Gu Jian couldn't stand this guy anymore and walked out of the alley without looking back.
Then he headed into the city.
Before the demons descended, Gu Jian had visited Jinling more than once and was quite familiar with the place.
Now, Gu Jian thought of checking the places he had seen on the audio-visual jade slip in his previous life to see if there were any clues.
However, as he passed through the city, Gu Jian stopped in front of a bustling building.
The plaque above the gate of the building reads "Li Yao Fu" (隶妖府).
Outside the building, there was a long queue.
Upon closer inspection, it became clear that the people in line were all demon cultivators and evil cultivators.
Some people chatted enthusiastically while waiting in line.
After listening for a while, Gu Jian realized that this was the place where the martial arts champion of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom applied for examination.
Gu Jian had no interest in becoming the martial arts champion of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, nor would he ever pledge allegiance to the Fox Demon Queen of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom.
His purpose in coming to Meidu was to investigate matters from his past life.
However, just as Gu Jian was about to turn his gaze away from the long queue of the Demon Lord's Palace, he suddenly saw something.
Immediately, his figure flashed and he retreated behind the corner of the wall.
A man dressed in black, accompanied by a woman with a bewitching aura, emerged from the Demon Palace.
The man in black had a faint smile on his face.
He seemed to be of considerable status.
When he came out, many demon cultivators and evil cultivators lined up and clasped their fists in greeting to him.
Some even fawned over him, calling him "Brother Gu"!
The man in black simply nodded slightly and then left with the bewitching woman.
Looking at his retreating figure, Gu Jian's face turned icy cold.
The reason was that the man in black looked exactly like him.
Is he the person who framed me in my past life?
At that moment, Gu Jian felt a tap on his shoulder.
He turned around and saw Bian Daque with thick eyebrows and big eyes, who had appeared behind him at some point.
Before Gu Jian could speak, Bian Daque said, "I'm sorry, Brother Taibai, I was wrong just now. I've reflected on my actions. I shouldn't have made you the second brother; I should make you the eldest brother. From now on, you will be my eldest brother, Taibai."
Gu Jian: "..."
Bian Daque then asked, "But Brother Taibai, what are you doing here?"
Gu Jian didn't answer. He glanced at the departing figures and asked, "Brother Que, do you know those two people?"
Following Gu Jian's gaze, Bian Daque also looked over.
He was slightly surprised, then scanned the area with his divine sense, and then smiled and said, "Brother Taibai, you've come to the right person. I know those two. The man is Gu Jian, the eldest disciple of the Misty Sect. About two days ago, he came to Ten Thousand Demon City and became a retainer of the Minister of War and Demons."
"That woman is called Snake Princess. Her true form is a snake demon, and she is the steward of the Minister of War's mansion."
Hearing Bian Daque's words, Gu Jian's gaze turned even colder.
Sure enough, this was the person who impersonated him in his past life.
He arrived in the City of Ten Thousand Demons two days ago.
From a timeline perspective, this almost perfectly matches the fact that he created a body double.
Without a doubt, the person impersonating him was in cahoots with the Peng demon who took away his substitute corpse that day.
Gu Jian muttered to himself.
"In the eyes of the person behind the Roc Demon, I am already dead, so why are they still impersonating me?"
"In my past life, you impersonated me to harm me."
"He's doing it again in this life. Why? What does he gain from framing people like this?"
Who exactly is he?
Gu Jian muttered to himself, and began to ponder.
Previously, Gu Jian had determined that the person was most likely related to the Misty Sect.
At this moment, based on the principle of who benefits the most and who is the most suspicious, a face slowly emerged from Gu Jian's bag.
That was the mocking face that looked at him when he was ordered to be executed in his past life.
"Fourth Junior Brother, could it be you?"
Gu Jian muttered to himself, a cold smile creeping onto his lips.
In his view, even if this person wasn't Ye Chen, he was definitely connected to Ye Chen.
After all, whether it's a past life or this life.
After his reputation was ruined, Ye Chen was the biggest beneficiary.
After Ye Qingcheng became utterly disappointed and even desperate about him, she would definitely devote more energy and effort to Ye Chen.
Having given up on Ye Qingcheng, Gu Jian wouldn't care what she did.
However, he would never do as Ye Chen wished.
"Brother Taibai, what's wrong?"
Bian Daque was very puzzled, wondering why this Taibai brother was always in a daze.
Gu Jian looked at Bian Daque and asked, "Nothing, Brother Que. I just wanted to ask, what do you get for becoming the martial arts champion of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom?"
Bian Daque said, "Brother Taibai, your status will be greatly enhanced after becoming the martial arts champion of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom."
"Furthermore, I've heard that becoming the martial arts champion of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom will earn the favor of the Nine-Tailed Fox Demon Queen. If one continues to accumulate merits, one may even become the military advisor of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, or even the prime minister, commanding the three armies of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom!"
Does he have that much power?
Gu Jian was surprised.
Then he thought of the person who had impersonated him earlier.
He thought to himself that this might be the reason he applied to become the top martial arts champion.
Gu Jian then asked, "How is the martial arts champion assessed?"
Bian Daque said, "The martial arts champion examination is divided into a written test and a martial arts test. The written test is not much different from the imperial examination in Chu."
"The top 100 in the written test will be eligible for the second round of martial arts testing."
Gu Jian then asked, "How is the martial arts test conducted?"
Bian Daque said, "I heard it's a tournament, where one person fights another, regardless of life or death! The one who survives will become the martial arts champion of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom."
"Brother Taibai, why are you asking such detailed questions? Do you really intend to take the martial arts exam and then dismantle the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom from within?"
