Imperial Treasure-Chapter 1015 - 607: Factions and Gate Valves

The voice was somewhat ethereal and hoarse.

Fu Zhuo was stunned for a moment, turned his face, and said indifferently: "I was asking you." 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"Is there a difference between this kind of question and an insult?"

After Sui Yi spoke, she gathered her hairband and gently bound her jet-black hair again.

"My swimming skills are considered excellent in the Jianghu, and although I can hold my breath for a long time, I found it quite challenging to swim here. But you... you seem to move effortlessly both in water and on land. Considering you could command fish in the water before... it seems you are hardly an ordinary person, are you?"

"That makes some sense. Then consider that I’m not human," Sui Yi casually said, inserting the Demon Que into the sword sheath.

Such perfunctory words.

"Do you think I’m a fool?" Fu Zhuo sneered.

"Do not impose on others what you yourself do not desire." Sui Yi’s single sentence caused Fu Zhuo’s expression to change repeatedly.

Indeed, she had also deceived Sui Yi about her swimming ability and intentionally dragged him underwater...

Silence ensued.

Suddenly, Fu Zhuo drew her sword and stabbed it into the water!

Splashes!

A figure emerged from the water, taking a few steps on the surface before landing on the ground seven or eight meters away.

Wasn’t it that delicate scholar Xie Jun? But look at this one’s sharp movement technique, clearly no longer the weak scholar appearance.

"The Demon Sect’s Sky-turning Shadow, seems like you are from the Demon Sect," Fu Zhuo coldly eyed the person, her fingers brushing over the long sword, its cold light glinting.

The scholar rose, with a smiling face, clasped his hands together, and bowed: "Disciple of the Demon Sect, Xie Jun, greets you two. I wonder which sect or school Lord Fu belongs to, to recognize my Demon Sect’s movement technique."

It seemed to suggest that Fu Zhuo also had a special identity.

"Your Demon Sect is world-renowned, the Heavenly Demon Strategy strides unparalleled across the Jianghu, and your other skills are also well-known. Recognizing one or two movement techniques is not unusual. I didn’t expect your Demon Sect to have its eyes set on Yang Gong’s Treasure though."

"Lord Fu jests, it was merely a coincidence. Naturally, I also thank Miss Sui for saving my life..."

Xie Jun deeply bowed towards Sui Yi, his eyes somewhat fervent.

Fu Zhuo could not miss the infatuation in his eyes and sneered.

"You’re welcome," Sui Yi said in a very flat tone, but her gaze towards Xie Jun was somewhat peculiar.

Demon Sect? Heavenly Demon Strategy?

Why did she feel these terms were so familiar... as if it was either Gong Jiu or the Flower Demon who mentioned them...

Maybe it was Eastern.

Back then, Eastern had just arrived in modern times, and when watching "Swordsman," they seemed to have brought it up in an argument...

So this is "Swordsman"?

Sui Yi pondered. (Even having sumptuous and elegant reading habits has its drawbacks, Miss Sui.)

Xie Jun didn’t notice Sui Yi’s gaze, just looked at her deeply, cupped his hands, "Farewell to you two."

Then he leaped into the forest and vanished.

Sui Yi was about to ask when she suddenly heard Fu Zhuo say something towards Xie Jun’s disappearing form.

"This Xie Jun’s inner strength is insufficient, only barely middle-to-lower second rate, but his movement technique is very high. He should be part of the Demon Sect’s scouts, under the jurisdiction of the witch Wanwan. Perhaps it won’t be long before you end up on the Demon Sect’s watchlist."

This remark had an air of caution.

Demon Sect’s Wanwan.

Sui Yi finally saw the light.

Great Tang... What dragon?

What kind of world is this!

Sui Yi’s stunned state lasted only a moment. She then looked towards Fu Zhuo: "You act as if you don’t worry about the Demon Sect seeing you as an enemy?"

"That’s my affair." Fu Zhuo got up, shook off the water from her body, and looked in the direction of Yuwen Huaji’s army.

"I think they will catch up soon. Follow me."

Sui Yi followed her into the house where she had stayed for many days.

What secret there was in this house, she had not explored, because it was Fu Zhuo’s house. Out of moral principle, she did not want to pry into the other’s secrets. So when Fu Zhuo pressed the mechanism, revealing a hidden passage under the floor, Sui Yi looked at Fu Zhuo.

She did not ask.

However, Fu Zhuo had already descended into the dark passage, and Sui Yi followed her down. The door of the passage closed, and Fu Zhuo took a torch off the wall and lit it. As the light spread, Sui Yi followed the stairs and saw the underground chamber and the passage leading out of it.

At that moment, under the faint firelight, with Fu Zhuo facing away from her, she ripped off a facial skin, revealing a face full of courage and allure, about a little over twenty years old, not fair-skinned, but still sharp, yet ultimately a true feminine visage.

"Fu Junnuo, a Goryeo person. Yang Guang reneged on his word, invaded Goryeo twice, leaving Goryeo’s people in dire straits. Three years ago, I infiltrated Yuhang, assuming the identity of Fu Zhuo to trace and assassinate Yang Guang on his inspection of the Grand Canal. Unfortunately, I found numerous masters surrounded the scoundrel, especially Yuwen Huaji, with elite soldiers and cunning villains. I couldn’t find a chance to act, nor was I willing to return to Goryeo like this. Coincidentally, I learned Yang Guang and Yuwen Huaji were conspiring against Yang Su... Once Yang Su, who reached the pinnacle of power, dies, chaos in the Great Sui Dynasty would inevitably erupt within these two years. And Yang Guang essentially loses that arm of support..."
