So, after the Cold King and his consort dealt with those four beasts, they smoothly emerged and arrived outside the main command tent.
Inside the main command tent, the fake Ghost Valley Master, once the outside quieted down, quietly took out the Imperial Seal he had stolen to examine it closely.
His eyelids had been twitching fiercely tonight, and he felt uneasy, but he couldn't pinpoint the reason.
So, he took out the Imperial Seal again to have a look.
"Jun Haochen, twenty-two years ago you stole my throne. Twenty-two years later, I, Jun Nansheng, will reclaim it, hah..."
"Soon that day will come. I will trample you and that old hag underfoot, ensuring you can never rise again."
"Hahaha..."
Jun Nansheng sat in the main command tent, laughing foolishly to himself.
His words were overheard by the Cold King and his consort, who had just slipped out. This time, Leng Ruoli had once again used her telekinetic ability to enter her personal system space and observe the situation inside Jun Nansheng's main command tent through a mirror within the space.
"Jun Mohan, look at the thing that fake Ghost Valley Master is holding. Is that the Imperial Seal?" Leng Ruoli asked in astonishment.
"Yes, that large seal in that person's hand is indeed the Imperial Seal. This king saw it in his father the Emperor's imperial study when he was young," Jun Mohan replied with certainty.
"Then I'm very curious how Father managed to fool so many court officials with a fake Imperial Seal?" Leng Ruoli asked, full of doubt.
"Actually, the Imperial Seal that Father later had secretly made was not significantly different from the real one. It's just that when the founding emperor Jun Can'ao ascended the throne, he invited an immortal elder to bless the Imperial Seal, and also imbued it with the founding emperor's dragon qi. To discern the authenticity of the seal, one must find a way to reveal the dragon qi within it. However, only those who become the Heavenly Martial Emperor are qualified to know the method to reveal the dragon qi within the Imperial Seal. Therefore, even if others knew the Imperial Seal was fake, they could do nothing but exert pressure on the Emperor or stir up trouble in court."
Jun Mohan patiently explained to Leng Ruoli while they were in the space.
"Oh, no wonder the Emperor remained so calm even when he knew the secret of the Imperial Seal's loss had been leaked?"
Leng Ruoli commented teasingly after hearing his explanation.
"Actually, Father is not calm at all. It's just that he has occupied that position for so many years that he has learned to conceal his emotions," Jun Mohan explained.
"That's true!"
Leng Ruoli pouted upon hearing his words, finding them quite reasonable.
If an emperor who had held the throne for so many years couldn't conceal his emotions, then that person was truly unfit for the position.
"So, what do we do next? Do we capture Jun Nansheng and retrieve the Imperial Seal first, or wait for Ye Ying to bring reinforcements before we make our move?"
Leng Ruoli asked Jun Mohan, her apricot eyes sparkling. She raised her hand to smooth the two strands of hair at her temples, her cherry lips parting slightly, a faint smile gracing the corners of her mouth.
"Let's make a move first, and we must capture Jun Nansheng alive," Jun Mohan replied calmly, his gaze growing slightly cold.
"Alright!"
Leng Ruoli snapped her fingers in mid-air, preparing to leave the space.
But just then, a voice suddenly sounded from the entrance of the main command tent outside the space.
"Master, someone has intruded into the camp and killed Er Zhuang and the other four, and also rescued those two village girls."
"What? Then why aren't you quickly finding that person for me? If our encampment location is leaked, both you and I will be in trouble."
Jun Nansheng roared at the guard at the door, not forgetting to wrap up the Imperial Seal in his hand and place it close to his person.
The guard at the tent entrance heard Jun Nansheng's voice, and his reply became trembling.
"Yes... yes, Master!"
After replying, he hurried away.
At this moment, Leng Ruoli seized the opportunity and immediately flashed into appearance behind Jun Nansheng. Jun Mohan attempted to strike him unconscious with a single punch.
However, this Jun Nansheng was not entirely incompetent. After hearing the guard's report, he had sensed a dangerous aura in his tent and thus became vigilant.
When Leng Ruoli and Jun Mohan quietly appeared behind him, he also sensed the danger behind him. Then, almost simultaneously with Jun Mohan, he launched an attack.
As a result, the insidious and cunning Jun Nansheng pulled out a handful of powder from his sleeve and hurled it at Jun Mohan.
Jun Mohan and Leng Ruoli quickly covered their noses. Jun Nansheng kicked out, intending to flee the tent, but Leng Ruoli shot him in the thigh.
Jun Nansheng immediately cried out in pain: "Ah..."
And fell to the ground.
Subsequently, Jun Mohan quickly rushed to Jun Nansheng's side and swiftly immobilized his acupoints, rendering him unable to move.
Then, he immediately searched Jun Nansheng and retrieved the Imperial Seal, directly tossing it to Leng Ruoli for safekeeping. After Leng Ruoli received the Imperial Seal, she opened the cloth bag and took a careful look. Then, she directly threw the Imperial Seal into her personal space.
"Jun Nansheng, I never expected you to live incognito for so many years, still fixated on that position. Your ambition is still unquenchable," Jun Mohan taunted, gripping his collar.
"Hmph! Jun Mohan, I should have killed you when you came to Ghost Valley seeking medical treatment back then," Jun Nansheng said through gritted teeth, full of anger.
"Are you regretting it now?"
Jun Mohan raised his eyebrows upon hearing his words, not angered but instead retorted.
"Yes, I regret it. I never dreamed you would be so resilient and lucky enough to encounter a mentally challenged girl who could cure the wolf poison that afflicted you," Jun Nansheng said, glancing at Leng Ruoli beside him.
"Heh! You're quite formidable too, managing to trick this king into taking poison for over a decade without me realizing it," Jun Mohan also said with a cold laugh.
"Jun Mosai, although the pills I developed for you contained potent poison, if these potent substances weren't used to counteract the wolf poison you were afflicted with, you wouldn't have survived this long," Jun Nansheng retorted.
"Enough, old man. I, Leng Ruoli, am right here, and you're still trying to deceive Jun Mohan. The poisoned pills you developed do have the effect of using poison to fight poison, but the more of those poisoned pills you ate, the more frequent Jun Mohan's wolf poison relapses became. Each relapse was more severe than the last. By the time he completely transformed into a werewolf, he would eventually die from exhausting his blood."
As Leng Ruoli spoke, Jun Mohan's fists under his sleeves were already tightly clenched.
"If he hadn't taken the poisoned pills you developed, even with his wolf poison relapsing once every full moon, he wouldn't have suffered as much as he did after taking your medicine. If he had been strong enough, he could have lived to around twenty-four. And you, under the guise of helping Jun Mohan detoxify, used him as your test subject. Am I right?" Leng Ruoli exposed his scheme on the spot.
