The Empress's No.1 Lackey-Chapter 1153 - 625: Xuan Yin’s Decades-Old Scheme
What is this... Zhao Douan pushed the door open and saw a scene in the courtyard:
Under the night sky, Gongshu Tianyuan descended from the heavens, carrying an exaggeratedly shaped book box, standing with hands behind his back, exuding the aura of a master.
Under his feet, there lay a "corpse" prone on the ground.
The three-member group of paparazzi was dazed in the pavilion, Yu Xiu still holding an unfurled scroll, looking frustrated and dejected.
The Empress’s cold gaze sharply glanced at Yu Xiu, making the female Daoist’s back feel icy, giving her an illusion of being stripped bare and seen through.
"Pfft." Yu Xiu silently put away the scroll, restoring the resolute persona of the female Daoist.
"Brother Gongshu? What’s this..." Zhao Douan stepped forward happily, Gongshu Tianyuan’s arrival date was earlier than expected.
"Ah, Second Senior Sister, Junior Sisters, you are here too." Gongshu Tianyuan greeted the three ladies in the pavilion boldly, then crouched and leaped to the ground, unloading the large book box from his back with a bang, wiping the sweat off his forehead, looking as if he was exhausted, with his fat hands patting the book box twice, he laughed: "Brother Zhao, the Heavenly Element Cannon has been fully recharged and safely delivered. Haha, all the way I’ve been worried about delaying your important task."
Zhao Douan’s gaze fell on the book box, amazed that the enormous cannon had indeed been shrunk and squeezed into such a book box.
One can only marvel at the magic within this world.
However, he did not look at it again, but stepped forward, grabbing Gongshu Tianyuan’s hands, saying emotionally: "It’s just a single cannon, yet for this dead thing, Brother Gongshu has been so troubled, alas, better not have this cannon!"

Gongshu Tianyuan was extremely moved, feeling a surge of courage, emotionally said: "Brother Zhao, compared to the cannon, look at this fellow, what an unexpected joy."
Then, the fat magician kicked and flipped over the little monk who had been knocked unconscious.
"Tian Hai monk!?" The three-member group of Yu Xiu gathered around, saw the bald appearance, and was shocked.
Zhao Douan and the Empress were also stunned for a moment: "What’s going on?"
Gongshu Tianyuan proudly recounted how he discovered this person and captured him: "Haha, before leaving the capital, my master gave me some Thousand Illusion Powder for protection, which can disturb the Worldly Realm, though I didn’t expect this little bald donkey to get caught so easily, he seems much weaker than before."
Hmm, he was severely injured and escaped, it’s not surprising his cultivation is damaged... Zhao Douan was more concerned with:
How did this three-eyed fellow appear on Daluo Island?
He exchanged glances with the Empress, both seeing each other’s thoughts. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
"Hmm, how can he be awakened? Well, there are many eyes outside, I am going to interrogate this person." Zhao Douan said.
...
Moments later.
In a room of the residence, Zhao Douan and Xu Zhenguan looked at the little monk placed in a kneeling position, the former closed the door behind, and pointed at a certain acupuncture point on the other.
"Hmm..."
The little monk Tian Hai slowly awoke, his vision gradually clearing from the blur, at first confused, then recalled being ambushed in the alley, subconsciously reached for weapon, but was horrified to find himself bound.
"Do you remember me?"
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Tian Hai looked up and suddenly shivered!
His face first showed surprise and anger, then hatred: "Zhao Douan! You dog villain!"
He understood!
Realized his whereabouts were exposed, ambushed and kidnapped by Zhao Douan.
Tian Hai’s heart sank quickly, he originally planned to meet Prince Jing first, did not expect to fail so soon.
Zhao Douan frowned, retreated slightly, smiling: "Very well, very spirited. I accidentally let you escape back then, I have been looking all over for you, but unexpectedly, you came to me, why? Did Xuan Yin that old bald donkey send you?"
Tian Hai said nothing, blood-tears slowly seeped from the vertical eye on his forehead, his muscles suddenly bulged, and the ropes confining the cultivator squeaked, seemingly about to break!
"Boom!"
The Empress on the side snapped her fingers, a pea-sized Qi Mechanism from her fingertip hit the little monk’s Qi Sea.
Tian Hai screamed, spat a mouthful of blood, his breath withering, looking at her horrified.
"Tian Hai, I advise you to be honest, I have a good temper, but this person beside me especially dislikes you monks, so whatever I ask, you answer honestly, I may consider sparing you, but if you persist in ignorance..." Zhao Douan said arrogantly, backed by power.
"Pah!"
Tian Hai spat out a bloody spit, laughed miserably, knowing there’s no more way to live, his eyes resentful: "Dog villain! Don’t even think of getting a word from me, I only regret not being able to kill you back in Baihua Village!"
Their feud ran deep.
If starting at the Buddhist Tao competition, where Zhao Douan defeated Tian Hai with the Taia Sword, their conflict was still limited.
That siege at Baihua Village, plus the later destruction of the Divine Dragon Temple, completely pushed them to opposing sides.
Zhao Douan’s expression was strange: "You seem to have misjudged some things, I never considered you a rival, so don’t look at me with that adversary gaze, this official dislikes it. Besides, you don’t speak, I have other ways."
After finishing, he shouted outside the door: "Brother Gongshu, may I borrow the fox fairy?"
The door opened.
Gongshu Tianyuan came in carrying a large bamboo tube, standing it on the ground with a thud, reminding with a smile: "Although it’s not the first time using it, still have to remind, if using the fox fairy to interrogate this person, his life won’t remain."
Xu Zhenguan spoke coldly: "Interrogate."
