"Quick, go over there and look for it, don't let those two run away!"

The searching guards roared through the Imperial City, and in a remote corner of the building, a figure watched vigilantly at the distant guards, and then silently hid his figure in the shadows, carrying the man into a ruined abandoned building nearby.

"Hide here for a while, they won't be able to spot us for a while. Jiang Yao carefully put down the seriously injured Lu Xingyue from his back, and then tore off the clothes on his body and began to bandage Lu Xingyue's wound to stop the bleeding.

"I shed so much blood, what did I do to you before I came......" Jiang Yao looked at the shocking wounds on Lu Xingyue's body, and secretly regretted that he didn't save people earlier, seeing that the clothes he had just wrapped were soon soaked in blood, Jiang Yao's brows became more and more wrinkled.

"I gave you the ...... before According to the corpse oil...... Are you still there......" Lu Xingyue leaned against the wall and opened her mouth weakly.

"It's still there, it's always been on me. ”

"Put corpse oil on the wound...... This thing...... Can stop bleeding......"

When Jiang Yao heard this, he immediately took out a small bottle in his arms and carefully wiped the liquid in it on Lu Xingyue's wound. To his surprise, the effect of this corpse oil can be described as immediate, just a blink of an eye, the original bleeding wound miraculously stopped bleeding, not only that, under the cover of corpse oil, the dirt in the wound was also automatically sucked out, and the entire wound completed anti-inflammatory debridement in an instant.

"This corpse oil...... It's amazing!" Seeing that Lu Xingyue's face had slightly recovered a little bloody, Jiang Yao's hanging heart finally let go for the time being.

“…… Of course...... This small bottle of stuff cost me 500,000 yuan......" Lu Xingyue said, looking up at Jiang Yao, who had rebandaged herself, but then gently looked away, her eyes flashing with a certain tangled emotion.

"Ginger ......"

"Huh?"

“…… I'm sorry. ”

"Oh, do you know you're sorry for me?" Jiang Yao teased with a smile. "If you really don't want to go, invite me to dinner when you get back to the realm, and I'll have to beat you up when the time comes. ”

"Hehe, why don't I invite you to a meal when the time comes......" Lu Xingyue smiled helplessly, but then she seemed to think of something, and the smile in her eyes dimmed again.

"Your stepfather...... Still no news?" As if noticing the loneliness in Lu Xingyue's eyes, Jiang Yao tried to speak.

"My father-in-law...... It should be in this 'Nine Springs Walled City', but I don't understand, why didn't he come to see me......" Lu Xingyue bit her lip lightly, her body trembling slightly.

"I was an orphan abandoned by my parents, and it was my stepfather who picked me up from the side of the road and raised me from a young age...... My name was also chosen by my father-in-law, because my father-in-law said that my eyes are as beautiful as the stars and the moon, and I hope that I will be safe in my future life under the light of the stars and the moon......"

Recalling the past, Lu Xingyue's pale face rarely showed a little warmth.

"My father-in-law not only treats me as his own, but also takes me everywhere to increase my knowledge, and even this demonic power that protects me at all times is also the ...... he 'injected' to me."

"Your father-in-law...... Not human?" Jiang Yao was a little surprised.

"Well, my father-in-law is a demon, and he is a very powerful demon. Lu Xingyue nodded and said.

"For me, whether it's a human or a demon, it doesn't matter at all, because in my heart, no one can compare to my father-in-law, but it's such an important existence, but one day...... Suddenly disappeared ......"

"......" Jiang Yao looked at Lu Xingyue's painful expression, and was speechless for a while, because he knew very well the feelings of suddenly losing an important person, which could not be comforted by words.

"The last place he went to was this 'Nine Springs Walled City'...... That's why I didn't hesitate to venture to the Netherworld. Lu Xingyue calmed down for a while and continued. "The 'Star Swirl Disk' you had on you was actually my father's belongings, and what I tracked with the Star Swirl Disk was my father's breath. ”

"I remember that Star Swirl Disk had clearly pointed the way, which meant ...... Is your stepfather really here?" Jiang Yao thought, still a little confused. "Also, how did your stepfather's Star Swirl Disk end up in the hands of the Russians at Yuanqiu Mountain? Could it be that your stepfather had been to Yuanqiu Mountain before?"

“…… I don't know, although my stepfather is very good to me, not everything will be told to me, and many times I don't know what he is doing. Lu Xingyue sighed and said. "Sometimes he even suddenly disappears for a while and then comes back, but this time he disappeared for years and didn't hear from him at all, so I was worried that something had happened to him......"

"Either way, since the Star Swirl Disk has detected your stepfather's breath, at least it means he's still alive, don't worry. Jiang Yao comforted, turned his head to look at the hustle and bustle of the guards running outside the window.

"Now what we have to think about is how to take back the 'Dragon Bone Key' from Si You's hands, as long as we take the key, the so-called [New Ghost Gate] should not be built, and we can also use the 'Dragon Bone Key' to return to the realm......"

Jiang Yao seemed to remember something, and turned to Lu Xingyue and asked.

"By the way, do you know where the 'altar' in this imperial city is?"

"'Altar'? I remember that there seemed to be a ...... in the center of this imperial city. What's wrong?"

"I heard from the guards who captured me that I seemed to be being treated as a sacrifice, and Si You ordered them to take me to the 'altar', and I thought Si You should be there. Jiang Yao said. "We can go over there and take a look, and maybe we can find a chance to reclaim the Dragon Bone Key. ”

"However, since Si You was originally going to take you to the altar, didn't you fall into the net now?"

"But if we hide in Tibet like this, we will be discovered sooner or later, so it is better to gamble, as the so-called 'the most dangerous place is also the safest place', Si You should not have imagined that we would take the initiative to find him. Jiang Yao said and stood up. "You're injured, just hide here first, and I'll go and find out. ”

"Without me, can you find where the 'altar' is?" Lu Xingyue sighed, gritted her teeth and stood up, and said. "Stop talking nonsense, let's go together......"

"Pound ——!"

As soon as the words fell, a loud crashing sound suddenly burst out not far behind them! Jiang Yao's faces changed greatly, and they hurriedly turned their heads to look behind, only to see that in the dust in the sky, two rickety black shadows broke through the window, and stood in front of Jiang Yao and Lu Xingyue.

"Gu Eagle!?, not good ......"

As soon as he saw the two hideous one-eyed monsters in front of him, Jiang Yao's heart suddenly became alarmed, he hurriedly pulled up Lu Xingyue and rolled to the side, only to hear the sound of "boom", the ground where the two of them were just now was instantly torn apart under the attack of the Gu Eagle, and such a big movement quickly attracted the attention of the nearby guards.

"Guys over there! Hurry up, fence up, fence ......"

Oops!

Jiang Yao looked at the guards surrounded by the window, and secretly said in his heart that something was wrong, and how could the two Gu Eagles in front of him let go of the prey that was close at hand, and soon, a new round of attacks followed one after another. Jiang Yao, who was cornered, bit his teeth, and then protected Lu Xingyue behind him, and the energy pulse in his body began to activate quickly with his thoughts.

Hula......

In the blink of an eye, strong mana fluctuations suddenly jumped up from Jiang Yao's body, only to see a giant claw phantom entangled with dark purple and a trace of red electric light gradually shrouded Jiang Yao's right arm, and with Jiang Yao's angry shout, it swung towards the rushing Gu Eagle!

"Boom!!"

A dazzling flash of lightning flashed through the walls of the building, and the already crumbling abandoned building collapsed, instantly crushing the two Gu Eagles under the ruins, and the dust rising from the sky filled the surroundings, catching the guards gathered around by surprise, and Jiang Yao, who was the culprit, had already carried Lu Xingyue on his back and escaped from the encirclement by taking advantage of the chaos.

"You...... Your hand ......" Lu Xingyue looked at the giant claw phantom on Jiang Yao's arm in surprise, and his heart was uneasy, this was the third time he was shocked by Jiang Yao's strength.

"Don't worry, there is no rampage this time. Jiang Yao seemed to hear Lu Xingyue's question, and said as he ran. "Didn't you say before that most people who have been 'incarnated' can use demonic power to conjure up unique weapons? It seems that my 'weapon' is this claw, which was automatically used after being cornered before. ”

"And the mana in your body...... Isn't it going to get out of hand?"

"At least not yet, thanks to the blessing you gave me with your mana. Jiang Yao said. "But because my current cultivation level is not enough, and I don't know how long I can last this time, we still have to hurry...... Huh?!"

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Yao suddenly stopped at his feet, only to see a boulder rubbing his scalp and smashing in front of him, and before the two people who had palpitations had time to breathe, they heard more strange roars like babies crying from all directions, and the black shadows appeared one by one from all corners of the surroundings.

"Here, see where you are going!"

The voice of the guards chased after them again, firmly blocking the retreat of the two, and in front of them were the boulders and the roaring Gu Eagles.

"Tsk, there's no way, if it goes on like this......"

Jiang Yao, who was exhausted, began to squeeze the energy veins in his body to gather in his right hand, and the giant claw phantom in his right hand also began to elongate violently with the energy fluctuations in his body, and with a wave of his hand, several Gu eagles that were close to him were caught off guard by the giant claw phantom filled with dark purple electric light!

It seems that this "new ability" can open up a way...... Not!

Just as Jiang Yao was about to fight hard, a sudden trance made his movements stagnate, and at the same time, a strange sense of excitement mixed with an ethereal sound instantly surged into his head.

[Hehehe...... Got it...... It's 'it'......]

It's the same voice again...... Why is it ...... at this time!

【…… Quick, go ...... 'it' is nearby......]

"Jiang Yao, what's wrong with you!"

Sensing that Jiang Yao's state was different, Lu Xingyue's face couldn't help but change, only to see Jiang Yao covering his head in pain, under the violent mood fluctuations, the giant claw phantom in his hand began to flicker and darken, and even the depths of his pupils were filled with a strange blood-red color. However, what is even more terrible is that the Gu Eagles who have been watching for a long time around them also launched an attack at this time, roaring and rushing towards Jiang Yao and the others!

"Bang, pound——!"

A whirlwind whistled past Jiang Yao's ears, but the expected attack did not come.

Jiang Yao shook his swollen and aching head, struggling to raise his head, and what caught his eyes was a familiar and domineering red color.

"Yes...... Is that you?" Jiang Yao's eyes widened, looking at the corpse of the Gu Sculpture in front of him, looking down at his tall man with a mocking expression, he couldn't believe his eyes.

“…… Gluttony!"
