At this time, Lü Buwei shouted loudly: "Lao Ai! Now we are both weak and alone. Why don't we work together to kill the emperor first, and then we can compete again?"
"That's great! Then let's attack together!"
At this time, Lao Ai had no choice but to agree to cooperate with Lu Buwei, because if he didn't do so, the consequences would be very serious, and he would really have no way out!
So at this time, Lao Ai put aside his pride and had no choice but to cooperate in order to survive.
At this moment, Lu Buwei and Lao Ai were both trying their best to attack. As a result, the emperor was unable to take care of both ends, so he finally gave Lu Buwei a chance to escape.
Lu Buwei escaped without caring about Lao Ai's life or death, but Lao Ai still wanted to fight, but was finally dragged down by the emperor and could not escape. He eventually died under the siege of a group of gods!
After Lu Buwei returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, he immediately summoned all his confidants to escape on the teleportation array. This teleportation array did not lead to the Endless Sea at all, but directly led to the border of Zhao State. The reason why it was announced to the outside world that it could lead to the Endless Sea was to conceal the truth.
By the time the emperor killed Lao Ai and had time to deal with Lu Buwei, the prime minister's mansion was deserted, leaving only a destroyed teleportation array.
"Damn it! Lao Ai showed up midway, wasting all my hard work! After this breakthrough, Lü Buwei will live for tens of thousands of years longer. Do I really have to endure this any longer?"
What the emperor could not tolerate the most was that Lu Buwei was alive, because as long as he was alive, he would have to bear the title of "Yafu". These were the two words he least wanted to hear. He felt it was a shame. Only when Lu Buwei died, he would be completely at peace!
But now Lü Buwei must have fled to Zhao State, which was like letting a tiger return to the mountain. So the emperor wanted Bai Qi to destroy Zhao State as soon as possible! In order to deal with Lü Buwei, he had to lead the army himself, and the matter of Long Junhai had to be put on hold, allowing Zhao Gao to closely observe every move in the palace.
At this moment, Long Junhai had been studying in the Hall of Light for a long time. The big Buddha was moved away by him. He looked at the lotus throne, but didn't know how to activate the formation. Even if he asked Leng Yu to come out and study together, there was still no progress.
"This is indeed a teleportation array, but I don't know how to open it, and I don't have any way." Leng Yu said helplessly.
"What should we do? We don't have much time left. Lao Ai is dead, and the emperor has led an expedition to Zhao State in person. The palace is now managed by Zhao Gao, but Zhao Gao is seriously injured and has been recuperating in the palace. The people outside are just patrolling minions. Although they won't find us for a while, they may still be found after a long time!" Long Junhai was a little anxious because he really didn't know how to activate this teleportation array.
"This teleportation array hasn't been opened for tens of thousands of years. Unless we can find someone who has taken this teleportation array, it really cannot be opened." Leng Yu said.
"Be careful! Someone is coming!" Long Junhai's soul power is highly sensitive, so he can sense the movement outside very promptly.
Leng Yu immediately entered Long Junhai's space ring, and Long Junhai turned into a speck of dust.
At this time, four people came out of the door, two of them were seriously injured and the other two were slightly injured.
"Brother, how is your injury?"
"They are all minor injuries. They will be fine after a few days of recuperation. By the way, how are the injuries of my second and third brothers?"
"I don't know. My second and third brothers have been unconscious. Their true essence was shattered by that bastard Lao Ai, and their souls have been severely damaged. They are still in the stage of self-repair. It will probably take at least a year and a half for them to wake up."
"No matter what, Lao Ai has been eliminated. The only thing left is Lu Buwei. Once Lu Buwei dies, we brothers will no longer serve in the palace. It would be better to find an unknown mountain and live in seclusion in peace and leisure."
These four men are the masters guarding the Hall of Light. Their cultivation has reached the late stage of the Heavenly God. They were also transferred over in the previous war. The emperor lost two-thirds of the three thousand troops he had recruited with great difficulty. It was not easy for all four brothers to survive!
"Brother, why don't we just leave? We have to wait many years if we stay here. After all, Lu Buwei has made a breakthrough this time and will not die within ten thousand years. If there is another war in the future, we brothers will still have to fight to the death! What if another bad guy shows up then? Now, while the emperor is not in the palace, let's immediately activate the teleportation array and head to the Zhongzhou Continent. By then, maybe there will be a wider world!"
"This... We have signed a Heavenly Dao Contract with the Emperor. If we leave, wouldn't that be a violation of the contract? We will then be punished by Heaven!"
"Brother, you're overthinking it. The Heavenly Dao Contract we signed requires us to be loyal to the Emperor for life and to do our best to complete his mission. However, we cannot serve his enemies in the future. We haven't violated any of these contracts. We're just leaving Dongsheng Shenzhou temporarily. Isn't that right?"
Hearing what his fourth brother said, the eldest brother felt that it seemed to make sense. They left Dongsheng Shenzhou just to leave, and did not say that they would never come back. They also did not mean to betray the emperor, and they would not serve the emperor's enemies in the future, so this did not violate the oath of heaven at all!
"Okay, in that case, let's take advantage of the chaos outside and leave quickly, otherwise it will be troublesome to leave in the future. Although the Zhongzhou Continent is a mixed bag, there should be a place for us brothers. We have also gained a lot of benefits over the years, and we will definitely have no worries about food and clothing within ten thousand years!"
Since the boss had made up his mind, he immediately did it. He came to the Buddha statue at the back of the hall and found that the statue had fallen from the altar. He was somewhat surprised, but did not think much about it. He thought it might be caused by the aftermath of the previous battle energy. After all, many other palaces around it had collapsed, and this Hall of Light was still relatively well preserved. After all, there was a teleportation array here, so the protection was better.
"Fourth brother, put the second and third brothers on the teleportation array first, then we will recite the Great Light Sutra together and go up when the array is activated." The eldest brother said from the side.
The fourth brother immediately did as he was told, and then recited the Great Light Sutra with the eldest brother. The four brothers had been guarding here for nearly a hundred thousand years, and they knew this teleportation array like the back of their hand, and they also knew the Great Light Sutra by heart. Even though they did not know the original meaning of the Great Light Sutra, they had accumulated a large amount of Buddhist divine power over the years.
At this time, the lotus throne began to spin very rapidly, emitting colorful Buddha light. Then the eldest and fourth brother immediately flew onto the lotus throne and continued to chant Buddhist scriptures. Finally, the speed of the lotus throne became faster and faster...
