhu Wushi's ambition required him to have a force that was entirely loyal to him alone."

"Thus, Zhu Wushi chose to recruit the master of the Dongying Liu Sheng Gate, Liu Sheng Danmashou, as well as his daughter, Liu Sheng Piaoxu."

"As for the so-called patricide."

"It was actually just a play performed by Liu Sheng Danmashou and Liu Sheng Piaoxu together."

"The purpose was to allow Liu Sheng Danmashou to escape through a faked death and thereafter hide in the shadows to work for Zhu Wushi."

"Many officials in the imperial court who opposed Zhu Wushi and died mysteriously were actually killed by Liu Sheng Danmashou."

"Liu Sheng Piaoxu also did not cripple her martial arts, but was specifically planted by Zhu Wushi by Duan Tianya's side to monitor him."

"Whenever Duan Tianya went out to execute a mission, Liu Sheng Piaoxu would also go out to execute a mission at the same time."

"Such an approach naturally could not be without a single flaw."

"It was only because of the setup of the patricide beforehand that Duan Tianya never suspected Liu Sheng Piaoxu."

As Su Chen's voice fell, everyone in the hall widened their eyes.

They never expected the truth to be like this.

Zhu Wushi had harbored the ambition to usurp the throne from the very beginning.

Liu Sheng Danmashou and Liu Sheng Piaoxu of the Dongying Liu Sheng Gate were assassins he specifically recruited to eliminate dissidents for him.

No wonder the great secret agents of the Protector Dragon Villa knew nothing of Zhu Wushi's secret actions.

Because the people Zhu Wushi used were not from the Protector Dragon Villa at all, but another batch of subordinates hidden in the shadows.

Especially the act of patricide that Liu Sheng Piaoxu performed in front of Duan Tianya made everyone applaud in admiration.

This play was simply brilliant to the extreme.

Not only did it make Liu Sheng Danmashou disappear from the world, but it also successfully planted Liu Sheng Piaoxu by Duan Tianya's side.

Who would dare to suspect the already dead Liu Sheng Danmashou, or Liu Sheng Piaoxu, who was Duan Tianya's wife?

This play was the best disguise for Liu Sheng Danmashou and Liu Sheng Piaoxu.

Just as Su Chen said, it was impossible for Liu Sheng Piaoxu to have no flaws.

But because of that play of patricide, Duan Tianya would never have any suspicions about her.

From this, one can see how brilliant Zhu Wushi's scheme was.

In front of the third-floor railing.

Duan Tianya's body swayed, and he almost fainted on the spot.

Back then, Liu Sheng Piaoxu sacrificed herself to block for him and killed Liu Sheng Danmashou with her own hands for his sake.

All of this was actually just a play?

Then what did his gratitude and guilt over these ten-plus years count for?

The clown was actually myself.

Duan Tianya gave a bitter laugh.

He never expected that he, who prided himself on being clever, had been played in circles by Zhu Wushi, Liu Sheng Danmashou, Liu Sheng Piaoxu, and others from beginning to end.

He could even imagine how Liu Sheng Danmashou would ridicule and mock him from behind the scenes.

His fingernails were already deeply embedded in his palms, but Duan Tianya felt no pain at all.

Because the anger in his heart was ten thousand times higher than that.

……

On the Bai Yu Platform.

Su Chen did not pay attention to Duan Tianya's complexion, but continued to speak like a normal storyteller:

"Let us return to Zhu Wushi."

"Recruiting Liu Sheng Danmashou and Liu Sheng Piaoxu was only a part of his layout."

"In addition, he secretly colluded with Japanese pirates and the Giant Whale Gang, assisting them in slaughtering and looting along the coast to obtain large amounts of gold, silver, and treasures."

"The previous assassination case of the Izumo Kingdom envoys was also masterminded by Zhu Wushi, with the goal of using it to eliminate the Ming Emperor Zhu Houzhao."

"And Zhu Wushi also secretly colluded with the Great Ming's wealthiest man, Wan Sancian, ordering him to prepare equipment and provisions for an army of eight hundred thousand, readying for the rebellion."

"At the same time, he bought off Wan Sancian's secret successor, planning to eliminate Wan Sancian at any time."

"Even the ten great border-guarding generals were held by Zhu Wushi with fatal handles, secretly defecting to Zhu Wushi."

"With such actions, if this doesn't count as plotting treason, then I fear there are no rebels under heaven."
