The Emperor's Trial

"Why wasn't he moving at all? He looked dead."

Qin Jun pointed at Xu Zhongsheng and asked curiously. Once fifth on the Hero Ranking, he had now fallen into such a fate worse than death. If word got out, countless living beings would surely be shocked.

Han Ba twirled a finger around her dry hair and said carelessly, "How does Your Majesty want him to move?"

As soon as she spoke, Xu Zhongsheng abruptly sprang to his feet. His bloodshot eyes stared fixedly at Qin Jun, making Qin Jun's scalp tingle.

"Can't he speak for himself?" Qin Jun asked doubtfully. No matter how he looked at Xu Zhongsheng, the man seemed like a puppet.

Han Ba rolled her eyes at him and said irritably, "If he could speak for himself, that would mean his original intelligence remained. Would you still feel at ease?"

Qin Jun's mouth twitched. Better not. This guy had once been the fifth Hero Ranking contender, full of schemes and deeply calculating. Qin Jun did not want an unexpected change within Yan Wang City when the great battle arrived.

Qin Jun shook his head with a smile, then turned and left.

He had to see Xu Zhongsheng become a zombie with his own eyes before he could rest easy. After all, Xu Zhongsheng was a Late Grand Unity Supreme Immortal Realm existence.

"Your Majesty, can Han Ba truly be trusted?"

Li Si asked in a low voice. With Xu Zhongsheng, Han Ba was effectively equivalent to two Grand Unity Supreme Immortals, already a formidable deterrent.

Yang Chan also looked at Qin Jun worriedly. This was no trivial matter. Han Ba had only just pledged allegiance, so she could not be trusted too deeply.
