The back room was empty except for an altar that was three feet high and more than ten feet long. Lying on the altar was a man in ragged clothes and covered in blood, with his hair disheveled and covering his face. His eyes were as wide as copper bells, and his lips parted as if he wanted to say something.

What, but he was twitching in pain like a madman and couldn't say anything. After a long time, the breath gradually became weaker and weaker. On the bloody face, the pale and helpless eyes stared blankly towards the top of the grotto, as if his

The enemy was standing there laughing at him. However, his eyes gradually dispersed in despair. He suddenly twitched violently for a while and then became stiff and motionless.

Chu Tao stepped back a few steps and stood, frowning slightly, as if he was sad or hesitant.

The short swordsman, Chu Tao had quite a good relationship with him. The first major thing Chu Tao did after seizing the position of leader of the Nan'an League was to deal with the three notoriously arrogant killer brothers in Nan'an, and let the short swordsman escape from his body.

He got away from the unjust lawsuit that had been entangled for many years. Therefore, the short swordsman was always grateful to him and was willing to listen to the orders of this young man. Today, Chu Tao suffered an even greater disaster... This face was distorted by pain.

, he can never forget it again.

Qin Shi was also stunned, standing there at a loss.

Only Jun He stepped forward, leaned over to feel his breath, parted his hair, and identified: "He's dead, with wounds everywhere. Just like Jin Yi Ke. It seems that we accidentally bumped into that guy's lair.

"

The three of them were silent. Qin Shi held the handle of the knife tightly, his anger burning but he had nowhere to vent. Jun He whispered: "It is not suitable to stay here for a long time."

Chu Tao laughed softly: "Do you think we can still leave now?"

Their eyes met, and they understood clearly. The white shadow that suddenly flashed past in the corner was the culprit that brought them here.

Sharp and old laughter echoed in the stone house. In an instant, an evil wind blew up, sand and rocks flew, and all the torches around them suddenly went out. In panic, they were plunged into boundless darkness.

Qin Shi was stiff and unable to move for a moment, as if he was in the dark night at Wangjiang Terrace. The sound came from nowhere, as if Jiang Shaoyun's shadow was surrounding him from all directions. A stone wall slowly sank in front of them, appearing.

A dark passage emerged.

A low and long voice echoed in the passage: "Young Master Chu, aren't you looking for me?" Immediately, an incredible white shadow floated towards the depths of the passage. Chu Tao rushed towards the passage without thinking too much.

However, as soon as he and Qin Shi stepped into the passage, the stone door slammed down with a loud bang, and hidden weapons flew past them. An arrogant voice floated wildly: "Where can you run to?" That voice had legs.

As if following them, there were indescribable sounds of collisions and explosions of metal and stones all around, as if the sky was falling and the earth was falling.

This time, Qin Shi dragged Chu Tao to hide and avoid him. A smell of earthy dust mixed with a strong smell of sulfur entered his nose, making it difficult to breathe. Large and small stones kept rolling down from the top of his head, covering his body.

It was covered with dust and dust, and my vision was even more blurry. I couldn't see the road clearly. There seemed to be a fork in the road again, so I couldn't care much about it. I just focused on my feet.

After running for a long time, his eyes suddenly opened up, but it was just a big stone room. The way out was like a maze, with more than ten forked roads converging here. The laughter disappeared at some point, and Qin Shi stopped and breathed heavily.

.Chu Tao turned around and saw that the passage had long been blocked by stones and was airtight.

"Jiang Shaoyun is too cruel!" Qin Shi complained.

"Perhaps something even more cruel is yet to come..."

Chu Tao already knew in his heart: Jiang Shaoyun probably led them here on purpose, but he was just impulsive and fell into the trap. What a terrible enemy this must be! It seems that he already understood that Chu Tao likes to get to the bottom of things and will never give up until he achieves his goal.

Temper, so he planned it from the beginning, setting up mysteries everywhere, waiting for him to take the bait! Jiang Shaoyun seemed to have done nothing, but he had already set up a trap and was waiting for him here!

But……

Qin Shi secretly sighed: "Fortunately we ran fast, otherwise we would have been buried alive." Chu Tao asked with a cold face: "Where is Jun He?"

"Maybe he got separated. I didn't see him when the rocks fell. Or..."

"No! This ruffian is far faster than me. We have all escaped. What is he dawdling about?" Chu Tao said firmly, with a faint hint of anger in his words.

"But besides being inside, where else could he be? Otherwise... he was caught by Jiang Shaoyun?" Qin Shi looked at Chu Tao's angrily look inexplicably, and didn't understand how he could be replaced without Xie Junhe.

He looked like the sky was falling and the earth was falling, and he was in panic.

"Is this ruffian crazy?!" Chu Tao was furious and turned back, intending to open up the collapsed cave entrance, but the gravel fell further, stirring up smoke and dust, and there was no gap. Qin Shi advised: "

Master Chu, calm down, maybe Xie Daxia is on another side road..." He turned a deaf ear and roared with all his strength at the ruins, but what came back was only a hollow echo. "That bastard! A vicious cow!" He said.

He stabbed the rubble with a sword and roared almost in despair, but still had no intention of leaving. Qin Shi really didn't understand what he was so angry about, so he had to remind him: "Maybe... things are not that bad... it will be too late if you don't leave."

Already."

No matter how much words were wasted, the voice of advice seemed to have fallen into a bottomless abyss and received no response.

Chu Tao stood there blankly, saying nothing, as if he had turned into a stone pillar.

"Should we wait for him here?" Qin Shi couldn't persuade him, so he had to change his tone.

"No," Chu Tao's deep voice suddenly sounded in the dead silence, "We are waiting for Jiang Shaoyun."

Qin Shikong opened his mouth, stunned.

"Young Master Qin, hold on to your knife, he is by our side." Chu Tao said extremely seriously, and the murderous aura rising from the corners of his eyes made Qin Shi feel as if he had returned to the night of Hongshuang Town - no, it was far worse than this.

Terrifying. At this moment, Chu Tao's face only had an awe-inspiring coldness, which seemed to be able to freeze all external forces firmly.

Qin Shi couldn't help but shudder, not knowing whether it was because of Jiang Shaoyun or Chu Tao.

"Young Master Qin, if you can't avoid it, he has already planned it."

Qin Shi didn't want to hide, but he couldn't help but took a few steps back - who was plotting against whom? He couldn't understand.

The leisurely laughter reappeared, gradually approaching from the depths of darkness. The sound of subtle footsteps, accompanied by the sound of bamboo sticks tapping the ground, came from the darkness, with a slow and leisurely rhythm. "Young hero, do you admit defeat?" After a while,

The old man in white clothes and fair hair steadily walked out from that direction. His right sleeve was empty and he held a bamboo stick in his left hand. His brows were elegant and clear, his eyes were vicissitudes of life and sharpness were intertwined, and indifference and pride coexisted at the corners of his mouth. It seemed like a smile but not a smile.

, as if the thousands of years of violent storms in the world are just like a flower blooming and falling in his eyes.

Chu Tao cupped his fists and saluted: "I'm so lucky to meet you, senior!"
