Chapter 2372 - 2375: Secrets, the True Mastermind!

Just as Dark Department's Xiu Ju watched the prodigy Chu Xiaotian walk out looking cute, and continued refining elixir pills for free for Shen Qiang without stepping out, Shen Qiang, who had smoothly settled many things among alchemists, was frowning deeply while sending messages.

In the circle of alchemists, Chu Xiaotian might be considered a person of significance; a hundred alchemists causing trouble might also be seen as a big deal in the Cultivation World. But for the current Shen Qiang, this was just trivial, not worth the effort to consider.

Because in the face of absolute power, all schemes are merely jokes!

Moreover, compared to the exposed fake treasury, which cannot be delayed, immediate remedial action is necessary. If a real problem arises and he is identified as a false Dragon Emperor, a fraud, then it will be as hard as ascending to heaven to make those sea demons obey in the future.

So this is more important than collecting the other six keys and searching for the spaceship.

Because those two matters can be done slowly, but this one is urgent.

"There is no perfect and flawless deception in the world, so deceivers must disappear immediately after succeeding to avoid collision with absolute power."

Shen Qiang frowned, but after sending the message, he showed a slight smile.

"The fake can never become real, but a real master of deception can do whatever he pleases!"

After sending the message.

Shen Qiang got up and went downstairs.

Upon reaching downstairs, he saw the stunning Song Weiyin chatting leisurely with Abi, Xin Xiaoting, Ke Bizhu, and several other women in the back garden.

But at this time, the butler Gui Shu and Mermaid Princess Jinli Qianning were both waiting in the downstairs living room with grave expressions.

"Shen Qiang, I've received news from the Sea Clan that there's a rumor circulating everywhere that you are an imposter Dragon Emperor, and some young great sea demons seem unconvinced, some trouble might arise."

Facing the anxious Jinli Qianning with a smile, Shen Qiang said, "Don't worry, nothing will happen. If you truly want to help, just make a statement within the Sea Clan. Hmm, just to say how we smashed the Atlantic City Temple, and how the Sea Emperor stomped his foot in anger yet was helpless."

Qianning froze: "Shen Qiang, you're in trouble now. Does saying this help?"

Shen Qiang smiled, thoughtfully said: "You tell Bianyi about what happened, he will help you draft the statement, then you just need to post it, and you're doing me a big favor."

Qianning was puzzled.

But Gui Shu understood, smiled and said: "The biggest evidence circulating now about Shen Qiang not being the Dragon Emperor is from the Sea Emperor's letter and his statement. If all the Sea Clan knows Shen Qiang smashed his temple and resurrected the War Goddess Athena, then it means Shen Qiang is stronger than the Sea Emperor."

"Not only that, the sea demons would speculate that the Sea Emperor's words might be him deliberately twisting facts, to create rumors and stir trouble, because his statements did not mention anything about the Temple, about the War Goddess Athena."

Upon hearing this, the stunning Qianning's eyes brightened: "I understand, in this way, the sea demons won't find the Sea Emperor's words credible."

Gui Shu smiled and said: "Then go ahead."

"Ke Bizhu!"

At this moment, waving his hand, Shen Qiang used True Yuan to open the back window and called the Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon, saying: "You accompany Qianning to Heshenghe Building to meet Bianyi."

"Okay." Ke Bizhu responded quickly.

Then, under the shy gaze of the stunning Song Weiyin, Shen Qiang smiled as he closed the window. After Jinli Qianning and Ke Bizhu left.

He invited Gui Shu to sit down, then personally brewed the tea, and after pouring the tea for Gui Shu, calmly said: "I want to become the real Dragon Emperor, but you should know, in reality, now I only have Fetal Dragon Essence Foundation Establishment. I can light up the Dragon Palace but have no way to open the Dragon Emperor's treasury."

Upon hearing this, the old butler Gui Shu, after sipping his tea, remained silent for a moment, then said.

"Boss, there are actually many things you cannot accomplish. When the real Dragon Emperor sits on the Dragon Throne, not only can he control things within the Four Seas, but he can also instantly reach other Dragon Palaces by leveraging the existence of the Four Seas Dragon Palace."

Shen Qiang was shocked, and his eyes brightened.

Instantaneous Movement!

This is an incredible ability.

And while Shen Qiang was thrilled, Gui Shu calmly said: "You cannot achieve this because you are not truly of the Dragon Clan, but human."

Hearing these words like a basin of cold water over his head, Shen Qiang's eyes immediately brightened, saying: "Did you come to Heshenghe originally because you knew I used Fetal Dragon Essence Foundation Establishment?"

Gui Shu smiled, placed the tea cup, then looked at Shen Qiang, calmly said: "Yes, not only that, the Fetal Dragon Essence was anonymously auctioned by me a thousand years ago through Cheng Xinyi."

Shen Qiang froze, then said in surprise: "If my memory is correct, I should have gotten that Fetal Dragon Essence from Heshenghe Auctions."

Gui Shu smiled, drank tea, then calmly said: "That Fetal Dragon Essence has actually changed hands twenty-seven times over the past thousand years."

Shen Qiang frowned, thoughtfully looked at Gui Shu and said: "You are not protecting me, but have been protecting the Fetal Dragon Essence all along?"

Gui Shu was silent for a long time, smiled and said: "Now I am protecting you because you and it have merged into one."

"Is this important?" Shen Qiang said surprised.

Gui Shu smiled, suddenly broke his usual reserve, not only crossing his legs but also smilingly raised his teacup, saying: "Because once you merge together, you are the young master of my Dragon Emperor, your father is the Dragon Emperor."

Pfft!

Feeling Gui Shu was a bit eccentric, Shen Qiang, who was also drinking tea, sprayed directly.

Seeing Shen Qiang awkwardly wipe the tea from in front of him.

Gui Shu smiled, calmly said: "The young master died, but the essence remains. Reviving him, ordinarily, is impossible, but fortunately, humans are bizarre; they actually can cultivate using the essence and possess the abilities inherent to the essence."

Looking at Shen Qiang, Gui Shu's face showed a genuine big boss expression.

"But the previous twenty-six essence owners were all disappointing. Three of them were alchemists who wanted to use the essence in pill refinement and all were killed by me, later, five foolish individuals tried to hide the essence as heirloom, another bizarre guy wanted the essence to accompany him in burial, hmm, that is Ji Wei's former master, an emperor, also a bastard whom I killed, so Ji Wei knows me."

"Did you kill them all?" Shen Qiang exclaimed.

Gui Shu smiled, leaned back on the sofa, calmly looked at Shen Qiang and said: "These things really shouldn't be told to you now, because according to my plan, it should have waited until you had the capability to independently confront the Sea Emperor before telling you. But now, besides achieving the resurrection purpose of the young master in another form, everything has already gone beyond control."
