The person opposite him was naturally the chief priest. He said calmly, "Our relationship is one of national and personal hatred, so even if we have to use some dishonorable means, it's worth it."
Zhao Hao sneered: "You think you can deal with me like this? Do you think you can rely on Abbot Yan by your side?"
His gaze fell on the stunningly beautiful woman in white, his expression turning grim: "Does Abbot Yan know what this means? When I leave, the entire Baiyujing will pay the price for your actions."
The woman in white was none other than Yan Xuehen. She sighed softly, "Even without my involvement, would the Emperor not have taken action against Bai Yujing?"
Now that she knows that her senior brother Li Changsheng was involved in the ambush to kill Zhao Hao, the entire Baiyujing was already on the edge of a cliff, and she could justify whatever she did.
Zhao Hao was already quite displeased about the "Baopu Zhenjing" incident, and now his face darkened: "Over the years, I have treated Abbot Yan with great courtesy, but I never expected that we would have to resort to arms today."
Yan Xuehen remained silent. She didn't actually want to fight Zhao Hao either, but now that things had come to this, she couldn't care less about anything else.
At this moment, the chief priest spoke up: "Master Yan, go to the tomb and find your companions."
“But…” Yan Xuehen was a little anxious because she knew that the Chief Priest was already slightly weaker than Zhao Hao in a one-on-one fight, not to mention that he was injured now, and that injury was because of her.
Of course, she wouldn't be foolish enough to expose this, lest it give Zhao Hao more confidence.
“It’s alright,” the priest shook his head. “You can’t interfere in our battle anyway, and you have more important things to inform your comrades.”
Yan Xuehen's face showed a struggle. She knew that what he said made sense, but abandoning her savior at such a critical moment was completely against her principles.
The chief priest smiled and said, "It's alright. He was just injured, and I might not lose. Besides, once you've dealt with things over there, you might even be able to bring people to help me."
Hearing him say that, Yan Xuehen gritted her teeth and said, "Then I'll be going now. Take care, sir!"
She did have something very important to tell Zuan. She was not one to hesitate, so she bowed to him and then sped off towards the tomb.
"Trying to leave!" Zhao Hao's expression changed, and a large hand reached out to grab the other person.
Although he was superior to the chief priest, he had been careless and injured by the chief priest while immersed in the immortal destiny. If Yan Xuehen were to bring more people over, he might really be caught off guard and suffer a setback.
You have to understand that he still doesn't know what Zuan's trump card is. If the other party was able to kill his split soul back then, they can probably also pose a threat to him now.
At that moment, a wide sleeve swept over and blocked his grab: "Your opponent is me."
The two exchanged several blows in an instant, and then both of them swayed.
Zhao Hao was taken aback, then suddenly burst into laughter: "So you have injuries too."
The Grand Master replied calmly, "Isn't His Majesty also injured?"
He had recently saved Yan Xuehen from being chased, but the opponent was too powerful, so he was also injured. That's why he disregarded his status and launched a sneak attack on Zhao Hao just now, otherwise he would have been completely unable to fight.
Zhao Hao said coldly, "If you were at your peak and I were ambushed by you, you might actually have a chance in a fight, but now that everyone is injured, you're doomed."
The chief priest remained calm, showing no emotional fluctuation whatsoever due to the opponent's psychological tactics: "You are far too arrogant. The outcome is still uncertain."
Zhao Hao laughed: "That's right, you are indeed very talented, even the most talented person I have ever met. No wonder you are so confident. It's a pity that you are too talented, which leads to you being interested in too many things and having too many distractions. Your energy is scattered across various fields, and a person's energy is limited. If you could focus on one field, you might have already surpassed me. But now you are learning too many things at once, so you are destined to be no match for me."
The chief minister remained unmoved by his words: "Who says that Bo will necessarily lose to Chun? Today, let the Emperor judge the results of my work over the years."
As soon as he finished speaking, various rune array patterns appeared beneath his feet, and a celestial star map rotated on his back.
Seeing the various strange phenomena before him, Zhao Hao was greatly surprised. He thought that if he were given more time, he might even reach the threshold of immortality before him.
Thinking of this, he no longer had any intention of underestimating the opponent, and directly summoned the Human Emperor Seal, his whole body shining with golden light as he rushed towards the opponent.
With a deafening roar, terrifying shockwaves spread outwards, instantly turning some passing cultivators into dust. The remaining people hurriedly fled to a distance, their hearts filled with horror. Could this power be the resurrection of an immortal lord?
What kind of being was it that fought against him?
...
On the other side, inside the tomb of Immortal Lord Baopu, Sun En said, "Zang Ao is a man of deep cunning. I was defeated by him back then. So when I noticed that he didn't chase after that Zhao Hao, I immediately realized that something was wrong. And thinking back to the inner and outer chapters mentioned before, the rest is not hard to guess."
Jing Teng nodded: "That's right. The 'Baopu Zhenjing' does have an inner and outer section, but the Immortal Lord's lingering will has just dissipated, leaving only the outer section. As for where the inner section is, I don't know."
Sun En frowned: "Miss Jing, there's no point in you saying that. Zang Ao is keeping a close eye on you. Even if he has to act fake, he'll still try to get close to you. He won't make a fuss for no reason."
"Now that I think about it, you are the only person in the world who has any connection with Immortal Lord Baopu. He is too good to you. It doesn't seem like just a past enlightenment. On the contrary, he treats you like a daughter."
Upon hearing this, Zu'an and Qiu Honglei couldn't help but look at Jing Teng. The other women might have arrived late and didn't know many things, but they had always found it strange that Jing Teng knew far too much, unlike the simple vine that had been unintentionally enlightened by the Immortal Lord Baopu back then.
