"Let's go inside. ”

After a long silence, Mori Ruoxue finally spoke.

There was an indescribable heaviness in her tone, since the hatching of the black-winged spider butterfly egg, Mori Ruoxue's personality has also changed slightly, although the expression on her face is still indifferent most of the time, but it is a little more stable than before.

Zhu Qing glanced at her, nodded, and said, "Okay." ”

The two walked into the gate of Aoba Castle side by side, the sound of a howling wind in their ears, and the wide street was empty, and there was no one in it.

Zhu Qing and Sen Ruoxue glanced at each other, and they both saw a heavy look in each other's eyes--how long has it been since Aoba City has become like this? The originally bustling streets were always full of people coming and going, and the cries of selling were endless, but now they had become this lifeless and lifeless look.

"What should I do next?" Sen Ruoxue suddenly asked Zhu Qing.

Zhu Qing was stunned, he didn't expect Sen Ruoxue to suddenly ask for his opinion. At this moment, Sen Ruoxue was looking at him with a serious face, with a hint of expectation in her eyes, which inexplicably brought Zhu Qing some confidence.

He calmed down and thought for a moment - now the Thousand Machines Pavilion is not suitable to go back for the time being, after all, it has been completely infiltrated, and rushing back is tantamount to throwing himself into a net, and he is not sure what will happen.

Zhu Qing didn't believe that the people of the Heavenly Sword Sect had such a great ability to slaughter all the people in Aoba City overnight. And if those people weren't killed, where would they go? The people of the Heavenly Sword Sect would not be able to let them go, nor would they have enough power to kill them in one go, in that case......

In order to confirm his guess, Zhu Qing took Sen Ruoxue around the main street, walked into a secluded alley, and stopped in front of a tightly closed gate. Zhu Qing stretched out his hand and knocked on the door, and listened attentively for a while.

There was the sound of breathing that suddenly became nervous, and the sound of weapons clashing. Zhu Qing had a bottom in his heart, and glanced at Sen Ruoxue, who nodded in understanding, took a few steps back, and slowly condensed a few sharp ice arrows in his hand.

Zhu Qing held his breath, cautiously listened to the footsteps that were getting closer and closer, and was ready to make a move with the other party, but at this moment, a trembling voice sounded on the other side of the door, with fear and strong composure: "Who...... Who is it?"

It was a child's voice.

Zhu Qing's eyes showed a little surprise, but he didn't relax the vigilance in his heart, he thought about it and replied, "We are from the Thousand Machine Pavilion. ”

This answer can be regarded as pertinent, first of all, Sen Ruoxue is the pavilion master of the Thousand Machines Pavilion, and although Zhu Qing did not worship the Thousand Machines Pavilion, he also accepted the other party's commission, and he can be regarded as half of the Thousand Machines Pavilion.

Who knows, the voice immediately became vigilant and said angrily: "You are lying!"

"The people of the Thousand Machine Pavilion are obviously dead!"

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Qing's eyes immediately widened, and then a trace of nervousness flashed through his heart, and he suddenly turned around to stop it, but it was too late-

Mori Ruoxue's ice arrow suddenly shot out when she heard this sentence, directly smashing the gate in half!

With a scream of "Ahh

"Who are you......" The young man's body trembled uncontrollably, and his big dark eyes were full of horror, but he did not open his mouth to beg for mercy.

Sen Ruoxue took a step forward, her beautiful eyes full of anger: "What did you just say, you say it again?!"

"I ...... I ......" the boy stammered speechless.

At this moment, a baby's cry suddenly came from the back room, Zhu Qing's face changed, but he was a beat slower - Sen Ruoxue broke into the house like the wind, and in a blink of an eye, she held the baby's swaddling clothes in her arms.

The young man's face suddenly turned into anger and fear: "You let him go, don't touch my brother!"

"Oh, if you don't make your words clear, I'll kill your brother. Sen Ruoxue said coldly, and her white slender hand reached into the swaddling clothes and grabbed the baby's neck.

From Zhu Qing's point of view, it can be clearly seen that Sen Ruoxue didn't really exert force, but just made a show with his hands. In the eyes of the young man, his younger brother was already lying in the arms of the ghost.

In addition, Mori Ruoxue's hands have always been very cold, and the baby may have been frozen, and immediately cried.

"Don't kill him, something is coming at me!" the young man yelled and wanted to pounce, but Sen Ruoxue pretended to be strong and successfully stopped the young man's footsteps.

"What do you want to know, I don't know anything!" the young man shouted in a broken heart, "A few days ago, the Heavenly Sword Gate suddenly went to challenge the Thousand Machines Pavilion, I only heard that there was blood all over the place, and there was no one in it......"

When the young man said this, he said angrily at Sen Ruoxue: "That's all I know! You quickly return your brother to me, if you want to kill someone, then kill me!"

Sen Ruoxue's eyes were rolling with rage, and Zhu Qing hurriedly stepped forward to suppress her hand and shook her head slightly.

Sen Ruoxue stared at Zhu Qing for a long time, and finally slowly let go of the hand holding the swaddling clothes. Zhu Qing stepped forward and picked up the baby, and when he saw that the baby was still crying, he whispered a few words.

Miraculously, when the baby heard his voice, he gradually stopped crying, his big eyes were rolling, and he stared at Zhu Qing curiously.

The young man's expression became very surprised, and he watched Zhu Qing come over in amazement, handed the baby to him, and said, "Take good care of your brother." ”

The young man took the child over like a treasure and swallowed his saliva: "You ...... Who the hell is it?"

The younger brother came back, and the young man could probably tell that Zhu Qing and Sen Ruoxue were not completely wicked, and his courage became a little bigger: "I don't know much about the affairs of Qianji Pavilion...... Did you get away from there?"

Zhu Qing shook his head, took a step forward, bent down, and asked with a sincere face: "Little brother, let me ask you, what happened in this Qingye City?

The young man didn't show anything when he spoke in one go, but now when he heard the name of the Heavenly Sword Gate, he shook suddenly, revealing a very frightened expression.

"Heavenly Sword Gate ......" The young man glanced at the gate that was broken by Sen Ruoxue in horror, and shook his head: "You still have to come with me." ”

Zhu Qing and Sen Ruoxue glanced at each other, and Zhu Qing took the lead and followed the young man into the back room.

The inner room was very spacious, and while the boy was coaxing the baby in his arms, he stepped forward and pressed the back of the bookshelf, and the bookshelf slowly moved open, revealing an iron door.

"Come in. The young man hesitated for a moment, perhaps because Zhu Qing's previous performance made him feel that these two were not bad people, so he was willing to share this secret with them.

"My name is Zhao Ze. The young man introduced himself: "This is my younger brother, named Zhao Yan." ”

The relationship between Zhao Ze and his younger brother seemed to be very good, and as soon as he finished saying this, Zhao Yan in his arms giggled and reached out to grab his brother's hair.

Zhao Ze coaxed a few words softly, Zhao Yan quieted down and fell asleep quietly.

"Sit down. Zhao Ze put his younger brother on a special cot and said to Zhu Qing and Sen Ruoxue.

Sen Ruoxue quietly watched his movements from beginning to end, but did not sit down as the other party said, but said directly: "You're welcome, we'll wait for you to finish and leave immediately." ”

Zhao Ze choked and seemed a little embarrassed: "I'm not trying to drive you away...... It's just that now that Aoba City has become like this, even if you go out, I'm afraid no one will dare to take you in except me. ”

"What the hell is going on?" Zhu Qing asked with a frown.

Zhao Ze sighed and said, "You also know, right? Speaking of this, Zhao Ze couldn't help but shudder again, and hesitated for a while before continuing: "Just a day ago, the people of the Heavenly Sword Gate suddenly said that they would block the entire Aoba City and not allow anyone to go out, and the city gate was wide open, and they had to wait for their target to fall into the net. ”

The "target" is naturally Zhu Qing and Sen Ruoxue.

Zhu Qing asked suspiciously, "Could it be that the people in Aoba City listen to them?"

"How is it possible?!" Zhao Ze immediately retorted, then smiled bitterly, and said, "Don't talk about those hot-tempered guys, even those of us don't want to ...... But who knows, the master of the Heavenly Sword Gate suddenly appeared and opened a killing ring on the spot, you may not have seen that scene, right......?

When Zhao Ze said this, he swallowed his saliva, and his face turned pale for a while before he continued: "Since then, everyone in Aoba City has been in danger, everyone has hid in their homes, and those who have come from afar have hid in the inn. ”

"And those who can't find the inn and don't have the ability to leave here......" Zhao Ze couldn't go on.

Sen Ruoxue took over the conversation indifferently and said, "They were all killed, right?"

Zhao Ze trembled, not affirming Sen Ruoxue's words, but he didn't have any rebuttal. There was a deep silence in the room.

I see. Zhu Qing thought - the current Aoba City has become a dead city.

No one can get in, no one can get out.

Zhu Qing sighed deeply - he understood Sen Ruoxue's mood, what she wanted to do most at this moment must be to seek revenge from the Heavenly Sword Gate, but making a rash move would only cause big trouble!

They didn't know what the strength of their opponents was, and the people who could come to Aoba City were all masters from all sides, but the Heavenly Sword Sect Master easily killed them, and with the assistance of the Blood Sacrifice Method, wouldn't this person be getting stronger and stronger.

There was another thing that surprised Zhu Qing the most-could it be that the people of the Thousand Machine Pavilion had all been killed as Zhao Ze described? Mo said that the Thousand Machine Pavilion could not be so weak, just looking at Qiu Lanzun, he would definitely not sit still!
