Zuan smiled slightly: "It wasn't me who solved it, but us all. If it weren't for your help, I'm afraid I would have been cut in two by that monster long ago."

Jing Teng's lips curled up slightly, and his mood suddenly improved.

Qiu Honglei bowed to her and said, "Miss Jing, thank you for saving Azu. I apologize for any offense I may have caused you before. Please don't take it to heart."

For some reason, seeing her looking at Zu An with such affection made Jing Teng even more irritated: "I want to save him, what does it have to do with you? And why are you coming out to thank him on his behalf?"

Qiu Honglei raised an eyebrow. Was this woman clearly trying to oppose her?

Wait a minute, her tone of voice sounds so much like Ah Zu's.

At this moment, Zu An coughed lightly and quickly changed the subject: "What other monsters are there next, Miss Jing? Please tell us roughly so that we won't be caught off guard if we suddenly encounter them."

Jing Teng shook his head, looking troubled, and said, "I don't know either."

Weisso exclaimed, "You knew all the information about the Death Reaper, but why didn't you know anything else?"

Qiu Honglei looked at her suspiciously. This woman seemed to have told almost nothing truth from beginning to end. Was she plotting something or just being deliberately mysterious?

Jing Teng explained, "As I told you before, I have lost some memories. I only remembered some things because I saw that monster. Maybe if I encounter any monsters next, I will be able to recover some of my memories."

"I see." The group nodded to each other in agreement.

Qiu Honglei secretly transmitted her voice: "Grandpa, this Jing Teng is a bit strange. If she is really just a vine enlightened by Immortal Lord Baopu, then she knows far too much."

“It is indeed a bit strange, but so far she doesn’t seem to have any ill intentions. We just need to be careful,” Zuan replied.

"How do you know she meant no harm? She just thinks she's pretty." Qiu Honglei snorted. Speaking of emotions, they're strange things. Just a moment ago she was genuinely grateful to Jing Teng for her help, but now she finds all sorts of things disagreeable about her.

Seeing the string of angry comments popping up in the background, Zuan couldn't help but chuckle.

Soon the group continued into the tomb. The walls around the tomb were carved with various exquisite reliefs, which seemed to depict scenes of battles, travel, and sacrificial rites.

However, what's strange is that none of these murals have heads. If it were due to weathering over a long period of time, it wouldn't be that only the heads are affected.

But if it was deliberately removed, what was the purpose of doing so?

"Miss Jing, do you know the origin of these murals?" Zu An looked at Jing Teng beside him. Her face was as if it had been drawn with a single stroke, her skin was delicate and flawless, and her eyebrows were like the beauty of a mountain in spring. It has to be said that she was indeed very beautiful.

Qiu Honglei quietly pricked up her ears. Although she was a little annoyed by the two chatting, she was also curious about whether these murals held any secrets.

Jing Teng gently covered his forehead: "No, I have no recollection of these murals at all."

"Miss Jing, what's wrong?" Seeing her distressed appearance, Wei Suo couldn't help but ask.

Jing Teng shook his head: "It's nothing, my head just hurts a little."

Zuan and Qiu Honglei exchanged a glance. Could it be that as they went deeper into the tomb, she regained more and more of her memories?

Just then, Zu'an suddenly felt a chill, his hair stood on end, and he stared at the distance with a grim expression.

A mocking voice rang out: "What a coincidence, my Lord Shen."

Zhao Hao stood not far away, hands behind his back, watching him with a cold smile.

Li Changsheng and Xuan Bajing stood on either side, their expressions as smug as could be. They couldn't be the only ones being bullied, little rascal, it's your turn now!

Upon seeing Zhao Hao and his group, Qiu Honglei's face turned bitter. She knew that the Demonic Sect and the imperial court were enemies, and the Demonic Sect had even attempted to assassinate the emperor in the palace. Seeing them here now meant that the situation was likely dire.

Jing Teng didn't recognize Zhao Hao, but he could sense the unfathomable aura emanating from him. He also noticed that Zu An and Qiu Honglei were tense all over, something he had never seen them so nervous on the way here.

"So it's the Emperor. What a destined encounter! The world is so big, yet we met so easily," Zu'an exclaimed, while also wondering why the other party had gone ahead to explore the tomb.

Jing Teng's heart skipped a beat. The Emperor?

Where in this world is there an emperor?

Long, long ago, there were emperors in this world, but now it has been divided for a long time, with small kingdoms, various lords, and city lords ruling everywhere, and the concept of an emperor is almost disappearing into the long river of history.

“You should have seen me long ago,” Zhao Hao explained, as if reading his mind. “I was originally supposed to lead the charge, but after entering, I discovered that this great tomb contains many powerful restrictions and monsters, some of which even I find troublesome. If I were to rush to the front again, wouldn’t I be working for those behind me? Do they even deserve it?”

“Your Majesty is right.” Zu’an sighed. “Sending those people ahead would actually help you scout the way. Why didn’t I think of that?”

Zhao Hao is a cunning and ruthless man who won't act until he sees the benefits; how could he possibly do something for someone else?

Seeing the other party's dejected expression, Zhao Hao felt extremely pleased: "I was thinking that since Li Changsheng and Xuan Bajing were able to come to this world, then most of you people are probably here as well. And this great tomb is the place that has recently attracted the whole world, so most of you are probably here as well. I was thinking of waiting here for them to come to me, but I didn't expect to actually find them."

He paused and looked around at Zuan: "Huh, why are there only the two of you? Where is the others?"
