Zu An looked in the direction of the sound and saw a tall, robust man in a dragon robe standing not far away in front of a desk, staring at him expressionlessly.
This person is clearly the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Clothing and attire can be faked, but this aura is something no one else can imitate.
He had already asked Chu Chuyan before and learned that the name of the Great Zhou Emperor was Zhao Hao. He was indeed an arrogant and domineering guy.
Zuan originally wanted to see what this number one expert in the world looked like, with three heads and six arms, but when the two looked at each other, all he remembered were those sharp and piercing eyes.
He didn't know how to describe those eyes. He had seen the emperor before, but the one in the Yao Guang Secret Realm was just a remnant soul of the First Emperor. In addition, he had already passed the trial, so the other party treated him as one of their own and did not use their power on him.
Later, Wu Geng of Yinxu was the same. He was always troubled by the resentment of letting the wolf into the house, which led to the downfall of the Shang Dynasty. In addition, he disguised himself as an ordinary prince during the trial and deliberately concealed his aura, so he did not feel too much pressure.
But this person in front of me is different. His eyes seem to see right through you, seeing right through you inside and out in an instant.
Zuan knew it was a psychological illusion, but he still subconsciously avoided looking him in the eye.
Then he saw the dragon robe and the person holding a calligraphy brush, who was probably writing something. He couldn't help but think to himself, why do these important people love to practice calligraphy to enhance their status?
The emperor spoke, his voice carrying an inexplicable air of authority and confidence: "You are different from others. While others tremble with fear at the sight of me, you still have the leisure to indulge in idle thoughts."
Zuan was taken aback. He could even see through my wild thoughts. Did this guy have mind-reading abilities?
However, he still replied, "There's no other way. I've worked my way up from the bottom. My life is as fragile as paper, so I must have an indomitable spirit."
"If you treat me this way, no wonder you treat the Crown Prince the same way." The Emperor put down his pen. If someone were watching, they could see the words "immortality" written on the white paper on the table, followed by several small dots. Clearly, he was filled with hesitation and uncertainty when he wrote those words.
Of course, as an emperor, he would not reveal all of this to others.
Zu An was shocked: "So the Emperor already knows."
How could he know all this when I've only been separated from the Crown Prince for a short time?
As if seeing through his thoughts, the emperor slowly said, "I know that it is not easy to hide things in the palace from me."
Zuan remained silent, wondering what the point of his words was. He was struggling with how to put the "forgiveness hat" on the other person's head.
One of the original plans was to use teleportation to move next to him and instantly put the "forgiveness hat" on his head. If he succeeded, there shouldn't be any major problems afterward.
But after meeting him just now, he completely gave up on the idea.
Although the other person stood there casually, seemingly no more than ten feet away, he had a feeling that there was an insurmountable distance between them, and he couldn't sense the other person's exact location at all.
Clearly, given the other party's cultivation level, he would have absolutely no chance of getting close to him unless he was willing.
The emperor gave him a deep look: "If it were before, I would have admired your character and ambition, and perhaps even tried to recruit you. But now... a person like you would never be content to be subordinate to anyone. In the future, the Crown Prince will naturally be unable to subdue you, and I will certainly not leave such a menace alive. Guards, drag him out and execute him. At the same time, proclaim to the world that this is the consequence of offending the Crown Prince."
Zuan: "???"
Brother, why are you playing by your own rules? You've just played a royal flush right from the start, how am I supposed to respond?
Soon, guards rushed in like wolves. Zu An tried to dodge, but the emperor only glanced at him indifferently, and he felt as if his whole body was imprisoned, unable to move an inch.
In that instant, his hands were grabbed by the guards and he was taken out.
Zuan shouted, "I refuse to accept being killed on such a fabricated charge!"
The emperor coldly replied, "Why should I need your approval in my life's actions?"
Zuan: "..."
Brother, you'll lose all your friends if you talk like that.
As the guards dragged him out, he hurriedly asked, "Does His Majesty not desire the elixir of immortality?"
"Immortality?" The emperor looked down at the two large characters written on the white paper on the table, a hint of sarcasm flashing across his lips. With a casual flick of his hand, the white paper instantly turned into dust, while the table remained undamaged, demonstrating that his control over power had reached its peak.
"The tale of immortality is nothing but a myth. Throughout history, emperors have followed one after another in their pursuit, but who has truly attained immortality? I do not believe in such illusory immortality. On the contrary, in my life, I led the human race to a great victory over the demon race and unified the eight wastelands and six directions. Even ten thousand years later, the world will still sing of my glorious achievements. This is true immortality." The emperor's previously expressionless face finally changed, and he exuded a strange fervor.
At this moment, Zuan had a "MMP" in his heart that he didn't know whether to say or not. If you have no intention of immortality, then why did you send people to find the "Phoenix Nirvana Scripture" and why did you specifically send people to capture me?
At this critical moment, his mind raced, and he hurriedly said, "But ten thousand years from now, the world may not sing your praises, and even a few hundred years from now, no one may remember you."
"How could this be!" The emperor was furious. This was the immortality he pursued, the thing he valued most, and he couldn't tolerate anyone questioning it.
Zhao Hao's anger level increased by 999!
An immense aura spread out, forcing the two guards who were pressing down on Zu'an to kneel down and beg for forgiveness.
