"Who was it that just now insulted me by saying I was beaten like a grandson?" Zhao Hao glanced at him sideways, his sneer becoming increasingly obvious.
"Even though the Ghost King's Demonic Sound was designed to counter souls, he still couldn't leave the Emperor with a single piece of his robe. Naturally, he's the real grandson," Zu An said without batting an eye.
Jing Teng gave him a strange look, not expecting the guy to switch so naturally.
Qiu Honglei's lips curled up slightly. When she first met Azu, he was just like that... shameless and cunning.
However, when she thought about the fate of the others, she couldn't laugh anymore.
"That move was called Ghost King's Demonic Sound, wasn't it?" Zhao Hao recalled the situation just now, still feeling a little shaken. He had almost been completely taken advantage of by his opponent.
He looked at Zu'an curiously: "You seem to know a lot about his skills. Did the Miss Jing next to you tell you?"
Jing Teng shook his head slightly. These were the things that Zu An had interrogated from the two great ghost generals, Wolong and Fengchu. Of course, it was inconvenient to explain these things to the other party.
"You're quite a talent," Zhao Hao exclaimed, then after a moment of silence, he said, "Why don't we temporarily turn enemies into friends and join forces?"
Qiu Honglei: "???"
Zhao Hao was considered invincible by everyone, so who would have thought that he would actually seek to join forces with someone?
Even if he wanted to find someone to join forces with, it should be someone like the King of Qi or the Grand Master of Ceremonies who would be qualified. What does it mean to find a young junior like Azu?
Although she knew her lover was very strong, the scene before her still seemed somewhat unbelievable to her.
Zuan was also somewhat surprised: "We're joining forces? Your Majesty, are you desperate and grasping at straws? What qualifications do I have to fight alongside you? That Ghost King is far superior to me; if I go up there, I'll just be throwing my life away."
Zhao Hao snorted: "You don't need to put on this act in front of me. You are absolutely qualified to fight the Ghost King with me."
Zu An was secretly on guard: "Your Majesty, you really overestimate me. If you don't mind, I can stand by and cheer. You know, even top grandmasters like Li Changsheng and Xuan Bajing had their souls sucked away in one gulp. What use could I possibly be?"
Zhao Hao was somewhat annoyed: "I'm too lazy to test you back and forth. Others may not know your abilities, but I certainly know them best. Otherwise, how did my split soul inside the Crown Prince die?"
Upon hearing this, Zu An's hair stood on end, and he instinctively prepared to fight him.
"Don't be nervous. Since I've brought this up, it means it's all in the past," Zhao Hao said calmly. "As long as you help me deal with the Ghost King and find my path to immortality, all past grievances will be wiped clean. If the demon race can make you regent, why can't I?"
"When I ascend to heaven, the Crown Prince will be weak and foolish, and may not be able to hold his position. That will be exactly when you will be needed to protect him."
Qiu Honglei was shocked; this conversation contained a tremendous amount of information.
Jing Teng was extremely puzzled. What were they talking about? I couldn't understand a word of it.
Are they really from this world?
Zu An also dropped the flippancy on his face and said in a deep voice, "So Your Majesty knew all along."
No wonder I always felt that he had murderous intent towards me.
Zhao Hao snorted: "My soul was separated from the Crown Prince's body, and I just disappeared without a trace. Although you and the Crown Princess have a reasonable explanation for this, I don't believe it at all."
“I watched the Crown Princess grow up since she was a child, and I know she doesn’t have the ability. So naturally, you are the only one left.”
"Just because you suspected someone, you've always assumed it was me?" Zu'an asked, puzzled.
"For an emperor, suspicion is enough. It's better to kill a thousand innocent people than let one guilty person go free," Zhao Hao said coldly.
