Chapter 80

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, back to him, and was using his tea set to brew 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.

"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 manner.

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

Only,

in the eyes beneath his mask,

there was a ghostly, cold light flickering.

"Zhao Mingqu..."

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

"Why did you take action against the Ghost’s people?!"

"If you hadn't taken the initiative to attack the Ghost’s people 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 resentful light flickered in his eyes as he stared fixedly at Donghuang Taiyi.

"At this point, Donghuang Taiyi, what is the point of 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 made Donghuang Taiyi raise an eyebrow slightly, a sharp, cold light flashing in his eyes.

"Help you escape?!"

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

"How easy is that?!"

These words made Zhao Mingqu’s expression change suddenly, and a deep anger flashed in the depths of his eyes: "What do you mean by that?! Are you trying to burn the bridge after crossing it?! 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 can escape?!"

"Do you really think 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!

Clearly,

he was threatening Donghuang Taiyi!

Hearing these threatening words, Donghuang Taiyi stopped his movements, turned his head slowly, and stared fixedly at Zhao Mingqu with his eyes beneath the mask, murderous intent blooming in his eyes.

"Prince, please recognize your own situation..."

A cold murderous intent appeared at the corner of Donghuang Taiyi’s mouth, his voice grim: "Don't speak to me in such a threatening way, otherwise, I really will kill you..."

Hearing these murderous words from Donghuang Taiyi,

Zhao Mingqu trembled all over,

a look of terror and shock flashed in his eyes, and a sense of fear surged 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 intention...

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

"What should be done?!"

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

"Other than that..."

"You have no other path to take!!"

Hearing this answer from Donghuang Taiyi,

Zhao Mingqu frowned slightly,

this idea,

he had already considered, wanting to flee Xianyang, and had already begun making preparations.

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

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

"Flee to the Xiongnu in the north!"

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

"After we finish dealing with the Ghost, we will bring you back!"

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

"If the Xiongnu people want to take action against me, what then?!"

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

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

"Hehe..."

Seeing Zhao Mingqu’s reaction, Donghuang Taiyi sneered: "Do you still have 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 Ghost’s people to come and find trouble with you!"

"After the Ghost’s people 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, even gnashing his teeth: "Are you all that afraid of the Ghost?!"

"The Ghost is just a person in the Grandmaster realm..."

"It’s not like you can't kill him!"

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

The gnashing Zhao Mingqu felt a surge of anger in his heart, thinking that it was a huge mistake for Donghuang Taiyi and the others not to take action earlier to deal with the Ghost.

"Grandmaster realm?!"

Donghuang Taiyi narrowed his eyes and said with a sneer: "You fool! The Ghost is not in the Grandmaster realm now... he has already broken through to the Great Grandmaster realm!!!"

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

"And..."

"Because of your stupidity in taking action against the Ghost..."

"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 Ghost, by then we would be completely exposed, and the matter from five years ago would be completely revealed!"
