Zuan was somewhat surprised, thinking that Zheng Dan really had a special fondness for being a gang leader, both in Mingyue City and in the capital.
"It's because we placed the Empress Dowager outside, and there were some people watching us, that it wasn't convenient for us to go out. That's why we couldn't stop her from leaving immediately," Sang Qian said apologetically.
Zuan comforted her, saying, "You can't blame her. She's a grandmaster; if she wants to leave, you can't stop her even if you want to."
He handed his daughter to Sang Qian: "There are some people watching outside. Do you know which family they are?"
Both women shook their heads blankly: "We guessed they might be here to find the Empress Dowager, since she disappeared in this direction when she fled."
"In that case, I'll just ask directly." As soon as Zuan finished speaking, he disappeared from the spot.
Meanwhile, outside the Sang residence, in a dimly lit pavilion, a man in black was secretly observing the situation inside.
Although they suspected something was wrong with the Sang family, they hadn't found any evidence against them these past few days, and there was no sign of that person returning.
He suddenly froze, turned around in disbelief, and found that there was another person in the room at some point.
And this person is probably known to everyone in the capital now. He is the prince assassin, the real culprit in the destruction of the Meng family, the earth immortal suppressor, the dragon slayer, the empress's lover, the beauty collector, and the regent Zu'an!
Just by standing there, he exuded a terrifying aura, and he couldn't muster even the slightest thought of resistance.
So without hesitation, he committed suicide on the spot.
Zuan: "???"
He was just about to ask the other party which side they were sent from when he unexpectedly pulled this stunt.
Sang Qian and Zheng Dan had just arrived and were startled by what they saw.
Because it was all so bizarre, the person's body decomposed rapidly immediately after death.
Zu An's expression turned cold: "This seems to be a corpse puppet controlled by an evil cultivator."
After a person dies, there is no soul, and the body will decompose quickly unless one spends a great deal of money to preserve the body with an array, like Pei You did.
Some heretical cultivators practice necromancy techniques, injecting a wisp of their divine thought into these corpses to control them. To some extent, this is even similar to how the Heart-Eating Demon Spider controls corpses.
“Then it will be very difficult to trace the mastermind behind it.” Zheng Dan was also a member of the martial arts world in the past and had heard about the corpse puppet.
For those evil cultivators, corpse puppets are nothing more than consumables; they wouldn't feel bad even if they were damaged.
The biggest advantage is that you can withdraw your divine sense from the corpse puppet at any time, so you won't be tracked down even if you do something bad.
Sang Qian's expression changed slightly upon hearing this: "Who in the capital would resort to such evil methods?"
It should be noted that in the past, when the major powers in the capital fought each other, they generally still followed the rules and would not resort to such evil methods, otherwise they would easily become the target of everyone's criticism.
Now they're resorting to any means necessary.
At this moment, Zuan said calmly, "Don't worry, he can't escape."
With his current cultivation level and control over the world, it would be a joke to let the other party escape right under his nose.
In just a short while, his divine sense had already spread out and covered the entire city.
Normally, while his behavior might allow him to find others, it would also be perceived by them.
Just like radar, once you lock onto a target, the other party and even third parties will also be aware of this vast divine thought.
However, now that he has merged with the will of heaven and earth, all he does is so subtle and imperceptible that who would notice the primordial energy of heaven and earth around him?
