Zhao Ruizhi was shocked. He was also fierce and took a big bite. With his cultivation level, this bite could easily crush gold and jade.
Unfortunately, the tentacles were too slippery. His powerful bite was weakened by the slime on the surface, making it difficult to actually hurt the other party. Instead, the other party took the opportunity to burrow deeper, even reaching his throat.
Zhao Ruizhi felt nauseous. When had he ever suffered such humiliation? It wasn't just a matter of his life being in danger, but also a trampling on his dignity.
He desperately tried to pull the tentacles out with both hands, but he felt that after the tentacles entered his mouth, some of them turned into liquid and went into his stomach, and then his strength gradually diminished.
He could only watch helplessly as the tentacle slowly slid into his mouth.
Seeing this from afar, Zuan felt a chill run down his spine. If this was how one died, it would be worse than death.
If I were to be... ugh, ugh, ugh, that's bad luck.
At this moment, Xu Fu's laughter came from the octopus's mouth: "Hahaha, so you are the one who has possessed my body. It's just right to use your soul to make up for the losses I have suffered over the long years."
Zhao Ruizhi struggled desperately, but his movements became increasingly weak, and he eventually fell silent.
Immediately afterwards, a soul resembling Zhao Hao was pulled out of his body. It was clear that he was in extreme pain, but he was stuck to Xu Fu's tentacles and was powerless to resist. He could only grow dimmer and dimmer until finally, with a bang, he shattered into specks of golden light, which were all sucked into the mouth and nose of the giant octopus.
"Ah~" Xu Fu let out a comfortable groan, clearly feeling extremely good at the moment.
However, others were very unhappy. In the imperial palace outside the secret city, Zhao Hao was meditating in the imperial study when his expression suddenly changed. He then vomited a mouthful of blood, his face turned ashen, and his aura immediately weakened.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong?" Two personal eunuchs rushed in after hearing the commotion, and were startled when they saw the emperor's current state.
A glint flashed in Zhao Hao's eyes. The two eunuchs seemed to be gripped by an invisible hand by the neck, and then with a snap, they fell limply to the ground, lifeless.
Little did they know that their perceived concern would bring them death.
How could the emperor possibly allow anyone to reveal his current weakened state?
Zhao Hao didn't even glance at the corpses of the two eunuchs. Instead, he hurriedly went to the window and looked towards the direction of the back mountain of the National Academy. His face was extremely ugly. His split soul had actually been destroyed!
Although he couldn't know what happened on the other side because they were separated by a world, they were of the same origin, and he immediately sensed the death of the split soul.
He was filled with doubt and uncertainty. Before this, everything was under his control. Even though he didn't know all of the arrangements made by the Prince of Qi's mansion, with his divided soul in the Crown Prince's body, he should have been able to suppress the whole scene in case of any changes. Why did he die?
Despite the emergence of new secret realms, he did not believe that a new secret realm could threaten his split soul.
Could it be that Zhao Jing has also entered the secret realm?
He hurriedly shouted, "Someone come here!"
Soon, Eunuch Wen came running over: "What are His Majesty's orders?"
He seemed not to see the two young eunuchs' corpses on the ground at all. The reason he had been able to stay in the Imperial Study for so many years was because he knew when to ask questions and when not to ask questions, when to enter the Imperial Study and when not to enter.
These two young eunuchs are still too young.
At this moment, Zhao Hao had wiped the blood off his face, and his aura had returned to normal. He said in a deep voice, "Choose the Prince of Qi to come to pay homage... Wait, never mind, let our inside agents find out at all costs where the Prince of Qi is!"
He worried that if the King of Qi came to him in person, he might not be able to hide his condition from him at such close range, which would only increase the other party's confidence and introduce more uncertainty.
Eunuch Wen hesitated for a moment: "This could very well expose our mole planted in the Prince of Qi's residence."
Finding out the whereabouts of the Prince of Qi was not something an ordinary informant could do; only the highest-ranking informant in the Prince of Qi's residence could possibly know.
However, once it is used, given the shrewdness of the Prince Qi's mansion, it could easily lead to the person's identity being exposed.
It would be such a waste to lose the position that was so hard-won in the Prince Qi's mansion just because of this.
Zhao Hao's expression turned cold: "I said, at all costs."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Eunuch Wen's heart skipped a beat; clearly, the other party was willing to sacrifice that person's life.
Sigh, what's the point of sitting in that position? You'll still become a pawn at any time.
I don't know when I'll face the same fate.
He dared not show the slightest sign of his presence, and slowly retreated, taking the corpses of the two eunuchs with him as he left, as if nothing had ever happened.
Zhao Hao nodded in satisfaction. This servant was sensible and knew how to please him.
However, his mood only improved for a second before his expression turned frosty as he stared towards the secret realm behind the academy. What on earth had happened there that had ruined his years-long plan for immortality?
At this moment, Zuan in the secret realm was also in a heavy mood. He was cursing Zhao Hao, that good-for-nothing, for being so arrogant before, but now he was so easily eaten by that octopus monster.
Not only did they avoid a mutually destructive battle, but they actually nourished the other side, making Xu Fu even stronger. What's the point of fighting then?
Zuan gave up attacking and instead came to Mi Li's side to protect her. He didn't run away either, since the other party had just absorbed Zhao Hao's split soul, and he couldn't outrun her even if he wanted to.
The octopus monster twisted and turned back into a human form. Then, the blood-red liquid outside seemed to solidify, and various cracks appeared. After a short while, the scabs fell off, revealing the person inside.
