The signal is weak in the Dongshan area, and there is no signal in most of the imperial mausoleum areas.

However, due to recent engineering renovations, a signal tower has been added to the Dongshan Imperial Mausoleum.

Inside the tomb of Emperor Luo Li, Zuo Quan was so frightened by the sudden sound of a communicator that his head almost exploded.

"It's Ren Yisheng!"

He took out his communicator and saw the name being called on it.

Zuo Quan had almost no contact with the Ren Household in the past, but because of Zhang Xuezhou, he has been dealing with Ren Yisheng and others quite a lot recently, even to the point of being too close.

When the communicator made another call, it startled Zuo Quan, but he quickly regained his composure.

"They brought the remains to me for diagnosis and treatment. I said a few words, and they probably wanted to ask me some more questions," Zuo Quan said.

"Those three specimens at the High-tech Agricultural Products Center are a lesson for you. Don't drag me down with you when you want to die!"

A plant with three human-face-like flowers sprouted from Luo Zhong's coffin, and then put the face-like flowers back in.

A few seconds later, Zuo Luo crawled out of the imperial coffin, his face pale.

He frowned and had to give Zuo Quan a warning.

"You should know how terrifying the 'Mirror' Clan is. They control people much more easily than we do," Zuo Quan said. "The 'Mirror' Clan is hiding in the Sinkhole No. 2. Their presence poses a great risk to us!"

"Mirror Clan, hmph!"

"Don't think this is a small matter. He has intruded into the area that the Lord wants to control, so he must harbor ill intentions towards the Lord," Zuo Quan warned. "If we can't eliminate 'Mirror,' then all our efforts will be in vain, and our fates will be uncertain!"

"You can't just say things like that!"

"Ren Yisheng is a very interesting person; he's started to trust us!"

Within the dark and sunless tomb, it was impossible to know the passage of time in the outside world, and Zuo Luo was unaware of the changes happening outside.

In just a few dozen days, Zuo Quan never expected that he and Ren Yisheng would become friends.

Thanks to Zhang Xuezhou's matchmaking, Ren Yisheng actually came to like Zuo Quan and even welcomed him very much.

Zuo Quan recently noticed that Wang Haoran, Li Yingbo, and others were looking at him with a more friendly gaze.

Zuo Quan was quite satisfied with this change. Ren Yisheng didn't treat him as an outsider, and Zuo Quan also regarded Ren Yisheng as almost an insider. The friendliness of their relationship was second only to that of Zuo Teng, Zhang Xuezhou, and others.

"My strength is lacking, and the subspecies you subdued have either died, failed, or failed to grow sufficiently. We need assistance," Zuo Quan said. "Without additional power, do you think we can handle the Mirror Clan?"

"Snort!"

"Or perhaps we could lure the experts of the Mirror Clan to our master?" Zuo Quan asked. "How difficult do you think that would be?"

"The Sinkhole No. 2 has been closed for less than thirty years, so the Mirror Clan must not be very powerful yet," Zuo Luo said, frowning.

"It's precisely because they're not strong enough that the Alliance States are qualified to deal with us," Zuo Quan said. "If they were truly allowed to develop, the Alliance States would be far beyond our reach!"

"As long as my lord..."

"Our lord can indeed suppress the Mirror Clan, but don't forget that our lord has been tormented over the years, and now his strength is less than one-tenth of what it used to be. If the Mirror Clan were tormented again, our lord would not be able to withstand it," Zuo Quan said.

"As long as Luo Zhong is found, the Lord will be able to regain his strength and easily suppress the Mirror Clan!"

"But we can't find Luo Zhong!"

Zuo Quan looked at the constantly ringing communicator, but he didn't answer it. Instead, he told Zuo Luo that there was no response, and then he dialed back the number that Ren Yisheng had hung up on.

"Yes, yes, yes, I came to the construction site of the Dongshan Imperial Mausoleum after being discharged from the hospital. The situation here is not bad, there have been no problems, and the project progress is barely normal. We can't cause trouble for Committee Member Zhang, so we still need to get things done!"

Through the communicator, Zuo Quan responded to Ren Yisheng repeatedly.

If Zhang Xuezhou, the director of the Dongshan Imperial Mausoleum, is conducting an inspection, this kind of thing is perfectly normal.

When Zuo Quan came to inspect and manage the situation, things started to go wrong.

Even though Zuo Quan spoke in a grand manner, it couldn't hide the fact that the questioner was Ren Yisheng, and Zhang Xuezhou and others were listening in.

"I'm free anytime. I just came out for a walk because there's so much space. Where are you guys?"

"The area around North Rehe?"

"I remember seeing that 'mirror' in a book, but I've forgotten which one. I'll try to find it for you later!"

"Alright, I'll fly over in my aircraft in a bit and we can discuss it further!"

Zuo Quan held the communicator, turned on the external speaker, and chatted with Ren Yisheng for a few minutes before hanging up.

"I told you we had a good relationship with them," Zuo Quan said.

"It's a pleasant surprise!"

Zuo Luo nodded, then clutched his chest and coughed several times.

Zhang Xuezhou couldn't control this subspecies, and the shock sequence even backfired on Zuo Luo, but he did a good job with the network of relationships.

Zuo Quan and Ren Yisheng had an extremely close relationship, which was even better than Zuo Luo had imagined.

He was furious, but amidst his anxiety, he felt the situation was barely acceptable.

"That Zhang Xuezhou..."

"Wait until I enter the Seven Star Plant!"

Zuo Luo was extremely unwilling to accept his failure to control Zhang Xuezhou.

However, Zuo Luo currently has no means to control Zhang Xuezhou. He can only wait for the Seven Star Plant to generate a subspecies and see if he can generate control over multiple plants before allocating another spot to Zhang Xuezhou.

"When will you be able to become a Seven-Star Plant?" Zuo Quan asked.

"One option is for the Lord to bestow a blessing," Zuo Luo pointed and said, "Another option is for you to help me control the Eastern Mountain Imperial Mausoleum, and yet another option is to extract Ba'erbo and the others from the High-tech Agricultural Products Center for me to absorb!"

"You want to eat my brother's body?"

Since it is currently impossible for the Lord to bless Zoro, only two other options remain.

One solution is to strip Zuo Quan of his authority, requiring him to hand over the Dongshan Imperial Mausoleum, which conflicts with the entrustment from the master. Another solution stems from the numerous sword orchid corpses at the High-tech Agricultural Products Center. If Zuo Luo devours any of them, he has a certain probability of becoming a Seven-Star Plant.

Zuo Quan did not want to disobey the Lord's entrustment, so only one last option remained.

But this plan also left Zuo Quan somewhat unwilling.

"Barbo and the others should be able to make up for my losses," Zuo Luo said with a gloomy expression. "I will not devour my own kind unless absolutely necessary, but my body is now severely damaged, and the 'Mirror' clan has appeared. I can no longer afford to recuperate slowly!"

"But..."

"Or you can go and deal with 'Mirror' separately, and I'll stay here and recuperate slowly!"

Zuo Luo indicated that he was currently too weak to get involved in the matter.

If the left side needs to contribute, then the left side needs to cooperate fully.

"The surveillance at the High-tech Agricultural Products Center is quite strict. Changkong Yinghao and Changkong Kong Yinglian are often seen there. I need to wait for an opportunity to take Ba'erbo and the others away. You need to be patient!"

Zuo Luo began preparing to lie back in the imperial coffin, which made Zuo Quan think for nearly ten seconds before giving a reply.

"Resolve the 'Mirror' issue as quickly as possible, or help me enter the Seven Star Clan so I can find a Seventh Sequence individual to stabilize the situation!"

Zuo Luo lay back down in the imperial coffin, and two wilted human face flowers emerged, only to sprout a vibrant human face flower a few seconds later.

The human face on the flower responded, then quickly shrank back into a flower bud.

In just a short time, there was no sound from within the imperial coffin.

This made Zuo Quan stare at the imperial coffin for a few seconds before striding quickly away from the imperial mausoleum.

Inside the imperial coffin, a vine emerged with a human face flower on top, which then slowly transformed into Zuo Teng's face.

This face of Zuo Teng, covered in blemishes, stared at the departing Zuo Quan for a long time.

"I shouldn't have used Zhang Xuezhou as a subspecies. It wasted a third of my Star Plant power. Pei Jing could recover it, but Zhang Xuezhou's brain Star Plant power was completely destroyed. Even after my body recovers, I won't be able to recover it. This will inevitably lead to a drop in my Star Plant level. Damn it, it's all your fault that I misjudged and chose Zhang Xuezhou. If you can't solve 'Mirror,' don't blame me..."

His face showed a hint of resentment, and after speaking fiercely for a moment, his face turned red, and the flower that had transformed into Zuo Teng's human face opened its mouth as if about to vomit blood.

This caused Zuo Teng's face to fade away, and instead, a flower bud appeared there, spewing out powder.

After vomiting several times, the flower bud wilted and listlessly shrank back into Luo Zhong's imperial coffin.
