Chapter 312 - The hint of the Apocalypse

The Emperor was still limp on the ground, unmoving.

The conference room was completely lit up and silent.

The Empress appeared a bit confused, but more so angry.

Gu Qing Shan stood on one side, recalling everything that happened lately.

He once again recalled a certain person.

The Confederate’s Sea Emperor, Li Dong Yuan, just like the Fuxi Emperor, he couldn’t even take one of my attacks.

Even with the highest level of cloning technology capable of replicating someone down to even their strength, it still had a flaw.

This flaw is memory.

If a Professionist’s memories are messed up, their experience with using their power, including the countless battles they’ve been through will also be messed up.

As a Professionist, having immense strength yet not knowing how to control it would result in a lot of openings in battle.

And sometimes, even the smallest opening can result in death.

“Sea Emperor…” Gu Qing Shan muttered.

So the Fuxi Emperor’s scheme, whatever it is, had already reached the top brass of the Confederate.

What exactly is he planning?

Gu Qing Shan contemplated, then decided that preventing the problem from occurring is still the best choice.

“Impartial Goddess, contact the Martial Saint, tell him your deductions. The President might be in danger, have him be on a lookout” Gu Qing Shan said.

[Very well sir] Impartial Goddess said.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

A sound suddenly came from outside the conference room.

Someone is knocking at the door.

Gu Qing Shan and the Empress exchanged glances.

“What is it?” the Empress raised her voice.

“This old servant has something to report, sire” the person outside spoke.

“His Majesty and I are currently discussing something, you can be dismissed for now, we’ll talk tomorrow” the Empress spoke.

“Understood”

The sound disappeared.

But there was no sound of footsteps.

The people are still standing outside.

They never left.

The Empress’ expression changed, couldn’t help but retreating one step back.

Gu Qing Shan just released his inner sight to check.

He saw two officials standing outside the door, exchanging glances.

They were emitting powerful energy waves.

“Two 5th stage Professionists!”

The Empress felt the waves from outside and spoke in a low voice.

She glanced at Gu Qing Shan.

Gu Qing Shan nodded, confirming her thoughts.

A single 5th stage Professionist is already a rare powerhouse.

Where did two 5th stage suddenly come from?

“Open the door”

Gu Qing Shan point his sword downward and said.

The Empress hesitated, but came up to open the door anyways.

Two familiar faces appeared in front of her.

They are both old officials of the Empire, never cultivated a single day in their lives.

But at this very moment, both of them emitted powerful Elementalist power, confirming their identities as the powerful Professionists she felt from before.

The two officials were also surprised.

They didn’t think the other party would really open the door.

Maybe there aren’t any problems after all?

Gu Qing Shan suddenly disappeared.

He reappeared again behind one of the officials, docking him with the hilt of his sword.

The man instantly collapsed and fell unconscious.

The other official reacted, raising his hand to release power.

But the sword had already flashed right in front of his eyes.

Fast!

The official summoned forth his power to create a golden brown colored light to block in front of himself.

Bam!

The strike suddenly turned sideways, squarely striking him in his palm.

———what, why such a soft strike?

As the official was still thinking, pain came from behind his neck.

His eyes darkened as he collapsed.

Secret Art, [Swallow Return].

When he attacks with his sword, an identical sword strike will come from behind.

Gu Qing Shan stowed away his sword and pulled them both into the conference room.

The Empress quickly closed the doors.

“Can you identify them?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“They’re both close aides of the Emperor, but they are definitely not the original them” the Empress said.

She looked at Gu Qing Shan and explained further: “They are supposed to only be normal people”

“Then I won’t hold back” Gu Qing Shan nodded.

He placed his hand on one of their foreheads.

Soul Reading.

The man’s head exploded right away.

Failed Soul Reading!

Gu Qing Shan placed his hand on the other person’s head as well.

Just like the Emperor, this one also became braindead.

“They’re both clones” Gu Qing Shan muttered.

However, this time he finally managed to see a short blurry scene.

Among a sea of white mist, the Fuxi Emperor held a golden skull in hand, walking forward.

The first Fuxi Emperor’s skull.

“All of you shall temporarily take over the country for me” the Fuxi Emperor said.

Another voice asked: “What if we’re found out?”

The Fuxi Emperor didn’t bother to turn around and only answered: “Buy as much time as you can, it’s fine even if we’re found out, I’ve already arranged everything properly, what’s to come will soon come”

“Facing such unrivalled power, the fate of humanity has already been sealed”

His tone of voice carried a hint of sorrow, but more excitement and enthusiasm.

The Emperor walked into the sea of mist and gradually disappeared.

The memory ended here.

Gu Qing Shan silently nodded.

Although he only managed to get this very short memory, he had already managed to confirm 70-80% of the truth.

Who else knows about this?

I should probably check the royal guards as well.

“I’ll clean this place up a bit, please call two guards in here” Gu Qing Shan said.

“Alright”

Knowing that the situation isn’t quite normal, the Empress instantly complied.

She came out and quickly went back in with two guards.

The sword flashed.

The two guards were knocked unconscious.

Gu Qing Shan glanced at them to see that they were only 3rd stage Professionists.

He used Soul Reading once again.

This time, he very easily got their memories.

“These two guards are normal” Gu Qing Shan said, “the Emperor’s and the officials’ memories were very quick, very unstable”

“Do you think the Emperor is alive?” the Empress asked.

“Yes he is, the real Emperor might be doing something else” Gu Qing Shan said vaguely.

After all, they’ve been husband and wife for a long time, he can’t tell for sure what the Empress’ attitude would be.

The Empress’ tone was cold: “Just now, the two of them held killing intent towards me, did you notice?”

As a Professionist herself, she is very sensitive to such a thing.

Gu Qing Shan hesitantly nodded.

The Empress didn’t shed a tear and spoke without changing her expression: “If that is what he arranged, then the last bit of feelings I have left for him should also be broken off”

“Very decisive and very wise, let’s get out of here now” Gu Qing Shan said.

The Empress was a bit surprised, but quickly understood.

——who knows how many accomplices these people have?

Two random scouts sent out were already 5th stage Professionist, who knows what their true strength would be like.

When they were about to leave, a banging sound came.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Someone was knocking on the door again.

“What is it?” the Empress asked.

“What is it?” the Empress raised her voice.

“We have something to report, sire” the person outside spoke.

From the sound of it, there were 4 people.

“His Majesty and I are currently discussing something, you can be dismissed for now, we’ll talk tomorrow” the Empress spoke.

“Understood”

The sound disappeared.

There was no sound of footsteps.

The people were still standing outside, not leaving.

Gu Qing Shan released his inner sight to check and found they were four 5th stage Professionists this time.

The Empress looked at Gu Qing Shan and hurriedly asked: “What do we do now?”

Gu Qing Shan answered: “I probably can’t hold back anymore”

——–it won’t be easy to just knock them unconscious this time.

Four 5th stage Professionists, even if they have no fighting experience, the sheer destruction they’re capable of causing is something to fear

And this battle has to not alert anyone.

If they drew even more enemies here, the situation will very quickly worsen.

He can only make sure the battle ends quickly by not holding back.

The Empress confirmed: “Kill them all”

“Very well”

Gu Qing Shan equipped the [Ace Assassin] title.

He signaled to the Empress.

The Empress suddenly laughed and yelled: “You still haven’t left? His Majesty orders you to quickly get in here, report what you need to and scram”

The four people at the door could only exchange glances.

Perhaps, everything really is ok?

“Open the door” one of them whispered.

Another opened the door.

At the same time.

Gu Qing Shan disappeared where he stood.

The black sword shadows bloomed, exploded in the middle of the 4 people.

Three of them died instantly.

“You—–“ one of them luckily managed to escape, roaring as he retreated.

A white crescent moon appeared, followed by his voice disappearing.

Intense sword qi spun around to form a hurricane that went along the palace hallway.

Fresh blood was blown by the wind pressure created by the sword, painting the gorgeous hallway into a blood-soaked one.

Severed hands and feet littered around.

Gu Qing Shan reappeared.

He swung the Earth Sword and shook off all the blood.

[Confirmed instant kill, spirit energy returned]

[Confirmed instant kill, spirit energy returned]

[Confirmed instant kill, spirit energy returned]

Gu Qing Shan’s spirit energy was full again.

Stepping lightly, Gu Qing Shan quickly returned to the conference room.

The Empress looked at the scene outside and trembled for a bit.

She suddenly asked: “How did such a person like you remain anonymous?”

“I’m a renowned scientist” Gu Qing Shan answered.

The Empress sighed and asked: “Will we just keep defending like this?”

“Of course not, this is too passive” Gu Qing Shan replied.

He thought for a bit, then asked: “That time when the Emperor came out to hunt on his own, where was that?”

“Ridden Cloud Valley” the Empress answered.

Gu Qing Shan’s heart sank.

Then it’s confirmed.

The Apocalypse was about to begin.

“I have to go there immediately to check it out” Gu Qing Shan said.

“What about me? What about my daughter? What are we going to do when you leave?” the Empress hurriedly asked.

“I’m going to contact a trustworthy partner and have him protect you. Of course, if you’re willing to pay the price, he’ll be very willing to work hard”

“What kind of price?” the Empress clenched her fists and asked.

“Money” Gu Qing Shan spat out a word.

The Empress sighed from relief.

For the Fuxi royal line, money is always the thing that’s worth the least.

“Then we have a deal” she said.

“I need your approval for them to fly to the palace villa” Gu Qing Shan said.

“As long as they have my email invitation, they won’t be stopped” the Empress nodded.

“Time is a bit tight, so I need you to put down the no-flight zone so they can land directly in front of the palace villa”

“Then I’ll need the master control, but once I use it, the entire palace’s defense system will be notified”

“Do it immediately, I’ll contact my partner” Gu Qing Shan answered.

He took out his Holo-Brain and contacted Zhang Ying Hao.

[What is it?] Zhang Ying Hao asked.

“I have a job for you” Gu Qing Shan replied.

[What job?]

“Protecting an important figure”

[Dude, my place is a hitman firm, not a security company] Zhang Ying Hao sighed and retorted.

“Then I have different job for you” Gu Qing Shan continued.

[Say it]

“Kill everyone that gets close to the target”
