Seeing this scene, Chu Yuntian and Lin Ruo'er couldn't help but clenched their weapons, ready to take action at any time.
At this moment, in the eerie and strange hall, spiritual energy surged and power collided.
The tension between Ye Wushuang and Gongsun Hongyu has become clear, and a fight may happen at any time!
But Gongsun Hongyu is not only an illusion warrior, but there are also nearly a hundred warriors from the four empires standing behind him. Although these people have not entered the martial arts, they are all heavenly realm warriors, but once they unite, they cannot be underestimated.
Under normal circumstances, these people wouldn't have anything to fear; as long as Ye Wushuang showed enough power, he could frighten them and make them afraid of killing them.
But now, these people have been controlled by Gongsun Hongyu. There is almost no way to retreat, and they have long been fearless about life and death.
Once the two sides fight, they will fight to the death.
At that time, it would obviously be extremely disadvantageous for Ye Wushuang and the three people who were alone and weak.
After all, two fists are no match for four!
However, in this situation where the swords were tense and the smell of gunpowder was almost overwhelming, Gongsun Hongyu did not take action. Instead, he suddenly grinned and said three "good" words in a row: "Okay, okay!"
"Ye Wushuang, it seems that my previous humility not only did not make you restrained at all, but also fueled your arrogance!"
Before he finished speaking, the murderous aura around him became more intense. On his gloomy face, his eyes were slightly narrowed with a sharp gaze, and he said in a deep voice: "Well, since you are so confident and don't know the heights of the world, then the previous alliance will be over.
Disbanded.”
"Next, you and I will seize the opportunity based on our own abilities!"
Hearing this, Chu Yuntian and Lin Ruo'er couldn't help but look at each other, with confusion and a hint of surprise in their eyes.
But soon, the two people reacted instantly and couldn't help but curse.
"Shameless!"
"mean!"
In the past, the three parties, in addition to Ye Wushuang and the others, Sikong Yan's party also had hundreds of people, almost far more than Gongsun Hongyu. At that time, once a war started between the three parties, the three parties would go into separate camps and naturally lose their numerical advantage.
But now, with the death of Sikong Yan and other six great warriors from the Great Kingdom, the number of the remaining two parties in the palace, Gongsun Hongyu's party, is almost thirty times as many;
When hunting for treasure in the palace, Ye Wushuang and the others were obviously at a disadvantage.
Gongsun Hongyu canceled the alliance at this moment. He obviously wanted to get rid of the three of them directly. His evil intentions were evident!
"Can!"
Ye Wushuang nodded without hesitation and said with a smile: "Then let's just rely on our own abilities!"
"snort!"
Hearing this, Gongsun Hongyu sneered, waved his hand behind him, and walked towards the depths of the hall.
Although the entire hall is wide, it is also empty. You can see the end at almost a glance; so they have long discovered that there is nothing in the hall; whether it is the so-called core stone or the treasures in the Demon Suppression Tower, there are eight out of ten.
Jiu was hidden behind the main hall.
There was no dragon sculpture holding a bead in its mouth, and it looked so dark that it was almost impossible to see even the fingers of one's hand.
But Sikong Hongyu seemed to know the structure of the hall well and knew exactly where he was going. Therefore, without even lighting the torch, he led nearly a hundred people through the hall, bypassed the high platform, and walked directly behind the screen.
"Master, just let them go like this?"
Chu Yuntian put away his sword at this moment, looked at the crowd gradually disappearing into the darkness, turned to Ye Wushuang and asked.
"What if?"
Ye Wushuang smiled faintly and said: "The purpose of our coming here is for the core stone; and although Gongsun Hongyu has other intentions, at least he will not snatch the core stone from us at the moment."
"This also shows that we have no actual conflict with him, and naturally it is not time to quarrel; otherwise, no matter who wins or loses, it will not be beneficial to both of us."
"After all, this Netherworld Palace is very weird. There must be something terrifying hidden in the dark. Before we can find it out, we will kill each other and it will only benefit from it!"
Speaking of this, Ye Wushuang paused and continued: "I think this is one of the reasons why Gongsun Hongyu didn't take action just now."
As soon as these words came out, Chu Yuntian and Lin Ruo'er nodded, obviously understanding what Ye Wushuang meant.
The injuries on Sikong Yan and others are not caused by killing arrays or traps at all, but more like some ferocious birds and beasts. Therefore, there must be other powerful beings in the Nether Palace, but they have escaped into the darkness at this moment.
, hiding, waiting for an opportunity to move.
Therefore, in the next process of searching for the core stone, they must be extremely cautious to avoid making the same mistake again!
"By the way, sir..."
Lin Ruoer suddenly spoke at this moment and whispered: "I just made a rough calculation and it seems that there are not enough corpses in the hall."
"Ruo'er is still meticulous, but it's really not enough."
Ye Wushuang nodded and said with a smile: "There should be four or five people missing."
Chu Yuntian was stunned when he heard this, and quickly turned his head to look at the corpses scattered everywhere. He quickly frowned and said in surprise: "It's true!"
"Sir, is it something hiding in the darkness that likes to devour warriors alive?"
"If it really likes to eat people, do you think you can still see these corpses?"
Ye Wushuang smiled silently and explained: "I took a look and found that the few people should be warriors from the Rensui Empire, and among them is Gongmen Jin."
"And Gongmen Jin majored in secret ways and was good at assassinations. This kind of warrior has extremely strong means of seeking good luck, avoiding disaster, and escaping. Therefore, nine times out of ten, Gongmen Jin did not die, but appeared in danger.
In an instant, I chose to escape for the first time!"
"So, maybe Gongmen Jin is still alive?"
Upon hearing these words, Chu Yuntian's face suddenly froze, he hurriedly clenched his sword again, and looked around cautiously.
"Don't be nervous, he should not be here anymore, otherwise he would have shown up and killed himself."
Ye Wushuang reached out and patted Chu Yuntian's shoulder, and said with a smile: "After all, Gongsun Hongyu almost tricked all of them to death. This retribution is not small!"
When Chu Yuntian heard this, he nodded immediately.
There were obviously other cooperation or transactions between Gongmen Jin and Sikong Yan; but now, they were tricked by Gongsun Hongyu, resulting in the annihilation of the entire army. With Gongmen Jin's character of Rentu, he would never let it go.
Especially when Ye Wushuang and Gongsun Hongyu were at war with each other just now, once Gongmen Jin takes the opportunity to attack, he will definitely directly involve the three of Ye Wushuang and bring them to a united front to deal with Gongsun Hongyu together.
But after such a long time, Gongmen Jin has never shown up. He is obviously either dead or has left!
"Son."
Lin Ruoer spoke again at this moment and asked: "There is one thing I can't understand. When we formed the alliance before, Gongsun Hongyu kept saying that he needed help from everyone when he reached the top floor, but why didn't he let these people help?
, just kill them?"
"Is it possible that what he said before about needing help was just an excuse?"
"Of course it's not an excuse."
Ye Wushuang shook his head decisively and said: "Gongsun Hongyu obviously knows the Demon Suppression Tower very well and also knows what is in the seventh floor; in this case, he can use a more convincing excuse and
Why say anything about needing help?"
"You know, he is an illusion warrior; what he can't do, how can people like Sikong Yan help?"
Lin Ruoer frowned and said even more doubtfully: "But if it's not an excuse, then if he killed Sikong Yan and others now, wouldn't he cut off his arms?"
"Perhaps his so-called help is to take the lives of Sikong Yan and others?"
As soon as these words came out, Lin Ruoer suddenly paused.
When she thought about the death conditions of Sikong Yan and others, they were all punctured in the abdomen, the star gate was broken, and the Danying disappeared, a terrible thought couldn't help but come to her mind!
"Sacrifice, it's a sacrifice!"
Chu Yuntian suddenly thought of a possibility at this moment, and immediately lost his voice: "Gongsun Hongyu's so-called help is to sacrifice the lives of Sikong Yan and others; only in this way can he explain why he suddenly changed his attitude.
Just sit back and watch Sikong Yan and others do nothing!"
Gongsun Hongyu had only said before that he would need help from many people after reaching the seventh floor; but he did not mention what exactly he would do.
And with Gongsun Hongyu's strength, under normal circumstances, if he can't solve the problem, no matter how many low-level warriors there are, it won't help.
Unless, the solution to that matter has nothing to do with the realm of cultivation, but requires the life of the warrior, or the Essence and Blood Deficiency Pill!
In this way, everything will be explained.
But, what exactly happened and why did it require the lives of hundreds of martial arts warriors to be sacrificed at once?
"What the truth is, we can't decide yet."
Ye Wushuang said calmly: "But one thing is certain. Gongsun Hongyu's sudden change of attitude and the tragic death of Sikong Yan and others are definitely not as simple as it seems."
"Although the alliance is only a temporary measure, there is obviously no need to separate before conflicts of interest arise; even if he reminds Sikong Yan and others to avoid tragedy, he can actually win over a wave of goodwill."
"With Gongsun Hongyu's mind, he should be able to understand this kind of thing clearly, and he would not do anything that would harm others and not benefit himself. Unless the death of Sikong Yan and others will be of greater help to him!"
Speaking of this, Ye Wushuang paused and immediately ended the topic: "Of course, all this is our speculation. What exactly happened, we still need to wait for the truth to surface."
"But it should be soon!"
After saying this, Ye Wushuang waved to the two of them, then walked through the corpses and walked straight to the back of the palace.
However, when he walked to the screen, Ye Wushuang suddenly stopped and turned to look at the black stone platform aside, frowning slightly, and a trace of doubt appeared on his face.
"Sir, what's wrong?"
Seeing this scene, Chu Yuntian and Lin Ruoer, who followed closely behind, asked in confusion.
"It's okay, I just sensed a familiar scent."
Ye Wushuang explained casually, then withdrew his gaze and stepped into the darkness.
The stone platform was bare and empty; even with his eyes that had awakened the Sword Emperor's memory, he didn't notice anything strange.
But the moment he got closer, he noticed a trace of familiar energy fluctuations, which disappeared in a flash. When he examined it carefully, it was back to normal, which made him feel suspicious in his heart.
Seeing this scene and hearing these words, Chu Yuntian and Lin Ruoer looked at each other, only slightly confused, and then stepped to follow.
The group of three people immediately walked through the hall and disappeared into the darkness!
Buzz...
And almost at the moment when the three people disappeared, the originally plain black stone platform suddenly lit up with a faint blue halo.
Immediately afterwards, layers of ripples suddenly appeared on the smooth and flat tabletop, as if it had turned into water.
puff...
Suddenly, a huge and ferocious head poked out from the table.
This head is like a dragon without horns, like a snake with scales, like a crocodile but short, and full of fangs, which is really vicious; a pair of big copper bell-like eyes, with almost no white at all, are pitch black, but while turning, it seems that
There were faint blue flames dancing, which looked eerie and terrifying.
It did not completely emerge from the stone platform. It just poked out the top of its mouth and glanced at the corpses everywhere in the hall. It opened its bloody mouth and shot out a red message, instantly rolling up several corpses and pulling them directly into its mouth.
, and chewed it on the spot.
The scene is horrifying and poignant!
Ta da...
At this moment, crisp footsteps suddenly sounded, and a black figure wearing a hooded gown slowly walked into the hall.
"Crunch..."
The monster's head, which was chewing the carcass, suddenly froze, and its big black copper bell eyes turned. It looked at the visitor for a moment, but after just a glance, it looked away again and continued to chew.
It was as if the black shadow that appeared at this moment had long been a familiar sight.
"Hundreds of human virtual pills haven't filled you up yet?"
The black shadow passed through the main hall, passed through the corpses, stopped in front of the stone platform, raised its head slightly, and spoke softly.
The faint blue light in the hall shone down and fell on his black hoodie, revealing a pale face that was so white that there seemed to be no trace of blood, like a dead person.
And on this pale face, there are no noses and ears; on a small round mouth like a chrysanthemum, four small round eyes are divided into two rows, occupying most of the face, exuding this enchanting gaze.
Staring closely at the ferocious head protruding from the stone platform.
It is none other than the mother of Corpse Gu who previously transformed into a human form, the tower guard, You Zu!
"Crack, bang, bang..."
The ferocious head did not reply, and was still chewing the corpse in its mouth; thick red blood was continuously flowing out from the corner of its mouth that was cracked to the base of the ear.
"Have you not tasted such fresh and spiritual flesh and blood for a long time?"
Seeing this scene, You Kui was not angry. He opened and closed his chrysanthemum mouth slightly, making a slurred sound, and said slowly: "Do you know? It's been ten million years. We have been here for ten million years."
.”
"Time flies so fast, tens of millions of years have passed in the blink of an eye; in these tens of millions of years, we have eaten all the evil demons, all creatures, and all living things in the entire Demon Suppression Tower; I have long been tired of this place.
I have long been tired of living a boring life and living in a daze all day long."
"And now, our chance has come! Our chance to leave here and regain our freedom has come!"
