This old castle always gives people a gloomy feeling for some reason. Even though the dust and cobwebs accumulated over the years have long been cleared away, it is still difficult to sweep away the hazy atmosphere.
During the day, there isn't much sunlight coming in to the castle, and at night it becomes even more dark and heart-breaking.
Fortunately, the people in the castle didn't have much thought about the lighting problem at this moment. They lit torches and were busy non-stop.
In the center of the castle hall, there is a mahogany rocking chair, and a middle-aged man is sitting on it, counting the gold ingots in front of him with great interest.
There were only a few dozen gold ingots in total. He counted them twice but was still very excited. He had to rub each gold ingot several times, his face full of greed and joy.
"Golden ingots, shining golden ingots, there is nothing more beautiful than you in the world!"
The man said to himself happily.
"No..." He suddenly shook his head again, "The spiritual power crystal is more beautiful than the gold ingot, that kind of crystal clear, that kind of breath full of spiritual power, tsk tsk, just thinking about it makes me drunk!"
As he spoke, he eagerly took out a spiritual power crystal, put it in the palm of his hand and played with it carefully.
The enthusiasm made one wonder if he had some mental illness such as fetishism! At this time, a man in black came over and saw the man playing with the spiritual crystal, and waited aside without saying a word.
, a few minutes later, when he saw the man's eyes glancing over, he whispered: "Mr. Bishop, all the rooms have been checked, and you haven't found any?"
"did not find!"
The man's eyes narrowed slightly, "It's impossible, keep looking!"
The man in black hesitated for a second, and then said anxiously: "Sir, we have searched three times..." With a "bang", before he could finish his words, the man had been playing with the precious stone in his hand.
Like the spiritual power crystal of a first love, it flew over and hit her forehead hard! The man in black was smashed on the head, and the blood immediately rolled down and covered his face, becoming like a ferocious hungry ghost.
But he didn't dare to say a word, and his whole body was shaking all the time.
"Don't tell me three times, even if you say it four times, five times, ten times, a hundred times, you have to find it for me! The clues that I spent several years to find are absolutely correct! A few months before Chen Hailong's death, he
This old castle was bought by a student, but no one has ever lived in it. There must be something wrong! His last research must be hidden here!"
the man yelled.
The man in black did not dare to say anything more, or even wipe the blood on his face. He bowed deeply and retreated.
Soon the sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets was heard again in the castle. A group of men in black were searching every corner of the castle, wanting to remove all the bricks to see if there was anything hidden inside! The man was silent for a long time with a gloomy face.
, finally stood up, walked to the spiritual power crystal that hurt someone, picked it up with some distress, and whispered: "My baby, does it hurt?"
In the dead of night, Li Xuan and Chen Meina arrived at a place about a few hundred meters away from the castle. They did not continue to get closer because the hidden sentry they had seen before was not far away, and they would be discovered if they got closer.
Li Xuan smiled slightly, and an imperceptible spiritual power surged, and soon the space behind him tore open, and an object like a thick fog came out.
Demon species, this guy can finally be summoned from the turbulence of time and space.
The appearance of the demon species is just a mist, and it looks like it melts into the night, but only Li Xuan knows what kind of power this guy will have once it breaks out.
As expected, Chen Meina was also deceived by the demon seed. She looked at it blankly, not understanding what Li Xuan was doing by summoning a cloud of fog.
But I saw Li Xuan silently communicating with the demon for a while, and then the guy disappeared into the darkness with a "whoosh" and disappeared.
"Li Xuan, he..." Chen Meina was a little worried.
Li Xuan smiled and said: "Don't worry, he will definitely complete the task!"
Around the dark castle, the people in black braced themselves and looked around. Even though there were few people here, they still refused to let go of any disturbance.
Suddenly, a gust of wind passed by his ears, and a man in black turned his head to look strangely, but found nothing.
"Weird..." the man in black muttered in a low voice, "This place becomes gloomy at night, almost like a cemetery!"
There was no discovery, which made the man in black relax his vigilance, but he didn't know that at this moment, the demon species that had entered the stealth state was swaggering past him without making any sound! Silently.
, the demon species has sneaked into the castle.
No one noticed the infiltration of the demon species, not even the man who had been sitting in the middle of the castle hall, holding the spiritual crystal against his face and mumbling incessantly.
The demon is like a curious ghost, wandering around the castle.
Several men in black felt something was wrong. They looked around strangely, but found nothing. In the end, they could only attribute this feeling to the cold wind seeping in from the windows of the castle.
When the demon wandered to a room on the top floor of the castle, he happened to see two men in black lying on the ground, sticking their buttocks out and inspecting the floor tiles one by one. They were still complaining, so they curiously said,
"It passed.
"Mr. Bishop, is he confused? We have searched this old castle three times, and there is nothing except dust and cobwebs! I really don't know what he is looking for!"
A man in black said distressedly, "I have almost memorized these floor tiles, there is nothing underneath them!"
Another man in black booed, looked around and said, "Keep your voice down, don't let anyone hear you!"
Little did he know that the demon was standing behind him.
The man in black snorted coldly and said: "No one will hear it, they are all busy!"
"I'm afraid that the Bishop will come!"
The latter one smiled bitterly and said, "If he hears it, it will be in trouble!"
"That gentleman is busy counting his gold ingots and spiritual power crystals, so he doesn't have time to see us!"
The man in black in front said unhappily, "Bishop Greedy, he really lives up to his name. He can enjoy himself all night even if he holds a gold ingot!"
"Okay, okay, stop complaining.
We cannot leave unless the Bishop speaks.
Keep searching, maybe you can actually find the research left by Chen Hailong!"
The two men in black chattered a few more words and then continued their work.
The demon listened for a while and felt it was enough, so he followed the original path and quietly left the castle.
The moment the demon slipped out of the door of the castle, the man who had been admiring the spiritual power crystal in the hall in a daze suddenly twitched his nose and looked outside in confusion.
"Strange, I seem to smell something!"
His eyes gradually shone with a strange light, "Is there anything valuable nearby?"
The devil returned to where Li Xuan and Chen Meina were hiding and relayed to Li Xuan everything he had just seen and heard.
"Bishop Greedy! It turns out they are from the Seven Evils Sect, but how did they find this place?"
Li Xuan was really convinced. What kind of fate did he have with the Seven Evils Cult in his previous life? How come he could meet these guys wherever he went?
"How did the Seven Evils find this place? Even I didn't know that grandpa's information was hidden in such a hidden place. They are too powerful!"
Chen Meina looked incredulous.
"Things in the world are difficult and easy. No matter how difficult it is, you can do it as long as you put your mind to it! If you don't even have this awareness, how dare you call yourself greedy!"
Just when Chen Meina's soliloquy had just ended, a voice sounded.
"who is it!"
Chen Meina was surprised.
Li Xuan noticed someone approaching a second earlier than Chen Meina. He didn't even have time to issue a warning, but the other party actually showed up, and he was slightly surprised.
It was the weird man in the castle who came, and he was also the fifth bishop of the Seven Evils Sect, Hermons! Bishop Greedy was ranked fifth among the seven bishops of the Seven Evils Sect, and his strength ranked behind Hu Bei and
Before Bai Chen.
As a monk who transformed into gods, Hemons naturally seemed very confident in front of the two young men.
He looked at the two of them with bright eyes, and said with a greedy look on his face: "I smell the smell of treasure on you, and it is very strong. It really makes me intoxicated! Hand it over quickly, if it is really rare.
If you see the treasure, I will spare your life!"
Li Xuan smiled and said: "You want my treasure?
If you have the ability, you can get it yourself!"
"Young man, you are really interesting.
If you let me do it, you will die miserably! I only know how to cherish treasures, but I never know how to cherish human life!"
The Greedy Bishop said coldly.
"I do cherish human life, especially the Bishop of the Seven Evils Sect. Your head is very precious to me!"
Li Xuan shot back.
The Greedy Bishop's face became gloomy: "Very good... I will collect the treasures from you first, and then slowly interrogate you to see why you are here! Hehe, the taste of the treasures is so wonderful, could it be that I am here today?
Lucky day?"
Before he finished speaking, "Buzz!"
With a sound, a terrifying power bloomed from Hemons! "Devil, protect Mina!"
Li Xuan shouted in a low voice.
The demon species immediately ducked in front of Chen Meina and stared at Hemons warily.
Chen Meina's progress in the past two years has also been very obvious. With Li Xuan's help, she has already entered the ranks of foundation-building monks, and is only one step away from the golden elixir.
Although this is already a good talent among his peers, it is still a little too weak compared to the powerful enemy in the realm of gods in front of him! With the demon species protecting Chen Meina, Li Xuan had no worries, so he opened his hands
, as if an invisible force immediately surrounded his palm.
