Chapter 766 Compromise

On the black disk, a huge throne stood. On the throne, a black-clothed man's face was silent, as if he was falling into some kind of dream.

On the disk on both sides of the throne, six figures stood in two groups. The throne swept through fear at an extremely fast speed, and wherever it passed, the black afterimages did not dissipate for a long time.

Shen Wushuang looked at the man on the throne with some confusion. Although the Divine Man's thoughts were not something he could guess, when he thought that his Lord would cooperate with that person, he felt a little uneasy. After all, nineteen memories told him that that person's growth was far from something common sense could cross.

The speed of the black disc was extremely fast. Ya Qishan was tens of thousands of kilometers away from Kunlun, but under the activation of the disc, it only took half an hour for it to arrive in an instant.

During this time, they passed the 100,000 mountains that had once again appeared in the mortal world. The bustling demons in those mountains made Shen Wushuang feel that it was somewhat ridiculous. Ants were busy and did not know their lives. This was probably what they said. As for the living dead standing on the Four Emperors Mountain, Shen Wushuang was even more disdainful. The only thing he was worried about was the person he couldn't kill.

Thinking of this, the black disk arrived at the dilapidated immortal palace and stopped.

"Your Excellency." After waiting for a while, Shen Wushuang frowned and whispered to the man on the throne.

However, the man's eyes were tightly closed, and he was not in a hurry to respond.

Shen Wushuang glanced at Yuan Xiucheng. Both of their eyes were filled with worry and confusion. They looked at each other for a while, and then they saw from each other's eyes that Gui Gu Zi had already gone to the depths of the world. Once the other party obtained the remaining Emperor's power, all of their plans would be in vain. This matter was extremely urgent and could not be delayed at all.

For this reason, their hearts sank. Black light appeared in their hands. This was a secret technique that the emperor had passed down to them. With this technique, the emperor could be awakened from his slumber. Just as the black gas in their hands condensed, a black tentacle gushed out from behind them. With astonishing speed, it fiercely stabbed into the black aura, piercing through the black aura that had been formed with great difficulty.

Shen Wushuang and Yuan Xiucheng were stunned for a moment. Then, they turned around and saw that Chen Xuanji's clothes were stirring up excitement. It was obvious that he had done this on purpose.

"What are you doing?" Shen Wushuang's eyes narrowed as he shouted in a deep voice.

Chen Xuanji, whose eyes had already turned pitch black, said calmly, "Your Excellency has said something. When he is dreaming, no one else should disturb him."

An expert of the Emperor level naturally did not need to sleep or rest. The so-called dream was naturally not a dream in the ordinary sense. Instead, he went to the depths of the Spiritual Sea and talked to Xu Han, who was imprisoned by him. Shen Wushuang was already extremely wary of Xu Han. In addition, the current situation was urgent, so he naturally couldn't contain his anger.

"Gui Gu Zi is in this hall. This matter concerns the success or failure of our actions. How can we stick to the rules?" He said sternly, clearly restraining himself from attacking Chen Xuanji at this moment.

Unfortunately, Chen Xuanji did not seem to accept his offer. He still said with a calm expression, "Your Excellency has a life. Do not disturb him."

When had Shen Wushuang ever been obstructed like this, his eyebrows instantly became heavy with killing intent, and he coldly said, "What if I have to disturb you?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the robes around his body stirred up, and his majestic aura was still gathering momentum.

Chen Xuanji was also unyielding. Even Meng Ke, Mu Ji, and Zhou Zhang, who were behind him, stepped forward and stood side by side with Chen Xuanji. They stared coldly at Shen Wushuang and Shen Wushuang.

The formation between the two sides was completely different.

"I don't think you've figured out your identities yet." Shen Wushuang raised his eyebrows and said coldly.

Previously, he had planned to bring these people into the Lunar Temple because of his own intentions. In fact, although these people in front of him could be considered outstanding people in the world, in his eyes, they were nothing more than ordinary people. The reason why he brought them into the Lunar Temple was entirely because of the Emperor's orders. In his heart's eye, he couldn't help but feel that these people were useless to the emperor. Seeing that the other party was openly opposing him, he was naturally dissatisfied.

"Your Excellency has not figured out your identity, right?" Chen Xuanji said coldly, "You and I are just dogs sitting on the throne. Do you think dogs can distinguish between high and low?"

Chen Xuanji's words caused Shen Wushuang's expression to change abruptly.

Once upon a time, he was a dog, a shepherd dog raised in the mortal world by a True Immortal and Ghost Corn in the sky. He didn't want to be a dog. He wanted to take control of his own destiny. That was why he chose to enter the embrace of the emperor after insight into the nature of the world. He wanted revenge, but he also wanted to change his own destiny.

Such determination and the pleasure of revenge made him forget for a moment an ironclad fact

He's still a dog.

It's just a dog with a different owner.

At that moment, the aura around Shen Wushuang became violent. Black Qi surged from behind him, enveloping Chen Xuanji and the others. A great battle was about to break out.

"Emperor, aren't you going out to take a look? Your servants seem to be about to start a fight." Sitting in the fence courtyard, Xu Han put down the tea cup in his hand and asked the man sitting on the opposite side with narrowed eyes.

The Emperor, who was no different from him in terms of clothes and appearance, smiled faintly. Then, he picked up the teacup in a calm manner and took a sip.

"Interesting people like Brother Xu can pick one out of ten thousand, but the dog guarding the door can catch a lot of them. If they want to fight, they can fight. It doesn't matter how many of them die or how many of them live."

Xu Han's expression changed slightly as he said, "Gui Gu Zi went there first. The Emperor is not in a hurry? Aren't you afraid that he will go first? Step by step, he will obtain 40% of the Emperor's power. At that time, you and I can only watch as the Gui Gu Zi rule the world."

The emperor narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Aren't you in a hurry?"

Xu Han was stunned. He took a deep look at the Emperor, as if he was weighing something in his heart. Then, he lowered his brows and remained silent.

The Emperor looked at Xu Han with interest, as if he was enjoying Xu Han's current appearance.

"Gui Gu Zi has already opened the seal with the body of the pseudo-god, but he hasn't taken out the power yet. As for the reason, I think you should know better than I do."

Hearing Emperor's words, Xu Han was stunned. He smiled and said, "Emperor, you're joking. Our emperor has been trapped in this illusion for a full nine months. How can I know what happened outside?"

"Oh?" The emperor smiled and said, "In that case, even if I wait a little longer, I don't think your Excellency will mind, right?"

The Emperor seemed to have eaten Xu Han well. He narrowed his eyes and asked. He picked up the teacup in a calm manner and drank a mouthful.

Xu Han looked at the other party for a while, but he could no longer maintain the calm on his face. At that time, he sighed and asked, "It's not something a businessman should do to start a bid on the ground."

"Businessmen don't talk about rules because they really care about them. They talk about rules so that they can earn more money." The emperor smiled and said, "But we really do have a one-shot deal. Naturally, we will earn as much as we can."

Xu Han was dumbfounded. Then, he smiled bitterly and nodded, "The Emperor was able to see through it."

"Then please give me the chips you want."

The emperor said in a deep voice, "I've been wondering for the past few days which one of you is better at calculating than Gui Gu Zi."

"The Ghost Rice Guild took such a big risk and gambled everything on that you would fight with me for the right to use this body, so that the pseudo-god could survive. Is their scheme really that childish? Or is it that even if they do, they don't have any other tricks left?"

"No matter how I think about it, I don't think the Ghost Rice can do such a risky thing with their temperament, so I can only try your thoughts."

"Since you are ready to sacrifice that fake god, then why are you still unable to let go of the few people who are entangled with the fake god? It seems like you have a lot to hide from me about our business."

Hearing this, Xu Han's expression turned a little ugly. Only then did he realize that what the Emperor had done earlier was not to exchange for more chips, but to test the weight of Fang Ziyu and the others in his heart. If he wasn't willing to sacrifice them, then the first thing he said about killing Fang Ziyu was probably a trap.

Obviously, Xu Han said to him.

"Then according to the Emperor's wishes, are we going to do this deal now or not?"

Xu Han calmed down as much as he could and asked the Emperor.

"Of course. Without this deal, we will all die. But you don't want to die, and I don't want to die either. Therefore, this deal still needs to be done. However, I'm afraid we have to find another way to do it."

"Emperor, please speak." Xu Han narrowed his eyes and asked. A cold light surged in the narrow and long gap between his eyes.

"Two paths." The Emperor stretched out his finger and waved it in front of Xu Han.

"First, wait for your friends to die at the hands of Gui Gu Zi. We'll make our move again. According to your plan, it's fine if you want to kill that fake god, or if you want to do something else. As long as you give up their lives, I'll do as you say."

After the Emperor finished speaking, he intentionally paused. His gaze landed on Xu Han with great interest, as if he was very interested in how this man would react at this moment.

As he had expected, Xu Han's expression was indeed ugly after hearing this. After a moment of silence, he actually took the initiative to ask, "What about the second method?"

The Emperor smiled even more. He looked at the black cat and the black dog in the corner of the courtyard. The two little fellows seemed to be unable to distinguish who was his master. For a moment, their eyes were puzzled, but they were rather lively. The Emperor shook his head. He thought to himself that Xu Han had really stayed here for a long time. All of his thoughts were focused on this illusion, so much so that everything in this illusion seemed to be real.

However, this was also good. Only a real illusion like this could trap Xu Han forever.

The Emperor who restrained his thoughts looked at Xu Hanyan again and said, "I want … all of the Emperor's power. As for you and your friends, I can let you continue to live in this world. Unless the rest of the beings in the Myriad Domains starry sky are extinct, I will definitely not attack you. How about it?"

"The so-called world of the Emperor is this illusion?" Xu Han asked.

"Naturally, after all, the world outside is destined to be destroyed with my return. What's wrong with this world, what's what you want?" The Emperor smiled.

Xu Han furrowed his brows tightly. He thought for a long time, and the expression on his face constantly changed.

"The longer you think, the faster your friends will die." The Emperor was not in a hurry, but said leisurely.

At this moment, the straw in Xu Han's heart that supported him was finally crushed by the Emperor's words.

He helplessly and painfully put down the cup in his hand and let out a long sigh.

"Then let's follow the Emperor's words."
