I have been bound in a forbidden place for five hundred years. Why are you crying when I am a casual

"Gu boy, you're a real freak! I've seen you wield this Jingzhe sword before, and I'm sure you weren't this skilled before. Even when you were using the Supreme Being's power, you didn't wield it with such a coordinated mind and spirit as you do now!"

"I know this is the result of your recent spear training. You've been using the pseudonym Sui Yu'an, abandoning your sword for a spear. It's not just you honing your spearmanship, your swordsmanship is also improving!"

"Monster, this is a monster!"

"..."

When Yuan Zihao was killed on the spot by Jingzhe's sword, even his soul was split in two.

Shattered Star exclaimed in surprise the first moment.

It was an old monster that had lived for who knows how many years. Logically, it should have remained calm even when faced with a huge collapse. However, in the face of Gu Xiu's Jingzhe sword, it could not help but be amazed by it.

There's no way not to be amazed.

Previously, Gu Xiu created the Tan Qian sword, which almost touched the power of time, which was already unbelievable. It was thought that Gu Xiu would use the Tan Qian sword again this time, but no one expected that Gu Xiu chose to use the Jing Zhe sword. This sword is now even better than before. Then, after honing the spear skills during this period of time, how powerful would the Tan Qian sword be?

"On the path of spiritual practice, the most important thing is to never disappoint people."

“As long as you work hard enough and keep moving forward, you will always be able to improve.”

Gu Xiu, on the other hand, was very calm and spoke softly. It was unclear whether he was speaking to Mo Chen or to himself. However, he quickly shook off these thoughts and looked at the half of Yuan Zihao's soul in his palm.

The other half of his soul had now completely dissipated. In fact, if Gu Xiu hadn't used the power of the Purple Mansion, this half of his soul would have also completely disappeared. However, although it was preserved, it was obviously not normal, as if it had fallen into madness:

"Let me go, let me go!"

"Sui Yu'an, Gu Xiu, I'm going to kill you, kill you, kill you!!!"

"You deserve to die! You deserve to die! What the hell is the Scarlet Cloud Divine Dynasty? If it weren't for our Heavenly Craftsmanship Holy Land, which still sees some use for the Scarlet Cloud Divine Dynasty, we would have completely eradicated it long ago."

"Damn it! Those damned things actually betrayed me and cut off the teleportation array. Damn it! Damn it!"

"..."

"There are many restrictions in this kid's soul. Now you have cut off half of it. Although it is preserved by the power of the purple palace of the soul, the power of the restrictions still exists, making it difficult to spy on and search his soul." Seeing him like this, Suixing reminded him.

Gu Xiu wasn't surprised: "I didn't plan to search your soul."

"No plans to search my soul?" Broken Star was surprised, but soon, it understood what Gu Xiu meant.

Because it saw that Gu Xiu was already holding half of Yuan Zihao's remaining soul and was taking Mo Chen towards the second floor of the attic. The first floor had been cut off by Gu Xiu, and the blood pool was completely destroyed, but the corridor on the second floor still had restrictions that made it impossible to control it.

but now.

Holding Yuan Zihao's residual soul, the restriction on the second floor immediately disappeared when it detected Yuan Zihao's spiritual power, revealing a gap.

"I thought you were going to ask him some secret." Suixing was a little surprised.

Gu Xiu shook his head. "Although he is a prodigy of the Tiangong Holy Land, he certainly doesn't know much. Besides, the Blood Shackles Tower is right here. If there really is a secret, perhaps we can find the answer here."

While talking.

Gu Xiu had already glanced towards the second floor.

only……

Unexpectedly, compared to the sticky and extremely smelly pool of blood on the second floor, the second floor of the Blood Shackles Building looked much more normal. It was just a very ordinary room with wooden tables and chairs, a wooden couch and a gauze curtain. There was even a cup of unfinished tea on the table.

It looks like an ordinary house where someone has lived.

There is no monstrous demonic energy, no bloody terror.

Everything looks very peaceful.

"Something's wrong." Broken Star was surprised.

"According to our speculation, since this Blood Shackles Tower is the Zhaoping Demon Realm, it must have gathered and forged the demonic energy of the entire Zhaoping Realm. Why is there no trace of demonic energy here? This is obviously unreasonable."

"and……"

"It seems like someone has been to this place before and lived here for a while. It even looks like they left not long ago."

Has anyone been here?

Left not long ago?

who is it?

Gu Xiu raised his eyebrows and searched the room for a while. Soon he found a set of four treasures of the study on a table in the corner of the room. There were spread out papers on the table, and a pile of discarded paper balls with something obviously written on them were thrown next to it.

Gu Xiu picked up one at random and saw a line of poetry on it:

"The smell of tea disappeared after gambling on books, and I thought it was normal at the time."

This……

What is it?

Gu Xiu was confused, so he picked up another one and flipped it open.

“Rain cannot fall from the sky, and water cannot be collected after it is poured out.”

Next, he flipped through several pieces of waste paper and found that each of them had a line of poetry written on it, but many of these lines were filled with regret.

It was as if someone had confessed his past sins here.

but……

Not all of them.

Because Gu Xiu also saw a few other pieces of waste paper with a few more sentences written on them:

"If you don't think about it, then what's the point?"

"From now on, mountains and rivers will never meet again, so let's not talk about each other's strengths and weaknesses."

"Human feelings are like thin sheets of paper, and world affairs are like a new chess game."

"..."

There were also quite a few similar verses, but like the previous verses of regret, these verses were all crumpled up and thrown aside.

"What kind of person lives here? Why does he seem so contradictory? Sometimes he's filled with hatred and determined to go down this path to the end, and sometimes he's filled with pain, regret, and pity." Looking at these verses, even Suixing was puzzled.

Gu Xiu also frowned, not understanding why.

"Teacher, what do you see here?" But at this moment, Mo Chen over there suddenly spoke. Gu Xiu turned around and saw him standing by the window, pointing outside and exclaiming.

Gu Xiu walked closer and looked outside, and was stunned.

This is the underground palace of the Chiyun Divine Dynasty, which has been completely contaminated and swallowed by the Zhaoping Remnant Realm. Logically speaking, after the Blood Shackles Tower was enlarged, all that should be seen outside the window is the thick fog that permeates the surroundings. However, unexpectedly, when standing in front of the window, Gu Xiu saw a quiet and peaceful village.

Even standing by the window, you can clearly hear the conversations of some pedestrians downstairs.

“Hey, this time we didn’t die outside, but I don’t know if it will become a disaster.”

"It seems the people who came from Zhongshan Mansion this time took Sui Yu'an away. I don't know how the child is doing now. I wonder if he has seen his parents outside Zhongshan Mansion."

"Oh, right, didn't they say before that Miss Ziyi from the Qin Mansion was out? How come she came back a few days ago? But if she went to Zhongshan Mansion, she couldn't have come back so soon. What's the logic behind this? Could it be that the previous rumors were false and the Miss Qin family didn't go to Zhongshan Mansion at all?"

"What a pity! I've waited most of my life to see what Zhongshan Mansion looks like. I heard it's very prosperous. Now that something unexpected has happened, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out again."

"..."

These conversations reached Gu Xiu's ears, making his eyes focus. Especially when his eyes swept over these people one by one, he felt even more surprised.

Zhaoping Village!

Outside the window is Zhaoping Village!

This Blood Shackles Tower is like an ordinary attic in Zhaoping Village. Passersby from the village pass by from time to time and occasionally talk downstairs.

Gu Xiu tried to lean forward.

However, he found that everything outside the window seemed to be real, but it also seemed like a mirage. As soon as his finger touched the window, the picture disappeared without a trace. When Gu Xiu withdrew his arm, the picture reappeared.

"Zhaoping Village and this Blood Shackles Tower are originally one and the same. Even though they are separated, and even the demonic energy within them is mixed with other things, they are still connected as one realm. Therefore, Zhaoping Village can still be seen from here, but if you want to enter it through here, you can't do it."

Broken Star analyzed the situation and finally couldn't help but sigh with regret:

"The people of Zhaoping Village don't know whether they are lucky or unlucky."

"Although life in Zhaoping Village is difficult, it is also safe and comfortable, and everyone can live to a ripe old age."

"Yet they are trapped here for eternity. Even the Zhongshan Mansion they longed for is nothing more than a scam."

Gu Xiu was silent, muttering, "I looked at Zhongshan and Penghai in the evening, but I didn't know how deep the snow was outside the city."

"Good poem! Good poem!" Suixing exclaimed in praise: "What a Peng Haiyuan, what a Jiang Xueshen! You are truly a master of both poetry and swordsmanship. Compared to you, your former senior sister Qin Moran is far inferior!"

Faced with this praise, Gu Xiu just shook his head and said, "Let's find the secret of this place. Have you found anything?"

"This place is abandoned." But I heard Suixing say.

"Abandoned?"

"Yes, if I'm not mistaken, the demonic nature here should be even more terrifying than that blood pool, but the demonic nature here has been completely absorbed by someone."

"The person who lived here before?"

"Most likely," Suixing replied. "Although I don't know how that person did it, she clearly has some special means to absorb the power of this place. It just so happens that this Blood Shackles Tower is a place where demonic energy converges. Now that so much has been absorbed, it won't be long before it completely spirals out of control, making it difficult for it to counterattack Scarlet Cloud Divine City..."

As he spoke, Broken Star suddenly thought of something and said in surprise:

"What a great opportunity!"

"Hurry, Gu kid, don't stay here, go upstairs, hurry up!"

Go upstairs?

Gu Xiu felt puzzled, but based on his trust in Suixing, he did not hesitate and immediately brought Mo Chen to the stairs leading to the third floor. He glanced at Yuan Zihao's half soul that was used as a key, and then he stepped up without hesitation.

This time.

The power of the restriction became even stronger, and even after lingering on Gu Xiu and Mo Chen for a long time, it seemed as if it could kill them at any time. However, when it sensed Yuan Zihao's half soul, the endless murderous intent finally receded and disappeared quickly like a tide.

Gu Xiu no longer hesitated and immediately took a step forward and reached the third floor.

only……

As soon as I stepped onto the third floor, a voice came:

"You came?"

These words left Gu Xiu and Mo Chen stunned.

Look sideways.

But there stood an unexpected person...
