Chapter 485: The Sea of Corpses and Blood Flowers, Secretly Penetrating the Heart Demon
Chu Yuan recalled these secrets that his father had mentioned, and he broke out in a cold sweat for a while, he never thought that the old marquis who had reached the sky was not dead, but was imprisoned in this ghost place like a pig and a dog.
Even if it weren't for the two of them mentioning it today, even Chu Yuan himself wouldn't know that he had spent such a long time close to that Hou Ye at hand.
However, from the words of the two of them, it is obvious that the old marquis's situation is not good now. If it weren't for the fact that he had full confidence, who would dare to talk about the iron-armed marquis who had stepped into the pinnacle of the Grandmaster Realm decades ago and was invincible in the southern and northern wars.
It is also said that after being imprisoned in such a place for more than ten years, even if it is a king, I am afraid that he only has one breath left, let alone an old marquis who has already passed his prime.
Chu Yuan looked at the huge cage in the corner of the wall again, and there was already a little pity between his eyebrows, perhaps because of his family history, he always had a sense of awe for this kind of princely general who was loyal to the country on the battlefield.
His father was dedicated to serving the country, but in the end he did not die well, and when he heard the name of this old marquis, he naturally felt a touch of affection in his heart.
Compared with his father, this old marquis is undoubtedly more miserable, although his father has meritorious service to the country, but compared with this figure known as the humerus of the first emperor and the pillar of the army, it is obviously far behind.
And although their Chu family was beheaded all over the house, they still left some blood, either exiled or confiscated into the army, and were not completely wiped out. And this old marquis is really wiped out by the three clans, even if he himself has not died, but he has been trapped in this cell for more than ten years, and he is already worse than dead.
Chu Yuan didn't have any ill feelings towards this iron-armed marquis, even though he knew that most of the rumors he had heard in the past were just one-sided words, but after all, he still didn't believe that the old marquis with superb cultivation and monstrous power would make a big rebellion.
After all, he followed the emperor to fight in all directions, and had already made great achievements, and decades of life on horses not only made his cultivation reach the pinnacle of the grandmaster realm, but also proficient in arranging troops, even if he had already disarmed and returned to the field, his prestige in the army was rarely matched.
It's really hard to imagine why with his status he has the heart of rebellion, and after he is disarmed and returned to the field, he has no soldiers and no power in his hands.
Chu Yuan shook his head lightly, hiding all the emotions in his eyes, no matter how much truth and conspiracy there were in the events of the past, with the collapse of the Iron Arm Marquis Mansion, it had already disappeared. Even if the current Hou Ye is still alive, he is like a walking corpse, and in the eyes of the outside world, he is already a dead man.
In this dungeon, as the agreement between the girl and the old man reached an agreement, the suffocating killing intent in the air gradually converged, but it was only convergent, far from being completely dissipated.
Even with Chu Yuan's vision, he could see that the two people in front of him happened to be at a complex balance point, and either side could break this delicate balance if they crossed the line slightly.
I don't know what kind of realm this old man's cultivation is, he has been operating in this city for decades, no one knows how many means he has left, he is hiding too deeply, not to mention that Chu Yuan and this girl have joined forces, even a few generals in the city may not be able to take him.
And the girl has the blood spell in her hand, and the old marquis who is imprisoned in the cage of the edict is so that she throws a mouse into the trap, and she does not dare to act rashly, although the atmosphere between the two has eased temporarily, but if you are not careful, there will definitely be a dispute again.
And by that time, the use value of both sides has been exhausted, and then it will really be a situation of tearing the skin.
At this time, as the old man stopped speaking, the girl slowly walked back to the mountain of corpses where bones had accumulated, and under her feet stepped on one corpse after another with terrifying faces, this red-haired girl was like a mandala blooming in the underworld and hell.
As the girl slowly lowered her head, silently, wisps of blood were born from nothing. The wisps of blood floated between heaven and earth, although they were not eye-catching at the beginning, but as time went by, they became thicker and thicker.
Seeing this, Chu Yuan couldn't help but take a few steps back, sticking to the edge of the wall from a distance, looking at the blood light rising above the mountain of corpses, with a complicated look in his eyes.
He was no stranger to the power of this blood-colored radiance, he had seen it more than a dozen times in the past few days, and every time there was this blood-colored brilliance, it was when this girl used a secret technique to extract the blood and qi essence from the bones.
It's just that the difference is that every time the girl casts the secret method before, what she extracts is the flesh and blood power contained in a corpse bone, but this time the scope of the blood-colored brilliance on the girl's body has extended dozens of times, and the thousands of corpses in this cell seem to be gradually drying up at this moment, and a pungent bloody breath is gradually coming to the face.
In this dark and damp dungeon, when the blood qi was slowly brewing, outside the dungeon, in a military camp in the Demon Pass, a burly and cold-faced general untied his battle armor and slowly sat down in his usual practice place.
Looking at the cold edges and corners on his face, it was the general who had not appeared in the city for a long time after taking the blood-colored Yuan Crystal from the head of the cell, Qi Zhou.
When Ye Han went to Urn City to enlighten the Tao, he was overwhelmed by the blood crystal qi and the tyrannical intent in his heart, and he collided with the prince, although in the eyes of the Imperial Demon Pass, Ye Han was not angry about this, but in front of everyone, he was inevitably admonished.
Although the general who led the army at that time did not know why he did such a move, he also noticed that he was not quiet in his heart, and he was full of murderous intent, and he was about to fall into the demons in his heart.
Therefore, he also took advantage of the reason of the collision with the throne to cut off his military position at this time, and ordered him to be grounded in the military camp to reflect on it.
The warrior's heart demon tribulation is menacing and dangerous, and because it is all born from the thoughts of the heart, ordinary people are really difficult to help. Therefore, if you encounter a demon in your heart, ignoring external objects, it is naturally the best way to retreat and polish your mind.
However, he didn't know that Qi Zhou's inner demons were caused by external objects, and the confinement during that period of confinement not only did not make him clear his mind, but because he was punished, the flaws in his heart were further expanded.
Because of the bloody and tyrannical heart, he didn't notice his abnormality at all, perhaps he didn't perceive it, he didn't regard it as a demon, but felt that the punishment in the army was unfair, and the depression made his heart even stronger.
At the beginning, his actions clearly abided by the orders of the generals in the army, how could idle people and others enter the urn city without permission and observe the secret pattern? ?
It's not because that person has a throne-level cultivation that the generals in the army and the princes in the city don't dare to offend easily, and his obstruction according to reason and law naturally becomes a collision with the princes.
All of this comes from the difference in cultivation, if he has the cultivation of the realm of the Martial King, how can he fall to this!
