Chapter 210: Trial
The man looked at the old man in front of him blankly, slowly lowered his head, his eyes were dull as if frozen, and his voice was low as if muttering:
"Impossible...... I obviously cast an illusion, and she is acting according to my will, it is impossible for her to come to her senses halfway, let alone pass on the information in such a short period of time......"
Xuan Lao looked at him and sighed faintly:
"Spirited ghost...... You're smart enough, and you're stupid enough. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ info know that in this world, the highest disguise is not skill and technique, let alone words and actions......"
"It's the emotions that have accumulated little by little over a long period of time. β
The man looked at him quietly, his eyes twitched slightly, and he did not speak.
Xuan Lao looked at him meaningfully:
"You can be regarded as a veteran of playing with people's hearts, how does it feel to be betrayed and used by others this time?"
The man looked at him, tilted his head slightly, and smiled coldly:
ββ¦β¦ I'll admit it, the little girl you sent is really good, even I almost believed that she was really just a food delivery ......"
Traces of red light, like silk dyed in the morning sun, quietly swirled in the forehead, beautiful like flowers waiting to bloom.
He looked at the white-haired old man, the red light at his forehead fluctuated, and a layer of hazy red light gradually floated under his cold eyes, like the morning glow:
"But so what? Spy or food deliverer...... Thanks to this little hairy girl, after three hundred years, my Flame Ghost has finally broken away from the Spiral Tower and seen the light of day again!"
He narrowed his eyes, and his voice was cold:
"Even if that little girl is lucky enough to wake up from the illusion and sneak up to you to make a small report, so that you can prepare in advance to intercept me here...... You think it's all right?"
"Even if I am in the Spiral Tower for another three hundred years, if I want to fight alone......" He raised his chin slightly, and the corners of his lips hooked up a hint of arrogance, "Hua Lingxuan, you may not be my opponent." β
Xuan Lao stood with his hands in his hands, standing quietly on the silver-white ice sea not far away, his plain white clothes were swept up by the cold wind, and he was gently swept away.
"Good. β
The old man nodded, slowly raised his eyes, and smiled faintly:
"I'm still worried that even if the jackals, tigers and leopards have been locked up for so long, it is difficult to guarantee whether they will still have their minions...... Seeing that you are so energetic and combative, it is not in vain that I have spent all this effort. β
The man looked at him with a look of relief, and the corners of his lips once again hooked up a touch of mockery:
"Hua Lingxuan, are you pumping your brains? Regardless of whether I have the spirit to fight now, I don't plan to help you deal with any demon clan or moon god, no matter how much nonsense you say, it's useless. β
"This spiral tower, Lao Tzu has stayed for three hundred years, enough stay! For the sake of the twelve holy angels, those stupid things you did three hundred years ago, these three hundred years have been imprisoned endlessly...... I'm not going to bother with you for now. β
He squinted, and the red halo under his eyes was like a flame, revealing a bit of danger:
"But if you are stubborn, you will hinder me...... Then let's settle the ledger today. β
The cold wind is rustling, and the clothes are rolled.
Xuan Lao looked at him quietly and did not speak.
Half a day.
A faint sigh sounded low, revealing a little helplessness in the old man:
"Spirit, you're still as confident as you were three hundred years ago. You are the first to escape from the Spiral Tower's Frozen Prison, and you are the first to be so arrogant and unashamed to be a fugitive. β
Xuan Lao looked at him, his eyebrows raised slightly, and his ice blue eyes were thoughtful:
"Didn't you think about why you were able to escape so easily and smoothly in the spiral tower, which has been impregnable for thousands of years, and no prisoner has ever escaped? Why did I know that you had escaped from the spiral tower, but instead of immediately ordering the guards to arrest you, I waited here alone?
Lie Ghost stared at him, his eyes flickered slightly, and his brows gradually frowned:
ββ¦β¦ What do you mean?"
Xuan Lao sighed slowly, as if the cat who was teasing the mouse but gradually lost his patience returned to his expressionless appearance again:
"As I said, every word you've said before, every action you've taken, everything that happened in the ice prison, even the route you took to escape...... I know it all. β
Lie Ghost looked at him, pursed his lips, and did not speak.
"Of course, thanks to the kid who delivered the meal. Over the years, you have cared about her and chatted with her, but you have only tried to deceive her trust and find out from her the terrain of the spiral tower, the location of the guards, and other information...... But I didn't expect that while you were using her, she was also spying on you. β
Xuan Lao smiled faintly and nodded slightly:
"That kid was good and loyal. Thanks to her, you were able to escape so smoothly. β
Lie Ghost was slightly stunned, his eyes trembled slightly, and his eyes faintly revealed a little doubt and surprise:
"'Let me' escape...... what do you mean......? The information that the girl inadvertently revealed to me during the conversation, combined with the illusion manipulation, the theft of the guard's key to release the shackles, and the ability for me to escape from the spiral tower, are all ......!"
Xuan Lao looked at him and nodded, his voice soft but extremely clear:
"Naturally, it's all my arrangement. β
Lie Chongying stared at him without blinking, his eyes trembled fiercely, his eyes showed disbelief in surprise, and his cold voice trembled faintly, word by word:
"So...... From beginning to end, you're playing tricks on me?!"
Xuan Lao shook his head slowly:
"You can't say that. If it weren't for my arrangement and clearing the obstacles all the way for you, do you think that with your ability to deceive innocent girls, you can escape from the spiral tower that is heavily guarded and moated?"
"I did throw the bait, but Spirit, you bit the bait yourself, no one else's blame. β
The ragged clothes were sprinkled with ice stains, falling on the sea of silver-white ice, like raindrops, quietly rippling a little ripple, and gradually turning into snow water and blending into it.
The tall middle-aged man stood barefoot on the silver-white sea of ice, and behind him a pair of snow-white slender wings condensed with ice and snow, squirming and sprinkling ice chips.
A short silence, but as long as a century.
"Why?" After a long time, the deep male voice sounded, vaguely hoarse.
Xuan Lao looked at him, lowered his eyelids slightly, and said in a faint voice:
"It's a test. β
Lie's ghost slowly raised his eyes and stared at him, his eyes flickering slightly: "...... Test?"
Xuan Lao stood with his hands in his hands, his face expressionless:
"What I need is a loyal warrior, a brave man who dares to shed his blood, a fellow angel who is truly willing to contribute to Ellens, slaughter the demon clan and defend their homeland!"
He looked at the ragged man, and his deep voice was oozing coldness:
ββ¦β¦ is not a coward who hides in Tibet and only thinks about his own safety and enjoyment. β
Hunting in the cold wind, plain white clothes rolled in the wind.
The old man slowly raised his face and looked at the gray-blue sky above him, and his voice was as low as the drifting snow:
"If you can resist the slightest chance of escape that I have deliberately revealed to you, and follow your original promise to overcome obstacles for Ellen IsβI will certainly do what I say, and after eradicating the moon god and pacifying the demon clan, I will welcome you into the Elder's Pavilion for the rest of your life, and end this endless life as a prisoner......"
Slowly moving his gaze to the man who was standing quietly on the silver and white ice sea, the old man sighed faintly, and his deep voice revealed a little regret, a little solemn:
"It's a pity...... Ghosting. It's a test and a gamble. β
"And you, defeated. β
