Chapter 182

However,

the moment he walked into the secret room,

he suddenly discovered,

that on the chair he often sat on in the secret room,

there was currently a person shrouded in a black robe sitting there,

this person was sitting on the chair, with his back to him, and was using his tea set to boil tea.

The moment he saw this person,

Zhao Mingqu's pupils contracted violently, a chill surged over him, and he subconsciously stopped his footsteps, staring fixedly at that back figure.

"Donghuang Taiyi?!"

After a moment, Zhao Mingqu came to his senses and recognized the person sitting there.

The person who came was indeed Donghuang Taiyi.

He was cleaning the tea set in a leisurely posture.

Hearing Zhao Mingqu's voice, the movements of his hands did not stop at all, elegant and calm.

Only,

in the eyes beneath his mask,

there was a cold light flickering.

"Zhao Mingqu..."

Donghuang Taiyi spoke in a hoarse and cold voice while washing the tea set: "You are truly foolish; back then..."

"Why did you take action against the Ghosts?!"

"If you hadn't taken the initiative to take action against the Ghosts back then, how could you be in this situation today?!"

"Stupid, truly stupid..."

Donghuang Taiyi's hoarse and cold voice echoed in the secret room, reaching Zhao Mingqu's ears.

"Swish—"

The expression on Zhao Mingqu's face instantly became ferocious, and a hateful light flickered in his eyes as he stared fixedly at Donghuang Taiyi.

"At this point, Donghuang Taiyi, what is the point of you saying these things?!"

Zhao Mingqu gritted his teeth, staring coldly at Donghuang Taiyi's back, a cold smile appearing at the corner of his mouth: "Now you and I are grasshoppers on the same rope; if I get into trouble, don't think you will have it easy either. Now..."

"You must find a way to help me escape and leave Xianyang City!"

"I want to leave Xianyang City, head to my fief, take my army, and go south..."

Zhao Mingqu's gnashing words caused Donghuang Taiyi's brows to twitch slightly, and a sharp cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Help you escape?!"

Donghuang Taiyi sneered: "Now that you have been targeted by Ying Zheng and also targeted by the Ghosts, wanting to escape..."

"Is easier said than done?!"

These words caused Zhao Mingqu's face to change suddenly, and a thick anger flashed in the depths of his eyes: "What do you mean by this?! Are you trying to burn bridges after crossing the river?! You came here today, could it be..."

"That you want to kill me to silence me?!"

"Hehe..."

"If you kill me, do you think you will be able to escape?!"

"Do you really think that I, Zhao Mingqu, have no backup plans? As long as I die, none of you will have it easy either!"

Zhao Mingqu's tone was full of threats!

Obviously,

he was threatening Donghuang Taiyi!

Donghuang Taiyi listened to his words full of threats, stopped his movements, slowly turned his head, and stared fixedly at Zhao Mingqu with the eyes beneath his mask, murderous intent blooming in his eyes.

"Prince, please recognize your situation..."

Donghuang Taiyi's mouth revealed a cold murderous intent, his voice sinister: "Don't use this threatening way to speak to me, otherwise, I will truly kill you..."

Listening to these words from Donghuang Taiyi full of murderous intent,

Zhao Mingqu trembled all over,

a look of horror and shock flashed in his eyes, and a sense of fear emerged from the bottom of his heart.

He knew this leader of the Yin-Yang School very well,

and knew that he,

was truly ruthless!

Since he said so, he must truly have this thought...

Zhao Mingqu gritted his teeth and did not dare to continue threatening Donghuang Taiyi, took a deep breath, stared fixedly at Donghuang Taiyi, and asked: "Then what should be done now?!"

"What should be done?!"

Donghuang Taiyi sneered, staring at Zhao Mingqu: "Your only way now is to escape!!!"

"Apart from this..."

"You have no other path to take!!"

Listening to this answer from Donghuang Taiyi,

Zhao Mingqu's brows furrowed slightly,

this idea,

he had already considered, wanting to escape from Xianyang, and had already started making preparations.

"Where do you intend for me to escape to?!"

Zhao Mingqu also wanted to know what arrangements Donghuang Taiyi had: "How to leave?! Have your people who are supposed to meet me made preparations?!"

"Escape to the Xiongnu in the north!"

Donghuang Taiyi said coldly: "As long as you escape to the Xiongnu, there will be people to meet you!"

"After we finish dealing with the Ghosts, we will pick you up and bring you back!"

Zhao Mingqu's face changed suddenly: "Run to the Xiongnu?! That ghost place of the Xiongnu, is that a place I can stay?! If I run to the Xiongnu..."

"If the Xiongnu want to take action against me, what should I do?!"

"I am not going to the Xiongnu!!!"

Zhao Mingqu clearly did not intend to go to the Xiongnu!!!

"Hehe..."

Donghuang Taiyi saw Zhao Mingqu's reaction and sneered: "Do you still have any room for choice now?! Or do you not want to leave?!"

"If you don't want to leave, then stay here..."

"And wait for the Ghosts to come and find trouble with you!"

"After the Ghosts kill you, I will have someone collect your corpse and then find an opportunity to give you a grand funeral!!!"

Donghuang Taiyi clearly did not intend to discuss it with Zhao Mingqu!

"You—"

Zhao Mingqu was furious, and even gritted his teeth: "Are you all that afraid of the Ghosts?!"

"The Ghosts are just people at the Grandmaster Realm..."

"It's not like you can't kill him!"

"If you take action and kill the Ghosts, wouldn't everything be fine?!"

Zhao Mingqu, gnashing his teeth, had surging anger in his heart, feeling that it was a huge mistake for Donghuang Taiyi and these people not to take action earlier to clean up the Ghosts.

"Grandmaster Realm?!"

Donghuang Taiyi narrowed his eyes and sneered: "You fool! The Ghosts are not at the Grandmaster Realm now... he has already broken through to the Grandmaster Realm!!!"

"Even Ge Nie is no longer his match now!"

"And..."

"Because of your stupidity, taking action against the Ghosts..."

"Zhao Baili, Zhao Gao, and you have all been exposed..."

"Could it be..."

"That you still want us to be exposed as well?!"

"Even if we could kill the Ghosts, by then we would all be completely exposed, and the matter from five years ago would be completely revealed!" ===== CHAPTER 184 =====
