Si You looked at Lu Xingyue's sharp eyes silently, and suddenly smiled after a while. He withdrew his fingers, slowly straightened up, and calmly spoke:

"Your stepfather is indeed in this netherworld, and he has also entered my 'Imperial City'...... Just as you detected with the Star Swirl disk. ”

Si You said, glancing at the compass that Lu Xingyue was holding tightly in his hand. "I don't know how you got your stepfather's Star Swirl disk, but unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work anymore. ”

"The Star Swirl Disk is an artifact that tracks breath, and it can track more than just 'items'. And the first thing I was looking for with this thing was my stepfather. Lu Xingyue said coldly. "It stands to reason that once the Star Swirl Disk is in operation, it can't break down halfway, you ...... Isn't there some trick behind your back?!"

"Hehe, if it was me, your Star Swirl Disk would have been powdered long ago. Si You chuckled, seemingly disdainful. "Have you ever thought that the reason why this thing is out of order is that your stepfather didn't want to be found by you and deliberately cast a spell to interfere with it?"

"Impossible!" Lu Xingyue's eyes widened, and she was a little emotional. "My stepfather, there's no way he's hiding from me!!"

"Oh? really...... Then why did he suddenly leave you behind and disappear without leaving a word?" Si You sneered.

"You ......!" Lu Xingyue's body trembled slightly. "My father-in-law, he wouldn't do this to me! He said he was going to go to the Netherworld to make a deal, but he never returned...... He must ...... Something must have happened......"

Lu Xingyue's voice grew softer and softer, and he lowered his gaze, looking at the Star Swirl Disk in his hand, his eyes surging with loneliness.

"Years ago...... For your realm, it must be considered 'a few years ago', your stepfather did come to my 'Nine Springs Walled City' and asked for something from me. Si You looked at Lu Xingyue, who suddenly raised her head, and said slowly.

"One thing?" Lu Xingyue frowned slightly. "What is he leaving?"

"Hehe, nature is something that doesn't exist in the earthly realm. Si You looked at Lu Xingyue's puzzled eyes and smiled calmly. "It doesn't hurt to tell you now, what he was going to leave was a black iron sword that could bind human souls. ”

"The ...... that binds the soul Black Iron Long Sword?" Lu Xingyue was stunned. "He—what does he want that thing for?"

"Who knows...... In exchange, though, he promised to join forces with me and help me achieve my plans. Si You chuckled and stared at Lu Xingyue, as if observing the other party's reaction.

"Your ...... 'plan'?" Lu Xingyue couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart when he thought of those puppet undead in the 'Nine Springs Spring'. "That'...... And then, why didn't he go back to the realm?"

"Hehe, you should also know what kind of spell level your stepfather is, I don't have the ability to restrain your stepfather, and I can't control whether he returns to the realm or not. Si You smiled. "Maybe he did go back to the realm, but he ...... Didn't I come to you?"

"......!" Lu Xingyue clenched his teeth and glared at Si You.

"I know that you have been looking for him for the past few years, even stealing the 'Dragon Bone Key', and risking your life to come to the Netherworld to find out his whereabouts, but the fact is that your stepfather has the ability to come to see you, but he has always avoided him, hasn't he?" Si You was not in a hurry or annoyed, and continued to say quietly. "I said a long time ago that your stepfather has abandoned you, so instead of clinging to him, it is better to join my command......"

"Shut up! I don't believe it!!" Lu Xingyue squeezed the Star Swirl disk tightly and said fiercely. "Whatever the circumstances, at least this Star Swirl disk tells me that he ...... now It's in the Imperial City! Where are you hiding him?

"Hey...... It's really not to hit the south wall, and the heart is not dead. Si You sighed and shook his head slightly. "If you insist, I can take you to meet him. But...... One thing I want to know, you were in the Nine Springs Eye before...... What do you see?"

"What I saw there has nothing to do with the content of our 'deal', so don't talk about it!"

"Heh, is it really something 'unrelated'?" Si You narrowed his eyes and said meaningfully. "Whether you can see him or not depends on whether you see something you shouldn't see. ”

"What the hell do you want to say!" Lu Xingyue's eyes burst out with a sharp light again, and the sharp hook that was wrapped around Si You's neck began to slowly tighten. "If you go back on your word, don't blame me......"

Before the words fell, he saw that Si You suddenly made a sharp move, grabbed the hook that was wrapped around his throat, and at that moment, the cold frost immediately gathered on the light rope and spread towards Lu Xingyue! Seeing this, Lu Xingyue's face changed greatly, and he immediately dodged and tried to distance himself, but he found that a piece of frost had already spread under his feet at some point, firmly fixing his steps in place.

"Bang!"

The frozen hook turned into broken ice with a flick of Si You's fingers, and dissipated in mid-air, seeing that the situation was not good, Lu Xingyue's expression was grim, and then he put his hand into his arms without hesitation, but before he could touch the "last weapon" in his arms, his movements suddenly froze.

I saw a sharp icicle hitting the back of his head in the air, cold and full of murderous intent.

"Do you think that as long as you use the 'Dragon Bone Key' to tear open the spatial rift here, you will be able to escape?" Si You sneered, reached into Lu Xingyue's arms, and took out the crystal key that emitted green light. "What do you think I've spent so much time talking to you for, and if you're on guard at every turn, how can I not be careful?"

"You...... Despicable, shameless, treacherous!" Lu Xingyue yelled angrily.

"Hmph, since you disobeyed me and entered the 'Nine Springs Spring' with that living dead, you have first reneged on our 'agreement'. Si You said indifferently, taking the 'Dragon Bone Key' into his arms. "I didn't want to do it to this extent, but now that you've seen things you shouldn't see, even if you don't want to, I'll have to keep you. ”

After speaking, Si You stretched out his hand and waved, and layers of frost began to spread along Lu Xingyue's legs, gradually covering his whole body.

"Goodbye, 'Otherworldly Merchant'...... Lu Xingyue. ”

----------------------------------

"Rumble......

The low roar slowly faded away with the fading thunder, and a cloaked black shadow stood in the shadows, calmly staring out the window at the golden thunder and lightning that had disappeared into the edge of the canopy, not knowing what to think.

"Finally...... Are you gone?" the shadow murmured, the afterglow of golden thunder and lightning reflected in his eyes, before disappearing behind the deep ink.

"Master, so you're ...... here"

A woman's voice suddenly sounded from behind her, and she saw a thin maid slowly walking out of the darkness and saluting respectfully towards the black shadow.

"'What happened over there'...... It's all settled?" the shadow didn't look back, but asked calmly.

"Yes, those two have been captured by Si You, and the 'Dragon Bone Key' is also in hand. The maid replied. "It's just that I really didn't expect that the living dead named Jiang Yao would lose control of his demonic power in the spring and destroy part of the magic circle, and it may take a while to repair it before restarting the production of puppet undead. ”

"Hmph, it's not surprising that that level of demonic power has destroyed the entire spring. The dark shadow sneered. "But from another point of view, since he can possess that kind of demonic power, it means that the 'one spirit' released from the 'Seven Star Soul Bundle Array' in Yuanqiu Mountain before has indeed been taken away by him. ”

"We had been planning for several years, and we finally set up a game to destroy the 'Seven Star Soul Binding Array', but in the end, we were taken advantage of by that kid!" the maid whispered, her face a little gloomy. "However, it is really unexpected that the 'living dead' has the ability to absorb 'that spirit'......"

"The 'living dead' who changed the 'Mandate of Heaven' without permission...... I wonder if he's actually ......," the shadow groaned, not going on.

"Master, this matter is not trivial, should we inform the 'above' ...... as soon as possible?" asked the maid.

"No, anyway, after this incident, the recycled ones will still come back to us. The shadow said dryly. "It's inevitable that there will be extraneous branches, what happened in the 'Nine Springs Spring' this time, don't talk about it for the time being. ”

“…… Master, are you so worried because you are afraid of injuring 'that child'?" the maid hesitated for a moment, and looked cautiously at the dark shadow in front of her. "You've helped 'that kid' stop the stone tablet that was thrown at him in the spring...... And sure enough...... Still can't let him go?"

"......" The black shadow did not speak, he turned in silence, and looked down coldly at the maid, who suddenly felt a chill all over his body, and hurriedly knelt down on one knee, and solemnly added:

"The subordinates have no malicious intent! At the beginning, the subordinates were seriously injured and dying, but thanks to the master's rescue, they saved their lives, and the subordinates had no second thoughts about the master! The subordinates were just worried...... I'm afraid that if the kid finds out about you, I'm afraid it will affect our plans......"

"Don't worry, he won't find out. The dark shadow turned his head and looked back at the gloomy sky outside the window. "On the other side of the Realm, it seems that Lingyutai has already found some clues, and these are the things you need to think about how to deal with them. ”

"Yes!" the subordinate understood......," the maid nodded, and then stood up.

In the faint light outside the window, I saw that the maid gradually faded from her ordinary face, and was replaced by a delicate and bewitching beautiful face. Not only that, but even her thin body began to undergo drastic changes in the demonic aura, revealing her original delicate figure.

"The 'bureau' of the realm has been roughly arranged, and the 'keel key' has also been obtained, and the plan can be started at any time. As for the black iron sword...... Although it fell into the hands of the Spirit Palace, I can assure you that they will not find anything. ”

The woman spoke, her long red nails brushing the long black hair around her ears, and her pale blue pupils flashed with a cold color.

"As for the Ye family, it seems that some 'little guys' are secretly doing things...... But rest assured, your subordinates will handle it without leaving a trace. ”

"You just have to arrange it. The shadow said lightly, caressing an object that emitted a golden light in his hand, while his gaze remained fixed on the gloomy canopy of thunder fading away, not knowing what he was thinking.

"It's changed...... Whether it is the Netherworld or the Earth Realm, this "storm" that spans thousands of years ...... It has already begun. ”
