The situation became urgent, but unexpectedly reached a stalemate.
The prince thought he had a chance to win, and said: "Father, I don't want to accomplish anything. If you are willing to abdicate and make way for someone more worthy, then you can still be the supreme emperor."
With fear and disappointment on his face, the emperor stood up, raised his golden sleeves, and pointed at the people below, "Every one of you can do it, very well. It seems that you have planned to reach this point a long time ago. It's really mine." Good son!"
"Father, I am just doing what I should do."
Qi Mingchen shook his head secretly. Judging from this performance, the prince had no chance of winning. He was too immature and young and energetic. It was the prince who was really being used.
This move could catch the person with evil intentions in one fell swoop, and the emperor's mercy was expressed in his last letter...
How much mercy will the emperor have on you?
Seeing that the opportunity was almost there, he picked up the weapon and stabbed his father in the back without hesitation.
In his father's disbelieving gaze, he pretended to be guilty and sad, "Father, I cannot watch you participate in rebellion. It is the ancestral motto of the Luo family to be loyal to the emperor, and we cannot do anything to rebel!"
Qi Mingchen's actions changed the situation. Under the angry gaze of the prince, he raised the blood-stained weapon in his hand and shouted: "The prince is rebelling, protect him!"
After the words fell, half of the rebel soldiers, led by the Luo father actor, raised their weapons and pointed them at their companions.
Seeing this, he also understood that this scene was probably arranged by the emperor.
Looking at his father who was lying at his feet, not quite dead yet, he squatted down and said sadly: "Father, go in peace..."
"Father" stared with a trace of hatred and deep unwillingness.
"Damn false people, how dare you deceive me!"
When Qi Mingchen saw the other party smashing the jar, he pretended to be confused and said: "Father, you and I are both real people."
There was a hint of indifference in his eyes, and the emotion in his eyes was obviously not in line with what a son should do.
"You! You too..."
The other party finally understood that his "son" was also a trialer like him, and no flaws were found from beginning to end.
In the end, "Father" felt unwilling but somewhat relieved, and finally exhausted himself and slowly closed his eyes.
"Prince, I have given you many opportunities and forgiven you many mistakes. Originally, as long as you were honest and honest as the prince, you would have the opportunity to correct your mistakes no matter how many times you made. However, I cannot save you from your rebellion... "
The emperor's tone was sad, but his eyes were cold.
The prince realized that something was wrong and began to panic.
"Father, no..."
Just when Qi Mingchen was about to continue watching, he felt fluctuations around him, he felt dizzy, and the scene in front of him also changed.
[Mission completed, promoted. 】
Then, he appeared in an open place, surrounded by people waiting after clearing the level.
He raised his hand and looked at the same dress as when he came in, wondering whether he was in a soul state or a real state.
At the same time, I thought of the lady in the secret realm who was waiting for her husband and children to come home after the banquet...
It's all false.
He told himself this in his mind.
People who had passed the customs appeared one after another in the space, and he also saw the slightly dazed figure of Mu Qingdu.
This person also passed the level.
After seeing him, Mu Qingdu came over happily and said: "Brother Hong, you have also been promoted. What role do you play in it? I play the second son of a minister of the Ministry of Justice! As soon as I woke up, there was something Someone suddenly came out and told me the mission, and later I met a fake person who almost exposed me. If that person was also pretending, it would be really unusual..."
Qi Mingchen just listened to his ink and was not prepared to pay attention or give any response.
After a while, an old and majestic voice sounded in this space.
[The first-level trial is over. There are 2,632 people participating in the trial, 75 of 1,300 people have been eliminated, and 1,257 people have passed the level. 】
"Why did you eliminate so many?"
Everyone was shocked.
Mu Qingdu explained: "In the past, so many people were not eliminated in the first round. This trial is much more difficult than usual. Not only do you have to find the tasks corresponding to your identity, but you also have to be lucky and can complete the assigned tasks. Just like people from the Prince's faction, the probability of promotion is very low, oh hehe hehe!"
After the man explained it seriously, he let out a strange laugh, as if he was struck by something, and kept holding his stomach with joy.
[The second level of trial: painful trial. 】
As the words fell, everyone's surroundings changed and they came to another level of space.
You can see the blazing fire, and the sounds of pain and despair can be heard in it. The sky is filled with thick smoke and ashes, everything is shrouded in darkness, and the feet are scorched.
The strong smell of sulfur in the air made everyone feel suffocated.
"What is this place……"
Everyone was teleported here, giving people an extremely ominous feeling in this terrifying place.
Qi Mingchen discovered that not far away there were various instruments of torture, such as stoves, mountains of knives, and many other things that would bring fear to people just by looking at them.
Some ferocious-looking monsters, armed with sharp weapons, walked towards them with a grin.
[Hell trial, endure nine levels of purgatory, and pass. 】
"Suffering purgatory, what the hell is that! Do you want us to be tortured?" someone said in horror.
"You lowly thing, why don't you come here and be punished!"
The monster shouted at everyone, also hinting that everyone should pass.
A team of more than a thousand people followed the monster to the first level of purgatory.
"The first level is tongue-pulling purgatory. Anyone alive who sows discord, slanders others, is glib, or lies and deceives others will bear the punishment of tongue-pulling according to the degree of sin!"
I saw a monster, picking up huge pliers, clamping the tongue of one of them, and slowly pulling it out. He was still muttering: "I look at this tongue. I can see that it told a lot of lies."
The man's tongue was stretched longer and longer, and the man had tears and runny nose. He whimpered in pain, but could not speak or make a sound.
Until it was about to break off, the monster let go and said, "It's a pity that I can still keep this tongue."
Some people were not so lucky. Their tongues were torn off, they lost their tongues, and they wailed in pain.
A monster also appeared in front of Mu Qingdu. He shrugged, "It seems that I can't save my tongue."
Having said this, he obviously has a strong self-awareness.
Then, before the monster could take action, he put his hand in his mouth, pulled out his tongue and tore it off!
Everyone around was shocked by this scene. They had never seen anyone so cruel to him.
Qi Mingchen also understood why this person became the master of the Shadow Pavilion under the Canglong Sect. Such courage is rare for ordinary people!
Seeing this, the monster tilted its head and let Mu Qingdu go.
Then he slowly turned his head and looked at him, grinning with an excited smile.
