I looked in the direction of Shui Linglong’s eyes and saw only a pillar in the Water God Temple.

Shui Linglong sneered, "When it comes to eavesdropping, I could be your ancestor. How dare you try to show off in front of me?"

Shui Linglong waited for a moment after she finished speaking, but there was still no response from the other side. In an instant, she was furious: "Since you don't appreciate my kindness, then stay here!"

With a wave of Shui Linglong’s hand, the pool water turned into a curved blade and slashed towards the stone pillar.

I watched as a figure was knocked to the ground amidst the splashing water and immediately drew my scimitar to stop him.

But the man quickly got up and rushed towards the temple gate, but before he could open it, a curtain of water fell from the eaves of the temple.

The other party was obviously stunned for a moment before trying to force his way out.

The next second, he was punched back from the door by a fist made of water.

Shui Linglong sneered, "This place is full of water. Wherever there is water, I am king."

"You don't have Ye Yang's ability to transform into the Five Great Emperors. Do you think you can escape from my hands?"

The man got up from the ground and shouted anxiously, "Hall Master Li, I am Gui Kui! I am Gui Kui! Give our Commander some face and spare me!"

"Gui Kui?" I looked at the other party for a long time. His appearance was somewhat similar to Gui Kui, with a big head and a small body. However, his height was much shorter than Gui Kui's.

It would definitely be no problem for Gui Kui to fit him inside.

Moreover, this person was clearly a soul body.

I walked up and said, "How can you prove that you are Gui Kui?"

Gui Kui quickly recounted our experiences along the way, focusing on the important parts.

Only then did I believe the other party's identity.

Gui Kui is a puppeteer. The appearance he has been showing us is probably his mechanical puppet. His real body has always been hidden inside the puppet.

I said in a deep voice, "Why are you here? Tell me the truth!"

Gui Kui quickly explained how he was knocked down by Ye Yang on the boat.

It turned out that this guy was deliberately trying to anger Ye Yang in order to find a suitable reason to escape so that he could come and monitor me.

I slowly walked towards Gui Kui and said, "You are Gui Kui? You don't look like it!"

Gui Kui said anxiously, "How can I not look like it? I am..."

Gui Kui's expression changed drastically halfway through his words, "You want to kill me?"

I drew my twin blades and sneered, "You are already dead, so just die completely, right? Why should I send you back?"

"No... I will definitely keep my mouth shut. No, I didn't see anything." Just as Gui Kui was about to beg for mercy, my twin blades had already crossed and chopped down, splitting the other party's soul into four pieces.

The severed ghost instantly turned into phosphorescent fire, but I was still not at ease and carefully inspected it for a long time before putting away my twin blades.

It's not that I'm too careful, but because puppeteers are one of the most difficult types of people to kill in the art world. If his soul escapes, he may transform into someone else's appearance and reappear before your eyes.

As soon as I turned around, I saw Shui Linglong smiling coldly at me. Before I understood why Shui Linglong was laughing, I saw her long, water-soaked hair flying towards my face.

I just touched the hilt of my knife with both hands and then put them back in place, letting Shui Linglong's hair hit my face.

There was murderous intent in Shui Linglong's eyes, but this murderous intent was not directed at me.

This was an opportunity for me to build trust with Shui Linglong. I could gamble my life, or I could give up.

I chose the former.

When the tips of Shui Linglong's hair were half an inch away from touching the tip of my nose, they suddenly split in two in the middle and swept past both sides of my cheeks. I also heard Gui Kui's screams behind me.

I squatted down slightly to avoid Shui Linglong's long hair. When I turned my head to look again, I saw Gui Kui being dragged out of the door by Shui Linglong.

Shui Linglong sneered, "I told you a long time ago, don't try to show off in front of me. You are not my opponent. Why don't you listen?"

Gui Kui grabbed the ground with both hands and screamed in despair, "Li Po, you have an agreement with our Commander. We have a cooperative relationship. You can't kill me!"

I squatted down and looked at Gui Kui and said, "When I made the contract with Zhu Xiaoyu, I didn't say that we couldn't attack each other. It's better if you don't think too much about some things!"

As I spoke, I drew my knife and chopped off Gui Kui's fingers. As Gui Kui's eight fingers flew off at the same time, he was dragged backwards by Shui Linglong's long hair and fell towards Shui Linglong's mouth.

I watched as Shui Linglong tore Gui Kui into pieces and put them into her mouth one by one.

This is how gods and ghosts are. They can only become stronger by constantly devouring each other.

Shui Linglong's way of eating is already considered elegant.

After Shui Linglong finished eating, she said to me, "I know almost everything about this guy's memories. Do you want me to pretend to be him and stay by your side?"

I hesitated for a moment before shaking my head and said, "No, Zhu Xiaoyu is very shrewd. If you go back, she might easily see through the flaws. I can pretend to be confused and kill her people, and she can also pretend to know nothing and kill my people. I don't want to take that risk."

Shui Linglong couldn't help but laugh and said, "Am I your person? Haha..."
