Qiu Honglei: "???"
I meant well and tried to help you, but you actually used me as a third wheel?
She almost lost her composure for a moment, but she quickly realized that this woman was very skilled and she had almost fallen for her trick.
Hmph, feigning weakness and guilelessness, but actually quite cunning and manipulative.
Thinking of this, she smiled sweetly: "No problem, as long as it can help my sister."
After she finished speaking, she began to circulate her energy. As a light-elemental being with exceptional talent, she was soon enveloped in a soft glow.
Bathed in that light, Jing Teng's face revealed a hint of intoxication: "Thank you, Miss Qiu."
Qiu Honglei forced a smile, thinking to herself, "This green tea bitch won't even call me 'sister,' while I deliberately called her 'little sister' a few times."
Was she unaware of the situation, or was she deliberately ignoring it?
Seeing her chatting with Zuan while she herself became a giant ball of light illuminating their smiling faces, Qiu Honglei felt like she was a complete traitor.
"A pointless squabble over a girl." As someone who had been through it all, Zhao Hao, with his life experience, naturally saw through the strange situation between the three of them at a glance and found it utterly boring.
When they get older, they will realize how naive they were. Love and affection are just fleeting things; supreme power is the most important thing.
Thinking of this, a resolute look appeared in his eyes. He walked straight to the front of the coffin, then knelt down and respectfully kowtowed to it.
Bang bang bang!
Zuan and his group were chatting when they heard the sound and were startled, initially thinking it was an earthquake.
Looking back, he saw Zhao Hao kneeling and kowtowing devoutly to the Immortal Lord Baopu.
Zuan: "..."
Qiu Honglei: "..."
Jing Teng: "..."
Qiu Honglei rolled her eyes at Zu An with a smile in her eyes; it was all this guy's fault for misleading her.
Zuan also looked strange. He had just said it casually, how could he have known that this guy would take it seriously?
It's a pity that videos can't be recorded in this world, otherwise, if this segment were recorded and played back in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the effect would definitely be quite explosive.
Mi Li's voice rang in his mind: "She's really obsessed with immortality. A powerful figure like her is actually willing to kowtow like this."
His tone was full of sarcasm.
Zu An's heart stirred, and he seized the opportunity to ask, "Empress Master, you are very knowledgeable. What exactly is the story of this Immortal Lord Baopu? Since he has become an immortal, why is there such a corpse here?"
“What’s so strange about that? Immortals are just more powerful beings. They simply live much longer than ordinary cultivators, sometimes for thousands or tens of thousands of years. To ordinary cultivators, they seem immortal, but the immortals themselves know that’s not the case,” Mi Li replied.
"You mean this is the corpse of Immortal Lord Baopu after he died after becoming an immortal?" Zu'an was shocked. At first, everyone guessed that this was his body in the mortal world. After becoming an immortal, he ascended to heaven and no longer needed a mortal body. After all, no one knew what ascension was, so they could only guess like this.
“It doesn’t seem like it. This corpse doesn’t have the powerful aura of an immortal body. If it were a real immortal body here, you would have been covered in blood and collapsed from being so close.” Mi Li’s tone also carried a hint of doubt. “However, this body seems to contain a hidden power. Perhaps it is the so-called backup plan that Jing Teng mentioned.”
“I see,” Zuan nodded, then suddenly a thought struck him. “Wait, I remember you mentioned that even someone as powerful as Qin Shi Huang in your era didn’t become an immortal. How do you know so much about immortals?”
“I…Is my speculation wrong?” Mi Li suddenly panicked. “You’ve forgotten that I was the librarian of the Qin Dynasty. I was knowledgeable in all fields, so making such speculations wouldn’t be difficult for me.”
Zu An thought it made sense and had no doubts. He was about to ask her if she knew how to activate the backup plan left by the Immortal Lord Baopu.
Suddenly, a chilling laugh rang out: "Hahaha, what were you doing here? You're kowtowing. You're supposed to be a strong person, but your knees are too weak. Isn't it a bit too late to beg for help now?"
Everyone was startled and hurriedly turned around to look. They saw a black mist carrying countless skulls invading from the tomb entrance and quickly surrounding the entire tomb chamber. Who else could it be but the Ghost King?
They also noticed six strangely shaped ghosts, each emanating a powerful aura, similar to the previously mentioned Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick, which should be the remaining six Ghost Generals.
