Zu An never expected that the other party would not follow common sense and actually made him unable to speak. All his ideas suddenly came to nothing.
Seeing that the other party was about to raise the knife and drop it, he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. The big head can be cut off, but the small head cannot.
He hurriedly called out to Mi Li in his heart: "Master Queen, help me."
Mi Li snorted: "Let's see if you dare to be smart in the future."
She was about to show up to help Zu An. Although in her current state, every time she made a move, she would lose her soul power, not to mention that the emperor's cultivation level was still so high, but she could not just watch Zu An die.
Fortunately, at this time, Bi Linglong on the side spoke: "You can't kill him!"
Zhao Ruizhi laughed angrily: "Oh, you still want to plead for him?"
He Li on the side shook his head secretly, the Crown Princess is usually very clever, why is she so stupid today? Others can intercede for Zu An, but you can't. Interceding for an adulterer, isn't this adding fuel to the fire?
Feeling the pressure in the other party's eyes, Bi Linglong turned pale, but she still straightened her back and said hard: "Because he is the only one who knows how to get to the palace over there. You have been pursuing immortality all your life, and you will never let go." Live this opportunity.”
Although she didn't know the verses obtained by the other group, she had been in the palace for so many years, so she naturally knew the emperor's thoughts. She was always smart, and she immediately realized that only immortality could make Zhao Ruizhi temporarily give up his grudge against Zu An. Unexpectedly, Lucky hit.
Although Zhao Ruizhi's heart skipped a beat, he still refused to admit it: "Haha, do I need him if I want to go to the palace?"
Despite what he said, his hands did not continue to attack, but threw Zu An aside.
He looked up at the floating island palace in the distance, and when he tiptoed a little, he had disappeared and his figure flew straight over there.
Although the highest floating island is hundreds of feet away from here, for his cultivation level, it can be said that he can reach it almost instantly.
However, not long after he took off, he began to fall suddenly. His expression changed, and he grabbed it at the starting point. A transparent air claw was clasped on the floating island here, and the next moment he was back to where he was. .
"Still can't fly." Zhao Ruizhi looked a little ugly. Fortunately, he was prepared in his heart, otherwise he might not be able to come back.
"Your Majesty, there is a mechanism here. Maybe there is a way to get over." Noticing that his face was not very good, He Li immediately came over to flatter him and pointed at the array of stone slabs.
Zhao Ruizhi's eyes lit up and he came to the array of stone slabs. Even though he prided himself on being very resourceful, looking at the stone slabs in front of him, he had no clue at all: "Could this be the starry sky? Why is it so messy? Is it necessary to be in a certain way?" Rearrange the rules?..."
Many ideas came to his mind, but unfortunately he rejected every one of them.
He suddenly turned around and looked at Zu An: "Can you unlock this mechanism?"
"The solution is that it can be solved
, but you will kill me if I untie it, why should I untie it? "Zu An rubbed his neck, looking like a dead pig not afraid of boiling water.
Zhao Ruizhi's pupils shrank: "Are you blackmailing me?"
"It's not a threat, it's just telling the truth." Zu An wondered what the other party had done just now, and why I didn't have the strength to resist at all. It was really painful.
Mi Li's voice rang in her mind: "This guy's cultivation is truly unfathomable. After becoming a Grandmaster, every time he passes through a realm, there will be earth-shaking changes. What's more, he is still an Earth Immortal now, and many of his attack methods and methods are beyond your level." I understand that it’s normal that you don’t have the power to resist.”
Zu An sighed: "This feeling of powerlessness is really unpleasant."
Mi Li said: "Since you called me master, I will naturally fulfill my responsibility as a master. Later I will roughly explain the common methods of people in this realm in a way that you can understand. You can understand as much as you want. It depends on your ability. But with your qualifications, at least you won’t be as at a loss as you were just now.”
Zu An complained: "Why didn't you teach me earlier."
"Facing an enemy of this level, even if I teach you these things, it's just the difference between dying early and dying late. Naturally, I wouldn't have thought of teaching you this before," Mi Li snorted, "Will you learn it or not?"
"Learn, learn, learn," Zu An hurriedly apologized, "Thank you, beautiful master!"
Mi Li raised her eyebrows: "What did you call me?"
Zu An explained: "You also know what happened between me and Zhao Hao's queen. She is also a queen. Every time I call her queen, I think of her. I always feel that this is a bit disrespectful to you, so I changed my name to Master. She is a great beauty, and I am telling the truth when I call her that."
The corners of Mi Li's lips raised slightly, but she restrained her immediately: "Master is master, no other words are allowed."
"Okay, Master Beauty." Zu An said sincerely.
Mi Li: "..."
At this time, Zhao Ruizhi's voice came: "If you can help me live forever, the grudges of the past will not matter. I will naturally not take it to heart anymore and promise to save your life. If you can't believe it, I can make an oath of heaven." .”
He secretly sneered in his heart. Anyway, cutting off your limbs and making you into a human pig will save your life, so it is not considered a breach of contract.
"Of course I can trust the Emperor's words." Zu An had a look of surprise on his face, and he also sneered secretly in his heart. I would be stupid if I believed your nonsense.
However, despite the ulterior motives of both parties, an agreement was eventually reached.
Zu An came to the stone array: "These imply the stars in the sky. As long as they are rearranged according to the appropriate rules, it should be fine."
As he spoke, he quickly moved the stone slabs on the ground. As expected, these stone slabs could slide up, down, left, and right.
"...On the left is the blue dragon Meng Zhang Jiayin, on the right is the white tiger supervisor Jiashen, on the head is the red bird mangling light Jiawu, on the foot is
Xuanwu holds the Jiazi, and the moon enters the center for the noble..." He recalled in his mind the formulas he saw on the stone tablets before, and gradually spelled out the corresponding shapes on the stone tablets.
As the last stone slab was put together, the clear sound of the mechanism could be clearly heard, and the entire stone slab and even the earth shook.
Everyone looked around, but after the shaking, there were no other changes.
He Li on the side chuckled and said: "Master Zu, is this what you said about knowing how to crack this mechanism?"
Zhao Ruizhi looked at Zu An with sharp eyes.
Zu An ignored them and carefully observed the stone slabs on the ground. His eyes suddenly fell on the circular pits on many stone slabs.
Suddenly something moved in his heart, and he took out the eighty-one luminous pearls he had found in the giant tortoise shell from his arms.
Putting these beads into those round pits, they fit perfectly as expected.
At this time, there was a clicking sound from the ground, and the stone slabs kept rising and falling. Then some stone slabs sank, and other stone slabs slowly stood up, and finally formed many square stone pillars.
Each stone pillar is engraved with different patterns on all sides, resembling mythical beasts and some symbols of the starry sky.
Eventually the roaring underground disappeared, and then everything fell silent again.
Zu An frowned, hasn't the trap been unlocked yet?
He tried moving the stone pillars and found that the stone pillars could not move, but they could rotate, and when they rotated, they would cause certain other stone pillars to rotate accordingly.
"So that's it..." Zu An suddenly realized, but immediately frowned. Although he knew the general solution, he didn't know what conditions these stone pillar patterns had to meet. The inscriptions on the stone tablet he found in the temple before, A lot is missing.
At this moment, Zhao Ruizhi laughed: "I see, that's how it is. It's my destiny. My surname is Zu. You have no use value anymore."
After saying that, he looked at him with an evil look on his face, as if he was going to take action at any time. Anyway, he didn't really make an oath just now, so he wasn't afraid of going back on his word.
Zu An was unhurried, as if all this was expected: "Don't rush to burn bridges. Without me, you won't be able to unlock this mechanism even if you know the correct formula."
He has come to his senses. Since he has been able to obtain the key formula along the way, how could those on the other side not gain anything? They must have obtained some formula as well.
As expected, Zhao Ruizhi looked hesitant and did not rush to take action. Instead, he signaled to He Li: "You should match the patterns according to the inscriptions we found at the ancient city ruins."
He had already made up his mind that after He Li unlocked the mechanism, he would castrate Zu An first.
