At this moment, Zhuge Zimo suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of danger.
He raised his head and saw that the Divine King was looking at him. A faint scrutinizing light circulated in his eyes.
Obviously, the Divine King was suspicious of his words. Or perhaps, the other party already knew something and the question just now was completely to test him.
"Lord Divine King, please believe me!"
After a moment of silence, Zhuge Zimo continued to insist, "He is indeed dead!"
Now that things had come to this, he had no other choice.
If he denied his words now, it would not only mean that Qin Yi might be in danger, but he himself might also be punished!
The old man in front of him looked a little old, but he did not have the benevolence and love that most elders had for their juniors.
In his eyes, there was only supreme authority and absolute obedience. Even if Zhuge Zimo was his biological grandson, as long as he found out that he had lied to him and betrayed him, he would definitely be severely punished!
Without a doubt, if he changed his words now, it would be equivalent to making himself suffer!
All the hard work that he and Mu Chan 'er had put in previously would be for naught in an instant.
When he said these words, his expression became extremely serious and his mood was extremely calm.
This did not mean that he was not afraid at all. In fact, he was more nervous than anyone else.
But now, he did not dare to show it at all. He even forced himself to calm down.
This was because the person sitting in front of him right now was a true old monster.
The other party could clearly grasp a subtle movement, a glance, and even his heartbeat. As long as there was a slight deviation, all his previous efforts would be wasted.
Even though it was very difficult, he had no choice but to do so.
At this moment, he also felt a dense and oppressive divine sense descend on his body. On the other side, the Divine King's eyes were also fixed on him.
After a long time, the other party finally retracted his gaze. The divine sense and oppression that had been exerting on him also vanished at the same time.
"Perhaps, this time, you are not lying."
Hearing such a calm sentence from the other party's mouth, Zhuge Zimo finally secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
However, he did not let his guard down. He maintained his original expression and smiled. "Thank you for your trust, Celestial King."
"Zimo, you are the grandson that I value the most. Your strength, talent, and intelligence are the best."
At this moment, an astonishingly gentle expression appeared on the Godking's face. He continued, "I believe that as long as you follow the path I've arranged for you, there will be a day when you will sit in my position."
Zhuge Zimo hurriedly said, "Zimo is only willing to work under Godking Grandpa's leadership and share his burdens. I don't care about anything else! "
The Divine King said indifferently, "People will eventually grow old. Even at our level of cultivation, it is unavoidable. The saying that we live as long as heaven and earth is just a joke. Our lifespans are indeed longer than those of the weak. However, this was only because the loss of power was a little slower. As time passed, they would still age and die. The future belongs to you youngsters after all. "
Zhuge Zimo did not know why the Godking would suddenly say such a thing. However, he did not let his guard down. He knew that it was very likely that the other party was purposely saying these words to break his mental defenses.
As for the so-called feelings, he had already received proof from his aunt, Zhuge Mengyao. The person in front of him was able to put his own daughter under house arrest for 20 years and did not even look at her once during these 20 years.
Not only that, he did not care about the price and used a sealing formation to seal off the entire Hundred Rivers Region.
This already showed that he was a person without many feelings.
Now that the Godking was playing the emotional card, it was obvious what he was planning.
"Thank you for your guidance, Grandpa Divine King!"
Immediately, he said respectfully, "I, Zimo, will remember what you said today and will never forget it!"
"Good!"
The Godking nodded and continued, "Now, I have one more thing to ask you. Recently, the sealing formation at the border has been broken through twice. Do you know about this? "
Hearing this, Zhuge Zimo's heart sank. "I didn't expect that I would still be discovered."
How could he not know about this?
The first time was to send off Qin Yi. He was at the scene and saw everything with his own eyes. From the beginning to the end, he was the mastermind of this matter.
Although he was not at the scene the second time, he knew what was going on without thinking.
Obviously, the second time the formation was broken through was because Mu Chan 'er and her servant had already left the Hundred Rivers Region.
Previously, he thought that he had done it flawlessly and that no one would know about it. However, he did not expect that he would still be discovered.
Thinking of this, Zhuge Zimo shook his head. "Zimo does not know."
"You're lying!"
A cold voice suddenly resounded through the entire hall, causing the blood in Zhuge Zimo's body to churn and he almost fainted. "Zimo, you've been back for some time now. During this time, I have been waiting for you to apologize to me. However, you did not come after so long. Now that I have taken the initiative to look for you, you are still unwilling to tell me. You have really disappointed me. "
After a pause, the Divine King continued. "You probably don't know this, but after I modified the formation, not only did it become more secure, it can also transmit the aura at the scene to me. Although the power of the formation will be weakened when a passage is forcibly opened, it cannot transmit information. However, before this, I had already sensed that there were three auras, including yours, lingering near the sealing formation. Now that things have come to this, are you still trying to deny it? Tell me, who are the other two auras? "
Hearing this, Zhuge Zimo's head immediately buzzed.
He did not expect that the Divine King would have such a trick up his sleeve. Not only could he know the situation of the formation, but he could also transmit auras to the Divine King.
Fortunately, although he was discovered, the auras did not transmit over when the formation was broken. This meant that Qin Yi and the others' leaving the Hundred Rivers Region had not been discovered.
If that was the case, there was still room for negotiation.
