Looking at the passage that suddenly appeared in front of him, Xing Jue smiled faintly.
He knew that this was his only choice at this moment. So after sighing for a while, Xing Jue took a smooth step and walked towards the depths of the passage.
This passage is extremely rugged, as if it is deliberately testing Xing Jue's patience. As long as Xing Jue speeds up his steps, the speed of the white gas rolling around the passage will slow down, making it difficult to walk forward, so Xing Jue
Just take your time and walk leisurely and contentedly.
But just after turning the next corner, Xing Jue was shocked to find that a large hall appeared in front of him. This hall was much more spacious than the one he had just been in.
Except for an air pillar in the middle, there is nothing else in the main hall. On top of the air pillar is a huge white crystal ball. However, due to the Xingjue induction, the crystal ball does not appear.
Nothing special.
"It seems that the owner of this ruins likes to play tricks on people."
Looking at the empty gas hall in front of him and the crystal ball on the gas pillar in the middle of the hall, Xing Jue shook his head helplessly.
He felt that ever since they entered this ancient ruins, they had been being played by the owner of the ruins. Whether it was the previous three barrier gates or the current illusion, it seemed that the owner of the ruins had some agenda.
"Brother Xingjue..."
"Brother Xingjue, what's wrong with you? Did Xiaohan do anything wrong?"
But at this moment, Li Xiaohan's voice suddenly sounded from the main hall, and when the voice sounded, Xing Jue's body felt as if he had been shocked by electricity, and he was instantly paralyzed.
Then he took vigorous steps and ran towards the air pillar in the middle, because Xing Jue knew that the place where the sound had been made was the crystal ball on top of the air pillar.
And when Xing Jue came to the crystal ball, he was shocked to find that a set of pictures was actually reflected in the crystal ball, and the location of the pictures was exactly in the hall they entered earlier.
At this moment, everyone in the hall fell to the ground, holding their heads with their hands, their faces full of pain, and they were all shouting the names of the people they cared about the most. Obviously, they had all fallen victim to the abominable illusion technique.
"Xiaohan, Lin'er, Uncle Pan, grandma..."
"You have fallen under the spell of illusion. Don't believe everything in front of you. Concentrate your mind and don't believe it."
"Can you hear me?"
"Damn it..."
Seeing Li Xiaohan, Su Lin'er, Uncle Pan, Grandma Xiaohan and others in the crystal ball who were tortured by thoughts. Xing Jue's heart was also suffering pain like a knife, and the most helpless thing was that at this moment
He actually couldn't help anyone.
"Kid, do you want to save them?"
But just when Xing Jue felt helpless, a faint voice suddenly sounded from behind Xing Jue.
Turning around and looking around, Xing Jue was even more shocked to find that there was a man standing behind him at this moment.
I saw this man who looked about forty years old, with a head of black hair tied around his head, a long black beard that was extremely neat, and the snow-white robe on his body paired with the light green gown looked so elegant and refined.
Under the thick black eyebrows, there is a pair of medium-sized triangular eyes. In the slightly narrowed eyes, there is an extremely peaceful aura. At this moment, the man is wearing a faint smile.
Stroking his long beard and watching the execution.
"Junior Xing Jue, pay homage to senior." Seeing this, Xing Jue hurriedly knelt down and paid homage respectfully.
Although this man did not exude any aura, just like an ordinary person, Xing Jue knew that this man was no ordinary person. He was probably the owner of the ruins, or the real guardian of the ruins. Thinking of this
How dare you be the slightest bit negligent in your execution.
"I'm asking you, do you want to rescue them?"
However, the man did not waver at Xing Jue's visit and asked calmly again.
"I think so, please let me know, senior." Seeing this, Xing Jue stopped talking nonsense and responded readily.
"Very good. It's not difficult to save them. All you have to do is make a choice..."
"Then I'll trade your life for theirs, are you willing?" Seeing Xing Jue's agreement, the man smiled lightly.
"Seriously, what the senior said is true?" After hearing what the man said, Xing Jue was not surprised at all, because he knew that if he was willing to let everyone go, he would have an extremely difficult choice to make.
"If I want to kill you, I can easily kill you with just a little thought. Why should I lie to you?"
"But if you don't save them, I can let you leave here alive and take away all the treasures in the hall."
"Are you still willing to save them?"
Upon seeing this, the man smiled faintly. There was a confident aura in that smile, as if he had already mastered the life and death of Xing Jue and the others.
"This junior is willing to trade his own death for their lives." After hearing the man's words, Xing Jue said resolutely without any hesitation.
"Okay, if that's the case, then I'll make it happen for you."
Seeing this, the man smiled slightly, and then slowly opened his palms. Rows of dark black charms condensed out of his palms, and were arranged in rows like a long snake, slowly moving in his palms.
Wandering.
Looking at the strange talisman in the man's palm, Xing Jue felt a sense of respect in his heart. These talismans were very strange, as if each one was alive.
Although it is not as powerful as some martial arts, Xing Jue knows that this spell is many times more powerful than the martial arts he has learned before, because it cannot be called a martial skill.
"go"
Suddenly, the man shouted softly, and the talisman in his palm turned into a black line and shot towards Xingjue.
However, facing the black line shooting straight at him, Xing Jue did not dodge at all, but stood straight on the spot, waiting for the black line to take away his life.
In fact, Xing Jue didn't want to die, but he didn't want to see Li Xiaohan and his friends die, and in front of such a strong man, he knew that he had no room for bargaining, so this was his only choice at this moment.
"Pfft"
At this moment, the black line came with a bang, piercing into Xing Jue's chest like a sharp bayonet. It was so fast that even blood splashed after it shot into Xing Jue's body.
Just had time to splash.
"Ah~~~~~~~~"
When the talisman was injected into Xing Jue's body, a heartbreaking pain began to come from his chest, causing Xing Jue to cover his chest and roll over and over.
Large amounts of sweat seeped out of his body in an instant, pouring down like rain, and even his lips turned white. The appearance was extremely miserable, and the pain involved was self-evident. Gradually, even his consciousness became
It started to become blurry, and finally everything went dark and I fell into a deep sleep.
"Hmm~"
I don't know how long it took, but when Xing Jue opened his eyes again, he discovered that he was not dead, but was still in the hall.
When Xing Jue raised his head, he was even more shocked to find that the man before was standing in the previous place, staring at him. What surprised Xing Jue most was that at this moment, the man's body actually changed.
Became a transparent body.
"Senior, you..."
Seeing this, Xing Jue stood up quickly, with a look of surprise on his face. He already understood at this moment that the previous choice of life and death seemed to be just a joke played by this senior on him. Or it could be said to be a test.
, in short, he didn’t really want his own life.
"Haha, no need to ask any more questions."
"I have been waiting here for thousands of years and finally found a suitable successor."
"But it's a bit funny to think about it. In the end, the inheritor I liked was actually a member of the Soul Eater tribe." Seeing Xing Jue wake up, the man said with a smile.
"Senior, are you the owner of this place? What do you want me to inherit?" After hearing what the man said, Xing Jue was even more shocked and asked quickly.
"I don't have much time. Don't ask any questions. Just listen to what I have to say." Seeing this, the man waved his hand, signaling Xing Jie not to ask any more questions.
After hearing his words, Xing Jue also discovered that the man's body was becoming more and more illusory at this moment, just like the soul power of the first generation Pavilion Master. Then he stopped talking, but
Listening quietly to this man's story.
"Since you are a member of the Soul-Eating Clan, you must know about the Soul-Eating Tomb. When you enter the Soul-Eating Tomb in the future, you must get the Soul-Eating Blade in the tomb. Then you can naturally obtain my inheritance.
"
"Soul-Eating Tomb, Soul-Eating Blade? Inheritance?" Listening to the words in the man's mouth, Xing Jue seemed extremely unfamiliar, but Xing Jue also knew that as long as he got the Soul-Eating Blade, he could get it.
Some power related to this senior.
"Let me ask you a question, are the Soul Eaters still there?" At this moment, the man suddenly looked at Xing Jue with a meaningful look.
"Back to senior, the Soul Eaters are no longer here." After hearing what the man said, Xing Jue was shocked at first, and then hurriedly replied.
It is said that this ancient ruins are thousands of years old, and this man actually knows about the genocide of the Soul Eater Group, which makes Xing Jue not surprised.
"Hey, it's a sin to cut off the grass and leave the roots." After hearing Xing Jue's words, the man sighed slightly sadly.
"Kid, let me remind you that your enemies from the Soul-Eating Clan are probably still in the Tianwu Continent."
"So I advise you not to reveal your identity as a Soul Eater before you reach the level of a War Saint."
"Also, don't tell anyone about your meeting with me." At this moment, the man turned his attention to Xing Jue and said cautiously.
"Senior, don't worry, this junior will definitely listen to your senior's teachings." Seeing this, Xing Jue said swornly.
"Well, it's a blessing for the Soul-Eating Clan to have a junior like you. I hope I can see a kid like you again." After seeing Xing Jue's reaction, the man also smiled with satisfaction, and then his body
It disappeared along with his laughter.
"Senior, are you from the Soul Eater tribe?"
"Also, how should I save my friend?"
"Senior, senior, senior?" Looking at the man who disappeared in an instant, Xing Jue hurriedly asked.
At this moment, what Xing Jue wants to know most is how to leave here and how to save Li Xiaohan and the others. He is also very curious about the true identity of this senior.
Listening to his words, it seems that he just wants to find an heir, but his inheritance is related to the Soul-Eating Blade of the Soul-Eating Clan, but if he is a Soul-Eating Tribe, why doesn't he just look for an heir among the Soul-Eating Tribes? Why?
Put the ruins here?
Xing Jue had too many questions at the moment, but unfortunately, in the empty hall, the man's voice never sounded again.
