Teacher Yinyue?
When Gu Hai heard this name, his expression suddenly changed as he recalled what Chang Ming had said.
Long Sanqian appeared at the Silver Moon Mountain Manor. Old Mister Guan Qi had been paying attention to the Silver Moon Mountain Manor?
Soul exchange?
Besides Gu Hai, the others鈥?eyelids twitched wildly.
鈥淥f the cultural cultivations, the Go Dao is horrifying. The music Dao is also very strange.鈥?Kong Xuan raised his eyebrows, looking shocked.
鈥淎lright. We have already found the spy. Go back first. We鈥檒l wait for Meng Tai鈥檚 interrogation results,鈥?Gu Hai said.
鈥淵es!鈥?Then everyone departed.
Gu Hai watched the six leave, frowning heavily. He did not feel relaxed after finding the spy. Instead, he turned graver.
------
Sima Changkong鈥檚 residence:
鈥淢ilord, they captured Ao Shun. Meng Tai brought him back to the Embroidered Uniform Guard鈥檚 headquarters. It looks like they tossed him in jail,鈥?an official reported with an unsightly expression.
鈥淗e moved really fast. Two hours? Just two hours?鈥?Sima Changkong said, grimacing.
鈥淭hen鈥hat should we do now? Should we send our people to save Ao Shun?鈥?
鈥淭here鈥檚 no need to rush. No one is to take any action. Gu Hai is so smart; how could he not be wary? It is practically impossible to take away someone he is keeping an eye on in Borderless Heavenly Capital,鈥?Sima Changkong said coldly.
鈥淭hen Ao Shun, he鈥︹€?
鈥淭here will be an opportunity. Wait for me. Wait until I lure Gu Hai out of Borderless Heavenly Capital before saving Ao Shun,鈥?Sima Changkong said.
鈥淵es!鈥?

That evening:
Meng Tai walked into the emperor鈥檚 study with an unsightly expression.
鈥淵our Reverence. He鈥e refuses to say anything,鈥?Meng Tai said grudgingly.
鈥淵ou got nothing?鈥?Gu Hai asked.
鈥淗e only admitted to being Ao Sheng but nothing else. This official did not dare be too extreme in my interrogation,鈥?Meng Tai said with a bitter expression.
Gu Hai frowned at Meng Tai.
Meng Tai showed an unsightly expression. This is just a minor matter, but I failed to handle it. Am I too incapable?
鈥淵our Reverence, give me three days. This official will get everything three days later!鈥?Meng Tai swore.
鈥淭here鈥檚 no need. Go back and prepare. We will come and personally interrogate him later,鈥?Gu Hai said.
鈥淵es!鈥?Meng Tai answered.
After Meng Tai left, Gu Hai remained alone in the study. Gently tapping his finger on the table, he showed a grave expression.
Whoosh!

Black energy appeared out of nowhere and gathered, forming Chang Ming鈥檚 appearance.
鈥淵our Reverence, this official sent people to infiltrate the Silver Moon Mountain Manor. However, there is no way in. The Silver Moon Mountain Manor is tightly guarded, including many zombies.鈥?Chang Ming frowned.
鈥淶ombies? Unable to enter? It鈥檚 normal, then. Indeed, the Silver Moon Mountain Manor allied with the Wu Imperial Dynasty,鈥?Gu Hai said coldly.
鈥淵es! Should this official continue?鈥?
鈥淲e need to continue monitoring them. Since the Blood Uniform Guard cannot enter, we can only think of other methods. We will send other people in,鈥?Gu Hai said after some thought.
鈥淵es!鈥?
鈥淐ontinue to send people to monitor Gu Qin, Mo Yike, Gao Xianzhi, Kong Xuan, and Chen Tianshan. However, there鈥檚 no need to be so strict about it. Just collect information about their daily lives,鈥?Gu Hai said seriously.
鈥淎h? Your Reverence, didn鈥檛 you find the spy already?鈥?Chang Ming鈥檚 face sank.
鈥淒on鈥檛 ask too many questions. Just monitor them. Immediately report to us if there is anything strange!鈥?Gu Hai said seriously.
鈥淵es!鈥?
鈥淚s there one of Ao Shun鈥檚 followers in the city, going by Little Lin?鈥?Gu Hai asked.
鈥淵es. He adored Ao Shun greatly in the past. When Ao Shun became the prime of the Han Nation鈥檚 dragons, he turned his back on Ao Sheng and followed Ao Shun. He should be Ao Shun鈥檚 greatest supporter,鈥?Chang Ming explained.
鈥淏ring him here. Don鈥檛 harm him, and don鈥檛 expose him to others,鈥?Gu Hai instructed.
鈥淵es!鈥?Chang Ming answered.
鈥淕o on, then!鈥?
Chang Ming left.
Soon, another person arrived. It was the Mosquito Daoist.
鈥淵our Reverence!鈥?The Mosquito Daoist bowed respectfully to Gu Hai.
The Mosquito Daoist recognized Gu Hai鈥檚 strength after seeing him defeat Sect Master Heavenly Access. Furthermore, he found the spy in a mere two hours. This showed how capable Gu Hai was, so the Mosquito Daoist was exceedingly respectful of him.
鈥淢osquito Daoist, we have a mission for you,鈥?Gu Hai said seriously.
鈥淥h?鈥?The Mosquito Daoist showed some misgiving.

Two hours later, Embroidered Uniform Guard鈥檚 prison:
Ao Shun was chained to a large torture rack. Many hooks gripped his body, wrapping around his bones. He had countless lash marks on his body, and his blood stained his clothes.
鈥淗ahahaha! Meng Tai, you dog of Gu Hai, kill me if you can! Gu Hai, kill me if you can!鈥?Ao Shun roared ferociously.
鈥淪peak quickly!鈥?
A guard held a whip as he stood in front of Ao Shun. The guard moistened the whip with a medicinal liquid, then struck Ao Shun.
Gu Hai and Meng Tai stood in front.
Gu Hai stood with his hands behind his back, looking coldly at Ao Shun.
Meng Tai turned a deaf ear to Ao Shun鈥檚 insults.
鈥淵our Reverence, you鈥檝e seen it. He refuses to speak,鈥?Meng Tai said with a bitter smile.
Gu Hai coldly eyed Ao Shun. 鈥淎o Sheng, you are very tight-lipped. However, do you know it will all end if you die? No one will grieve for you.鈥?
Ao Shun looked back at Gu Hai coldly.
鈥淗umph! Gu Hai, falling for your trick is my failure. I hate that I did not kill you back in the Thousand Islands Sea. Would there be this day had I killed you then?鈥?Ao Shun roared coldly.
鈥淔act is, you can鈥檛 kill us. Where is Ao Shun?鈥?Gu Hai said coldly.
鈥淗im? Hahahaha! His Reverence and I surrounded and trapped him the moment we returned from eight hundred thousand years in the past. I do not know where he is now. No one knows!鈥?Ao Sheng sneered.
鈥淭hen you exchanged souls?鈥?Gu Hai said coldly.
鈥淗umph!鈥?Ao Sheng snorted coldly.
鈥淕o on and hit me if you want. I won鈥檛 say anything. Just kill me!鈥?Ao Sheng sneered.
鈥淒o you think we don鈥檛 dare to?鈥?Gu Hai said coldly.
鈥淗umph! If you kill me, Ao Shun will die too. If you want him to die, then kill me! His Reverence will level Borderless Heavenly Capital sooner or later. I will be saved then. Hahahaha!鈥?Ao Sheng guffawed maniacally.
鈥淒o you think we care about Ao Shun?鈥?Gu Hai said coldly.
鈥淗ah! Stop pretending. I will not let you trick me again. You spent a lot of effort to recruit Ao Shun. Can you bear for him to die?鈥?Ao Sheng sneered.
鈥淏ring a sword over!鈥?Gu Hai said.
Meng Tai immediately complied.
鈥淭hen let鈥檚 see whether we dare to or not,鈥?Gu Hai sneered.
As Gu Hai spoke, he swung the sword down on Ao Sheng.
Ao Sheng鈥檚 face sank. However, he felt confident Gu Hai would not dare to kill him.
Phish!
Gu Hai chopped off Ao Sheng鈥檚 left arm.
鈥淎h! You! You really dare?!鈥?Ao Sheng yelled in pain.
鈥淎re you willing to speak now?鈥?Gu Hai asked with a cold smile.
鈥淵ou-you-you are still trying to trick me? You did chop off the left arm. However, you can reattach it after you find Ao Shun. Hahahaha! As long as I don鈥檛 die, your schemes will never succeed!鈥?Ao Sheng sneered.
Gu Hai snorted coldly. Then he sent out a manifested palm with a flip of his hand, smashing it on that arm. With a dull squelch, the manifested palm relaxed. The arm had been crushed to a pulp.
Ao Sheng: 鈥溾€︹€?
鈥淗ow am I going to reattach it now?鈥?Gu Hai smiled coldly.
鈥淢eng Tai, feed the meat to the dogs!鈥?Gu Hai commanded.
鈥淵es!鈥?Meng Tai responded. He quickly scooped up the meat pulp and brought it out.
鈥淭here鈥檚 no rush. We can take our time. The right arm comes after the left. Then there are still the two legs and the body. We will chop them off one by one, smash them to pulp piece by piece, and feed the dogs. Let鈥檚 see when you will speak. What other secrets are there in the Wu Imperial Dynasty? What other experts in the Spirit Mountain Holy Land colluded with you?鈥?Gu Hai asked coldly.
鈥淚f I die, Ao Shun鈥檚 physical body will be destroyed. His soul will die too!鈥?Ao Sheng said coldly.
鈥淲e know. Are you still unwilling to speak? Again!鈥?Gu Hai said coldly.
Boom!
Gu Hai chopped off Ao Sheng鈥檚 right arm and smashed it to a pulp. Then Meng Tai quickly collected the mangled flesh.
鈥淎rgh!鈥?
Ao Sheng bellowed in pain.
鈥淗ow is it?鈥?Gu Hai said coldly.
鈥淕u Hai! Gu Hai, Ao Shun remained loyal to you. You will die a horrible death!鈥?Ao Sheng roared in a rage.
鈥淲e will give you one night to think about this. If there is still no answer tomorrow鈥ou know what we are capable of,鈥?Gu Hai said coldly.
As Gu Hai spoke, he walked out.
After having two arms chopped off, Ao Sheng showed horror on his face. He discovered for the first time how ruthless Gu Hai could be. Defying such a person was extremely horrifying.
Meng Tai and the Embroidered Uniform Guards did not dare to interject as they respectfully sent Gu Hai out of the prison.
A hall in the Embroidered Uniform Guard鈥檚 headquarters:
The other Embroidered Uniform Guards did not dare approach this hall. Meng Tai stood guard outside, not daring to enter.
Only Gu Hai stood in the hall.
Extending his hand, he took out two arms and carefully placed them in a crystal box. These were the arms he chopped off earlier; he had not crushed them to a pulp. Before smashing his manifested palm down, he had hidden the two arms and replaced them with meat pulp.
鈥淭his crystal box has a ritual array on it to preserve the arms. Store it carefully,鈥?Gu Hai said.
Buzz!
A black mosquito in front instantly transformed into the Mosquito Daoist鈥檚 appearance. Then the Mosquito Daoist carefully received the crystal box.
鈥淵our Reverence, are we going to release this potential danger and follow him back to find Ao Shun?鈥?The Mosquito Daoist鈥檚 eyes lit up.
鈥淭hat鈥檚 right. Hopefully, it will succeed. Remember: do not act rashly, no matter what. Focus on rescuing Ao Shun as the priority,鈥?Gu Hai said seriously.
鈥淵es! Your Reverence, don鈥檛 worry!鈥?the Mosquito Daoist answered.
鈥淭ake this bottle of liquid. If you see Ao Shun, drip them on where his arms were chopped off. It should help him reattach his arms,鈥?Gu Hai said, taking out a small bottle.
鈥淭his is? Yes!鈥?The Mosquito looked at that small bottle with amazement.
The small bottle contained Mending Heaven Energy meant for fixing Ao Shun鈥檚 arms.
鈥淕o on, then. Be careful. Someone will rescue Ao Sheng two hours later. Turn into a small mosquito and hide by his side; don鈥檛 expose yourself. Be very careful,鈥?Gu Hai instructed solemnly.
鈥淵es!鈥?the Mosquito Daoist answered.
The Mosquito Daoist carefully put everything away before his figure flashed, turning into a mosquito the size of a sesame seed. Then it flew out of the hall. Meng Tai and the others did not notice it.
After the Mosquito Daoist left, Gu Hai called Meng Tai in.
鈥淵our Reverence, everything has been arranged,鈥?Meng Tai said respectfully.
鈥淵es. Come to our study to receive a punishment tomorrow.鈥?Gu Hai nodded.
鈥淵es, Your Reverence!鈥?Meng Tai said while hiding his joy.
Punishment? His Reverence is going to send someone to break into the prison. Then I should feign negligence, letting Ao Sheng escape?
Meng Tai did not worry about making such a mistake, as this was the emperor鈥檚 trust in him.
