The Golden Crow Prince was indignant, thinking that this guy had actually been regarded as an equal opponent by his father.
Zu An thought to himself, "What have I done to deserve your high regard?"
He understood the meaning behind the Demon Emperor's words. Now they were all in the same boat. If an extremely powerful being appeared later, they couldn't rely on him alone; they all had to join forces.
On Zaun's side, there are two Grandmasters, a Medusa Queen, and Zaun's fighting power is exceptionally fierce, so they are naturally worth relying on.
Without waiting for his response, the Demon Emperor threw a skull into Wu Liang's hand: "Here, go and open the stone coffin in the middle."
The skull was crystal clear, radiating a special luster, as if it were made of crystal.
These were things they had obtained on their previous journey. The Demon Emperor noticed a special groove on the central stone platform, which was shaped like a skull, so he asked Wu Liang to try it out.
Wu Liang secretly complained, thinking to himself, "Wasn't this Zuan's job before?"
Despite his complaints, he dared not disobey the Demon Emperor's orders, lest the Demon Emperor cast a puppet curse mark on him as well.
Once we get out of here, I must find Zuan and ask him how he broke the puppet curse.
Thinking it over, he carefully approached the central stone platform, examined the surrounding runes and formations, and made sure there were no deadly traps before slowly inserting the skull into the groove.
Witnessing all this, Zuan frowned secretly, thinking to himself, why would Emperor Yao, a great emperor and a positive character, use such an evil thing as a skull?
But this crystal skull is actually quite nice...
Just then, a crisp click was heard, and the crystal skull fit perfectly into the groove.
Then it seemed to be sucked in by something and sank straight down.
Seeing Wu Liang still clutching the skull, Zu An couldn't help but remind him, "Fatty, aren't you going to let go?"
The Demon Emperor and the Golden Crow Prince also watched Wu Liang warily, wondering if this fatso had discovered something and wanted to get ahead of everyone else to seize the immortal opportunities inside.
At this moment, Wu Liang shouted, his voice trembling slightly: "I want to let go too, but it's sticking to me and I can't let go!"
As they were talking, the skull emerged from the stone platform again. The group's sharp eyes quickly noticed that Wu Liang's hand seemed to be drawn to the skull's surface by some unknown force, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't pull it off.
Just then, a red light suddenly appeared in the skull's eyes, and an evil, chilling aura appeared out of nowhere. The Demon Emperor's expression changed, and he immediately took a step back.
Zuan and the others felt a chill envelop their bodies. It wasn't the chill of Yan Xuehen's Snowflake Divine Sword, but rather the chill of an evil presence, causing their bodies to stiffen involuntarily.
The men's expressions changed, and they hurriedly retreated.
Wu Liang, who was directly in the line of fire, screamed in terror, "Your Majesty the Demon Emperor, save me! Save me!"
The Demon Emperor frowned, showing no intention of making a move.
It seems they want him to test the waters and see what's going on.
Zu An frowned. He had a past with this fat man, and he couldn't just stand by and watch him die.
So he chopped the other man's forearm with a chop to the wrist. Compared to his life, what was the cost of losing a pair of hands?
Anyway, high-level cultivators all have self-healing abilities. If they find some spiritual medicine to nourish themselves, they might be able to grow back in a few years.
Wu Liang clearly understood his meaning and couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude. So he offered no resistance and planned to cut off his hand to escape.
As the blade energy approached him, a black vortex suddenly appeared on the skull's forehead, sucking the blade energy into it.
Wu Liang also screamed, feeling his life essence being rapidly drained away.
The two chubby hands visibly withered away.
His round cheeks began to hollow inwards. He hurriedly tried to unleash his inner energy to break his arms, but it was too late. The energy that would have broken his arms was inevitably sucked away by the black hole.
Then he had no strength left to resist, and could only turn to look at the Demon Emperor, his lips trembling slightly: "Save...save me..."
He knew that among all the people present, only the Demon Emperor had the ability to save him.
Who knew the Demon Emperor would remain unmoved? If this stone platform could only be opened with a blood sacrifice, then Wu Liang would be the only one who could succeed.
The people on the Zaun side seem to have a very good relationship, and taking action against any of them would break the fragile alliance between the two sides.
Aside from them, we can't expect him to sacrifice his own son.
The group from Zuan felt sorry for them, but unfortunately, it was too late for them to do anything about it.
In the blink of an eye, Wu Liang, who was originally as fat as a ball of flesh, had turned into a skin and bones, like a dried corpse.
Zuan couldn't help but think of Sang Qian, who died at the hands of Mosquito Taoist back then. He looked just like this back then. Could it be that a vampire is sealed inside this stone platform?
That fatso is really pathetic. I saw all sorts of mysterious things about him before, but I never expected him to die so easily.
At that moment, a strange noise came from the surroundings. The group looked up and saw that the terracotta on the surface of the two tall statues was gradually peeling off.
Immediately afterwards, two powerful auras suddenly appeared in the hall, and their momentum increased at an extremely rapid pace.
Yun Jianyue and Yan Xuehen simultaneously warned each other in secret: "Be careful, this is the aura of a peak Grandmaster, no, the aura is still rising."
Zu An's expression changed. Could it be that they were two Earth Immortals?
Not only him, but even the Demon Emperor became nervous. He stared intently at the two statues. At this moment, all the terracotta around the statues had fallen off, revealing their original appearance.
