Chapter 618 The Changbai Chess Game: The Divine Needle Displays its Power
Looking at Wu Xie, Gao Dongxu couldn't help but wonder what Wu Sansheng's expression and feelings would be when he found out that Wu Xie had joined 749.

I'm sure his mental state will completely collapse.

It should be understood that for the past twenty-five years, all his plans have been aimed at desperately trying to keep the Nine Gates away from, escape from, and break through 'it', struggling and fighting to give the new generation of the Nine Gates, especially Wu Xie, a free space to live.

However, now, everything he did has become a joke, and the thing he feared, which almost became a nightmare, has long been forgotten in the corners of history.

All his sacrifices and efforts came to naught; his beloved nephew ultimately became one of the organization's members.

Well, hopefully Wu Sansheng won't die of anger after finding out.

"Boss, what about Hei Xiazi? Are you planning to recruit him too?" Fatty Wang looked at Hei Xiazi, who was bound hand and foot by the campfire, and thought of the scene where Hei Xiazi flew to save him in the tomb. He wanted to plead for Hei Xiazi.

"Take him in? Ha! I never expected that. He has too many secrets. He won't trust the organization." Gao Dongxu shook his head and chuckled.

"Then... are we really going to send him to jail?" Fatty Wang asked cautiously, observing Gao Dongxu's expression.

"Hehe, he saved you in the tomb?" Gao Dongxu asked with a smile as if he knew everything.

"As expected, nothing can be hidden from you, Boss. I didn't like him at first, but I was almost cleaved in two by the Ghost General's blade. Luckily, he risked his life to save me and took the blow for me," Fatty Wang nodded in acknowledgment.

"Hehe, don't worry, I never intended to do anything to him. However, we need him to come with us to the Heavenly Palace on the top of Changbai Mountain." Gao Dongxu didn't hide anything from Wu Xie and Fatty Wang and directly stated his purpose.

"The Heavenly Palace on the Clouds?!"

Wu Xie and Fatty Wang both exclaimed in surprise.

“Yes, that’s the starting point and the crux of the six-hundred-year-old mystery set up by Wang Zanghai, and the information recorded on the Snake-Eyebrow Bronze Fish is about the Heavenly Palace on the Cloud Top,” Gao Dongxu said.

"Haha, we're going to be rich this time! The wealth accumulated by the fourteen generations of the Eastern Xia Kings must be a mountain of gold!" Fatty Wang said excitedly, rubbing his hands together. He squinted his eyes and suggested, "When the time comes, let's bring more people and just move it all out!"

"More people would be more troublesome. It would be easy to move everything out. With Gao Shao around, we could take away even a mountain of gold." Wu Xie rolled his eyes at Fatty Wang and reminded him.

"Snapped--"

"Look at my pig brain, how could I forget the leader's amazing abilities?" Fatty Wang slapped his forehead and said in annoyance.

“We need to prepare well for this trip to the Heavenly Palace on the Clouds. I believe that, apart from us, all the forces that possess the Snake-Eyebrow Bronze Fish will go to Changbai Mountain. In other words, there is a very high chance that your third uncle will go.” Gao Dongxu said to Wu Xie.

Wu Xie nodded, his eyes bright, and said, "I have a feeling he will definitely go."

"Boss, when are we going?" Fatty Wang asked with a sly grin, his eyes gleaming with a thieving light.

“In May, after the weather warms up, Changbai Mountain is still covered in ice and snow, making it inconvenient to move around,” Gao Dongxu said.

"What if other forces act before us?" Wu Xie asked, frowning.

"Hehe, don't worry, as long as you don't move, your third uncle won't move either. If your third uncle doesn't move, then Jude Kao and the other forces won't move either."

"Wu Xie, you are the focus of attention from all sides. This is exactly what your third uncle wants to achieve." Gao Dongxu looked at Wu Xie and smiled.

Wu Xie smiled wryly. Fatty Wang looked at Wu Xie with some worry, then his eyes lit up and he changed the subject, saying, "I wonder if Zhang Qiling will go."

"Don't worry, he'll definitely go, and he knows that place better than anyone else..." Gao Dongxu said with a meaningful smile.

Wu Xie and Fatty Wang exchanged a glance but didn't press the matter. Having spent a long time with Gao Dongxu, they had come to understand his temperament and personality to some extent. If he was willing to talk about something, he would tell them without being asked; if he wasn't, asking wouldn't make a difference.

"Alright, go and get something to eat. After you've eaten and drunk your fill, get a good night's sleep. We'll leave here tomorrow," Gao Dongxu said to the two with a smile.

"Okay." The two nodded and walked towards the campfire.

Gao Dongxu then headed towards the tent where the two women, Ru Xin and Ru Qing, and the black-robed man from the Wang family were located.

"Wait for me, I'll go with you—"

Just as he was about to reach for the tent zipper, he heard A-Ning's voice behind him. Gao Dongxu turned around and smiled at A-Ning's delicate and beautiful face, which was about the size of a palm, as she walked quickly toward him. He said softly, "It's fine to come together, but don't make a sound and disturb the two sisters."

"Mm." Ah Ning nodded, her bright, deep eyes filled with curiosity.

Gao Dongxu unzipped the tent, took A Ning's hand, walked into the tent, and then casually zipped it up.

When Aning entered the tent, she stared in surprise as Ruxin and Ruqing, who were only wearing a black vest and black shorts, were expressionless and focused on inserting silver needles into the head and feet of the mysterious black-robed man who was lying flat on the folding bed and wearing only underwear.

"How do you create that kind of puppet?"

Gao Dongxu, with his arm around A Ning, whose pretty face was full of shock, walked closer and, after watching Ru Xin insert a silver needle into the man's face, asked in a cold tone devoid of any emotion.

"First... we need to use the 'medicinal corpse method' to process the corpse... We need to coat the entire body with preservatives and deodorizing agents, and then administer a potion that can bring the corpse back to life, activating the cerebellum... allowing the corpse to retain consciousness and the ability to move its limbs for a short period of time. But..." Listening to the mysterious man's intermittent words, Ah Ning saw that the mysterious man, whose eyes were tightly closed, was covered in sweat, his brows furrowed, and he seemed to be in great pain.

"Four needles on the palm, Daling point—"

Ruqing, who was standing to the side, inserted the silver needles that had been heated with an alcohol lamp into the mysterious man's palm.

The mysterious man's closed eyes trembled incessantly, and he was drenched in sweat.

"However... it should be noted that this potion does not activate the brain, so the corpse cannot speak and remains expressionless..."

"What's the formula for the antiseptic and deodorizing potion?" Ru Xin asked expressionlessly as she inserted a silver needle into the acupoints on the other person's face.

"The recipe is... is..."

Ah Ning watched in utter shock as the mysterious man answered all her questions under the acupuncture of the Ru Xin and Ru Qing sisters. Every time the mysterious man hesitated or struggled, the two sisters would insert the needles again without hesitation. By this time, the mysterious man's face was almost covered with silver needles.

"Tell me the recipe for the potion that grants a final burst of energy before death—"

"The recipe is..."

The mysterious man was now at his limit. His face was deathly pale, and he was sweating profusely. His whole body began to tremble, and his face showed an expression of extreme pain.

"Tell me the formula for the potion—" Ru Xin urged again, while Ru Qing lifted the mysterious man's bare foot and inserted a silver needle into the sole of his foot.

"what--"

The mysterious figure let out a shrill scream that sounded inhuman, sending chills down A Ning's spine.

"Tell me the formula for the potion—"

"The recipe is, is—"

As the names of one rare herb after another were announced, Ruxin and Ruqing visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

The next moment, the mysterious man began to tremble even more violently, and blood began to flow from his seven orifices, especially from his closed eyes, from which two lines of bloody tears flowed, making him look extremely terrifying.

"He's not going to make it—" Ru Xin picked up a towel and wiped the sweat from her forehead, saying wearily to Gao Dongxu.

"Thank you for your hard work." Gao Dongxu didn't care about the mysterious man's life or death at all, and said softly to the two sisters.

"This is the entire interrogation recording—" Ru Qing handed two recording pens to Gao Dongxu, then wiped her sweat and sat down on a folding chair, stretching out her long, slender, white legs and resting without any regard for her image.

"Who are they?" Aning took two bottles of mineral water from the table next to her, unscrewed them, and handed them to Ruxin and Ruqing, asking curiously.

"Gudong Gudong——"

The two sisters took the water and began to drink it down in one gulp. After finishing half the bottle, Ruqing wiped her red lips and said, "They come from a family founded by Wang Zanghai six hundred years ago. They call themselves the Wang family..."

Ah Ning looked shocked, her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief, as Ru Qing continued, "However, these people are just peripheral members and don't know much about the Wang family's secrets. They only know that this family is not maintained by blood ties, but by faith."

The Wang family's belief is to destroy the Zhang family, take their place, and obtain the secrets of immortality and ultimate power.

“The Zhang family? The ultimate?!” Ah Ning asked, her brows furrowed.

"Well, but he doesn't know what the ultimate is either," Ru Xin said with a hint of helplessness.

"What are their professional identities? Are they controlling robots or corpses?" Gao Dongxu didn't rush to listen to the recording, but instead asked the two sisters.

"Their ancestors were corpse drivers from western Hunan, possessing the ability to control corpses. However, with the development of technology, various means of transportation, and a well-developed road network, their profession declined. They also began to combine their corpse-driving techniques with modern high-tech technology to create semi-flesh, semi-mechanical puppets that can track and attack..." Ru Xin explained to Gao Dongxu.

"So that's how it is. They're just a bunch of tech geeks. At first, I thought they had some world-leading robotics technology, but it turns out they're using the secret art of corpse transportation. That's quite interesting."

Gao Dongxu raised an eyebrow and smiled, but he was somewhat disappointed. Fortunately, a few intact puppets were left behind, which he could study carefully.

"boom--"

Seeing the two sisters drenched in sweat, Gao Dongxu took out a wooden bathtub filled with hot water from his spatial storage and said with a smile, "You two take a hot bath and relax—"

Looking at the bathtub, Ah Ning also began to feel a little unwell and asked, "Are there any more bathtubs? I haven't bathed for several days."

"Yes—" Gao Dongxu chuckled and took out a steaming wooden bathtub full of hot water from his spatial storage. He put his arm around A Ning's slender waist, and amidst A Ning's playful pushes and coquettish replies, he looked at the two sisters, Ru Xin and Ru Qing, and said with a smile, "I'll scrub your backs—"

Those who were close to the heart and soul naturally knew what kind of person Gao Dongxu was. The back rubbing was just an excuse; the real purpose was to rub him. Of course, they were happy to do it.
