Chapter 129 The Secret of the Imperial Seal—The Legend of Immortality?
Linde Hall, the emperor's bedroom.
Ye Feng used the Qi-Gazing Technique to absorb the remaining dragon energy. In an instant, he became full of energy, and the realm of the middle stage of the Heaven-Breaking General that he had just reached was much more stable.
He opened his eyes again, looked at Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong in front of him, and smiled faintly: "The emperor is dead, and your greatest support has collapsed."
"Take out the things and I won't kill you!"
"Don't negotiate, you don't have any qualifications right now!"
Zhang Rang, who had prepared a long speech, was instantly silenced by Zhao Zhong.
Zhang Rang winked at Zhao Zhong, and a jade seal with a diameter of four inches and emitting a strange green light appeared.
A hint of interest flashed in Ye Feng's eyes.
Zhang Rang smiled flatteringly: "Only capable people can occupy this position in the world."
"Of course, this item can only be obtained by people with ability."
"I have seen no hero in the world who can compare to Marshal Ye. If the world becomes chaotic again, the one who can finally sweep across the nine provinces and unify the world must be Marshal Ye."
"We are willing to follow the wise master and go through fire and water, no matter what!"
If someone like He Jin heard such compliments, he would definitely be eager to make a move and his heart would be burning with excitement, but Ye Feng had already achieved the mentality of not being happy with things or sad with himself, so naturally he would not have too many emotional fluctuations.
With a faint smile, Ye Feng looked at Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong: "Your era is over. Put down your things and I will let you leave!"
"Power and wealth are but passing clouds, so why should we cling to them so much?"
Zhao Zhong's heart moved, and his eyes flashed with eagerness: "Does Marshal Ye really mean what he said? Are you really willing to let us go?"
Ye Feng said: "You are useless, why should I kill you?"
"But I'm not sure whether others will have the intention to kill."
"After all, He Jin and Yuan Huai died in your hands. I'm afraid this bloody case is..."
Just as Zhao Zhong was about to nod in agreement, Zhang Rang at the side snatched the imperial seal from his hands.
"What are you doing?"
"As long as we put our things down, we can survive."
"Although we have no rights, the things we have saved are enough to last a lifetime."
"Don't be stupid!"
Zhang Rang glanced at Zhao Zhong sinisterly and said, "Without power, a village headman can kill us."
"Besides, if we really hand it over, do you think Ye Feng will let us go?"
Zhao Zhong looked at each other, a hint of hesitation flashed across his face.
Zhang Rang continued, "Emperors of every dynasty have passed down a rumor that if one obtains the imperial seal, one can touch the secret of eternal life."
"So since the Qin Shi Huang, all emperors for hundreds of years have used the imperial seal as their main possession, just to get a glimpse of the secrets of heaven."
"So this imperial seal is more valuable than our lives."
"Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others are leading the Eight Armies of Xiyuan to besiege the city gate. How long can your Imperial Guards hold out?"
"As long as they come in, we still have the possibility of prosperity and wealth."
"And you want to obtain the secret of eternal life without paying any price. Do you think we will give it to you?"
"Fell into your trap?"
There was a flash of surprise in Ye Feng's eyes, not because of Zhang Rang's action, but because of what he had just said.
A few months ago, Ye Feng used the five-colored golden dragon to devour the destiny of the Han Dynasty and the Taiping Dao. Zuo Ci also mentioned the imperial seal.
Later, out of interest, Ye Feng also specifically looked up information about the imperial seal, and found that there was indeed the rumor that Zhang Rang had just mentioned.
But Ye Feng thought of the imperial seal made by Qin Shi Huang. But he only lived to be fifty, so how could he have the secret of immortality?
But now that Zhang Rang mentioned this, Ye Feng really became interested. Just now, he touched the imperial seal with his mental power, but it was like a drop in the ocean, with no reaction at all. However, the less reaction there was, the more mysterious this thing was.
With a strong interest in his eyes, Ye Feng looked at Zhang Rang and said with a smile: "But why do you want to stop me?"
"With the hundreds of warriors around you?"
"You should know that Zilong and I are both heavenly generals. Killing these hundreds of people is as easy as killing chickens and dogs. It doesn't take much effort at all."
Seeing that Ye Feng was attracted by what he had just said, Zhang Rang breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as Ye Feng does not fight to the death, he will have room for negotiation.
He raised the imperial seal with both hands and said, "Have you heard the story of Lin Xiangru and the Heshi Bi?"
Ye Feng paused, then smiled and said, "Do you want to live and die with the Imperial Seal?"
Zhang Rang nodded heavily, held up the imperial seal, stood behind Zhao Zhong, and shouted, "That's right."
"If there is no benefit at all, I will die sooner or later. Why should I help you find the secret of eternal life?"
"Once the Imperial Seal is broken, there is no chance of its recovery."
"The choice is in your hands."
At this moment, Zhang Rang seemed to have grasped Ye Feng's only weakness, and his eyes were filled with an unusual determination.
Zhao Zhong was still cursing Zhang Rang inwardly, but when he saw Ye Feng's interested look, he instantly perked up.
When you can enjoy wealth and glory, who would want to live a miserable life on the run, with no safety in sight?
At this moment, he, like Zhang Rang, felt a sense of luck.
Zhao Yun's eyes turned cold, and he raised the Longdan Silver Spear in his hand: "A piece of broken stone, you still want to threaten my master?"
"What kind of bullshit immortality is this? If there really is such a method, how could the Qin Shi Huang who created him die in the sand dunes at the age of fifty?"
"My lord, don't listen to the evil words of these two eunuchs. Kill them both with one move!"
Zhang Rang was extremely nervous. He stepped back and raised the imperial seal: "If I die, the imperial seal will also be shattered into pieces."
"Ye Feng, after all, we don't have too many conflicts, and I helped you a lot before."
"Can't you leave us a way to survive?"
Ye Feng shook his head: "I have already given you a way to survive, but you don't want to leave, what else can I do?"
"The human heart is not enough for a snake to swallow an elephant."
"Zilong, why do you think there are so many stupid people in the world?"
Zhao Yun sneered: "That's because they think they are valuable, but in fact..."
"Ye Feng, don't you want to know the secret of eternal life?"
"You will never find another way in the world except to pass down the imperial seal."
"Think about it, when you were at the peak of your power, you didn't have enough life left. Isn't that a pity?"
Zhang Rang kept imagining the beauty of eternal life, hoping to impress Ye Feng.
It must be said that these flattering words make people feel very comfortable. Ye Feng nodded and said: "It's very good, but you made a mistake!"
"what?"
"What's important is not you, but the imperial seal. As long as I kill you and take the imperial seal, I will still have a chance to verify this rumor."
"There is a way to heaven but you don't take it. There is no way to hell but you choose to go there."
"Since you are seeking death, how can I not let you do what you want?"
Zhang Rang's eyes flashed with ferocity, and he was about to hit the ground: "We will die sooner or later anyway, so you can never get what I can't get!"
"Let's both suffer and see who suffers more!"
After saying this, Zhang Rang threw the imperial seal in his hand directly onto the floor, ignoring Zhao Zhong's dissuasion.
