The sudden sound startled the two of them; they hadn't noticed anyone else present.
This shows that the other side is stronger than them.
Jing Le no longer hid, removed the aura covering her body, and stepped out of the darkness.
A little girl appeared in the cave holding a white kitten.
The Second Prince may not know Jing Le yet, but Shi Changfeng knows the memories provided by the Southern Kingdom's National Preceptor, so he knows Jing Le.
After all, the Southern Kingdom's National Preceptor had fallen into such a predicament thanks to Jing Le.
“It’s you.”
"Huh? You know me."
Jing Le raised an eyebrow, gently stroked the white tiger's fur, and looked it up and down before speaking casually.
Shi Changfeng then realized that, in principle, he did not know Jing Le. He was just too surprised to see Jing Le, which is why he said that.
However, his hands behind his back were clenched tightly, his fingers were so strong that the veins bulged, and even his vest was secretly sweating.
He possesses some of the memories of the Southern Kingdom's Grand Preceptor, namely the memory of being killed by Jing Le.
He can still feel the pain when he thinks about that feeling of being on the verge of death and having his soul shattered.
So subconsciously, he harbored a fear of Jing Le that he himself was unaware of.
How did you get in?
The second prince of the Southern Kingdom loosened his grip on Jing Le's hand when he saw that Jing Le was just a child. Hearing that Shi Changfeng knew Jing Le, he asked directly how Jing Le got in here.
After all, it took him several steps to get in, but Jing Le's child appearance was so deceptive that it made him relax a little.
"Of course I went in."
Jing Le, seemingly oblivious to Shi Changfeng's wariness, smiled and gestured towards the doorway, indicating that she was simply walking in.
[System, do you have information on this man in black? And why does Shi Changfeng on the other side know me?]
Logically, the memories of the clones should be incompatible, so how did he know of his existence?
Could it be that there's another alter ego within him that recognizes him?
So who could it be?
Jing Le frowned inwardly, her eyes darting around. Then, a brilliant idea struck her. She tightened her grip on the white tiger's fur and plucked a handful of fur off it.
"Awooo—"
The white tiger let out a weak, mournful howl, but dared not move, and could only beg Jing Le for mercy in its mind:
White Tiger: [Master, what's wrong?]
[It's nothing, it's nothing. I just suddenly remembered something. Did I hurt you earlier? I'll make it up to you later.]
Jing Le looked at the white hair she had plucked from her hand, feeling extremely embarrassed.
In my excitement, I plucked out some of the white tiger's fur, which I feel a little bad for.
However, the thought in his mind made Jing Le suddenly realize something.
The other party recognizes him simply because he has merged with the memories of his clone, and he has only dealt with two clones in total.
Shi Changfeng, who wanted to possess Emperor Jing's body, and the National Preceptor of the Southern Kingdom.
Just then, the system handed over the information it had gathered to Jing Le.
[Replying to the host, the Shi Changfeng opposite is the Demon Lord's clone who tried to possess Emperor Jing's body back then, and he currently has another clone inside him, namely the Southern Kingdom's National Preceptor.]
They hadn't actually merged; neither could gain the upper hand over the other. During the day, the Southern Kingdom's Grand Preceptor used the body, and at night, Shi Changfeng did.
Moreover, only the Southern Kingdom's Grand Preceptor can use magic. The Shi Changfeng before us possesses the Demon Lord's memories, but he cannot use magic.
The answer given by the system was completely unexpected by Jing Le.
So they've achieved symbiosis? Then dealing with them will be even easier.
It saved me a lot of trouble.
There's one thing Jing Le doesn't know: there was another clone inside the original female lead, but it was dealt with by the Southern Kingdom's Grand Master.
Jing Le narrowed his eyes slightly, whether it was Shi Changfeng at the beginning or the later National Preceptor of the Southern Kingdom.
The fact that I managed to escape from her means that I was careless at the time.
Then he looked up at the old man opposite him and thought to himself, "This time I definitely won't let them get away."
I'll use this to refine sensors and see if any clones are hiding.
Jing Le didn't want to play hide-and-seek with Shi Changfeng anymore; wouldn't it be better to just resolve everything directly?
"Go and deal with her."
Just then, Shi Changfeng stared at Jing Le with a sinister look in his eyes, his aged hand unconsciously touching his neck.
He remembered that the Southern Kingdom's national advisor was strangled to death, and the memory was so vivid that he could still feel the scene.
He didn't step forward himself, but instead hid behind the Second Prince of the Southern Kingdom, speaking to him in a sinister tone.
How to resolve Jing Le?
The tone was still commanding, indicating that the other party was an enemy, not a friend.
After understanding the meaning, the second prince of the Southern Kingdom also put away his relaxed attitude.
He took out the flute he had used to control the beast from his pocket and began to play it at Jing Le.
"call--"
A sharp, piercing flute melody echoed through the cave, accompanied by rustling sounds from the darkness.
As the flute music intensified, the noise from the shadows grew louder.
They could also hear rustling sounds coming from the shadows, as if they were closing in on Jing Le.
Jing Le used his divine sense to look and saw that many black insects crawled out of the passage behind him as the flute music started.
Every insect had changed drastically.
The most eye-catching one is the one leading the group, a centipede as tall as Jing Le.
You can still clearly see the two antennae on the centipede's head sticking up, its mouth wide open, and black saliva dripping down its sharp teeth onto the ground.
