In the dark and damp secret room, long-bright lamps burned slowly on both sides.
The first thing that entered Gu Chen's eyes was a vast and spectacular magic circle.
The complexity of the formation diagram and the complexity of the Dao patterns were like stars in the sky. It was dizzying at a glance. It was the only one Gu Chen had ever seen in his life!
His expression changed slightly, and he did not dare to move forward rashly for fear of falling into another terrible killing array.
Looking straight ahead, opposite the mysterious magic circle, a white-haired old man sat on a chair, his chest and skirt were full of blood, and his whole body was sluggish.
He has a pair of strange eyes, one blue and one black, one side is like a crystal clear sapphire, and the other side is like a candle that may be extinguished at any time in the wind, dim and dull.
As soon as Gu Chen entered the door, his eyes suddenly turned and fell on him.
"Don't worry, kid, this magic circle is not aimed at you."
Old Monster Duan spoke hoarsely.
"What is this for?"
Gu Chen looked around and asked curiously.
The underground magic circle looked more complicated than the one he saw last time in the secret room of the God-making Pavilion. Gu Chen didn't understand the magic circle, but he also intuitively felt that this magic circle was priceless.
"It is my life's work."
Old Monster Duan smiled miserably, "I originally thought that the city defense formation was impregnable, but I didn't expect that you used a large number of spiritual talismans to break it. I also thought that the True Demon Condensation Formation would definitely be able to eliminate you all. Who would have thought that due to some strange combination of circumstances, we actually encountered such a beast?
Terrible monster."
"You are so lucky, otherwise I would not be the one who loses today!"
Hearing these unwilling words, Gu Chen did not refute.
He was indeed lucky today. Just imagine if the white ape had not followed this time, he might not be alive now.
"Activating the True Demon Condensing Formation consumes me too much energy. Once it is broken, I will be seriously injured and will no longer have the energy to fight you."
"It's so pitiful! We are at the end of our rope. I originally wanted to destroy the magic circle here, but I couldn't let you succeed no matter what. But in the end, I couldn't bear it."
Old Monster Duan muttered to himself, his voice trembling.
Most of his eyes fell on the magic circle in front of him, showing enthusiasm and nostalgia.
Gu Chen couldn't imagine what kind of attraction this magic circle had that made the old man think about it even before his death.
He didn't feel that the other party was pretending to be down and out, so that he could be careless and underestimate the enemy, and then take the opportunity to sneak attack on him.
His emotions were really hot, and for some reason, Gu Chen didn't feel like a demon at the moment, but rather like a loyal believer in a certain field.
"Boy Chen Gu, I have a favor to ask of you!"
Old Monster Duan looked at the magic circle in front of him for a long time and suddenly said.
Gu Chen had a half-smile on his face, "Old Monster Duan, you are the winner and the loser, you should know that you have no right to make demands."
Old Monster Duan shook his head, "My request is very simple. I just ask you not to destroy the magic circle here."
"I spent decades on this magic circle. I carved every trace of it myself and spent endless efforts on it."
"You don't know the art of formation, and you don't understand how dangerous it is. Every time a trace of the pattern is engraved incorrectly, I may be mentally traumatized. In order to build this formation, I walked through the gates of hell hundreds of times.
.”
"However, even though I have spent my whole life pursuing its mysteries, there are still too many mysteries about it that have not been solved. If you can promise not to destroy this magic circle, you will have the opportunity to hand it over to the right person in the future.
If you study it, I will kill myself in front of you."
"If you don't want to, even if I am seriously injured, there will be a way to make you pay a heavy price in the end!"
He threatened, but it sounded more like a plea.
Gu Chen was touched.
What kind of persistence made this old man propose such an unfair deal.
Even if I agree to this request, I can still regret it later, and there is no binding force at all.
The only disadvantage is Old Monster Duan, and the price he has to pay is his life.
"I need to know what exactly this magic circle is about before I can consider whether to agree to your request."
Gu Chen thought for a moment and answered seriously.
"Everyone knows that your Blood Refining Sect has always been cruel and likes to perform blood sacrifices. You are pretending to be pitiful now, but everyone in the White Whale Mansion knows that in order to practice an evil spell, you set up a blood-refining formation.
The people of the city were refined alive."
"How do I know that the magic circle here is not that kind of evil magic circle? If I agree to you and find someone to study it in the future, wouldn't I be harming innocent people again?"
When Gu Chenyi spoke righteously, Old Monster Duan smiled instead, with a look of relief in his eyes.
"You are questioning me like this, which shows that you are really considering accepting my request. In fact, you can make me commit suicide by just perfunctory. What a good deal? But you didn't, so I feel relieved."
"You are a sincere person who sticks to your word. If I make a deal with someone like you, I will die without regrets!"
Gu Chen couldn't help but frown, "You can still laugh? When you are about to die, don't you feel any guilt for the things you have done that hurt Tianhe?"
Gu Chen turned over his hand and took out the Bloody Seven Demons Umbrella and threw it on the ground.
"You also refined this evil magic weapon. It's hard to imagine how many innocent people you have killed. When you die and go to hell, won't you be afraid of those innocent souls asking for your life?"
Old Monster Duan glanced at the Bloody Seven Demons Umbrella, "In my life, I have been worthy of being worshiped by heaven and earth. I regard mortals as ants. As long as I can achieve my goal, what if I kill all the people?"
"To tell you the truth, I practice evil spells and refine evil magic weapons. The ultimate goal is to understand the mystery of this magic circle."
Gu Chen was angry when he heard this. What Old Monster Duan did reminded him of the Hades Palace. Even if there were people like them who could do whatever they wanted for their own gain, a hundred thousand people in Feng Lin Palace would lose their lives innocently!
Killing all the people for a magic circle, what kind of paranoia is this?
"Well, you are still young and may still be upright, so you don't understand my ambition at all. There is no point in us arguing on this."
"You are a young man of flesh and blood. You can make a man splash five steps with blood in a rage. But I have long been indifferent to life and death. Even if Tang Man and others were killed by you, I would still be indifferent."
"Let's talk about this magic circle. I will tell you everything about it, and then you can decide whether to agree to my request."
Old Monster Duan stood up from his chair with great effort and walked towards the magic circle tremblingly.
"This formation comes from a unique copy of the formation called "Heaven and Earth" that I obtained in my early years."
"At first, I never understood the purpose of this formation. It is neither an offensive formation nor a defensive formation. It is very different from the mainstream formation types. Everything about it is a mystery."
"It wasn't until I accidentally came into contact with a Taoist cultivator from the Middle-earth Empire that an idea flashed in my mind. This magic circle can be used to refine the human body!"
