I am the Clone of a Death Row Inmate

”Describe the monster’s appearance in detail,” the Sacred Envoy said.

The maidservants and guards, their faces filled with terror, recounted what they had seen.

”Half-tree, half-human? Could it be Feng Bqing from the Filth Earth Organization?” Chen Suifeng suddenly asked.

The Sacred Envoy of Mu Country glanced at Chen Suifeng but didn’t respond.

He felt that Chen Suifeng was highly suspicious and might be connected to today’s incident.

Chen Suifeng showing up in Mu Country for an inspection out of the blue was already strange enough. On top of that, the Muguo Imperial Palace had been perfectly safe until today. For an incident to happen now, of all times... no matter how he looked at it, Chen Suifeng was a prime suspect.

However, it was just a suspicion. Without evidence, the Sacred Envoy of Mu Country couldn’t say anything.

...

Su Ze and Mr. Ya didn’t dare linger in Qinggu City. The two fled and found a guesthouse to rest and recover.

This was mainly because Su Ze was in bad shape.

Having lost half of his body and soul, he was severely injured. His head was splitting with pain, and to make matters worse, he had no Regeneration Core to help him recover.

To ensure the plan’s success, he had destroyed his Regeneration Core and used up the Earth Core Potato beforehand. He could only rely on the effects of his ”Regeneration Body” to slowly heal.

He didn’t even dare to revert from his liquid state, as it significantly lessened the effects of his severe injuries.

Although he had paid a steep price, Su Ze felt it was worth it. At the very least, he had eliminated the hidden danger of the parasitic egg in his soul, which allowed him to breathe a sigh of relief. Otherwise, it would have felt like a heavy stone was constantly weighing on his heart.

Furthermore, his other gains were quite substantial: two Bloodline Crystals and the King of Mu’s Storage Ring. He hadn’t even had a chance to examine the ring’s contents yet.

Su Ze didn’t plan on absorbing the Bloodline Crystals for now. Even though the golden Bloodline Crystal was something he had always dreamed of—one that could complete his ”Divine Grace of Evolution” skill—he didn’t dare to absorb it immediately.

’I have a bit of trauma with Bloodline Crystals now.’ He planned to have the Mother Tree take a look at it for him. Only after confirming there wasn’t some old schemer lying dormant inside, waiting to possess him, would he dare to absorb it.

Therefore, he decided to make another trip to the Miracle Oasis on his way back and have the Mother Tree take a look.

While resting here, Su Ze also planned to inspect the King of Mu’s Storage Ring to see if there were any items inside that could be tracked.

The contents of the King of Mu’s Storage Ring were surprisingly sparse. It was clean and straightforward, and he could see everything at a glance.

There were no vials or jars of evolution drugs. The few natural medicines present were almost all ones Su Ze recognized as treatments for soul injuries.

’The King of Mu suffered a severe soul injury?’

’What a coincidence...’ Su Ze picked up one of the natural medicines and started gnawing on it. He happened to be suffering from a severe soul injury as well, so this was just what he needed.

The medicines the King of Mu had collected were all of high quality. After consuming a few of them, Su Ze immediately felt the pain in his soul lessen considerably.

Besides these medicines, there wasn’t a single wondrous item or extract in the King of Mu’s Storage Ring.

’The dignified ruler of a nation is this poor?’

Su Ze was a little disappointed, but when he glimpsed an object tucked away among the natural medicines, his heart suddenly skipped a beat. His mouth fell open and his eyes widened in shock.

He saw something vaguely familiar... a puzzle piece!

Su Ze picked up the puzzle piece. It was a fragmented piece made of bluestone. Su Ze had seen a similar piece once before, inside the box left behind by the legendary Lin Hua.

According to the legendary Lin Hua, there were four puzzle pieces in total. The one Su Ze now held was one of those four.

Another quarter of the puzzle was currently in the hands of Mr. Ke.

In the message left by the legendary Lin Hua, it was said that one could gain something from the mysterious inheritance with just a single puzzle piece.

However, obtaining this piece didn’t make Su Ze want to venture to the place of inheritance. If this piece could truly yield something good, the King of Mu would have already taken it.

Wait...

Su Ze suddenly thought of the golden Bloodline Crystal.

’Could this be what the King of Mu obtained from the place of inheritance?’
