Although Qin Luzhu was used to seeing the scenes of killing, after all, the people who were frozen here were all children, she really couldn't bear to continue watching, and if she moved forward, a labyrinth appeared.

Qin Luzhu easily solved the maze, no matter how difficult the puzzle was, it didn't matter to a person who already knew the answer, even Qin Luzhu herself felt strange, because she had seen this maze before.

The secrets hidden behind the labyrinth must be more precious than those babies outside.

Zhang Chi stopped suddenly, because he saw that there were blood stains under his feet, and the red blood condensed on the ground, judging from the color alone, it shouldn't have been long, Zhang Chi squatted down, stretched out his fingers and kneaded the bloodstains, and then leaned in front of his nose and sniffed it, the two sword eyebrows couldn't help but knot together, and said in a low voice: "This blood is fresh." ”

Qin Luzhu was also surprised, could it be that someone had already come here before they came in?

Bloodstains were dotted, like a road sign, showing them a way, and after walking more than twenty meters along the bloodstains, the bloodstains suddenly stopped, and a corpse lay on the ground, Zhang Chi walked over, turned the corpse over, and shocked him to see the scene, the deceased turned out to be Ji Chang, who was separated in the middle of the Sword Thorn Forest.

Qin Luzhu exclaimed, "Mr. Ji!"

Zhang Chi stretched out his hand to probe his snort, touched his pulse again, and shook his head, Ji Chang is dead, although Ji Chang is dead, his body is soft, and the bones around him are broken, but there is not a trace of blood on Ji Chang's body.

Although Ji Chang and Zhang Chi are not friends in the true sense, they came together after all, and seeing Ji Chang fall into such a miserable end, Zhang Chi was also indignant.

Qin Luzhu said, "Is Mr. Ji dead?"

Zhang Chi nodded and said in a low voice, "This bloodstain doesn't seem to be his." As soon as the words fell, a head emerged from not far away, but it was Cao Chengguang, the pale Cao Chengguang came out of the ground, with a pool of blood on his chest, seeing the two of them, Cao Chengguang sighed as if he had seen relatives, and said: "I thought I would never see you again......" He came out of the ground and came to them with vague steps.

Zhang Chi saw that Cao Chengguang's spiritual energy was greatly damaged, and stepped forward to support Cao Chengguang and said, "Old Cao, what's wrong?"

Cao Chengguang sat on the ground: "Who is that Zong Jiupeng?"

Zhang Chi and Qin Luzhu glanced at each other, and they had already guessed that this matter was related to the Netherworld Ancestor.

Qin Luzhu said, "Mr. Cao, what happened?"

Cao Chengguang said: "After the Sword Thorn Forest separated from you, we followed him all the way to the ruins of the Holy City, I thought that we would meet you when we came here, but on the way, we met the Netherworld, that Jiupeng is really powerful, he actually ...... It can actually absorb the spiritual energy of the Netherworld......" Speaking of this, Cao Chengguang closed his eyes, a look of panic appeared on his pale face, and the memories in his mind still terrified him.

Zhang Chi and Qin Luzhu were not in a hurry to urge him, and they could see that Cao Chengguang was too frightened to do anything. 、

After a while, Cao Chengguang said: "At that time, Lao Ji and I felt that he was too wrong, combined with all the previous things, we thought that he was the Netherworld Ancestor nine times out of ten. He stared at Zhang Chi.

Zhang Chi couldn't say at this time that he had already known that he had reached the current point, so he could only continue to hold on: "I also think he's wrong." ”

Qin Luzhu said: "When we found out that the three of you were gone, we felt that something was wrong with this matter. "At the critical moment, I naturally have to stand on Zhang Chi's side, although I know that Zhang Chi has something to hide in this matter, but Zhang Chi also has difficulties.

Cao Chengguang said: "Lao Ji and I wanted to get rid of him at that time, but that old guy was too cunning, our every move couldn't escape his eyes, he threatened us, if we dared to play tricks, he would kill us." ”

Zhang Chi sighed secretly, ghosts are afraid of wicked people, and even Cao Chengguang and Ji Chang, the two treacherous and cunning guys, can only obey in front of the Netherworld Ancestor.

Cao Chengguang said: "In this way, we were forced by him to come to the Holy City. ”

Zhang Chi thought of the cold wave shrouded outside the ruins of the Holy City, even if the Netherworld Ancestor could pass through, Cao Chengguang and Ji Chang were not so easy to pass, his eyes fell on Cao Chengguang, and he immediately understood how they entered the Holy City, it must have been Cao Chengguang who helped open a hole from the outside, and the three of them entered the ruins of the Holy City through the hole, which just happened to be able to perfectly avoid the cold wave, in fact, Zhang Chi also thought about this idea at the earliest, but it was only because he was separated from Cao Chengguang in the Sword Thorn Forest that he had to take the method of breaking through the cold wave.

Cao Chengguang's next words confirmed this: "Only then did we find out that everything was in the old guy's plan, and he asked me to dig a passage to avoid the cold wave that shrouded the ruins of the Holy City. And let Lao Ji teleport us here, he should have been here before, and he is very familiar with everything here. ”

Zhang Chi said: "How did Mr. Ji die?"

Cao Chengguang said: "I was hit by the mechanism, you should have seen the two bronze doors when you came in, Lao Ji was hit by the mechanism when he opened the copper door, but he was only injured at the time, the old thief saw that Lao Ji was injured, but instead of helping to treat him, he thought that he was useless, and he actually ...... It sucked away his spiritual energy...... He's actually a soul eater. ”

Zhang Chi frowned, the Nether Ancestor had indeed not done enough in this matter.

Cao Chengguang said: "I was worried that I would also fall into his poisonous hands, so I quickly escaped, but the geology here is different, I can't escape at all, I can only hide below, hoping that the old thief will leave me and come out, but I didn't expect you to come in too." ”

Zhang Chi patted him on the shoulder: "Where did you see him going?"

Cao Chengguang shook his head and said, "I only care about escaping, how can I care about this." ”

Qin Luzhu said: "The area of this underground palace is not large, he shouldn't be able to go far, let's look for it." ”

Cao Chengguang heard that they were still going to find the Netherworld Ancestor, so he immediately waved his hand and said: "I want to find you yourself, I won't go, I'm leaving, I advise you two to go with me, if you meet that old devil, he will definitely suck your spiritual energy clean like he did with Lao Ji." ”

Zhang Chi said: "Did he say what he was looking for here?"

Cao Chengguang smiled bitterly: "How could he tell me such an important thing? However, I can be sure that he must have been here in the past." ”

No matter how Zhang Chi chooses them, Cao Chengguang will not continue to go deeper with them, he decided to say goodbye, leave the underground palace first, and agree to wait for them outside.

After Cao Chengguang left, Qin Luzhu said, "Don't you think it's strange, if Ji Chang was killed by the Netherworld Ancestor, there is no reason to let him go." ”

Zhang Chi said: "Do you doubt Cao Chengguang?" In fact, he also felt that this matter was a little unusual.

Qin Luzhu said: "Anyway, with the strength of the Netherworld Ancestor, he shouldn't be able to escape." ”

She squatted down and re-examined Ji Chang's body, and found that there were a few strands of brown hair in the palm of Ji Chang's clenched left hand, Qin Luzhu said: "This fur seems to be the same as what Cao Chengguang is wearing." ”

Zhang Chi leaned up and took a look, his brows involuntarily tightened, Qin Luzhu was not wrong, Cao Chengguang was wearing a brown leather jacket just now, and this fur obviously came from the top of the leather jacket. In fact, Cao Chengguang's actions just now were very suspicious, but Zhang Chi did not consider that Lao Cao had something to do with Ji Chang's death, after all, Cao Chengguang lacked the motive to kill Ji Chang.

The facts are in front of him, Ji Chang has turned into a cold corpse.

Qin Luzhu said: "Cao Chengguang shouldn't be telling the truth. ”

Zhang Chi said: "Could it really be that he killed Ji Chang?"

Qin Luzhu said: "I don't rule out this possibility. ”

Zhang Chi's mood became heavier and heavier, if Ji Chang died in the hands of Cao Chengguang, it would prove that Cao Chengguang's purpose of entering the Holy City was not pure, that is to say, Cao Chengguang's previous performances were all pretended, initially Zhang Chi thought that Cao Chengguang was forced to enter the Netherworld Ruins like them, and now he needs to re-examine this matter.

With Cao Chengguang's temperament, he gave up inheriting Ji Chang's property in the Arctic City and lived a free life, which is a bit abnormal in itself, Cao Chengguang puts self-interest first in everything, and the country is easy to change and difficult to change, the most important disappearance in Cao Chengguang's heart is himself, and maybe there is another.

Zhang Chi thought of Cao Mingmin, could it be that Cao Chengguang's motive for entering the Netherworld Ruins was to rescue Cao Mingmin and bring Cao Mingmin back to life? There was a tacit understanding between him and Xie Zhongjun? From the beginning to the end, this trip to the Netherworld Ruins was a conspiracy.

Qin Luzhu saw that Zhang Chi didn't speak for a long time, and thought that he was sad because of Ji Chang's death, so he comforted him softly: "Life and death are fate, Mr. Ji has put life and death aside when he puts down his comfort and chooses to come here, so don't be too sad." ”

Zhang Chi said: "I suspect that this is your brother-in-law's bureau." ”

"Uncle?" Qin Luzhu was stunned, she really couldn't figure out what happened here and what her uncle had to do with it.

Zhang Chi whispered his suspicions to Qin Luzhu, and Qin Luzhu frowned slightly and said: "In this way, it is very likely that the uncle used Cao Mingmin's resurrection to blackmail Cao Chengguang, it seems that his real intention is to rescue Xiang Tianxing." Qin Luzhu looked at Zhang Chi and said word by word: "Netherworld Ancestor is walking towards the sky!"

Zhang Chi said: "Isn't Old Qin's nurturing grace still able to dissolve the hatred in his heart?"

Qin Luzhu said: "Maybe he decided that my grandfather killed both my parents." ”

An old voice sounded from the corner: "Does he have that ability?"

The two of them were startled at the same time, looking through the light of the spirit stone lamp, but saw a thin old man with gray hair sitting against the wall, Zhang Chi recognized him as the Netherworld Ancestor at the first time, but his spirit seemed to be depressed.

Qin Luzhu's hand landed on the hilt of the sword.

Nether Ancestor looked at Qin Luzhu indifferently and said, "What, you want to kill me?"

Qin Luzhu said: "Are you walking towards the sky?"

Netherworld Ancestor said: "What if it is? What if it is not?" His gaze turned to Zhang Chi and said: "I can't think of it, I can't imagine it, Cao Chengguang actually deceived you all." ”

Zhang Chi's face was hot, and he said in a low voice: "You are not the same. ”

Nether Ancestor actually laughed: "Yes, I was also deceived by him, do you know, he actually has a map of the Holy City Underground Palace." ”

Zhang Chi said: "The map must have been given to him by Xie Zhongjun." ”

Nether Ancestor sighed and said, "Let's go, while it's still too late, the Demon Suppression Bead has been stolen, and the Netherworld Ancestor is about to recover, if it's a little later, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave." ”

Qin Luzhu said, "You're not the Netherworld Ancestor?"

"Didn't you already guess my identity?"

Zhang Chi sighed secretly in his heart, he was tantamount to admitting that he was walking towards the sky.

Zhang Chi walked over and carried Xiang Tianxing: "Let's go, let's go together!"

Qin Luzhu was puzzled, she didn't understand why Zhang Chi would be so righteous to Xiang Tianxing, there were some contradictions in her heart, she had always regarded Xiang Tianxing as a vicious person. Although he thinks that this kind of person is not worthy of sympathy, he feels uneasy to his conscience if he is abandoned at this time, but Zhang Chi has already made a decision.

Zhang Chi picked up the Nether Ancestor on his back, and found that he was already weak and powerless, and he didn't even have the ability to stand, I don't know what happened during the time they were apart?

Qin Luzhu silently walked out with Zhang Chi, and after a few steps, there was a violent vibration on the ground.

Xiang Tianxing said: "It's too late. ”

Qin Luzhu said to Zhang Chi: "Go back?"

Zhang Chi nodded, going back means giving up.

Although Qin Luzhu was puzzled in her heart, she didn't ask much, she believed that Zhang Chi must have a good reason, and Qin Luzhu began to arrange the teleportation array.

Xiang Tianxing sighed and said, "Actually, wouldn't it be better for you to leave me to die here." ”

Zhang Chi said: "Wouldn't it be cheaper for you to let you die like this?"

Xiang Tianxing said: "The top priority is to stop Cao Chengguang, if he takes the Demon Suppression Bead out of the Netherworld, I am afraid that there will be a catastrophe in the world." ”

Qin Luzhu said: "Is there still less catastrophe in the world?What is going on with this Netherworld Ancestor?" She had already set up the teleportation array, and the three of them entered the teleportation array together, and in an instant, they had been transferred to the ruins outside.

Cao Chengguang naturally wouldn't wait honestly, there was no one on the ruins outside.

Although they left the underground palace, it does not mean that they can leave the holy city, the outside of the holy city is surrounded by a cold wave, before the two of them were forced to venture into the holy city out of desperation, in order to pass the cold wave Zhang Relax almost exhausted energy, Qin Luzhu also almost died, and now there is another one more to the sky, Qin Luzhu can't help but worry.

Zhang Chi actually took this into account and said to Tianxing: "Cao Chengguang dug a hole in the ground, I don't know if it's still there." ”

According to his guidance, they found the exit of the cave, but found that the cave had been resealed, Qin Luzhu said angrily: "It must be Cao Chengguang's doing." ”

Xiang Tianxing said: "This guy is really despicable, I was careless." He patted Zhang Chi's shoulder and said, "Good grandson, grandpa knows that you are filial, you can go!"

Qin Luzhu heard it clearly, this was like a bolt from the blue to her, she was stunned, Zhang Chi was actually Xiang Tianxing's grandson.

Zhang Chi said: "Where can you go? The Netherworld Ancestor is resurrected, and the destruction of the Netherworld Ruins is just around the corner. ”
