However, he did not attack immediately. Instead, he looked at Qian Jiayi and said coldly, "Young Lady Qian, are you trying to betray His Majesty?"
"Eunuch Liang, I had no choice," Qian Jiayi said calmly.
If not for Wei Lulan and the Fifth Prince's coercion, she would not have come to this.
"No choice? Then have you ever thought about your Qian Clan? If His Majesty finds out that you're the leader here, your Qian Clan will have no one left alive! "Eunuch Liang said coldly.
Qian Jiayi's expression immediately darkened. She was naturally worried about this.
"So, Eunuch Liang, you can't leave this place no matter what!" Young Master Gu said coldly.
If the Emperor found out, not only Qian Jiayi, but his Gu Clan would also be in trouble. So, after hearing Eunuch Liang's words, he naturally would not be nice to him.
"Is that so? It's not that easy to keep me here!" Eunuch Liang frowned.
As they spoke, Qian Jiayi and the other four had already surrounded Eunuch Liang.
"So what if you have more people? At most, you can fight me to a draw," Eunuch Liang said coldly.
During this period of time, he had naturally seen through Qian Jiayi and the others' abilities.
"Eunuch Liang, you're wrong to think that way," Qian Jiayi said calmly.
"Wrong? I don't think so! "With that, Eunuch Liang began to silently recite the rune terms.
Qian Jiayi and the others did the same. In the next moment, waves of cold air attacked the other party with them as the center.
In the beginning, the cold air that Qian Jiayi and the others released was only comparable to Eunuch Liang's. However, as time passed, Eunuch Liang's expression became more and more unpleasant.
This was because he realized that the cold air that Qian Jiayi and the others released was obviously stronger than his.
"Looks like you used some kind of joint attack!" Eunuch Liang, who had noticed something, could not help but say with an unpleasant expression.
Although he had never seen a joint attack, if it was not a joint attack, Qian Jiayi and the others' cold air would not be able to suppress his. So, he immediately guessed it.
"Eunuch Liang, you guessed correctly. We did use a joint attack." Qian Jiayi nodded.
"Isn't this joint attack technique lost? Where did you get it?" Eunuch Liang was extremely confused. In the next moment, he could not help but be shocked as he thought of something. "Could it be … that you guys are related to those people in the Mask Academy?"
The news that someone in the Mask Academy could activate the joint attack technique had already spread to the palace, so Eunuch Liang knew about it.
However, because Wu Ziheng covered it up well, the people in the imperial palace only knew that those people had fallen. They didn't know that Zhou Yingxue was one of them, otherwise, she would have been captured long ago.
"What Mask Academy? I've never been to Mask Academy," Qian Jiayi denied directly.
It wasn't that Qian Jiayi denied it, but she didn't know that Linlong was the person who turned the Mask Academy upside down.
"Then where did you learn it from?" Eunuch Liang was still unwilling to give up.
Qian Jiayi no longer paid attention to him. Not long after, Eunuch Liang collapsed to the ground.
"Not bad, you've all improved a lot," Lin Long praised.
If he had joined in just now, he would have been able to take down Eunuch Liang faster. The reason why he didn't do so was to observe the strength of Qian Jiayi and the others.
Seeing that Qian Jiayi and the others easily defeated Eunuch Liang, he was naturally satisfied.
Qian Jiayi said, "Young master, we've already taken down two of them, but there are still two more."
"Ignore them for now. You guys follow me to the altar," Linlong said directly.
After seeing the strength of Qian Jiayi and the others, he knew that it wouldn't be a problem to take down the runic beast. Thus, his first thought was naturally to bring Qian Jiayi and the others to the altar.
"Young master, have you already found the altar?" Qian Jiayi and the others couldn't help but exclaim in joy.
"Yes, I found it. However, the only path to the altar was blocked by a runic beast. I wasn't its match, so I could only think of a way to increase my strength. Before I could do so, I met Eunuch Liang and then you guys … Now that I've seen your strength, I'm naturally confident that I can deal with the runic beast," Linlong said with a smile.
"Then we'll follow young master," Qian Jiayi immediately said.
"We'll follow young master," the others echoed.
"Okay, let's set off now." Linlong nodded and immediately led the group towards the altar.
After walking for a while, Linlong's brows furrowed. He immediately stopped when he sensed that someone was following him.
"Young master, what's wrong?" Qian Jiayi couldn't help but ask when she saw Linlong stop.
"We're being followed," Linlong said in a low voice.
"Who's following you?" Qian Jiayi couldn't help but ask in surprise.
"I don't know, but it should be one or two of them. It might even be that Eunuch Liu," Linlong said.
"Then what should we do?" Qian Jiayi asked.
Right now, Qian Jiayi was the closest to him. His voice was also very low, so only Qian Jiayi knew what was going on.
"You guys continue forward, I'll circle around to see if I can stop that person. If I can stop him, then you guys can rush over and help me deal with him," Linlong immediately said.
"Okay." Qian Jiayi nodded.
Linlong immediately increased his speed. After taking a few steps, he arrived behind a large tree and immediately circled to the right.
Such a situation naturally made the others puzzled.
Qian Jiayi said in a low voice, "Young master has discovered that someone is following us. Everyone, continue forward. When I give the order, we will turn back to help young master!"
After hearing Qian Jiayi's words, the group naturally continued forward.
Soon, Linlong made a big circle, and by then, he was already very close to the other party.
After taking a few more steps, he saw the other party and recognized who it was. It was Eunuch Liu from before.
At this moment, Eunuch Liu was still following closely behind Qian Jiayi and the others. He didn't even notice that Linlong had already circled to the side.
Linlong was prepared to rush over and stop the other party. Who would have thought that at this moment, a ferocious beast's roar would suddenly come from his direction?
Eunuch Liu immediately turned his head to look just like Eunuch Liang.
Eunuch Liu actually saw Linlong's figure. After seeing him, Eunuch Liu actually turned around and ran.
Eunuch Liu clearly saw Linlong and the others taking down Eunuch Liang. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so frightened. Linlong frowned and thought to himself.
When Linlong and the others took down Eunuch Liang, there were many ferocious beasts around them. Eunuch Liu was obviously hiding in such a place, which was why he didn't notice him.
Linlong hurriedly chased after Eunuch Liu. Although he was faster than Eunuch Liu, he still frowned.
If he continued chasing like this, even if he stopped Eunuch Liu, Qian Jiayi and the others would not be able to help him in time because Qian Jiayi and the others were quite far away.
By then, he would probably be injured by Eunuch Liu before Qian Jiayi and the others arrived.
Therefore, Linlong gave up after chasing for a while. However, at this critical moment, he still released the bamboo rat and memorized the other party's aura. He would chase after the other party when it was appropriate or necessary.
Eunuch Liu couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief when he saw that Linlong didn't chase after him.
He saw how Linlong and the others dealt with Eunuch Liang just now. He knew that if he was stopped by Linlong, he would definitely be besieged by the others. By then, he would definitely end up like Eunuch Liang.
'How did that kid discover me?' Eunuch Liu was extremely puzzled.
Earlier on, he could already tell that Linlong was one of the three people who barged into the place of opportunity. Because of that, he could tell from Linlong's clothes that the person who was chasing after him was Linlong.
Naturally, he couldn't figure out why.
'Should I continue to follow him?' Subsequently, such a thought flashed across his mind.
After careful consideration, he gave up on that plan because he couldn't do anything to those people even if he followed them.
If there were other people who entered the fourth level, he could join forces with them.
However, after walking in there for so long, apart from the people who were caught by Linlong and the others, he did not see anyone else at all. Therefore, he knew that he was probably the only one who entered.
Since he was no match for the other party, the only thing he could think of was to go out and report the situation to the emperor.
After making up his mind, he silently chanted the rune terms to leave the secret realm. Soon, he appeared on the palace's martial arts field again.
"Eunuch Liu, why are you out again?" The people around him were naturally surprised to see Eunuch Liu.
Eunuch Liu ignored them and entered the secret realm again.
Not long after, he arrived outside the place of opportunity where the emperor and the others were.
The emperor happened to be outside the place of opportunity. When he saw Eunuch Liu walking over, his expression instantly turned ugly.
Since Eunuch Liu came like that, he definitely couldn't deal with the situation inside.
He immediately asked, "Eunuch Liu, how's the situation inside?"
"Your Majesty, this old servant is useless. I can't capture the people inside. Moreover, I'm afraid that the others have all been captured," Eunuch Liu hurriedly said.
"Oh, then you should know who's inside, right?" The emperor said coldly.
"I think so." Eunuch Liu nodded and continued, "The leader should be Qian Jiayi!"
"Qian Jiayi? Qian Jiayi from the Qian Family? "The emperor couldn't help but be surprised.
The others were also extremely shocked. They couldn't figure out how Qian Jiayi, who was only average, could bring people into the fourth level.
Therefore, someone could not help but say, "Qian Jiayi can only activate level-2 Ice Talisman. How can she bring people into the fourth level?"
Clearly, their understanding was still stuck at the time of the competition.
"You're wrong. Not only can Qian Jiayi activate level-2 Ice Talisman, but she can also activate level-5 Ice Talisman!" Eunuch Liu said.
"Qian Jiayi can activate level-5 Ice Talisman? Eunuch Liu, are you joking? "Someone could not help but doubt.
Even the emperor had a questioning look on his face.
Although he didn't know Qian Jiayi's previous strength, he knew Qian Jiayi's age. He didn't think that Qian Jiayi could control level-5 Ice Talisman at such a young age.
"Your Majesty, this is absolutely true. This old servant is willing to guarantee it with my life!" Eunuch Liu hurriedly said.
Hearing Eunuch Liu's words, the others reluctantly believed him.
"Then who else is there? Are there any powerful people?" The emperor asked again.
"Other than Qian Jiayi, there are about six or seven people who can basically activate level-5 Ice Talisman," Eunuch Liu said.
"It can't be, there are so many people who can activate the level five ice talismans, how could they hide from our eyes, hide from the Runic Magic Circle, and enter the secret plane?" someone shouted again as soon as he finished speaking.
The others were also extremely puzzled.
"The only possibility is that they didn't have this strength before entering the mystic realm. They only increased their strength to this level after entering the mystic realm," Eunuch Liu said.
"Eunuch Liu, you must be joking, right? How could their strength increase so much in such a short time? "Someone questioned again.
"I didn't believe it at first either. After I found out that Qian Jiayi and the others also had such strength, I had no choice but to believe it." Eunuch Liu smiled bitterly.
"This old servant is willing to guarantee it with my life!" Eunuch Liu guaranteed again.
"Could it be that there's some kind of opportunity in there that can allow their strength to soar?" Someone could not help but ask.
"I don't know about that." Eunuch Liu shook his head.
"Eunuch Liu, other than Qian Jiayi, who else do you know?" The emperor asked.
"Other than Qian Jiayi, I don't know anyone else." Eunuch Liu shook his head.
"Alright." The emperor nodded, then directly said to the people beside him, "Bring Qian Zhenghe here immediately! As for the rest of the Qian family, immediately arrest them! "
Qian Zhenghe was Qian Jiayi's father.
Since the leader inside was Qian Jiayi, he naturally had to capture Qian Zhenghe and ask him if he was plotting something.
"Yes!" Someone immediately received the order and left.
"Your Majesty, that passage still can't be opened?" Eunuch Liu asked.
Since the emperor and the others were waiting outside, there was definitely no way to open the passage inside.
"Not yet." The emperor's expression was ugly.
Then, he directly turned around and walked down the place of opportunity. The others hurriedly followed behind him.
Soon, they arrived in front of the wall.
Seeing that the emperor had brought people in, one of the people inside hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the Runic Magic Circle is still very unstable. There's no way to open the passage."
Even if this person did not say it, the emperor and the others could see that the Runic Magic Circle was unstable.
Such a situation naturally caused them to frown.
What else could they do? They could only wait inside.
If the leader inside was really Qian Jiayi, then Qian Zhenghe would definitely know something. Thinking of what Eunuch Liu had said, such a thought flashed through the emperor's mind.
With this thought in mind, he naturally wanted to see Qian Zhenghe immediately.
Of course, he was also worried that Qian Zhenghe would have a bad premonition and escape.
However, to his relief, Qian Zhenghe was quickly brought to him.
