“We split into several groups, and they have already gone deep into the tomb to investigate. It seems that the chief priest has made some discoveries,” Zuan said quickly, a thought flashing through his mind.
Zhao Hao's expression changed slightly, but he immediately laughed and said, "You little brat, you really don't always tell the truth. You're trying to get me to stop getting entangled with you and go find them?"
Xuan Bajing chimed in, "Indeed, how could such a petty trick possibly fool the Emperor?"
Li Changsheng also said, "Your Majesty is wise!"
Zu An's expression was strange: "You two were once grandmasters of a sect, but I never expected you to have degenerated into sycophants. Speaking of which, didn't you plot to kill him not long ago?"
He knew in his heart that Zhao Hao had already decided to kill him, and pretending to be a loyal subject would no longer work.
He quickly racked his brains for a way to save his life.
Li Changsheng's face flushed. He usually considered himself refined and aloof, and all his actions were aimed at becoming an immortal. This time, he had no choice but to submit to Zhao Hao, which had more or less affected his Dao heart.
“You don’t need to sow discord here,” Xuan Bajing said, being a bit more slick. He cupped his hands towards Zhao Hao and said, “Fortunately, His Majesty is magnanimous and doesn’t hold our mistakes against us. We are so fortunate to be able to serve him now, we don’t know how many lifetimes of good deeds we have done to deserve this.”
These words made Li Changsheng feel like vomiting; this guy was just too shameless.
Zhao Hao didn't rush to make a move at this moment. He looked at Zu An with the mentality of a cat playing with a mouse: "Everyone says that you live a life of romance and debauchery. After seeing you today, even I am somewhat impressed. In such a short time, besides the Holy Maiden of the Demonic Sect, you have found another woman of unparalleled beauty by your side."
Although he is now old, he cares more about longevity and immortality, and no longer cares about women.
But he was, after all, a man, and the thought that even as an emperor, he had far more beautiful women than he did inevitably made him feel a little resentful.
Jing Teng blushed slightly, but opened his mouth without saying anything.
“Your Majesty misunderstands. Miss Jing and I are not in that kind of relationship. On the contrary, she has some connection with this great tomb,” Zu An replied.
Jing Teng's face turned pale, and he looked at him abruptly. Did this guy want to betray me in exchange for a chance to live?
As expected, Zhao Hao immediately became interested: "Oh? She has a connection with this large tomb?"
There was a hint of suspicion in his tone; the other person looked too young and weak, and it was hard to imagine that he had any connection with this mysterious tomb.
"What His Majesty seeks is nothing more than a chance encounter with immortality and eternal life. This Miss Jing happens to have met the Immortal Lord Baopu from back then," Zu An said with a smile.
Jing Teng's heart sank to the bottom. He had experienced betrayal once before, and now he had to experience it again?
Why does it hurt more this time...?
Qiu Honglei looked at Zu An with some confusion, but she believed that her lover was not that kind of person. Could it be that he had come up with some kind of plan?
However, Zhao Hao was considered invincible, and his side was far too weak in combat. Even if Xuan Bajing and Li Changsheng defected immediately, there would be no chance at all. What could he possibly do?
"Immortal Lord Baopu!" Zhao Hao's eyes lit up, and he stared intently at Jing Teng. Having been in this world for some time, he had naturally heard of the legend of the Immortal Lord.
"If you can tell me everything about the Immortal Lord, I might consider letting those around you go."
Jing Teng's face turned frosty: "What do I care whether they live or die? Why should I tell you?"
Zhao Hao's face darkened. He had never been contradicted like this before. He raised his hand to pull the other person away.
Zuan spoke first: "Actually, it's not just the Emperor who wants her. Even the Ghost King of the Yin and Yang realm has been looking for him. If nothing unexpected happens, he should have come to the Great Tomb as well. Can the Emperor defeat the legendary Ghost King?"
