Underground palace.

Copper candle lamps are embedded in the thick stone walls and burn quietly.The dim yellow light reflected the intricately intertwined secret script spells on the stone wall, and the ominous dark red light slowly flowed through it.

The pure white lamb knelt in the corner, and the bright red blood trickled from the wound in the throat, along the blood groove on the floor, and into the blood pool in the center of the underground palace.

Shadowy shadows wandered in the pool of blood, taboo spells that transcended life and death flickered at the bottom of the water, and the strong smell of blood filled the entire dark underground palace.

A black iron hand suddenly popped out of the water, gripping the cracked rocks on the edge of the pool.The sharp hard armor trembled with pain, leaving deep scratches on the rock plaque wall.

The slurry in the blood pool vibrated violently like boiling, and a low, muffled hum echoed at the bottom of the water.

After a long time, the iron hand slid into the pool water as if losing strength.The clear and shallow ripples slowly rippled on the blood-red water surface, and occasionally a few bubbles appeared.The blood pool returned to a dead silence.

From outside the locked wooden door of the underground palace, there was a cautious knocking sound.A man in armor—if he can be defined as a man—emerged from the water and walked up the steps by the pool to the shore.The soft tube originally connected to the back was torn off, and it retracted silently into the pool like a living snake.

click, click.

The sound of heavy footsteps echoed in the underground palace.

Every inch of His skin was covered with hard armor, and almost two-thirds of his flesh and blood limbs were replaced by steel parts.The sticky, cold liquid trickled down the gullies in the armor.The fleshy membrane stretches in the gaps of the nails, and small strands spew out turbid juice.

On the pale face where the eyes should have been, there was a piece of silver armor engraved with the imprint of an iris flower.

According to the sorcerer's plan, it should not be an animal that bleeds to death by the pool, but a pure virgin.But this plan was flatly rejected by the master, and even the warlock was severely warned.

All the imprisoned maidens were sent back to their hometowns, and one or two orphans chose to stay here to be trained as loyal handmaidens.

Now the locked wooden door was finally opened, and the maid waiting outside let out a sigh of relief, holding the tray in her hand steadily.

The half-human, half-metal puppet monster stood in the dark corridor and looked forward——

On a velvet tray, a diadem of solid gold gleamed in the light of dawn.

Demon Realm, Profound Shadow Palace.

This place was originally the junction of the territories of phantom demons and balrogs.More than ten years ago, You Guihu, the former Taiyi disciple of the Fallen Demon, broke out from the mountain of corpses and took over this place.Later, it quickly expanded outwards, gradually devouring the territory of the two demons of flame and magic.

Balrogs are violent and irritable by nature, but they have not occupied much territory.Although the resentment in his heart was hard to appease, he did not start a full-scale war with the Winged Demon after all.The Phantom Demon's attack power was not as strong as the Balrog's, and he was more cowardly and cautious, choosing to cede territory for peace.Over the past ten years, nearly half of the fields have been handed over to others.

Until now, where the Winged Demon Palace is located, there still remains the hallucinogenic miasma left behind when the Phantom Demon was in its heyday, which cannot be dispelled.

In the past few years, the newly-born Winged Demon fought against the ancient Four Demons of Phantom, Flame, Heart, and Blood with an unstoppable force, and became one of the five great demons in charge of the demon world.

Not long after, the Profound Shadow Palace was completed.The ingenious palace is entrenched on the cliff, like a fierce bird of prey perched on the top of the mountain, throwing a stern glance towards the ground.

A skinny black bird flew into the hall from the hole in the roof and landed on the armrest of the skeleton chair behind the screen on the high platform.A man with long black hair propped his head on his left hand, his eyes closed as if he was sleeping peacefully.The black bird hoarsely chirped twice, turned into black air again, and merged into the man's whole body.

The man's crow-colored eyelashes trembled slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes.The corner of his mouth drew an arc, and he brushed away the long hair hanging around his neck, and a face of shocking beauty was reflected in the smooth water mirror beside the seat.

He carefully looked at his face in the mirror, and confirmed with satisfaction that his beauty was still the same as that person's favorite look.

There was a slight noise in front of the hall, the man sat up and said in a low voice, "What's the matter?"

The demon general kneeling in front of the hall lowered his head: "My lord, that disciple Taiyi was imprisoned in the black water prison for three days."

There was a dead silence behind the screen.

He tried to figure out the mood of the posterity of the screen, and asked for instructions anxiously:

"Do you need to bring this person to the Profound Shadow Hall for you to interrogate yourself?"

There was a hint of indifference in the voice of the black-robed man: "No, I'm going to the Black Water Prison right now."

He silently looked at the water mirror.

In the eyes that should be as deep as obsidian, two sharp lines of blood run through the pupils, looking grotesque and ferocious.A pair of huge black bone wings spread out on the back, covered with sharp scales and dense thorns.

Where the heart used to be, there is only an empty hole left.

This is what he looks like now.

A daunting, sinful, dark, filthy, terrifying monster.

The man waved his hand, and the water mirror suddenly shattered.

He fluttered his wings and soared into the air, and flew out from the hole at the top of Xuanying Hall, and the bone lamp in the hall was suddenly extinguished under the strong wind.The demon general kneeling on the ground quickly spread his wings to follow.

The Blackwater Prison is located in a cave under the cliff.There are no candles inside, only green light shining on the stone walls on both sides.The black water of the lake is calm and waveless, like a bright mirror, clearly reflecting the haggard figure of the prisoner.

A young man in his 20s hung his hands in the air with iron chains, his lower body was soaked in black cold water, and his blood-stained Taoist robe could no longer see its original color.Through the loose collar, the gray corpse-like chest is covered with hideous explosion burn marks.

There is a bright cinnabar on the chest, as if it has condensed the last remaining blood in the heart.

The man repelled the demon general and entered the cave barrier alone.He retracted his wings and stood on the lake as if he had no weight.

The bound young man tried his best to raise his head, squinted his eyes and looked at the person coming, his blue lips trembling slightly:

"You came."

The man in black said calmly: "Yes, my nephew. I'm here."

The young man seemed to be stimulated, his whole body trembled, his voice was as weak as the fallen leaves of dead branches in the autumn wind:

"You are not...you are not my uncle...you are a Taiyi traitor..."

He didn't know where the strength came from, and he struggled hard, even with the chains on his arms rattling, screaming at the man in front of him:

"Mysterious Shadow Palace is over! Mysterious Shadow Palace is over!"

The man looked at the young man silently, as if he had exhausted his last bit of strength, and fell into the water dejectedly.The water level in the Blackwater Prison fluctuated, and soon returned to its previous bright appearance.

"kill me."

There was a trace of choking in the young man's breathless voice: "Kill me."

The cinnabar on his chest slowly dimmed and gradually collapsed.

The demon generals stationed outside the cave couldn't hear the voice inside, and could only see the young man who was said to be the second disciple of Taiyi struggling to his death. The lord whispered something in his ear, and the loose clothes blocked the sight of everyone outside the cave.

The faint green light on the stone wall lit up, and the reflections of the two were reflected on the glowing water, like another world.

Not long after, the man in black came out.

Behind him, the young man hangs his head, with a sharp black feather sticking out of his chest, the blood trickling out from the heart, smudged in the pool.The mirror-clear water surface gradually became turbid, and black shadows entangled at the bottom of the water.

The man walked out of the prison, and casually ordered the demon general standing aside: "Throw his body into the mass grave."

The magic general stood still and did not answer.

The cave suddenly lit up, and the demon general was burnt to charcoal, turning into a handful of scorched bones and falling down.

In the scorched and smelly bones flying around, the flames in the body that are still gnawing at the corpses are revealed.

The man paused slightly, with a hint of cold sullenness: "Lord Flame Demon."

A devilish face appeared in the firelight:

"I didn't expect Master You to be so heartless as to kill his fellow martial nephew with his own hands."

You Guihu, the former third disciple of Taiyi, said indifferently:

"I have already betrayed the sect of the Immortal Master. Lord Flame Demon doesn't need to doubt my loyalty at this time."

There was a hoarse laughter in the flames: "How dare I doubt the Lord of Xuanying Hall. It's just that Master You specially ordered this spy to be imprisoned in the Black Water Prison, so that others would mistakenly think that Master You's old love is not over."

The flame suddenly grew taller: "It's very annoying to throw this corpse here, why don't I help Lord You finish it completely!"

A poisonous fire dragon broke through the barrier and wrapped around the corpse in the cave.

The young man's body remained motionless, completely reduced to ashes in the flames.

The black water surface was like an abyss, and even the light of the flame was swallowed up, and there was no trace of reflected fire.

Outside the cave, You Guihu looked calm and said in disgust, "Is Lord Balrog satisfied now?"

The face in the flames was quite unexpected.

Is it really an immobile corpse?

He and You Guihu have always had enmity because of territorial disputes.A few days ago, after he heard that You Guihu had imprisoned his titular nephew in the Black Water Prison, he had been sending people to watch every move of Xuanying Hall, trying to find evidence of Yimo's disobedience.

How could this be the result?The people inside were not in suspended animation.Did You Guihu actually kill his nephew with his own hands?

You Guizhen sneered: "My loyalty, as early as the moment I fell into the devil, I was peeped by the demon in person, and I never thought twice. The reappearance of the demon seed from the sky is imminent. Lord Yanmo didn't concentrate on finding the reincarnation of the fire in the underworld, and assisted Heavenly Demon revived. He is still obsessed with what has been proven before. It’s really chilling.”

The Balrog trembled.Unwillingly shouted: "It's impossible! You can fool the devil, but you can't fool me! What did this Taiyi disciple tell you before he died!"

You Guihu had already walked to the door of the prison, and when he heard the words, he turned around and said coldly:

"Ten days later, the Immortal Alliance will send people through the Blood River to sneak into the Demon Realm to rescue this person. Lord Flame Demon is so leisurely, why not set up an ambush yourself. It's just that it is the territory of the Blood Demon. Notify the Blood Demon in advance."

Flame laughed mockingly.

Gorefiend, what a disgusting thing that is.He is a majestic Balrog who went to encircle and suppress the secret agents of the Xianmeng, why did he need to inform others!

The last bit of the demon general's corpse was burned up.The flames of the Balrog screamed loudly, exploded into sparks, and disappeared.

All the auras of Balrog spies lurking in the dark dissipated.

You Guihu looked at the lake in the cave with deep eyes.

The dark shadow at the bottom of the water dissipated, and the water surface returned to its previous clear and mirror-like appearance.

Yingying green light ripples gently on the water.

----------------

Thousands of miles away, Zhongnan Taiyi Palace, the forbidden area of ​​the ancestral hall.

A huge map of mountains and rivers hangs on the wall, with a few scattered light spots shining.

On the tribute platform in front of the map, there is a spirit weapon the size of Hu Feng.On both sides of the broad bean-sized Lingzhu, the patterns of eyes are drawn with special paint on the two gray translucent wings.

On the opposite side of the wall, there are enshrined the soul lamps of all the disciples since Taiyi founded the sect for thousands of years.

But just now, inside a glazed lamp ball engraved with the word "Bai Ling", the faint soul fire flickered and went out.

Lu Bai waited quietly in the darkness, his long gray hair was scattered behind his head, his right hand was gently stroking the ring on the thumb of his left hand, his expression was dim and difficult to discern.

The inside of the glazed lamp ball was dark, only the embers of cold ashes remained, and it seemed that there was no possibility of re-ignition.

But Lu Bai didn't move, just staring at the ball cover.

Suddenly, there seemed to be a flash of light.

Slowly, a faint flame ignited again in the lampshade.

Like the scattered stars in the sky, they are also as indestructible as the distant stars!

Lu Bai smiled silently, turned around and walked out.

----------------

At the foot of Taiyi Palace Mountain, in front of Wu Palace.

Lu Ran stood at the closed door, looking at the intricate patterns on the spirit lock.

He died for more than [-] years, and after borrowing a new shell and being reborn, his memory was not very good. After looking at it for a long time, he remembered that this kind of lock was designed by him before his death.In addition to preventing outsiders from breaking in, it can also keep the hall clean and prevent dust from accumulating after the owner of the house leaves.

Worried about not being able to find the key back then, Lu Ran specially set up a backup magic circle behind the lock.He thought about it and decided to pick the lock directly.

The spiritual power circulated along the carvings on the back of the lock, and the carvings on the back of the lock bloomed like real flowers.Immediately afterwards, the entire spirit lock shattered and dissipated into light spots.The barrier that sealed the entire house also disappeared.

creak.

Lu Ran gently pushed open the door of the dormitory where his third senior brother You Guihu lived 20 years ago, his face was faintly hot.

The author has something to say:

Here, let’s get to the point, Bai Ling’s heart is cinnabar (covered on the pot)

Afterwards, other relevant people in Quanxianmen were also like, true-dropping blood cinnabar

Rigorous, truth-seeking, honest and honest engineering students will never lie (crazy dog ​​head saves life)
