"Your Majesty, what a coincidence!" Xuan Bajing revealed a smile that looked more like a grimace.
Li Changsheng, too, had lost his usual dashing and elegant demeanor; his face was as black as charcoal.
"Yes, what a coincidence." Zhao Hao looked at the two of them with a smile. "I didn't expect to run into you here. Speaking of which, your previous plan was quite good."
Xuan Bajing Waterfall broke out in a cold sweat and immediately begged for forgiveness, saying, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. What happened before was entirely due to Prince Qi's coercion. I had no choice but to go down the path of offending Your Majesty. I hope Your Majesty will be magnanimous and forgive me!"
Li Changsheng secretly scorned him; the way this guy groveled and begged was truly disgusting.
He straightened his clothes before saying to Zhao Hao, "Your Majesty, in this unknown world, you must need some subordinates to help you deal with the miscellaneous matters. Please give us a chance to atone for our sins."
Xuan Bajing was dumbfounded. This guy looked so arrogant. I thought you would be so brave and unyielding, but it turns out to be like this?
Zhao Hao frowned: "You just plotted against me, and now you're groveling for mercy. How can I trust your loyalty?"
Li Changsheng said, "If Your Majesty does not believe us, we can swear an oath to Heaven and Earth!"
Although the consequences are severe, it's better to survive than to die immediately; there are still more possibilities this way.
Xuan Bajing thought to himself, "This guy is actually going to play this big?"
However, he didn't have time to think it over and hurriedly nodded, saying, "That's right, I'm also willing to swear an oath to Heaven and Earth to be loyal to the Emperor."
Zhao Hao fell into deep thought. The oath to heaven and earth was indeed difficult to break, especially since they were members of the Daoist sect, whose oaths had even stronger binding force.
However, he was unmoved and said indifferently, "You are all seriously injured now, only slightly better than cripples. What use are you to me?"
His tone turned sinister as he spoke, a fire burning within him from the events of the day. He had never been so humiliated in all these years, all because of these ants.
Thinking of this, his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Feeling as if he were being stared at by a prehistoric beast, Xuan Bajing knew that his life was probably only a few breaths away. At this moment, he had a sudden inspiration and quickly said, "Your Majesty, although you have unparalleled divine skills, you also know nothing about this world. We can help you explore the world. Some of the traps can be used as human shields to test the law."
Li Changsheng was dumbfounded. This guy was shameless. A grandmaster like him had lowered himself to such a low level.
However, with his life at stake, he had no choice but to agree, while simultaneously blaming Xuan Bajing to death.
Zhao Hao's heart stirred. What they said made some sense. He had grown to his current level through countless battles in secret realms in the past, and he knew about some of the special mechanisms in these realms that required the cooperation of several people to solve.
If we encounter this situation again, it would indeed be quite troublesome for one person.
Thinking of this, his expression softened slightly: "Very well, considering your sincerity, I will forgive you this time. Make a vow to heaven and earth."
He certainly wouldn't easily believe what the other party said, so he naturally needed to have a way to keep the two in check.
Xuan Bajing and Li Changsheng exchanged a glance, both seeing each other's helplessness, but there was nothing they could do now that things had come to this.
So they each made a vow, and soon, as if sensing something in the heavens and earth, invisible and intangible, mysterious laws wrapped around them.
Zhao Hao listened carefully to their vows and nodded in satisfaction when he saw that they weren't playing any tricks.
Xuan Bajing and Li Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, and then cautiously asked, "Your Majesty, once you wake up, have you made any discoveries about this world?"
“No,” Zhao Hao replied slowly. “The only discovery is that this world is exceptionally sinister, and it’s very likely related to undead creatures.”
In fact, he made another discovery. After arriving at this place, he initially tried to travel the world with his primordial spirit to understand the overall picture of this world. However, not long after his primordial spirit left his body, he felt a sense of crisis, as if something in this world could threaten his primordial spirit.
Zhao Hao found it somewhat unbelievable. In the past, he would have ignored everything and gone to investigate first. After all, he had been invincible for so many years and did not believe that anything could harm him.
But after what happened today, and almost being driven to the brink of despair by the schemes of King Qi and the Chief Minister, he had no choice but to become more cautious.
"Undead creatures?" Xuan Bajing and Li Changsheng were taken aback, then secretly delighted. As highly skilled Daoist masters, they naturally knew some methods to subdue undead creatures.
Undead creatures are often mindless, and even if they are powerful, they are relatively easy to deal with.
Xuan Bajing and Li Changsheng each took out a pill and put it in their mouths, a rosy glow appearing on their faces, clearly indicating that their injuries had improved.
The two men then remembered something and turned pale: "We deserve to die. We should have presented the healing pills to His Majesty immediately."
After they finished speaking, they were both a little surprised. Why were they so in sync? They were usually flattered by their subordinates in the sect, but now they were flattering others so naturally.
Sigh, it's all because Zhao Hao put too much pressure on people.
Zhao Hao said calmly, "Why would I need your pills? Take them yourself and recover quickly. I don't keep useless people under my command."
Li Changsheng and Xuan Bajing were both frightened and somewhat impressed. Zhao Hao had gone through great battles with the King of Qi and the Grand Master of Ceremonies, yet he seemed completely unharmed, showing no signs of injury whatsoever. It was truly admirable.
The two quickly composed themselves and began to regulate their breathing. Both held exceptional positions within their respective sects, and possessed numerous medicinal pills.
The ordinary medicine, once its effects dissipated, gradually restored some of its strength.
