Zuan remained silent. The emperor and ordinary people were indeed not the same species. He had told him about the events in the secret realm, which were nine parts true and one part false, thinking it was foolproof. Who would have thought that the emperor did not trust anyone at all? As long as he suspected you, he would assume that you had done something without any reason or evidence, and then act according to the principle of "better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free".
Ultimately, because he was not born into royalty or even a prominent family, he misjudged the emperor's way of thinking.
Seeing his silence, Zhao Hao smiled and said, "You don't need to worry. Since I'm telling you about this, it means I won't pursue it. Instead, I'm using this to prove our sincerity in cooperating."
He couldn't understand how the other party, who was so weak back then, managed to kill his split soul. If he could kill his split soul across countless levels back then, then he must be much stronger now and should have the means to threaten the Ghost King.
Firstly, we can cooperate with him to deal with that powerful ghost king; secondly, we can take this opportunity to see what his trump cards are so we can be prepared for the future.
Zuan sneered inwardly. This guy spoke with such sincerity, but only a fool would believe him.
Perhaps he will cooperate with me temporarily because of the pressure from the Ghost King, but he will definitely settle scores later if given the chance.
However, with the Ghost King's presence as a deterrent, there's really no need for the two weaker individuals to fight to the death here.
He then smiled and said, "Your Majesty, what are you saying? I am a subject of the court, and I am naturally on the same side as Your Majesty."
"Marquis Shen is indeed a man of great principle." Zhao Hao sneered inwardly. The two of them reached an agreement with their own ulterior motives.
"Your Majesty just fought with the Ghost King. Have you thought of a way to deal with him?" Zu An asked.
Thinking of the embarrassing situation just now, Zhao Hao's face was a little sour: "His Ghost King Demonic Sound has a great restraining effect on my primordial spirit, but if I don't separate my primordial spirit from my body, I can't exert my maximum combat power. Also, I shattered a lot of skulls and black mist before, but it seems to have no effect on him at all."
Zaun replied, "He is immune to physical and elemental attacks, which is indeed troublesome."
“How could it be so unsolvable?” Zhao Hao frowned. “Where did you get this information from?”
Zu'an didn't hide anything this time and gave a general account of how he captured the ghost general.
Zhao Hao nodded and said, "Those ghost generals are his subordinates. Their cultivation is too low, so they look at him with a halo and inevitably exaggerate a bit."
“I don’t really believe that anyone can be immune to both physical and elemental attacks,” Zuan said in a deep voice, “but the Emperor fought him once before, so it seems that this is indeed the case?”
Zhao Hao recalled, "That's right. My initial attacks didn't seem to have any effect on him. It was as if he was immune to physical and elemental attacks. That's why I thought of using my primordial spirit to deal with him. But I didn't expect his demonic soul-absorbing technique to be so powerful."
He paused and said, "However, everything in the world has its own laws. The laws of the world cannot create an unsolvable existence. It must have some weakness, but we just haven't found it yet."
Zuan nodded secretly. Zhao Hao was indeed a top expert; he saw the crux of the problem at a glance.
At this moment, Jing Teng's voice rang out weakly: "I seem to have regained some of my memories. It seems that the Immortal Lord left behind a method to deal with the Ghost King."
"What?" Zhao Hao's eyes lit up immediately, thinking that his decision this time was indeed the right one.
Besides knowing that Zuan had some secrets he couldn't even figure out himself, another reason was this mysterious woman. Her relationship with this great tomb was too close, and perhaps the search for immortal destiny would fall on her.
Qiu Honglei breathed a sigh of relief: "What methods did you use? Tell us quickly."
At least now that he doesn't have to fight Zhao Hao to the death, Azu can finally catch his breath.
Ideally, Zhao Hao and the Ghost King would both be severely injured...
Jing Teng replied, "The restriction is next to the Immortal Lord's remains, towards..."
She turned her head and looked around, then pointed in a dark direction: "Go this way."
He then led the way, and Zu'an and the others hurriedly followed. He wondered, "Didn't people say that the Immortal Lord ascended to heaven back then? How come there are still any remains of him?"
Zhao Hao's heart also tightened. If that Immortal Lord Baopu hadn't actually ascended to immortality as legend had it, but had simply died, and then his disciples were spreading rumors and claiming that he had ascended, then that would be troublesome.
Jing Teng shook his head: "I don't know what happened either. The remains may not be a real corpse, or it may just be a cenotaph."
The group couldn't figure anything out right now, so they could only go to the site and see for themselves.
Although it was dark inside the tomb, Qiu Honglei was a light-elemental being, and there was also a palace lantern, which illuminated the group as they continued to walk deeper into the tomb.
However, compared to the laughter and joy everyone had shared along the way, the atmosphere was now somewhat somber.
After all, with Zhao Hao, such a terrifying figure, around, everyone could fight to the death at any moment.
Seemingly to ease the awkwardness, Zhao Hao said, "This looks like the Changxin Palace Lantern of the Cloud Cult Leader."
Qiu Honglei nodded: "It's not the original. It was a copy made by someone in the sect based on Master's. Its power is far inferior."
"The Demonic Sect is indeed full of talented people; they can even imitate the Changxin Palace Lantern," Zhao Hao said, showing none of his usual fierce and imposing manner. Instead, he appeared like a kind and benevolent elder. "I remember your master also entered the secret realm. Where is she?"
Qiu Honglei glanced at Zu An before carefully replying, "We've been separated, but I'm sure she'll come to this tomb area soon."
At the same time, he was filled with worry, thinking that it would be terrible if his master accidentally encountered the Ghost King.
