“What is it?”
Cheng Zhihai looked at Cheng Guang, his majestic eyes flickering with light.
Cheng Guang smiled and said, “The crown prince, using a Different Treasure, disguised himself as the King of South Ming. That Different Treasure is probably called Si Tong.”
“Si Tong?” Cheng Zhihai’s expression froze slightly, then he frowned. He naturally knew of this Different Treasure.
But, he was somewhat puzzled.
Why would the crown prince use this Different Treasure to disguise himself as the King of South Ming?
Could it be that among all the capabilities of the person he merged with, there was the ability to disguise?
What kind of ability could perfectly disguise one person as another?
Even to the extent of deceiving Emperor Zhou and himself and others?
Cheng Zhihai did not really understand.
Cheng Guang seemed to have noticed the doubts in Cheng Zhihai’s heart and immediately smiled and said, “The person who shares powers with the King of South Ming is from the Demonic Race, and that Demonic Race seems to have this kind of method.”
Upon hearing this, Cheng Zhihai’s frown softened, “The Demonic Race, I see.”
Cheng Zhihai murmured to himself, looking at Cheng Guang, “So you’re saying, within the Great Zhou territory, there still exists the Demonic Race?”
“If it’s the Different Treasure Si Tong, as long as we capture that member of the Demonic Race, the matter can be perfectly resolved.”
“Do you know the whereabouts of that member of the Demonic Race?”
By the end of his question, Cheng Zhihai’s confidence waned slightly.
Because he knew that neither the Demonic Race nor the Devil Clan would dare to appear in public, they must be extremely well-concealed, not something ordinary people could find.
Last time, Cheng Guang had managed to discover the Devil Clan smuggling in the canal beneath Great Zhou, which was already a huge shock to Cheng Zhihai. So even with some mental preparation this time, he still found it hard to believe that Cheng Guang could have found a lead on the Demonic Race.
Cheng Guang nodded, “That member of the Demonic Race, Dad should also recognize.”
Cheng Zhihai was startled.
Cheng Guang continued, “It’s the Queen of the South Ming.”
When Cheng Zhihai heard the words “Queen of the South Ming” from Cheng Guang’s mouth, the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.
The King of South Ming was the crown prince.
The Queen of the South Ming was a member of the Demonic Race.
The crown prince had not only consorted with the Devil Clan but also with the Demonic Race, and even dared to elevate a member of the Demonic Race to the prominent position of queen.
For so long.
And he had not noticed a thing!
At the same time, Cheng Zhihai also felt a chill of fear.
He was well aware that just the day before yesterday, the Queen of the South Ming had visited Duke Zhen’s Mansion to see Wu Yuemei and Cheng Guang.
“The Queen of the South Ming didn’t do anything to you, did she?”
A wave of anxiety suddenly rose in Cheng Zhihai’s heart. He quickly grabbed Cheng Guang’s wrist with one hand, channeling his Qi to carefully probe Cheng Guang’s body.
Only after finding nothing amiss in Cheng Guang’s body did he slowly exhale in relief.
Cheng Guang shook his head.
“No, it was because the Queen of the South Ming tried to make a move on me that I realized her identity,” Cheng Guang explained.
“Make a move on you? In Duke Zhen’s Mansion, with an Elder presiding, she wouldn’t have the audacity.”
Cheng Zhihai frowned slightly.
Cheng Guang also nodded, “She didn’t use conspicuous methods, but Spirit Taoism.”
“Spirit Taoism.” Cheng Zhihai was somewhat taken aback. He was no fool; upon hearing Cheng Guang’s words, many connections were made instantly.
It turned out that the Queen of the South Ming had tried to attack Guanger’s Primordial Spirit, but had not anticipated that Guanger was also a Spirit Dao cultivator and detected it in advance.
This led to pulling the strings and exposing that the King of South Ming was actually the crown prince.
Cheng Zhihai felt a sense of satisfaction. Little did he know that having Cheng Guang cultivate Spirit Dao would lead to such an unintended discovery.
Had it not been for Cheng Guang’s reminder, how could he have guessed that the Queen of the South Ming was actually of the Demonic Race and was even able to cultivate Spirit Dao, something only the royal members of the Four Directions Mortal World could?
If Cheng Guang had not cultivated Spirit Dao and had fallen into the hands of the Queen of the South Ming, even he wouldn’t have immediately suspected the queen.
Truly a cunning scheme.
Cheng Zhihai’s expression darkened slightly, turning cold, “Guanger, if the Queen of the South Ming fails once, she will definitely come a second time. During this period, stay by my side as a precaution.”
“It’s not appropriate to make a move now; if we touch the Queen of the South Ming, the crown prince disguised as the King of South Ming will notice. If he escapes again, that would be troublesome.”
Hearing Cheng Zhihai’s words, Cheng Guang smiled and said, “There’s no need, Dad. That Queen of the South Ming…”
At this point, his expression turned a bit strange, and after a slight pause, he continued,
“The Queen of the South Ming probably doesn’t pose much of a threat to me anymore,” Cheng Guang explained.
Cheng Zhihai glanced at Cheng Guang, somewhat puzzled, “What do you mean by that?”
Cheng Guang organized his words, then smiled and said, “It’s likely, perhaps, because I have some leverage on her…”
“So Dad doesn’t need to worry about my safety. Instead, we can have some people keep a watch near her to prevent her from escaping the Capital City.”
Seeing that Cheng Guang was reluctant to say more, Cheng Zhihai curbed his curiosity and asked no further.
Cheng Guang did not have much idle chat with Cheng Zhihai at the Bureau of the Lamp.
When 5pm arrived, Cheng Guang bid farewell to Cheng Zhihai and left the Bureau of the Lamp.
As soon as Cheng Guang left, Cheng Zhihai immediately called for Qian Siyuan and Li Zhengyang, and at the same time gathered all the Gold Lantern Catchers in the Capital City.
The already turbulent Capital City became even more restless at this moment.
