The Burial Tower of Immortals buries the heavens, the earth, and all the immortals.

Hei Er's voice trembled, and tears welled in his eyes.

Qin Changye glanced down at her, somewhat speechless.

You were the one who said I couldn't do it.

Now that I'm fine, why are you crying?

"Who sent you to kill me?"

Qin Changye paused for a moment and then questioned him.

Hei Er's expression changed drastically, but she quickly regained her pitiful look: "Young Master, you must be joking, right? Even if you gave Xiao Rou ten times the courage, she wouldn't dare to kill you!"

"Still not admitting it?"

Just as Qin Changye was about to continue punishing Hei Er, she quickly withdrew.

"I underestimated you after all, making me sacrifice my body in vain. But did you think that was all I was capable of?"

She pointed to the incense she had added when she came in and said with a sneer, "The incense I just added was a sleeping potion. Once inhaled, it will prevent you from gathering any spiritual power for a short period of time."

She had tested the effects of this aphrodisiac countless times; no one below the King Martial Realm could resist it.

After saying this, she suddenly raised her right arm and slammed it down hard on the bronze pillar at the head of the bed.

Click!

The cracking sound of bones breaking was particularly jarring in the silent room.

Qin Changye was puzzled. Even if everyone was under the influence of the incense and unable to use their spiritual power, why hurt themselves first when they could just fight hand-to-hand?

Is it to build up some anger?

On the other side, after his right arm was smashed off, Hei Er didn't utter a sound. Instead, he gritted his teeth, grabbed the sharpest part of the ulna bone at the broken point with his left hand, and pulled it outwards with a sudden force.

Bone fragments, along with flesh, were pulled out and held in the hand, like an irregularly shaped dagger.

Qin Changye suddenly realized.

Because he had made too many enemies recently, Li Yourong was worried about his safety. Therefore, the maids of the Prince of Qin's mansion would conduct a strict body search before entering his room, removing all weapons and even jewelry that could hurt people.

If it came down to hand-to-hand combat, the woman knew she was no match for him, especially since he had just emptied her body. So she broke her arm and used the rather sharp ulna bone at the cut as a "dagger".

With weapons in hand, the chances of winning increase dramatically.

Qin Changye couldn't help but sigh, this woman is even more ruthless than a ruthless person, she's a wolf in sheep's clothing!

At the same time, Hei Er gripped the "dagger" and stabbed it straight at Qin Changye's heart.

Her attack was incredibly fast and precise, a deadly strike honed through countless real-world sparring sessions.

However, the "dagger" pierced Qin Changye's chest but couldn't penetrate even an inch.

"You've been drugged by my incense, how can you still mobilize your cultivation?" Hei Er exclaimed in shock.

"From the moment you entered, I knew you came with ill intentions, and I also noticed that you had lit a sleeping potion."

Of course, it wouldn't matter if Qin Changye hadn't discovered it or hadn't taken precautions against the sleeping potion.

He possesses a pure yang immortal body, making him impervious to all magic; this bit of sleeping incense has no effect on him at all.

Hei Er slumped to the ground, utterly despairing: "I lost. Do whatever you want with me."

Qin Changye walked up to her, bent down and took her right arm.

Hei Er closed his eyes, waiting for his neck to be snapped.

She wasn't afraid of death; when the Sixth Prince saved her ten years ago, her life was no longer hers.

She was simply unwilling to accept that she hadn't been able to remove this thorn in the side of the Sixth Prince, and that she could no longer help him kill or do things for him.

However, the next moment, Qin Changye did not break her neck. Instead, he pressed his fingers on her broken bone and gently pushed it back into place.

Furthermore, a stream of pure spiritual energy flowed from Qin Changye's fingertips into the broken part of her arm, miraculously binding the severed half of her arm back together.

This astonishing method left Hei Er speechless for a moment.

However, she quickly added resolutely, "No matter how good you are to me, I will never tell you who my master is."

Qin Changye shook his head slightly: "Is Zhou Tianci truly worthy of your sworn loyalty?"

Hei Er's expression changed drastically. Had he actually guessed it?

Or perhaps, he's trying to blow me up?

"What Zhou Tianci? I don't understand what you're talking about?"

Qin Changye ignored her denial, walked to the desk, and picked up the secret report he had been reading: "I don't know your name now, but if I'm not mistaken, you used to be called Su Wan, right?"

Hei Er stood there dumbfounded. The name "Su Wan" hadn't been mentioned for ten years.

Ten years ago, her entire family was murdered. She was rescued by the Sixth Prince, changed her name, and became the Sixth Prince's most secret weapon.

Apart from the Sixth Prince, no one else in the world knew that she was Su Wan, the granddaughter of General Su.

How could Qin Changye know?

Qin Changye ignored her shock and began to explain:

"The reason I didn't kill you just now, and even healed your wounds, is all because of your grandfather, General Su!"

Like my grandfather and my father, he fought for the Great Zhou Dynasty for many years. People only saw the glory they received when they were awarded medals, but they did not see the scars that were left on their bodies forever.

Your grandfather was a meritorious official of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He was not greedy for credit or power. He devoted most of his life to the cause and finally retired to his hometown when he was exhausted.

However, such a meritorious hero ultimately met a tragic end, with almost his entire family wiped out. What a tragedy!

Qin Changye's gaze slowly fell on Hei Er: "And you, as the only surviving member of the Su family, should not have died so mysteriously and silently."

Hei Er fell silent.

She remembered when she was little, her grandfather would hold her in his arms and look at the stars in the yard. He would point to the brightest star in the north and say that it was Zhenbei Star, guarding the northern border of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

At that time, my grandfather had retired from the military and returned to his hometown. His old injuries would still cause him pain on rainy days, keeping him awake all night.

But in front of her, Grandpa always had that kind, smiling face.

Everyone thought that Grandpa had fought on the battlefield for decades because he coveted supreme power, but Grandpa had told her more than once that he simply loved the beautiful landscape of the Great Zhou Dynasty and couldn't help but want to protect it...

Hei Er raised his head and looked at Qin Changye again, the wariness and hostility in his eyes had dissipated considerably.

After a few moments of hesitation, she couldn't help but speak up: "Young Master Qin, the Sixth Prince may have misunderstood you. You are not a bad person. Why don't you come back with me to see the Sixth Prince? If there's any misunderstanding, you can clear things up and make peace. With your abilities, if you can wholeheartedly assist the Sixth Prince, his chances of successfully seizing the throne will be much greater. When he inherits the throne, you can work together to protect the beautiful land of the Great Zhou. Wouldn't that be a win-win situation?"

Qin Changye shook his head without hesitation: "I don't like cooperating with despicable and shameless people."

Hei Er frowned again: "Prince Qin, you don't understand the Sixth Prince at all. He is not despicable and shameless. On the contrary, he is the most virtuous and noble man in the world. He can even be said to be a saint."

Qin Changye did not refute, but simply handed her the secret report on the table.

Hei Er took the secret report and flipped through it page by page.

Her face gradually darkened.

The secret report was filled with detailed records of the crimes that the Sixth Prince, Zhou Tianci, had committed in secret over the years.

Buying and selling official positions, embezzling military funds, assassinating political enemies, framing loyal officials...

Every single incident has a time, a place, and even witnesses and physical evidence.

"This information must be fake!" Her voice trembled. What she saw before her eyes overturned her worldview, and she simply couldn't believe it.

Qin Changye shook his head: "You should know that I am the Heavenly King of the Blood-Clad Guard. This intelligence was transmitted by the Blood-Clad Guard, so it cannot be false."

Hei Er clenched his fists, biting his lip, and after a long silence, finally said, "Even if—and I mean even if—this information is true, even if the Sixth Prince isn't good to others, he's good to me. He's my savior, and I can't do anything to betray him!"

"Your savior?" Qin Changye continued to shake his head. "Is it possible that the person you've sworn allegiance to for ten years is actually the enemy who killed your entire family?"
